Bob Marley : One Love

One Love entertains with a powerful soundtrack, magnificent visuals and a very good performance by the cast, especially Kingsly Ben-Adir as Bob Marley and Lashana Lynch as his wife Rita Marley.  BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity. In addition to being a cultural icon, Bob Marley is the subject of the film…

I realized I did not express myself well. Henry to me looks like a womanizer/bit of a creep when he had a beard a few years go, but only in the photos of 'him as himself'. Agree he looks awesome in Nomis (terrrrrible film) and he certainly packed a punch in Sand Castle. But again... in every film he LOOKS the part and shows good transformative skills, but then his acting is never up to par. His performance and accent in Sand Castle were nowhere near as good the 'look' that he gave off. He was almost unbearable in Nomis, all 'himbo' scoffs and grudge and very limited depth to his character, no matter how flawed the film was - not to mention that it's so him to pick a film like Nomis where he THINKS he's telling a feminist story where he gets to play the one dimensional protector type he so much loves, while in reality it's told so badly, like in a voyeruistic way that totally invalidates the premise. And I think he was suprisingly good in Sherlock but agree that his physicality was totally unconvincing for such a canonic role. which is the sad part about his choice to go down the muscled road. It narrows his playing field massively, but if there's one thing we know by now is that Henry's true kryptonite seems to be... real art! It's probably got to do with deep seated insecurities and family conditioning, where it's all about 'realistic' stuff like being a soldier and/or making money etc. It's been so obvious for so long he treats his acting career as a business... the way he talks about projects sounds more like a sales exec than an artist. I know many other actors do that too, but he is almost too candid about it. While I think it's refreshing to be real as opposed to so many stars and starlets taking themselves insanely seriously and being super pretentious, he goes way too far in the other direction. To me it's clear he has the acting gene, the way he is in interviews with live audiences is always so telling to me that he LOVES audience interaction and he'd be so good in theater! But no, he won't touch real art and real art won't touch him because by now his career choices and words have distanced him too much from actually serious roles with good depth. And he started off good.... even Woody Allen cast him! (yes he sucks I know, but he used to be such an elite gig for those 'good looking actors who could prove they can act'). The funniest thing about Henry for me is that I find his 'real' life persona FAR more interesting than any of his acting roles. Like I saw MI6 years before getting into him and I did not even remember his role... that's how forgettable his performance was. What made me fall for him was the clearly cool personality he has in interviews etc. I know that's a fabrication to an extent, but it is in the sense that it's only a part of him... but it does exist. The guy could do so much better, but his conditioning and insecurities have the better of him... I think he's going to try and position himself as a hybrid Rock/Cruise kinda guy where ideally he gets to act and produce big bucks action films + get deeper into entrepreneurial business gigs too - which is why he chose Dany. She literally is that... GAWD. You know what role I wanna see him in? Normal-bodied, queer, wearing eyeliner and nail polish and being a total chaotic neutral or baddie. I mean it! He'd kill it.

"His performance and accent in Sand Castle were nowhere near as good the 'look' that he gave off."

I love different accents but his in SC irritated me. I don't know because it was badly delivered or because my not native speaker ear just didn't like it.

"He was almost unbearable in Nomis," I think this is the movie's fault because the film is unbearable. Both the direction both the screenplay is garbage. Jesus, that movie had Ben Kingsly, Stanley Tucci, Natan Fillion and they couldn't save it.

"And I think he was suprisingly good in Sherlock but agree that his physicality was totally unconvincing for such a canonic role"

Agree. He showed some acting potential but his figure was so bad for those costumes.

"but if there's one thing we know by now is that Henry's true kryptonite seems to be... real art!" HAHA lol

"t's been so obvious for so long he treats his acting career as a business... the way he talks about projects sounds more like a sales exec than an artist."

This is so personal to me I don't know why, because I love movies so much and his view on this just so sad to me, especially he could have been better. Not an Antony Hopkins level but he is more than what he shows now.

Agree with the next part but I think he would be not so good in theatre.

"he won't touch real art and real art won't touch him because by now his career choices and words have distanced him too much from actually serious roles with good depth"

This is so sad. I feel he is wasting himself.

"even Woody Allen cast him! (yes he sucks I know, but he used to be such an elite gig for those 'good looking actors who could prove they can act')"

Like it or not, he is a real artist and I love his early, classic movies. Just because he is a creep, you cannot say he is a bad director. You can say his movies are not for you but he is a real artist.

HE NEEDS TO GET RID OF DG!!

Me, to husband as I finish dinner: I'm almost done. Why don't you pick something to watch?

Husband: *picks a movie on netflix*

Me: haven't we seen this one?

Husband: It has Ben Kingsly in it; we haven't seen it.

Me, confused as to what Ben Kingsly has to do with it, just lets it drop

Yeah, Ben Kingsly is in the movie and yes, we've seen the movie before. I'm still confused.

Quick Takes: One Night In Miami, The Painter and the Thief and In and Of Itself

One Night In Miami This is a fictional account of the night that Mohammad Ali (Eli Goree), then Cassius Clay, won the heavyweight title for the first time. He spent the night in a hotel room with Malcolm X (Kingsly Ben-Adir), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), and Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.)

This is originally a play, and I would jump at the chance to see it on stage. This movie was terrific. The performances from the entire cast were incredible. These four spend the night talking about topics that are still relevant today. One of the most memorable is when Malcolm X asks Sam Cooke why he doesn't sing more personal songs. He takes out a Bob Dylan record and plays Blowin' In The Wind and tells Cooke that a white man's piece of music captures the black experience better than any Cooke has written.

9/10 1hr 54mins Rated R for language throughout. Available now on Amazon Prime

The Painter and the Thief

The simplest way to describe this is a painter befriends one of the men who stole some of her paintings. A more complicated explanation is this movie is a moving look at friendship and forgiveness mean.

The Painter (Barbora Kysilkova) and the Thief (Karl Bertil-Nordland) are both from traumatic backgrounds. She turns to art, and he turns to drugs and crime. When Karl is caught and tried for theft, Barbora wants to meet with him and ask him where the paintings are. He says he doesn't remember because he was so whacked out on drugs at the time. To me, that moment is where she sees someone who doesn't need punishment, just another chance. She asks to paint him, and he agrees.

This relationship is beautiful to watch unfold and evolve. They genuinely care about each other. We get to see this story from both perspectives. We see how they saw each other and how they perceived the events that brought them together.

What fascinates me about the Andy Serkis Jungle Book’s animals looking so weird is that Disney did the same thing but theirs looks SO much better

Both of them basically put the actor’s face in the animal, but Andy Serkis’ SEVERELY overcompensated in trying to smash the face onto the animal

Now look at Disney’s

You can clearly see Bill Murray’s face on Disney’s version but it looks way more natural. The face is way more subtle, they made making the animals believable to major priority

VS Disney

Again, you can kind of see Ben Kingsly’s face in there but it’s not the dominating feature

The ONLY time Disney made the face super obvious was with Louie and Christopher Walken

But, you can kind of forgive it because it’s Christopher Walken

Man, just looking at these it’s really obvious why Andy Serkis version got kicked out of theaters and shunted onto Netflix. A pity really

[zombimanos]

I have no idea what this movie is & it's still wrapped, but Joe Don Baker is in it?? With Ben Kingsly!?

I Wanna Talk About Iron Man

(MCU Spoilers)

I consistently hear people trying to argue that the major weakness of the Iron Man films are the villains. They are similar to one another and to Tony, their plans are predictable, and always using variations of Tony’s own technology. I agree that they often aren’t as well developed as they could be but I also think there is a thematic thread that every one shares which ties the movies together.

One thing I always hear about Iron Man 3 is that they handled the Mandarin poorly. While I definitely think that the movie would have been stronger if they had used Maya Hansen as the big bad reveal instead of Guy Pierce (as I am dead sure they originally intended to do) I think the Mandarin was handled very well!

If the Mandarin had been portrayed in a comic accurate way they would have been thrusting him into a racist asian villain stereotype a la season 2 of Daredevil, and still using Ben Kingsley would have brought up discussion of changing his race (albeit to a different type of asian POC).

Instead what Iron Man 3 did was give us a fantastic performance by Ben Kingsley for the first half of the movie and use it to shape a surprising twist which supports the major theme of all of Iron Man’s villains; Rich White Man taking advantage of POC to cover up their destructive decisions.

The original movie focused on the (obvious) twist that Obadiah Stane was the one behind Tony’s kidnapping by terrorists and was ultimately funding them and providing them with weapons to further his own war mongering purposes.

In Iron Man 2 Ivan Vanko wants revenge on the Starks for stealing his father’s work. It’s debatable weather or not he’s in the right but when his plans fail on their own he is immediately scooped up by Justin Hammer, Tony’s rival in industry and now a major arms dealer because Stark Industries backed out of the weapons game. Hammer exploits Vanko’s work and though Vanko ultimately shows him up by commandeering his tech and funneling it back into his revenge plan (because Hammer is incompetent), the plot still hinges on Hammer trying to manipulate Vanko into being his pawn.

The 10 rings seem to initiate Tony’s journey until it’s revealed Stane was always using them. Ivan tries to get revenge for his father, then Hammer gives him the resources he needs to become a threat. In this same vein the Mandarin seems to be making wild terrorist strikes until it’s revealed that fire breath was actually using him as a publicity stunt.

There is a lot of real world relevance to this plot line, how America repeatedly funds and arms militias in the Middle East and Asia for it’s own purposes and how those militias then turn and become the next “big threat” respectively. 3 falls right into that lineup by showing how the people in power frame a villain for the public to focus on while they cover up any involvement all while maintaining a business face.

The villains in the Iron Man movies all have this common thread of being mirror images of Tony who use their power to exploit people without, which forms an excellent foil for Tony’s character arc of “former war monger who has seen the consequences of his actions and is now struggling to do what’s right in every situation.” It also echoes one of the core themes of the Iron Man series, accountability. While Tony struggles to take accountability for the wrong that he has done his villains simply shirk that responsibility onto someone else, be that person Tony, Vanko, or Ben Kingsly.

Instead of retreading the same arc each Iron Man movie builds on the evolving relationships between capitalism and war profiteering and Tony’s attempts to better himself while he’s caught beteen. While improvements could be made on any of them the Iron Man villains together provide a strong backbone to the movie series and give Tony exactly the kind of adversity he needs to evolve as a character and make the choices he needs to.

(On a side note this also bears on how Tony’s arc continues out of the Iron Man movies into Avengers and Civil War. As he continues to toe the line between accountability and control he crosses it enough to be an antagonist to Captain America, who’s villains consistently represent some kind of corruption of political power.)

[priceforrottenjudgement]

lmao so i @ ed deadline and asked them if they are unable to find any actual israeli people to play this character and some dumbo literally replied “I have many isrelli friends. They are excited to get their story across. It's pretty awesome that the story is told” hm hm sure tiffany. so i answered: “I’m pretty sure your many israeli friends would have been even more excited if an actual israeli person got the role.”

then this person came at me with:��“no I asked her and she said as long as the story is told.  Ben kingsly played Gandhi/british and many moreTalent is more imp” and first off? i thought you had many israeli friends? why only one now? and also: buddy, i got some news for you about ben kingsley.

and then they curved and went “my point is just because someone is from a country here story is about doesn't make them a better actor for a role” which literally means u don’t think there are any good israeli actors stacey. (this person also obviously has no idea what nationality and ethnicity mean lmao...)

[shioritsumi]

no but i swear i will NOT shut up about Without A Clue it’s GREAT and I love it and I think anyone who loves comedies and detective stories and Holmes

and wants to see Holmes and Watson changed up a bit but not TOO terribly

STARRING some big name actors????

It’s Without A Clue

Michael FUCKING Cain

you know, Alfred from all those Batman movies? That’s Michael Cain! He’s young and Sherlock Holmes! Sort of

Ben goddamn fucking KINGSLY

think of a charming older balding English actor

you’ve either got Patrick Stewart of Ben Kingsly in your head right now and Watson is played by one of them.

Movies in Theaters: July 10, 2015

    In case you didn’t know what movies were coming out this week nationwide, I got you covered. Another horror movie that promises to make you scream with fear. It’s called The Gallows and it’s set 20 years after an accident during a small town high school play that results in death. The students at the school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary…

[supercultshow]

Howdy all you Supercultists out there on the interwebz! I’m Bad Movie Professor Cameron Coker (BS in “Three-Point Landings” with a minor in “Alcoholism”) and I’ll be posting my hype-tacular speeches every week along with some long lost speeches from past Supercult Shows!

This week is the long lost supercult speech for that one time we all just decided to go see Iron Man 3 together!

When brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark finds his personal world destroyed at the hands of a new enemy, the fanatical terrorist known as the Mandarin, he embarks on a harrowing quest of redemption and retribution. With his back against the wall Stark must rely on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. Along the way Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him…ever since the writers needed to think up yet another character driven subplot: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? Even heroes fall…it’s Iron Man 3!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThreePointLanding

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KnGuC4lOEQ

Don Cheadle returns as Colonel James Rhodes, aka The Iron Patriot

One, two, three…oh man, we’re gunna need a bigger action scene to hold all of this awesome!

When Superheroes are behind on their normal person laundry…

Guy Pearce plays Aldrich Killian, a character who we all know is probably the bad guy simply based on his last name.

Uuuh…you know, it’s probably fine, nothing bad happens in this scene, I’m sure.

Iron Man 3, now sponsored by Google Glass…

Gwyneth Paltrow returns as the nagging, uh, I mean, incredibly supportive girlfriend, Pepper Pots

Did you know snow was blue? Maybe in this scene Iron Man visits the land of blueberry sno-cones?

Robert Downy Jr. returns to the role of Tony Stark and is joined by Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall, and Jon Favreau from the previous films. Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley join the cast as the spurned rival Aldrich Killian and the enigmatic Mandarin, respectively. Jon Favreau, the director of the first two Iron Man films, is also replaced with Shane Black, who is best known as a writer for the Lethal Weapon series, but made his directorial debut with “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2005.

Blank excels at giving his characters a morbid edge and writing witty banter (which Robert Downy Jr. is well suited to deliver) but some have doubts about his ability to direct explosive block-buster action sequences like those demanded by this new breed of Marvel Super Hero film.

Previous Iron Man director Jon Favreau

Director Shane Black

Producer Kevin Feige

Black doesn’t come without a recommendation however. Robert Downey Jr. had previously starred in Shane Black’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and spoke highly of Black replacing Jon Favreau, saying that “bringing in Shane Black to write and direct the film is basically the only thing that Favreau and the audience and Marvel and I could ever actually sign off on.” Shane Black also admitted that Jon Favreau gave him tips and advice during filming (for which he was very grateful and thankful) though noted that this film would have a “different feel” from the other two.

Producer Kevin Feige has had a lot to say about the themes of the movie:

It’s “a full-on Tony Stark-centric movie… He’s stripped of everything, he’s backed up against a wall, and he’s gotta use his intelligence to get out of it. He can’t call Thor, Cap or Nick Fury, and he can’t look for the Helicarrier in the sky.”

Robert Downey Jr. further described the character as influenced by a post-Avengers world: “What are his challenges now? What are some limitations that might be placed on him and what sort of threat would have him, as usual, ignore those limitations?”

Feige described the film’s core theme as a love story:

“The love triangle in this movie is between Tony, Pepper and his obsession with those suits, and the obsession with technology. Yes, there’s a bad guy. Yes, the stakes are very, very high. But the real stakes are, is Tony going to be able to set aside spending every day in that workshop tinkering with the suits in order to focus on Pepper, the one thing that matters most?”

The Mandarin he says is inspired from Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now: “He wants to represent this sort of prototypical terrorist, someone who worked for the intelligence community, who went nuts in the field and became this sort of devotee of war tactics.”  The Mandarin himself is portrayed with an ambiguous background: “It’s less about his specific ethnicity than the analogy of various cultures and their iconography that he perverts for his own end. We’re not saying he’s Chinese, we’re saying he draws a cloak around him of Chinese symbols and dragons because it represents his obsession with Sun Tzu and various ancient arts of warfare that he has studied.”

Lots of Trivia for this one…

At 130 minutes, this is the longest stand-alone Iron Man film to date.

As we all know Disney bought Marvel Comics, but they also bought the movie distribution rights from Paramount for $115 million. This deal also includedThe Avengers. However, as with The Avengers, under the conditions of the deal, Paramount will be the studio logo to appear and not Disney’s. It is expected that no reference to Disney will be made until the very end of the closing credits, “Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.”

One scene from the film was shot inside Epic Games, the video game development company known for the Gears of War franchise.

Unlike the first two Iron Man films, Industrial Light and Magic is not involved with the film’s VFX. Instead, Digital Domain and Weta Digital took over.

Including the bonus scene in The Incredible Hulk, this will be Downey’s fifth portrayal of Tony Stark. This will also mark the first time Samuel L. Jackson does not appear in an “Iron Man” related movie as Nick Fury.

The film was originally budgeted at $140 million, but after The Avengers became a huge hit Marvel Studios and Disney upped it to $200 million in order to allow Shane Black, the screenwriter, to make the best movie he could.

The character of United States President Ellis in this movie is named after comic book writerWarren Ellis who wrote the 2005 Iron Man story arc “Extremis”, a primary influence for this film series’ story lines.

Joss Whedon makes a cameo in the film. He’s the man hiding behind the car that Tony acknowledges during the attack by Ellen Brandt.

Iron Man 3 is the first Iron Man film not to feature any songs by AC/DC.

Now for all the things I can say now that I couldn’t say when I gave this speech way back in May of 2013:

With an worldwide gross of $1.21 billion, Iron Man 3 is the highest grossing Iron Man film to date. Iron Man 3 is also the second Marvel film after the Avengers to pass the $1 billion mark.

With an IMDB score of 7.3 and a 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, Iron Man 3 is the 2nd highest rated Iron Man film to date behind the first in the series.

Every now and then Supercultists, we’ve just got to take a break and watch a movie that we didn’t buy from a fat nerd in a back alley or steal from the bargain bin of Wal-Mart…

Get ready for some heavy metal!

The Supercult show is proud to present Iron Man 3!

An open letter to film makers

Hey Hollywood, and indeed Englandwood, stop being dicks. Oh, you know that to which I refer- or maybe there are too many offending articles for you to remember whom you have offended this time. Well, lets not waste time while you check your notes. Let me slam my theoretical pen into your table and shout "disability"! Yep, you and disability. Or rather you an 'lets make money out of the able pretending to be dis in increasingly offensive ways'. Rain Man. Million Dollar (literally) Baby, that James Macavoy film, the French One. All of the Oscar winning, self flagellation films that you create to tug the heart strings. This year we have Eddie, an Oscar winner for cert (unless Cumberwumberbatch gets it for being Gay), and Kingsman. You have taken the most awesome disabled character EVER and given the role to a woman with legs. Ignoring the impracticalities you have created for yourself in terms of CGI, what the hell. I mean yes, she kills people with her prosthetic feet- that is fucking awesome- but what you are really endorsing aren't positive portrayals of the different, but a rejection of us; shoving our own inadequacies up our arses and not even letting us portray ourselves in fiction. Heaven knows we don't get any other chances to appear in film. But please continue, give Dustin fucking Hoffman another award for his understanding portrayal and ignore my existence. We are not costumes or makeup. Get a white actor and dress him black and see how that goes for you, enjoy the lawsuits. Kingsley wouldn't be allowed anymore so why is Kingsman? Stop taking our roles and our lives and bequeathing them to the unworthy
