  1. I remember years ago Keaton said in an interview he'd like to revisit this character some day, so it makes sense he's not phoning it in at least.

  2.  @nerofl89  Fox sabotaged it by changing the time slot and running episodes out of order. Whoever was in charge of the network must've really hated that show.

  18. Normie parents will still take their kids to see this. They don't pay attention to reviews and 'ratios', all they know is there is a new Disney poster on the theater wall and their kids won't shut up.

  19.  @whippinsaw  I find your spelling errors offensive. Now, tell us more about the origin of "snowflake" as an insult, since it is your new favorite word.

  20.  @skiphouston7392  Rogue One was just dark enough, I think. Any darker and it gets to be too much for Star Wars. I say this as someone who saw the very first Star Wars film as a little kid in 1977 and have had enough of all this excessive darkness shit. Everybody dies at the end of Rogue One, that's dark enough for me. I admit I'm curious though.

  21.  @frazzeldazzel5445  Well to be fair, other than Orlok all the characters in this film are German but had British (or American faking) accented English, and the fictional town of Wisborg could just as well have been some fictional English town. I liked the movie, just saying. Ironically, the 1921 silent version has all German actors, but you don't get to hear them speak.

  22. Drill Instructor School is one of the hardest schools in the Marine Corps, with a high washout rate. They are very professional and everything they do with the recruits has a purpose. They are also among the fittest men I have ever seen; they have to be in better shape than the recruits.

  27. Kind of like Good Morning Vietnam, which is a about a radio DJ in a war zone. I mean, I hate Robin WIlliams, but it was an entertaining film I admit.

  29. Duel is a good early Spielberg film, with Dennis Weaver. You will never look at a tanker semi truck the same way again.

  30.  @coyoteone6197  When I was in NCO school they used the scene where Doc J and 8 Ball get hit to illustrate how Cowboy made leadership mistakes with his squad, and how Animal Mother demonstrated initiative in leading the squad to try and rescue his buddies. When Animal Mother charged with his M-60, and entire classroom broke out in barks.

  31. Up to now, the only thing I knew about Ryan Reynolds is that he made some movies I liked. If any of this is true than I guess he just another rotten Hollywood person.

  32. Also, it's the only Vietnam War film I know where it's all urban combat instead of jungle. The Battle of Hue City is infamous in Marine Corps lore.

  35. 1. As soon as I heard they were making a Mad Max film without Max, I decided they were feeding us another woke sandwich and decided I don't want a bite. Maybe it's not woke, but I've been trained to assume it probably is. 2. I don't even know when new movies are being released anymore, because I don't pay attention to ads and frankly don't care much. So I didn't even know this was out.

  36.  @magtafcmdr8621  The squad bay in the movie looked just like the Weapons Battalion squad bays at The Island, with the red paint and all.

  37. From what I heard, Zeigler hasn't kept her proverbial mouth shut, making an anti-Israel woke statement online to spite her ever-hotter Israeli costar.

  38. Sure, it was a dumb thing to say, but it's not like I was going to waste my time on this movie anyway.

  39. Whenever I see actors acting like Kinski or Brando, being complete assholes to the cast and crew, it makes me wonder how they managed to not cross the wrong crewman on the wrong day and get the absolute beating of their life at least once. All it takes is to catch that one cameraman or carpenter who is having a bad week to begin with and just decides he isn't getting paid enough to deal with Kinski's crap.

  40. Gotta love how we got the John McClane version of "Go way now!" And yes, you can never go wrong with watching Die Hard one more time. Here's wishing the best for Bruce Willis in his hard times.

  43. This movie is both a great Lovecraftian story and also a great remake of DIsney's The Black Hole.

  45. R. Lee Ermey's performance in this film and his subsequent film and TV work led to him getting promoted by the Marine Corps from Staff Sargeant to Gunnery Sargeant even though he had already retired, something very rare for an enlisted Marine. He was credited with increasing recruitment and giving the Corps a positive public image, which is ironic since FMJ was not supposed to reflect positively on the Corps, and in fact the Corps viewed it negatively at first. Unlike other military-themed films of the era such as Top Gun, FMJ received no technical or other support from the Pentagon. Thanks to Kubrick and Ermey himself though, it was quite accurate in its depiction of US Marines.

  46.  @wojtek1582  Yes, the story works better if Deckard is a natural human. Though the ambiguity is nice. BTW in the book there's no question Deckard is human, but the movie makes a lot of changes from the book.

  55. Trailer for the first Joker was also top notch.

  56.  @c3bhm  After that he becomes the next Shepard Book, since Book is heavily implied to have once been an operative himself before quitting and turning to faith. The comics later dive into this more, but the comics aren't needed to figure it out, the show drops enough hints.

  57. I remember when Episode 1 was coming out and I was so pumped. A new Star Wars movie! Awesome! And then...it sucked. And the next one sucked. And so on. With the lone exception of Rogue One, every Star Wars film or project since 1983 just sucks harder than the last one. I saw the first Star Wars film in the theater as a little kid, and after The Last Jedi I walked away, totally done with all this. Now I want Disney to keep making these things and wasting their money, because I get joy from watching Drinker and Nerdrotic's reviews of films I will never spend my money or time on.

  58. Making Japan the potential adversary in the Pacific instead of the ch1n3se c0mmun1sts is such a loser move. Reminds me the Red Dawn remake, or the Sum of All Fears, where they changed the bad guys to make it more p0lit1cally correct.

  59. You know when you go to a museum, and you see a display with a button that starts a 2-minute narration of the subject? This is the kind of thing those buttons are made for. Not full length feature films.

  60. That's the saddest "Go away now" I've ever heard on this channel. Loved Firefly. At least we got a decent movie to wrap it up, better than dragging the show out for years until the writing gets stale and the actors start quitting I guess.

  73. I'm one of those older fans you mentioned who stopped giving a shit after Jar Jar Abrams's lousy 2009 film, and like you said, I didn't even know most of these shows even existed. A friend told me to watch Picard season 3, and while it was nice for the 'member berries it had its flaws, too, and in any case wasn't enough for me to start caring. I grew up watching TOS reruns on UHF TV channels, and while I liked TNG, DS9, and even Voyager, as far as I'm concerned everything after Wrath of Khan is fanfic.

  74. Happy 249th birthday, Marines! BTW, at the USMC museum in Virginia there is a photo exhibit by Matthew Modine. Kubrick let him shoot still photos with a twin lens reflex camera in between shooting scenes and the photos are amazing.

  76. The only one I disagree with here is Die Hard 2. All the rest I loved. Predator 2 especially got a bad rap for no good reason. I was glad Arnold wasn't in it; that made the movie about the Predator instead of the leading man.

  80. Unless I hear from friends that this film is really, actually, good, I have no plans to see it. Sorry, but I grew up watching Christopher Reeve* in Superman: The Movie and 98% of all recent movies suck anyway, so if the studio wants my money, they're going to have to work hard for it.

  88. So when I don't go see this, will that make me racist? Misogynist? Which kind of "toxic" fan will I be this time for staying home and rewatching a Sergio Leone film?

  91. If it weren't for these reviews like Drinker and Nerdrotic, I'd never even know these shows exist. I quit caring about Star Wars after episode 8. Aside from Rogue One, there hasn't been anything Star Wars worth a damn since 1983.
