If so, they could have done it with just Jimmy saying, “Jules! My N****r.” Once and with a hard-R.
It was a way for Coppola to get his dad in the film.
in Dances With Wolves there is a weird scene right before Kevin Costner takes a wagon full of supplies to the abandoned army outpost. A crazy officer gives Costner the orders, and then pisses in his pants and commits suicide.
Huh?
I suppose it’s supposed to be symbolic of something.
But the movie is not about symbolism…it’s about pure realism.
I’m pretty sure it’s just to show they were at the end of the (white man’s) world.
I always thought that scene helped explain why Costner’s character was sent to such a remote outpost and why nobody else was there. It was essentially an abandoned post and probably wasn’t supposed to be garrisoned at all. Then, when Murphy Brown’s painter got ambushed on his way back, nobody knew Costner was there … which is why he was left alone so long and was able to learn about and befriend the locals.
Weeeellll
When Doc Brown takes off to THE FUTURE at the end, he drives down the street in front of the McFly’s and hits 88 quite easily. Thunder, lightning, time travel.
Then he comes back and wants to take Marty and Jennifer 30 years forward, and Marty’s all “there’s not enough road!” just so we can have the pointless flying car sequence. Dude, you just saw him do it!
Would have been easy to fix. Omit Marty’s line.
I think that’s my favorite scene from the movie. Everybody is suffering PTSD from the war and dealing with it in different ways. Nero Wolfe just decides to kill himself faster than Costner intends to.
I agree about the love interest part, but she did need the true believer as a confidant/advisor. To me, it’s key to the story and her development. I think the love interest part is just a quick way to establish that trusted relationship.
He backed up to the end of the street the first time. That’s all Marty was saying, back up a bit more.
I’d still like to know what the damn hurry was. He had a time machine! Leave now, leave a year from now- what difference would it make?
In ST: Generations Kirk’s unknown unseen romantic interest in the Nexus would have been replaced by a Joan Collins cameo as Edith Keeler.
I haven’t read the entire thread, but I would like to see the 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies (Supremacy and Ultimatum) without the Shaky-Cam.
Loved the first movie. I can’t watch 2 and 3.
Isn’t Marty minutes away from recklessly drag-racing his way into a hand-smashing crash that’ll derail his guitar-playing dreams?
In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the scene with the Mirror of Galadriel calls for subtlety. Peter Jackson opted for bombast. Cate Blanchett should be demonstrating that she is a Master Thespian, and the menace should be implied in her facial expressions and tone of voice. There was no need for shouting or special effects.
Wolf, with Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, ends with a shot of a wolf howling at the moon. Unfortunately, it looks like an animatronic puppet.
I’ve said this over and over! And my wife just looks at me like I’m crazy. Look, Hon, it’s not just me, it’s a random guy online, too!
Oh, and Minnie Driver gets the same Automatic Find/Replace.
But even Gandalf said he could not defeat the Witch King- in the books.
So, what was the ending used, and what was the better ending?
IMHO, Secondhand Lions was better with the Alternate Ending when the Foreign Legion? come riding out to give honor. But if you get the DVD, you get both.
I had heard- and maybe it is wrong- that it was HOLY water, but all those glasses of water the little girl had left everywhere had been blessed unknowingly by her father.
I doubt this- got a cite? Unless this is a joke?
It is not hypocrisy. See- the whole point of Blazing Saddles is that racism is evil, and stupid and bad.
Like the Jewish actors who played nazis in Hogans Heroes- they were happy to show nazis are stupid and incompetent.
Or have her donate it for a nonprofit for women or something.
The whole film is symbolism. "The Noble Red man, the nasty white man. "
I think it was perfect.
Breakfast with Tiffany.
Either you’ve seen the movie or you haven’t.
You mean Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Or is that some sort of porn spoof?
Andy Rooney’s part? Yep.
Where?
At last! I can share my long-time wish for Back to the Future.
Near the end, when Biff rushes in with a box, he should shout, “Marty, I think it’s your new record.” Marty opens the box and is mystified to find it does contain LPs of Dance Floor for Angels by his band the Pinheads. Lorraine coos that it’s Marty’s first record, and it’s a good thing he did decide to send that demo tape to the record company. (In the original, the box contains George’s first book A Match made in Space.)
We’ve already seen plenty of evidence that George is a better person thanks to Marty’s visit to 1955. With this change we see that Marty has improved, too.
Oh, and his share of the advance helped pay for the his new truck…
