Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 2

[Speedball]

Jake Gillenhal...(however it's spelt)..... has been the on screen lover of both Joker and Catwoman

He's also the sister of the second Rachel Dawes. He also auditioned to be Batman, which would have made the Dark Knight very awkward to watch...

I've seen Star Trek 09 several times, and never recognized Jennifer Morrison as Kirk's mother.

Also didn't know her name in the movie is Winona...so Kirk's mom is a Winona, and Spock's mom is a Winona...

In related realizations, Tom Cruise has been married to 2 Batman love interests.

This is all TV related acually, but Aaron Paul who plays Jesse on Breaking Bad is in the 5th episode of the 9th season of the X-files, Lord of the Flies. He's the guy making the fake Jackass video.

Joss Whedon was one of the screenwriters for Toy Story.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

he was also a writer on the first x men movie. he's contribution was everybody's FAVORITE storm line"what happens to toad that's struck by lightning? the same thing that happens to everything else."

To be fair, the way it was delivered in that movie was entirely different from the way Joss Whedon intended it to be delivered, so that's part of the reason why it sound so bad.

Whedon also contributed the exchange between Wolverine and Cyclops:

Wolverine: "You're a d***."

Cyclops: (takes hand away from visor laser eye release button) "....Ok."

and I went into this before on the boards, but I am not quite sure *how* Whedon would have wanted that Toad line delivered to make such a joke work.
The expected punchline to that joke is '..it croaks.'...so maybe he was subverting the expected line by having Storm saying something else, like, something that points out the obvious, with no punchline, and that was why it was supposed to be funny.
He has never said how it was supposed to be delivered, so I can only guess at how the joke was meant to work, but I don't think that joke is well known enough to work on an audience really. It's not like the chicken crossing the road gag, whose punchline 'to get to the other side' is the opposite kind of punchline to the toad one, but the same as the Storm subversion version in X-Men, where it is a pointing out the obvious 'punchline', with no word play.


and in other news....I noticed that the cop who has Kate as a prisoner in Lost, was the guy who Pierce Brosnan's Bond uses as a human grappling hook, so he can jump out of the window, in The World is not Enough.

Daniel Craig plays US treasure hunter Alex West in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie. I find it funny that a US actress plays a UK character and a UK actor plays a US character .

In Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, when Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg enter the Kremlin after getting their passes accepted , as soon as they start walking the villain, Michael Nyquist is standing right there talking on the a cell phone

The girl who plays Roxy Richter in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, also played the President's daughter in Independence Day.

Watch Parenthood...

She's a very underrated actress.

In Batman(1989) young Jack Napier has blue eyes, whereas older Jack Napier/Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) has hazel eyes.

Flubber is disguised as a kids comedy, but it's truly a character study of a man who genuinely doesn't care about any other human being. How he rationales his behavior is that his inventions are going to change the world someday. He keeps telling himself that his girlfriend will stay with him if he can just get the right invention, but he never bothers to work on his relationship with her. He doesn't really want to get married or spend time with another living being.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Flubber is freaking underrated as hell

I just learned that Famke Janssen was originally cast as the villain in Men in Black II, but had to drop out. She probably would have made that movie a lot better.

 

[Dave McFly]

I also remember that Dougray Scott was supposed to be Wolverine but had to drop out cause of an injury I think when he was making Mission Impossible 2.

the one reason i hated that movie is because of the villain, that would have definitely been a better choice.

You know, I'm pretty sure Hulk says "NO!" on the table when he's injected with the antidote in The Incredible Hulk.

Just watched Old School and I noticed both Simon Helberg/Howard Wolowitz (from the Big Bang Theory) and Terry O Quinn/John Locke (from Lost) are there.

In their defense they don't even know who he is because Ethan walks right past him later on. I can't believe I saw that movie 3 times in theatres and didn't notice.
