My man Clancy Brown provides the voice of Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok. That's his second time appearing in a super-hero movie as a towering CGI boss-monster with cosmic powers. And Taika Waititi was in that other one too.

Clancy Brown is in and voices EVERYTHING. He's got an amazing voice for voice work. He's up there with Peter Cullen, Frank Weller, Tony Todd, Keith David, etc...
 
I was watching a vid on Winona Ryder's best roles, and suddenly noticed that, well...

you gotta admit :whatever:

Well, Millie is gonna be absolutely beautiful when she grows up. Of course I better not say that. It automatically means I'm sexualizing her. :rolleyes:
 
I saw this on Twitter and whoa...

Ansel Elgort. Alden Ehrenreich. Asa Butterfield. A lot of up-and-coming dudes in Hollywood with unusual names. Names that all start with A.
 
Theres alot of odd stuff Ive learned about and see in movies i saw years and years ago involving actors

Sarah Michelle Geller cameoing as Buffy in She's All That. the cafeteria scene

apparently Arnold Schwarzenneger while Governor years ago, just couldnt "quit" acting since he popped up in a few monvies such as the Jackie Chan movie Around the World in 80 Days and The Rundown

Colin Farrel the new next best thing liked to cuss and swear in interviews etc

Still weird to learn that Kevin Bacon doesnt even watch his own movies from back in the day except maybe for Tremors I guess?

SMG wasn’t playing Buffy in that scene, she was just a student in the cafeteria.

And Arnold hadn’t taken office yet when Around The World In 80 Days and The Rundown came out. He was only planning on running for governor at the time.
 
The really tall alien in Men in Black played Lurch in The Addams Family.

The really tall alien in Men in Black played Lurch in The Addams Family.

Carel Struycken, also played Terak in Battle for Endor (the guy in back).

And more TV related, like the Lurch before him (Ted Cassidy), Carel Struycken also had a role in Star Trek (TNG).

Also totally off-topic, but the original Lurch had a dance craze-

Chuck vs. the Couch Lock (4x05 - 2010)

Casey's (Adam Baldwin) team: Eric Roberts, Joel David Moore, & David Bautista

So many cameos in Chuck.
 
With Hollywood hunting for the next "shared universe", it recently hit me that a studio could...theoretically...do a set of movies set in the same universe...starring some well-known public domain characters...and they would all be working up to...a new updated version of...The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. They won't of course, and they honestly probably shouldn't...but wouldn't that be wild?
 
Not to long ago I got to thinking about the Hannibal Lecter film franchise. Jodie Foster opting out of Hannibal is one of my favorite examples of the unstoppable Hollywood machine.

Suddenly I realized that the reason Foster was even able to walk away was because Silence of the Lambs didn't have a sequel clause. If you're not familiar, the release schedule for the novels and the film adaptations was pretty much book-movie-book-movie-book-movie-etc. And with Silence, while it is an extremely faithful adaptation, one thing they cut out was any direct reference to Red Dragon, or its film Manhunter. Even though it was technically a sequel (with none of the same actors), nobody was really looking at it as a franchise yet; they just set out to make the best standalone movie they could. Nevermind that the next book was a long way from even being written.

It struck me what a stark reversal this is of where Hollywood is at now, where everything has to end in a cliffhanger or set the stage for some clunky shared universe.
 
Don't ever forget that Michael Shannon was in 8 Mile.

Sweet home, Alabama! You got a cigarette?
 
in Iron Man 2 when Stark and Rhodey are fighting in the suits and crash through the ceiling "Natalie" strikes a defensive pose.
 
In The Phantom Menace at the start of the pod race there is a slave girl with blue hair next to Jabba wearing the same design bikini Leia would be wearing in Return of the Jedi.
 
When DeVito's stunt double finally hits the water at the end of Batman Returns, the board he was lying on shoots out from under him.
 
Jon Favreau directed Iron Man (and Iron Man 2), then later directed The Jungle Book. Kenneth Branaugh directed Thor, then later directed Cinderella. So if you've done an MCU movie, you're on the shortlist to do Disney's next live-action revival.
 
Watching Batman V Superman, when Bruce was talking to the guy on the phone at the beginning of the movie, I never noticed you could see Superman crash into the building. I knew that he had crashed and used his eye beams, but I always thought that was done off camera.

Beauty and the Beast could have been a lot better if James Gunn had directed it. :o

That wasn't Superman. It was Zod that used his heat vision.

wow thats interesting.

I just realized after watching in the Sing movie. When the ape tries to rush to do his rehearsal and then drives back to pick up his dad and other apes from robbing a place...he gets stuck in traffic. I just realized the traffic he is stuck in is because he caused the accident on the way to the rehearsal

Yep. Here is a fan edit that combines the climax from Man of Steel with the opening scene of BvS.

And there was also a poster that said "Keep calm and call Batman" behind Superman when the building was collapsing and one of Bruce's employee's was on the phone with him at the same time.

Also at the end of Dark Knight Rises, as Batman flies the bomb out to sea, with no auto-pilot, shown still in the Bat 5 sec. before detonation and nowhere to eject to outside the explosion radius, if you squint, you can see Superman fly in out of nowhere to save him!

Orlando Bloom is literally the only actor from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies who played a major role as an elf who has not yet been in a Marvel movie.

Liv Tyler (Arwen) was Betty Ross, Hugo Weaving (Elrond) was Red Skull, Lee Pace (Thranduil) was Ronan, Evangeline Lilly (Tauriel) is Janet Van Dyne/Wasp and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) is Hela.
what about Haldir?
