#Clancy MOTHERFUCKING Brown

[anarchic-miscellany]

"John Wick" movies are made just for me. I mean, me specifically. Not only is the action spectacular, but the casting is seemingly catered specifically to my niche interests: "Oh look, it's Sully from Commando as Charlie the Cleaner! What a fun little 80s character he would play!" "Oh look, here's Ian McFuckingShane as the boss of the hotel, basically his character from 44 Inch Chest!" "Oh look, Mark Dacascos from Drive as a fan boy ninja who runs a sushi shop, and whose apprentices are the guys from The Raid and The Raid 2. Man, I am so happy people are going to see why he is cool!" "Oh look, it's Brian Butterfield as The Sommelier, what a wonderful use of Peter Serafinowicz!" "Oh look, it's Clancy Brown as the Harbinger: the most Clancy Brown name, character description, and part he could possibly play. FINALLY we're getting big budget roles worthy of that man. And his beard." "Oh sweet! John Leguizamo is in this being a fucking badass! More of this Leguizamo please, I want to see him as the lead in a revenge thriller!" "Oh look, it's Lance Reddick!" (RIP King) I remember showing the first one to my friend, who also shares my niche movie interests and watched the same videotapes I had, and he basically went: "What the fuck is he doing here?!" When David Patrick Kelly, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, John Leguizamo and Willem Dafoe showed up. When the credits rolled, his only words were: "The one thing I EXPECT Peter Stormare to show up in, and he doesn't. Amazing." A week later Peter Stormare was cast in "John Wick: Chapter 2" I took my girlfriend to see 4 in the cinema and kind of annoyed her with how hyped I was for Scott Adkins getting a big budget blockbuster movie, and by the end of it (after going: "Oh look, it's Natlia Tena as a Gopnik Punk!" amongst other things), when we had recovered, she admitted that he was fucking great. This movie series is letting a new audience appreciate some actual fucking legends, and let people go nuts.

clancy brown you can't keep doing this to me

[cleromanticon]

I don’t know who decided to cast Shohreh Aghdashloo and Clancy Brown as a married couple, but BLESS THEM WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS. Beautiful performances, and those voices. I just want to listen to them speaking Farsi all day. And between this and The Expanse, the word “motherfucker” is Shohreh��s at this point. Just give her the trademark already.

[pupmkincake2000]

Here we go again

For fucks sake, really?

Do those motherfuckers know their own language definitions?

Some people use son as a form of address when they are showing kindness or affection to a boy or a man who is younger than them. Even Clancy Brown had planty of movies in which his character called other younger characters "son" and it meant nothing, just a way of addressing. Same is here. Lord, if that's their only argument, they're literally failing at character analysis. And it really IS the only argument.

Thoughts on The Boys, episodes 2 and 3:

Episode 2:

Huh. Guess I have to watch The Wire.

Will Ferrell? What are you doing here

Guess they couldn’t have Clancy Brown play the coach

He played the coach, right

Oh hey, he’s back!

You don’t know the half of his low point

“sensitivity readers” and how many of those did you hire?

hahahaha

he’s gonna be fun

“braindead maniac” does describe the comic version

Of course

Don’t take anything they give you

Oh, it’s his mom that’s doing that stuff

Far from “wee” Hughie.

wait who’s this guy playing the boyfriend, I feel like I’ve seen him before

Oh he was the original Dove on Titans, that makes sense

she has a speech therapist?

I love her so much

Oh dear

Fuck off, Butcher

Oh no, they’re making a movie about Ryan

“Homeboy” oh no

Anakin too

This man says volumes with his face

again, I love Sage

Ashley changed her look! I forgot when she ditched the bangs

Oh ouch

Do you not know what the word solo means

That’s the exact wrong advice to give him

Is she 32?

oh she’s a decade older. I see.

Is that the right idea?

What are they doing

Ryan is not a good actor

Using the Captain America line, I see.

Yikes.

He’s gonna go on a power trip

Damn, really?

I want Kimiko’s jacket

Nothing like free hotel breakfast

Oh no, these weirdos are flat earthers too?

“Starlight is a lizard person” jesus

not the minion memes

oh they are calling him Dakota Bob

“soldier boy held captive by the CIA” well he’s being held captive by someone

fuck, they’re climate change deniers too?

“soldier boy + liberty= secret lovers?” I mean, maybe

gosh there’s so much here.

“stormfront is alive” the fuck she is

“tinfoil hat wearing nazi motherfuckers” correct!

Kimiko are you okay

you can tell this was filmed in 2022 because that’s the year before last’s baja blast

hahaha these guys believe delaware isn’t real?

“alt-Supe”

How dare you come for Tom Hanks

NO

god, Frenchie doesn’t believe in the moon landing?

Kimiko!

omg I love her

CUE TOM CARDY’S RED FLAGS

Hey!

Yeah, you should go to the hospital

So glad that he didn’t mean that

Thank you, Hughie

Haven’t seen him in a while

Clovergenders?

The political commentary on this show is too real.

Hahaha I love her

So like conspiracy theorist Jubilee.

YES GIRL

A-Train redemption? That would be nice.

Let him have his moment, man.

YIKES

He’s gonna have to work on his restraint

Kimiko are you okay

Firecracker said “fuck the French” I guess

She’s not gonna do it

That’s like 3 references in one

Drown his ass in the chocolate fountain

“Zionist cabal” NO

Goddamn

Run, bitch!

Hughie cheering on his girlfriend I love them so much your honor

oh hey she’s back!

Go off, Hughie

ooooh Kimiko what are you doing

Episode 3

This is not going to go well.

Also look how few Starlight supporters there are compared to the Homelander supporters

Fuck off

“they want to get rid of superheroes” and what do they think Starlight is, then?

What has she actually said?

There are not seven of them.

I do really like those suits

Oh good, Butcher seems to be doing the right thing

SHE’S ANTI-VAX TOO?

gosh, I do kind of hope she doesn’t believe all of this and is just looking up what will cause the most controversy and clicks. Would be funnier if she was a true believer though.

She’s not wrong

He is that petty

“make a sandwich out of her”

Guess we know Starlight says trans rights, good for her

I’m sure he’s gonna try

Just let him go into the basement and see there are no kids in there.

Well, then she’s gonna be out of a job

Love how The Masked Singer hasn’t changed here

Eyyy kimiko’s a hacker good for her

Kimiko and Helena would be great friends

I love Hughie wearing a dolly parton shirt

Maeve didn’t blow a dude

as far as I know

oh this is fun

“dodgy incel” he’s not wrong

Oh, his voice is changing

That’s fuckin’ brutal.

I’m obsessed with her

do I like Ashley now?

She is a girlboss

gosh, this song

Ryan!

It is clearly not nothing

He also helped take down Stormfront

Not wrong on any of those counts

MM is a great character

You two should hide

Oh yikes

Not the best thing to see

Get your head in the game

Oh hey, it’s Nina

Glad Butcher threw those away

Why did she end that sentence with a question if she wasn’t lying

You said she would be fine!

Ashley are you alright

Yes, go after her, queen

What is a dinosaur doing on her poster

Oh damn, Annie as a bully

She is better

Hasn’t she been traumatized enough

Oh no this is very out of date

also how dare they use Maeve’s image for this

OMG THE BOOK OF MORMON GUY

Hughie can chill.

There’s no way the vents are that big

Oh no

Hughie get out of there

“critical supe theory” I think that is just known as the works of Garth Ennis and a few other authors here in the real world, ma’am

Is Stan dead? I can’t remember

How did Homelander know

Hughie’s sweat is going to get him hurt

YIKES

Well they’re not performing that show anytime soon

Yeah, listen to her

You can try

And how would you do that?

why is she watching reality TV

Is he really?

Oh no

Stop talking about how people smell, Homelander

“gave you everything that I ever wanted” oh that was pointed

oh hey mirror Homelander is back

What start?

In a world of cool motherfuckers, John Wick 4 shows that Clancy Brown remains cool.

[honourablejester]

For bonus points because gifs can’t reveal it, this Lex is voiced by none other than Clancy Brown, the Kurgan and Justin Crowe himself, and thus sounds like the richest, smoothest, most sinister motherfucker on the planet.

It’s also the version of Lex who changed out of combat gear in favour of snazzy business attire to face down Darkseid himself because, and I quote, “I needed to get my power suit.”

To quote someone else in the notes, every other DC adaptation wishes it had what the DCAU had.

[maddsmallow]

my older brother has literally TOLD me MULTIPLE times that clancy brown is the voice actor of baron praxis in jak II, but it didnt like click until just now. like. holy shit. like yeah okay i grew up with spongebob but the jak trilogy???? was one of the first things i FELT growing up. those games are like, a part of me at this point. AND MOTHERFUCKING CLANCY BROWN IS IN THAT TOO???? what the FUCK

[jorjin]

Highlander was such a trash film idk why it was popular. At least it brought something new to pop culture, but at what cost

[fygeneralzod]

Hi I’m Candy. Of course you are.

[lesbx]

jack black as bowser is so good and i wouldn’t trade it for anything but i think clancy brown would also make for an incredible bowser. that would be a much more dramatic mario movie though. that bowser that would call mario a motherfucker

Why Crash Twinsanity is a masterpiece

I like the direction they took with the gameplay in this game. The non-linear design is a nice change of scenery, and there's a ton of variety. No two levels are exactly the same.

Killer soundtrack. I didn't think you could make an entire video game soundtrack entirely a capella, but they made it work.

Significantly less Coco content, but we do get to see her kick Cortex in the "crystals," which more than makes up for it.

On a similar note, SO MUCH CORTEX CONTENT. This is Cortex's game. You get to unlock him as a playable character, a lot of the story is focused on him, and this is the debut of Lex Lang in the role. While I liked Clancy Brown's "menacing evil villain" take well enough, Lex Lang's expressiveness really adds to the character

The cutscenes are a lot more fleshed out than in previous games. I've been watching playthroughs of the main series Crash games in order and seeing the storytelling develop as the series progresses, and these cutscenes are definitely more interesting (and hilarious) to watch than just seeing characters talk directly to Crash.

The one cutscene where Uka-Uka says "I don't know whether to kiss you or KILL YOU!" and Crash leans in for a kiss. Love this man.

N Gin does this:

Best N Gin moment so far.

N Tropy enters his portion of the boss fight T-posing. Immaculate.

Cortex leaves Crash to moor the airship. A few minutes later, we see the airship flying over the school dragging a bus beneath it. What were you expecting to happen, Cortex?

Cortex shooting levels go pew pew pew.

SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT:

A Motherfucking SPYRO APPEARANCE? I had no idea video games referenced each other like that.

Nina's grappling move looks cool, and the fact that you use it in the final boss looks even cooler.

Surprise twist: Crash shows up with a mecha.

We get confirmation that Crash just has a bunch of dancing Crashes inside his head. Explains a lot, actually.

Overall, 10/10 would recommend. Next is Crash of the Titans. After this amazing experience, I'm worried that it won't hold a candle.

[thespianwtch]

not one of you motherfuckers was gonna tell me about clancy brown's accent in buckaroo bonzai, huh? you were just gonna let me accidentally stumble upon another gruff looking cowboy to my simp list, huh?

Detroit Become Human Thoughts - Spoilers

Playing through Detroit is a very different experience to Heavy Rain. By and large I find myself impressed more on a technical level than an emotional one. The story is familiar, an allegorical civil rights that is seen in countless sci-fi and fantasy media, albeit one that leans more heavily than usual on real life civil rights imagery and iconography. The familiarity is not necessarily a fault, there is plenty of room for DBH among the genre, fitting comfortably alongside X-men and I,Robot etc. However, the choice to overtly homage aspects of civil rights history is little uncomfortable at times, given that the game largely doesn’t acknowledge it. Aside from one POC character late in the game, no one ties the androids struggle together with that of real world minority groups, which means the decision to cast a large number of these deviant androids POCs doesn’t always sit well, particularly when their fate is frequently in the hands of a white character for better or worse. This being said, it is not every game’s duty to cover all issues, but it does ring a little false when a game telling this particular type of story seems unwilling to recognise the link, content to leave it as subtext even when innocent POC characters are gunned down by police and others kept as literal slaves by white characters.

Equally Kara’s story is very hard to watch at times, when it seems each successive incident gets worse and worse. David Cage has come under fire for the way women are treated in his games before, but to be fair to him, in HR I largely felt it fit with both the tone and genre of the game. Yes, the women in the story get into horrible situations but also by and large have their own agency and agendas. The violence was schlocky, but in an old school thriller way, it didn’t feel too gratuitously out of place. In DBH it feels like Kara goes from horror to horror with little reprieve. She also has very little agency compared with the other player characters. Even when she breaks free from her programming, she is only able to shoot Todd by accident in self-defence (when I quite happily would have gunned that motherfucker down) after he slaps the gun out of her hands. Again, child abuse and domestic violence are important issues which can and should be discussed, but the portrayal feels exploitative rather than meaningful.  Compare this with the scene where Markus drags his broken body through the junkyard; this too is a horrific scene, however it’s one that fits well in the context. It’s a complete whiplash from Markus’ treatment by Carl and is a pure nightmare to navigate, but it punches you in the gut with how androids are treated and gives an immediate sense of “this is what we are fighting for” and Markus’ climb out of the pit is a triumphant moment. Kara doesn’t really get any of those triumphant moments, merely evading or escaping, sometimes very narrowly, though admittedly does get the more heartwarming moments too, though much later in the game.

Having said all of this, these issues with the story largely fade away heading into the final third. The game becomes both more interesting and whether it becomes less problematic or just feels that way because I was becoming more wrapped up in the story I’m not sure, but my feelings towards the end of the game towards the game as a whole were much warmer than the earlier chapters. Equally, to be fair to Quantic Dream, the arguable “lead” character is a POC android and is the driving force of the game, along with a number of other strong supporting POC characters. I also don’t think any of the missteps come from a place of malice, I believe DBH is earnestly trying its best to be inclusive and the fact that it ended up telling its story a little clumsily in this regard should not be a damning indictment of the game, but a call to try and improve next time.

I’ve also gone a long time without talking about my favourite character pairing: Connor and Hank. I should take a moment to say that all the main player actors perform admirably, Valorie Curry’s quietly resolved Kara, Jesse Williams plays Markus (at least in my run) with a determined understated performance which nonetheless has a commanding presence which makes you believe he’d be able to lead an android rebellion. However, it’s Bryan Dechart – funnily enough the only one of the three I’d not seen previously in TV or film – who has the most captivating performance. In part This may partly be due to his story being a more straightforward detective/thriller story, one the writing team has more experience with crafting, but Dechart’s efforts certainly elevate it portraying Connor with subtlety and nuance, accompanied by a surprisingly soulful turn from Clancy Brown. The prologue featuring Connor – also released as a demo – was the reason I picked up the game, as it hit that sweet spot which I subsequently found in HR of narrative and gameplay synergy. Clinically collecting evidence in order to talk down a hostage taking android, each clue providing more options to negotiate.

Speaking of the gameplay, by and large, the QTEs involved in DBH are less immersive than those of HR, none provoke the same visceral sensation that the trials did, or the instinctual gunshot, or even the cathartic shootout. The fight scenes have improved though and do feel more immediate and better choreographed - understandable, given the superhuman nature of the androids. I do also appreciate the newer mechanics like the investigation sequences - more involved and detailed than those found in the Batman: Arkham series – and the “route planner” style puzzles.

I also very much applaud DBH for allowing the android revolution storyline to be played entirely pacifistically or violently; were this a movie, the characters may begin peacefully, but become violent and vengeful after an inciting incident, but pleasingly DBH never takes that choice away from you. Equally heartening is the statistics at the end of each level, showing that the majority of players usually choice the peaceful choice. The choices in general are frequent and more gradual, creating a slow burn approach that allows you to waver and change your mind. My Connor was very much undecided through most of the game, wavering between deviancy and the mission, emotion and logic. These smaller choices work very well in keeping you invested in the characters and slowly building up the picture.

I’m very nearly at the end now, hoping I don’t mess it up as badly as I did in HR.

[aesthetic-survivor-of-twd]

This will be a looong ask but here i go which of the following games do u know and what do u think about them Ddlc- the last of us -fatal frame- detroit become human-beyond two souls-life is strange-until dawn-wolf among us-uncharted-game of thrones-heavy rain-resident evil7-among the sleep-yandere simulator-blackwood crossing

Me reading this : "haha this Ask isn't long at a- oh... I see what you mean" lmao.DDLC: Really unique and great visual novel. I admire it's technique of messing around with your game files and how it portrays it's horror element. Very unlike a lot of other visual novel games. Feels like the game version of Madoka Magica with it's cutesy vibe turned dark.TLOU: I'm not obsessed with the game like many are, but it definitely deserves the praise it gets and I love the writing and characters. I'm intrigued to see what happens in the sequel.Fatal Frame: OMG YOU GAVE ME FLASHBACKS TO PLAYING THESE GAMES AS A KID. I don't care if some of it hasn't aged well. Fatal Frame will always be a great horror game series close to my heart. One of the few horror games that actually scared me.Detroit Become Human: I know it gets a lot of criticism but I personally love it. Hank and Connor is probably my favourite story just because I am a sucker for buddy cop duos and I love Hank Anderson as a character (it's motherfucking Clancy Brown!), plus I like games that let me act like a detective. The other two storylines are also pretty great in their own right as well though.Beyond Two Souls: Ehhhh it was okay. Probably my least favourite David Cage game tbh. Did appreciate seeing Willem Dafoe in the game though lol LIS: Okay so this is the one that might get me lynched by a lot of people... I DO like Life is Strange. Buuut I really don't love it or praise it highly like a lot of people do. The ending kinda annoyed me and even though I've tried - I just find it hard to like Chloe Price as a character (did like her more in the DLC though). The voice acting kinda took me out of the immersion a lot as well even if I could handle the cheesy dialogue.Until Dawn: I really loved this game. Just a fun horror all around and gave me Cabin in the Woods vibes which I dig. Also appreciate the unique spin on using wendigos as the monster - something that isn't really some often.Uncharted: I never enjoyed a platformer game as much as this one. The characters are fun and I overall had a great time playing it.TWAU: Really loved it and I've always been a fan of the Fables comics as well as detective noir stories and fairytales in general, so it was bound to appeal to me. I kinda wish they kept the original concept for the villain, but I still love it. Really one of Telltale's best works.Heavy Rain: I don't think it holds up, but I remember loving this game when it first came out and Norman Jayden was my favourite character to play.GOT: "Eh" it was okay. I'm kinda indifferent to it tbh.Resident Evil 7: SURPRISED ME BY HOW GOOD IT WAS. I'm a massive Resident Evil fan and wasn't expecting this game to be a great as it was. But I was gladly surprised.Among the Sleep: I remember liking this game. I caught onto where the story was going earlier on but it was still a nice trip.Yandere Simulator: Oof let's not go there. I thought it showed promise at first but I've dropped the game at this point because I find it hard to support Yandere Dev for all the shit he has been doing (and I'm not referring to his past). I honestly doubt that game will ever be finished in all honesty. Seems like he is just trying to draw things out as much as possible by making random videos on potential content to make it look like a lot of development is going on so he can get that Patreon money at the end of the day.Blackwood Crossing: Never played it but it looks interesting.
