You know. 86 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.720 Don't knock until you tried it, really Yeah, yeah, I 87 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.720 thought the same thing. And I first heard that in 88 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.279 pulp fiction, you know, and then when I went over 89 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.560 to Europe, tried it and I was like, oh, I 90 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:47.959 get it. 91 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:50.920 A color me intrigued. 92 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.959 Think of it like an aoli interesting. 93 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.639 Yeah. See, now this discussion you and I just had, 94 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.639 I'd like to think that this is what Rick O'Connell 95 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.399 Evelyn O'Connell talk about. When that's the thing. 96 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.439 We don't see them traveling so much when they're going 97 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.879 from place to place. What are they talking about when 98 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.160 they're on the dirigible or whatever, you. 99 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.240 Know, when they're when they're not making google eyes at 100 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:17.079 each other. Yeah, yeah, but hey, let's just get right 101 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.240 into the movie. Let's do it all right. So we 102 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.600 are watching two thousand and ones The Mummy Returns. There's 103 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.920 only one cut. It is the theatrical cut. Having watched 104 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.879 the movie just recently, I feel like a special edition 105 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.800 might have been warranted at some point in the last 106 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.360 twenty five years. But hm, you know, like special like 107 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.480 George Lucas style, oh. 108 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.079 To to sort of plus the visual effects. Yeah, you know, 109 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.000 just a thought or player or update, I should say. 110 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.040 Yeah, you know, workout, work out the kinks. 111 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.160 This definitely is like a marker in time in terms 112 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.199 of visual effects, like digital effects. 113 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.879 It is extremely two thousand and one. Yeah, and I 114 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.560 mean the year, not the movie. 115 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.519 Right, right, esoteric and penetrable. 116 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.480 Maybe all right, so we'll do the usual thing. We'll 117 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.199 hit play on three one two three, Play ready, Brian, 118 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:15.360 I'm ready. Here we go one two three, play all right, Universal, 119 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.680 Well right up top as we see the Universal logo, 120 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.360 Actually we hear, we hear the chords of Alan Silvestri's music. 121 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.040 I really like Alan Silvestri's score for this one. M hm. 122 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.519 And and he came in to score the sequel because 123 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.680 Jerry Goldsmith wanted nothing to do with the sequel. Did 124 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.639 you read this story? I did not. 125 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.439 So apparently he was doing a concert in London in 126 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.120 the two thousand and uh He's like, hey, and I'm 127 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.639 gonna do there's the score from The Mummy. And Goldsmith 128 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.040 said that he basically hated the movie and called it 129 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.160 quote a piece of shit movie. And apparently Stephen Summers 130 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.240 was in the audience. Wow, And so Goldsmith wasn't called back. 131 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.319 That makes me feel bad for Stephen Summers me too, 132 00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:58.560 you know. 133 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.199 It's it's I feel like it's a strange thing to 134 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.720 be putting on a show and playing a song and 135 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.720 then sort of you've got to assume people are there 136 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.759 because they like the song, and if they like the song, 137 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.920 they probably like the movie, So why would you knock 138 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.839 the thing that the people they probably love. 139 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.480 Yeah, seems like kind of a funny thing. Now, I 140 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.439 have to say I have not seen this movie a 141 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.560 ton of times in the last twenty five years, but 142 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.639 weirdly I haven't committed to memory that the Rocks. One 143 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.839 line in this movie is ha cool. 144 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.040 Macente, Oh funny. 145 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.279 I don't know why I know that. 146 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.360 I think I rewatched this last night, probably for the 147 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.879 first time since I saw it back. 148 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.600 In two thousand and one. Wow. Okay, yeah, but. 149 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.360 I've seen the rock as the Scorpion King a lot, 150 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.560 because that would come up a lot in top ten 151 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.680 lists of like worst famously terrible visuals and terrible CGI effects. Yeah, 152 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.000 but you know, to be fair to the artist, apparently 153 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.519 they didn't have a lot of time to do it. 154 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.519 It's very early in the era of doing this sort 155 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.800 of thing, like full CGI characters, I mean we had, 156 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.160 I mean, I guess technically the first fully CGI character 157 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:20.079 was that stained glass window man for just fifteen years earlier. Yeah, 158 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.920 and then really the first like main character in a 159 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.439 film fully CGI I think is jar Jar Binks. 160 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.480 I would say Charger. Yeah you might. You might say 161 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.920 Kasper perhaps. 162 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.000 Oh yeah, no, that's true, that's true, But he does, 163 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.759 I mean, and that's true in full. 164 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.519 Casper is still a cartoon. A cartoon. 165 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.320 He doesn't have like a lot of detailed features. 166 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:46.279 Yeah, yeah, but still impressive. Yeah. I think with this film, 167 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:53.200 the reach was greater than the grasp for sure, right 168 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.080 in terms of the effect. So you can sort of 169 00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.440 admire the swing. But I think Stephen Summers, who you know, 170 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.679 one presumes he did not think the first movie was 171 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.960 a piece of shit, despite what cultsated, but you know 172 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.879 the way, no, no, And I will say I I 173 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.799 think I think the first film benefits from restraint, right yeah. Uh, 174 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.840 and that's certainly really underscored for me having watched this. Uh. 175 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:24.080 But but once he his his Stephen Summers, I mean, 176 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.480 his desire to Helm the sequel is contingent on making 177 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.679 it bigger and just just more and more of everything. 178 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.519 And so that I would say works against you know, 179 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.919 the sort of the the the tone like there isn't 180 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.960 a lot of there isn't a lot of dread in 181 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.240 this movie, hm, you know. And and I think, just 182 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.440 going back to what I was saying about about Silvestry's score. 183 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.960 Silvestry leans into the spectacle of it. I think it's 184 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.120 terrific Silvestry score. 185 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.519 It is, it's but it's big, it's very big. 186 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.799 And and so the movie like at this point, like 187 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.399 I don't consider The First Mummy a horror film, right, 188 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.960 but it has you know, it's at least gesturing towards horror. Sure, 189 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.600 this one is very much not like these These these 190 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:17.720 Annubis soldiers are pretty I mean, they got PlayStation three 191 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.679 energy definitely well. 192 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.200 And then that's kind of what the action feels like 193 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.440 to sort of like a button mashing sort of action 194 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.039 where it's not, like you said, not a lot of 195 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.200 tension or dread or watch out with your characters. It's 196 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.919 just a lot of swinging swords and people exploding into sand. 197 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.039 And what's weird to me? I had this thought watching 198 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.799 this as we see this horde of Annubist soldiers just 199 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.960 overtaking the planet or you know whatever. I'm like, and 200 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.600 maybe this is the wrong thought, but I'm like, wouldn't 201 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.399 that be no, Like if something like that, I feel 202 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.679 like that would be a thing that was recording, you know, 203 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.320 like like you can buy what the first film is 204 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.759 putting out there in terms of the mythology, because it's like, 205 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.519 you know, it's it could be legend or something exactly. 206 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:08.720 But I'm like, well, it's like a world events. That's 207 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.279 a great point. No, but I'm with you. I enjoy 208 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.559 the first one. I'm not like I didn't like it, 209 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.039 grow up with it, like I know a lot of 210 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.759 people who are very passionate about it did. 211 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:20.519 But I enjoy it. 212 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.720 And then it has it captures a real throwbacky feel 213 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.559 in a way that I enjoy, and I think it 214 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.519 benefits from having kind of a tactile charm to it. 215 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.240 Where's this one. I can appreciate the you know, wanting 216 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.279 to go bigger of course with a sequel, but I 217 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.519 think this one becomes more it feels kind of convoluted. 218 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:47.440 Yeah, well the mythology doesn't doesn't hold up to scrutiny 219 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:47.960 very much. 220 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.320 Well. 221 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.879 By the way, I after I watched it and admdlely 222 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:53.879 been a long day. It was kind of the end 223 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.919 of the day, I was like, what is going on? 224 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:56.960 I was like, you know, I'll just go to the 225 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.480 Wikipedia page and I'll read the summary when it's over. 226 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.799 And then I read the Wikipedia page. I was like, 227 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.159 what the hell is going on? Like I still don't understand. 228 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.440 Help, but I was like, you know what I mean, 229 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.399 And it's too bad. 230 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.279 I wish they had kind of pulled back a little 231 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.879 bit because I do think the beats are fun. It's 232 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.159 just too much all the time, and then you just 233 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.879 sort of lose a little bit of the charm and 234 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.679 the fun and the right, well the human adventure element 235 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:24.399 of it all. 236 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.799 Yeah, So to that point, I would say a lot 237 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:32.039 of the charm for me rests on these characters. You know, 238 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:37.000 I actually contrary to my usual views on kids in 239 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.559 films because usually they have dumb kids syndrome. Yes, I 240 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.919 find Freddie both as Alex O'Connell quite charming. I find 241 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:49.720 him fun in this movie. I think that he's precocious, 242 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.120 but not annoyingly so I think he got some fun moments. 243 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.000 And I think especially these scenes with Brendan Fraser, I 244 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:03.919 like them together. I might have been in the wrong mood. Wow, Wow, 245 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.559 let's put it this way. 246 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.120 I think there's nothing wrong. I think his name is 247 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.799 Freddie Both Boeth. He is totally fine. He's a good 248 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.519 actor actually, and he's doing exactly what's asked of him. 249 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.320 But I did find his precociousness a little really annoying. Yeah, 250 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.879 I think here in this opening scene where he's hitting 251 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.360 the guys with the sling shot, I was like, I 252 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.559 don't know, like it's just him. 253 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.919 I'll give you, I'll give you that. 254 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.320 He's just being like a little little snot and that's 255 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.360 not what I want out of my like young protagonist, 256 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.559 I guess because it made me think of young Indie 257 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.039 in Last Crusade, and he is being kind of, you know, 258 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.440 not Braddy, but you know, a little ego and all 259 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.279 that stuff. But he's trying to be altruistic, which I 260 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.440 think to be fair. 261 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.960 I mean, he's using his slingshot against the bad guys. 262 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.240 Those are there. They're there to to you know, kill 263 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.000 the O'Connell's. You know. 264 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.799 Then I almost wish it's like they weren't just kind 265 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.200 of minding their own business doing stuff, like if they 266 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.679 had been approaching or something and he was keeping them 267 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.000 at bay. That is interesting, Like it just seems like 268 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.480 he's just kind of enjoying hitting these guys with rocks 269 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.799 and I and by the way, I don't know, this 270 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.039 is like I said, I've only seen this like twice, 271 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.039 but it's just right. At the beginning, I was kind 272 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.720 of like, I just wish. And that's the other thing too, 273 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.559 is I think I immediately had that feeling where I'm like, 274 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:30.960 why did they always feel like they got to put 275 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.120 a kid in these movies? 276 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.120 You know? Like I think I think making the O'Connell's parents, 277 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.879 I actually like that aspect because I think it adds 278 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.960 a different dimension to their relationship. 279 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:47.200 Yeah, but maybe to what we were saying earlier, if 280 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.240 this movie had felt a little bit less like a 281 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:55.120 VFX sizzle reel and more like an actual grounded story 282 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.559 about the characters and I really felt all the things 283 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.679 that were happening, yeah, versus just being sort of distracted 284 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.399 by everything happening around them, maybe I might have been 285 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.279 more potent. 286 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.240 For me interesting, you know. 287 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.519 So Yeah, I mean I was thinking, I don't know 288 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.720 why executives always feel like there needs to be some 289 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.360 sort of avatar for the younger audience. 290 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.480 Well, okay, so so to your point, what I found 291 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.519 amusing is that in the earlier scene, O'Connell's like, look, 292 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.600 just go like, go somewhere else, just stay out of trouble. 293 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.759 He's like, well, Dad, what do you want me to do. 294 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:29.360 He's like, I don't know, it's go build a better 295 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.159 mouse trap, right, which is just a thing you say, 296 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.399 And he's like okay, and he does he does it. Yeah, 297 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.320 I find that amusing. 298 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.960 I am fully willing to admit I might have just 299 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.039 been in the wrong frame of mind. 300 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.960 Like these are obviously bad guys. I don't. I don't 301 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.840 think you know, taking a taking a rock to the 302 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.200 kisser is the worst thing in the world. 303 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.440 You know, now you're You're probably right, But I do 304 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.519 stand by my Rarely do I enjoy when it's like, oh, 305 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.279 Superman has a kid, now, oh great? 306 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.120 You know I'm with you. Oddly, I'm people who listen 307 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.240 to the show. No, I'm I'm I'm not a fan 308 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.919 of dumping kids in the movies. This kid, I he 309 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.600 tickled me. I found him. I found him fun. 310 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.960 Well, and then it made me think, because I like 311 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.480 movies about kids on adventures. Of course, when it's from there, 312 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.240 it's their adventure, the Goonies, Monster Squad, whatever. And then 313 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.279 I was like, have I ever liked when they just 314 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.840 awkwardly and inserted a kid into the story and like 315 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.320 a sequel? And of course short round is like the 316 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.840 the answer for me, I mean, and I was like, why, like, 317 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.840 why does he work so? Well, Well, it's because. 318 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.120 You were a little kid when you watched that movie. 319 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.720 Actually I was much older. I didn't see that movie 320 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.440 un till I was older. 321 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.039 But how much older? Late teens? Really? 322 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.039 Yeah, I didn't see Temple at Doom. That was like 323 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.480 the scary one I interest, you know, and so I 324 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.039 think I only saw Raiders in Last Crusade, and somehow 325 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.120 I just kind of missed that one. 326 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:52.440 You know. 327 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:54.399 My parents didn't show it to me. Yeah, they didn't 328 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.120 see it till I was older. But to this day, 329 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.480 I still find him very charming because I think he 330 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.879 he doesn't get in the way. He's not that overly precocious. 331 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.839 He knows it all kind of thing. He's calibrated perfectly. 332 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.920 And of course Kihi Kwan is just magic. 333 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.119 You know. Well, you know what I'm gonna say it, 334 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.880 I get Indie and short round energy from Rick and 335 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.839 Alex O'Connell. 336 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.440 Oh interesting, I wish I did. 337 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:27.839 Yeah. Yeah, Now I do want to acknowledge that Evelyn. 338 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:33.079 Evelyn's eyebrows are back, and we're grateful for that. 339 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.839 I forgot about that. They're like that pencil thins. Yeah, right, 340 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.759 in the first one, she's got beautiful eyebrows. 341 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.519 Why on earth would they? You know? That is funny. 342 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.960 Actually when she first appeared, I was like, wow, she 343 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.839 is beautiful yep, Rachel Weiss. 344 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.279 Yeah. And and the way this movie came together is 345 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.559 itself fascinating. The move the first movie opened for the 346 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.240 first Friday of May nineteen ninety nine, and Saturday morning, 347 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.839 even Summers gets a call from a universal being like, 348 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.240 get get a sequel together. And I mean, two years 349 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.920 to the day we get the sequel, which is an 350 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.720 insanely fast turnaround. 351 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.880 Amazing to write it, to make it, to have all 352 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.720 the visual effects done. 353 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.680 Yeah, that's pretty Yeah, I mean that's that's impressive all 354 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.200 by itself. And so it it is fascinating. Like I 355 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.119 remember the ads the trailers for this one. It was 356 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.920 like listing the entire cast, and I'm like, how many 357 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.599 people even know these cast members by name other than 358 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.440 other than Brendan Fraser, you know, It's like Brendan Fraser, 359 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.720 Rachel Weiss, John Hannah oded Fair, like the whole Patricia Velaska. 360 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:48.480 I'm like, guys, I'm glad, I'm glad they're being acknowledge, 361 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.519 But this is a lot. You know. 362 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.640 I wonder what the impulse is to make it feel 363 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.000 like it's stacked, like an event or something I suppose, 364 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:55.799 or to. 365 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.720 Be like, hey, everybody's back. But I'm like, it was 366 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.440 so soon after, right, I'm like, maybe if those bigger 367 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:05.000 gap right to be like, oh look we got the 368 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.400 whole gang back together, you know, right right right? Anyway, 369 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.039 I did find that amusing. But I like that they 370 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.480 gave Evelyn Like here's the thing. The first movie ends 371 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.400 and it's it's O'Connell and and Evy are kissing, and 372 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.279 you know, it's it's the end of the action hero 373 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.480 a movie. But they could have very easily just had 374 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:28.240 another O'Connell adventure, right, and instead it's like, no, Rick 375 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.680 has a family and like to me, to me, it's like, 376 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.599 I like that instinct of like, let's do something different, 377 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.160 then let's situate a different status quote than Indiana Jones. Yeah, 378 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.240 by making him a family man. And I like that. 379 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.119 I like that Rick has the big house and stuff, 380 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.400 and you know, we there have been the passage of time. 381 00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.720 What is ten set ten years later? 382 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.680 I think, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was funny too 383 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.440 when they had the huge house is like, good lord, 384 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.880 what does he do for a living? Like, well, he's 385 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.240 like a Wayne the Big Mansion. 386 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.720 Because the beauty of it is the first movie ends 387 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.599 and they've got uh uh, that's sort of camel loaded 388 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.440 up with all the treasure. That's true. 389 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.920 That's true because I read somewhere that Brendan Fraser thought 390 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.240 they should live in an apartment okay, And I was like, yeah, 391 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.119 that's what I thought. I was shocked that they lived 392 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.400 in this like big manner and Summers was like, no, 393 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.400 but I want this big action sequence in your house, 394 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.319 so we need a place with a lot of rooms. 395 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.880 But that that You're right, that makes a lot of sense. 396 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.680 That's a good moment. By the way, catching the rock 397 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.359 I like that. 398 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.200 No, I you know what, I am going to completely 399 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:35.759 say that I think you've helped me here a little 400 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.680 bit with the opening. I was I got it. I'm 401 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.920 gonna be honest. I hate to admit it, but I 402 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.519 did start this kind of late after a long day, 403 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.079 and I was kind of observing the movie more than 404 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.680 like really, I think letting it seep in. And I 405 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:54.960 understand better now that yes, like those are antagonists. 406 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:59.720 And they're there to kill the O'Connell's yeah, yeah, although 407 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.680 I still don't love the character. I don't know why. 408 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.759 I don't know why. That's really funny, but this is 409 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.559 a big opening, you know what I mean? Yeah, right 410 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:13.559 right away, they're they're establishing well, it's just more right 411 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.640 like like this right here. If you remember in the 412 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.519 first film, you have Evelyn, she's putting books on a shelves. 413 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.160 Do you remember this, And then and then all the 414 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.519 shelves fall on top of like like a domino. So 415 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.000 let's just do that, but with these stone pillars. Yeah. 416 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.559 So so it's this is kind of a yes and 417 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.839 movie where like, let's just that thing in the first. 418 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.480 Time, let's just do that but more Yeah, yeah. 419 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:41.160 And and I think that I understand the instinct and certainly, 420 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.759 look in terms of of monetarily speaking, this movie was 421 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.480 a resounding success. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, so you 422 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.160 can't fault that instinct. I I'm somebody who I prefer 423 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.680 kind of a slow burn mm hmm. But that's just me. 424 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.599 That's how I roll. Well, I by the way, I 425 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.319 do want to. 426 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.039 Praise I mean, look, we're looking at actual pillars falling, 427 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.079 like these aren't visual effects, which now they probably would 428 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.960 be right, because it's probably hard to reset this set frankly, 429 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.519 and I can appreciate. 430 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.680 That that's a one shot. 431 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.319 Yeah, yeah, I think it was the movie Uncharted. A 432 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.319 couple of years ago we were talking about where I 433 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.440 was like, this movie doesn't feel dusty enough. If it's 434 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.599 about an adventurer out in the jungle, it's just. 435 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.880 A bunch of people in front of the green screens. Yeah, 436 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.519 or volumes. 437 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:35.200 I'm sure they had a couple sets, but they just 438 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.400 you know, there's an overreliance on just filling everything in 439 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.559 later in post. And I really do appreciate that this 440 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.599 does feel like a dusty adventure, Like it does feel 441 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.119 like they're in these places and that is really great 442 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.759 and goes a long way, I think, so. I mean 443 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:54.240 they add a lot of stuff on top of it 444 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:57.359 that we can talk about later. Maybe too much, but 445 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.440 I do love that it. I mean, this them and 446 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:02.720 the water slashing around and the you know. 447 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.440 It's great. 448 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:13.000 Yeah, I mean it's kindy. That's funny, harl. 449 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:18.720 He's winning over. We'll see, let's see what happened. I mean, 450 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.039 I mean there there is a moment later in the 451 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.279 film where it's like a Bart Simpson thing, right, like 452 00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.400 the are we there yet? Yes? And I was. I 453 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.880 was sitting there. I was sort of chuckling as it 454 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.200 was happening, but I was literally I was like, I 455 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.039 was wondering. I was like, I wonder, does this make 456 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.319 Brian small smile and make him annoying? I was actually 457 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.039 thinking that, you know me so well. 458 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.000 It's so funny because I don't know, I am so 459 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.920 I am wired to enjoy something like that. But something 460 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.519 about my experience last night was just not I was 461 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.480 not resonating with that character. 462 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.200 You weren't in a proper headspace. 463 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:52.720 Yeah. 464 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.799 I don't know what it was, but but I like 465 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.720 the you know, I can the me being such a 466 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.640 big hit in Universal being like we're making another one tomorrow. 467 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.279 I can totally understand that. I mean, obviously because it 468 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.640 was a hit, but also I think everybody would love 469 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.599 to come up with a new Indiana Jones. And that's 470 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.759 not an easy thing to do because Indiana Jones is 471 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.440 still around, right, and it's Spielberg, and it's hard to 472 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:23.400 top a movie that's, you know, over forty years old still. 473 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:29.200 But I really appreciate that this comes pretty darn close. Yeah, 474 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.039 you know what I mean like it is its own thing. 475 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.720 But it captures the spirit of those films in a 476 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.440 lot of ways. 477 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:34.960 You know. 478 00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.559 You can't help but think about all those people digging 479 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.680 in the desert and raiders lost dark. In this moment, right, 480 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.759 we have just all these people, real people, you know, 481 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.279 a real place. It doesn't look you know, there's real depth. 482 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.279 I can tell they shot in an actual location, which 483 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:54.079 goes a long way for me. And and the camera 484 00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.319 work too. There's a lot of sort of pivoting the 485 00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.279 camera around and reframing things. That's a lot of fun 486 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:01.160 that really excites me. 487 00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:08.359 Yeah. So yeah, and and oh and of course we 488 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:13.119 got to have the scarabs. You gotta have more scaribs. 489 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.039 I don't I don't know, you know, I think, uh, 490 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:20.079 scarribs to me are like are like movie quicksand mm hmm, 491 00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.519 where I'm like, well, if I ever encounter a scab, 492 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:24.759 it's either gonna you know, him and his cousins are 493 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:26.640 gonna just eat me alive, or they're gonna crawl into 494 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.440 my skin. I think all because of this movie and 495 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.640 and and the the earlier one that. 496 00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.079 Ship this, this is pretty horrifying. 497 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:39.279 Crawling under your skin and doing all that stuff. Like that. Yeah, 498 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.400 I like that. I like that. 499 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.440 I like the lighting in that that shot. I like 500 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:44.640 the him spitting them out of his mouth. 501 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.640 It's good. Stephen Summer is interesting, dude, right. I think 502 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.960 I think what works against him to your point about 503 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.720 you know, the the inevitable indie comparisons, is that Steven 504 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.880 Summers is no Steven Spielberg. And that's through no fault 505 00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.799 of Stephen Summers. 506 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.480 No, and I wouldn't even I think he does a 507 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:02.119 good job with. 508 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.279 These movies, you know so, But but I think that 509 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:14.119 the through line from The Mummy to G I Joe. Yeah, 510 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.240 so you got you got the Mummy Mummy returns Van 511 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.279 Housing g I Joe is that he tends to be 512 00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:25.880 just beholden to the digital end of things to the 513 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:30.519 point where where you know, there there's an an artificiality 514 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.920 that takes over, you know, that drives me nuts, you know. 515 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:37.759 I I think that again, it's what we say before, 516 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.559 you know, just your your limitations work in your favor, 517 00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.759 and again I mean it it. Look it's the same 518 00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.519 critique that so many people had about about the Star 519 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:51.920 Wars Special editions just a couple of years before this, 520 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.920 right where it's like suddenly, you know, George Lucas wasn't 521 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.559 limited to whatever crayons were in the box. He owned 522 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:05.599 the crayon factory. Yeah, and so he started making changes 523 00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:08.599 that to many people diminish that experience. Right, and again, 524 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.920 it's just one of those things where you know when 525 00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:11.960 you when when you're forced to be like, well, we 526 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.079 can't do this. What's a way to convey this? I 527 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.359 think that can work in your favor. Yeah. I think 528 00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:24.519 with this movie, kind of to the point you're making 529 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:28.279 the way Summer stages his action sequence, I think. I 530 00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:31.000 think the scene coming up in the mansion is there's 531 00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.400 a lot of fun stuff happening there. 532 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:35.119 I agree, it's a good playground and they make good 533 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.640 use of it. 534 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.279 There's my man, Our Death Bay. 535 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:39.200 Yeah, he's great man. 536 00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.240 He's got a ton to do in this one. It 537 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.079 made me very happy. Yep. As I mentioned in our 538 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.359 track for the first film, Our Death Bay played by 539 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.640 Odd Fair was kind of a formative film character for 540 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.720 me because I grew my hair out long just because 541 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.400 of this character. 542 00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:59.440 And you know what works too is that you can 543 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.079 rock that. You know, It's not like it looked great 544 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:02.640 on everybody. 545 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:07.240 You rocked it. I appreciate that it took several years 546 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:08.720 to grow it out that long, and then you know, 547 00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.359 it peaked a few years ago, but it was it 548 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:18.000 was truly it was the ar death Bay a memorial haircut. 549 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:21.400 What was I watching the other day, I don't even remember, 550 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.359 but it was something modern and I was like, man, 551 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.160 everything just looks so flat. It's so frustrating. And then 552 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.000 you know, looking at this, I'm like, just this. 553 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.359 Room, there's depth. There's depth. They're in a room. 554 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.920 Yeah, but you know, it's you know, I don't I know, 555 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.640 this is old man shaking fist at cloud or whatever. 556 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.799 But like, you know, people are going to get used 557 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:43.759 to it, and that's what movies. But to me, this 558 00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:47.640 is what movies look like, right, and and I just 559 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:52.880 see shortcuts and things now. But for new generations, that's 560 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.559 what movies are going to look like. And that's just 561 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.480 you know, I'm sure, you know, I'm going to be 562 00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.559 like those people generations before who are like, no movie's 563 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.000 black and white? 564 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.000 What are you talking about? Well, just true in the 565 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.759 sense that, like just a couple of years before this 566 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:09.960 came out, you know, Michael Bay really burst into the 567 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.960 zeitgeist and sort of that that really sun drenched colors 568 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.799 popping view which we saw through you know, Bad Boys 569 00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:24.920 and Rock and arm again Pearl Harbor. This the same summer, 570 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:25.319 you know. 571 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.400 Ye, Transformers, I think is one of the biggest offenders 572 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:29.960 where everybody's like orange and. 573 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.039 You know, it's like yeah, and that's very much his style, right, 574 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.680 and yet how many how many people were inspired by that? 575 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.480 I mean it was I think of that as like 576 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.559 an aughts kind of thing. 577 00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:52.440 Oh yeah, very much so. Yeah, yeah, see this stuff. 578 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:52.920 I like that. 579 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.759 That's that's Panache, you know what I mean. Like this 580 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.200 sort of establishing shot sort of thing and a car 581 00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.839 pulling up, but it pulls right up and like ah, 582 00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.000 like a shade that's been pulled down over a window 583 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:04.799 fills the frame. 584 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.039 Then the shade goes up and reveals the villain. That's 585 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.279 the good stuff. People don't do that stuff anymore intentionality. 586 00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:15.359 I miss it. What a concept. 587 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.039 Yeah, that's why I do like even though I can't 588 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.400 say I'm passionate about this movie, but it does. You know, 589 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.599 it delights parts of me that that I love having 590 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:30.720 delighted by movies, you know, just like Panache in shots, 591 00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:36.079 you know, Yeah, I like it. But that's you know, 592 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:37.640 I never saw Van helsing by the way. 593 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.599 Yeah, so that is by the way worth mentioning the 594 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:47.920 O'Connell mansion. That's Wayne Manner, and Bamman begins. 595 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.440 Well, I'll be damned, I didn't even know that. And 596 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.240 when I'm saying that, seriously, the first thing I thought 597 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:53.759 was like, what are they the Waynes And like, I 598 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.359 didn't even realize that. 599 00:30:55.880 --> 00:31:02.759 Yeah, so, by the way, this you're talking about? 600 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.519 Sorry, oh no, no, no, uh well yeah, yeah, so Van 601 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.559 Helsi Yeah, I guess. So I'm thinking, like Stephen Summers, 602 00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:16.279 I I wouldn't have minded if someone maybe had pulled 603 00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.559 him back a little bit story wise, or just sort 604 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:20.759 of with the set pieces. Keep the set pieces, but 605 00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.000 just they don't need to be so much like they're 606 00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.079 dying a little too much to the point where like, 607 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.079 you know, the music is so loud, not literally, but 608 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:28.599 just you know, where everything's peaking. 609 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.640 It's like it's too much for us to. 610 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.319 Grasp what we're supposed to be rooting for or you know, enjoying. 611 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.559 But I like, I like his style, you know, for 612 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:42.920 the most part generally here, so I it kind of 613 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.279 bums me out that he's not still doing stuff. 614 00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:48.960 I know, he just he just noped out of his career. 615 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.680 Yeah, you know, because I think he's got something, you know. 616 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.920 Well, my thought is maybe he just he got tired 617 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:02.680 of getting ship on maybe, right, Like I mean, look, 618 00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:05.519 that Jerry Goldsmith story. 619 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:12.039 Just makes me s hand honestly, Yeah, you know, yeah, totally. 620 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.759 I just feel genuinely bad for him being in the 621 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.160 audience so excited to hear the music from his movie 622 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.839 and you know, like, I don't know, Yeah, here's the music. 623 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.359 Here's the awesome music I wrote for this piece of 624 00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:27.480 shit freaking movie. 625 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:30.359 Yeah, that's that sucks. 626 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.599 I don't know. And by the. 627 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.920 Way, I just wanted to comment something I like in 628 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.759 movies is when like a couple, they don't feel this 629 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.720 need for them to be skeptical of one another, Like 630 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:45.039 they're in love and they trust each other, they're a team. 631 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.480 And I like this moment where you see those stockings 632 00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.400 hanging from that bookcase and she's like, those aren't mine, 633 00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.519 but she never for a second thinks that, you know, 634 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:58.400 Brendan Fraser is doing anything that's a great get show. 635 00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.000 It's just even think about that, right, It's like, wait, 636 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.720 something something's wrong. Yeah, And it has nothing to do 637 00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.279 with him, and they're both like, yeah it is, we 638 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.759 got to figure this out. Like, I love when romantic 639 00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:11.559 couples are like teams like that. 640 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:16.079 Well, I I genuinely I love the Rick and Evy 641 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:18.400 relationship in this one. I mean they're just a couple 642 00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:21.799 in love. Mm hmm, right, Like you could have done 643 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.880 the thing which we see in so many of these 644 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:27.440 movies where in the in the years since they have 645 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:29.839 broken up and this is them getting back together, kind 646 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:35.039 of the the Peter Venkman Dana Rory right like, or 647 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.039 or you know Indie in in Crystal Scholar whatever they 648 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.200 didn't do that, yep, or Han and Leah, Yeah, right exactly. 649 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.599 You know. Yeah, I like that. I like that idea 650 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.799 that it's like, no, they're just they're they're happily married 651 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:51.119 and in love. What a concept. 652 00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:53.920 Yeah, And but I mean they can disagree, yeah, you know, 653 00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.119 and they cannot like the way that the other does 654 00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.000 things from time to time. But I just love that 655 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.880 there's an implicit trust. It's not like, oh, you you're 656 00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.279 a dog, like immediately jumping to conclusions about it. 657 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:10.679 That's the part. Yeah, John Hannah is fun in these 658 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.000 He's he's a very serious English actor, so this this 659 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.440 character lets him kind of be a little sillier. 660 00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.599 Yeah, I wish he worked a little bit more for me, 661 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:23.039 this character. But he's doing it perfectly. 662 00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:26.400 He plays that that type very. 663 00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.679 Well, exactly. He's doing a great job. I just wish 664 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:33.400 I found him funnier in I'm so sorry for people 665 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:36.159 who love these movies. I wish I was, but I 666 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:37.480 gotta speak my truth. 667 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.440 What do you think of mister echo here a you're gonna. 668 00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:44.159 I was very happy to see him, Yeah you go. 669 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.880 I mean, come on, the camera pushing in on him 670 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:48.079 and the lightning on his face. 671 00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:56.559 He's got a great presence. It's fantastic see that right there. Man, 672 00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.039 If he's a badass, I know, got our swords. He's 673 00:34:59.079 --> 00:34:59.920 a get out of my house. 674 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.039 And it's funny because sometimes you have a sequel where 675 00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:06.840 a character is kind of thrown into action in the 676 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:09.599 first movie and then in the second movie. Probably many times, 677 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:11.400 you know on a story level you want them to 678 00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:13.800 be involved and step up a little bit, but sometimes 679 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.679 the actor themselves wants like, hey, I need something to do, 680 00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:19.119 and so then you give them a scene that just 681 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.119 doesn't fit into the movie just so they can like 682 00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.480 do a stunt or something like you can feel it 683 00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:28.400 awkwardly like Jerry Rigg to fulfill some sort of thing. Yeah, 684 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.519 but I thought they did a great job of making 685 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.000 her slip right into being like an action hero in 686 00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.440 this alongside Rick. 687 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.320 I agree with that. The only thing I kind of 688 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.800 roll my eyes at is that, oh, she's actually the 689 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:45.519 Pharaoh's daughter reincarnated. And oh that right there when the 690 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.599 guy throws the knife at Rick and he catches it. 691 00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:51.199 That's very cool. It is cool. But I'm also like, 692 00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.639 that knife was not gonna hit him. 693 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:56.199 He didn't even have to like risk his hand. 694 00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.880 Yeah, it was nowhere near him. It's like a well. 695 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.079 I like the way that it's captured. I think it's 696 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:07.920 like captured well, and it looks cool. But oh dude, 697 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.480 that's where I was going on Wikipedia. I was like, wait, what, like, 698 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:13.880 she's the daughter the is this literally a reincarnation? 699 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:17.760 Is this and Rick is a reincarnated man? Guy? Yeah? 700 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.360 Well, was this like post the Matrix. It's like everyone 701 00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.920 had to be the one. Jet Lee made a movie 702 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:23.960 called The One. 703 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:27.000 The One, you know. 704 00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.119 I was like, uh, whatever, it's a lot, But then 705 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:32.599 I thought about it.

And in addition to that, you know, this goes 773 00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.719 to a comment you made in when we were talking 774 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.199 through the first film, which is you felt like the 775 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.599 O'Connell character wasn't really working for you because it felt 776 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.239 like Brendan Fraser was playing kind of a tough guy. Yeah, 777 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.400 I feel like this one leans more into his. 778 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.239 Charm, I think, I yes, yes, right, plays more to 779 00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:13.440 his personality. 780 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.880 Yeah, you know, it's it's a little bit like you 781 00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.360 know something we said about about Jurassic World, which is 782 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:23.559 that the Chris Pratt character, it doesn't let him be 783 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:28.559 Chris Pratty enough, and the sequels kind of let a 784 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.159 little bit more of that shine through. 785 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.119 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember in the first one 786 00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:36.960 it felt like I was watching an actor puff his chest, yes, 787 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:41.840 acting like an action hero, even though the thing though, 788 00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:44.639 I think Brendan Fraser is kind of like Keanu Reeves 789 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:48.280 in a way where people just like love the guy like, 790 00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:49.800 and I agree with that, like, and I think he 791 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.079 does feel like Brendan Fraser in most of his roles. 792 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.280 But I love Brendan Fraser, you know what I mean, 793 00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:56.599 And so I agree with you. I think in this 794 00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:58.800 one he gets to be a little bit more himself 795 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.960 and it comes across a little bit more natural for me. 796 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.199 No, I I think I think partly it's just the 797 00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:10.239 comfort level from from uh, coming back to a role 798 00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:13.840 that people liked him in. You know, yeah, I'm sure 799 00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.639 he feels happier he got he got twelve, twelve and 800 00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:19.199 a half a million dollars for this movie. Ooh, you 801 00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:21.239 know he got four million for the first one. So 802 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:22.360 it's a nice little pay grade. 803 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.559 Hey great, you know, so. 804 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.679 Just kind of comfort level. I mean he talked about it. 805 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.000 It's like, you know, coming back for another semester of school. 806 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:33.880 You know, here the whole gang is back. By the way, 807 00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:36.679 if as we record this, the fourth movie is still 808 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.719 in you know, in in in process. You know, it's 809 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:42.360 coming out next year. If they don't bring back Ohdad, 810 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.039 fair as our at Bay, they're gonna have a very 811 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:50.599 angry email from me arriving. I'm gonna be quite perturbed. 812 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:54.880 They must, right, yeah, they better. Well it's funny because 813 00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:58.239 there's a third one that I've actually never seen. Yeah, 814 00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:04.480 oh you will plan for that next year? 815 00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:09.679 Yeah, because the ride at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, 816 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.079 that's what all the sort of decorations and artwork are. 817 00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:15.119 It's from the third one. 818 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:18.039 Well, it used to be, at least maybe it's been revised. 819 00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.880 I don't know. That seems like a miscalculation. 820 00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:22.840 That's like always the thing, right. It's like when by 821 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:24.800 the time a theme park can actually put out a ride, 822 00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.599 it's like, you know, the steam for that movie is 823 00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.280 usually kind. 824 00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.280 Of a little Rise of the Republic energy or what 825 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:33.920 is it, Rise of the Resistance energy? 826 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.440 Yeah, exactly, exactly the Resistance. Yeah, although there was a 827 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:43.800 year where my friend Chad and I we got Universal 828 00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:46.639 Studios used to have a great deal on year passes, 829 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:49.880 okay or season passes, and it was like if you 830 00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.119 bought a ticket for one day, you got a season 831 00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:55.760 pass or something crazy like that. Oh wow, So we're like, 832 00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:57.880 let's do it. And then we had this thing for 833 00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.199 a year. It would be Saturday morning and he'd be like, yo, man, 834 00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:04.159 you want to go ride the Mummy. I was like, yeah, 835 00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:07.239 so we just go to Universal ride the Mummy maybe twice, 836 00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:10.199 you know, do the Simpsons ride then call it. You know, 837 00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:13.480 all right, what now lunch? So I've been on that 838 00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.320 ride a lot. 839 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:19.880 So wait, So the Mummy ride was built around tomb 840 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:20.840 of the Dragon Emperor. 841 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.159 I do remember when you exit the ride that was 842 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:26.119 the artwork on the walls. 843 00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:28.079 Fascinating. 844 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:32.960 Yeah, but the ride itself is a bit you know, 845 00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:34.760 it's more like a roller coaster. It's less like the 846 00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:38.039 Indiana Jones ride at Disney, where it's a real vast 847 00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:40.280 sort of set you're riding through, and it's more like 848 00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:43.079 stuff kind of coming at you. It's it's fun. It's 849 00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:44.360 like a roller coaster in the dark. 850 00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:49.119 I got you. Yeah, so this movie you said you 851 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:51.119 saw you saw this in the theater when it came out. 852 00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:54.039 I don't remember. If I'm introsed. 853 00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:58.079 There was one movie and I said this in the 854 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:01.440 last commentary, when you were at that television station and 855 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.239 you guys are like duping a bunch of movies. 856 00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.679 Someone gave me one of the Mummy movies. Oh it 857 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:09.639 was it was the first one, because yeah, I mean, 858 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:11.360 this is two thousand and one. By then, I definitely 859 00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:12.119 wasn't working there. 860 00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:14.239 Okay, so yeah, I couldn't remember which one it was, 861 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.599 but okay, that's how I watched the first one. And 862 00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:17.960 I don't remember when I saw this. 863 00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:20.679 Yeah, two thousand and one, you were at Trinity, right, 864 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:23.159 were yet Biola by then? 865 00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:30.320 I guess I was, Yeah, wow, isn't that strange? Like 866 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:32.880 ten years ago, I would have with complete clarity, been 867 00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:33.400 able to tell you. 868 00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.840 Now, I'm like, I don't remember.

I think that 876 00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:09.679 that should cover it. But yeah, that was the first 877 00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:11.719 film and then yeah, this one. I did not see 878 00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:13.599 this opening weekend. I remember very to single. I saw 879 00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:18.199 it the Monday after it opened. Okay. I went with Javier, 880 00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.679 my friend from from I used to work at a 881 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:26.159 wedding videography studio, and I remember that. Yeah.

Yep, that's kind of amazing. Actually 912 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:07.679 that is that Hannibal Hannibal. Yeah, well, I hated that movie. 913 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:12.599 I don't hate movies. I hated that. Yeah, Ocean's eleven 914 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:14.480 was this year. Yeah, oh that's a big year. 915 00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.159 Castaway, it's a lot of great movies. 916 00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:22.400 Castaway was two thousands, and wasn't it Castaway was the 917 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.159 end of two thousand. Yeah, I agree with you. 918 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.159 So I don't know why this is off box office 919 00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:28.840 Mojo domestic box office for two thousands. 920 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.280 Must because it continued to make. 921 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.880 Oh maybe that has to do also with Lord of 922 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:33.239 the Rings. 923 00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:34.840 Lord of the Rings. I was about to say, yeah, 924 00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:37.079 that makes sense because Lord of the Rings was like December, 925 00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:42.960 I think, right, yep, Yeah, because Harry Potter was November. Yep. 926 00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:46.119 I remember that. I remember watching Harry Potter opening night 927 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:49.559 and falling asleep, and then that's just been my experience 928 00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:51.400 with the SORCER's Stone as I keep falling asleep in 929 00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:51.760 that movie. 930 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:53.440 You've never made it through. I remember, yea, I remember 931 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:56.079 you talking about that. Well you get you get a 932 00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:57.760 new chance with the HBO series. 933 00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:02.760 I'll get right on it. So let's talk about this 934 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:05.119 action sequence. I think, going to what you were saying before, 935 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:06.840 there is a tactility to it. 936 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.519 Oh yeah, it's going to be warehouse real flames. By 937 00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:12.719 the way, I do want to say I can appreciate 938 00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:16.480 why they do fake flames these days. Yeah, truly, it's 939 00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:19.519 it's it's safety should be paramount. 940 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:25.880 Yeah, you know, and I do and twentieth Century Fox honestly. 941 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:34.280 Yeah, maybe Warner Brothers looks like but yeah, there's just something. 942 00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:36.079 But but what I do love is it's not like 943 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:40.239 they like extended the room digitally, you know, So there's 944 00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.599 just it doesn't have like a real sort of depth 945 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.159 like you were saying earlier. I love this seeing all 946 00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:49.199 the machine gun fire and flames and things getting knocked over. 947 00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:53.960 It looks great. This is kind of funny. 948 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:55.920 Although I felt like they should jump out right after 949 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:56.760 this moment. 950 00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.000 Right, that that would sell the gag better. 951 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:03.800 Yeah, she's, uh, they've just run out of the building, 952 00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:05.840 and she's putting a bench in front of the door, 953 00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:09.119 thinking it'll stop all the supernatural bad guys. He's like, no, no, no, 954 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.400 these kind of people don't use doors. But then they 955 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.280 wait like forty five seconds until. 956 00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:20.360 Yeah, well there's a whole other sequence here. Yeah, so 957 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:20.800 right here. 958 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:26.039 Yeah, yeah, I'm a little surprised they didn't do it differently. 959 00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:30.400 See, so the first movie ends with like Mummy, you know, 960 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:33.679 Mummy soldiers, and so it's like, okay, well we got to, 961 00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:35.639 you know, check the list. We gotta we gotta make 962 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.079 sure we have them in there. And then we got 963 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.239 to make sure we get O'Connell with a nice trailer 964 00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:49.079 line right there. I hate mummies. Yeah, it's ever been 965 00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:51.000 in a double deck or bus? I'm sure you have? 966 00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:55.400 Right, No, I haven't, really, I don't. Well, now I 967 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.119 think about it. I've never been to London, but okay, 968 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.400 maybe like some sort of tour bus sort of thing 969 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:03.960 where you're sitting on the top, you know, sort of like. 970 00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.800 In Hollywood double deckers in Paris. I haven't written one, 971 00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:11.199 I feel like because I've been in one. Yeah, and 972 00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:12.840 I'm like, I don't think it was in London, so 973 00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:18.440 it must have been Paris. Anyway, this I get. I 974 00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:21.840 get heavy T two vibes in this sequence here where 975 00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.639 they're there where Rick is like shooting up here right here? 976 00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:28.199 I thought, same thing, right yep. 977 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:34.199 In the elevator yep, yep is your head the little 978 00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:35.280 boy be like, what the F is it? 979 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:36.760 What's going on? 980 00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:43.440 Yeah?

Yeah, that's kind of you know, for a 1004 00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:51.800 lot of these young actors. I mean, Fraser was what 1005 00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:55.559 probably in his early thirties here when needed this, you know, 1006 00:51:55.920 --> 00:52:00.320 you think the check won't come do Yeah, yeah, it 1007 00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:02.840 catches up to you. It catches up to everybody. You know. Yeah, 1008 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:06.320 there it is that it doesn't well. 1009 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:07.760 And that's the thing too, is when you do it 1010 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.000 five times, you know, and like just landing on your 1011 00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:14.119 knees hard and yeah, whipped around and you know, like 1012 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:15.960 we might take a tumble, you know, fall down a 1013 00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:17.840 little hill or something, and that's that. 1014 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.440 But like, well, last night I was, I was coming 1015 00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:23.639 down the stairs because there was a light on in 1016 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:25.840 the kitchen. I wanted to turn it off. And as 1017 00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:29.039 I was, it was dark enough that I missed a 1018 00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:33.639 step at the bottom of the steps. Yeah, so I 1019 00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:36.519 I just kind of my my feet came out from 1020 00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:39.719 under me, and I sat down and and I was like, 1021 00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.000 you know, if I lie down and die right here, 1022 00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:44.039 I think that'd probably be the perfect end to this story, 1023 00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:48.960 because that's what I felt like. I'm sorry I was. 1024 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:51.360 I was like sitting there, I'm like, oh God, I 1025 00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:58.079 gotta go back up those stairs. 1026 00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:01.519 Those are those like life pains, all right. 1027 00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:05.440 I have nothing but respect for Brandon Fraser getting getting 1028 00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:06.920 tossed hither and thither, you know. 1029 00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:08.559 Yeah, well it had been nice if you got in 1030 00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:09.400 twelve million for it. 1031 00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:11.079 That's that's a good point. 1032 00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:13.840 That which still has no no reason to hurt your body. 1033 00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:15.760 By the way, I just by the way. 1034 00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:18.159 Speaking of T two vibes, we get the top half 1035 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.760 of the bus.

I 1039 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.920 hope that's I'm saying it correct. Apparently he was a 1040 00:53:39.039 --> 00:53:42.280 huge fan of the first Mummy movie. Yeah, yeah, and 1041 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:45.519 he passed on an opportunity to be in Harry Potter 1042 00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:52.639 because he wanted to audition for okay, to audition, Yeah, 1043 00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.159 because he wanted to be in this movie so badly. 1044 00:53:56.119 --> 00:54:00.719 And I was like, oh, man, yeah, you. 1045 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:02.559 Know what I'm gonna say, because because that kid, that 1046 00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:04.320 kid isn't well, he's not a kid anymore. He's like 1047 00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:07.719 in his thirties now. Yeah, he's working in you know, 1048 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:12.119 marketing or whatever, just just live in a normal adult life. Yeah, 1049 00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.440 And so I'm kind of like, you know what, that 1050 00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:16.440 that's that was the best path for him. 1051 00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:20.119 And you know what if he then looks back on 1052 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:22.880 his acting career and he gets to see himself in 1053 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.639 his favorite movie franchise. He wins. 1054 00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:30.000 I agree with that. It's you know, in the third film, 1055 00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:34.800 they they Alex is like in his twenties. Oh really yeah, 1056 00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:37.559 and so they recast their role and I was thinking, 1057 00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:39.559 I was thinking about that, like, well that would suck, 1058 00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:42.480 Like if they like this fourth one that they're doing, 1059 00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.159 I would say, well, if you're gonna have Alex, you 1060 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:47.800 should have the original Alex, you know. 1061 00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.039 Yeah, which they don't tend to do right when they 1062 00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.000 do the sequel. It's sort of like Independence Day. I remember, 1063 00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.880 that's right, they recast the president's daughter and yeah, I'm 1064 00:54:58.880 --> 00:54:59.280 a bummer. 1065 00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:05.960 Yeah that was bullshit. Yeah. 1066 00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.519 I was curious by the way I was reading that 1067 00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:11.880 they had to close down London's Tower Bridge, you know, 1068 00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:14.320 so they could film. Yeah, and they were only allowed 1069 00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:16.360 to do it for twenty minutes at a time, so 1070 00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:18.800 for that makes sense, which totally makes sense, but it 1071 00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:23.920 created a bunch of traffic jams, and apparently it became 1072 00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:27.400 such a fiasco that they reduced their time to ten minutes. 1073 00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:33.000 And I was just curious, if you've ever encountered something 1074 00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:35.119 like that, like a road closed down for filming or. 1075 00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:39.519 Oh wow, not. I have not, But I guess I've 1076 00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:42.480 been lucky in that way, right because certainly in Chicago 1077 00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:47.480 there's plenty of filming that goes on. I've never encountered it. 1078 00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:50.960 I you know, when when there's filming in the Bay 1079 00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:54.199 areas in the city, right, So so that I'm sure 1080 00:55:54.280 --> 00:55:55.920 you know well ahead of time. I remember a few 1081 00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:59.440 years ago, like you had like you had Matrix f 1082 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:03.079 and Venom and a couple of other things that we're 1083 00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:07.320 all shooting right around the same time. Yeah, so you know, 1084 00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:09.880 I was getting you know, I was hearing from people 1085 00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:12.000 in the city like, oh, you know, I saw such 1086 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:13.400 and such and they blocked off. This isn't it. But 1087 00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:15.320 but I'm far enough out of the city that I 1088 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:18.239 haven't encountered. Yeah. 1089 00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:21.159 Yeah, I haven't encountered anything major like that, where like 1090 00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:24.840 a major freeway has been you know, rerouted or whatever. 1091 00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.119 But what about like a James Cordon flash mob. 1092 00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:32.480 Wait, didn't we see that? I do feel like we 1093 00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:33.159 did see something. 1094 00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:33.800 Did we see that? 1095 00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.440 I feel like we did because we were right by 1096 00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:41.239 CBS studios and we saw traffic was being stopped and 1097 00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:42.519 people were kind of doing stuff. 1098 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.760 Be yes, cross walks, that's right. Okay, I do remember. 1099 00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:49.800 I don't remember exactly what it was, but I have 1100 00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:52.119 seen there was a car chase that was filmed right 1101 00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:54.320 around the corner from me a couple of months ago. 1102 00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:58.039 Wow and yeah. And so basically, you know, ads or 1103 00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:03.159 whoever PA's were blocking traffic, so they would let traffic go, 1104 00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.239 you know, east to west for a little bit, but 1105 00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:07.880 then they would stop them for like five minutes. And 1106 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.639 then there was like a big van chasing after a 1107 00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:14.159 little car, and there were drones following it, and then 1108 00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:16.280 they'd reset and then they'd let the cars go, and 1109 00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:17.719 then they'd do it over and over again. 1110 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:18.199 And it was fair. 1111 00:57:18.280 --> 00:57:21.760 I mean, cars were pissed, man like I because it 1112 00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:24.079 was right there. I just sat and watched it for 1113 00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:27.320 a while. And I can imagine, like you, you know, 1114 00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:29.440 you think you're gonna be somewhere in five ten minutes 1115 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:31.039 or something, and then you're just sitting there and you 1116 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:33.320 don't know what's going on and people are just telling 1117 00:57:33.360 --> 00:57:35.559 you you can't go through a green light. I can 1118 00:57:35.639 --> 00:57:36.920 understand being frustrated with that. 1119 00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.920 Well, look, if I'm in, if I'm behind the wheel 1120 00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:43.119 of my car, and then James Corden Flashmob broke out. 1121 00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.960 I'm saying my foot might find the gas, that's all. 1122 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:55.559 I'm James Gordon was understandably run over today by a citizen. 1123 00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:57.800 You know what did happen? Though? 1124 00:57:57.800 --> 00:57:59.719 One time I was driving down the one oh one 1125 00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:04.159 and a band was in a big van or a 1126 00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:08.119 truck or something, okay, and they they cut off traffic, 1127 00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:12.840 like they took over, like cut all the lanes off, 1128 00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:15.880 and then the band stood on top of the truck 1129 00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:17.280 and they filmed. 1130 00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:21.039 A music video. Wow. Yeah, yeah. 1131 00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.119 I remember being in that and I was stuck and 1132 00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:24.880 I didn't know what was going on. And I read 1133 00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:29.920 that that's what happened later, and I was like, there's 1134 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:33.119 like a fraction of a percent of me that is 1135 00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:36.320 just like wow, the audacity or like the yeah, the 1136 00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:38.760 balls or whatever. But mostly I'm like, dude, what if 1137 00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:39.960 an ambulance. 1138 00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:40.840 Needed to get through there? Yeah? 1139 00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:42.400 You know, that's that's crazy. 1140 00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:43.960 Yeah. Those people need a beating. 1141 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:46.440 Yeah yeah, I mean, can you imagine if you were 1142 00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:49.599 the front row, like blocked off and watching these people 1143 00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:50.159 get up and be. 1144 00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:56.480 Like all right, two three, four? Yeah, I don't know anyway, 1145 00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.480 those band members need to be put in a room 1146 00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:04.159 with the corpse of Tep while holding canopic urns yes. 1147 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.440 Yes, and then they get released. So then Mummy four 1148 00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:11.800 is like the Mummy and the ghosts of those guys like, oh, like. 1149 00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:12.960 That's what happens. 1150 00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:19.239 We walk again, lived to Rock another day. And then 1151 00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:23.239 Emotep's just like, h is there like following him around. 1152 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:26.440 That's hilarious. 1153 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:32.440 I did love like this this. He's got this timeline 1154 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:34.440 sort of like the ring, you know, where it's five 1155 00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:36.519 days are gonna die or something, and then he pulls 1156 00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:40.000 the yeah, hourglass thing, and I was like, that feels 1157 00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:40.760 very imprecise. 1158 00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:50.440 That's funny. So this this bit where where Alex is 1159 00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:55.199 so like he's speaking in English to Alex. Yes, I 1160 00:59:55.239 --> 01:00:00.679 was like, is that like, does Alex understand him because 1161 01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:02.639 he speaks ancient Egyptian? 1162 01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:05.599 Well, I was gonna say, yeah, presumably, because I think 1163 01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.480 they do the Hunt for Out October thing right where 1164 01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.400 they like push in on his lips a little bit. 1165 01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:12.440 That's right, because he's speaking, you know, I don't know 1166 01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:15.199 when he's speaking, but then he like comes back out yeah, 1167 01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:16.960 and then he's speaking English all of a sudden, which 1168 01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:19.599 I every time I see that, I always think, what 1169 01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:20.719 a clever device. 1170 01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:24.280 Yeah, you know they they do that well in the 1171 01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:30.480 Thirteenth Warrior. Mmmm. Except the way the the you've not 1172 01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:33.760 seen that movie, I know, Yeah, so that's that's you know, 1173 01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:38.119 Antonio benderis plays an Arab who's who's with these vikings, 1174 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:40.800 And but the way they do it there is like 1175 01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:47.679 you just see him like watching them talk. Mmmm. And 1176 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:50.159 so you're through the passage of time, you're able to 1177 01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:52.400 montage that he just figures out their language just by 1178 01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:55.199 listening to them talking. I like that, but it's done 1179 01:00:55.239 --> 01:01:01.199 in like a very cool way. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta 1180 01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:03.480 be honest. If if you and I were stuck in 1181 01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:07.199 a train car with motype, I would shove you at him. 1182 01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:13.239 I'm just letting you know. I'm sorry. I want you 1183 01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:16.159 to know as your friend, I would I would. I 1184 01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:18.840 would feel bad about it, but I would totally do that. 1185 01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.880 And then when I survive, that would be awkward. 1186 01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:25.519 It would make it would make our next episodes very awkward. 1187 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.639 And then I approach you slowly and I'm covered in 1188 01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.920 mummy dust. Yeah, just blowing it out of my face. 1189 01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:38.639 Yeah, you'd be like, you'd be like Conan in that 1190 01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:39.760 one where he becomes the Hulk. 1191 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:43.239 You'd be like, look, look, look what you did exactly exactly. 1192 01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.320 I was That's funny, that's actually what I was picturing. 1193 01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:48.119 It's like driving, like just cut to us in a 1194 01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:51.800 car because you drove or whatever, and like it's just silence. 1195 01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:54.039 But I'm still, you know, got dust coming off of 1196 01:01:54.079 --> 01:01:55.960 me in the passenger seat. 1197 01:01:57.159 --> 01:01:58.639 Yeah, that would happen. 1198 01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:02.400 Yeah. 1199 01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:09.239 See, we're getting into like the limits of early aughts 1200 01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:14.880 CG abilities, you know. Yeah, we just weren't quite there yet. 1201 01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:17.800 I think I was thinking about how again, Planet of 1202 01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:20.039 the Apes was this summer, right, the Tim Burton one, 1203 01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:26.440 and how that ten years later, with the Rise of 1204 01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:28.199 the Planet of the Apes, we had the digital the 1205 01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:32.760 Andy Cirkus apes, right, and how at this point you 1206 01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:37.039 still needed Rick Baker real effects to make you know, 1207 01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:40.800 the CG just wasn't there yet. Yep. And it's weird 1208 01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:45.000 because I knew even when I watched this movie, I 1209 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:46.719 was like, the CGI ain't ain't great. 1210 01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:49.159 I was kind of wondering. I wish I could put 1211 01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:51.639 myself back in two thousand and one. Right, So I'm 1212 01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:53.840 sure some of it some of it looks okay, but. 1213 01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:58.039 Some of it doesn't. Yeah, well, I distinctler. Well, obviously 1214 01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:01.639 the Scorpion King, like everybody knows that, but like even 1215 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:04.320 even the Nubis soldiers and stuff, I was like, I 1216 01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:08.360 don't know about that. And I didn't have that reaction 1217 01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:13.280 to The Mummy the first film, yeah, which like watching now, 1218 01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:16.039 you're like, well, you know, it's maybe a few renders 1219 01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:18.559 away from where it needs to be. But at the 1220 01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:20.480 time I was like, no, that looks pretty solid. So 1221 01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:26.800 this it felt like they were ahead of their skis. Yeah. 1222 01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:30.960 Yeah, somehow In the first one, I think the Emotep's 1223 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:34.440 face is in a sand storm or something, yeah, and 1224 01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:37.000 I remember that looking like fine. But this one, when 1225 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:40.000 he's in the wave, I was like, oh, yeah, exactly. 1226 01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:42.559 How did we go backwards? And I think it's just 1227 01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:44.960 it's the same issue that we have today. Well, you know, 1228 01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:49.719 you give these technicians enough time, they'll give you something special. Yeah. 1229 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:53.000 But I mean they were literally finishing up the effects 1230 01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:55.920 the week of the premiere. Yeah, that's wild. 1231 01:03:56.280 --> 01:04:00.599 And you know, and also this was the beginning of 1232 01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:05.119 you know, I mean relatively speaking of CGI and new 1233 01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:08.320 sorts of things, and maybe it's easier to create a 1234 01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:12.199 face in sand particles and water had not been quite 1235 01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:13.199 perfected yet. 1236 01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:14.400 I mean maybe, but. 1237 01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:16.519 Because I mean the Perfect Storm I remember was like 1238 01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:18.679 a big leap forward for water. 1239 01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:21.239 Yep, you know what I mean. 1240 01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:24.199 Like this is still kind of early playing with different 1241 01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:27.199 elements and seeing what you can the element's period, just 1242 01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:29.440 coming up with a fake water period, but then trying 1243 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.000 to manipulate the water to put some sort of fantastical 1244 01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:35.000 face in it, and they just weren't quite there yet. 1245 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:37.920 Perfect Storm was the year before this, I think. 1246 01:04:37.840 --> 01:04:42.920 Right, Okay, Yeah, if you watch that i LM documentary 1247 01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:48.000 on Disney Plus, they talk about that and just the 1248 01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:53.920 math of trying to create fake water. Yeah, it's highly 1249 01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:55.960 recommend that. I don't remember exactly what it's called. It's 1250 01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.559 the ILM. It's like a three episodes I think behind 1251 01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:00.199 the scenes. 1252 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:02.920 About I don't know them, starting. 1253 01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:04.559 With Star Wars all the way up to today, and 1254 01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:05.960 it's really fascinating. 1255 01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:13.119 So tell me you weren't partially expecting that falcon to 1256 01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:15.000 end up served on a dinner plate like in the 1257 01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:19.760 Legend of Zorro movie. Totally yeh found you Like, were 1258 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:23.079 you trying to send this message? Ah? Yeah, it's kind 1259 01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.039 of disappointed we didn't get that, to be honest. 1260 01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:29.159 See how this stuff, like, I know some of those 1261 01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.760 things probably in the background aren't real or whatever, but like, 1262 01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:36.159 I don't know, it's just like having the real shrubbery 1263 01:05:36.199 --> 01:05:39.239 back there. I just feel like everything is so overtouched 1264 01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.519 these days, yeah, that it just gives the illusion of 1265 01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:44.599 just nothing feels quite right or real. 1266 01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:48.679 Yeah. Well, I think it is kind of the Marvel 1267 01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:53.719 problem right where. You know, what the Marvel folks have 1268 01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:56.159 realized is, in order to get these movies with these 1269 01:05:56.280 --> 01:06:00.000 enormous casts, will you film wherever it's convenient for them, 1270 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.440 and then you just smush them together. Yeah, and then 1271 01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:06.000 you fill it all in later. Yeah, And I think 1272 01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:07.599 that can work up to a point, but you do 1273 01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:09.920 start running into the limitation. Like remember a year ago 1274 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:12.360 we were talking about Captain America Civil War. How very 1275 01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.840 obviously Scarlett Johansson was nowhere near anybody else. 1276 01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:20.119 Yeah, right, right right, you know, yeah, Or it's like 1277 01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:24.480 now because they can, they'll be like, we shot this 1278 01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:27.320 scene to take place in the library, but we decided 1279 01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:30.719 later we'd rather have it be on a basketball court. Yeah, 1280 01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:33.679 So then they just change every element around the actors. 1281 01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:35.440 And I just really do feel like you feel that 1282 01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:37.480 by the way, this whole going across the moon thing 1283 01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:43.480 in the dirigible or whatever. I was like, that's ridiculous, 1284 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.719 and I love it, you know what I mean, Like 1285 01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.800 it's a fantasy. Yeah, it feels almost like fairy tale 1286 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:50.840 like and I kind of liked it. 1287 01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:54.159 I don't know. Do you have feelings about that? Well, 1288 01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:57.719 you can't help but think of Et and Elliott totally totally. 1289 01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:04.519 Oh, by the way, there's this amazing line here. Yeah, 1290 01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:07.079 that where he goes it is written. He's like, where 1291 01:07:07.239 --> 01:07:10.639 is all this stuff written? I love that? 1292 01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:13.239 It's so funny. Well, that's why you have a character 1293 01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:17.440 like like Jonathan is to just kind of, you know, 1294 01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:20.880 put to lampshade some of the silliness of this stuff. 1295 01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:21.079 You know. 1296 01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:23.519 Yeah, but I mean we hear that in so many movies. 1297 01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.199 You know it is written, and they're like, okay, you know, 1298 01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:28.000 I believe you because you said it was written somewhere. 1299 01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:29.800 It's like, where where is it written? 1300 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:32.480 And just the movie stops there, show me, show me 1301 01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:35.199 where it's written. I got nowhere to be. 1302 01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:37.360 That'd be like so family guy. And then you cut 1303 01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:40.000 to them stopping their adventure and having to go to 1304 01:07:40.039 --> 01:07:45.239 some special library and the books checked out. They're like, well, 1305 01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:50.320 it's here. You can see it in the card catalog. 1306 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:55.920 But see, I like this this moment right here, just 1307 01:07:55.960 --> 01:07:57.679 I want my son back. It's just a nice it's 1308 01:07:57.719 --> 01:07:59.719 a nice moment, you know. Yeah, Yeah, make him feel 1309 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:03.280 like a fan family. It's it's it's tricky, right because 1310 01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:10.079 you know, we have to feel their sense of peril 1311 01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:12.800 because it's their child, and you know, one can imagine 1312 01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:17.359 what they're going through. But yet, you know Alex he 1313 01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.279 can't be helpless either, and so you know he's sort 1314 01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:23.159 of plucky and so I mean there's sort of two 1315 01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:24.680 masters that are being serviced there. 1316 01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:28.800 Yeah, but I think it works. I think it's nice. 1317 01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:30.680 I think it helps a lot. It kind of makes 1318 01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:33.840 me think I wish we had seen a scene of 1319 01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:41.000 them as a trio, yeah, you know, a family unit 1320 01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:44.000 or something, because at the beginning, he like basically almost 1321 01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:48.399 kills his parents, you know, through his tomfoolery in the caves, 1322 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:50.920 and then like when they're talking at the top of 1323 01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:53.359 the stairs, he's just kind of messing around with the wrist. 1324 01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:55.960 But he doesn't almost kill his parents. I mean, they're 1325 01:08:56.199 --> 01:08:58.680 separately having their own tomfoolery. See this right there, this 1326 01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:01.680 is the Bart Simpson moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, are we 1327 01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:03.520 there yet? Are we there yet? And then he puts 1328 01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:06.600 the knife in the thing and he's like great, ay man, 1329 01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:10.000 He's like I missed, I miss come on. It's funny. 1330 01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:14.119 Like I can imagine a scene where he's doing something 1331 01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:17.640 and like almost gets into trouble, but then like you know, 1332 01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:20.520 Rick lifts him up and he's like hey, you know, 1333 01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.199 like gotta be careful there, like and she's like, just 1334 01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:25.000 like your father, Like we see them as like a 1335 01:09:25.119 --> 01:09:27.920 unit or something. If we don't have that scene. 1336 01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:30.239 Well, we see Alex with his dad, and we see 1337 01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:31.800 Alex with his mom, and we see both of them 1338 01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:33.960 have a fun relationship with him. I think that that 1339 01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:38.800 does some of the work there. Yeah. Yeah, look at 1340 01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:40.840 that Arnold voslu he's back baby. 1341 01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:43.279 Yeah, oh yeah wow. It's uh what do we like 1342 01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:43.840 an hour in? 1343 01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:50.000 Yeah? I don't. I don't know if this new new 1344 01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:53.000 film is going to be im Hotep centric, but that 1345 01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:58.760 would be a challenge to surmount because he's aged. Yeah, 1346 01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:01.600 because you know, yeah, he's that you know, he's an 1347 01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:02.520 old guy now. 1348 01:10:02.439 --> 01:10:04.840 Yeah, like he should just because he is like a 1349 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.119 preserved dead person. Yeah, he should look the same. It 1350 01:10:07.199 --> 01:10:10.920 looked the same yeah, yeah, I don't know what you do. 1351 01:10:12.399 --> 01:10:13.760 Come up with the line.

I gotta say, Actually, yeah, 1388 01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:25.239 for the most part, sometimes I don't even realize it's 1389 01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:28.359 a digital double, but there just really is something to 1390 01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:30.479 be said about or at least getting a shot of 1391 01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:33.279 them like rolling into frame or something, and the appearance 1392 01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:37.680 like they're really involved in the action, and like, I 1393 01:12:37.680 --> 01:12:40.479 don't know, I just I noticed it in this film and. 1394 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:42.800 I appreciated it.

I mean, I don't 1410 01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:33.760 know if you remember when we were at the Hollywood 1411 01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:36.960 Critics Awards a couple of years ago. Remember he was there, Yeah, 1412 01:13:37.000 --> 01:13:39.479 oh yeah, and just I mean I didn't even go 1413 01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:41.079 approach him, but I mean you just see the look 1414 01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:43.239 on his face. It wasn't it was like like what 1415 01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:46.159 am I doing here? Kind of thing, you know, which 1416 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:46.880 made me happy. 1417 01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:49.479 I remember when he was in Killers of the Flower 1418 01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:52.199 Moon Yep, I was like, dude, you're in a Scorsese movie, 1419 01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:54.520 like he's my friend or something, you know, like, yeah, 1420 01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:55.199 that's awesome. 1421 01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:02.439 Yeah, so all bit here. How much you think this was, like, hey, 1422 01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:04.279 we want to put Rachel bis in like a really 1423 01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:10.399 skim be I mean, yeah, totally right. Yeah, all this 1424 01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:14.159 reincarnation a go go is a little much. 1425 01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:22.760 Yeah, it feels like a few extra steps than we need. However, 1426 01:14:22.800 --> 01:14:24.840 I gotta give credit where it's due. Apparently they really 1427 01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:26.920 did train for all this stuff, and it does. It 1428 01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:30.039 looks cool, like the fighting with size I mean even 1429 01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.039 in the inter Turtles struggle to make fighting with sizes 1430 01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:32.439 look good. 1431 01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:36.720 You know, Now, I don't think that's really Rachel mccadams 1432 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:39.840 doing those summer songs or vice. Yeah no, or yeah, 1433 01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:43.600 did I say Rachel mcaddams. Yeah, it's definitely not Rachel McAdams. 1434 01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:46.279 I know that, as actually did. 1435 01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:54.000 You won't believe this bit of trivia it is, But 1436 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:57.439 there's enough here of them twirling stuff around and whatever. 1437 01:14:57.479 --> 01:15:00.079 It cuts well there. 1438 01:14:59.640 --> 01:15:02.520 But it's this and then the final fight scene there's 1439 01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:05.479 a little matrix sish stuff happening for sure, for sure 1440 01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:08.119 where it's like where you watch it, you're like, oh, yes, 1441 01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:09.640 as was the style at the time. 1442 01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:13.760 Yeah, I was thinking that with Charlie's Angels right where 1443 01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:15.920 there's just made no sense for them to be doing 1444 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:18.199 like Matrix like wire fou. 1445 01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:18.920 Yeah. 1446 01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:21.960 Yeah, but it's like, I don't know, we're really into 1447 01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:28.119 that then, Yeah. 1448 01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:29.359 I don't know. I don't. I don't think these two 1449 01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:33.359 like each other very much. Brian seems to me she 1450 01:15:33.399 --> 01:15:35.199 doesn't like her future stepmom. Here. 1451 01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:38.560 Yes, that's kind of strange. Actually, now I think about it, 1452 01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:39.960 like the same age. 1453 01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:44.479 Yeah, this is Pharaoh. I'm gonna say, you know, I 1454 01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:47.760 don't know what the things were like in their time. 1455 01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:50.039 I think maybe he had it coming. 1456 01:15:52.279 --> 01:15:54.760 But now, isn't this touched on in the first movie? 1457 01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.439 Yeah, it is, so we we kind of do a 1458 01:15:57.439 --> 01:15:58.520 little back to the future to. 1459 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:01.760 Action and literally had that thought. Yes, it's like we 1460 01:16:01.840 --> 01:16:05.600 go back into the first movie. Yeah, but we're adding 1461 01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:08.840 on to it right exactly. Mean Rachel Weiss wasn't fighting 1462 01:16:08.920 --> 01:16:09.680 with size. 1463 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.399 Yeah, so like that that definitely did not happen to 1464 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:16.920 the person. Yeah, like we see, uh the scene where 1465 01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:21.159 where em O tip and and and an Ox him 1466 01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:23.319 and where they killed a pharaoh, but we we see 1467 01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:25.119 it from her perspective right here. 1468 01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:33.760 Yes, yes, yes, which, by the way, the uh. 1469 01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:35.600 What's her name? 1470 01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:39.199 Not Anox suman Anna Moon? 1471 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:39.960 Damn it. 1472 01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:42.800 I love this by the way, though, where the pharaoh 1473 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:47.199 comes in and she totally does the like, you know, 1474 01:16:47.319 --> 01:16:49.560 like just standing with the statue kind of. 1475 01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:53.199 Oh hey, I was expecting you. 1476 01:16:53.199 --> 01:17:00.319 You don't talk about like, ye, it's hilarious. Wait here 1477 01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:05.159 is just puts her arm on that statue and. 1478 01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:06.960 They would have gone away with it, except that that 1479 01:17:07.279 --> 01:17:10.199 m O Tep got a little handsy with her with 1480 01:17:10.239 --> 01:17:11.119 her arm tattoo. 1481 01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:14.800 Although I gotta be honest, if I walked in on 1482 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:17.039 her like that, I'd be too distracted to be thinking 1483 01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:18.199 about michelse. 1484 01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:21.920 Well, not pharaoh. That's that's why he's the pharaoh and 1485 01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:25.760 you're not Brian. That's true. That's true. Although uh, if 1486 01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:29.359 you were the pharaoh, you probably wouldn't be dead then. Yeah, 1487 01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:36.840 to show so there is that whoops? 1488 01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:46.960 So yeah, yeah. How is nepher Tierri's spirit?

Was that soul put into her or something? 1492 01:17:53.520 --> 01:17:57.840 Or what's the Well as I see it, m O 1493 01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:01.199 Tep is doing his little ritual to put a Sunamon's 1494 01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:03.159 soul back in this new body. 1495 01:18:04.079 --> 01:18:07.920 Yes, is she in the line of this person? Because 1496 01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:09.760 she looks exactly the same or is it just. 1497 01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:15.279 Uh, you can't see me, but I'm doing the shrug emoji. Okay, Okay, 1498 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:18.359 that thing just now where she stabs herself and dies, yeah, 1499 01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:20.119 is kind of hilarious. Dude. 1500 01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:23.800 I thought about how everybody gives Marian Kotieri or k 1501 01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:28.279 crap about her death scene and uh, Dark Knight rises yep, 1502 01:18:28.479 --> 01:18:30.199 And I was like, nah, I think we have a 1503 01:18:30.239 --> 01:18:30.840 new contender. 1504 01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:35.479 We may so anyway, Uh, I see it as they're 1505 01:18:35.479 --> 01:18:41.319 doing the ritual, and so because Rachel Vice is also 1506 01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.960 Nepher Tieri, which was changed from Neffer TD by the way, 1507 01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.640 which is hilarious because they were like, people are gonna 1508 01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:51.600 laugh because of TD ha titty, Yeah, yeah that is 1509 01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:54.960 which which on the one hand, you're like, God, that's stupid, 1510 01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:56.920 but you're like, yeah, you know what, maybe that was 1511 01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:59.399 probably the right instinct because yeah, maybe I don't know 1512 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:04.520 people being people, but so so as a result of 1513 01:19:04.520 --> 01:19:07.119 the ritual, they're sort of re experiencing it. So so 1514 01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:10.800 like Evy sort of gets caught up in it because 1515 01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:14.159 I see that this is me. I'm just like I'm 1516 01:19:14.199 --> 01:19:18.920 just brainstorming here. You know. Hopefully Stephen Summers is out 1517 01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:21.359 there somewhere giving me a Miagi look, because I don't know. 1518 01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:25.199 It's so funny our different takes on that because I'm 1519 01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:29.479 just like like, oh, hug, it's like that when I 1520 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:32.079 picture his thing, But I I like giving him a 1521 01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:32.840 more stoic take. 1522 01:19:37.079 --> 01:19:42.279 That's funny. Camels watch out, they spit, they do. 1523 01:19:42.479 --> 01:19:48.000 Just Yeah, have we ever done Aladdin? 1524 01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:55.760 We have not done Aladdin amazingly enough, do we? 1525 01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:57.800 We didn't get here yet, right, But I do love 1526 01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:00.640 the whole conceit where he's leaving these little clue Yeah, 1527 01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:03.279 it's clever, Yeah, little smart castles and stuff. 1528 01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:08.840 It's a good idea. I mean, I find all of 1529 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.119 the scenes with mister Echo and the kid very funny. 1530 01:20:12.199 --> 01:20:14.560 And I know I keep calling him mister Echo. I 1531 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:17.680 know that's not his name. Yeah, but no, I of 1532 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:25.199 course his name is extraordinary and I don't want to 1533 01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:30.199 mispronounce it, So instead I will speak of his beloved 1534 01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:33.399 character from Lost. Yeah, beloved question mark character from Lost? 1535 01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:35.039 I think so, right, that's my memory. 1536 01:20:35.239 --> 01:20:38.319 Was mister Echo beloved? I don't know. I thought so. 1537 01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:42.560 He was one of the tailies, right, oh man? He was? 1538 01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:44.039 Did people like the tailies? 1539 01:20:46.840 --> 01:20:48.600 It's just like all a blur in my head now, 1540 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:50.479 But man, was I into that show? 1541 01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:53.119 No, when it was on, I'd like to watch it. 1542 01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:55.159 Sometimes I owe my Master's thesis to lust. 1543 01:20:56.159 --> 01:21:01.880 Yeah that's right, dude. You know it'd be hilarious. I 1544 01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:04.680 would have loved because he looks at the hourglass in 1545 01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:07.479 the sand, and I'm just loving how not precise that 1546 01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:09.720 would actually be. I think it would be funny if 1547 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:12.600 Emo tep he's the one who did it right, he 1548 01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:14.840 started it. He had the mask on, so it'd be 1549 01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:17.439 funny if he's like, now we must go, and then 1550 01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:18.279 he knocks it over. 1551 01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:21.560 I was like, who the like has to put it 1552 01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:24.199 back up? You know what I mean. So it's like, hey, 1553 01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.960 to be fair. I think when he I don't think 1554 01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:30.399 he's like from now, Like when he flips it over, 1555 01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:34.399 he's using it as a metaphor. I know. Just I 1556 01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:36.920 don't know, because it's seven days from when he put 1557 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:37.399 the thing on. 1558 01:21:37.760 --> 01:21:40.960 Yeah, so just so the kid understands the passage of time. 1559 01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:42.520 That's right, because kids don't. 1560 01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:47.399 Yeah, you know, I the kid's fine. 1561 01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:48.159 The kid's fine. 1562 01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:52.680 Something something occurred to me watching him with mister Echo. 1563 01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:53.600 I'm going to join you. 1564 01:21:55.159 --> 01:21:58.920 I think he's a little cocky for me, sure, And 1565 01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:03.880 I think short Round is confident, but he also experiences 1566 01:22:04.039 --> 01:22:06.520 doubt and fear and all sorts of things that a 1567 01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:10.399 person might. And I think if this kid did have 1568 01:22:10.479 --> 01:22:14.199 maybe a few more moments of where are you mom, 1569 01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:16.880 you know, or something like, it might might endear me 1570 01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:18.520 to him a little bit more. But he's just always 1571 01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:22.479 very cocky and and I don't know, I don't know. 1572 01:22:23.359 --> 01:22:35.680 I think you just don't like kids my temple. That's funny. 1573 01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:41.600 See he keeps spotting the falcon. 1574 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:44.920 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, And you're right, that would have 1575 01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:48.760 been a good moment because they shoot it later, right. 1576 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:53.359 Yeah, yeah yeah, And he's like Horace. It'd be funny 1577 01:22:53.359 --> 01:22:57.760 if they serve them chicken and he's like Horas. I'm 1578 01:22:57.800 --> 01:23:00.000 just I think, just because we just saw that recently 1579 01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:01.479 in Thatzro movie. 1580 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:03.600 That I feel like I watched something else recently where 1581 01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:05.119 they did that and they fed someone a bird? 1582 01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:08.760 Is that like a recurring? Is that a trope that 1583 01:23:08.880 --> 01:23:11.760 I wasn't even aware of? Oh man, what was I'm 1584 01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:16.680 not gonna remember what it was. But so you have 1585 01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:21.399 not seen the third one? No, So, by the way, 1586 01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:24.239 there is almost that you never felt that urge to 1587 01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:29.279 see the Rachel Viceless Mummy movie. Right, and she's it's 1588 01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:31.720 not like she's the character is gone, right, They just 1589 01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:36.000 recast that character. Yeah, with somebody who no disrespect to 1590 01:23:36.079 --> 01:23:38.039 Maria Bellow, who I think is a good actress. But god, 1591 01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:40.880 could you have found somebody who looks less like Rachel Weiss? Yeah? 1592 01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:43.399 Yeah, like don't even feel like they're related. 1593 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:48.279 Yeah, yeah, so weird. Yeah, I've seen that movie just 1594 01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:49.920 the one time. That was directed by Rob Cohen. 1595 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:57.920 Oh interesting, Okay, Yeah, I gotta admit. As I was 1596 01:23:57.960 --> 01:24:02.119 watching this, I thought, oh, there's like another adventure with 1597 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:04.920 most of these characters, like that seems like something I 1598 01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:07.479 could see one night being in the movie for But yeah, 1599 01:24:07.479 --> 01:24:10.279 I just haven't seen it. 1600 01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:14.359 I mean that, Yeah, I I've saw I've seen it 1601 01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:17.600 one time back around when it came out, and I 1602 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:21.159 didn't see it in the theater. I saw it on cable. Uh. 1603 01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:24.359 But that that's like Britton Fraser is doing a lot 1604 01:24:24.399 --> 01:24:27.920 of lifting for that one. Sure, sure, sure, because I. 1605 01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.239 Mean what's what? What what's different about it? Or what 1606 01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:33.359 doesn't work as well? I mean what because it also 1607 01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:34.399 didn't perform very well? 1608 01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:38.960 Yeah? Uh, well, what's different? Is just about everything, right, 1609 01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:42.439 I mean ev is different for one. Yeah, uh, it's 1610 01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:44.800 it's no No m O tep so. So it's the 1611 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:51.399 Terracotta Warriors, and it's the it's the Dragon Emperor. Okay. Uh. 1612 01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:53.800 Rob Cohen is not not a great director. 1613 01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:57.640 I would say, did he do the first Fast and Furious? 1614 01:24:57.800 --> 01:25:01.000 He did? Yeah, yeah, just a few weeks after this 1615 01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:05.119 came out. Well, uh, it's just everything. Yeah, you know 1616 01:25:05.239 --> 01:25:11.039 the Yeah, it's again. I I I suspect we will 1617 01:25:11.079 --> 01:25:14.039 be watching it for you know, whenever, whenever the third, 1618 01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:15.840 whenever the fourth one of these comes out. 1619 01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:17.319 It's the path we've chosen. 1620 01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:19.760 It is the path we're on. So so you know, 1621 01:25:19.800 --> 01:25:22.239 I'll almost withhold my thoughts until it's fresher. But I 1622 01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:25.199 I remember it not blowing me away. It's weird because 1623 01:25:25.239 --> 01:25:29.199 because jet Lee is the the the heel, Michelle Yeoh 1624 01:25:29.279 --> 01:25:30.640 is in it. I mean, it's got a good cast. 1625 01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:33.680 Oh interesting, okay, Yeah, it's just kind of you know, 1626 01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:37.000 at some point, I know there there is one scene 1627 01:25:37.479 --> 01:25:42.880 where they the characters crash in the Himalayas and they 1628 01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:49.279 have to they face off with Yeti's okay, and I'm like, no, 1629 01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:53.760 don't right, that's that's my no no, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1630 01:25:53.800 --> 01:25:57.199 yeah yeah, because it's just one bridge too far. See. 1631 01:25:57.199 --> 01:25:59.399 Then I love it if they were saved by a 1632 01:25:59.439 --> 01:26:01.560 snowman and like what do we call you? 1633 01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.880 And he's like frosty, Like why not just go full 1634 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:07.960 myth that's the only thing missing and yeah yeah. At 1635 01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:12.199 one point they're throwing something and you've got Yeti's doing 1636 01:26:12.439 --> 01:26:14.039 like field goal signals. 1637 01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:18.520 Oh really yeah, okay, so that's what we're doing. 1638 01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:22.479 That's that. Yeah, So actually I want to revise what 1639 01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:22.880 I did. 1640 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:26.520 So they the snowman he doesn't have a name because 1641 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:29.560 he doesn't have hees he's been separated from his people, 1642 01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:32.159 he's never really interacted with someone, and he's just like, 1643 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:35.119 I don't have a name. And then they shake hands. 1644 01:26:35.119 --> 01:26:38.840 He goes, oh that's a little frosty. And then someone goes, 1645 01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:46.079 say that again, that's what we do credits. Yeah, thank 1646 01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:46.960 you for letting me do that. 1647 01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:49.800 I you know what, it wouldn't have been a commentary 1648 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:55.359 without it. I look at Arnold Bosley, who like performing 1649 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:59.680 the like swallowing the ship or whatever, yeah, and I'm like, 1650 01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:04.640 did he feel weird doing all that? Yeah? Right, this 1651 01:27:04.720 --> 01:27:07.520 is weird. That said I like this piece right here, 1652 01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:10.880 he walks by the kid and he like tussles his hair. Yes, yes, 1653 01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:13.079 And there you go. There's a nice moment for you 1654 01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:15.239 when you were wanting. There you go. 1655 01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:18.119 Finally he's been humbled. Now his parents are dead exactly. 1656 01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:21.039 I like that whole bit where he's he seems genuinely 1657 01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:23.199 scared and and and the mummy is such a piece 1658 01:27:23.239 --> 01:27:25.000 of shit asshole that he just tussles his hair. 1659 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.760 Yeah, I just killed your parents, Pat, Pat Okay, Now, 1660 01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:33.800 now look at the state of this airship. I didn't 1661 01:27:33.840 --> 01:27:34.800 even think about it. 1662 01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:38.600 There is there is no universe where he's able to 1663 01:27:38.960 --> 01:27:40.159 pull a last minute safe. 1664 01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:46.439 That is hilarious. I can't believe I didn't. I do 1665 01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:49.359 remember getting up to make popcorn at one point. Maybe 1666 01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:53.319 it was this point. That is really funny. They should 1667 01:27:53.359 --> 01:27:57.479 have put more like, I don't know, you know, tournique 1668 01:27:57.760 --> 01:27:59.199 sort of whatever you want. I don't know what you 1669 01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:01.039 put on a ship that's busted, but like made it 1670 01:28:01.039 --> 01:28:03.439 look way more cobbled back together at the. 1671 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:06.920 End, because literally you have o'connorall like, well is he 1672 01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:11.359 if anybody can find hot air, it's you. And I'm like, okay, 1673 01:28:11.399 --> 01:28:15.039 ha ha but no, seriously, doesn't he say something about 1674 01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:15.640 its gas. 1675 01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:21.079 It's not we're gonna we're gonna fill it up. Yeah. 1676 01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:27.800 Anyway, there goes horace. Poor little bird. He's trying to help. 1677 01:28:28.239 --> 01:28:30.000 Yeah, he's just helping him out. 1678 01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:31.760 He was helping our death. But look at look at 1679 01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:36.720 the poor lady. He's so sad. 1680 01:28:37.119 --> 01:28:40.359 I wish it had landed right in front of him. 1681 01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:41.199 And it was like. 1682 01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:44.760 And it just said, like its subtitles, I don't think 1683 01:28:44.800 --> 01:28:47.800 I'm gonna make it, and it's just like, you know. 1684 01:28:47.800 --> 01:28:49.960 He's just like, don't talk that way. Rest now. 1685 01:28:50.720 --> 01:28:52.560 Yeah, and then yeah, and then it dies with its 1686 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:55.359 eyes open and he has to close his little eye 1687 01:28:55.439 --> 01:28:56.279 bird eyelids. 1688 01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:03.960 Just do it. We missed out. Oh, by the way, 1689 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:04.800 there's a wipe there. 1690 01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:06.840 Sort of reminds me of Star Wars because most movies 1691 01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:08.920 don't do that a lot. I saw a movie recently 1692 01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:11.439 that I'm forgetting what it was, which is the trend 1693 01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:14.560 in this commentary, and they did wipes and I was like, 1694 01:29:14.600 --> 01:29:17.159 you know, I love it when I see them because 1695 01:29:17.159 --> 01:29:19.399 I'm like, yeah, let's try that. Maybe we can bring 1696 01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:22.520 that back. But I don't know that I would risk 1697 01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:23.720 it if I was making a movie. 1698 01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:26.239 Oh, you wouldn't put a star wipe a star. 1699 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:27.680 Wipe you know what I mean, Like, you know, wipe 1700 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:30.600 left to right or something like. Yeah, if you're making 1701 01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:32.880 an adventure or a fantasy or something, there's something kind 1702 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:35.359 of fun and playful about it. 1703 01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:38.159 Yeah. I don't know that is true, don't. We don't 1704 01:29:38.199 --> 01:29:45.560 see them as much. Yeah, So these pigmy mummies, if 1705 01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:46.840 you think of them. 1706 01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:48.199 Yeah, what do I think of them? 1707 01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:51.119 Yeah? 1708 01:29:51.199 --> 01:29:52.520 I think you lift them out of the movie and 1709 01:29:52.520 --> 01:29:53.239 you wouldn't miss it. 1710 01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:57.159 That My thought was, it's weird because I start thinking 1711 01:29:57.239 --> 01:30:01.560 like in terms of like so like just like there's 1712 01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:04.159 like mummy cultures everywhere and they're all just all coming 1713 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:07.479 back to life everywhere. It's weird. But then you know 1714 01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:12.880 it's clearly there's at least some like velociraptors in oh, 1715 01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:16.640 the Lost World. That's that's what came to my mind. 1716 01:30:16.840 --> 01:30:18.760 Now actually think about it, and I'm not accusing anyone 1717 01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:20.640 of anything, but like you've you got those sort of 1718 01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:23.359 t two moments earlier. I thought of that too, because 1719 01:30:23.479 --> 01:30:26.760 you got the people walking through that tall grass basically 1720 01:30:26.840 --> 01:30:29.560 being sucked down like the people, you know, the people 1721 01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:33.359 in Lost World a lot of like feeling the influences. 1722 01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:37.479 Maybe, well, I mean this this movie is such a 1723 01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:41.760 pastiche right, yeah, the so it makes sense that it 1724 01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:45.359 seems like Summers is is that type of filmmaker who 1725 01:30:45.479 --> 01:30:48.000 just who wears those influences on a sleeve. Yeah. 1726 01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:50.840 And by the way, most artists do, you know what 1727 01:30:50.840 --> 01:30:53.119 I mean. So that's sure that and if you can 1728 01:30:53.159 --> 01:30:55.439 take something that you've seen before and run with it 1729 01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:57.520 and make it your own, I mean, hey, that's yeah, 1730 01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:01.840 good artists do. So it's not an accusation, is what 1731 01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:02.640 I'm trying to say. 1732 01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:06.439 Yeah, no, no, I mean look, look, George Lucas and 1733 01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:08.960 Steven Spielberg were their inspirations in their sleep, so I mean. 1734 01:31:08.880 --> 01:31:10.640 That's exactly exactly exactly. 1735 01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:11.880 We talk about that a lot. 1736 01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:15.439 But their inspirations didn't live on as long as their 1737 01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:18.640 work has. So when people rip on Spielberg and Lucas, 1738 01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:20.760 immediately you go, oh, I know what that is because 1739 01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:22.880 we're still watching that stuff and they're still making sequels 1740 01:31:22.920 --> 01:31:25.720 to that stuff. But the things that you know, Lucas 1741 01:31:25.720 --> 01:31:30.439 and Spielberg watched, we don't generally tend to see as much, right, 1742 01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:32.800 And so it's almost like they have reclaimed those things 1743 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:35.800 and made them they get associated with those true exactly. 1744 01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:38.359 Well it's I mean, just a few weeks after this, 1745 01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:40.359 we had The Fast and the Furious, which is a 1746 01:31:40.359 --> 01:31:44.880 pretty transparent ripoff of Point Break. Yeah, right, right exactly. 1747 01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:48.439 You know, but I suspect less people remember Point Break 1748 01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:52.239 than are fully enveloped in the Fast and Furious franchise, 1749 01:31:52.960 --> 01:31:53.159 you know. 1750 01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:58.319 And there was a year where I was watching all 1751 01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:01.399 the Simpsons or listening to all this's commentaries for every 1752 01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:05.079 episode for like the first ten seasons, and I love it. 1753 01:32:05.119 --> 01:32:08.760 They're amazing, and it was amazing to learn how many 1754 01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:11.239 jokes they're like, oh, we got that from when I 1755 01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:12.720 was a kid. I watched the show and the guy 1756 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.119 used to say that, and I'm like, oh, you didn't 1757 01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:19.680 make that up, you know. Like it was illuminating, and 1758 01:32:19.760 --> 01:32:25.239 also like kind of it gave me like relief to 1759 01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:28.560 know that these people aren't supernatural comedic geniuses, you know 1760 01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:30.399 what I mean. They're just learned how to take things 1761 01:32:30.439 --> 01:32:32.840 that they remembered or were inspired by and put them 1762 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:34.880 into the Simpsons universe in a unique sort of way. 1763 01:32:34.920 --> 01:32:37.640 And so it made it seem like, oh, that's it's 1764 01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:41.439 possible to be that funny, right, what I mean, I 1765 01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:42.960 don't know. I found it to be a cool thing 1766 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:44.680 instead of like a disappointment to learn that. 1767 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:47.600 Yeah. Well, I mean, look, it's it's all part of 1768 01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:49.800 a lineage. M hm. That makes sense. 1769 01:32:53.439 --> 01:32:55.560 But I also feel like with these Pigmy characters, they're 1770 01:32:55.600 --> 01:32:59.800 not the technology isn't there, right, So that doesn't help 1771 01:32:59.800 --> 01:33:03.680 on of everything else. You know, you just got these 1772 01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:08.199 little cartoon characters just kind of like like the Critters 1773 01:33:08.960 --> 01:33:10.760 you know what I mean, from the movie Critters in 1774 01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:13.720 the eighties, Like just kind of running around just ahha, 1775 01:33:13.720 --> 01:33:17.840 cackling a camera. I don't know, I wouldn't mind moving along. 1776 01:33:18.239 --> 01:33:21.079 That's it's it's weird because the movie's over two hours. 1777 01:33:21.159 --> 01:33:23.159 I think I think there's one sequence who could have 1778 01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:23.640 done without. 1779 01:33:23.920 --> 01:33:28.600 Yeah, although I do like the way this looks like, 1780 01:33:28.640 --> 01:33:30.399 I like seeing them out there and all this real, 1781 01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:32.199 you know. 1782 01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:34.720 So as I was watching this, I was like, is 1783 01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:39.239 this a sound stage or is this location? It could 1784 01:33:39.279 --> 01:33:39.680 be either. 1785 01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:43.159 Frankly, yeah, but I do like that I can tell 1786 01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:47.479 that they're wandering through real stuff, right, and just seeing 1787 01:33:47.520 --> 01:33:51.000 the light, like real light dancing off of all. 1788 01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:54.720 These leaves just feels good. I was reading something too 1789 01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:55.399 about how. 1790 01:33:55.359 --> 01:33:58.079 Difficult it was with the torches because they only burned 1791 01:33:58.079 --> 01:33:59.319 for about three minutes at a time. 1792 01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:03.119 Oh. Interesting, And sometimes I think about that in movies. 1793 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:06.800 You know, you watch you know, Indiana Jones take a bone, right, 1794 01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:08.600 you know, and they wrap like something around it, and 1795 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:10.119 then he's got like this torch. 1796 01:34:09.920 --> 01:34:12.239 That's just like burning and forever. 1797 01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:15.239 Yeah, and it's just it's just funny to think in 1798 01:34:15.279 --> 01:34:17.399 real life, like half the things we would love to 1799 01:34:17.560 --> 01:34:19.159 try just would ever work. 1800 01:34:22.920 --> 01:34:25.319 Well, if there's one thing that horror movies have taught 1801 01:34:25.319 --> 01:34:31.600 me is never go like close to stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, 1802 01:34:31.680 --> 01:34:34.800 yeah this, Yeah, what's that weird looking thing? Let me 1803 01:34:34.840 --> 01:34:37.439 get closer. No, there's your first mistake. Yeah, it's a 1804 01:34:37.479 --> 01:34:41.600 good get further away. Yeah, well, let me pull out 1805 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:44.199 my iPhone camera and do like the zoom in. That's 1806 01:34:44.239 --> 01:34:45.880 how I'm gonna see what it looks like. 1807 01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:50.960 That is hilarious. You know, I'm like of two minds. Actually, now, 1808 01:34:51.039 --> 01:34:54.000 I do think the sequence is fun. I guess I 1809 01:34:54.079 --> 01:34:56.840 just don't care for those creatures very much. And then 1810 01:34:56.880 --> 01:34:58.840 when they come back later, it's just like an extra 1811 01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:03.199 thing that maybe we didn't need. But but this this is fun. 1812 01:35:04.319 --> 01:35:07.039 Seeing all those darts hit their chests and they fall over. 1813 01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:11.680 That stuff is great. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even make 1814 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:14.039 the critter's connection. That's that's good. That's kind of what. 1815 01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:16.439 They look like, right, I mean they're like faster Gremlins 1816 01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:16.920 or something. 1817 01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:23.600 Yeah, and they have that kind of comical Gremlins energy. 1818 01:35:23.920 --> 01:35:28.159 Yeah yeah, I do like that when they see Emo 1819 01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:31.520 tap and like ooh sorry, you know back in a way. 1820 01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:39.199 You don't mess with Demo tap. Yeah. Yeah, this is yeah, 1821 01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:43.439 very very he lost world. This where they're getting pulled 1822 01:35:43.439 --> 01:35:44.680 into the grass. 1823 01:35:47.079 --> 01:35:49.159 Yeah that was That was so like Jurassic Park, right, 1824 01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:51.359 like drag a guy off screen and then just see 1825 01:35:51.399 --> 01:35:54.239 a bunch of bushes swaying. Yep, so you like know 1826 01:35:54.319 --> 01:35:59.039 what's happening behind the bush? 1827 01:35:59.199 --> 01:36:02.840 Say, they give Jonathan a little hero moment here, yes, 1828 01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:07.119 where Yeah, he's not a stumbling dufist when it comes 1829 01:36:07.119 --> 01:36:11.199 to firing. I do like that. That almost feels like 1830 01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:13.960 a like a John Hannah note. Yeah yeah, yeah, give me, 1831 01:36:14.920 --> 01:36:21.159 give me something, you know. Yeah yeah, so this this 1832 01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:23.439 coming up. Yeah, So so the way the movie is 1833 01:36:23.479 --> 01:36:27.159 situating it, it's like, oh, our death Bay and Lochnaw 1834 01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:31.960 they have like this this age's old rivalry, which like 1835 01:36:33.359 --> 01:36:37.840 I mean, I guess you know sure, right because because 1836 01:36:37.960 --> 01:36:40.520 when when when our death Bay kills him, it's supposed 1837 01:36:40.520 --> 01:36:42.039 to be it's like he has this look on his 1838 01:36:42.079 --> 01:36:46.560 face like oh me, you know, and I was like, well, 1839 01:36:47.319 --> 01:36:51.000 what what do you want us to feel? Like? You 1840 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:54.159 know what I mean? Like I feel like if he 1841 01:36:54.319 --> 01:36:57.880 was and just through some some expo, like you know, 1842 01:36:58.119 --> 01:37:01.079 we were like brothers, he was a madgi yeah, and 1843 01:37:01.159 --> 01:37:03.279 he turned his back on the order like something like that. 1844 01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:06.960 Right, I would lose this sequence happily to gain that moment. 1845 01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:10.880 It's so odd, like make this moment mean something, yeah, 1846 01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:13.159 or you know what I'm saying, like it, I know 1847 01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:15.199 I'm saying this moment and that's where the moment happens. 1848 01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:18.680 But like that thing between them, Yeah, I would give 1849 01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:22.359 up any you know, special effects thing for three minutes 1850 01:37:22.800 --> 01:37:24.159 to make this mean more. 1851 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:27.760 That's exactly it, because because the look on his face 1852 01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:31.600 right right, it's kind of it's like supposed to be 1853 01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:32.000 a thing. 1854 01:37:32.319 --> 01:37:34.680 Yeah, and maybe it was. Maybe they deleted the scene right. 1855 01:37:34.680 --> 01:37:36.079 Right there at look at a look on his face. 1856 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:43.359 Yeah right, yeah, that's odd anyway, those are like little things, 1857 01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:45.800 right because it would have been very easy to just 1858 01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:49.800 have a line of dialogue here there to add some 1859 01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:50.439 weight to that. 1860 01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:52.199 Completely agree. 1861 01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:52.680 You know. 1862 01:37:55.439 --> 01:37:57.159 Actually it'd be kind of funny if they like made 1863 01:37:57.319 --> 01:38:02.439 up in that moment and then Jonathan shoots him. He's 1864 01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:03.479 like I got him. 1865 01:38:04.439 --> 01:38:07.079 They like shake hands. Yeah, he's smiling, and then his 1866 01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:21.479 head explodes like a balloon, yeah, all over him missed out. Yeah, 1867 01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:23.800 that that what we just saw there where the little 1868 01:38:23.800 --> 01:38:25.520 Pigmy guy comes right at the camera. That was in 1869 01:38:25.560 --> 01:38:26.359 the trailer for sure. 1870 01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:30.680 I remember that, sure, and it was probably a new 1871 01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:32.399 sort of thing that we hadn't seen a lot at. 1872 01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:34.079 This I think. I think the Pigmy Guy was also 1873 01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:39.399 listed by name in the in the trailer and little 1874 01:38:39.399 --> 01:38:43.479 Pigmy Man and the Rock as the Scorpion King. You know. 1875 01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:44.079 That's right. 1876 01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:49.760 Well, we've hadn't really talked about the Rock much. I 1877 01:38:49.760 --> 01:38:51.960 think he is done, right, I mean, the rest of 1878 01:38:52.000 --> 01:38:52.520 it is just. 1879 01:38:52.520 --> 01:38:55.199 Yeah, he was in like three minutes of just sort 1880 01:38:55.239 --> 01:38:57.520 of doing the rock bottom and walking around in the desert. 1881 01:38:57.920 --> 01:39:06.840 Yeah, but this was his first movie, right, I think, Yeah, 1882 01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:07.319 that's right. 1883 01:39:07.680 --> 01:39:14.279 Yeah, he he did his whatever like two days. That's 1884 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:16.039 what Stephen Summer said. It was like two days because 1885 01:39:16.039 --> 01:39:20.079 he it was like in between wrestling bouts, so he 1886 01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:22.399 just showed up in Marrakesha where they were shooting and 1887 01:39:22.439 --> 01:39:25.880 then you know Haku Machente and then you know they 1888 01:39:25.920 --> 01:39:30.560 sent him. Yeah, and those rushes were enough for Universal 1889 01:39:30.600 --> 01:39:32.520 to be like, hey, give this man his own movie. 1890 01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:39.600 Yeah, it's funny because I did not follow wrestling very much. Yeah, 1891 01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:41.760 but I know that he I mean I knew who 1892 01:39:41.760 --> 01:39:45.000 he was because he was that big popular of a figure. 1893 01:39:45.319 --> 01:39:50.119 Yeah right, so yeah he he. I feel like he 1894 01:39:50.680 --> 01:39:54.359 gained a new round of credibility when he hosted SNL 1895 01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:58.760 mmmm because he you know, showed a lot of range. 1896 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:02.760 This is a funny moment right here when O'Connell throws 1897 01:40:02.800 --> 01:40:07.119 the I do like this, Yeah, the dynamite stick like that. 1898 01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:10.920 I like the the the profile shot we get. This 1899 01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:15.119 is hilarious. Just all of them little guys just running 1900 01:40:15.119 --> 01:40:19.439 across the log as it explodes. Very funny. So anyway, 1901 01:40:19.439 --> 01:40:21.039 that was like two thousand, I think when when the 1902 01:40:21.119 --> 01:40:24.079 Rock hosted SNL Okay, he gets this job again. They 1903 01:40:24.079 --> 01:40:25.960 look at his rushes, They're like, give that man a 1904 01:40:26.000 --> 01:40:28.119 spin off. And literally within a year of this movie 1905 01:40:28.119 --> 01:40:32.720 coming out because April of two, the Scorpion King came out, wow, 1906 01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:37.119 and the rest was history Wow April o two, right, 1907 01:40:37.159 --> 01:40:40.399 and then the Rundown was three. I mean, you know, 1908 01:40:40.760 --> 01:40:43.800 he came out the he came out the gate hot. Yeah. 1909 01:40:43.840 --> 01:40:47.760 And I remember the Rundown because I remember Sean really 1910 01:40:47.800 --> 01:40:50.279 liked that movie a lot. Yeah, and so I think 1911 01:40:50.319 --> 01:40:52.239 I watched it with him, and it was sort of 1912 01:40:52.279 --> 01:40:55.800 like him doing like a real you know, acting role 1913 01:40:55.800 --> 01:40:57.760 where it wasn't sort of like a novelty having this 1914 01:40:57.800 --> 01:40:59.920 wrestlers show up as a villain for half that, right 1915 01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:03.159 or something. And then real quick, real good, please. 1916 01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:07.760 It's this bit where O'Connell is outracing the sun for 1917 01:41:07.920 --> 01:41:09.439 it is ridiculous obviously. 1918 01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:11.399 Can you imagine if the sun did move that fast? 1919 01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:16.039 Right? Like it defies physics. But but I love this 1920 01:41:16.159 --> 01:41:19.600 moment right here where he's like, it's not easy being 1921 01:41:19.600 --> 01:41:22.079 a dad and his son's like, yeah, but you do 1922 01:41:22.119 --> 01:41:25.119 it really good. Yeah, It's just it's just a nice moment. 1923 01:41:25.159 --> 01:41:26.960 I don't know, like, I like that you have a 1924 01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:29.880 father and son they're not at odds with each other. Yeah, sure, 1925 01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:33.640 the son loves It's just a nice moment. Okay, yeah. 1926 01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:36.560 And then I'll also say this piece coming up where 1927 01:41:36.920 --> 01:41:41.680 where Ev gets stabbed. Yes, and and you know it's 1928 01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:43.760 like you're like, okay, well obviously she's not really dead. 1929 01:41:43.880 --> 01:41:45.640 Like I. You know, even when I watched this, I 1930 01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:47.560 was like, well, there, this isn't that kind of you know, 1931 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:51.159 it ain't that kind of movie. You know, right, that's 1932 01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:54.640 Mark Hamill his imitation of Harrison Ford, you know, right 1933 01:41:54.920 --> 01:41:58.920 about Star Wars. But tell me if I'm wrong. Great 1934 01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:02.079 performance by both them. Yeah, and it looks like she's dying. 1935 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:03.800 Brendan Fraser is awesome here. 1936 01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:07.399 I love him tearing out of that you know place 1937 01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:09.000 after her that and. 1938 01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:12.279 Then just his his despair when it looks like she's dying. 1939 01:42:12.319 --> 01:42:16.520 It's it's heartbreaking. I just love. I love the idea 1940 01:42:16.640 --> 01:42:20.439 that this guy, this macho guy, and it's just you know, 1941 01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:24.359 he's just his heart is tied up in how much 1942 01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:27.399 he loves his wife. I don't know. I think it's great. Yeah, yeah, no, 1943 01:42:27.439 --> 01:42:29.479 I agree. And I think it's a great performance by 1944 01:42:29.640 --> 01:42:31.560 Brendan Fraser right here. I think both of them. I 1945 01:42:31.560 --> 01:42:35.039 think that's just Yeah. 1946 01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:38.439 I do remember this standing out to me last night, 1947 01:42:38.520 --> 01:42:41.439 because you know, this movie is it's fun. You know, 1948 01:42:41.479 --> 01:42:46.000 it's a romp and this felt so sincere, right, yeah, 1949 01:42:46.079 --> 01:42:46.520 it really does. 1950 01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:49.680 Yeah, And again, like it's almost like it's so sincere 1951 01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:52.960 you don't want them to undo it, you know, yeah, sure, sure, 1952 01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:54.520 you know what I mean. But it's like, again, that's 1953 01:42:54.560 --> 01:42:56.439 that's the movie, you know. You know, well, it's not 1954 01:42:56.479 --> 01:42:58.000 gonna end that way. But I think it's a great 1955 01:42:58.000 --> 01:42:59.920 performance regardless, and it goes. 1956 01:42:59.840 --> 01:43:03.439 A long way in making us understand how much they. 1957 01:43:03.319 --> 01:43:07.760 Love each other. I totally agree with that. But yeah, sorry, 1958 01:43:07.760 --> 01:43:10.600 we were talking about the rock No, no, no, it's just well. 1959 01:43:10.600 --> 01:43:12.920 And then I thought it was interesting because he did 1960 01:43:12.960 --> 01:43:16.479 the Rundown thing, and you know there's that scene where 1961 01:43:16.720 --> 01:43:19.920 Schwartznigger's in there, right yeah, basically like hands off the 1962 01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:22.640 action hero mantle to him says something like. 1963 01:43:22.680 --> 01:43:24.359 That fun or something. 1964 01:43:25.159 --> 01:43:31.640 But then I remember he did Southland Tails. 1965 01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:32.199 And I remember be cool. 1966 01:43:32.399 --> 01:43:35.119 Yeah, like he right out of the gate didn't put 1967 01:43:35.159 --> 01:43:38.119 himself in one lane. I think that was what he 1968 01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:40.079 suffered from a little bit after that, where he was 1969 01:43:40.159 --> 01:43:42.159 just kind of kept playing the same character over the 1970 01:43:42.159 --> 01:43:44.239 same guy. But right out of the gate, it's kind 1971 01:43:44.239 --> 01:43:47.960 of bold and fascinating that he experimented a lot, and 1972 01:43:47.960 --> 01:43:50.359 maybe even in movies that you would think the audience 1973 01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:55.359 who would follow him might not might not be their bag, 1974 01:43:55.560 --> 01:43:55.760 you know. 1975 01:43:56.680 --> 01:43:59.279 So it loved that he pushed himself a lot in 1976 01:43:59.319 --> 01:44:02.680 those early you know, I saw the trailer for Coyote 1977 01:44:02.760 --> 01:44:06.159 versus z Acme, which I don't know, did you see that? 1978 01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:09.880 I did? And you know, you got John Cena playing 1979 01:44:09.920 --> 01:44:14.640 a lawyer, right, and I'm like, oh, that's novel, you know, sure, 1980 01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:18.800 And you know, partly it's because John Cena is sort 1981 01:44:18.800 --> 01:44:23.119 of I feel like Sena and maybe to a lesser extent, 1982 01:44:23.199 --> 01:44:27.159 Dave Batista have like looked at the Duyne Johnson arc 1983 01:44:28.560 --> 01:44:33.760 and and been like, Okay, what can we learn from this? Yeah? 1984 01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:37.199 Well again, I mean at the beginning, Dwayne Johnson was 1985 01:44:37.239 --> 01:44:40.840 willing to play silly characters, or rather of his characters, 1986 01:44:41.000 --> 01:44:43.920 and then it feels like, for some reason later he 1987 01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:45.840 got it in his head that he always had to 1988 01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:46.520 win every. 1989 01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:49.600 Fight, and I think he just got invested in his brand, 1990 01:44:49.720 --> 01:44:53.239 whatever that is, you know. Yeah, yeah, the perception, you know, 1991 01:44:54.359 --> 01:44:57.239 and you know the problem there is eventually it gets 1992 01:44:57.239 --> 01:45:01.439 played out. Yeah, yeah, if people see you don't have 1993 01:45:01.479 --> 01:45:06.199 any other notes to play then then they move on right, 1994 01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:11.399 like like Schwarzenegger handing it off. But you know this 1995 01:45:11.479 --> 01:45:15.960 movie came out what was it September October three at 1996 01:45:16.000 --> 01:45:21.119 the Rundown? I mean Schwarzenegger did Terminator three, that that 1997 01:45:21.560 --> 01:45:25.560 earlier that year, right, and really that T three is 1998 01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:29.439 arguably like the final Schwarzenegger movie of the of his 1999 01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:34.520 peak era. Sure, so it's the timing is entirely apropos 2000 01:45:35.800 --> 01:45:38.399 but yeah, yeah, right, so it's like he does his 2001 01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:40.560 final action movie, then becomes governor. He became governor and 2002 01:45:40.600 --> 01:45:43.640 O three, I'm pretty sure hands hands the ball to 2003 01:45:43.920 --> 01:45:46.720 Duwayn Johnson. It took Dwyne Johnson a couple of years 2004 01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:50.439 to figure out what his movie star a persona was, 2005 01:45:50.880 --> 01:45:54.119 but he got locked into that. Yeah, and then he 2006 01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:58.000 got stuck. Yeah, then got stuck. But yeah, what do 2007 01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:04.920 you do the thing this last year? Oh? The machine? Right? 2008 01:46:05.000 --> 01:46:08.600 The what is the smashing machine? Smashing machine? Yeah, which 2009 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:10.680 did too? We are two old men? Can I just 2010 01:46:10.680 --> 01:46:11.319 say that? Dude? 2011 01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:12.960 I was like, I can't believe I don't even remember 2012 01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:17.399 the title. I'm getting bad with titles. But which is 2013 01:46:17.399 --> 01:46:20.000 funny because that used to be our strength. I know, 2014 01:46:22.199 --> 01:46:25.920 there's just too much stuff up there anyway. But he 2015 01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:28.359 was very very good in that. I mean that movie 2016 01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:31.319 didn't land or hit. I think the way that they 2017 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:33.039 had hoped for him, you know, thought it'd be like 2018 01:46:33.039 --> 01:46:34.479 an Awards contender kind of thing. 2019 01:46:34.920 --> 01:46:36.640 He is really good in it. 2020 01:46:36.640 --> 01:46:40.279 He's playing a character, he's doing something different, and so 2021 01:46:41.000 --> 01:46:42.720 it was nice to see him stretching again. 2022 01:46:43.680 --> 01:46:46.199 Well and just as much as the film. His performance 2023 01:46:46.239 --> 01:46:49.159 while promoting the movie with his with his glass on 2024 01:46:49.199 --> 01:46:51.760 his nose, his fingers steepled. 2025 01:46:52.720 --> 01:46:56.439 Yes, I know. I for some reason that has just 2026 01:46:56.479 --> 01:47:01.359 become like a thing in our minds. And I saw him. 2027 01:47:01.439 --> 01:47:04.239 I think it was like Emily Blunt's Walk of Fame ceremony, 2028 01:47:04.279 --> 01:47:05.720 and he had like the glasses on. It's like, oh, 2029 01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:11.039 it's glasses, rock classes rock. See this stupid idiot he 2030 01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:13.640 sticks his hand in the thing. Dude, don't stick your 2031 01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:14.359 hand in the thing. 2032 01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:17.279 Yeah. Never, never, Like it's like he's never seen a 2033 01:47:17.279 --> 01:47:18.119 horror movie. You know. 2034 01:47:18.119 --> 01:47:19.880 Where I learned that, The Ewalk Adventure. 2035 01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:21.560 Exactly there you go. 2036 01:47:21.720 --> 01:47:23.520 The boy sticks the hand in the hole in the tree, 2037 01:47:23.720 --> 01:47:26.079 and I never forgot it. 2038 01:47:26.600 --> 01:47:27.920 That's what we learned from Mace. 2039 01:47:28.600 --> 01:47:30.359 Yeah, holy crab. 2040 01:47:30.479 --> 01:47:31.680 Nice Mace and Sindele. 2041 01:47:32.239 --> 01:47:36.359 Yes, wow, okay, okay, you know what, whatever titles you 2042 01:47:36.840 --> 01:47:39.600 have forgotten, you're forgiven for remembering that. 2043 01:47:40.039 --> 01:47:41.960 I think I'm realizing there's like a cut off date. 2044 01:47:43.680 --> 01:47:46.560 Oh yeah, yeah yeah, anything passed like ten years ago 2045 01:47:46.680 --> 01:47:54.359 is gonna be a push. That's amazing. So John Hannah, 2046 01:47:54.399 --> 01:47:56.399 I don't know if you remember this, In the very 2047 01:47:56.479 --> 01:48:00.199 first episode of the Last of Us television show, he's 2048 01:48:00.279 --> 01:48:04.159 the he's the like it starts with like a a 2049 01:48:04.199 --> 01:48:07.239 TV broadcast from like the seventies, and he's the professor. 2050 01:48:07.680 --> 01:48:10.800 He's like, oh, yeah, you know, the the fun guy 2051 01:48:10.960 --> 01:48:13.399 can metamorphos or whatever. I don't know what he says, 2052 01:48:13.439 --> 01:48:15.159 but like that it's him. I was like, hey, it's 2053 01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:16.119 it's Jonathan. 2054 01:48:16.439 --> 01:48:18.800 I remember that moment, but I forgot that it was him. 2055 01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:22.760 Yeah. Wow. He's also in Sliding Doors. That's I think 2056 01:48:22.920 --> 01:48:24.239 what most American audiences not. 2057 01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:27.640 Yeah, that's a movie where it's become you know, like 2058 01:48:27.880 --> 01:48:30.359 it's like people know the concept more than the movie. Yeah, 2059 01:48:30.560 --> 01:48:32.319 and that phrase, I mean, is that where it comes 2060 01:48:32.359 --> 01:48:35.560 from literally that film when people say that sliding doors, Yeah, yeah, 2061 01:48:35.560 --> 01:48:36.199 that's amazing. 2062 01:48:36.880 --> 01:48:41.960 Yeah, it's sort of like h groundhog Day. 2063 01:48:42.399 --> 01:48:45.439 Yeah, exactly right, exactly. 2064 01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:49.159 How like the movie changed what that phrase means. M 2065 01:48:49.359 --> 01:48:52.319 m m m right. If you say it feels like 2066 01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:53.960 groundhog Day, you're not like, oh, it feels like winter 2067 01:48:54.079 --> 01:48:56.920 and we don't know if we're gonna have six more weeks. Yeah, 2068 01:48:57.199 --> 01:48:59.119 it's no, it feels like we're just living the same 2069 01:48:59.199 --> 01:49:01.199 day a getting. That's an nice thing right here. I 2070 01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:01.680 love this. 2071 01:49:02.159 --> 01:49:06.000 That's great, that's great, very stylish. 2072 01:49:05.560 --> 01:49:06.720 The flicker. 2073 01:49:06.840 --> 01:49:09.319 I realized, like we're seeing all this stuff on it 2074 01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:10.600 on the screen here, but. 2075 01:49:11.439 --> 01:49:13.880 Oh, you gotta subscribe on Patreon watch and. 2076 01:49:15.079 --> 01:49:18.800 Yeah, but basically Fraser's entering like a big I don't know, 2077 01:49:18.920 --> 01:49:21.680 throne room or something, and like it's a close up 2078 01:49:21.680 --> 01:49:25.720 on his face and the flames, you know, they're flickering 2079 01:49:25.760 --> 01:49:27.760 on him, and when it goes dark you can't see anything, 2080 01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:31.119 so his face is just sort of like light on 2081 01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:33.359 his flate. I'm not describing it as well. 2082 01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:36.920 It was really cool. You should watch it. It looked neat. Yeah, 2083 01:49:37.079 --> 01:49:37.479 there you go. 2084 01:49:37.920 --> 01:49:39.279 I can tell him like slowing down. 2085 01:49:39.920 --> 01:49:43.720 So well, two things. Number one, you have this this 2086 01:49:43.800 --> 01:49:48.760 speed ramping during this fight, Yeah, which looks cool, no doubt. Yeah, 2087 01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:51.720 But also it feels like weirdly out of step with 2088 01:49:51.560 --> 01:49:54.560 the with the style of the movie. Am I wrong? 2089 01:49:55.279 --> 01:49:55.479 Is that? 2090 01:49:55.560 --> 01:49:58.479 Yeah, there's like a weird stutter sort of thing moment. 2091 01:49:58.560 --> 01:49:58.760 Yeah. 2092 01:49:58.760 --> 01:50:01.319 I didn't understand because you would think if that was happening, 2093 01:50:01.359 --> 01:50:05.960 we're supposed to understand something is happening in that moment, right, 2094 01:50:07.199 --> 01:50:08.039 But to your point. 2095 01:50:07.880 --> 01:50:10.880 They don't do it anywhere else. It's just matrix inspired. 2096 01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:14.479 Yeah, that's a good I didn't even I clocked it, 2097 01:50:14.520 --> 01:50:16.079 but I didn't understand why it was there. 2098 01:50:16.199 --> 01:50:20.560 Yeah, it's the new Yeah, new technique was the. 2099 01:50:20.560 --> 01:50:25.000 Style at the time exactly. But there's a great I 2100 01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:27.119 imagine he's on wires, a great shot in slow o 2101 01:50:27.199 --> 01:50:30.680 where he's like spinning in the air. Yeah, and you 2102 01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:32.319 could see it's his face, and I was like, wow, 2103 01:50:36.199 --> 01:50:37.000 like this kind of stuff. 2104 01:50:37.039 --> 01:50:39.199 Is that what you're saying? No, well, they're even more. 2105 01:50:39.279 --> 01:50:41.079 I mean you see the speed ramping where it slows 2106 01:50:41.119 --> 01:50:44.800 down and then speeds up. Mmm. Yeah, I remember seeing it, 2107 01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:46.640 and and you know, I mentioned I went and saw 2108 01:50:46.680 --> 01:50:49.560 this with my friend Javier at the at the videography studio, 2109 01:50:49.560 --> 01:50:51.600 and he's like he used to edit like the the 2110 01:50:51.680 --> 01:50:53.279 highlight tapes. He's like I'm going to try to do 2111 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:56.359 that that speed up, slow down stuff m hmm, into 2112 01:50:56.439 --> 01:51:00.680 like wedding videos. I need you did a good job 2113 01:51:00.680 --> 01:51:02.199 with it. He figure that. So this is back when 2114 01:51:02.279 --> 01:51:05.199 you would like be key framing things and it's a 2115 01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:08.760 whole different thing, you know. Yeah, that's funny. See these 2116 01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:10.279 Annubis soldiers look kind of goofy. 2117 01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:13.000 I don't know, it's funny some shots I feel like 2118 01:51:13.039 --> 01:51:17.600 they look better than others, like they're actually, yeah, this 2119 01:51:17.600 --> 01:51:18.399 looks a little goofy. 2120 01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:19.399 Like when it was the. 2121 01:51:19.359 --> 01:51:21.720 Wide shots, I was actually thinking, oh, wow, this is 2122 01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:23.800 that's kind of impressive. But I guess when you get 2123 01:51:23.800 --> 01:51:27.000 close to them and then when they start fighting them and. 2124 01:51:27.439 --> 01:51:31.600 Yeah, I think that when it comes to use of CGI, right, 2125 01:51:31.680 --> 01:51:36.399 it's like too often it's oh, CGI allows us to 2126 01:51:36.439 --> 01:51:41.319 create something that couldn't exist, And I think that's the 2127 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:47.000 mistake because if it couldn't exist, we sort of we 2128 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:50.600 recognize that and yeah, at a distance, you know what 2129 01:51:50.680 --> 01:51:54.600 I mean. Yeah, so it should be done to allow 2130 01:51:54.680 --> 01:51:57.399 you more more flexibility, but it should still be something 2131 01:51:57.439 --> 01:52:03.000 that could conceivably believably be here. Yeah, no, I agree, 2132 01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:05.920 you know, it's it's sort of like an interstellar you 2133 01:52:06.039 --> 01:52:10.880 had tars and and you know, the robots and Christopher 2134 01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:13.439 like that could very easily have been CG. But Nolan 2135 01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:15.800 was like, no, let's let's figure out a way to 2136 01:52:15.800 --> 01:52:18.680 do it practically. Mm hmm. And there's just like one 2137 01:52:18.840 --> 01:52:21.439 level of disbelief that we're able to get right past. 2138 01:52:21.800 --> 01:52:24.800 Yeah, and for all we know, there could be a 2139 01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:27.399 number of shots where maybe it is exactly CG. 2140 01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:28.520 But because he's. 2141 01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:33.399 Established so many that we've seen that we know really happened, 2142 01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:36.760 and McConaughey really touched it, you know, right, then we 2143 01:52:36.800 --> 01:52:38.359 don't pay attention to that any longer. 2144 01:52:38.680 --> 01:52:41.760 That's the thing, right, So I think what I see here, 2145 01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:46.800 Like these things, these these Anubis soldiers look very silly 2146 01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:51.920 when contrasted with our armies of of Medgai. Yeah, it 2147 01:52:51.960 --> 01:52:55.760 looks kind of goofy, you know, like the way they 2148 01:52:55.840 --> 01:52:57.640 just turn into a big thing of ash and then 2149 01:52:57.640 --> 01:53:00.760 that ash disappears. I'm like, but that's not doesn't happen 2150 01:53:00.760 --> 01:53:05.479 that way? Yeah, look at the speed ramping here. I 2151 01:53:05.479 --> 01:53:08.479 don't even miss tell that much. I just remember a weird, 2152 01:53:08.560 --> 01:53:12.720 stuttering looking shot. We'll see it in a second, I think, 2153 01:53:14.119 --> 01:53:14.479 come on. 2154 01:53:15.039 --> 01:53:17.279 I do like that moment when a hero and a 2155 01:53:17.319 --> 01:53:20.159 villain are fighting and then like a bigger threat appears 2156 01:53:20.199 --> 01:53:22.880 to both of them and they have this moment where 2157 01:53:22.880 --> 01:53:25.600 it's like, well, they have to put on their conflict. 2158 01:53:26.079 --> 01:53:30.720 That's right, that doesn't look terrible. That's sand explosion stuff. 2159 01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:33.880 No, but I'm thinking of the shot near the end 2160 01:53:33.960 --> 01:53:35.680 where the whole horde just kind of disc. 2161 01:53:35.880 --> 01:53:38.840 That shot is I remember that shot specifically because it 2162 01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:42.640 doesn't look like that sand, that black sand element is 2163 01:53:42.760 --> 01:53:44.079 actually in the environment. 2164 01:53:44.119 --> 01:53:47.079 It looks like it's on top of the frame exactly. Yeah, 2165 01:53:47.119 --> 01:53:49.399 it just they weren't there yet, so and maybe it 2166 01:53:49.439 --> 01:53:52.000 was just lack of time. I don't know. Yeah. 2167 01:53:53.000 --> 01:53:58.279 Ah, she gets to use her her skill set that 2168 01:53:58.439 --> 01:53:59.640 somehow she's been imbued with. 2169 01:54:01.079 --> 01:54:03.039 Yeah, hurt effertiery powers. 2170 01:54:03.199 --> 01:54:07.359 Yeah, see that, it's always like kind of it's always 2171 01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:07.960 a bigger fish. 2172 01:54:08.039 --> 01:54:14.000 Yeah, maybe we need to see now now again. Obviously 2173 01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:20.439 these effects are famously awful, But but you wonder what 2174 01:54:20.439 --> 01:54:24.760 what would have prevented them from just getting Dwayne Johnson's 2175 01:54:25.119 --> 01:54:29.199 top half and then compositing that into an effect like 2176 01:54:29.239 --> 01:54:31.840 why would you think that you were able to pull 2177 01:54:31.880 --> 01:54:32.319 this off? 2178 01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:35.560 See this this wide shot? Then maybe you do the 2179 01:54:35.560 --> 01:54:38.520 CGI guy. But then yeah, you get these close ups 2180 01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:40.199 of him or something, you try to like mix. I 2181 01:54:40.199 --> 01:54:43.239 mean that's why he famously Jurassic Park holds up so 2182 01:54:43.279 --> 01:54:47.399 well because it's a combination, right, because he's got. 2183 01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:50.399 The he's got the dead eyes. Yes, the eyes are 2184 01:54:50.439 --> 01:54:51.760 just they're like a doll's eyes. 2185 01:54:51.880 --> 01:54:55.000 See here, use use the rock here in this shot, right, 2186 01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:58.159 and and you can add your CG extensions and things. 2187 01:54:58.920 --> 01:55:01.680 But then when you do the wide and he's doing flips, 2188 01:55:01.680 --> 01:55:02.520 are crawling up a wall. 2189 01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:05.640 I'm thinking of technology at the time, and I'm like 2190 01:55:05.720 --> 01:55:10.720 that would have been perfectly fine, you know, a cromulent 2191 01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:15.279 one might say, So it's weird, like were they just 2192 01:55:15.279 --> 01:55:17.239 just like getting cocky like oh we got this. 2193 01:55:17.680 --> 01:55:19.319 I don't know, or maybe they didn't have access to 2194 01:55:19.359 --> 01:55:19.680 the rock. 2195 01:55:21.359 --> 01:55:24.760 That's weird too, because it's like, well, universal, you don't 2196 01:55:24.760 --> 01:55:29.159 sign him to a contract that allows for you know, reshoots. 2197 01:55:29.680 --> 01:55:32.680 Yeah, or maybe that's the thing they're like, oh no, no, 2198 01:55:32.720 --> 01:55:33.159 we got this. 2199 01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:36.920 Yeah, three days in and out, you're good. Yeah. Yeah, 2200 01:55:37.000 --> 01:55:42.000 Now you have not seen Scorpion King. No, no, okay, 2201 01:55:42.159 --> 01:55:45.239 you yeah, I saw it. I saw it Opening Night 2202 01:55:45.279 --> 01:55:50.039 actually with Sean at remember in Chicago that it was 2203 01:55:50.079 --> 01:55:52.279 that theater. It's like four Rivers or something like that. 2204 01:55:53.039 --> 01:55:53.680 I remember the name. 2205 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:56.319 I don't know if it's it's near where a zero 2206 01:55:56.399 --> 01:55:57.199 Gravity used to be. 2207 01:55:58.000 --> 01:56:00.119 You remember zero Gravity. 2208 01:55:59.840 --> 01:56:02.279 Are Chicago Land listeners are nodding their heads while everyone 2209 01:56:02.279 --> 01:56:04.199 else is like the ho these guys talking about anyway, 2210 01:56:04.239 --> 01:56:05.720 it's like kind of near there. So we went and 2211 01:56:05.760 --> 01:56:09.159 saw it there. Yeah, And so twenty four years ago 2212 01:56:09.199 --> 01:56:10.560 this last time I saw the Scorpion King. 2213 01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:12.960 Okay, okay, is any good? I mean even on like 2214 01:56:13.039 --> 01:56:14.319 sort of like a B movie level. 2215 01:56:15.159 --> 01:56:20.520 Uh yeah, you know, yeah, it's it's like, uh, it's 2216 01:56:20.640 --> 01:56:28.119 paste and produced like a Hercules Legendary Journeys episode. I gotcha, gotcha. 2217 01:56:28.159 --> 01:56:31.880 But Dwayne Johnson is more charming than Kevin Sorbo. M 2218 01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:34.960 sure this where that guy's like helped me and mo 2219 01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:38.520 Tip is such a rat bastard.

I kind of liked that, to be honest. 2224 01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:51.319 Oh that's kind of funny. I was gonna say, it 2225 01:56:51.359 --> 01:56:53.199 seems like you'd be a little more sinister or something. 2226 01:56:53.600 --> 01:56:56.800 No, I like, he's like, okay, why yeah? 2227 01:56:57.479 --> 01:56:59.479 Or is there even that?

Now this here, this little comic strip 2248 01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:42.520 that Rick O'Connell discovers with the I'm like, I wanted 2249 01:57:42.520 --> 01:57:48.039 to keep. I wanted like four more panels, yes, because 2250 01:57:48.079 --> 01:57:49.920 it's like you then they opened the thing and it 2251 01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:51.800 goes like this, and then you throw the thing and 2252 01:57:51.840 --> 01:57:53.720 then it goes you know, and then it kills the scorping, 2253 01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:55.319 and I'm like, we need one more where the Scorpion 2254 01:57:55.399 --> 01:57:56.960 King is on the ground and there's like ex's for 2255 01:57:57.000 --> 01:58:00.239 his eyes and like the Medgi guys like jumping up 2256 01:58:00.239 --> 01:58:05.399 and down in triumph, right right, you know, we could 2257 01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:07.479 keep going. We can get like several more frames of it. 2258 01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:09.600 That would be hilarious. 2259 01:58:09.760 --> 01:58:12.199 And I'm like them on the plane with his family 2260 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:15.399 flying home, you know, over. 2261 01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:18.279 The gravesite of the Scorpion King with with the scepter. 2262 01:58:18.840 --> 01:58:21.439 I mean, because I'm like, Rick O'Connell's not an idiot, Like, 2263 01:58:21.479 --> 01:58:23.239 I think we could have gotten him there with that 2264 01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:25.800 with like half the frames, you know, totally. 2265 01:58:27.239 --> 01:58:29.279 I think that was I read somewhere Even in the 2266 01:58:29.279 --> 01:58:33.800 director's commentary, Stephen Summers said that the stone carving directions 2267 01:58:33.800 --> 01:58:36.560 of how to kill the Scorpion King with the sceptor 2268 01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:37.359 was ridiculous. 2269 01:58:38.119 --> 01:58:40.399 It feels like a studio note that went too far. 2270 01:58:40.920 --> 01:58:46.079 Although there's a moment where Eve says something like, yeah, 2271 01:58:46.119 --> 01:58:47.439 you got to put the spirit through the guy and 2272 01:58:47.479 --> 01:58:49.800 it'll stop the army, and that you like, she explains everything, 2273 01:58:49.880 --> 01:58:52.319 and honestly I was like, yeah, no, thank you. I 2274 01:58:52.319 --> 01:58:53.760 think I knew that got it. 2275 01:58:53.880 --> 01:58:58.439 We figured it out, Yeah, well she doesn't know. She 2276 01:58:58.520 --> 01:59:00.600 just woke up from being dead, so maybe she doesn't 2277 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:02.680 know what. She doesn't know what Rick is caught up on. 2278 01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:06.199 No, I'm saying I'll put myself on blast here. I 2279 01:59:06.199 --> 01:59:07.920 was like, yeah, thank you for the reminder. I don't 2280 01:59:07.960 --> 01:59:09.720 I don't remember what's at stake care Like, I just. 2281 01:59:10.840 --> 01:59:13.880 We really do need this. This is anticipating the Netflix 2282 01:59:13.920 --> 01:59:15.800 era of people. Yes, exactly. 2283 01:59:16.039 --> 01:59:18.640 I mean that's the thing. Sometimes you don't need it 2284 01:59:18.680 --> 01:59:20.479 and it's insulting, and sometimes. 2285 01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:21.800 It's okay to have a little bit of a recap. 2286 01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:24.439 I think that's truly well, it's it's like the example 2287 01:59:24.439 --> 01:59:27.880 you always use of in the Dark Knight Rises, you know, oh, 2288 01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:30.720 the program with the thing that erases your identity, that thing. 2289 01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:33.800 Yeah, right right, it's my favorite example of it. 2290 01:59:34.159 --> 01:59:35.079 Yeah no, no, we got it. 2291 01:59:35.159 --> 01:59:40.399 Yeah ah oh good thing they had that pointed away 2292 01:59:40.439 --> 01:59:40.920 from them. 2293 01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:45.000 It reminds me of in that vein. You know, Mulaney 2294 01:59:45.079 --> 01:59:48.159 has that thing about about watching a special Victims Unit 2295 01:59:48.239 --> 01:59:52.239 where Ice cubes character like they some character is like 2296 01:59:52.239 --> 01:59:55.600 a pedophile and he's like, so you're telling me that 2297 01:59:55.720 --> 01:59:58.399 this guy looks at pictures of kids and gets off 2298 01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:01.159 right right right. Melandy's like, yeah, no, that's yeah, it's 2299 02:00:01.159 --> 02:00:09.600 pedophlex what it is? Yeah, we got it. See this 2300 02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:14.000 right here the speed ramping, yeah yeah, yeah right, it 2301 02:00:14.079 --> 02:00:16.680 slows down and then we get like hyper speeded up, 2302 02:00:18.079 --> 02:00:19.640 and but they do that throughout the fight. 2303 02:00:20.520 --> 02:00:24.520 When I associate that stuff with like Zack Snyder, oh yeah, 2304 02:00:24.680 --> 02:00:26.520 I mean I know, I'm sure it happened before then, 2305 02:00:26.560 --> 02:00:27.199 but like when. 2306 02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:28.960 Was three X Snyder took it into overdrive. 2307 02:00:29.319 --> 02:00:32.800 Yeah, I would say for that effect. 2308 02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:35.640 Or whatever, he kind of perfected it really Snyder. Yeah, 2309 02:00:35.720 --> 02:00:37.760 oh yeah, it's total. This is sparta. 2310 02:00:38.359 --> 02:00:38.800 Yeah. 2311 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:41.239 Now here's my question. Those like dudes that are like 2312 02:00:41.319 --> 02:00:44.760 in the ground there, those are all yeah right, like 2313 02:00:44.800 --> 02:00:46.600 they're like I don't know what, what. 2314 02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:48.600 Are they souls in hell or something? 2315 02:00:49.039 --> 02:00:51.199 So I'm just like, what are they doing when the 2316 02:00:51.239 --> 02:00:53.560 scorpion Kings NodD are like right now, they're like all 2317 02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:56.479 riled up? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. But otherwise is 2318 02:00:56.479 --> 02:00:58.920 it just like a really crowded night at the club. 2319 02:00:59.640 --> 02:01:04.319 Right right, but you can never get the bartender's attention exactly. Hell, 2320 02:01:06.159 --> 02:01:08.239 but see this, like that effect looks very much like 2321 02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:10.279 just kind of slept on top. 2322 02:01:10.560 --> 02:01:14.800 Yeah, because it has no bearing on them, you know. Yeah, yeah, 2323 02:01:15.960 --> 02:01:18.560 my man are at bay he got this. 2324 02:01:24.720 --> 02:01:30.399 So this was two thousand and one. They were able 2325 02:01:30.399 --> 02:01:32.119 to do whatever they were able to do. But I 2326 02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:34.520 was thinking this moment reminded me so much of the 2327 02:01:34.560 --> 02:01:37.319 end of Crystal Skull. Oh yeah, you know, where like 2328 02:01:37.359 --> 02:01:40.720 the landscape is well, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself, 2329 02:01:40.720 --> 02:01:45.159 but like sort of swirling and you know, coming apart. 2330 02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:49.359 And for as much as I complain about that movie, 2331 02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:52.680 I mean that effect looks incredible. 2332 02:01:52.960 --> 02:01:55.800 Oh yeah, well that shot of like Indie in the 2333 02:01:55.800 --> 02:01:57.359 corner of the frame and as you see the whole 2334 02:01:57.439 --> 02:01:59.039 that's incredible. 2335 02:01:58.680 --> 02:02:00.439 And you really I mean you know it's not real 2336 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:04.479 because whatever your brain, but like it looks really really 2337 02:02:04.520 --> 02:02:08.119 good and him Yeah, just like it's like the camera 2338 02:02:08.159 --> 02:02:11.439 can barely keep Indian frame as it's trying to capture 2339 02:02:11.479 --> 02:02:14.000 the action, and that does such a great job of 2340 02:02:14.039 --> 02:02:15.800 making you feel the scope. 2341 02:02:16.560 --> 02:02:18.920 You know, Yeah, we don't really get that sense here. 2342 02:02:19.239 --> 02:02:21.439 Yeah, this feels like an early attempt at that kind 2343 02:02:21.439 --> 02:02:21.680 of thing. 2344 02:02:21.680 --> 02:02:26.199 There's just too much a cgi flimflam. Yeah, you know. Now, 2345 02:02:26.439 --> 02:02:29.079 now this piece here I really like where Rick tells 2346 02:02:29.119 --> 02:02:32.000 ev hey get out of here, and she's like, no, 2347 02:02:32.119 --> 02:02:34.840 I'm gonna get you. Meanwhile, m O Tip is like hey, 2348 02:02:34.880 --> 02:02:36.560 come help me, and she's like peace out. 2349 02:02:36.800 --> 02:02:38.399 I do love that where they just kind of look 2350 02:02:38.399 --> 02:02:41.800 at him, because I wonder sometimes you have this instinct 2351 02:02:41.840 --> 02:02:43.760 where it's like, well, even if you're the hero or 2352 02:02:43.880 --> 02:02:45.000 you know that's the villain. 2353 02:02:44.760 --> 02:02:46.000 You like kind of extend your hand. 2354 02:02:46.359 --> 02:02:48.439 Yeah, but I was like, no, all the things he's done, 2355 02:02:48.479 --> 02:02:50.800 like yeah, why would you let him back out? 2356 02:02:51.039 --> 02:02:56.119 I agree? This stuff looks great though, this all stuff 2357 02:02:56.159 --> 02:03:04.199 I like, yeah, yeah, see that's how much she loves that. 2358 02:03:04.319 --> 02:03:07.840 She loves Rick. She runs across a collapsing thing to 2359 02:03:07.880 --> 02:03:10.560 get him. Look at my man, tep. 2360 02:03:10.560 --> 02:03:13.079 Oh, this is kind of strangely. I felt bad for 2361 02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:16.640 him right that, the love of his life, he's like, 2362 02:03:16.840 --> 02:03:19.079 he's like watching, like we get these shots of him 2363 02:03:19.119 --> 02:03:22.119 observing this other loving couple helping each other. I know 2364 02:03:22.199 --> 02:03:24.319 that he turns and looks at his the love of 2365 02:03:24.359 --> 02:03:25.039 his life. 2366 02:03:24.880 --> 02:03:28.119 Is so he's got tears in his eyes. I know. 2367 02:03:28.159 --> 02:03:31.880 It's kind of said he just wanted companionship while he 2368 02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:37.319 condemned the earth to colonels servitude under his boot heel. 2369 02:03:37.279 --> 02:03:45.359 And murdered to be with her, and. 2370 02:03:42.359 --> 02:03:46.039 And weirdly, like when when an Oxuna Moon gets swallowed 2371 02:03:46.079 --> 02:03:50.520 up by the scorpions, there's a little party that's like yeah, good, yeah, 2372 02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:52.359 but not for all the other horrible shit just because 2373 02:03:52.359 --> 02:03:55.039 she abandoned Amo tep right, right, It's weird. 2374 02:03:55.880 --> 02:03:57.760 This did remind me, speaking of Crystal Skull, of that 2375 02:03:58.319 --> 02:04:01.760 oh yeah dance yep. I think this looks pretty good though, 2376 02:04:02.520 --> 02:04:05.359 for you know, relatively for the era. Yeah, and in 2377 02:04:05.479 --> 02:04:06.840 this film compared to I mean, we. 2378 02:04:06.840 --> 02:04:09.439 Forget that the Third Mummy movie came out the same 2379 02:04:09.479 --> 02:04:15.000 summer as Crystal Skull. Yeah, I remember. I remember that. 2380 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:17.479 I remember seeing the trailer for it in front of 2381 02:04:17.520 --> 02:04:27.560 Crystal Skull. Oh really yeah, okay, yeah, because I obviously 2382 02:04:27.600 --> 02:04:29.560 after that movie ended and we all had our you 2383 02:04:29.600 --> 02:04:35.560 know process, you know, yeah, our moment. Yeah, I remember 2384 02:04:35.640 --> 02:04:37.800 having that thought like does the Third Mummy movie look 2385 02:04:37.840 --> 02:04:41.359 better than the fourth Indiana Jones movie? And in fact 2386 02:04:41.399 --> 02:04:45.520 it didn't, so yeah, water found its level there too. 2387 02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:51.520 But I remember having that thought, yeah, see this this 2388 02:04:51.640 --> 02:04:53.319 all it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, 2389 02:04:53.439 --> 02:04:57.039 and it just feels like just too much. I think 2390 02:04:57.039 --> 02:04:58.960 the idea here is like, oh, it just goes back 2391 02:04:58.960 --> 02:05:03.159 from whence it came, since the oasis sprang up because 2392 02:05:03.199 --> 02:05:07.279 of the Scorpion Kings deal with Anubis. So of course 2393 02:05:07.279 --> 02:05:11.199 now that the Scorpion King is dead, but like, I 2394 02:05:11.199 --> 02:05:13.199 don't know if you followed, but you know Rick kills 2395 02:05:13.199 --> 02:05:16.359 the Scorpion King, and so because he kills the Scorpion King, 2396 02:05:16.640 --> 02:05:19.159 you know, the army is his to commands, and he says, 2397 02:05:19.199 --> 02:05:21.000 go back to Hell and take your friends with you. 2398 02:05:21.079 --> 02:05:25.720 And that's why the army all disappears. But there's just 2399 02:05:25.760 --> 02:05:28.239 so much going it's like too much. Yeah. 2400 02:05:28.319 --> 02:05:30.279 I do remember thinking I need to look this stuff 2401 02:05:30.319 --> 02:05:33.159 up because I was like confused, why Emotep when he 2402 02:05:33.239 --> 02:05:34.640 was going to spear the guy? I was like, wait, 2403 02:05:34.640 --> 02:05:36.720 so why is that bad? I assume that gives him 2404 02:05:36.720 --> 02:05:37.720 some power or something. 2405 02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:43.239 Whoever kills him commands his army. Yeah, which again this 2406 02:05:43.319 --> 02:05:45.840 goes to what I said before when we did our 2407 02:05:46.279 --> 02:05:48.840 commentary for the first one, and we have the prologue 2408 02:05:48.840 --> 02:05:50.720 showing what happens to m o Tep and you've got 2409 02:05:51.359 --> 02:05:53.600 you know, our death bay is narration, Like, oh, but 2410 02:05:53.640 --> 02:05:55.399 if he was ever brought back to life, then he 2411 02:05:55.399 --> 02:05:58.000 would have power over all the elements and he would 2412 02:05:58.239 --> 02:06:03.239 you know, the you know, the the invincibility and everything, 2413 02:06:03.359 --> 02:06:05.199 like just this litany of horrible things. 2414 02:06:05.279 --> 02:06:07.960 Right, he could do a mile in under four minutes. 2415 02:06:08.159 --> 02:06:10.880 I basically, And I'm like, why don't you guys just 2416 02:06:10.960 --> 02:06:13.920 kill him? Then? Like why maybe don't mum ify him alive? 2417 02:06:14.399 --> 02:06:16.600 I remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah right, and so kind 2418 02:06:16.600 --> 02:06:18.600 of the same thing with the Scorpion King, like like 2419 02:06:19.560 --> 02:06:23.119 the whole notion of like why does he come back exactly? 2420 02:06:23.199 --> 02:06:26.800 And what you know, and then the whole movie is 2421 02:06:26.880 --> 02:06:29.279 like leading up to, Oh, when the Scorpion comes back, 2422 02:06:29.319 --> 02:06:30.880 it is gonna be all kinds of hell to pay. 2423 02:06:31.039 --> 02:06:34.439 I don't know, he goes out pretty easy, yeah, Like 2424 02:06:35.119 --> 02:06:38.159 granted I wasn't getting tossed around by bym O tep 2425 02:06:38.159 --> 02:06:40.000 and the lead up, but it seems like he goes 2426 02:06:40.039 --> 02:06:48.279 down like a punk. That's me, Yeah, that's me. So again, 2427 02:06:48.319 --> 02:06:51.439 where did he How did he fill this thing up? Yeah? 2428 02:06:51.479 --> 02:06:53.439 It doesn't even look well, yeah filled it up? And 2429 02:06:53.479 --> 02:06:56.239 then even just how did he how many nails did 2430 02:06:56.279 --> 02:06:56.840 he have to put? 2431 02:06:56.880 --> 02:07:00.920 That looks fine? Yeah? Yeah, that's so funny. 2432 02:07:02.079 --> 02:07:03.760 By the way, have we talked about the fact that 2433 02:07:03.800 --> 02:07:06.000 there was an animated TV series based on. 2434 02:07:06.159 --> 02:07:08.800 Oh yeah, we we mentioned at least in the first commentary. 2435 02:07:08.800 --> 02:07:11.720 We mentioned it briefly, Okay, because I guess this, you know, 2436 02:07:12.640 --> 02:07:15.800 dirigible or whatever is something to use in it, and 2437 02:07:15.840 --> 02:07:19.920 so that led me down the path of the animated series. 2438 02:07:19.960 --> 02:07:23.079 And basically the characters don't look like the actors because 2439 02:07:23.119 --> 02:07:24.800 they didn't want to pay for their likenesses. 2440 02:07:25.119 --> 02:07:28.479 Yeah, rick O'Connell is blonde, Evelyn is a redhead. Yeah, 2441 02:07:28.960 --> 02:07:34.720 alex is American for some reason. M and it basically 2442 02:07:34.760 --> 02:07:38.680 does its own like it. It creates a new backstory 2443 02:07:38.720 --> 02:07:39.399 form o tep. 2444 02:07:40.479 --> 02:07:43.920 Yes, because no adultery exactly. 2445 02:07:44.000 --> 02:07:45.880 Yeah. So it's like, oh, he tried to steal these 2446 02:07:45.920 --> 02:07:49.960 scrolls and then you know or whatever, and he was mommified. 2447 02:07:50.479 --> 02:07:56.479 And John Schneider is the voice of Rick O'Connell. Oh yeah, 2448 02:07:56.560 --> 02:07:59.479 Gray Delisle who is Daphne, and the she's the current 2449 02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:05.840 voice of Afne. She's Evelyn. Ok yeah, and I don't 2450 02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:09.760 know voiced Jmo Tipmotep speaks English. I know that. And 2451 02:08:09.800 --> 02:08:11.760 it's just like, yeah, it lasted like two seasons actually, 2452 02:08:11.800 --> 02:08:13.119 which is more than I would have expected. 2453 02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:16.159 Yeah, saw Tom Kinney was in it, Yes. 2454 02:08:16.079 --> 02:08:19.840 That's right. Yeah, so here we go. Mummy returns. 2455 02:08:20.439 --> 02:08:23.439 Yeah, well, just last little bit of trivia had jotted down. 2456 02:08:23.520 --> 02:08:26.439 So when it came out on DVD and VHS. 2457 02:08:26.000 --> 02:08:27.880 Best selling DVD of all time. 2458 02:08:27.840 --> 02:08:30.760 Of all time, two million copies sold in its first week. 2459 02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:34.720 And and then like two weeks later, the Phantom Menace 2460 02:08:34.760 --> 02:08:38.039 came out on DVD. That's right, and that took care 2461 02:08:38.079 --> 02:08:38.359 of that. 2462 02:08:38.960 --> 02:08:41.760 But it sold two point two million copies in its 2463 02:08:41.760 --> 02:08:45.359 first week. So not by a ton I mean that 2464 02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:47.640 is like equal footing there. 2465 02:08:47.840 --> 02:08:51.119 That's incredible. Yeah, this this, it's it outsold the Matrix, 2466 02:08:51.159 --> 02:08:55.520 It outsold Gladiator, yeah, which is really nuts. I mean 2467 02:08:55.560 --> 02:08:57.840 that certainly it tells you two things. First of all, 2468 02:08:58.039 --> 02:09:02.640 how much primacy DVD had in people's lives. Oh man, yeah, right, 2469 02:09:02.720 --> 02:09:05.279 like people. I don't think people in twenty twenty six 2470 02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:06.880 can fully understand that. 2471 02:09:08.199 --> 02:09:12.720 Yeah, how different it was before that and after and after. Yeah, 2472 02:09:12.800 --> 02:09:13.479 it was a moment. 2473 02:09:13.960 --> 02:09:18.800 It was a moment where people everybody would would buy movies. 2474 02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:22.399 And not just like cinophiles, right exactly. 2475 02:09:24.439 --> 02:09:26.119 You know if you were at Walmart, oh, here's DVD, 2476 02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:28.760 let's get it, so you know, so you had the 2477 02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:31.319 primacy of that format. But also, I mean this movie 2478 02:09:31.520 --> 02:09:35.880 was kind of a phenomenon, you know, it was whatever 2479 02:09:36.159 --> 02:09:39.199 gamble they thought the first one might have been, this 2480 02:09:39.239 --> 02:09:45.159 one bore out, you know, the confidence they had, which 2481 02:09:45.199 --> 02:09:47.720 makes it even more baffling that they waited seven years 2482 02:09:47.760 --> 02:09:50.359 to do the next one. Mm. Yeah, yeah, that's a 2483 02:09:50.359 --> 02:09:52.439 good point, right, Like you think they would have struck. 2484 02:09:52.439 --> 02:09:54.079 I'm not saying you needed to crank out three more 2485 02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:56.800 of these in that time, but at least one, maybe 2486 02:09:56.800 --> 02:10:00.840 two more. Yeah, you know, I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm 2487 02:10:00.880 --> 02:10:02.760 sure Brandon Fraser would have liked that. But I also 2488 02:10:02.880 --> 02:10:05.960 suspect that part of the slowdown was because his career 2489 02:10:06.079 --> 02:10:08.840 hit a bit of a rough patch, you know, doing 2490 02:10:08.840 --> 02:10:10.600 stuff like Monkey Bone and whatever. 2491 02:10:10.960 --> 02:10:11.239 Yeah. 2492 02:10:11.319 --> 02:10:14.399 Oh, I haven't got it. I've never seen that movie. Yeah, 2493 02:10:14.439 --> 02:10:16.239 I mean I haven't seen it either, but I. 2494 02:10:16.279 --> 02:10:19.399 Kind of want to, right just to see what a 2495 02:10:19.600 --> 02:10:21.079 like a weird curiosity it is. 2496 02:10:21.399 --> 02:10:26.159 Yeah yeah, but uh also also weird. Uh No, no 2497 02:10:26.399 --> 02:10:30.560 mid credits scene as we're conditioned to expect. Yeah, that's funny, 2498 02:10:31.000 --> 02:10:34.840 after the title sequence and before the scroll. That's a 2499 02:10:34.880 --> 02:10:38.119 really good point. There's no like Jonathan dusting off his 2500 02:10:38.199 --> 02:10:44.199 jeans be like here it is, you know, like yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, 2501 02:10:44.199 --> 02:10:45.880 here we go some mommy returns. What do you think, Brian, 2502 02:10:47.239 --> 02:10:50.760 You know, I. 2503 02:10:50.520 --> 02:10:55.319 Just didn't get endeared to these at the right moment. Yeah, 2504 02:10:55.359 --> 02:10:58.880 so I almost feel more like an observer with these films. 2505 02:10:59.560 --> 02:11:01.720 I like the first one. I think the first one 2506 02:11:01.760 --> 02:11:03.279 is a lot of fun. Like we were saying, it's 2507 02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:05.640 a little more tactile. It feels a little bit more grounded, 2508 02:11:06.079 --> 02:11:09.279 as fantastical as it is, and this one feels a 2509 02:11:09.399 --> 02:11:12.920 bit like it drowns in its spectacle a bit. So 2510 02:11:13.159 --> 02:11:15.159 I think it's fun to watch as it for me 2511 02:11:15.640 --> 02:11:17.960 as an artifact from two thousand and one. It's fun 2512 02:11:18.000 --> 02:11:20.479 to see, you know, the actors and the characters and stuff. 2513 02:11:20.479 --> 02:11:23.680 But I just don't feel as much for it. Yeah, 2514 02:11:24.279 --> 02:11:26.560 as I do, I don't enjoy it as much as 2515 02:11:26.560 --> 02:11:27.039 the first one. 2516 02:11:27.159 --> 02:11:31.359 Yeah, No, I'm with you. I think of the Mummy 2517 02:11:32.119 --> 02:11:34.439 trilogy up up to this point as one and a 2518 02:11:34.479 --> 02:11:35.960 half good movies out of three. 2519 02:11:36.640 --> 02:11:38.600 That's yeah. I mean I haven't seen a third one, 2520 02:11:38.600 --> 02:11:39.800 but I bet I agree. 2521 02:11:40.039 --> 02:11:40.319 Yeah. 2522 02:11:40.399 --> 02:11:43.039 You know, it's like, I think there's enough in this 2523 02:11:43.199 --> 02:11:45.960 that I like to give it like a half score, 2524 02:11:46.279 --> 02:11:48.239 but I just think it's just too much of everything. 2525 02:11:48.279 --> 02:11:53.520 And I think too much of everything becomes numbing. Numbing exactly. 2526 02:11:53.600 --> 02:11:57.880 It's just overwhelming. And it's you know, I think going 2527 02:11:57.920 --> 02:12:02.680 smaller is better, but that wasn't the agenda, you know. 2528 02:12:02.760 --> 02:12:07.680 I think Steven Summers went into this being like just bigger, bigger, louder, 2529 02:12:07.800 --> 02:12:11.840 and well he certainly got that. Now I should say this, 2530 02:12:11.840 --> 02:12:13.920 this song that's playing over these credits by Live, it's 2531 02:12:13.920 --> 02:12:17.520 a pretty good song. Oh Forever may not be long enough. 2532 02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:21.319 I I think I turned it off at this point. 2533 02:12:21.359 --> 02:12:23.279 Now I'm kind of curious a lot. It's that's interesting. 2534 02:12:23.399 --> 02:12:26.720 Yeah, it's a nice song, but it is weird in this. 2535 02:12:26.640 --> 02:12:29.920 Movie, you know, Yeah, right right right. 2536 02:12:30.560 --> 02:12:32.399 But I will say again, I think it has a 2537 02:12:32.479 --> 02:12:35.760 terrific soundtrack. I listened to this album quite a bit. 2538 02:12:36.760 --> 02:12:39.319 I think it's Sevestry. I love sevest Yeah, it's great. 2539 02:12:39.359 --> 02:12:43.720 And and unlike with Jerry Goldsmith, Stephen Summers ended up 2540 02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:48.359 really catching on with with his relationship with Aln Sylvestry 2541 02:12:48.359 --> 02:12:51.840 because Silvestrie did he did Van Helsing and he did 2542 02:12:52.000 --> 02:12:55.199 G I Joe and and say with You about those 2543 02:12:55.239 --> 02:13:01.039 movies both have great scores, you know, So there we go.
