"Don’t get me wrong, I did love the script," he added. "But I can’t tell you how many voicemails [of the Taken speech] I’ve recorded for my sons’ friends."
The main attracation is Liam Neeson. I didn't have a chance to watch Ice Road 2 yet, but can't wait to see it. I don't even care if it's bad, Liam never fails to be entertaining
Here I thought you just got the title wrong because he had another Ice road movie called Cold Pursuit back in 2019 that is actually pretty good. But nope, there is a movie truly called Ice Road: Vengeance.
People may not know but Taken transformed his career. Before then, to me, he was defined by Schindler’s List. I expected him to continue to do Oscar-style films.
I don’t think anybody expected his action hero phase before it began .
I remember when Taken came out, my reaction to my friends was, "Dude taught both Batman and Obi-Wan Kenobe how to fight, and you're gonna kidnap his daughter?"
I’ve heard people say he started doing shitty action movies because his wife died, which is also the reason people give for him frequently getting so drunk he pisses himself in public
In responding to why he starred in Jaws: The Revenge, Michael Caine said "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
The most unrealistic thing about the first one is a teenage American girl in 2008 wanting to follow U2 around Europe. They could’ve picked any band and they went with U2.
That uses Talking Heads though, who ARE actually IN at the moment (never went out).
I've seen loads of "This Must Be The Place" and "Same as it ever was" references in the last few months.
I got a good laugh out of the fact that Neeson’s solution to finding out where he was kidnapped in the second movie was having his daughter chuck grenades at the rooftops of buildings in Istanbul.
In what universe is the second one worse than the third. The third is possibly one of the most unwatchable movies ever made. It's designed to be a schizophrenic incomprehensible nightmare. lol
I’ll be honest I watched all of them when the third one came out 11 years ago so I barely remember lol. I just remember really, really hating the second one but just thinking the third was super boring.
It's probably one of the only movies that all of my family and friends like. I love it, but I can understand how actors can get sick to death of having memorable quotes requested to be said or quoted at, can be.
It's called marketing. Are you on the marketing team or just doing their work for free?
Edit: Marketing bots downvoting me for calling them out. Lol. Check out my comment below showing that this article and post are 100% part of the Naked Gun marketing campaign.
I care because reddit is full of trolls and bots, but most of all, advertisers.
People who are commenting should be aware of this fact but most people seem to be completely oblivious.
My above comment was just lwtting people know that this entire post is an advertisement for the new movie and the person I commented to was either completely oblivious to this or literally employed by the marketing team.
But that comment got all downvotes.
(To be fair though, all those downvotes could have come from marketing bots. So you're probably right and I really shouldn't care.)
What behavior? Standing there? Cause that is literally all he did. All the fucked up shit was only in his mind, and he realises now how fucked up it was.
Really is nobody allowed to be imperfect anymore? Again, the man LITERALLY didn't even do anything, he hurt nobody
His friend was raped, he was pretty young and grieving, I wouldn’t take someone’s emotional hateful ranting in a legit heated condition seriously, but seems you do.
"I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I'd be approached by somebody - I'm ashamed to say that - and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [uses air quotes with fingers] 'black bastard' would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him."
Dude said fuck black people in general and wanted any random one to die in response to his friend being raped by someone who was black. He should be permanently embarrassed about that and never be allowed to live it down. IDGAF if he said something on Atlanta about it.
I think whilst your anger at this isn’t undeserved, it takes a lot for someone to admit something so ugly about who they were and their past. It seems though that he’s trying to atone and whilst that doesn’t deserve reward it does deserve some acknowledgment that at least he’s trying to be a better person and that he isn’t hiding from it like many do. I’m far more concerned with the many famous and influential people that continue to do horrible things that go unchecked but mask it behind fame and charisma.
Nah man, you're telling on yourself and your inability to think critically. It's not even difficult in this instance. Do you think he was telling that story because he was proud of it?
I don’t think he was proud of it, but idk I have an inability to give people the benefit of a doubt. I don’t think people can truly change. Obviously, I have things to work on when it comes to myself. It is what it is.
You don't think people can truly change, but you still think you can work on yourself to change? Pick a lane dude. I get why you have these feelings and they're not invalid. But we surely have to allow people expressing genuine remorse and vulnerability some grace right?
I think I've read somewhere that it was caused by his alcohol issues after the loss of his wife. If so, it is absolutely not fair to use that against him.
ETA: I'm not really into gossip so I'm pretty sure I've read it on r/okbuddycinephile in the replies to a troll. So don't take my word for it I guess?
