I haven't seen the movie in years, but IIRC his parents didn't want him to volunteer for duty, and he stopped talking to them. That's why he was writing to his grandmother—he probably had a good relationship with her growing up.
This is a movie chat site where we discuss movies and point out things we like and don't like. Didn't know I couldn't have a simple criticism with a fellow viewer without calling you and the rest of the fun police for approval.
When I saw it, I was fine with it all, but with passing time, I agree there is zero chance some random would get chosen. They didn't even vet him all that well—especially since the Pope secretly made him a Cardinal. They threw out some background info that absolutely zero people in the Vatican knew about. He gave one inspiring speech, and boom, he's in.
Fun movie. I always wondered if someone else instead of an older Arnold would have been better casting and made it a bigger hit. It looks great, the script worked well and had some twists, but I just felt Arnold was wrong for it. I dunno...
I found out about this from the movie and am now breezing through the seasons. So... if you've not heard there is a movie and it's incredible.
As a huge Captain America fan, I don't like any other version than Steve Rogers. And while I like Mackie, I don't think he can carry a movie. To top it off, I thought Falcon and Winter Solider was terrible.
If it gets some great word of mouth I might catch it in a theater, but at this point I'll wait for it to go on streaming.
I do remember a show called "The Other Half" with Danny Bonaduce that tried to be a male version of this. I think it was canceled after a year or so.
Seems to me if the Joker 1 movie was about Joker's origin and beginnings, the sequel should be about how he became the Clown Prince of Crime. Show him working his way into Gotham's seedy underbelly and terrorizing criminals and civilians alike.
I don't think that was the intent of Phillips' first movie though. Seems like he wanted to make Joker into Travis Bickle Jr. and leave it at that.
The one with the staircase... third picture in the link.
here's the scene I'm talking about specifically:

I'm watching the movie now and I'm pretty sure it's the interiors of the Osborne penthouse. I've recently been to Graystone Mansion and peeked inside and the staircase and dark dark wood are spot on to the scene where Harry is talking to his dad who is standing at the top of the stairs.
I always thought they didn't do enough showing other 00 agents. It was cool when they showed one die in Octopussy and, of course, Alex in Goldeneye.
Something like a new Bond movie where a current Bond is hunting an old 00 that turned traitor and has to use another retired 00 that was close to the traitor when they worked for MI6 to help stop him.
I didn't say God exists. You said God doesn't exist. You started the thread.
Then when people argued with you you said the burden of proof is on them, but I'm pointing out you're the accuser so the burden of proof is on you as the accuser.
You used the term 'burden of proof'' which by definition is a legal term. If you accused me of theft, the burden of proof would be on you to prove I stole, correct? You are the one who is accusing. You are saying there is no god, so the burden of proof is on you to prove it.
You're the accuser, so shouldn't the burden of proof be on you that God does not exist?
Honestly would love to see these with some of the original actors:
American Ninja 4
Flash Gordon 2
Masters of the Universe 3
It's not that extreme... that would have at least been interesting! If you want, go to the last episode and just watch the second half to get some answers (and non-answers really).
Hey, I don't know if you're still watching this, but I just finished it. Watch at your own risk, but the finale was, in my opinion, one of the worst things I've ever endured.
I had never heard of it. I happened to watch Maltese Falcon the other day and did a quick search for other Sam Spade movies and this popped up. I would never have heard of it otherwise.
If you can make it to the end of episode 1 you'll see something that might keep you interested. It was pretty shocking to me.
No question... I'm just answering how she got the role. One of the best parts of the first two movies was the chemistry between her and Brody. So glad they didn't go the book route and have her and Hooper have an affair.
