Arnie holding Sully by his weak arm in Commando. And him ripping the hand dryer off the wall in True Lies.
I like how this thread is 60% Arnie.

Yeah, that makes sense. I suppose if they knew that he was a white supremacist and obvs can see his shaved head, they know he's a kid who actively hates them because of their race and that is enough motivation, regardless of Danny's intentions in that scene. I think maybe I was focusing too much on just that scene, not the whole context.
Edit: typo

Reply to Jackie Chan's last good movie? by Ebbemonster
Dragon Blade is not good by any means, but I really wish more people saw it for the madness of a Chinese-produced movie about Ancient Rome fighting Ancient China with John Cusack being terrible in the co-lead, Adrien Brody chewing the scenery as an insane Roman Emperor and a whole shit-ton of Australian extras.

Reply to Does Hollywood do "test balloon" movies to see how we react to actors before giving them a larger role? by rdtthoughtpolice
No, I don't think so. Movies are so expensive and difficult to make the idea that a studio would risk money with such a process is highly unlikely. What you're seeing though I believe is the result of type casting.

Because of Derek, Danny has been rolling with skinheads for a while. He is a known white supremacist and has shaved his head. So blowing smoke in the guys face was more than just standing up for a vulnerable person.

My boyfriend is hard of hearing and his experiences with CC devices is hit or miss. Often they aren’t charged, and die before the movie is over. Most theaters don’t test them to make sure the movie came with a caption file, is the projection system reading it and sending it to the transmitter, is the reader receiving it from the transmitter? If any part of this process fails - no captions.
Your best bet is to go to a smaller theater, ask to talk to the manager upfront, educate them about the devices and how they work, and build a relationship with them.

Batman v Superman is terrible, but the warehouse scene was great.

It was crazy that the only way to hear the Jon Davis version of the songs was to watch the movie or pirate. The actual soundtrack was just cover versions of the music from the movie.

Being hard of hearing isn’t just about volume. It’s also about clarity. Some HoH people can’t hear certain pitches, or they hear low tones so well that they can’t hear anything else… it’s really not enough to just use headphones.

Natural Born Killers, Robert Downey Jr and Tommy Lee Jones during the prison break scene are awesome

Reply to Does anyone thinks the pacing of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was a little off at the mid point? by jcgonzmo
I felt the same way but only because it was too much action for me and overall long. So after those action scenes kinda stopped I got back into it.

Reply to Movies without a main character? by Ok-Impress-2222
I’m gonna get so much hate for this in this sub I’m sure of it, but I think Avengers Endgame is a good example.
People will undoubtedly say that Robert Downey Jr is the star but I’d strongly disagree and argue that each character brings an equal amount of importance to the story and general direction of the movie.

Yup, these media properties weren’t predicting the future they were satirizing their present and problems unaddressed eventually progressed to the point of satire
