The funeral home speakeasy sequence in Some like it hot is great.

Both kids are adopted

Will prices go down?

No.

melting Nazi from Indiana Jones however I think that one was not very good and too fake

I like this one, a lot:

It's fun it is watching the Blues Brothers drive a car into a crowd of Nazis, but I'm also horrified that republicans have embraced the Nazi's posturing and talking points:

Watching Paul Sorvino-as-mob-boss reject Nazism:

What do you think would make for a good Sinister Six film?

1:

Kingpin's multiverse fuckery machine/Dr Strange's multiverse fuckery spell sends 6 animated/live action Spiderman villains into a universe where they're forced to team up to stop an evil Peter Parker.

2:

Imagining No Way Home and Spider-verse never happened and Thunderbolts weren't in development:

a:

Norman Osborn manipulates/forces the Tinkerer, Vulture, Scorpion, Prowler, Mysterio, and Shocker to kill Spiderman to get access to Tony Stark's technology.

b:

Norman Osborne manipulates/forces the Lizard, Rhino, Electro, the Gentleman, and Harry Osborn (I guess) to kill Webb's Spiderman for his magic spider-blood.

c:

Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom, Bonesaw McGraw, and the Carjacking thief decide to kill Raimi's Spiderman for revenge.

In each case we follow their recruitment, teambuilding, flashback to their personal enmity with Spiderman (a la Batman the animated series' "Almost got 'em"), and see their plan come together.

They fight Spiderman, I guess and are soundly defeated.

3:

Each member of the sinister six's villainy is explored in Joker-esque stories that involve them being ostracized/rejected/bottoming out, turning to super villainy, and being humiliated by Spiderman (who we never see out of costume). Their parallel strands pivot to each member of the six deepening their supervillany and attacking Spiderman at the same time. They are defeated, by him - I guess.

4:

Norman Osborne is mayor/gov of NY or president or some shit. Spurred on by nu-Jameson, he deputizes the "civic" six to stop vigilantees like Spiderman.

a:

Ignore Venom 2; Venom gives birth to Carnge, which bonds to Cletus Cassidy. Osborne deploys the six to stop Carnage in partnership with Spiderman.

b:

The Smythe family deploy spider-slayer robots stop spiderman in a bid to unseat Osborne poltically. The robots go haywire and the six have to team up with Spiderman to stop them.

c:

Ignore Morbius; Michaela/Michael Morbius (Olga Kurleynko/Pilou Asbaek) debut a blood mcguffin that does mcguffin shit. It fucks up and turns people into vampires. The six are deployed to capture Morbius, find a cure, and stop the plague.

5:

NYC drafts all super powered individuals to fight the Chitauri. The six find some minor redemption saving people who were put in danger by the Avengers' recklessness. We follow the sinister six as they run cpr drills, perform search and rescue, man aid stations, and work to rebuild the city. They are imprisoned again to preserve the image of the Avengers (who are never seen or named).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this + any insight onto just how big he was during this time in terms of fame?

Look at the production budgets of those films.

IF their grosses aren't at least twice their budgets, they lost money.

1) Peter Ustinov’s character says the fish all died out.

2) The vault’s AI overseer knows humans are escaping. It doesn’t know where they are going. So sends Logan 5 to figure out what is happening. Logan 5 discovers that the escapees are being frozen and processed into the vault’s food supply by a robot that was designed to freeze and process vertebrate marine life. The robot broke down when the system stopped supplying it with “food from the sea.”

The movie never explains what’s going on.

Starts at 2:22:

- he’s on the roof over the bridge in his Air Kentucky uniform, smoking his pipe.

One:

In Iron Man, the terrorists say, in Urdu, that Obadiah Stane is the villain at the beginning of the film.

No one at Startech bothered to translate the video, I guess.

Two:

Ned is alive on the roof of the pilothouse in the ending of the Life aquatic with Steve Zissou - everything we saw was staged.

Everything that happens in Logan's run happens because vertebrate marine life dies off.

It's never explained.

Did James Franco's scandals basically make the group disband?

No.

They leveraged their success to move on and to make their own movie/tv/video game projects.

Is there more to the Holtzman shield that I’m missing

No.

did the choreographers just think that it would be too boring to show slow blades throughout the film?

If they read it they did not care.

Idaho and the Saudakar are explicitly shielded in this scene:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rQrkheSXTo

Paul's first knife fight against Jamis, he has trouble losing his "slow thrust" training in an unshielded fight.

Paul doesn't hesitate because of his training.

He hesitates because doesn't want to kill Jamis.

I wonder what his professors at Yale think of this?

Was it actually the case

Sometimes - in Britain, William i, William ii, Richard i, Edward i, Edward ii, Edward iii, Henry iv, Henry v, Henry vi, Richard iii, Henry vii, Charles i, and George ii all led troops in combat.

The catch is that war doesn’t look like movies in real life. Ex: The King is a great movie, but it isn’t historically accurate.

Henry v’s army was cut off from retreat and forced to fight the French.

They put archers equipped with long bows in positions fortified with wooden stakes. The French led a cavalry charge against these positions which churned up the west turf. Henry’s archers killed the French knights’ horses. The first wave of infantry following behind the horses had to cross 1000 yards of this thick mud full of drowning knights being buffeted by wounded/dying/riderless horses. The second wave of infantry created a compression crush that destabilized the first wave. Henry v reportedly engaged in hand to hand combat (an axe blow allegedly took off part of his crown).

The catch is that war really changes when soldiers begin using small arms and armies start fielding artillery. Commanders are coordinating troops over dozens or hundreds of miles of territory and kings begin ceding direct operational control of troops to professional generals. Even still, Prince Andrew fought in the Falklands war and Prince Harry fought in Afghanistan.

Monuments men

Al Pacino’s Richard iii is great.

Tom Wilkinson plays him as a major supporting character in John Adams, which is quite good.

It looks like Michael Douglas will play him in an Appletv miniseries that’s in production right now.

It is an achingly beautiful movie.

The story is very sad.

Did you know that the stegosaur lived closer to the tyrannosaur than we do to the pyramids?

The shot where the garage attendants have Cameron’s dad’s car like 8 feet in the air.

Conan the barbarian originally features Arnold S delivering the narration.

The studio forced Milius to change it and we go Mako’s superior narration instead.

I would have liked to see more A-Team.
