Speaking of triangles...

Micah & I have watched plenty of people raid tombs, but we've never actually watched the Tomb Raider movies! After going through the National Treasure movies and hours upon hours of various Librarians outings, we're pretty sure we'll feel right at home.

Angelina Jolie stars as the titular (heh) Lara Croft in the original, as well as its sequel The Cradle of Life, and passes the baton to Alicia Vikander for the woke* reboot. Featuring The Man of a Thousand Races himself Jon Voight, one of the James Bonds, and less tombs than you'd expect, these movies take us on a thrilling journey through the changing times of video game adaptations!

*less focus on boobs 🙄

“as soon as palantir film company fades to black” in 2 years😭😭

I saw the Alicia vikander one in theaters and idk if that was simply when i learned how nice it is to go to the movies alone in the middle of a business day, but i remember thinking it was alright. I also think Alicia vikander is still pretty hot so idk if we can trust my impartial assessment. Never saw these as a kid and didn't play the games, all i knew was angelina jolie was "the lady with the big lips everyone says is hot" lmao. I was literally 8, so i had no opinion on that

Ryan

This was the time when Jolie was dating Billy Bob Thornton, and they had this bizarre thing of wearing vials of each other's blood on necklaces in all public appearances, and always went out of their way to point it out. I've always kind of wondered what happened to those after they broke up.

“i’ve been singing a lot” micah subtlety trying to audition for the showmen

Colin

When I found out Samus was a girl, my friends and I spent hours in Super Smash Bros shocking the character with Pickachu's lightning and trying to pause at the exact frame when it electrocuted Samus and lit up her silhouette

HoeMalone

I swear Eric been on fire lately with these movie picks. SOOOOO hyped for this.

Alfie Harrison

screamussy

I absolutely love the video games especially the recent trilogy from a decade ago, and I absolutely hate this fucking movie! I am SO excited for this! Can’t wait to watch this next time I’m drunk 😭

Simon

Not sure if it's something I should be stoked or bummed about that my flavor of neurodivergence is watching Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) at 7:30 AM on a Saturday.

Morgan Peters

No spoilers! I only saw the 2018 one, and I thought it was pretty fun; it’s fun seeing how both the Jolie one and that newer one are both pulling from the games, in that the old ass games had insane shit like fighting statues and absurd goals, whereas the newer games are more about the survival aspect.

Austin Arminio

Looking it up: Amongst the candidates to play Lara Croft included Christina Applegate, Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Elizabeth Hurley, Milla Jovovich, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, Denise Richards, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Liv Tyler and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

So like some other people, I remember thinking the 2018 one was actually pretty good (was less bored then this one at least). I dont remember any "sexism" jokes in the movie, but I do know there was a "controversy" cause Alicia Vikander's boobs weren't DD

Abby Mason

What the hell was that entire film

Tyler Tennis

The ending was actually bonkers 🗿

Matty1003

Coming here right after the Stranger Things doc track and oh my god you are so right that Micah looks like the third Duffer brother 😂😂

Lynisa Ruiz

From what I remember from the OG games the plot of the first one had something to do with Atlantis. The second game, started in Venice, Italy and there are monks involved

Lacie Matlock

I dont care what anyone says, this movie was on repeat in my bedroom. my stepdad used to play lara croft on ps2 and id watch him play it all but the time, but this movie will always be a 5/5 for me. Argue with ya mama.

Erik Hoepfner

Micah shouting “Voit!!” upon seeing the framed photo killed me cause I saw it too. It was like he saw a ghost haha
