Yea the last full leading role movie I saw him in was Cop Out which he was famously a dick on set for. Which is a shame because the movie definitely suffered because of it, it had its issues but alot of them could have been saved by him just saying fuck it and shooting for the moon and having a good time. It's a shame he's so close-minded, he's a talented dude who could easily have a solid run on t.v. At the very least he would stand a much greater chance at doing something better than the straight to dvd stuff he's been doing for years.

I think Gibson and Willis are pretty similar in regards to the class of roles they were being cast in. Where they were generally cast as characters who were usually more everyday average types thrust into extreme circumstances. Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, Van Damme and Stallone were in kind generally cast in roles where they are mega-cops. Even in something in like Kindergarten Cop, Schwarzenegger has that opening scene in the nightclub. The funniest thing to me is how Steven Seagal clearly sees himself as belonging in the same class as Schwarzenegger, Stallone etc... when he is much more similar to Bruce Willis in terms of his physique even in the best of times, and equally questionable hairline.

I think he's a long time martial arts enthusiast. Combine that with reports that he's apparently kind of a dick in real life and it paints a picture of a dude who would really appreciate an opportunity to use it. Joan Cusack is wonderful in everything the only thing I resent about her was her selfishly absorbing all of the acting talent in the family. She's always had plenty to share and lord knows John is in need of it.

In regards to Bruce Willis. How fucking insane is it to think how non-existent his career would be if he was a young actor today trying to make it as an action star. The thought that someone who even at the peak of his career could best be described as having a somewhat fit dad body, and questionable hair line making it as a leading man today seems almost impossible.

Yea this movie wasn't great, the fact that its so closely adapted to almost be a shot for shot remake of the cartoon version doesn't do it any favors. The 2014 version directed by Christopher Gans with Vincent Cassell as the beast is alot more fun to watch in my opinion.

Yea I think my biggest issue with Cusack is that Better off Dead was a couple years before my time. I actually saw One Crazy Summer more than a handful of times and I think thats my favorite Cusack movie. And thats only in spite of him and definitely not because of him. Serendipity was the movie that really made me wonder just how in the hell he was considered such a go to romantic lead for as long as he was. High Fidelity just makes me angry to think about, the notion that someone as cool as Lisa Bonet is playing in the movie finding themselves attracted to Cusack's character is legit one of the biggest stretches of the imagination a movie has asked of me.

Hard to know which would be the more enjoyable movie for them to watch in honor of the late great Wilford Brimley, between this, Hard Target, and Cocoon there are plenty of solid options.

Out of all of those John Cusack has to be the weakest in the bunch. Cage and Travolta are both capable of turning in interesting performances in otherwise dull movies. Bruce Willis still has the ability to convey some level of charm or charisma even when he's in something he clearly doesnt give a shit about. John Cusack was in some movie where he played a contract killer or something with Thomas Jane, and it was midway through when I realized that John Cusack has never really been good in anything and it blew my mind that someone as boring as he is onscreen managed to have such a solid career for as long as he did.

"1. Why wasn't Hugh Jackman charged with murder at the end. Just because he was a hostage, which the police may not believe since he did not have a C4 vest and went to the coffee shop with Travolta, but that does not give him the right to commit murder. Is that the best course of action for him to get his daughter back, by killing criminals. Further we saw the rush of people and cops in the building the bus landed one. I speculate there is a a good chance Hugh Jackman took out at least one innocent bystander when the helicopter comes crashing down into the side of a building and/or on the street below." Given how felony murder charges have been used historically, the thought that Jackman wouldn't be charged in a scenario where like 100 plus people die most of which are police officers is absolutely mental. He would get like 10 life sentences at least.

They absolutely fucking have to do this movie at some point. "The infamous night vision sequence was actually a re-shot version of the scene. After realizing that they shot the original version of the scene to look too dark, filmmakers had to return and re-shoot the entire sequence, delaying the movie's release for six months. But due to the budget issues this scene couldn't be finished properly so it was decided to add green visual tint to the scene to make it look like it was night vision, even though it makes no sense for why would this scene would have that look." John Mctiernan had people fucking wiretapped over this movie.

They legit thought they had a hit on their hands, they really seemed to think they had the next Jurassic Park.

Tries to be a modern remake of Romeo and Juliet. Fails in almost every regard. Most hilarious thing about this movie though is even though Jet Li is supposed to be the Romeo in the movie and Aaliyah ostensibly his Juliet. Except that the studio was apparently uncomfortable having an asian actor in a romantic lead. So instead of them getting together in the end, they have a super awkward hug. Fuck this movie.

I was talking about this movie today with a friend and it also made me think about Beverly Hills Cop. When it was first written Stallone was the actor they had in mind and Axel's friend was his love interest. When they switched to Eddie Murphy, they changed the script for their relationship to remain platonic throughout. If you look at Eddie Murphy's filmography, it's nuts how that in none of them, at least that I can remember, he had a white romantic lead. Its just insane that until fairly recently studio execs were comfortable saying shit like " I just dont think American film goers would be comfortable with an asian actor as a romantic lead."

Its pretty crazy this movie managed to not only have its own videogame tie in, but a toy line as well. For less than $20 you can have your own Cyborg Sutherland action figure.

Yes please, I suggest they do a double header with either one of the Skateboard Kid movies.

This one would be a fun episode just on the history of the movie alone. So Crystal Pictures was or still is a studio created by agents who represent Jon Voight. Which also happened to create Baby Geniuses also starring Jon Voight. But the biggest trip about this movie is the length of time it sat in a can somewhere before getting released. This movie was made in 2006 and was released in 2014. So it was held back from release for the better part of a decade.

They have to do something from Martin Shorts early movies, there's so many great choices, Pure Luck, Clifford, Three Fugitives etc... This one does have the benefit of an awesome performance from Kurt Russell.

They need to do this one at some point, it's terribly written, has an insane plot and both leads fucking hated each other during filming. I've heard stories of romantic leads not liking each other on other films, but in most cases you can't tell because usually their commitment to giving a good performance supersedes their personal feelings towards the other. Not the case in this movie, and as a result the first half of this movie where they're supposed to not like each other due to plot reasons, is the most believable part of the entire film. And even when they're supposed to be falling in love they both continue to give off vibes that they still cannot stand the other person.

Have to bump this one again, it is an amazingly bizarre movie. It's incredible how many talented actors they got to sign on board to do this terrible movie.

This movie is a fucking trip. I'll never forget the first time I saw Willem Dafoe in that insane bobo Dick Cheney makeup. Also Chris Klein is a terrible actor, between this and Rollerball, I cannot believe none of his movies have been talked about yet. His audition for Mamma Mia, in which he references the awful singing he did in this movie as some kind of incentive to hire him in a musical is fucking legendary.

Watching Fateful Findings made me come to the startling realization that this movie is essentially what would happen if Neil Breen was given a $100 million dollar budget. The dinner scene where Anthony Hopkins has to eat cake samples is particularly cringey. I forgot this movie was a remake, the runtime of the original was 80 min. So when they decided to remake it, they added an additional hour and forty minutes. So its pretty clear how this movie ended up having pacing issues.

Was watching the Wire again recently and it made me think about this movie. It's the second time i've seen one of these cop movies that has portrayed boat patrol as a form of punishment. It really seems like a much more relaxing beat than what they were doing before.

Have to bump this. Jeff Bridges plays a character who loses his ability function as a human being when he gets horny.

I think Jason's thoughts alone on this movie could fill an entire podcast. The plot is essentially Jeff Bridges telling Barbra Streisand he'll marry her, but only if she keeps her gross vagina away from him. Its a pretty terrible movie. http://www.rottentom..._has_two_faces/
