Must See Movies

Apollo Creed -“Can he swim?”

Paulie - “With a name like Rock?”

 

[Cotton]

Yep. He rocked that role.

Yes he did. RIP

 

[Genghis Khan]

RIP Paulie

 

[Rev]

He was actually a professional boxer.

 

[boozeman]

he nailed it as sad sack Paulie

I thought he was 83 back when the movie first came out in 1976.

So you are basically telling me he was 36 when that movie came out?

Everyone looked older back then, probably due to smoking and no sun screen. Time served in the military could age a guy as well.

They show episodes of Adam-12 and Emergency! every night and they will describe someone as being in their mid-late 30’s when they look 50-60.

Perhaps you are right.

Old photographs really show that. And damn if the women mostly look like men.

I remember reading The Great Gatsby and thinking that Daisy sounded hot.

Later it occurred to me that it was set in the 1920s and she probably looked like Eleanor Roosevelt.

When grandma was like 51 and looked like an 87 year old gangster.

Watched Old Dads on Netflix today. The woke crowd won’t like it. Bill Burr is hilarious. Most here would likely get a kick out of it

Was watching the original Longest Yard on Pluto, and they left all the N words in there. And not just the black guys saying it to each other, either. Kind of jarring. But it is good to see the original, I guess. Until now, I'd only seen that show on Saturday afternoon tv when it was all cleaned up.

Just thought that was kind of crazy in this day and age.

Why should they edit that out?

Not saying they should. I'm saying it's weird to hear that in a day and age when people lose their careers for reading that word off a page that was written by someone else, or singing the lyrics to a song they didn't write.

I've seen a lot of modern movies with white actors still letting the N word fly.

I think most people are smart enough to understand that an actor saying it for a role is no big deal. Of course you're always going to have a few hypersensitive people that like to take things to the extreme, but that's the very small minority from what I've observed.

It's sort of like when the ultra-woke 'tards discovered that Robert Downey Jr played a black character in Tropic Thunder 15 years ago. They tried to raise a stink about it but most people just rolled their eyes at them and told them to STFU.

Wow, really? I wasn't aware of that. But then I'm not a movie guy so I guess I wouldn't know.

Nobody could play Kirk Lazurus today. It would not be allowed.

What happens first? A return of Kirk Lazarus or White Chicks 2?

 

[bbgun]

they'll have to use the n-word if it's a period piece
