It wasn't a thick Brooklyn accent but there was an episode of The Cosby Show (Season 5, Episode 4) where Cliff and Claire go to dinner at Sandra and Elvin's run down low-rent apartment. Cliff is eating the potatoes that they made and says that exact line "Burnt on the outside" and Elvin starts protesting that they're crispy on the outside and then Cliff bites into one and says "And raw on the inside". Sounds like your dad was probably saying this prior to the Cosby Show even being a thing but the dialogue is essentially the same.
I think they were better off making this completely separate from that film. One of the big problems would be that in order to make it work, Joker would have to be in his 60s since the Bruce Wayne in The Batman is a good 20 years older than Bruce Wayne was in Joker. I feel like they're better off keeping their options with the character open for whatever they decide to do (if anything) with the character in future installments.
1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
2. Wonder Woman (2017)
3. Wonder (2017)
I'm from Gloucester Massachusetts originally where this takes place (same fishing community that the Perfect Storm took place) and I shamefully still haven't seen it. Even more shameful a pretty good friend of mine from high school who is now a fishing boat captain was named in their thank you speech because he worked with them on the fishing aspects of the picture and even with that I still haven't managed to see it yet. Man I suck lol
That "solid" definition is changing. You may never accept it but the direction it's moving is pretty clear. Younger generations are more and more accepting and what constitutes normal is fluid. Bottom line, times will change whether you're willing to change with them or not. If Elliot Page wants to identify as a man, it's all good by me.
This is about Elliot Page and has nothing to do with people who have the desire to commit criminal acts so there's no analogy to be made there. It's not a difficult distinction to make.
No because you're talking about criminal acts. Not a difficult distinction.
Amen
Why does just about every board on this site have to be trolled by stuff like this?
Big is a good one, young kid is suddenly an adult and has to make a go of it as an adult in a corporate environment. Similar premise also with 13 Going on 30.
This was my biggest annoyance with the movie. Early in the film the store clerk says <i>"he was wearing a mask. It's not easy to locate someone if you don't know what they look like." </i>But none of the other family members were wearing masks and she was at their house so she knew where they lived (the location would've been backed up by where the truck picked her up at the end as well). I enjoyed the movie for all the gore and the short run time made this go down easy enough but they didn't even try to address the rest of the family which was pretty lame.
Agree and ditto for Halloween.
So just to be clear, you complaining about the villains being white in a 2006 movie wasn't you simply trolling?! I'll be damned...that's just so fucking pathetic I figured it had to be a goof but wow!
But that's not what we're discussing in this post is it? If I wanted to discuss my thoughts on use of the N-word (I don't) I'd wade into the Joe Rogan board. What we're discussing is the idiocy of complaining about white villains in a 16 year old film and I'm not interested in whataboutism. And anyone who has a problem with the villains' being white is either a troll (probable) or a very fragile white person (possible).
Yeah I guess it would've made perfect sense to have the characters stay at a youth hostel in Ethiopia just to protect the fragility of any white people watching. JFC...
Why would these college kids be backpacking through a third world country? Backpacking through Europe and staying at youth hostels is almost a trope in itself and it made sense that these characters were there to smoke weed and get laid. Seriously this fragile over the villains being white?
Aren't white people usually one half of the interracial couple being portrayed? How is that portraying them as evil?

I have a PlayStation VR headset and have used maybe a total of 5 times in the past 3 years. I always end up with a headache so I usually just steer clear of VR.
The whole point of vigilante justice is that they operate outside the parameters of the law. In one of the old comics a flashback shows Bruce Wayne in a law class where there's a caselaw discussion with an unfair outcome and Bruce asks of the professor "Is that justice" and his professor responds "No Mr. Wayne, that's the law".
Rather than whether or not Batman believes in due process a better question would be should any evidence the police receive due to the Batman's illegal tactics be admissible in a court of law? In The Dark Knight it's said that the police department's official position is to arrest the vigilante known as Batman. But with a giant bat signal on the roof of police headquarters it would be fair to argue that he is working as a deputy of the police department and should be held to the same restrictions. However Gotham is usually portrayed as a different type of place in need of a different type of justice where all the players know they live in a world where the normal rules don't apply. In the end trying to make real world sense of a comic book movie is very much a futile effort.
