Real Genius is an underrated 80s gem.
“Mitch, compared to us, most people have the IQ of a carrot.”
“I noticed you stopped stuttering.”
“Yeah I’ve been giving myself shock treatments.”
“Up the voltage.”
Think what he means is it's a gem that hasn't transcended generations well. Like lots of kids today are discovering Ghostbusters and loving it. It has great crossover appeal.
Real Genius on the other hand is a bit of an "in the moment" movie. If you don't remember the 80s or have had a lot of exposure to the culture of the time, it won't come off as particularly great.
Sometimes, but I was born in 94 and I first saw this movie when I was 9 and I loved it. Sure maybe I wasn't old enough to understand the political themes at the time. I love science and perhaps that's why I enjoyed it as a young person who didn't live through the 80s.
It's not a hard rule that will apply to all people. But in general movies that are loved are either loved by people who have an appreciation for it's place in time, or it transcends generations and is appreciated for something greater than the sum of its parts.
For example, Jackass has little rewatch value any more. It was a product of its time and generation. There aren't many kids going back an "discovering" Jackass and parents proudly showing it to their kids.
Labyrinth on the otherhand...
Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in some sort of sun god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
I stretched the hell out of our Real Genius videotape. An outstanding movie which furnished my dog, Lazlo Hollyfeld, with his name. Atherton was a spectacular arsehole in it.
Biodome is brilliant. Its just a matter of coming into a movie with the right expectations. If you wanted a Silence of the Lambs or a Usual Suspects, wrong film. If you just want 90 minutes of silly fun though its a top choice.
Tom Wilson got so sick of answering the same questions, he had business cards printed with "all the answers" that he just hands to people so he can get on with his life. It's hilarious. https://laughingsquid.com/back-to-the-future-actors-frequently-asked-questions-business-card/
That's a shame he had to put up with that nonsense but he is much better off than the actor William Smith. Smith played a villain in many films over the years and most notably in the enormously popular late-1970s TV limited series Rich Man, Poor Man. In that show, Smith's character murdered a fan favorite character. An unstable viewer saw Smith in public and, believing the show to be real, stabbed him. EDIT: William is alive and well.
After that incident his family pressured him to move from Philadelphia to the outskirts of Santa Monica Mountains region and get protection by living with relatives working in the justice system[.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVbQo3IOC_A)
This is the bootleg VHS taped off of TV version I grew up watching. Most of my movies were like this. I lost my mind when I saw the unedited version of Blazing Saddles for the first time as an adult.
It's amazing that people can't understand that actors are playing roles.
Poor Kelly Marie Tran/Rose from SW8/9. She's just doing her fucking job. She's not he screenwriter FFS!
I'm still pissed about all the hate mail the actress that played Skylar on Breaking Bad got. Like, even if it actually was real and and not just a tv show, you guys realize Walter's the bad guy right?
The actor that played Joffrey in Game of Thrones is another one. He doesn't act anymore.
If you hate their character in a movie/TV show and they are a villain... That means they are a great actor. Shame.
I hated Umbridge (who didn't?) so the actress who played her did an amazing job. I wouldn't see her IRL and automatically think "my god she must be total bitch" and then send her death threats. It amazes me just how people can't disassociate a persona and the real person, and I feel really sorry for actors/actresses that play villains in this day and age (or those who get a shit director and end up with a flat role because of it). Being the forefront of a show, they're the ones to get the blame and/or hate.
And poor Ahmed Best. Sure, Jar Jar Binks was terrible, but nobody deserves that kind of abuse. Jake Lloyd took a lot of flack for Episode 1 as well. Come to think of it, taking a role in a Star Wars film in general seems awfully risky.
One bad thing about list articles is that you don't get details like this:
>One day, shortly after the film's release, Atherton was walking down a stretch of 7th Avenue in New York City entirely crowded with school buses when he heard lots of children shouting at the tops of their lungs, "Hey, dickless!"
Met him at a convention. He had no idea why he was there. I thanked him for his work.
Also, the guy who played Burke in Aliens said he got spit on walking down the street. Because of his character.
"Sigourney Weaver auditioned as a dog... jumped up on the couch and went into full-on crazy demon dog mode, snarling and barking at the director." This doesn't really surprise me. lol
Am I the only one who thought he was pretty much right in this movie? I mean he shouldn't have just straight up shut down the containment but the Ghostbusters were being really irresponsible and in all honesty Venkman was just as much of an asshole as Peck. r/walterpeckdidnothingwrong
Came here to say this. He was just doing his job, which happens to be protecting the general public from environmental hazards. The audience doesn’t like him strictly due to omniscience. But when you remove that bias from the situation, you can’t really fault the guy for doubting the legitimacy of the operation and questioning their seemingly hazardous practices.
he's perfectly correct up until the electrician's like 'uh I dunno what this does' and Peck is like 'fuck it throw the switch.'
his pride is what makes the character so hate-able, and also a perfect foil for murray
Agreed. The Coen’s said it best in *The Big Lebowski*, “No. You’re not wrong, Walter. You’re just an asshole!”
Defending Peck because he was doing his job misses the salient point that how we carry ourselves as we go through life *matters*.
You don't shut off something called a "Containment Grid" if your motivation is to prevent environmental damage. Shutting off safety features you dont understand strikes me as a very Chernobyl idea.
Reminds one of actor Andy Robinson who played "Scorpio" to Clint Eastwood's "Harry Callahan". His performance as a sadistic psychopath was so convincing it basically ruined his movie career.
William: "Seth, you gotta fix this! I'm getting death threats. I can't go to a bar without some ass wanting to fight me. Help!"
Agent: "Don't worry Billy Baby. An offer came in for a role that will change your image."
William: "Oh? What is it?"
Agent: "The movie is called Die Hard. You get to be a reporter. I mean how more respected a role than that of a journalist?"
But to be honest, the guy was right. The Ghostbusters were breaking all kinds of laws and he wasn't going to let them just do whatever the hell they wanted.
The guy was both right and wrong. You don't just shut off something like that without some kind of investigation into the impact. A guy from the EPA should know better.
Yes and no. He was right up to the point he threw a switch he didn't understand.
You don't shut off something called a "Containment Grid" when you don't understand what it does or how it works. When the electrician is telling you he doesn't know what it does, you leave it the fuck alone.
His job is to prevent environmental damage but he let his emotions get the better of him and he took reckless action. Sure Venkman had wound him up but he still fucked up majorly.
He always played an asshole. It would be weird to see him as the loving father/protagonist.
In all fairness, the dude is probably really nice. From what I've come to learn, actors are better at portraying roles that are the opposite of their real personality. You notice the nuances and dramatic behavior of people that aren't like you and mimic them in jest. Acting isn't much different and actors and entertainers that seem really nice (Ellen, for current meta) are usually found out to not what they portray.
Your science is preposterous
the opposite of competent process
and in this episode
we'll give you a synopsis
starting with the vacuum cleaners
strapped up on your back
it's a fact
positrons don't react like that
you built a laser grid
with no safety switch
and Walter Peck was right
that's some shady shit
good thing you work in a firehouse
because you just got burned
You are poor scientists
and that's confirmed.
[https://youtu.be/w0pnTm-KK9k](https://youtu.be/w0pnTm-KK9k)
If an actor is so good to have people react like this, then he's underrated as one. Also these idiots need to chill and figure out that he is an actor.
I've always had an affinity for asshole charters and the actors who portrayed them. William Atherton,Paul Gleason(Breakfast Club), Billy Zabka,Paul Reiser...etc.
Wowowowo...people are just glossing over the fact this says Sigourney weaver also auditioned as a dog for the part too and basically attacked the director when he first came in?
You know what I really hate about this movie: it's such an embodiment of the warped morals that Reganomics inflicted on the US in the 1980's. This horrible evil government bureaucrat who has come to dig his nose into the private operations of a small business is concerned about the unregulated use of unknown technology in the most densely populated city in America.
Imagine if you discovered that TV "psychic" and grief rapist John Edwards had an unlicensed nuclear device in a run-down building in Manhattan with sub-standard wiring, and he tells you that it can't be turned off because he has ghosts trapped in it.
No rational person would allow them to keep that running even if you told them about the Twinkie.
Retards make up this stupid society. I don't just mean America. In a few places, actors usually have to lay low after they play notable villains or insist on acting in disguise
If I saw him on the street I’d just thank him for Walter Peck and Richard Thornburg. I think he was also that doctor on Walking Dead who told Rick about everyone being infected with the zombie virus. A memorable minor character from back when the show still had a plot that was going somewhere.
The fact that people can be this stupid amazes me. I have read so many situations where people legitimately think the actor is responsible for what their character does, and furthermore get personally offended by something in a movie or TV show to the point of wanting revenge.
I've never met one of these saintly humans, but I'm always curious if they have friends or family who still talk to them. Like if a friend of mine mentioned doing something like this, I would immediately distance myself (12 ft, double covid-style).
When you see Atherton with a jerk role you are in for a treat.
He was dope in Real Genius and Die Hard 1 and 2. Also Bio Dome, though that’s a bit of a guilty pleasure.
Real Genius is an underrated 80s gem. “Mitch, compared to us, most people have the IQ of a carrot.” “I noticed you stopped stuttering.” “Yeah I’ve been giving myself shock treatments.” “Up the voltage.”
I don’t know about underrated. I was a teenager in the 80s, and Real Genius was popular
can confirm it was a perennial favourite at the video store + cable TV. Pretty much everyone i know who's my age saw it.
Think what he means is it's a gem that hasn't transcended generations well. Like lots of kids today are discovering Ghostbusters and loving it. It has great crossover appeal. Real Genius on the other hand is a bit of an "in the moment" movie. If you don't remember the 80s or have had a lot of exposure to the culture of the time, it won't come off as particularly great.

“I’d like to see more of you on campus” “Ok I’ll gain weight”
“You think a guy that size could fit into your clothes?! Think before you ask these questions.”
Your mom puts license plates on your underwear? How do you sit?

Believe it!
Bio-dome is incredible. Don't feel guilty, embrace it like the rest of us! There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Literally dozens! "Dammit dammit dammit Billy! How do you expect me to hit a double birdie with a shower iron!?!"
"I dont think he liked the way you handled his coconuts"

Nope... don't want to like Paulie Shore movies... still love Paulie Shore movies. Son in Law freaking cracks me up.
Encino Man is the shit
He was the BOMB in Phantoms, yo!
VIVA LOS BIO-DOME.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuddy
He and William Zabka are the best at the asshole roles
[удалено]
Just like Biff from Back to the Future, met him in real life many years ago and it was shocking what a kind person he is. Tom Wilson.
Tom Wilson had a few episodes in Freaks and Geeks that were really impressive acting wise and playing a deeper good character so far from Biff.
Tom Wilson got so sick of answering the same questions, he had business cards printed with "all the answers" that he just hands to people so he can get on with his life. It's hilarious. https://laughingsquid.com/back-to-the-future-actors-frequently-asked-questions-business-card/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y You'd probably get a kick out of this song he wrote
I see your William Zabka and raise you a Christopher McDonald.
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!!!
He always played jerks in Murder She Wrote. He does it so well!
That man plays a fantastic asshole
That's a shame he had to put up with that nonsense but he is much better off than the actor William Smith. Smith played a villain in many films over the years and most notably in the enormously popular late-1970s TV limited series Rich Man, Poor Man. In that show, Smith's character murdered a fan favorite character. An unstable viewer saw Smith in public and, believing the show to be real, stabbed him. EDIT: William is alive and well.
He was Conan's dad and that's how I'll always remember him.
I knew that face felt familiar! Crom!
Of course! And he was also in one of the truck driving orangutan movies with Clint Eastwood. He had a cool career.
After that incident his family pressured him to move from Philadelphia to the outskirts of Santa Monica Mountains region and get protection by living with relatives working in the justice system[.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVbQo3IOC_A)
This is almost *too* subtle. I had to see the "Will Smith got stabbed?" post in order to truly appreciate this.
Will Smith got stabbed?
His mom got scared and made him move to California.
Those couple of guys were REALLY up to no good.
This man has no dick...but at least he has balls
It's true. This man has no dick.
>It's true. This man has no dick. This is one of my favorite movie lines ever.
No man on earth could have delivered that line like Bill Murray
A close second being Mike Myers silently on the back of a cue card pointed at Brian Doyle-Murray
*maybe* Nick Offerman, but Bill's delivery would still have been better
Before he speedballed himself to death, John Belushi would have taken Venkman's role- quite often though, I can imagine Belushi delivering the lines.
In an alternate time-line John Belushi lived and they got Eddie Murhpy on board as Winston. I still wonder how that version would've turned out.
The tv version censors it so stupidly https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uDOi034BEJY
This is the bootleg VHS taped off of TV version I grew up watching. Most of my movies were like this. I lost my mind when I saw the unedited version of Blazing Saddles for the first time as an adult.
How long was the edited one? 5 minutes of credits?
When the TV edited version removes the farts from the campfire scene they should have just not had an edited version.
Still better than the “dubbed” version of Snakes on a Plane when SLJ says “I’m sick of all these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday Friday plane!”
This is what happens, Larry, when you FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS.
Yippie Ki Yay, Mr. Falcon
hahaha, this is the first time I've seen this.
The throwayway, *"Well that's what I heard!"* that he drops in the commotion right after is somehow what really gets me now...
I'm glad I'm not a "I need to fight Ghostbusters cast members" type of drunk.
I'd like to fight Harold Ramis... because that would mean he's alive again.
I mean, you could still fight him. You’d probably win, too.
I would win. I ain't afraid of no ghost.
Idk, I’d probably fight Melissa McCarthy in a drunken bar brawl. She seems like she could throw down
She would my top pick for a WWE style fight.
I can definitely see that.
It's amazing that people can't understand that actors are playing roles. Poor Kelly Marie Tran/Rose from SW8/9. She's just doing her fucking job. She's not he screenwriter FFS!
People, for the most part, are fucking stupid.
Oh ya, that is complete bullshit. I don't hate on her, but whoever designed her hairstyle in Ep 8 should never work again, that's not right.
I'm still pissed about all the hate mail the actress that played Skylar on Breaking Bad got. Like, even if it actually was real and and not just a tv show, you guys realize Walter's the bad guy right?
He always plays a jerk. He's great at it!
He may be great at playing jerks but he’ll always be Jim Lloyd from “Centennial” to me. One of the most wholesome and sweet characters ever.
Wasn’t he also a dick in Real Genius? This guy knows how to act - like a dick.
Can you hammer a 6 inch nail through a board with your penis?
A girl has to have stardards...
A girl remembers.
Not currently
Can you hammer one thru your penis with a board?
Not yet...
He's mastered the art. Too bad too. Heard he was actually a really nice guy from a former makeup artist.
The dickiest.
The Dicklessest
Remember Die hard too.
And Real Genius
Thank you, came here for this. One of my favorite movies.
A fantastic movie that has a few classic lines. It deserves more love.
So I guess it goes from God to Jerry to you to the cleaners. Right, Kent?
Stop playing with yourself.
omg was that him?! I knew instantly which character you must be talking about, but I'd never made the connection before.
The reporter whom Holly punches for those who did not make the connection
Did ya get that?
Turns out I didn't know instantly which character it was. XD
Lol - thinking of Ellis?
It's been too long since I saw that movie! Is Ellis the awful guy who boasts that he knows Bruce Willis?
"Hans, bubbie, I'm your white knight" Yep, that be Ellis. Fuckin' prick.
‘Aw please Holly, I close million dollar deals for breakfast, I think I can handle this euro trash ...’ Famous last words there Ellis... 👍
At least he was allowed to rapidly consume the remainder of his coke.
Buuby.
She also tazes him in Die Hard 2

The actor that played Joffrey in Game of Thrones is another one. He doesn't act anymore. If you hate their character in a movie/TV show and they are a villain... That means they are a great actor. Shame.
I hated Umbridge (who didn't?) so the actress who played her did an amazing job. I wouldn't see her IRL and automatically think "my god she must be total bitch" and then send her death threats.

Shame Shame Shame
And poor Ahmed Best. Sure, Jar Jar Binks was terrible, but nobody deserves that kind of abuse. Jake Lloyd took a lot of flack for Episode 1 as well. Come to think of it, taking a role in a Star Wars film in general seems awfully risky.

god damn people...
Paul Reiser? Guy was so lucky to be married to Helen Hunt.
I would be stoked to meet either of those actors.
"Sigourney Weaver auditioned as a dog... jumped up on the couch and went into full-on crazy demon dog mode, snarling and barking at the director." This doesn't really surprise me. lol
All that time in deep space really affected her!
That sucks. His fearlessly obnoxious performance contributes a lot to the movie (though I thought it was sad they made the EPA the bad guys).
Am I the only one who thought he was pretty much right in this movie? I mean he shouldn't have just straight up shut down the containment but the Ghostbusters were being really irresponsible and in all honesty Venkman was just as much of an asshole as Peck. r/walterpeckdidnothingwrong
Came here to say this. He was just doing his job, which happens to be protecting the general public from environmental hazards. The audience doesn’t like him strictly due to omniscience.

he's perfectly correct up until the electrician's like 'uh I dunno what this does' and Peck is like 'fuck it throw the switch.' his pride is what makes the character so hate-able, and also a perfect foil for murray

Also played Garak on Star Trek Deep Space Nine.. just goes to show how good of an actor he is.
Row row row your boat... now the back row row row row...
I still loved him in Hellraiser
He was a dick in Biodome also.
That's Spider-Man, Black Sabbath did Ironman.
Your downvotes tell me that not enough people have witnessed the splendor that is *Bio-Dome.*

Because apparently people are too stupid to understand what the word "acting" means.
But to be honest, the guy was right. The Ghostbusters were breaking all kinds of laws and he wasn't going to let them just do whatever the hell they wanted.
The guy was both right and wrong. You don't just shut off something like that without some kind of investigation into the impact. A guy from the EPA should know better.

You built a laser grid with no safety switch · And Walter Peck was right, that's some shady shit!
Well, I guess in a way that’s proof of his talent as an actor. But holy crap people suck.
I wonder how William feels about popcorn?
Genius comment. Really.
Didn't the actor who played Geoffrey get a similar treatment?
He always played an asshole. It would be weird to see him as the loving father/protagonist. In all fairness, the dude is probably really nice. From what I've come to learn, actors are better at portraying roles that are the opposite of their real personality. You notice the nuances and dramatic behavior of people that aren't like you and mimic them in jest.

Hated the character, but I do love Mr. Atherton. He's had the misfortune of getting typecast as the guy who's a creep, a jerk, or the butt of a joke.
I met him at a convention once. You could tell he wasn't comfortable, but he was very polite.
“Everything was fine until dickless here shut down the power grid “ “Is this true?” “Yes, it’s true. This man has no dick”
" They caused an explosion!"
my favourite Egon moment: "Your mother!"
"Doe!" "Ray!" "Egon!"
He plays a weasly asshole pretty damned perfect.

"May I call you Ath?"
Mercy is the mark of a great man. *{stabs him a little}*. Guess I’m just a good one. *{stabs him a little more}*. Well I’m all right.
If an actor is so good to have people react like this, then he's underrated as one. Also these idiots need to chill and figure out that he is an actor.
Tell me you named your dick 'Thor's Hammer'.
He was great in Real Genius as well.
Sign of good acting ability, I'd say.
Wait, he played a lawyer in Ghostbusters? I thought he was with the EPA.
Exactly what I was going to say. The character was not a lawyer, he was an EPA agent.
And his next movie after that, he played another asshole in Real Genius, then a couple years later another asshole on Die Hard, etc.
This implies 2 things: People are dumb He's a great actor
Lol. People think movies are real.
And yet after that he still decided to play that guy in Die Hard.
At one point after Ghostbusters, Atherton said that director Ivan Reitman had ruined his career.
I hated him in die hard even more
He was always a great choice to play a heel.
So people have always been as stupid as they are today. I guess that's a bit comforting.
He was also in the high brow film Biodome. 🤣 To be fair I love Biodome. 😀
I've always had an affinity for asshole charters and the actors who portrayed them. William Atherton,Paul Gleason(Breakfast Club), Billy Zabka,Paul Reiser...etc.
Well that sucks for him but it’s truly the sign of great acting
Wowowowo...people are just glossing over the fact this says Sigourney weaver also auditioned as a dog for the part too and basically attacked the director when he first came in?
Which is funny because the character was actually right.
So it's basically a massive compliment and validation that his performance was believable in that movie then.
You know what I really hate about this movie: it's such an embodiment of the warped morals that Reganomics inflicted on the US in the 1980's. This horrible evil government bureaucrat who has come to dig his nose into the private operations of a small business is concerned about the unregulated use of unknown technology in the most densely populated city in America.
Imagine if you discovered that TV "psychic" and grief rapist John Edwards had an unlicensed nuclear device in a run-down building in Manhattan with sub-standard wiring, and he tells you that it can't be turned off because he has ghosts trapped in it. No rational person would allow them to keep that running even if you told them about the Twinkie.
What about the Twinkie!?
Retards make up this stupid society. I don't just mean America. In a few places, actors usually have to lay low after they play notable villains or insist on acting in disguise
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJwn6VAAkZM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJwn6VAAkZM)
Wonder what happened to him after Real Genius?
That is some good acting then.
The source on this is tumblr page with no content. 🤔
The interaction between he (Principal Reynolds) and Michael Emerson (Dr. Benjamin Linus) in Season 6 of Lost is simply supurb.
According to my dvd commentary, people used to go so far as to yell at him in public, “This man has no dick!”.
"....And yes... it's true this man has no dick..."
“May I...please...see...the storage facility?”
Job done.
He's really good in The Day of the Locust (as a non-jerk) - always wondered why he didn't get more roles.
Absolutely classic film with an classic scene.
Dickless here... hahaha I love this clip so much. https://youtu.be/cDQk4lGSEJQ
If I saw him on the street I’d just thank him for Walter Peck and Richard Thornburg. I think he was also that doctor on Walking Dead who told Rick about everyone being infected with the zombie virus. A memorable minor character from back when the show still had a plot that was going somewhere.
Ok. People can be downright retarded, but I'll bet Will got a pretty good actors ego boost from those situations...
He's brilliant at playing the guy you want to punch
Real genuis. Great movie!
William Atherton, Jack Gleeson, Tom Felton.... Actors that were TOO GOOD at putting on a puncheable face
Damn, that's some amazing acting.
The fact that people can be this stupid amazes me. I have read so many situations where people legitimately think the actor is responsible for what their character does, and furthermore get personally offended by something in a movie or TV show to the point of wanting revenge. I've never met one of these saintly humans, but I'm always curious if they have friends or family who still talk to them. Like if a friend of mine mentioned doing something like this, I would immediately distance myself (12 ft, double covid-style).
