Love this film
I like the bit where Will Ferrell sings in the pub
It is so fucking underrated!!
Dirty Mike and the Boys. Aim for the bushes. Gator donât play no shit!
So quotable haha
Yeah it has a 6.6 on IMDB which is shit low. But the actual written reviews are mostly 8,9 and 10âs. Still never really got the attention it deserved. Laughing out loud throughout the whole film.
Terry Hoitz: No, I donât like you. I think youâre a fake cop. The sound of your piss hitting the urinal, it sounds feminine. If you were in the wild, I would attack you, even if you werenât in my food chain. I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then Iâd bang your tuna girlfriend.
Allen Gamble: OK, first off: a lion, swimming in the ocean. Lions donât like water. If you placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot wave, Iâm assuming off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10. And guess what, youâve wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of lion. Weâve talked to ourselves. Weâve communicated and said âYou know what, lion tastes good, letâs go get some more lionâ. Weâve developed a system to establish a beach-head and aggressively hunt you and your family and we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring.
Terry Hoitz: How you gonna do that?
Allen Gamble: We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. Itâs not gonna be days at a time. An hour? Hour forty-five? No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get some more oxygen, and stalk you. You just lost at your own game. Youâre outgunned and out-manned.
[pause]
Allen Gamble: Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? Nope.
Michael Keaton moonlighting at Bed, Bath & Beyond and quoting TLC songs
The bad cop bad cop scene was also epic imo. Absolutely loved the film when I saw it for the first time.
GATOR DONâT PLAY NO SHIT
Iâm a peacock, you gotta let me fly on this one
I think I now need to watch this film immediately
Have you never seen it or ?
Lots of times. I just want to watch all the great bits that havenât been referenced yet.
Michael Keaton low key steals the show for me. Love the bit when heâs doing his managerial update for the bed bath and beyond staff, and mistakenly mentions there being a serial rapist in Crown Heights - âignore that, no wait donât ignore that if you live in Crown Heights, walk in pairsâ
Honestly, he does steal the show.
Whispering to the boys while theyâre fighting at the funeral
The whole Christinith scene absolutely kills me everytime.
âYou come to our house, you get my wifeâs name RIGHT! CHRISTINITH!â
Also, still occasionally say âPEEYOO, PEEYOO, Arnold Palmer alert, Arnold Palmer alert, who wants some Arnie Palmiesâ when bringing a round of drinks back to a table.
When they come running down the road after them as well âholy shit thatâs like 20 miles!â.
Terry not understanding what the federal reserve is also funny af. Iâll definitely rewatch this in the next few days. Tree-mendous.
âYou know what Terry, letâs just settle this. Peacocks donât fly!â
Yeah and you would think that because of the beard heâs probably really hairy, heâs actually completely shaved!
Haha yes that whole scene is great
Also, this is spot on:
The angry confusion portrayed by Mark Wahlberg throughout this movie was Oscar worthy.
Le Trou (1960)
In a French prison a bourgoisie inmate named Gaspard, who is imprisoned for the supposed attempted murder of his loving wife, is sent from his cell to another full of working class guys - who as it turns out are planning an escape. All is going well in the escape until Gaspard is called to the Directorâs office to receive some news.
Superb prison drama with an ending that is very interesting. Reading the discussions on the IMDb boards about it is enlightening.
EDIT:
Blimey!
The film is based on a true event concerning five prison inmates in La SantĂ© Prison in France in 1947. Director Becker, who died just weeks after shooting had wrapped, used mostly non-actors for the filmâs main roles, including one man (Jean Keraudy) who was actually involved in the 1947 escape attempt, and who introduces the film
Peterloo
Mike Leighâs adaptation of the massacre by the yeomanry on behalf of the government of the day at a meeting of workers looking for change in society.
Through out this film is a lot of at times flowery rhetoric with a boo hiss element too it. However with some strong character acting and when you get a feel for the story it builds into a worthwhile film and piece of history worth telling. 7/10
GvK 8/10
One hell of a enjoyable monster movie just sit back and enjoy ride.
Millie Bobby brown character and side story doesnât really add anything to the film just their to fill the film out.
Hahaha
Iâm rewatching this again now after all these posts and this film holds up so well
Such an unreal cast.
