    "Heroes" by David Bowie has been played in entirely too many movies When I saw a movie called "We Can Be Heroes", I just about lost it

    [200] WE CAN BE HEROES – ★★☆☆☆ this movie dares to ask the question, "what if that one episode of ben 10 where ben goes rogue for the purposes of testing the plumbers-in-training was badly-written". this is technically a sequel to sharkboy and lavagirl but they show up for like 5 minutes total

    Edith’s discovered the Robert Rodriguez film, We Can Be Heroes (2020). It’s a shame Marvel and DC don’t produce any films expressly for younger children (4-8)

    Watched "We Can Be Heroes". Rodriguez film, so it's kinda Spy Kids with superheroes. Loads of celebs, sledgehammer messaging, silly nonsense for kids (as expected). Too many heroes lets it down, but otherwise good for a bit of fun. #filmsky www.imdb.com/title/tt1060...

    For this year's SIFF Fest in Seattle, I helped review a few films. We Can Be Heroes will screen on Friday in person, and my other faves, Grasshopper Republic and the Primevals, will be part of the fest's online edition (their in-person screenings have passed, whoops). I recommend watching all three!

    We're going to need a double-page spread for all the Old Heroes coming out of nowhere to deliver Facebook the beating it deserves. USENET gonna grapple Xitter to the ground and tear its throat out with its teeth. Play Bowie's 'We Can Be Heroes' over top of the movie version.

    Sat down for a film with the kids. Could I persuade them to watch a new film or one we haven’t seen much? Course not. We Can Be Heroes for the billionth time. I wouldn’t mind but it’s not a film that gets better the more you watch it.

    I just saw the slate of the brooklyn film fest for this year. It has some incredible films including WE CAN BE HEROES. If you were an outsider growing up you will ache to have sent your younger selves to this camp brooklynfilmfestival.org/film-detail?...

    I love how Austin this movie is (matched maybe only by We Can Be Heroes by Robert Rodriguez lol) and feel a little thrill any time I recognize anything from Austin

    Man... Priyanka Chopra-Jonas is so fucking beautiful. Even in a silly movie like We Can Be Heroes, she is just radiant.

    Smallest cub has taken to watching this pre-teen superhero movie on Netflix called We Can Be Heroes (Pedro Pascal is in it, woof) and I can confidently say that it contains the worst Bowie cover ever recorded, it might, in fact be the worst cover version of any song ever.

    We Can Be Heroes: Was alright? Probably because I don't have nostalgia like some other kids movies, I think it is definitely a good movie for kids, the Lavagirl/Sharkboy return was funny. Disabled rep, variety for the main group, just sad it's another "mute character isn't mute! haha! :)" media.

    Just pointing out for the Marvel nerds: If you haven't seen We Can Be Heroes (and why would you?), that's the movie where Pedro has some Reed Richards energy. For real. (Also, of course I've seen We Can Be Heroes. It has Pedro + my #1 90's crush Christian Slater in it.)
