Nobody 2 came out last week. I plan to see it tomorrow.
Mel Gibson’s HACKSAW RIDGE is a masterpiece in celebrating the courage of a man who rescued dozens of men in battle without taking up arms.
The film depicts the true story of the World War II experiences of Desmond Doss, an American combat medic in the United States Army who, as a Seventh-day Adventist, refused to carry or use weapons of any kind. He became the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, for saving an estimated 75 men during the Battle of Okinawa
Disney should look into making more films like this.
I've got a Black Mouth Cur. She's a wonderful dog, but very protective of her people and home. At the same time, she absolutely loves people. She'd be tough to shoot even if she did have rabies.
They need to revive the original adult-oriented Touchstone Pictures, which released:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Color of Money
Three Men and a Baby
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Armageddon
Signs
By the mid-2010s, Disney was no longer using the Touchstone label for producing its own mature films, and it effectively stopped its active production role by 2016.
After 2016, the brand continued to exist primarily as a distribution banner for films made by other studios, such as DreamWorks from 2011 to 2016.
Importantly, there should be no connection with the new Touchstone production team and *any* of the people who are part of the existing production team. (Who will be definitely trying to infect the new team.)
I’d like to make a film where Denzel Washington plays a bit part as a doorman. And Whitney Huston as a maid in a small role. Stereotyped as you like or no. They might even do it for the shear irony and hilarity of the concept.
Girl in gold boots.
Who should play his hooker girlfriend (played by Linda Evans in the original)? Sydney Sweeney?
Uh, no. Scientologist.
Good a choice as any.
How about the mustang hood?
Who would that be?
Maybe they could do a live action movie about a multi-billion dollar theme park that has a Tranny Godmother meet kids at the entrance and a bunch of jerkoffs run the company into the ground. Joe Blow and his friends by the theme park for pennies on the dollar, bulldoze everything and build the world’s largest Bass Pro Shop with an ATV track, figure 8 demolition derby course, and small arms indoor/outdoor gun ranges, some paintball courses, and jetskis on a manmade bass stocked lake. During all of this he meets some smokeshow libtard MBA princess who doesn’t listen to her father. Joe civilizes her and introduces her to Jesus, Beer, and Guns. She stops being a raging shrew. Joe makes an honest woman out of her and they live happily ever after. The princess’ father is proud to call Joe his son-in-law now that his daughter no longer a commie lunatic.
I’ll have to add Laserblast to that one.
Yep. Dirty Harry would be a blockbuster. Perfect for the Trump era.
Mayor: Drebin, I don’t want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That’s my policy.
Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That’s *my* policy.
Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of “Julius Caesar”, you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.
A Fistful of Dollars! Hang Em High! Deathwish 1, 2, 3, and 4. Platoon! 1917! Dunkirk! Godfather! Goodfellas! Donnie Brasco! So many choices!!
Top Gun meets Sidney Sweeney. She is the future for Hollywood.

I don’t think her looks are going to hold up very long. A couple of years at most. She doesn’t have the classic facial features which sustain beauty into late adulthood and beyond. Nothing against her, it’s just genetics.
/meow off
Produce movies or TV series based on the rest of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ books and stories that haven’t yet been produced, using ONLY talented and successful writers and directors ...
“South Moon Under” comes to mind ...
same goes for Sinclair Lewis
