RIP Donald the heckler
This movie was pretty good. It's unfortunate that it didn't make more money.
I watched it recently with my kids and they loved it.
This movie didn't age well (whites have become more prominent in boxing since then)
What happened Captain Marvels' short hair style from Avengers: Endgame?
David Lynch had complete creative control with this, and I found it to be pretty entertaining
The movie is actually anti-feminist
Here I rank the Indiana Jones movies.
At least there was no “nuke the fridge” moment

I used to stay up late watching SCTV reruns that played at midnight on TV when I was in high school.
I found his skits where he hosted 3D B-movies to be hilarious.
Godspeed, Count Floyd.
They held auditions for actors to play Ali at the time, but it was rationalized that Ali was too well known and too distinct a personality that only the real Ali could play the part of Muhammad Ali.
I think he does a more than adequate part here. He was as they say, a genius for the role.
Yea, the second part was boring and rather heavy-handed. It was a complete contradiction of the tone of the first part. I don’t mind ideas expressed where I might disagree, but when it’s presented in a disagreeable manner, well, I am allowed to dismiss it then.
They could have at least paired Matt Damon with his movie star good looks with an attractive woman with a pleasant personality for the second part.
This movie was mainly intended for the arthouse circuit. Based on its modest budget, it is a smashing success. And it has grown in popularity years after it was released.
Back in the day, soap operas were low budget affairs where the vast majority of scenes were recorded in a single take and actors were expected to struggle through instances when they flubbed their lines or made mistakes.
If an actor was too ill to perform, it was not uncommon to have a stand-in play the part for that episode (ie: "in today's pisode, the role of _______ will be played by _______ while ______ is recovering from illness"). And yea, having Christina's mother, THE JOAN CRAWFORD standing in for her daughter while she was sick was a bit of a stunt and a way to promote the show.
This is pretty much it. I used to peruse IMDB for all of the comments and discussions and they took that away for BS reasons. I only use it now as a tool to keep track of which movies that I have watched (I have a huge "to watch" list).
Basically, giving people the power to discuss other TV shows and movies is something that their big corporates don't want people to have. IMDB used to be independent and it sold out many years ago.
Indiana Jones was born in 1899, which would make him 58 years old in the movie (portrayed by a 66 year old Harrison Ford).
Rockefeller's grandson lived to be over 100. I remember seeing him on TV a few years ago and he was quite sharp mentally. He told all kinds of stories about his grandfather.
I'm bumping my thread because I think my idea would have been much better than what we got with the actual movie.
It took me quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to believe that a 70 year old Indiana Jones (who was portrayed by an 80 year old Harrison Ford) could go on another adventure.
I did like the de-aged Indy in 1944 that we got to see in the movie. The only issue I had with it is that they didn't also de-age Harrison Ford's voice--which caused a bit of an uncanny valley effect for me.
Do you want to hear an even dirtier joke?
Another white horse fell in the same mud!
