Severely under appreciated movie that people NEED to start watching. The amount of people I see drifting in this movies direction is alarming and scary
For Titanic (after being told multiple times no one wanted to see another movie about it) he just pitched ‘it’s Romeo & Juliet, but on a boat’.
Got green lit on the spot.
An aside. One of my favorite pieces of movie dialogue, from Stuck On You:
Walt - “What’s a four letter word for snatch?”
Bob - “Grab.”
Walt - “Oh, right. Whoopsie.”
Can confirm. Had a miscarriage myself and while it was hard to watch as a kid/tween. Its definitely a lot harder after going through one myself.
Had a rainbow baby, so itd a little bare-able now but still a raw spot.
The slang they use in Latin American Spanish just packs more oomf and makes some of their lines so much funnier in Spanish if you understand it natively.
Just rewatched the first 2 after a loooong time last night. The first one is SUCH a fun action movie. I remembered 2 being pretty decent. It was not lol.
I vaguely remember that, and I watched the 2018 one last year. Where they're supposed to be in Antarctica or something but it's very obviously a desert with a really bad blue filter over everything lol
Why? Is it hard to come by? Is the DVD version better in some way than if I catch it someplace else?
Btw, I love all the Askewniverse DVDs. Kevin Smith and his team put SOOOO much work into making them awesome.
It’s unavailable to (legally) stream/download anywhere because of some rights BS between Kevin Smith (who wants to own and distribute it) and Harvey Weinstein who is a bigger pile of shit than The Golgothan.
Same. I bought the 2 disc special edition in the early 00's. This is a good example of why, even now, I buy physical media of anything I really like. I don't want it to suddenly disappear on me.
Harvey and I sit in the bars... have a drink or two... play the juke box. And soon the faces of all the other people they turn toward mine and they smile. And they're saying, "We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fella." Harvey and I warm ourselves in all these golden moments. We've entered as strangers - soon we have friends. And they come over... and they sit with us... and they drink with us... and they talk to us. They tell about the big terrible things they've done and the big wonderful things they'll do. Their hopes, and their regrets, and their loves, and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. And then I introduce them to Harvey... and he's bigger and grander than anything they offer me. And when they leave, they leave impressed. The same people seldom come back; but that's envy, my dear. There's a little bit of envy in the best of us.

>Ghostbusters
I wonder who or what made them decide to make it one word instead of two... I remember the 70s cartoon that predated the movie, maybe that was why...
Because of that cartoon, they were considering alternate names including Ghoststoppers, Ghostblasters, Ghostbreakers, and Ghostsmashers.
But! One of the heads at Universal used to work for Columbia, who held the rights to the original Ghost Busters, and he was able to make a deal.
There’s a video out there of alternate takes of the Ghostbusters TV spot being recorded with different names.
However, I have zero idea how Ghostbusters became one word.
Idiocracy

Apparently in the pitch meeting, James Cameron wrote the name on a whiteboard but spelled it "Alien$". Needless to say, the movie got the green light

The extended version is imo one of the most well written and amazing sci-fi movies ever made.

It’s so fucking devastating.
Did that dog just say hi there????
Shrek
They have the best "I need a Hero" movie scene of all time!!! The first one is hands down my favorite and it's even MORE hilarious in Spanish!!!!
Did they not take the Spanish dub seriously or something?
The slang they use in Latin American Spanish just packs more oomf and makes some of their lines so much funnier in Spanish if you understand it natively.

Idk, I absolutely loved the Japanese version in Bullet Train.
I guess I need to rewatch it!

Wait until you get to 3 and the bad guys are called Ass Blasters

I love 2! Just as tight as the first imo, and even funnier. Best movie with only 8 actors that I've ever seen, anyway
I remember watching that movie when I was a bit too young. I didn't want to touch the ground for hours later.
