That guy seems like a dunce too tbf, the reason the line was memed was because of how clunky it is not because it’s confusing out of context

Johnson was fine in her short-lived sitcom with Nat Faxon, tbh mid-level sitcom is probably more the lane she should have stayed in.

Dakota Johnson + Elvis's granddaughter in a remake of Thelma & Louise - you can send me a check or Venmo to get this project going, Hollywood

Who can be the nepobaby Brad Pitt?

Will Smith's kid?

Bon Jovi’s kid

I never saw the 50 Shades movies but she seemed like an odd casting choice

I think I did a good job editing this movie considering I was playing Counter Strike on my primary monitor the entire time https://t.co/kURVFcSVQh

had to keep rewatching the first 5 seconds like wtf are there two of her or what

keeping their powder dry for twist3r

― memphis milano: the new trend of the 80s (bizarro gazzara)

starring a femboy who still manages to pass better than i do

Pretty reliable track record that makes it unlikely any film he’s wrapped wouldn’t complete post, let alone in that time frame, I reckon.

I'm not questioning Scott's ability to get it done, I'm aghast at the entire idea.

I think I already voted in this and can’t remember my vote

But now I feel passionately that the correct answer is The Fall Guy, a show that barely existed even when it was a going concern

The Fall Guy was huge in the UK

I have an unexplainable fondness for The Fall Guy but I don't remember ever seeing an actual episode just memories of the intro where he's bombing around in his baby shit brown lifted pickup.

good theme song iirc

Road House definitely has a chance to bomb spectacularly only if because the original's charm is the merging of nonsensical, bizarre material with po-faced delivery. even if they recreate Ben Gazarra's unhinged driving to "Sh-Boom", or deliver new things that are equally batty, it'll feel forced.

part of me feels like Swayze was about the only lead who could play Dalton and give it the ott commitment that ridiculous role required

I'm going with Harold and the Purple Crayon...I know Kal Penn has retired from acting but it's just mean to replace him with a crayon

fond memories of texting a friend and asking if he wanted to see TAKEN 3 and he responded "only if the poster says TAK3N"

needless to say, yup

father why have you 4taken me

I remember watching The Fall Guy a lot as a kid, probably because it was on.

But tbf, the film has a solid cast (anchored by two leads each nominated for an Oscar this year), and the director can be pretty smart with big and dumb. I won't see it, but I'd see it before, like, "Twisters."

david leitch has never made a good movie

let alone “smart with big and dumb”

Josh has previously confused Leitch with Stahelski

i guess every attempt bullet train made to seem smart and self-reflexive made it aggressively dumber and more irritating, that takes work, talent even

i'll give him this. he was the right guy for deadpool 2

Fall Guy was one of my favorite shows when I was 4. I don't remember anything about it. Might still have my toy truck around here somewhere.

want to know something funny?

I read that Ryan Gosling was going to be in The Fall Guy the other day and in my tired state, I got it mixed up with the video game Fall Guys and thought "oh, guess that makes sense after Barbie"

I was slightly older but same

The Fall Guy

If it could only be a remake of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020869/....

and then a movie about an eccentric millionaire who has a ranch full of horses.

The Foal Guy

I used to watch The Fall Guy all the time (along with other 80s imported US action shows like The A-Team, Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Knight Rider etc etc)

Haven't seen it in almost 40 years but could still probably sing most of the theme tune

Actually, was Blue Thunder a show or a movie? Or was it both?

A movie and then a show, I think

It was both. (The TV show starred Dana Carvey, believe it or not.) But the show was a failure and only lasted 11 episodes, unlike Airwolf, which ran for four seasons.

Has the "a guy and a vehicle" genre ever been given the prestige tv treatment?

It's unmined territory, much like the talking horse genre

the Fall Guy theme song is indeed a banger. i actually thought the trailer looked entertaining, not that i watch any of this shit, but there was a refreshingly old school "real cars doing jumps and flips" vibe to it

xp - I feel like Poker Face nearly touched on that genre with the Barracuda she drove around.

Then a spinoff for Monty Python's Mr Creosote...The Full Guy?

I read that Ryan Gosling was going to be in The Fall Guy the other day and in my tired state, I got it mixed up with the video game Fall Guys and thought "oh, guess that makes sense after Barbie"

yeah, I also misread this and assumed they were making a "Fall Guys" movie (my kids have played that game a lot) and honestly didn't give it a second thought, I mean why not make a Fall Guys movie at this point.

I guess the Fall Guy was on TV when I was a little kid, but I don't remember ever having watched it.
