It sounds like Stoltz already had his strong opinions on the story and the character. I don't think it was lack of trying on the Bobs. They thought the MJF idea was already dead so I'm sure there were attempts at getting him to play along to their vision.
Also Stoltz has never alluded to being screwed over. He may have had hurt feelings by it or feel some type of way, but it sounds like he at least acknowledged fair play
Yes, that's it
Thanks!
This explanation is most reasonable.
However, it creates a brand new issue I would have with Butch..... if he's leaving the watch responsibility to Fabian because he doesn't know f he'll have time, why the he'll wouldn't he explain the watch to her beforehand? I suppose he admits his fault to an extent.
But goddam, if I had only one small sized possession I cared about while fleeing for my life, I would take the 90 seconds to explain it to the person I was entrusting it with lol
Throw Andy's window figurines around.
Andy worked very hard on those.
Not necessarily. They have control over certain genetic features, but people are still a product of their parents. There isn't really a "hot" gene that gets activated. Also consider, there are very attractive people all around us that aren't engineered.
Yeah, always noticed this. Their math isn't mathing. My theory is that Furlong's puberty hitting during filming T2 is kind of the root cause of all this. I think Furlong legit looked like he could be 10 when he was cast and starting filming T2. It's most apparent in some of the desert scenes where he looks really young; clearly some of the first scenes shot. But most of the film he definitely looks like a teen, even though we explicitly get age 10 in the police computer. I remember people used to complain that there's no way John Connor looked like a 10 year old, and everyone thought of him as more of a rebellious teen. So then come T3...everyone thinks of John as this rebellious teen, so IDK if they unintentionally wrote him as 13 instead of 10, or if was some sort of retcon. Which is a mistake as you pointed out when you start talking dates.
1. The movie sets up he has enough raw talent to be given a chance.
2. The movie sets up his repressed love and passion for the sport despite being in denial about it.
3. The movie sets up he has a legitimate way in as long as an old buddy pulls strings. He still has a reputation.
4. People are still playing professional sports in their 30s in real-life. Nowhere does it say he is doing this as a long term solution. The film does enough to show he still has that dream, and now he has the chance, opportunity, talent, and desire to live out his dream, no matter how short lived it may be. That's all we need as an audience.
5. This is a fictional story with fictional characters in a fictional universe, in which the movie is telling us in its fictional world, he really is that good to be considered. This has happened in real life. See Vince Paple.
Explain why not.
Yes.
Because of Bad News Bears. Everyone knew this was Bad News Bears at the time too. Doesn't really make it cliche because one film did it. Nobody cares it's not meant to be mind-blowing.
All other films you're probably thinking of came after this
