The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

Jacob Lantom

I live in Wisconsin. We get a lot of snow

Brad Lowry

Cops and Anxious Person, George, that's the Death Sentence: Google Elijah McClain...

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Love this movie. Madeleine Stowe is also in another of my favorite movies, The Last of the Mohicans.

Mike FromOz

I live in Perth, Western Australia. We've had a heatwave of temps over the last few weeks, peaking at around 42°C. We are in absolutely no threat of snow ever being a problem here, unless the world shifts dramatically and Antarctica rises up to create a new massive ice sheet the likes of which we have never seen before. The only place in Western Australia it really snows at is Bluff Knoll, and for that to happen with any kind of decent snowfall, it has to be really really really cold. I wear shorts in winter most of the time. It never dips low enough in Perth to be too much of a problem. The heat though...

PIG

I really love this movie! Can't wait to see what they think.

Same! Do you know there is also a TV series called 12 Monkeys? It's loosely based on the film but goes its own way after a while. It's the best time travel series I've ever watched. It was on SyFy so it flew below the radar, but it's so incredibly well written, with characters that stay with you forever.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

"Danger Will Robinson!" Is from a 60s tv show called Lost In Space, it was basically the Swiss Family Robinson in space and Will was the son who would always get into trouble and had a robot friend who would say that. Also, that doctor with the weird clicking lip thing, that actor used to play the Riddler in the old Batman show. Also one of the scientists is The Greek from The Wire, sorry, my autism comes out full force when I'm watching one of my favorite movies, and this is peak Terry Gilliam, love this movie so much!

Graeme McCutcheon

You want to watch the 2015 12 Monkeys TV show too! Same initial premise, but becomes its own thing.

Odd Thomas

Danger Will Robinson is from Lost in Space

Monica Alarcon

Please do more Terry Gilliam. At least Time Bandits, Brasil (but not the US theatrical version), the Adventure of Baron Munchausen and The Fisher King...

Big.Bad.Mr.Mustard

Predestination (2014)..........a complete mindfuck. :)

Tay Schumaker

One of my favorite unhinged Brad Pitt performances and line readings “Do you realize where he thinks he comes from?”

MikeBdrx

I actually had the snow thing happen a few weeks ago. I live basically right outside New Orleans and we never get snow. However that freak snow storm a few weeks ago left 11” of snow in my yard. The whole state basically shut down for 3 days. We don’t have plows or salt for the roads.

beecroft adams

The scientist went back to get an original sample of the virus to create a cure. The plan was always to restore the future not change the past. The world ended without bruce willis but his involvement found the guy responsible. He succeeded his mission. The psychiatrist feels familar with james cole's new look is the same reason cole sees brad pitt in his dream. Their experiences are influencing their memories because of mental distrsss. Not everything that happened was because of time travel. Sometimes people see conections that only exist in their head.

Rev
>>164017163

I loved the series. I want to elaborate, but can't think of anything to say, as I feel like what I say would either not do it justice or be a spoiler. So, yeah, I loved the series.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Oh wow, I never thought of that, Simone kind of hit on it, what if Railly was the lady scientist at the end? She's in "insurance".

WayneC

Terry Gilliam was one of the Monty Python troupe, and was one of the directors for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Odd Thomas

For more Brad Pitt: The Tree of Life For more Madeleine Stowe: Stakeout

Tenwyn

Bruce Willis's mission wasn't to stop the virus, it was to get information as to where the virus originated so that they could send a scientist back (insurance lady) to study that pure virus sample so they could create a cure in the future, which is what happened, so Bruce Willis succeded in his mission. At least that's how I see it, perhaps I'm wrong?

REDR58
>>164025184

My sister lives in North Carolina and got snow in the same storm. Their schools were shut down for 2-3 days and her roads stayed unplowed. We had school shutdowns here in the Philadelphia area for just a day and everything cleared up much sooner.

REDR58
>>164019001

That is Frank Gorshin and he appeared in many, many TV shows and movies over a nearly 50-year career. He was also an accomplished impressionist.

Mike FromOz

The move they are watching in the theatre after they get new clothes is "Vertigo" by Alfred Hitchcock, and it's probably his greatest ever movie. Absolutely 100% a film you should watch. The flapping birds after they put on disguises and Bruce Willis wearing a wig is "The Birds", which Simone got.

Maarten Martens
>>164027586

Exactly, they needed the virus in its pure form, which the red haired guy has. So the scientist saying she's in insurance is both a play on the fact everybody has to "follow the rules" as Cole says, and to insure the future of humanity.

silverarrow06
>>164026978

No, I don't think she is. If she was the old scientist lady, they would already know the origin of the virus and wouldn't have to send back Bruce Willis to gather information she already had...🤔🙂

Opti_Frog
>>164024612

I love Predestination. Totally underwatched and underappreciated. Also: Timecrimes, Primer and Coherence.

Mike FromOz
>>164027586

Exactly. They can't send someone back to stop it happening because it has already happened. The only thing they can do is get a sample of the pure virus itself to study so they can make a vaccine or cure for it in the future. None of the past can be changed, it's going to happen, the only thing they can do is get a sample for them in their present time to study to make the cure. I love it. Another movie about determinism. That's why it's my favourite time travel movie. If you traveled from the future to the past and met yourself, you still wouldn't be changing the past because you would have always done that. Think about time not being a straight line but a block of existence, where things are already set from past to future. The thing you think now as the present is just one of those moments, which means that both the past and the future exist at the same time as the present as well. Confusing, I know, but I think the quantum maths will prove it all out, lol.

Opti_Frog

The debate about "I'm in insurance" rages on. 😅

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
>>164026978

I would agree but George kind of hit that point about how somehow they're in a time loop and it might not matter what they do, it's just unavoidable destiny, because that's we get for being a species who torture monkeys for "science" lol. That's what makes this movie so interesting, it's meant to be a mind bender.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
>>164026978

And if you think about, to me it's like that moment in End Game were Dr. Strange tells Tony "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen". And I think they got it wrong again, because he already released it in Philadelphia, and even as he's talking to her he's already coughing. Don't know, just a theory of mine, she knows how Cole failed before but she still picks him as a "volunteer" because he was so close. But then she shows up in the plane and, Idk, shanks him American Me style lol, but still too late, they're still bad at time travel.

Spacedone

There's an argument that Bruce Willis's character is still inadvertently the cause of the virus. He first meets Stowe in 1990 when she's just a psychologist in a mental hospital. He tells her his apocalyptic story about a virus wiping out 5 billion people. Jump forward to when we next see her years later and she's now promoting a book she wrote about the psychological history of apocalyptic predictions and Cassandra syndrome, presumably because meeting Bruce sparked an interest. The lab guy follows her career and her work, he also probably hears stuff from Brad Pitt's dad about what his son has been inspired to do because of Bruce. If Bruce had never told his story to Stowe and Pitt, if she hadn't written and presumably published stuff based on the idea then maybe lab guy never gets the idea to kill the world?

pedantech

Consider tossing Legends of the Fall on a poll. See one of the movies that made Brad Pitt a big name actor, released in the same year as Interview with the Vampire. Speaking of Montana, we get a good amount of snow, depending on the area. Most people swap to winter tires, sometimes studded winter tires. It's a huge state with not very many people, so you can't always expect the roads to be well plowed after a snow storm.

Tenn Seven

The scientist on the plane is the same age because she went back in time. Cole explains it earlier in the movie: once he or someone else figures out where and when a pure form of the virus can be obtained for study one of the scientists will go back to obtain it so they can study it and figure out how to return to the surface.

Rupert Purcat

I watched this from a rental store in the late 90's after the vampire movie and thought Brad Pitt would be crap. This movie made me a fan and I have flipped people off the same way ever since. And, I am not a pathetically ineffectual and pusillanimous pretend friend to animals.

PIG
>>164017163

I’m checking out the series then. Thank you!

PIG
>>164026978

Just because it’s time loop doesn’t mean she hasn’t always been on the plane as the scientist. She was there when he was eight. She was there when he died. Nothing can be changed. He succeeded in sending the correct message during the release of the virus and she has always been on the plane, but the one on the plane is from the FUTURE of the same character you meet in the middle of the movie. It’s just her at a later date when they can finally break down the message. But yeah, it can’t be changed. She can only tag along with the person who released the original virus and get it back to the lab in a point beyond the movie. …whew. I’m exhausted.

Jeffrey Conway

Someone probably has said this already but watch Brazil. That movie makes this movie look tame.

Tay Schumaker
>>164025412

Yes this. The plan was never to stop it, it was to get a pure sample to put a stop to it in the future, so they could return to the surface. The scientist sitting down next to him on the plane was her going back to get the sample. Willis’s character won

Vellu

For more life in mental institution, I'd suggest a 1975 masterpiece "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It has many of your favourites before they became old.

Maiki

Pony tail guy is David Morse, you've also seen him in Contact as Jodie Fosters dad and in The Green Mile. Another pretty good one with him is The Negotiator (1998), also starring Sam L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey.

E. D.

"I need a weak Bruce Willis".. watch Death Becomes Her ps: all Terry Gilliam movies are unique and please watch Brazil

Grandalf

Madeleine Stowe is also great in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, which I will continue to pimp on this forum because it really needs to be seen on this channel. Mrs. Stowe is actually one of the most talented and beautiful actresses Iremember from the 90s.

Mike FromOz

As much as people hate on it, I love "Death Becomes Her". I can watch it any time. "Yes! No! Oh damn!"

E. D.
>>164040330

Who hates on it? Don’t listen to them, Death Becomes Her is peak dark comedy, that movie is perfect, everybody working on that flick did a great job, in front and behind the camera

D. T. Nelson

Terry Gilliam (Monty Python member) is known for making some weird films. You saw Fear and Loathing Las Vegas—not one of his best. This excellent sci-fi film is the one most people think of when Terry Gilliam is mentioned (This or The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasas because that was the movie Heath Ledger died while filming). His best movie (IMO) is The Fisher King. You should definitely check that one out. In your post-film discussion, you guys seem to forget what Cole said. The past was never meant to be changed. They never planned to stop the guy from spreading the virus. The scientists in the "present" (future) needed the information to get the virus and then find a cure so they could return to the surface. In essense, Cole DID succeed. He discovered where the virus came from and delivered that information. "Danger will Robinson" comes from the TV show Lost in Space.

Theo Bracco

The "song" in the background you like so much is "Suite Punta del Este" by Astor Piazzola.

droodly

Gonna echo "Death Becomes Her (1992)" as a suggestion a for non-typical Bruce Willis. It's odd, but very fun. Also "Hudson Hawk (1991)". Weird, but great!

Ludovic Ligot

Great reaction, guys ! I was so happy to rewatch this one. 😎 "Twelve Monkeys" was inspired by "La Jetée", a french short movie directed in 1962 by Chris Marker. You really should watch it (just for yourselves), because it's very interesting - and even considered as an important movie ! 😎 Here is a link with english subtitles : https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8x33rc

Simone's Coconut Squire

More Terry Gilliam movies you need to do: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, and the Zero Theorem.

Opti_Frog
>>164040330

Death Becomes Her is probably my favourite Zemeckis movie after BTTF. It is so funny, witty and smart.

Christian Rennie

Wow what a great movie and reaction! This was fun and all the 90s references along with the movie references that you both missed. All the Hitchcock movies and Simone missing movie references but also getting "i see dead people" really shows the missing movies on the channel. Moreover, with the "kid trapped in the well" trope, I thought that George would get the reference to The Simpsons episode, then, I remembered George saying he didn't see the early seasons. But that episode is pretty great and some of the first references of characteristics for some of the characters. Back in the 90s, yes, News really was where everything was shown. Especially local news repeating kidnapping info once an hour to flood everyone's eyes with peoples' images in order to help Police efforts. We saw everything on tv news instead of today's social media. From OJ, to Rodney King, to Desert Storm, and yes, even Baby Jessica trapped in the pipe. We watched TV all the time and that is where you got your info. Seeing the news repeatedly talking about the missing Psychologist is totally accurate. For local affiliates that was the norm. This happened in my town when Polly Klaas was kidnapped. I was in high school and her image is burned into my memory for all time because of it on TV news constantly. It is astounding to me all the progression of disseminating information to the public has changed throughout my lifetime. My Mom used to babysit Kevin Collin in SF before he was kidnapped and his face is also burned into my brain because for 10 years after he was taken my Dad still put up flyers on his car in the hopes someone would know something.

People hate on it? That's news to me. I always thought it was fun, funny, and very interesting to boot.

djKENTO

I think you’d both love Legends of the Fall. It’s a big romantic historical epic about 3 sons during World War I era Montana. The cast is absolutely stacked with Anthony Hopkins playing the father. A truly breathtaking film. I think this might be Bruce Willis’s best performance. The man is at the top of his game here. It’s 100% acting. No snarky comedy or action to fall back on. He deserved an Oscar nom for this IMO. There’s one more Bruce Willis time travel movie that REALLY deserves a watch… LOOPER. Please put that in a poll.

windyWin

While I enjoy the directing, writing and cinematography, it's really Brad Pitts acting that I love in this film and why I need to watch this reaction.

Primer would be a good one.

Simone's Coconut Squire
>>164046895

I think this must be a generational thing, because I know a lot of folks who will point to Brazil and Time Bandits as their knee-jerk Gilliam.

Simone's Coconut Squire

Mercedes Ruehl 100% deserved her Oscar for standing out while sharing the screen with Jeff Bridges’ and Robin Williams’ incredible energies.

Andrew Roach
>>164033528

Interesting argument, of course the flip side is that she always had that interest and still would have wrote her book irrelevant of meeting Cole.

Simone's Coconut Squire
>>164020905

The documentary “Lost in La Mancha” is amazing too if you’re a Gilliam fan. Not directed by him but about a failed directorial attempt, but is a fascinating look into him and his process.

Andrew Roach

Yes, Predestination is great with perhaps the single most wild time concept ever. If I were to say it it would blow your mind. So much for my theory this movie was a sequel to 12 Angry Men that took place on a chimp planet.

REDR58

This is one of my favorite movies as much of it is filmed in and around Philadelphia. The opening scenes where James emerges from underground are right at the foot of Philadelphia City Hall which is the world's largest masonry building (no steel frame was used in its construction). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6IBbmU_hW0 When James enters the ruins of the large building with the Christmas decorations, he is inside the former Wanamaker's Department Store (now a Macy's) which houses the largest functional pipe organ in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker_Organ George, you noted that the asylum looked like a 19th century institution, that's because it is! The scenes in the asylum were filmed at the real Eastern State Penitentiary, in Philadelphia, which opened in 1829 and was in operation as a prison from 1829 to 1977 and it is currently a very famous tourist destination. The building take sup and entire city block. Much of the facility was largely kept in a state of "preserved ruin" since it was shut down but has since been repaired and stabilized to some degree. Al Capone was an inmate there in 1929 and his rather luxuriantly-appointed cell has been restored to look how it did when he was there. www.easternstate.org The "bat child" or "bat boy" on the tabloid the guard is reading is a well known photo: https://weeklyworldnews.com/mutants/183465/bat-boy-30th-anniversary/ Madeline Stowe is not British. She was born in California. Some people in the US pronounce "advertisement" as she does. It's a regional thing. I hear it used both ways around here in Pennsylvanian, but mostly "adverTIZEment." When James is hiding under the car and drops his gun before entering the estate of the Goines family, you can see that the car has a Pennsylvania license plate. Cars in Pennsylvania only have rear license plates, so the car was probably locally sourced (in Baltimore, where that property was located) and I suppose a set director didn't realize the car shouldn't have front plates. We are a one plate state in PA! Any time I see a "Pennsylvania" car in a movie or TV series with front plates I know it most likely wasn't filmed in PA. Like in the opening Scene of World War Z which is set in Philadelphia (but filmed in Ireland), many of the cars have front plates and this is wrong! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8ui9l0krZk The TV reporters were real WCAU/Channel 10/CBS Affiliate reporters in Philadelphia the time the movie was made, Janet Zappala and Arthur Fennell. I remember them very well from TV when I was growing up. David Morse has lived in Philadelphia since 1994. The state in front of the zoo is called "The Dying Lioness" by Franz Alexander Friedrich Wilhelm Wolff (1816 - 1887) and it is in front of the real Philadelphia Zoo (America's First Zoo, which opened in 1874). https://www.philadelphiazoo.org/ https://www.associationforpublicart.org/artwork/the-dying-lioness/ You can briefly see the same statue at the end of the "Split" movie, also set at The Philadelphia Zoo, just before the Bruce Willis cameo in the diner after Anna Taylor-Joy's character is released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6vBFByRZDo As an aside, all the elephants that were formerly at the Philadelphia Zoo were relocated to The Elephant Sanctuary in 2006. It's funny how Kathryn tell James that "all airports look the same" as the airport scenes were actually filmed at the former Reading Terminal Train Station in which the large space everyone is walking around in used to house trains. It was converted to The Pennsylvania Convention Center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Terminal During the scene where the various animals are walking around, you can see the top of the "Rocky Steps" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the entrance doors just behind, but there is not really a clear view of the overall space where Rocky actually climbs. https://philamuseum.org/ Anyway, great reaction! Now watch "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington!

Jay Davis

I live atop a steep hill (essentially a mountainside) in NE West Virginia at the end of an unmaintained dirt road. The trick is to take your crappy old 4x4 truck and go as fast as you can and then invent new curse words if you do get stuck. Works every season. Speaking of driving (insert obligatory plug for Drive (2011) here)

Monica Alarcon
>>164020905

hehe, I know, I've seen everything Gilliam has done, including commercials, shorts and stuff ... When the actual movie was released it was kind of a disapointment.. I think the documentary is better.

D. T. Nelson
>>164046895

Time Bandits (1981) and Brazil (1985) were the first movies he directed after Monty Python (if you don't count the obscure Jabberwocky, which most people don't), so they might be the go-to films for his early cult followers. I was somewhat bored by both of those movies (my wife hated Brazil with a white hot passion). However, his mainstream success really came with Fisher King (1991) and 12 Monkeys (1995) (most people also dismissed 1988s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen). He has a very distinctive filmmaking style with lots of odd camera angles and heavy use of fisheye lenses that can be off-putting to some veiwers, but with those early 90s films he really found a way to make his style fit the storytelling.

Ludovic Ligot
>>164072090

A great one to be totally perplexed / confused... 😅 "Upstream Colour" (by the same director) is even more amazing !

punterjoe

12 Monkeys may be my all time favorite movie. The plot is quite intricate and convoluted, yet it stands up to repeated viewings. It actually begs for repeated viewing. As Cole says while watching Vertigo, the movie never changes but it's different every viewing because we are different. BTW did you notice the "Mad Monk" in Philly was the guy in the woodcut in Katherine'd lecture/slideshow? This film is full of little nuggets lake this. As I said, this movie begs for repeated views. Thanks for watching.

ln_wanderbooks

Well I live in Japan and these last 2 weeks have been crazy with snow, some parts in the north had 120cm in 12 hours!!! Most of the country is covered, even the southernmost areas had snow, except where I live T_T It's so frustrating because I love snow but I can't even go to an area that has it because most trains are disrupted. Here we just had non-stop crazy wind that makes us freeze to death but thats it XD

SpankTheMonk

I believe viruses need to incubate in a host as they are typically missing replication chemistry. They don’t “live” long outside a suitable host or environment. So the guy at the scanner and the virologist are patients zero. The virologist will probably incubate the virus for at least 24 hours before becoming infectious. I think even Ebola takes 48 hours to infect - symptoms start to appear. Madeline Stowe’s thoughts seem to be hinting at a time loop. I think the scientists in the future mentioned dimensions of reality. So this sequence time loop for her keeps happening and maybe imprinting. And also could be an influence from the original short film this is based on. Other Terry Gillian films would be great! 🍻

Tyler Foster

I know others have mentioned it, but if you think back to the part where they establish that the future cannot be changed, they also explain that when they identify the pure virus, they will send one of the scientists through time to study it in its pure form in order to develop a vaccine. Thus, the woman appearing on the plane means that James did successfully complete the mission. There are two movies playing in the theater while the characters are there. The first, with James Stewart, is Vertigo. Once you see the movie, you'll understand why Gilliam chose to have that film playing in terms of its indirect relevance to what's happening at the time in this film. Later, they show a clip from The Birds. You probably know from the Fear and Loathing video, but director Terry Gilliam was one of the members of Monty Python, and he directed all of the Python movies' animated sequences. If you loved the sci-fi stylings of this, you should definitely check out his masterpiece, Brazil (1985). In addition to being his greatest movie, it was also a landmark David and Goliath Hollywood story. The studio wanted to cut the film from over two hours to closer to 90 minutes, completely undercutting the film's thematic message and Gilliam's artistic vision. In protest, he showed up to a speaking gig at UCLA that he had booked before the battle and showed "a visual aide" from the film, which turned out to be his director's cut in its entirety, and he invited Los Angeles film critics. They named it the best film of the year, and he subsequently took out a full-page ad in Variety calling out the head of the studio. Ultimately, they relented and his original version was released into theaters. The full version of the movie (there are three cuts -- the director's cut, the international theatrical cut, and the butchered 90-minute cut) runs 143 minutes. If you thought this was good (which it is), then Brazil will probably blow your mind. In addition to Brazil, for another great Bruce Willis time travel movie, check out Looper (2012), one of the previous films by Knives Out director Rian Johnson.

As you can tell I love talking about whenever Pennsylvania and particularly Philadelphia shows up in movies!

Jesse Coombs

Looks like you guys should watch Vertigo. My favorite Hitchcock.

Jacob King

Great reaction, awesome movie. I’ve seen this so many times. There isn’t a way to read the film as if he were mad but everything he sees in the future has a counterpoint in the past so maybe he is a little mad. My favourite bit of the reaction was Simone dismissing a correct theory about Kathryn being in the memory as not making sense, yeah, nah, it’s not that kind of movie. The film that inspired 12 Monkeys is a black and white French existentialist art film made almost entirely of still photographs. It’s called La Jetée and it’s on YouTube and it’s well worth watching. It’s playing with the concept of subjective time and the future already written. The reason Kathryn recognises James is because she’s remembering something that hasn’t happened yet. It’s a nod to the original. Time is a flat circle. The conversation in the Vertigo scene is making a similar point. The other big inspiration is a short story called the Screwfly Solution by Alice Sheldon. How long after you stopped recording did you realise the scientist was on the plane to finish the mission? Brazil is probably next on your Gilliam list though I personally prefer The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Predestination (2014) is another excellent time travel movie. For a sad and gentle Bruce Willis I’d recommend Moonrise Kingdom (because it’s awesome) and The Kid (it’s pretty good). Legends of the Fall is an amazing movie.

Jesse Coombs

You don't think they stopped it? "Insurance".

I’m in Melbourne, we had snow once when I was very little but it melted almost immediately. Snow in the mountains is enough to make me realise I’m happy not living in the northern hemisphere.

Gary Fixler

I think they were surprised when the the guy in the hotel called James "Jack", but that's just something men called each other when they were annoyed in cities 😆 Like "Hey, Jack, I'm walking here!" or "Beat it/get lost, Jack!" Maybe it was short for jackass.

tullius cicero

Love this movie, its been awhile. I never noticed the scientist on the plane and googled it.

tullius cicero
>>164099462

google says that when she says "im in insurance" it means that she is insuring that the guy succeeds in spreading the virus so they can remain in power in the future, and cure it in the future, not stop the past. IDK!

Gary Fixler

The scientist lady absolutely could look that good in the future. I've met women in their 70s who look like they're in their 50s. My mom is often confused for someone 20 years younger.

Stephanie Bedworth

If you want to watch another Terry Gilliam movie, then you should definitely react to The Fisher King. It's easily my favorite of his. Incredible cast and a really, really good movie that seems to have been kind of forgotten about although I'm happy to see it get mentioned in a few of the comments here.

China Andronicus

He definitely did see Brad Pitt in his dream that one time, for the same reason his therapist believed that he saw her. She said it had never been her before, that it was only her now that he had met her. That's what happened with Brad Pitt. They met, he was bonkers, Bruce Willis' mind filled him in the place of the antagonist.

Martin Roca

I'm sorry, i'm going to say this with a lot of respect, but it's super annoying trying to watch a movie with Simone talking over dialogue and screaming constantly, I had to mute the reaction several times because i can't concentrate on what the movie is saying. Maybe it's just me, but the main focus should be the movie, and talk/give opinions when there are no dialogues going on. Hope you don't take it in the wrong way.

Tyler Foster
>>164290787

I mean, if you're trying to watch the movie, just watch the edited version instead of the full-length?

ScottishSammo

Hudson Hawk is a great Bruce Willis movie too, back in his comedy days. It's a bit wacky but it shows a different side to him

REDR58
>>164290787

The problem is, they can't know when there is not going to be dialogue and they usually seem to watch with subtitles on so they may not be missing as much as you think.

I would recommend they watch at least a few episodes of "Moonlighting" to see where Willis really got his start!

She's a time traveler. She's in "insurance," because Cole got the information to them. If you accept the rules of the movie (time can't be changed) she goes back to get a pure sample of the virus. She can't stop it in the past, but right there on that plane, she can get the information she needs and return to the present to begin working on a cure.

Idk about meek but Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Stanley Stucci, Morgan Freeman and Sir Ben Kingsley; what do they all have in common? They're all terrified of Bruce Willis in Lucky Number Slevin 🤣⚾

"Danger, Will Robinson" is from Lost in Space

Stories about Bat Child were a staple of Weekly World News throughout the 90s.

At one point in the movie James explains the plan: They want to send a scientist back to analyze the original virus. At the end you see the scientist in the plane, which means she was send back to 1996 and will now analyze the virus. ;)

Die hard is great, and John McClane is such a fun character. In fact, I've read that the die hard scene in which Bruce Willis is pulling glass from his feet was what made Terry Gilliam want to work with him. He brought more to Die Hard than most actors would have. But 12 Monkeys gave him much more to work with as an actor, and I expect was far more challenging for him, and he really rose to meet it.

Are you guys not watching the runner up films on the following weekends anymore? I was hoping for Pitch Black on the 15-16th of Feb?

This was fun, given some of it was set in Baltimore it was fun to see a mini Wire reunion. At the beginning in the police station you see the actor who played Valchek (he does not have any lines). The Guy in the institution who tells James he is from another planet is the actor who plays Counselman Odell Watkins, and the actor who plays the Greek is one of the scientists.
