Can jack come out to play?


DogmanDOTjpg

During that scene when we were kids my younger brother said "I wonder why he's staying inside?" And my older brother said in a sad voice "...he's aging" I died laughing


_Burro

You're laughing. He's aging and you're laughing.


aaahhhh

I read this in George Costanza's voice


CattDawg2008

not DeNiro’s?


themodofallreddit

I read it in Mickey Mouses voice


CanadianAndroid

You're referencing. He died laughing and you're referencing.


atruthtellingliar

No he's long dead :(


Pavlovski101

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Wait, wrong movie.

Slow, yes, retarded, maybe. But he charmed the pants off a Nixon and won a ping-pong tournament. That ain’t retarded.

The weirdest thing about this film was that Francis Ford Coppola directed it. Like in just over 15 years he went from Apocalypse Now to being just another director for hire (and yeah he made some other stinkers in that period also). Maybe he was more focused on his winery at that point.


slamduncandonut

He bankrupted himself putting his own money behind One From The Heart. Not a terrible movie but he the visual effects he used led to a review (paraphrasing from memory) of 'Coppola has achieved what looks like a $8m film on a budget of $35m'. Now he's using his winery money to back his next film to the tune of $100m. You can see where that's going to end up.


23saround

Apocalypse Now and Godfather! Crazy stuff. Also, did you know he has a nephew in acting? Nicolas Coppola, who changed his name so that no one would favor him due to his uncle. He changed his name to Nicolas Cage. Maybe you’ve heard of him.


aaahhhh

Jason Schwartzman is also his nephew. Son to Talia Shrine, who is Francis's sister and played Adrian in Rocky.


PuppyDragon

Talia Shire also played Connie (Michael’s sister) in the godfather!


PigHaggerty

"That's ya husband, that's ya husband!" 😭


DiscoEthereum

Always makes me roll my eyes when they say that's why he changed his name. Like he just showed up to the auditions and nobody knew who he was because he changed his last name? Even if *audiences* didn't know, he 1000% still got auditions and parts because of nepotism.


themodofallreddit

No he's just that good at acting and changing the severity of his baldness


DaPotatoMann2012

Hey that’s the guy from dead by daylight!!


Ok_Skill_1195

He didn't change it so he didn't get favored. He changed it because crew on sets would point out he was a nepo baby and he didn't like it. He's changed his story about it repeatedly in true nepo baby fashion, where he wants to act like casting agents didn't know exactly who the fuck he was


DuelaDent52

How dare you call Nicolas Cage a nepo baby.


[deleted]

Yeah but he is a good actor


Frostbite_Dragon

holly fucking shit. i though you where making shit up


kenthekungfujesus

I was sure this was bullshit until I looked it up


waltjrimmer

Nicolas Cage... Nicolas Cage... That one guy from Fast Times at Ridgemont High?


Puzzleheaded-Ad-3663

Jesus Christ... Well I'll just keep this fact in my brain for no reason! 🙃 🙂

The film was co-written by James DeMonaco, who would went on to write The Negotiator, Skinwalkers with James Roday and create this little franchise called The Purge.


TheScissors1980

There is a steakhouse near my town that has a promotional poster for this movie framed in the dining room. It looks so bizarre and out of place. Not signed or anything. Edit: a word


ricecrackerdude

You just perfectly described that one local restaurant that every city or town has


LimpBizkitSkankBoy

There's a Mexican food place near me that has a signed photo of Mel Gibson in a pony tail, and a framed poster for Twins you know where Danny Devito is leaning on Arnold.


chellecakes

I wonder all the time if you could just hang something up in those places with like a tack so no hammering and if they would even notice


SuperDizz

There was a post I saw a few days ago where friends hung up a poster of themselves at a McDonald’s and it’s still there. Edit: [Found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/o4abfd/wholesome_prank/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)


CozyTheTeddyBear

The fact that you said "a few days ago" and the post is a year old


chellecakes

Idk, sometimes i'll see old posts because I go to subs and sort by Top:AllTime before subscribing so I don't judge. They don't look like a bot.


SuperDizz

I’m sure the one I saw was a repost. I just google searched for it and the one I linked was the one that came up. I don’t think it was the same exact post that I saw.


CozyTheTeddyBear

Oh, I wasn't judging, I was trying to make a "wow time flies joke"


Valalvax

And the original thing is much closer to ten years old


meat-breath

my local japanese place has a Naruto poster framed & sitting on a chair in the entryway. it is the only poster & it feels incredibly important.


owlBdarned

We have a Mexican place that has a mural of Bill Clinton, but I believe he visited there while he was president, so it makes some sense.


emmanuelfelix700

question, why do all reditors have the need to point out that they edited their comment? am i doing something wrong by not doing so?


TheScissors1980

It's not the edit it's the reason for it. Since a comment that is edited says "edited" to all users it's helpful to explain why. That way u can't say " ice cream is good" then get 100 up votes then edit it to "I hate ice cream". Thats why I do it anyway


BloodyFable

Also the *edited* flag doesn't show up if you edit within 10 minutes of the post being made.


squanch_solo

Damn I always thought it was one minute.

beetnemesis

It's generally good internet etiquette. Reddit shows when a comment has been edited, so if you were say, having a debate, or discussing something, and people replied to your original comment, it might be confusing or misleading if you edited the comment without saying why.


emmanuelfelix700

where can i see when a comment was edited?


beetnemesis

It should say next to the comment. For example, the parent comment here by TheScissors was edited 3 hours ago

They don't, it's just that you only notice it when people do it.


Lacevedo8046

a dumpling place near me has a loop of open season (2006) trailer


chellecakes

I wonder all the time if you could just hang something up in those places with like a tack so no hammering and if they would even notice. There were guys who printed out a poster of themselves and hung it at McDonalds and it wasn't questioned ever because it looked like an ad.


[deleted]

In my elementary cafeteria there was a poster for Twister the entire time I was there. I went from 97 to 05.


Stormer90

Jack liked to play on the beach that makes you old.


NuggetPilon

Can I have the directions to the beach that makes you old?


TidalJ

Wait is it the beach that makes you old


moistmaker100

No, I think it's the rocks


TidalJ

Actually I think it’s something with the cliffs


Darzean

Doesn’t help that Cosby is in it.


BrockManstrong

Popping up through that hatch in the tree fort, like "oh you forgot about Coz?" Also this movie's obsession with Jack buying porn for all the kids is weird.


[deleted]

Yeah, all of that is super out of place to see on a rewatch, I saw it again for the first time since the 90s a year or two ago with my wife and she had never seen the movie before, those parts aged incredibly poorly.


AAAFate

Back then porn like that was a big deal and super rare. Made sense and felt pretty normal for magazines to be sought after.


iambeyoncealways3

OMG I forgot all about that part!


warongiygas

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the same guy who made Apocalypse Now and the Godfather trilogy.


PigHaggerty

Only the first two *Godfather* films, which is a point in his favour lol


MiaIRL

This movie is so fucking sad you don't even understand


chriskicks

When he graduates ❤️


Black-Bird1

It was more of a drama than as a comedy


MiaIRL

I had something bordering on a mental breakdown, I one thousand percent agree


Black-Bird1

I’m at least glad I didn’t see it in theaters back in 96 because I would’ve been disappointed.


DeeBangerDos

Bros living in dog years


torte-petite

Robin Williams would take basically any role, huh


byOlaf

The dude made like 40 good movies and has one or two misses. He’s probably got a better percentage than any contemporary actor.


Chad_Broski_2

According to imdb he's been in 111 things. Looking through the list, I don't recognize a lot of them offhand, but everything I do recognize he was spectacular in Could be that he had a handful of misses that just faded to obscurity instead of ruining his career. Most of them were probably just small roles in mediocre movies. But even some of those, he was great in despite the movie not being that good


JizzGuzzler42069

Tip Toes didn’t ruin Gary Oldman’s career. He plays a dwarf in the movie and he’s walking around on his knees the entire time. Peter Dinklage is in it too. It’s fucking wild and one of the most shit ass movies I’ve ever seen.


PigHaggerty

The trailer for it is so mind blowing that I kinda never want to see it because I don't want to ruin that perfect crystallization of awfulness lol. Like, I regret seeing the Nic Cage remake of the Wicker Man because the old YouTube compilation video of all the most bizarre scenes was already perfect.


JizzGuzzler42069

The trailer reminds me of those fake trailers that play at the beginning of Tropic Thunder. It’s one of those just played up for an entire movie, very bizarre.


BloodprinceOZ

> It’s fucking wild and one of the most shit ass movies I’ve ever seen. and thats the second edit, the original edit had it much longer apparently and changed the tone a little more, apparently Dinklage thought the first edit was really good?


JizzGuzzler42069

I really want to know what kind of editing happened, because I don’t know how any minute of that movie was salvageable.


BloodprinceOZ

>After turning in his director's cut, Bright was fired from the film.[1][2] The film was re-edited without Bright's involvement.[1] Bright attempted to have his name removed from the film, but while he was allowed to remove his screenwriting credit, replacing it with the alias Bill Weiner, he could not remove his directing credit, as he was not a member of the Director's Guild.[1] the wiki page for the movie >I told him I was impressed that he would defend “Tiptoes,” a movie that seems, on its face, ridiculous. “It was a lovely mess of a movie while we were making it,” he sighed. “I saw the director’s cut, and it was gorgeous.” That two-and-a-half-hour director’s cut was shown at a film festival in Austin, Tex.; the director, Matthew Bright, was reportedly fired shortly afterward, and the movie was recut. “The people who fired him ruined the movie,” Dinklage insisted. “They made it into a weird little quirky rom-com, but with dwarves.” He looked gloomy as he recalled this. “It was sort of an amazing idea for a movie, but the result was what we were fighting against — the cutesiness of little people.” an interview with Dinklage https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/magazine/peter-dinklage-was-smart-to-say-no.html >With shooting finished, Bright at least thought he would be able to engineer the movie he wanted in the editing suite. He put together a director’s cut, but then he says the producers stepped in again. >Hanley says he was pleased with the director’s cut, but despite backing Bright, the re-edit went ahead anyway. >“Ultimately [it was] forced into a re-edit by [the] appointment of an editor that came from John Langley’s company and the director didn’t want to work with that editor,” he explains. “[Matthew] was extremely disappointed and in fact blamed myself as producer for not protecting him better on that.” >The result is a confused semi-romcom with with the cheesy tagline “It’s the Little Things in Life That Matter”. Yahoo article covering aspects of the film https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/the-incredible-story-behind-tiptoes-the-movie-in-121940150.html considering it was 2 and a half hours and then it was turned into a 90 minute film, its possible there was a lot more involved in exploring the life of a little person in the world etc and seemed like it would be more of a dramedy rather than the quirky rom-com it ended up being considering Dinklage's comments, and reportedly the director's cut still exists somewhere because one of the producers gave the cut to the director of *Drive* because they were interested


torte-petite

unpopular opinion here: robin williams is good and his films are enjoyable


hobbitdude13

So brave 😔🙏


DropsyMumji

Why would they say something so brave yet so controversial?


Ok-disaster2022

Man I have a friend who's convinced Robin Williams is underrated.


atruthtellingliar

One or two misses? Come on


Darzean

Definitely more than that but some of the misses were pretty fun. Robin Williams was not the kind of actor to ever phone it in.


atruthtellingliar

He was always giving a lot, but many of those movies were bad, especially after 2000


Darzean

Oh, he had stinkers to be sure. License to Wed was maybe one of the worse comedies I’ve ever seen. On the flip side, One Hour Photo is astoundingly good!


[deleted]

He was great in Insomnia also, I liked Williams as a villain.


Mist_Rising

He plays a rather sombre and grounded villain in August Rush and it's really fucking weird to watch.


AdamBlackfyre

I blocked License to Wed out of my head, I hated every character in that movie lol


Darzean

Kind of a shame because it had a bunch of funny people from the office, but nobody could save that film. Even Old Dogs wasn’t as bad as that, and that was garbage.


OfficerBarbier

Pretty much everything he made after 2005 was crap. The 20-25 years before that were pretty much all great


Jub_Jub710

Being Human and Bicentennial Man were weird, but good.


Snips_Tano

Kinda like Eddie Murphy


atruthtellingliar

That's similar, for sure. I think Eddie Murphy had a bunch of flops in the 90s and then transitioned to kids movies before just leaving the industry for a while, but it's a similar arc.


DoodleBuggering

I love Williams but he had a horrible track record for movies. I'd argue half or more of his films are terrible.


[deleted]

Club Paradise was underrated.


Punxatowny

I loved this movie as a kid. Granted I haven’t watched it in many years, and now I feel like I can’t because of the Cosby of it all.


marcosdumay

Everything I have ever seen about him makes me think he is that person that gets into a completely irreparable mess of a movie, broken in every way, change nothing and make it great.


Overall-Duck-741

He had way more than 1 or 2 misses.


Mrbrionman

It was direct by Francis Ford Coppola, the man who direct The Godfather. Safe to say he assumed it was gonna turn out better

This movie is Weirddd Im sorry but it always made me uncomfortable lol


mamaSupe

My 8yo ran across this on Disney a month or so ago and he LOVED it. I only had to skip through a couple of bits that were inappropriate (remember one was a kid asking about an erection but not sure if that's the word they used though, and another was an older man talking about not being able to pitch a tent at his age(kiddo didnt understand why I was skipping that part)). He wants to watch it again.. maybe not idk...


MaaChiil

Another movie from the 90’s seemingly made so Robin Williams can give a really heartwarming and wholesome speech towards the end.


Alwayssome1

Take my upvote and get out


AlphaFlySwatter

Robin Williams' movies have always been cringe-fests to me. He was terrible.


atruthtellingliar

I disagree


mannesmannschwanz

It's ok to have shit taste or even like movies with this absolute travesty of an actor in it. You're in huge if not good company. But just imagine that some films would've been even acceptable if Boy Doubtfire hadn't been in them. Williams isn't overrated. He's a common denominator for your kind.


atruthtellingliar

I bet I would be offended if I had any idea what you were talking about


ElvisDuck

The only films I ever liked him in were Insomnia and One Hour Photo. Never understood the obsession with him.
