“In private life, Buster sometimes displayed a troubling passivity, but his movies repeatedly trace a development from passivity and disengagement to action and passionate involvement. The hero of Battling Butler starts out as a spoiled rich boy, so cushioned by wealth he is practically comatose. By the end, he has learned to stand up for himself and beaten the lightweight world champion. At the time he made this film, Buster was putting up with a lot in his unhappy marriage and home life. He must have enjoyed playing a man who effectively fights back.
The unusual fight in Battling Butler culminates in a more characteristic moment when Buster’s gentle, sweet-natured character snaps out of his frenzy and realizes that he has pounded his opponent unconscious. Instead of being proud, he is shocked at himself, putting his boxing-gloved hand over his mouth, his eyes widening with embarrassed horror at his own violence. He rarely dishes out the kind of punishment he takes”

Another Movie Classic that I haven't seen in years.
Growing up; the Rocky series was a big thing in my family.
The second movie is definitely one of the stronger movies out of the entire franchise.

My brother-in-law has a Thing where he gives me increasingly rare copies of The Bee Movie and it’s long since gone from “Goofy running gag” to “I don’t know how much money he’s willing to commit to this bit and it Scares Me.”
Where the fuck can we go from here
#my life#bee movie#he’s already given me the academy For Your Consideration copy#and copies in greek mandarin and korean#AND copies of the bee movie video game AND pez dispensers AND christmas ornaments#AND bee movie converse sneakers distributed only to members of the cast and crew#at this point i fully expect to find the severed head of jerry seinfeld in a box this christmas#10k#20k

In the original novel of "The Wizard of Oz" the slippers were silver but for the 1939 film they changed the slippers to ruby as they were more vibrant on screen, especially against the yellow brick road. The film adaptation of "Wicked" has a little nod to the ruby slippers, which became iconic in their own right. The Wizard of Oz (1939) | Wicked (2024)

can we start placing bets about the live action voltron movie. everyone download draftkings right now
#shitpost#voltron#I’m pretty sure they’re adapting the original anime so like who knows what’s going to happen#I feel like they’re not going to make Allura a Paladin and they’ll like tease it in the lead up to the movie but they won’t actually do it#they’ll probably save making Allura a Paladin in the sequel that will never happen because this movie is going to die at the box office#I think they’re going to make all the paladins white or white passing with maybe the exception of hunk#I do think they’ll make Allura a woman of color but the vibes are going to be soooo weird I am already praying for her future actress#also I guarantee there will be romantic tension between Allura and keith and then conservatives are going to post rage bait articles#about them being a mixed race couple

it's destabilizing my worldview that according to all reports the wicked movie is actually good. what do you mean. big-budget star-studded movie adaptations of hit stage musicals are supposed to be bad. that is the way of the world. I think this is one of the seals of the apocalypse. they need to get back on set and film a version that's bad Right now.
#movie musicals can only be good if they're box office flops with little wide appeal. stop this madness.#marina marvels at life
