I liked Chewy in this though. It could've been cool to get an Indian actor, but Chewy was the best part besides Damon

 

Also, seriously

if I ever make movies, provided it's a relatively light-hearted affair, I'm gonna end all of them with credits where the name shows up next to the actor in an epilogue scene. It's honestly what I'm still thinking the most about this movie is how sweet that was

[Dementeleus]

Take it to the next level, Blanks, and do bloopers over the credits.

[MrPink]

Predator is truly the king of credits.

No no, that would be BUCKAROO BANZAI.

The name "Venkat Kapoor" frankly does not allow for much of an interpretation of the character to be played by a non-Indian actor. Unless Chewy was adopted by an Indian family at a very early age, but then his accent isn't either Indian or US fully.

What jostled that in your memory, old man?

So how much of the science bro stuff is here? Science in general is bullshit to me but the added "YAAH BRAH FUCKING SCIENCE" thing makes it even worse.

[Dementeleus]

Science is bullshit to you? Whaaa?

(It's Macguyver, basically. They never go into that much detail, they just give basic concepts.)

I don't remember exactly, but didn't he have a line about how his father was a Catholic and his mother was a Hindu? (Which doesn't mean non-Indian, of course, but it gives the hint of an out).

[Jack Nevada]

Fuck science. Who cares.

[Dementeleus]

Fuck science. Who cares.

Shakin' ma head.

Like cool, keep doing the science. Don't show that shit to me though, I don't care.

True, I was surprised they kept the name Kapoor. I never caught his first name though. I just called him Chewy during the movie lol

I do.

This attitude is exactly what's wrong with A̶m̶e̶r̶i̶c̶a̶ Finland today!

[Charism]

Kapoors' name in the movie was Vincent. And there was a line about parents - one was buddist, second was some kind of christianity (not sure about second though). 

Oh, and the movie itself is enjoyable 'nothing much'. 7/10.

Movie was good. It was fun to see a few Budapest buildings.

[The Futurist]

Lots of movies are shot in Budapest.

 

Lol at Guillermo del Toro discovering during the Hellboy shoots that the city was also the european ahem capital of the world.
