Noctis made fun of my hair once back when I had a blonde faux-hawk. Honestly was sort of asking for it. Now I've stabilized my hair and beard and situation but Tele keeps being mean cuz I don't smile in pictures. Also, Pink is a poster boy for bald is beautiful. Real talk.

Wait, Coolio posted a picture? I always picture him as Ewan McGregor, because that's the first Scottish dude to come to mind. And I feel validated since I know they're both WokeBaes now.

The parallels are uncanny. I agree. The Dark Terror of Comrade Tele has begun. Mods of the world unite.

Outside of Lucy has there been any proof ScarJo is a legit draw at all, or was that just fanboy hype? And I like her alright. Even Lucy, I feel like that was a hit because "it was so deep and thought-provoking." Seriously, every kinda dumb kid from my high school made a post about how "mindblowing" that movie was. It's a movie people watch when they want to seem smart but don't want to actually watch something smart (IMO and all that, no offense). Underrated niche. Would have probably done like 80 percent as much with Natalie Portman or Emily Blunt tbh.

LMAO ScarJo really racking that money up. Her casting means it might get 16 mill instead of the 14 mill it would have got with someone else. It's a business, mannnnn.

One more thing about the action hero discussion: I watched Witness the other day with prime Harrison Ford and I'm pretty sure I'm gay now. Dude was so fucking electric. I can see why my mom named me after him. Anyway, Harrison Ford is the perfect counterpart to the 80s roided up dudes for hipster intellectuals like me. We need a guy like that to come around again.

I love the Arnold movies because he was the only one of these guys who seemed to be in on the joke. Everything Arnold did had a wink to it. And he picked great projects. I love Stallone in Rocky and Creed but otherwise always been a hard no on that dude. Too much macho shit for me. Sorry Coolio. The other guys are lames. Just not my era of filmmaking for the most part.

We know every libertarian in Hollywood because it's the first thing libertarians tell anyone. They're like vegans and Phish fans - they'll tell you within five minutes of meeting them. I'd hate to meet a vegan libertarian Phish fan, they'd be a very confused individual.

True. Still around too bigly. Mark Wahlberg and Liam Neeson been making the same kinda shit for ten years. Box office has greatly diminished for it, so who knows. Also, Daddy's Home 2 is coming out with Mark Wahlberg and his father Mel Gibson. Apparently the action marketplace dried up so they've taken over mediocre family comedies.

There's a fake Death Wish poster with Liam Neeson that I see someone share on Facebook every two months with the comment "OMG I'm so excited!" People fall for it nearly the same rate as the fake Boondocks poster with Samuel L. Jackson. I swear I've seen someone share that with "This is gonna be amazing" every week since I was in high school.

Honestly most Clint movies since Dirty Harry have kinda been the genesis of Make America Great Again. Even awesome ones like Unforgiven. Except for Million Dollar Baby, of course. He's a total cuck for that one.

Went wide 11 days before Obama was inaugurated. Really served as the mission statement for the next eight years for the GOP tbh. They saw that shit become a big hit and thought "Hmm........."

Voice acting is the easiest paycheck in Hollywood. Bill Murray got like five mill for working two days on the Garfield movie he thought was directed by the Coens brothers. Not exactly the Revenant in terms of a tough shoot. Though I'm sure Tom Hardy would probably beat up the director of the Smurfs, too. They shoulda got him for Papa Smurf.

I knew it wasn't Death Proof I was just trolling. I've never seen Death Wish but from what I've heard, but it isn't it about an old white guy super-murdering a ton of black kids? One of them is, at least. I'm not gonna comment cuz I haven't seen it but man THAT would have been a hell of a weekend thread. Especially knowing the thoughts of some of those 80s actions fans on PC culture.

I think we established yesterday that South Carolina would be much better off if they were the GameSchlongs.

All those handjobs for nothing.

Are we sure Futurist and lordmandeep aren't the same guy? Is this a Prestige situation? I don't think I've ever seen them post at the same time.

Pink is my friend IRL life too, but honestly? Fuck 'im.

It is true. Honestly, you should be banned.

I'm gonna be honest, I thought Death Note was that Charles Bronson movie until two minutes ago, so turns out what I know. I guess that's Death Proof.

Never got the "why are we so off-topic" posts in the box office thread. Numbers come in three times a day and we talk about them for an hour and then go back to schlongs and Pink's hairline. There's only so many times you can say "Wow, Beauty and the Beast is doing great!" Then again, there's only so many times Pink can say something about the Boffies, and we're still letting him do it.

Is anyone calling the Departed and the Ring whitewashed? Nah, because they actually changed it and told an appropriate story. GITS they said "Okay, we're gonna keep an Asian supporting cast, have characters dress in Japanese attire and represent Japanese culture, set it in Tokyo, get the whole Asian experience in there for ya.....but hold up, audiences can't handle this without a white person lead. They need their adventure in Japanese culture with a side of white people." Set this shit in Boston or L.A. and change the stylings to fit and no one would be complaining. Instead, they made what apparently amounts to a shot-by-shot remake of a Japanese movie and Ctrl+V'ed a white lady in as the lead. Now, it'd still probably be a bad, empty movie, but the justifications for the bad reviews would be the opposite.

Look as Jay pointed out there's complexity to the white washing debate that's worth talking about. The problem is that with fanboy culture the way it is any attempt to have a discussion about or even point out a movie looks bad outside of the issue is greeted with a thousand people saying "PC libtards!!" and enumerating how their newest fanboy masterpiece couldn't actually be hated - it's all just a plot against a movie and their fans by evil critics and liberals. Shit is fucking toxic. And then you always have a few guys like clockwork on the whole "Well, I know a black guy who doesn't think this is a problem!" thing and hoisting him up as the voice of every non-white person around the world.

There's a difference?? They're all fucking cartoons. This shit is a cartoon just like Pokemon and Arthur. Guys just gotta admit that their favorite things are made with the same stylings as Dragon Tales and stuff like that. It's cool - that show was my childhood, I get it.

Of recent big 2000 horror remakes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre adjusts to 40 OW, Nightmare On Elm Street to 36, and Friday the 13th to 47. This is different because it's a great Stephen King novel and not a slasher movie (the latter has no interest for people like me), and this character isn't beat into the ground. But those are the comparisons we have available in terms of R-rated horror remakes as of late.
