Hancock
Directed by Peter Berg
Hancock is a down-and-out superhero who's forced to employ a PR expert to help repair his image when the public grows weary of all the damage he's inflicted during his lifesaving heroics. The agent's idea of imprisoning the antihero to make the world miss him proves successful, but will Hancock stick to his new sense of purpose or slip back into old habits? From TMDB

60 of 218 · most liked firstBorn 29 April 1958, actress Michelle Pfeiffer. She began her acting career with minor tv & film appearances, & had her first leading role in the commercially unsuccessful Grease 2. Her breakout role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983) gave her mainstream success. #MichellePfeiffer

I do it all the time with pseudoarchaeologists like Graham Hancock But Nolan's not that. He clearly made the film in good faith. He's repeatedly drawn attention to scholarship and real history /9

neutral · AI labelView post →The one shot where the kid force-moved a broom handle gave me *HOPE* for the next movie. There are few movies that I get *angry* about, but TRoS and Hancock are two of them, for somewhat similar reasons.
negative · AI labelView post →One of my favorite novels and movies, the movie is cool and you should watch it partly because Herbie Hancock did the soundtrack. The novel is great for one of the most visceral passages I’ve seen written about the exploitation of Black people as seen through pawn shops later targeted in an uprising

Lucas & Golding named it after Herbie Hancock who they assumed played piano on Miles Davis' Basin Street Blues. It was actually Victor Feldman

neutral · AI labelView post →Idk if you ever saw that weird Will Smith superhero flick Hancock, but part way through the movie, Charlize Theron is revealed to also be a Hancock and after that, all I could think about was how much I'd have utterly folded if their roles were reversed and she was a misanthropic loner with a temper
