Jean Reno actually passed on playing Agent John Smith in The Matrix.

If they stick with this lineup, Brazil is the clear favorite for the 2006 World Cup. I mean, look at the roster. When you've got Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Adriano, and Did along with the rest, you’re basically unbeatable. They have to be the number one pick.

Back when Eddie Murphy was actually out there killing it as a comedian... 👍

Brazil and the Netherlands. (The whole tulip thing is a pipe dream, but I’m still holding out hope...) 😁

Maybe this is slightly off topic... but I caught "Replicant" tonight. You've got Jean-Claude Van Damme playing two different roles. It was absolute garbage. 😁

Here’s another one...
Timecop
starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. It’s so incredibly stupid that I actually love it. Check out this dialogue:

-Van Damme: Freeze!

-Villain: That's a very inappropriate use of words. Do I look frozen to you?

-Van Damme: You look like shit to me. Now put down your weapons!🙄

Joseph Thomas4 said:You're spot on. Those guys are heavyweights. I’d throw Luc Lambert into that mix too, and then you've got a massive trio of talent right there.

It’s more than just Luc Lambert... don't even go there. You could fill an entire NFL roster with names like that. Arnie, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris... 🙄

Legends living large in my heart (and yours, hopefully).

Seriously, what is happening to the world? The 80s and early 90s were loaded with such incredibly hilarious, cult-classic action flicks, but now we’re stuck with garbage like Charlie's Angels... My god, what happened to us?😢

Tango & Cash is just too brilliantly stupid not to be a total cult classic. And don't even get me started on Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Give me a break... Which character from LOTR would actually win a hypothetical sword fight against Achilles or Hector—assuming we leave out magic and giant elephants? Sure, LOTR might look pretty, but all those characters are softies who can't even die properly. 😁

Richard Howard2 said:Commando is basically a masterpiece. It’s intentional trash, just like those John Carpenter flicks (Escape from L.A., Ghost of Mars, Big Crowd...). They're pure fun and totally over-the-top. They aren't dumb—only people who don't get it think they're dumb, mostly because they assume the movie was trying to be serious.

Man, they're airing Escape from L.A. on Channel A this Monday. "Call Me Snake!"👍
Nah, it doesn't hold a candle to Commando. Commando is the absolute gold standard.😁

Commando. There’s just no competition. I mean, sure, Dumb and Dumber had a way bigger budget, but that doesn't mean it can compete with a masterpiece of stupidity.

Absolutely. The Vieri we see today isn't even close to the guy from two years ago. I wouldn't just bench him; I’d ship him off to Chelsea in a heartbeat. That’s who they actually needed to bring in, while keeping Crespo. As for Christian Zanetti, you could toss him into a trash bin for all the good he does—he's basically worthless right now.

Richard Howard2 said:The effects are there. 100% 😉

Do a little digging online and look up how they actually filmed this.

Honestly, that just makes the movie better. It bumps up the score. Though... they probably would've saved a ton of cash if they'd just convinced him to show up and do his job properly.😛

- Samuel L. Jackson
😁

That guy could turn literal garbage into gold. Absolute legend.

Wouldn't it have been way easier to just call Clinton and ask him to hop in front of a camera and ramble for a bit? I highly doubt those were actual special effects. Since Kennedy was dead, they obviously had to "bring him back to life" just to make the movie work.

Someone clearly lit a candle at a local chapel for the New York Yankees. They finally got rid of that absolute disaster. 👍

A movie where the director actually manages to get a real American president to play himself can't be half bad. Still, it feels a bit naive of me to think they built that machine so quickly...

Futurism is more about stuff that actually has a shot at happening down the road, and honestly, you don't even need high-tech gadgets for that. I’d throw disaster flicks in there too—you know, those movies where a comet decides to wreck everything. Sci-Fi is different. It deals with things we aren't even remotely close to achieving scientifically (like Star Trek) or things that are just pure fiction (like Star Wars). Futurism brushes up against reality, while Sci-Fi pretty much ignores it. That's my take on it...

I really hope casualpuma71 isn't playing those backroom games with "you-know-who." If he is, I'm done. It’s like people think we're electing the President of the United States instead of just a regular moderator.

Don't start a fight... I thought we were getting a day off. Oh, man... there’s a video out, and honestly, our guys probably won't make it through either...😁 And hey, maybe our team will end up in B1 instead. 🙄
