TV/Movies Megathread

[celedhring]

That's the thing with The Untouchables - I think he is trying to do an Irish one

The best part is that he got an Oscar for it 

I mean, probably a feelgood Oscar since IIRC this film kickstarted his late career revival. He had made a bunch of interesting films in the 1970s, but he had failed to get post-Bond hits.

Thinking on what would be my favorite non-Bond Connery role... either The Man Who Would Be King or The Name of the Rose.

[Sheilbh]

He's terrific in The Name of the Rose (as an Englishman ).

[HVC]

I'm partial to his Russian role. A real fuck yoy to the casting person and director

[Threviel]

Tried to watch The Man From Toronto.  Mistaken identity, Buddy Harrelson is the expert interogator for criminal hire, Kevin Hart doing Kevin Hart.  Gave up.

Ditto.

Watched the trailer, seems like a bad re-make of If looks could kill.

Last Crusade?

Last Crusade?

He slays that role, but I give the edge to King/Rose because he's the lead in those films.

Spielberg had the good sense of having him play a Scot, for a change.

Dr Strange, Multiverse of Madness - I'm surprised this film came on Disney so fast. It seems just a month ago it was at the cinema.
It's... Meh. OK. But doesn't deliver what the title promises. I expected lots of inceptiony dimension hopping weirdness, instead you just see 3 universes and flashes of others.
Watching it I couldn't help but notice all the zombie stuff going on, said "the guy who made this must love zombie movies"... And sure enough it's Sam Raimi.
Very bloody for a marvel film.
Speaking of which... I liked the cameos from other heroes. Weird they were able to do this here given the legal situation. Could have made more of them though.

[Sheilbh]

It is very meh - I mean it's a bit more Sam Raimi-y than I expected for Marvel which is a good thing. But still...

I thought Jones was a Welsh name.

The name originated in Wales but Wales is only the place where it is most commonly found; it appears in many other countries.  I know a Jones who, as far as he knows, has no Welsh ancestry at all.  It's all English.

[The Brain]

Which movie is that?

I agree the film is middling, but the last act is really great. I mean, you have the protagonist possess his own dead body, I think that's a first for Marvel movies

Hunt for Red October probably.

IIRC he played a Lithuanian in that movie.
