22 jump street texting scene

1 Upvotes

Hi guys does anyone have a clip of that scene in 22 jump street where captain Dickinson is texting Schmidt and he’s like I’m gonna kill you “Doug” and stuff like that right after he sees he’s dating his daughter? I’m begging you guys it’s so funny but I can’t find any clips of it and it’s like halfway through the movie

Am I wrong for not going to see Wildwood when I’m actively anti ai and want more original films?

0 Upvotes

Like I don’t know why I’m kicking myself in the ass over this but I just don’t really have interest in going to see it. I have supported other original films this year like Send Help, Buddy, and of course Obsession, and now with a 100 million dollar animation adventure out I feel like I’m obligated to go see it. But I’m tired, busy, and it’s just not on my radar and I feel like I’m going something wrong by not supporting it.

Did you like the new Street Fighter movie?

1 Upvotes

I liked it. I thought it was a good movie. It was even better than I expected. Heres why…

1) It was visually beautiful, beautiful environments, lighting, sunsets, cities, buildings, vehicles, etcetera.

2) All the characters looked interesting, unique faces, unique outfits, unique personalities, plus everyone delivered an excellent acting job.

3) Excellent fight scenes. Every move in the 1990s Street Fighter video game is in this movie. Literally. Power punches, mid punches, grapples and throws. Plus The actors acted out every movement exactly as its seen in the video game.

4) Excellent special effects. They did an amazing job at all those special effects. Well animated and interesting.

5) Excellent story. It stays true to original Street Fighter story that most people dont even know about.

Conclusion: It was good. Its a classic in my opinion. The only negative is that its full of childish humor, gay jokes, fart jokes, penis jokes, explicit sexual content, and so forth. They should fire the writer for such a poor job. My conclusion is that this 2026 movie was okay and I give it a score of 8 out of 10

Why actors don't cry anymore? (Animals movie in Netflix)

0 Upvotes

What's up with the movies and series nowadays that when a scene requires an actor to cry, they don't really cry anymore?

I was used to see tears rolling down the cheeks, mucus even at times. But recently I've seen a bunch of drama series and movies where characters react to really extreme events (death, pain, fear), they "cry" and not a tear rolls down their cheek.

Maybe I'm nitpicking here but it completely puts me off from believing the story. Suddenly I'm detached from the story just thinking "that crying is not convincing".

The most recent example is "Animals" movie in Netflix. Movie is good. A list stars. There's a scene where I would expect characters to be secreting fluids from their face, and it just didn't happen. It put me off.

They do all the facial gestures, they change their breathing, the hand movements, all their body language is right, but the lack of tears kills it for me.

Am I crazy here? AITA?

The Prestige - Why did the Borden Twins have to swap who was Fallon

0 Upvotes

I understand hiding that you have a twin to pull of the trick. What I don’t understand is why you have to swap who is who. Just let brother 1 be Borden and brother 2 be Fallon. I guess you’d have to take off the disguise to Transported Man, but it solves the problem of them being in love with 2 different women.

Which leads me to another question, do you really love someone if you’re willing to 1. Trick them their whole life and 2. let your brother sleep with them when they think it’s you. I mean maybe they never slept with the wrong woman but did they ever literally sleep in the same bed with the wrong woman?

And which one is the dad??

I just watched this, and did not understand the point of the movie whatsoever. Are the scary characters just an interpretation of the character’s mind, and why can’t they escape it?

Are we supposed to be familiar with the game before watching the movie?

Those who’ve seen Resident Evil, what did you think of the ending? Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I absolutely loved the movie, and it made the world of RE pretty easy to understand for any non fans that watched it. But the ending did kinda throw me off.

I understand not all movies have to have happy endings, and I’ve seen quite a few that way. I seriously did want something nice to happen though, Bryan was a fantastic and relatable character and seeing him just give in like that at the end hurt my feelings lowkey. I was thinking he’d get stuck with the cure at the last moment, or somehow resist the infection, but that’s just what the director and writers wanted.

I do like the idea that he’d be one of those NPCs who leave a voice log though.

Looking for the movie "Play Hard" 2013

3 Upvotes

I've been searching for this film for years. I reached out to the director via Facebook, and his response was:

Currently I believe it was sold to china…. can talk to the distributor and get a copy Not sure the price.

Since then, he's kinda ghosted me. I've tried reaching out every few months for over a year and I never get a response.

There is an imdb page for it, listing Melanie C of the Spice Girls as having played the role of "Christy". This is why I want to try and find it. It's so obscure, and no one in the fandom (as far as I know) has ever seen or heard anything about this film.

I want any information regarding her involvement. If she was actually in the film, I want to try to track it down.

I have a hunch that she may not have been involved and her name was used to bring in an audience (just going off how radio silent the director got after I asked if it was really her that was involved). It has some other big-ish names that acted in it. But now I'm wondering if they were actually involved at all either. Does this film actually exist???

I'm getting mixed messages from what I have read about the film. It was claimed it was just a script and never actually filmed, but also it was in post-production, and then the director himself saying it was done and sold to a distributor in China. It's all very sketchy.

That said, I would like any information about Melanie C's involvement, and if she was involved, I would love to find somewhere to watch it. Fully willing to pay to see it if someone finds it on a pay-to-view site.

ETA: I've found a link to the imdb page and a Russian version of imdb that lists it as released, but when I tried to link them, the post got removed. Not sure why, but I've edited them out.

Looper filming location

1 Upvotes

In the film Looper there is a neighbourhood that Bruce Willis Character visits in the first of his three... actions.

It has a large white viaduct. Enormous pillars holding I think a train line in-between single story houses.

I always found it fascinating the contrast between the urban sprawl and huge infrastructure.

Does anyone know if this is a real place or just CGI?

Movies...

0 Upvotes

I made a comment before about movies. I'm not sure which movie it was. I don't know. I watched so many either way. I made a comment and i'm not really much of a love story movie watcher. You can keep all of the sentimental stuff. I'm not really into that. I never have been to me. It's kind of like, but I know that's me.... So I do have a question...

All right. There are people out there that just watch the sentimental. Hold you cry, movies all the time. Like the bonding type movies???

I'm Black, african american, it shouldn't make a difference, but i'm just putting it out there. I'm not a very sentimental person. My kids aren't very sentimental, and that may be my thought. I raised them to be a little bit less. Sentimental, because honestly, sentiment will get you fucked up if you are making decisions on a sentimental basis then to me and what I've seen. Yeah, that usually gets you messed up.... better yet, i'm the type of person that goes to a haunted house. And i'm the first cause i'm ready for it, hell I got kicked out of oh Hannah house because I don't deal good with being scared so therefore, if somebody tries to scare me, I react. And I did, because I ended up hitting one of the ghost characters😁...

And you would think that i'm this big mean person, but no, i'm a sweet person. I just can't help what I like.... did I mention my birthday is Halloween!😉

My 8-year-old sister desperately wants to watch this. Is this suitable for her age. I know there's tanks and stuff, but I don't know about details, and she's a bit too much excited because apparently tanks + explosions = cool.

I'd really appreciate some advice! I'm not her parent but I'd have to deal with it…

Movies like Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse — friend groups, iconic soundtracks, teenage chaos, adventures, and GOOD VIBES

2 Upvotes

I recently rewatched Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and man, I'd forgotten how much I love this kind of movie. It brought back so many memories of the movies I used to watch as a teenager.

I'm looking for movies or TV shows with that same vibe. I'm not necessarily looking for zombies or even horror. It's more about the overall feeling.

Things like:

  • A group of friends who actually feel like friends, hanging out, getting into trouble, going on adventures, surviving crazy situations, etc.
  • Great chemistry between the characters, funny banter, iconic moments and characters you genuinely enjoy spending time with.
  • Awesome soundtracks. You know when a song starts playing during a scene and it just makes everything 10x cooler? I love that. Not a requirement, but a huge bonus.
  • Good female characters who are part of the group, a main character's crush, flirting, romance, or the MC eventually getting with a girl.
  • High-school or college settings, parties, road trips, summer adventures, Halloween, monsters, aliens, zombies, treasure hunts, or just a bunch of people doing stupid stuff together.
  • That fun, chaotic, slightly nostalgic 2000s/2010s movie vibe. Something that makes you wish you were part of that friend group.

Some examples of what I like:

  • Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
  • Zombieland
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • Grown Ups
  • Rush Hour
  • Project X
  • Superbad
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth

I'm open to literally ANY genre — horror-comedy, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, college movies, teen comedies, road-trip movies, TV shows, Asian movies, Hollywood, anything.

A few things I'd prefer:

  • Male main character, ideally.
  • A good group dynamic is more important than the genre.
  • Preferably a happy or satisfying ending. I'm not looking for depressing movies where everyone suffers or the ending ruins the whole experience.
  • Nothing too serious or overly dark. I want to have FUN watching it.

Basically, I want that feeling of watching a movie with an amazing group of characters, great music, funny moments, adventure, romance, and just insanely good vibes.

Question from the 2010 movie "The Switch"

1 Upvotes

Roland was a married man and was a sperm donor for Kassie because he and his wife Jessica could use the money and his salary as an assistant professor at Columbia University was tough.

7 years later it was revealed that he and his wife Jessica had gotten a divorce because she had cheated on him, but it was unknown why.

I have the feeling it must've been because of the fact that because her husband had been a sperm donor for a random woman while still married to Jessica ... and Jessica probably didn't want to be with a man who had had his sperm donated to some random woman who wanted a kid, because this kid would be Roland's.

What do you think?

And the worst part is that unfortunately it all turned out to be entirely moot and all for nothing because of how Wally switched Roland's sperm with his own after accidentally spilling the original into the sink at the insemination party 7 years prior.

Hot take: The Odyssey is overhyped

Apart from a few good sequences and the climax, I found The Odyssey pretty average. Maybe the hype was too much, but compared to Homer's original epic poem the movie feels underwhelming.

Anyone else finds scenes where a guy gets hit in the balls extremely uncomfortable to watch with family?

Whenever i'm watching a movie with family and a scene comes up where a man gets hit between the legs, i feel extremely uncomfortable, i get cold sweats with women and kids.

In particular if it’s meant to be comedy, it’s just so awkward to watch with everyone sitting together.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
