    I just remembered this interview with Schwarzenegger when he was promoting that movie Collateral Damage and the reporter asked him what the movie was about and he stopped to think for like 10 seconds and said "Well it's about Collateral Damage" and I laughed about it for a week

    TIL Tim and Tyne Daly are brother/sister. Also, Marvel has completely wasted Tyne Daly and the Damage Control concept to one mention in a Spider-Man movie.

    I can't explain everything in 300 characters. But here is one example. You said Jean restricted raging Hulk to the Damage Control building. This is factually false in the movie, it was Spiderman who did that. This plus many others and phrasing is the big issue.

    Like there are so many entirely forgettable “wow” shots even in the first few minutes of the first movie. It’s so jarringly different from LOTR and his previous films. There’s a link between the director of Brain Damage and LOTR. But the Hobbit feels off.

    DARKMAN is a fairly solid comp for this film but maybe even better are its sort of the halfway point between UPGRADE and BRAIN DAMAGE. There is some fairly gnarly gore stuff in this.

    The Hebrew phrase נזק אגבי (Nezek Agavi) translates to collateral damage in English. But they didn’t call their movie “Collateral Damage” in English for some reason. Hmmm, I think I literally can put my finger on it by placing it over the right side and crossbar in the A at the end! 👆

    Jeremy Irons is a happily married (to Miranda Richardson) British government minister who meets his usually quite rakish son's (Rupert Graves) latest girlfriend (Juliette Binoche). The two click immediately - and soon they are doing a lot more than just clicking. That's about it - they carry out their clandestine liaison with all it's concomitant risks and thrills before an ending that I really thought underwhelming. This is one of the frequently wooden Irons' better efforts, Graves still has…

    Harrowing movie, Juliette Binoche and Jeremy Irons have great chemistry. It’s a very ‘arty’ film . But it leaves you feeling queasy when you realize the consequences. Good show!
