Unbreakable (2000)

Hey, it's Earl Paul Slim, and this is 70mm of podcasts for film lovers just like you. Every Monday, I chat about recently watched movies with my close friend and artist, Danny Haas. This is Ezra Miller for a full movie. This man is annoying as hell. And our close friend and movie insider, Pertalexas. Where is the Bruce Willis Ponceaux action figure? Every month, we have a new theme that guides our main discussion later in the show, and this time, it's comic book month, and my pick is M Night's Unbreakable from the year 2000. Use the chapters to skip right to that discussion if you want. But is this the greatest comic book movie ever made? Why don't people talk about this dang movie? Let's find out together. I just have to say off the bat, we did a supporter only vote on our Patreon this week. French the numbers, we said it was time, we'll let the supporters decide the final movie the month. And we did, we put it up to a vote, three movies, blade, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Scott Pilgrim versus the world. We have a winner. The numbers are clear. There's not one loser on that list though, if we can be frank. In fact, we're all winners, we all win this one, we all win, we're undefeated. You're welcome, village, we'll reveal that later in the show, I'm not going to do it right now. Yeah, you got to see, you got to sit this one out. But I do want to hear about, if there wasn't winner, when Danny went to go see the flash in theaters. Is this a midday flash viewing? This is on 11 a.m. Friday morning viewing. I stepped out for a little bit to see this. I almost did log it because I did want to talk about it yet. I don't know my feelings for this movie, because I love flashpoint in the comics. It's one of my favorite little bits of storylines that's been more recent in comics. So I was excited about this and I love every, I love this story. I think they did a great job with this story. I don't know what I was watching. If it was a movie made in 2023 or a video game cut screen made in 1998, what's strong words? Possibly some of the most horrendous CG I've seen in a long time. I mean, the face is worse than Wakanda forever. I didn't see. Wakanda forever. Please, Matt. There was a moment in the first 20 minutes where I felt my soul wanting to walk out of the movie theater. It was so ugly what I was watching. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. And then we've been bamboozled through DC, the DC movies where we're again like snippets of Ezra Miller's flash. This is Ezra Miller for a full movie. This man is annoying as hell. I could not, I could him talking for an entire two plus hours. No, thank you. I couldn't take his flash anymore. What about two of them? Exactly. Then you add a second flash Ezra and it was just like get it out of here. But there was so much about this story that I loved and I was shocked at so many places they went. So I'm middle ground for this film. I had a great time with this story but there was, there's a lot wrong with it. There's a lot wrong with it. People are telling themselves if they're lacking this film a lot. You know, I think like the week before I saw it, they still weren't even airing the original ending. They were like giving you a warning when you saw it saying like this is still unfinished because they wanted to prevent like spoilers getting out. Now somehow I wasn't spoiled and there are some great cameo bits or moments that I was, I got very excited for it. It was like some rad stuff, some really rad stuff. But I don't want to see another multiverse movie and for a very long time. I'm hurt. What are the chances? Two superhero multiverse movies out the same weekend and it's like multiverse is in both universes right now in movies. Right. Pretty nuts. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just kind of, I'm burnt out on that kind of storyline too. I mean, the only thing that can slide by at this point is beyond the spiderverse. That's the only thing that's getting a past. What about Ant-Man, Kwano Mania? If you thought I saw that. Dr. Strange and the madness of the multiverse. No. Get it out of here. Stop resetting. It's infecting everything. What? I haven't. I was overhearing a conversation this week with some friends of mine. Whoa. And one of our friends who will remain nameless was trying to pin this whole multiverse theme shenanigans on a movie that came out like 30 years ago. Who would do this? I, again, I'm not going to say names, but it's, it's infecting minds. Yeah. They can't escape the multiverse. They're going back to like alien, you know, they're going back to, uh, uh, uh, back to the future. Who would do this? Terminator. Completely unrelated to Proto's comment. Jun Pot has rebranded to escape hatch. They just covered a movie back to the future. And if you're interested in listening to Jason, who's previous guest in the show, Fiddler on the Roof, H, what was the movie he, we did? No. It was crossing. It's crossing. That was a lifetime ago. Maybe we need to have H come back on in the future. What do you think he'd choose? I mean, speaking of back to the future, there was way too much nude as Remiller in the Flash too. Really? Yeah. You are. I will say in the nerd theater that I saw, the flash in, all the jokes were pretty fine. I thought it was hilarious movie. All the little jokes like there's one scene where one of the flashes is wearing a flash suit made from an old Batman suit and it's not a spoiler and flash turns his head in the Batman suit. It's fun. His face moves, but the Batman mask is like still right on. It's so funny. Oh, my God. It was hilarious. Oh, another thing that frustrates me about the flash is James Gunn's praise of this movie and he's supposed to be leading us. Yeah. He said it was like he's leading us into the DC future about how great this film is. Name five movies James Gunn has failed that in superheroes. Name five. One, two, three. Has he done one? Another one by the desk. No one has ever done the name five. No one has ever completed the challenge and you just saw it right on the show. What a moment. I don't know. Oh, God. Where do we go from here? We have some new patrons to welcome. Q and Andrew joined this week at Access to the VHS Village Discord discounts on Daniels beautiful prints. And when's the next mission impossible watch along? That's Wednesdays. Wednesdays. Is it every Wednesdays? Wednesdays. I mean, mission impossible, dead reckoning part one, it's, it's days away palpable. I can feel an energy in the universe right now that this movie is so very close. I'm very excited for this Proto. We need to check in the AFI journey that you're on. You're watching like all the top 100 AFI, right? Is that what it is? Yes. Yes, I am. I'm trying to make my way through it. I think I'm under 40 movies remaining at this point. I was able to watch three more this week. Had some high hopes for some of my picks this week. The first one I watched was Bonnie and Clyde. Now we've all heard of Bonnie and Clyde. Yeah. American crux treasurer, outlaws, legendary murderers, legendary murderers. So this movie is from 1967 directed by Arthur Penn, stars Warren Beatty and Fay Dunnoway. I just watched, I just saw Fay Dunnoway in the network a few weeks ago. It's also as Gene Hackman. I was very disappointed in this movie. Oh, no. And I'm kind of surprised. I was like, this looks good. It's 3.9 on Letterbox. A lot of my friends given at least three and a half stars. A lot of four bangs in here. I mean, 3.9. That's not easy to have a 3.9. No, that's hard. I thought almost every aspect of this movie was bad. Oh, come. And you know how you guys said, the whole Warren Beatty thing. He fascinates me as an actor because his name seems like very well known. But when I think about him, I was like, well, like what movies is he in? And every time I look, I'm like, he doesn't really have a ton of movies. Why do I know? Why does this guy seem so well known? Of course, I know mostly from Dick Tracy. But seeing this, he is really bad in this, I thought. He gives the one of the strangest performances. And I have no reference if he, if this is supposed to be based on like what Clyde was like, but I don't know how anyone would know that anyway. But very disappointed in this movie. I did not think it was good at all. It was boring. Jean Hackman, the king, that's the thing. Fake down a line and Jean Hackman, they can act. I know that for a fact. I've seen it. I've seen them do it. And this movie, they, they, they weren't good in. So there was something off about this. And but I came away thinking that we need a really good Bonnie and Clyde story. I mean, we have Thelma and Louise. But maybe like really dig into this story and someone tell it in a gray way. And maybe there's a version out there that exists. That's really good. I don't know of. Art in chat. Strong words, quote, more like American fraud institute. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Art. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, while piggyback on this AFI journey, I was gone through some of my dad's old film magazines. And there was, he has this copy of some film critic at the time that made his own film rating scale. Oh. Um, it's, it's bonkers. And he makes his like top 50 movies of all time, et cetera, et cetera, and a place in the sun. I think was at the top of his list or the top of the 50s list, so I actually started watching it. I tried to watch it like two or three times. There's, uh, Goody probably just passed out. I can't, I can't finish this movie. I might DNF. Oh, my. Place in the sun. George Stevens, young people asking so much of life, taking so much of love and ambitious young men. Wins and heirs his heart, but has to cope with his former girlfriend's pregnancy Montgomery Clifton Elizabeth Taylor, but I don't know, maybe, maybe I just, I have to keep watching. Maybe it'll perk up. Oh, God. Is this on the A.F. I lose, too? It might save. Oh, God. This journey is starting to rear its ugly head. How did you sort the journey by what you can find or do you sort of by like best to worst? Um, so because there's so many old movies on it, I kind of, in my mind, at least, bled it between like movies pre-1940s and those after, so I mean, there's a lot there, it's almost like half the list is pre-1940s. And that's the thing about this list is that it's, it has so many older things. And that's the thing. I watched another movie from the list this week sunrise, a song of two humans from 1927. This is another silent picture, um, again, this movie, what's the rating on this? I don't know. 4.2. Oh, my God. Oh, God. On letterbox. I gave this two stars. I don't know what people, I don't know what is going on. Um, this beauty's rating on this five stars from Goody. Goody is like our local, you know, T, T.C.M. Oficionado. Yeah. He had five stars for a place in the sun as well. T.C.M. Oficionado. It's a bad week for him. Yeah, for some piece. I mean, Brandon, they got a, they got a skeleton crew at T.C.M. Right now. I am not DNFing this journey. Yeah. Josh makes an interesting, um, comment, AFI journey is reaching bond levels of misery. The infamous bond journey that Danny and I went on for what felt like four years. The difference is I just, I'm supporting, I'm, I'm supporting proto through his misery. No, see, no, this isn't misery. There's some good. I've watched a lot of good movies on this list. That's the thing. It's just, it's a mixture of both the good and the bad and I'll take the good with the bad. I know, I know you have to, mm-hmm, you have to learn from our mistakes. Every week we give out now a free year of patron letter box, we're up in the game. I'm not sure. Can you name another podcast that does this? I don't think it's possible. I can't. And you're, you're probably frantic right now. How do I get into this? How do I get access to potentially winning? You can tag your letter box review of the movie that we're covering that week. If you want to watch along with us, tag it, 70 mm pod. If you tag it, 70 mm, if you tag it, 70 mm space pod, tag it, 70 mm podcast, I'm not looking for those tags. So I need you to do some leg work here, folks. Someone watched Unbreakable and this is their first letter box review by the way. Oh my gosh. Four stars admittedly, I hadn't seen much of M night's work, but what I have seen hasn't impressed me all that much. That being said, I got a total whiplash without great. This was some insane shot composition and camera work in this. That's Kirby Price. Just want to pay for me. Kirby. Congrats. Right now. Welcome to letterboxed. Welcome home. Disclaimer, I'm letterboxed. Welcome to the party. Do I want to talk about anything before we get into Unbreakable? I sure hope so. What is that supposed to mean? What did I watch this week, let me pull it up and go through the Indiana Jones movies again. Oh, writing wrong. Going back. Going back. I made a scandalous, what I thought was a scandalous comment in the paper keg discord or a little private. Yeah. Discord. Can we just say that? I said, you know, I wouldn't actually, this might be sacrilegious, but I wouldn't mind a 4k of these movies with the grain removed. Yeah. How many people responded to you? Nobody responded. I didn't think anyone'd emoji that comment. They just ignored it. We had to ignore it. You didn't even want to engage with that comment. I mean, the movies are grainy. I love grain. Yeah. But I wouldn't mind a grainless version, you know, do a little cleanup. Is that possible? Yeah, of course it is. You seen that Beatles documentary? I'm the God. They use like eight millimeter footage. They blow it up to 4k. It's like the cleanest thing on the planet. People barfing how clean that thing is. Let's get these indie movies over to Peter Jackson. See what he can do. Oh, great. Peter. Help us. Peter. Help us, Peter. That's John Lennon back from the dead. I don't know. Peter Jackson to help with the indie. He just heard the TCM news and he's pissed. Yeah. Let's get into it. It's time. It's time. M Night. The Master. Hmm. Back on the pod. Our last M Night movie, what was it, Signs? What an app. My God. Walkin' Phoenix in that movie. Unbreakable is my pick for comic book month. Part of what's this movie about? David Dunne is a security guard whose family is on the brink of falling apart. When returning home from New York, his train derails, leaving him the only passenger left alive. He discovers that this wasn't random luck with something more. This event surfaces moments from his past that bring up questions, and the mysterious Elijah Price and his connection to David, unbreakable. I was waiting for like a snide comment about comic art galleries in there, sneaking in. Oh, yeah. Say it. Say it for the show. Unbreakable. The year 2000, I was a junior in high school. Jonesy loves beer. A year had to me. He was a senior. He was carpooling. He was taking me to school. I'm not sure if I ever said that in the show, but oh my gosh. Yeah, Jonesy and I were into the same high school. Reading comic books. Anything I get my hands on, my brother collected when he was younger, and then I started collecting. So I had, there's like a few years where we had the same Wolverine issues, because I needed to get my own. I like reading the long boxes. There's like duplicates of the Sylvestery run. So I was hard core into comic books around this time. Danny, what about you? In the year 2000. 2000, same as you, I would have been a junior. My comics would have been, I don't think I followed comics then like a, like a week-to-week basis. I kind of just would pick up whatever was on the stand at that point. A lot of X-Men, Spidey. So in this movie, it's coming out. I don't think I heard about this till later in life, actually. I don't remember people talking about it. I didn't see it until probably like four or five years later. I think probably because it wasn't marketed as a comic book movie, and the crowd of people that I would have been around wouldn't have pushed it after it came out as a, being a comic book movie. You are on the football team, you know? You know? Because your team even read. A comic book. Stay tuned. Proto, what about you? I struggle with remembering when I saw this. I don't think I saw it in theater. I think it's similar to me. Like, I don't think M Night was on my radar yet, but I, yeah, I can't remember when it came out. Yeah, I remember, you know, his movie before the sixth sense, I mean, it was like a cultural moment when six sense came out, and they had this non-white director who was showing, you know, like, I mean, he gets compared to Spielberg all the time, but like an extremely talented director with a capital D, like he was showing flash, like, holy, like, who is this guy? Yeah. And then unbreakable, right at the follow up with Bruce again, and it's a comic book movie. So we'll go around the room. Each host jots down three things that we want to bring up in our discussion to talk about good or bad, and then we'll close things out with our letterboxed rating at the end of our discussion. So I'll just realize I'm first since I picked it. You're first. Start us off. Cheers. I had the DVD of this. I had the DVD. And back then, I feel like DVDs were a lot like CDs. They put work. They put like the work into it. Like, remember we're getting CDs, and they had like a big, thick booklet. Oh, I love those. You know, and like when the DVD of this came out, I remember they're just being a lot of, it was almost like boutique blue, blue raise way back then. But like you, you know, you're buying a DVD, you're getting some goodies in it. I feel like there was a comic book inside. There was just a bunch of stuff. So the idea that this was a comic book movie in the year 2000, I think the same year that X-Men had come out. I mean, you imagine comparing the two of these movies. But it's like, at the time, the most, some could argue today, the most realistic comic book superhero movie ever. And it's coming from the guy who did the sixth sense. So at the time, it's like mind blowing like this guy, this is the coolest guy ever. He's making a comic book movie. He just did six cents like, oh man, this is the greatest structure of all time. So I was in that camp at that time because there's no good comic book superhero movies out in the year 2000, like it's not a thing, they don't exist. So when this came out, like I had like a spiritual awakening pretty much. So the idea that this is a comic book movie with skill and with style and with drama and with emotion and it's paired down and it's not played for laughs, you know, like they're not doing comic book panel transitions. Right. And that, like, blew me away and even still on this rewatch, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't get over it. Yeah. In terms of like the realism aspect, yeah, it's a good point. I'm not even really sure. And I think the thing, like if people haven't seen the movie, it's that it's, he, you know, the, I guess you could say he does kind of have like almost like a supernatural power in when he touches people. But other than that, it's like a medical condition that it's like explained with, which is, which is really cool because it feels like, well, this guy could actually exist. Well, both of them could actually exist. And yeah, I remember at the time, or the first time watching this, just like what an amazing idea and a cool idea of how this is built between like these two characters and both having these conditions on the opposite spectrum and loving that concept. And also just like this, this idea, like as an origin story for this guy, mm-hmm. One thing I thought was crazy was, or I found myself watching this is, I kind of forgot it was an M night movie going into it. There's such a weird, I don't know if it's weird, all of all the M night movies that I've seen. I feel like you can kind of place an M night movie, but this doesn't feel like his big stamp on a movie. There's just feels like there's a lot of thought into every framed scene and there's just something about it. So the fact that it's also a comic book movie is kind of wild. It's a very bold move at the time. And I feel like the Disney company or touch donor, whoever, them cutting them a check kind of to do this right for six cents is crazy. Yeah, I feel like most, maybe even most people listening to this podcast, their modern perception of M night is like old and knock at the cabin, which I think maybe brought him back a little bit because there was some definite visual snap to knock in the cabin, but like he had to run where everyone is just like, I rolls like after earth with Will Smith, last air bender. Yeah. Like, yeah, it's crazy to see his first, I mean, in my opinion, his first three movies. And then you get the village, which has a famous cinematographer, which I won't name. Thank you. And lady in the water, which I think lady in the water is when I went off the M night train. Because M night has a cameo in all his movies, but then he was like a supporting character in leading the water. And I kind of was like turned off by that at the time, like he was in it a lot. And I was like, eh, what are we doing here? Yeah, that was the first one that was kind of rough. And then I think the happening came after that. Oh, God. Everyone got off the wagon. Mark Wahlberg. One of the worst movie experiences of my life was seeing that. Oh my gosh. I thought it was the worst movie I've ever seen when I saw in theaters. Yeah. I might have thought the same worst movie I've ever seen month. God. We can't do Mr. Nobody again. Part of what's the first thing you want to talk about? So I, we had someone in, in discord, right up like this little essay, almost like an essay about this. It was a Mr. BL Yale in the discord. And I thought he kind of, I think I thought it was a pretty well thought out, a little essay here, kind of comparing this to what Marvel and DC do. So I just want to read what he said and kind of like pose a question. So he said, I fully believe that M. Knight's Unbreakable is a codex for what Marvel and DC should be doing. Unbreakable is one of the most grounded superhero movies ever put out. Sure the story is about a hero who can't break. David villain who destroys things around him to discover the yang to his evil yin. But how M. Knight composes the film is a broken family and a broken man fighting to put his life back together and the lives of his estranged wife and kid back together. When you look at the shots and the tone of the flick, it has its up moments, but it is dark somewhat somber flick. It's pacing is relatively slow and it thrives on the mysteries being discovered by David, which leads to darker action scenes yet unlike the superhero films of Marvel and DC I can only think of a handful of shots and unbreakable that use CG to tell the story. Contrast that with Marvel and DC, the vast majority of these movies live in CGI, created spaces and the ever building action sequences in which some cases work in a lot of cases look and feel like dog gas. He says to that end, I fully believe modern superhero hero flicks should look back to unbreakable to being to pair down the scaffolding in their world building and reliance on ever bigger set pieces to return to a story which is much more grounded and emotionally resonant. So I was wondering what you guys think of that and if you agree that would it be better if Marvel and DC tried to take this kind of approach with their storytelling? I feel like the comics did this with Superman's secret identity and there was a Batman one with the name of which escapes me where it was kind of like a realistic take. Like in Superman's secret identity, there's a kid that has the name that is born with the name Clark Kent and I think like Superman exists in media, but then he realizes that he has the same powers as Superman and he has to like grapple with this in a very real world way and it's an amazing storyline, but I don't know if I want every superhero movie to look like this and feel like this. You know, because then you're just doing the same thing, like I feel like you can only do something like this once or twice. I mean, I don't. I don't really, I feel like if people try to do these grounded, you know, more realistic superhero movies, then we're just going to get like knock off dark night stories or something that's already been done. I want my X-Men to look like the 90s animated X-Men flashy. I want, I just want tights and capes and I want things to be kind of outrageous a bit. Like comics are. This is like a diamond in the rough. I feel like it takes something of something special to write a movie like Unbreakable. What about you, Pearl, do you want something like this? Do you think they need to learn from it? No, I pretty much agree with what Danny just said. Yeah, I don't think like I was actually watching my son wanted to watch another Marvel movie and it was so we put on an Infinity War. So we're watching. Oh my God. And you know, I was thinking about this question while watching it and I think the thing is that like I don't, like those movies aren't for me, but a lot of people love them and the way that they're like pure popcorn action flicks. And I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with it. I think they could be done better. Like I think like having fun and like the lighthearted and stuff and making it feel like comic bookie and can't be is good. Like yeah, I don't think I want everything to feel grounded, you know. And kind of, I mean that's kind of what I feel like Zack Snyder was trying to do, even with like Man of Steel and then like the, you know Nolan's Batman, like I don't want all the movies to be like that. If anything, I think I would prefer if the movies weren't so bound to being a part of this greater, you know, machine, like how all the movies have to be like coalescing to like one final point, it would be great if it was more like when Matt Reeves was able to do or it seemed like they were just like go make your Batman movie. If you know directors and creators just had the freedom to kind of like take a superhero and just tell a one off story, just tell whatever you want and instead of trying to build towards something greater and make the movies, you know, individually worse for that reason. I mean, do you remember the movie theater watching, experiencing endgame for the first time? Yeah. Do you remember it? Cheering. No, I honestly, I do remember it screaming, sobbing on your left. Oh my God. Right? God in heaven. I think some, I think some comic characters lend itself to reality though. I mean, people like the Punisher or there's some people that just don't have the, the, you know, super speed, super strength, all the kind of things that would give us these fantastical films. There's some comic characters are going to lend itself to be a grounded story, which will make the most sense. Danny, what's your first point? I, this is probably the second time I've seen this movie. I've only seen it the one time my first viewing. And I haven't seen a lot, I, I think I've seen enough Bruce Wallace. This may be my favorite performance of his. I was kind of blown away by him in this film. They're so, they're so little he does, but there's like so emotion, so much emotion that keeps portrays post the, the, the, the train wreckage. When he comes to the realization, like he plays the guy that's stuck in this broken body while he's completely a broken individual on the inside. And it's, it's an impressive performance. There's, there's his connection to his son that slowly rebuilt throughout the movie with his wife. And I, I think Bruce is amazing in this. And I'm, I was looking at any sort of nominations at this film. I got, and there's a so little, and I, and I think he was a bit overlooked, maybe, in this film, because he's really good in it. I, I, I expect Bruce in his diehards and whatever other action flicks that he does. But for this, it felt, I don't know. There was a lot of emotion in his performance in this, in my opinion. And some of the best scenes are those, like, long, unbroken shots where, like, there's so many in this movie, yeah, of the long takes. Like, how about when his wife goes to his room and like, essentially says, I made a decision, I think we need to give it, let's give it another try. Yeah. And they don't even show Bruce at all. No, don't show space. And in fact, he doesn't even say anything to her, like she says her thing, leaves door closes. Like, that stuff is nuts, like, just giving the space for those moments. I thought was crazy. Yeah. And her conversation's so awkward too, but it's so, the writing is so, feels so real. Robin Wright. Yeah, she's crazy. Yeah. Em night wrote this. Yeah. You know, the much more modern day, Em night, for the writing. I don't even mind watching the, a little bit of making of everyone calls him night. Really? They just call him night. And I love it. Mm. Night night. Come on the show. Reloqo. Well, hang out. Oh, yeah. Get some wings. Some of us are local. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. I'll be on a trade. Please. The Bruce Love and talk about, you know, the, the character is him and his wife. They're in a bad state. You know, the very first scene that you, that you see Bruce on in the train, he's, he like takes his wedding ring off because this attractive woman sits next to him. And they start having a conversation and it gets awkward and she leaves. And then by that point, like at the first viewing, you're like, not really sure what's going on. And then you find out that they're really just in a bad place. There's one moment where they talk about like, when was the moment where you knew that like something was, we were off the, off the marriage track, off the relation track. He talks about how he had that bad dream. When was the first time that thought popped into your head, we might not make it? It's not the game. It's the first date. There are new rules. Don't know for sure. Think carefully. About the game? It's over. I won. Look, maybe it was in a specific moment. Maybe it was. I had a nightmare, one night. And I didn't wake you up so you could tell me that it was okay. I think that was the first time. He didn't want to tell her about the bad dream and talk about it. I thought that was insane. Now 20 years removed from seeing this as a junior in high school. Now is someone who's been married for 10 plus years. That like knocked me on my ass when he says that like, those are moments, those are very real moments. Those are the little things in a relationship that change over time where you don't want to share certain things. I thought that was crazy. Later in the movie, it comes to a circle where he tells her. He wakes up. When he comes home after that first night out of using his abilities, he's like, I had a bad dream. Oh my God. It was beautiful. Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. The relationship is so subtle. I was really impressed by the writing in this, especially having seen some of the recent M nights of seeing split and glass, which are like sequels to this. Coming back here, I was just like, dang, this is so well done. This relationship felt so real. Even that scene of them sitting in the restaurant, the conversation they're having where there's almost so little shared between them. It just shows you like the dynamic of their relationship. It's not really as much about what they're saying, but you know what they're trying to accomplish now that they're giving it a shot. It's really well done. Yeah. I mean, if I were a director that had like one or two great ideas, I feel like a lot of pressure. Now you got to do it again and again and again. But if you make something as good as six cents and maybe you had one or two other ideas, like you can't just retire, there's like an expectation you got to keep doing it. I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd be like one idea. That's all I got. Yeah. I can't write scenes with characters that I don't have any experience with. So I don't know how it does it. Well, I was thinking about that and I think he reminds me a lot of Tarantino in that way, and that like M. Knight is so particular in the kind of story he wants to tell and the way he wants to tell it, you know, he's like his, I think his, his visual style is like very much his own. You can kind of spot it in his movies and just the way he writes movies as well. But then he did the thing like Tarantino didn't do is like he went and did like these big IP movies. IP movies. Yeah. And that might have been because I don't know like the happening happened. So maybe he had a few stinkers in there and it's like, well, let me go work for a studio for a little while. But it also maybe seems like like you're saying like, you know, he has these great ideas, but rather than trying to keep pumping them out, maybe you should have like sat on it for a couple years. Yeah. I'd love to read like a biography that had, that talked about like his journey in making movies through the lows after the like the insane highs because it's like impossible. He's there's like no way you can keep it up that high like eventually you're going to come down. Yeah. One of my favorite bits of writing in this is the beginning story lines of both characters and how we get the birth of of glass and it's a very, it makes us so sympathetic of him right away. And then we see Bruce on the train taking his ring off and it's the opposite. We're like, this guy's scum. And at some point the movie crosses back for us. One becomes the other becomes the villain. The other guy becomes the hero and I, it just feels so simple, but also such a crazy brilliant way to tell their story. Looking at, I don't know why I had this still up, but there's the eminent filmography. He has a movie before six cents, this is a TV movie called Wide Awake, Dennis Leary and Rosie O'Donnell. What? The tale of a ten-year-old boy in a Catholic school who following the death of his beloved grandfather and barks on a quest to discover the meaning of life. I don't know how to react to this. I just need to put it aside. I need to close the tab. God, that tab needs to be closed. I never brought back out, please. Danny, was that your second one or do you have a second one? Or no, I'm sorry, it was Proto's. Thank you. Thank you. All right. My second, let's talk about the eminentisms in this. So yeah, he does a lot of those continuous shots. But I noticed the most was how many shots he did in doorways. Yeah. It felt like all the movie was shot in a doorway. Which I think is probably a little homage to comics, the show it looks like a panel of a person standing in a doorway. And there was a lot of shots that reminded me of that. Even the first one. It's a continuous shot of him on the train and the camera goes back and forth in between the seats. But you could almost imagine that laid out on a comic page of showing Bruce with the seat on one side and then the next frame having the girl with half blocked out. That looked very much like that. But just all the scenes between doorways, there was another one that I loved where he goes in the work after the accident and there's the old woman on the typewriter. And you see the side of her and she's just banging away on this keyboard and he's behind her in the middle of the doorway. I thought that was a great shot. But then even the, yeah, the continuous shots that he did, I love the one when he's coming out of the ER and the camera like swings all the way around. That shot's amazing. That first shot's even a door frame where he's on the gurney and the body is bleeding out in the foreground. Incredible scene. You don't have a scratch on you that line has burned into my brain. Shot between the chairs and the train, I kept thinking it was from the perspective of the little girl watching the conversation between the chairs. I kept it because it felt so like playful, like looking back and forth, watching what was happening. Oh, yeah. Interesting. Danny number two. Number two, James Newton Howard's score in this film. It's incredible, but when it gave me the chills was the fight with the guy in the orange jumpsuit who had taken over when he ascends from the pool scene and the music starts swelling and he goes to choke out the guy in the bedroom. It's so weird because it doesn't feel like that music fits, but it also feels like the hero theme of a superhero winning the fight and this is like his first kind of real fight with his power. And I thought it was a beautiful score. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was just something special. That seemed to knock my socks off when I was a kid. Yeah. The kids helping him out of the wall and that the music playing while he's choking him for like five, if it felt like five minutes get thrown in the wall. Yeah, great. I mean, so many shots felt like forever, but that one as it just kind of picks up from them and kind of goes to the ceiling of the room as they're fighting around. And with the score, it's just like, good lord. Yeah. They're a gas. It's funny to say that because when I first started watching it, this is the first time I've seen it in many years. It starts with an almost like 90s rock thing. I don't even know how to describe it, but it was like, what is this music I'm hearing? And you hear it again when he's in the train station. Oh, in the beginning of the film, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, as I beat to it. It's very strange. It's very 90s. Yeah, very 90s. So it doesn't match like the actual like orchestral stuff is really strong, right, but that stuff feels a little bit dated. It sounds like a it sounds like a looking park, Josey, mashup, the reanimator, oh, Gully, my number three. The ending of this, so like at the time to one of the things that because he had done this movie, six cents, so like people were like expecting some kind of twist, like is there going to be another twist, like that's also what he like kind of became known for. But the ending of this movie, I kind of had forgotten that you can say like the main ending is him after he does his like super heroing and he, his son who's been like, it's telling him like you're a superhero, you have like this crazy strength, like this is the greatest thing ever. And then, but they have to they have like a real conversation. He's like, no, I'm not. I can't do that, which is probably a very real conversation if this were to happen in like present day. But then he slides the newspaper over to his son after he saves those kids and he's like, you were right. And like the sun starts crying, oh my God, that is an amazing scene. It's amazing. It's so freaking good. Yeah. Like that whole scene is five stars. It's nuts. Like that could be the ending of the movie right there. And then you eventually get the Elijah backstory stuff after that, which I think is of both endings. I feel are fascinating. They're like, not your normal tried and true endings to a movie. How about then putting that in the in the writing and the beginning of the movie when she gives him the comic and she goes, this one has a surprise ending. I was like, yes. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. And there's just seen earlier where he holds the gun up to his dad and saying he's going to shoot him. And it happens in the kitchen too. So before he's like, you know, he's yelling at him to put the gun down because as some thinks he's the superhero and he's yelling at him that he's not. And then here he is in this quiet moment, like saying you're right in the same room. It's just great writing. There was something I read about that scene. I don't know if either what I'm about to say is true, but I'm going to say it anyway. Oh my God. That scene was based off of a real story from a convention that George Reeves, the first Superman, some kid did that came up to him at a con, pulled a gun. And the way he got the kid to put it down, he said, if it hits me, it'll ricochet and hit someone else in here and the kid put the gun down like insane. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, I love those real interactions because if he was a security guard and his son thought he had these powers like, what can I do? You know, I'm just like one man, I can't just like go finding crimes like this is not something and then he eventually uses his little instinct powers to find people. How about that dude wearing a red jumpsuit? You're a janitor, you're signing up, you're, all right, yeah, give me a red jumpsuit. Yeah. Make me look like a convict. That's what I thought. I was like, oh, he's just flashing back on what he has already done and he's on like work, detained or something. Yeah. He's a felon in train like at work program. Yeah, I was like, you have to wear your red jumpsuit if you don't work here just so everyone knows what a jump scare though when the curtains blow and he's, you finally see him in the orange jumpsuit behind it like, oh, here we go. I also love like the backstory about how he they lie and say he was injured or he continues the lie like, yeah, I was injured in that car accident. And then the woman remembering him and saying like, oh, yeah, you're that kid that almost drowned. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was cool. Proto, number three. Well, we've got to talk about the ending. The final ending when he goes to talk to glass and glass, they shake hands and then he gets the flashes of all the things that Elijah did to cause all these accidents, trying to find him and ending up being the villain. That scene, the things what Samuel Jackson says in that moment to him as he's walking out. I remember the first time I saw this, I got full body chills, I got the chills all over again. That scene just hit so hard, it's so satisfying to me, just the surprise ending in this. And I think that's what's, that's what's so like amazing about this is that he did it in the sixth sense and then to do it again in this movie in such a satisfying way is like. And I think that's why, I mean, you write two movies like this that end this way. That's your thing, man. You got, you're like, how can you, you can't go down from there? Yeah. I mean, he did try to get in the village. Remember the ending in the village. I didn't see it. Oh, okay. Um, Danny, would you think of that ending? I actually completely forgot how it ended. I honestly thought he died in the pool for whatever reason that was, that was burned into my memory that he drowns. So I thought it ended with him drowning in the pool. So anything after that, I could remember what happened when it didn't click with me. And when he said, now it's time for us to shake hands like, well, I just got to shake hands. And I was like, oh, no, he's going to flash on something and it's, it's, it's perfect. You know what the scariest thing is, to not know your place in this world, to not know why you're here, that's, it's just an awful feeling. And I feel like he didn't realize he was the villain until like he started saying the things he said. Like he realized he was a villain, but like at what cost was he the villain? All these lives have been spent killed. You can see plans for his next attempt on what he was going to do to find him out. I mean, it's such a perfect setup for a villain. Um, and I, I just loved it. I loved every second of that ending. Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake. You know, it all makes sense. In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends like you and me. I should have known way back when you know why David, because of the kids. They called me Mr. Glass. It's bonkers too that like they kept up that relationship during the movie. Like even though you can kind of sense that something is just off with Elijah, everybody goes to visit him at that his like art gallery and he tells his son don't drink. Don't take one more sip of that water. Go throw it away. We're leaving. Yeah. Danny, final point? Um, final point. I think, I think my favorite thing about this movie, we talked on it quite a bit. But it doesn't, it doesn't, it has such a great feeling of, um, it's one of those movies that it feels like it has such really well cared for, thought out, every scene is thought out. The shots of this movie, the pace of this film feels like so slow, but also in a good way because everything felt interesting. I wanted to learn more from each character. And as it, as it progressed, I just couldn't believe that I was looking at an M night movie. This didn't, I said it before, it just didn't feel like him. The shots were just really incredible, really well thought out, really well framed. And how long they lingered, I just couldn't get over it. It didn't, it just, it truly didn't feel like an M night movie. And then I'm like, God, I wish, I wish he would just pull it back and get to a story like this again. I think Knock at the Cabin was almost there a bit. But there was just something about this that I was like, man, if he could, if he could pull this out again, something on this level, it would be legendary. This movie has the same cinematographer as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What though? Yeah. About that. If they could just pull it back a little bit from these movies. Oh, boy, yeah, it's gorgeous movie, gorgeous. My honorable mentions, the page count line at the beginning of the movie, like they talk about how many comics are read every month or whatever, many pages in the typical comic book. Didn't, what did I say? They said like the page count of the average comic is like 35 pages. Yeah. It's like 20 now. It's definitely gone down. This is a real life Superman movie. The mirror stuff is great. Yeah. And that one shot where he's with the sports rep or if she's like an agent, he has this weird line that I would have gotten up and left to fight with her. There's a magazine here. You want to take a look at it? Oh, Bruce. That's perfect. Just awful. You need to work on your game a little bit, my friend. Oh, there, I mean, when Robin Wright comes to meet him at the hospital and they embrace, it's like the weak, I mean, it's like the worst embrace. I don't even know if they hug. I don't even think they hug. It's a weird embrace. Like the sun hugs him, but she's just kind of like stands there and like right then you can see more evidence of where they're at. Just awful. Yeah, you see them like let go of their hands when they turn around and the sun's not looking. Mm-hmm. How about the limited edition comic art gallery in Philadelphia that Elijah runs? So gorgeous. I need this to be real. There's to be real. I can't foresee this being real in any multibers. He's talking about this art in a way that I don't even hear art dealers talk about the art. Like if you have a Frank Miller piece of art, no one's talking about it like he is. There are some different ways to do this. Are dealers have you talked to? I've been to a few cons in my life. I just don't think that it was probably the least realistic aspect was the way he viewed comic art and the way he talked about it. I don't know. Danny, how do you feel about that stuff? It's not realistic. I don't think anyone is selling comic art that way. The way they sell comic art, this was drawn by Jim Lee. This was drawn by whoever. That's how they sell the comic art. There's no one's getting into those kind of nuances of poses and pencil lines and stuff like that. You see, they're talking about, you know, J. Scott Campbell. You see how J. Scott Campbell drew this woman's breasts in Gen 13, 10 times the size of the regular woman to signify that the young 12 year old boy buying this comic needs to buy it immediately. Like that's that. You see how she's twisted around four times around the torso. This is exactly what a woman can do. Yeah. It's not happening. Did she get an Oscar or what for Robin Wright? I want to start again. Good Lord. I'm just don't let out Oscars on this podcast. I don't even care. Seven. Should we mail people 70 million Oscars? We might have to figure this out. We had to figure this out. I think it's time. When did you think, when did you first think we wouldn't make it him telling the story about not waking up when he had a bad dream? I only noticed. Wow. There's like 10 W's. Yeah. The kids saving him. Oh. The camera's staying on Robin Wright as he carries her up the stairs. I have to let this show. Holy smokes. What a moment. Just on her face. Her looking at him the whole time. My God. She's filled with feathers. I also felt like there was almost maybe some kind of parallel between the family, this family with the parents who are dead in this house because it transitioned from the mother. I think it was the mother who was tied to the radiator who was dead. You see her laying on the ground and then it transitions to him carrying a woman who is his wife, but it almost looks like her. Almost as if he couldn't save this person, but in his own home, he's going to save her. I got that. This. That's right now. Five bang. Easy five bang. Oh. This movie's great. I did see some positive reviews. I'm curious what maybe like new viewers think of this movie as opposed to like, or if they have any comic background or not, because I don't think people talk about Unbreakable at all in the mainstream. No, they don't. Em night. Uvra. Um, it's just not talked about. But it's one of, it was, I think at the time when I saw this, it was like my payah Ruby. It's, it's going up the list. It's going back up the list. Oh my. Probe. Uh, honorable mentions, uh, we mentioned the final, uh, or the, the scene in the bedroom where he, he fights the guy. Yeah, I love that scene too. I just, I, I love it as a build up to like, you want some kind of payoff with this guy. He's unbreakable. And it's kind of perfect for what he is, right? Like he's choking him out. And this guy is trying to like, throw him through walls. Mm hmm. Everything about that scene, the way it's shot him banging into the wall and just choking this guy out. It's, it's perfect because it's like, he's banging him into the wall, trying to break his bones, but they're not going to break, right? But it's also so cool, uh, just as like another one continuous shot of having this fight. I've always loved that scene. Um, uh, Em night loves using TV news as a way to show events in his movies. Yeah. He does it here. He does it in signs, uh, he didn't knock at the cabin too. There's probably others as well, um, always pull that up. Also car crashes, like that scene of him with the car crash in the rain at night. Same thing in signs, which is like a big thing. I wonder if he had like a real car crash in his life that kind of just stuck no interest. Mm hmm. It's also big on reflections on those TVs too. Oh, yeah. That was the other thing about Elijah Glass. There's so many scenes with him where he, you see him through a reflection. Or he's upside down. You know, he's like the distorted version of David, which was a nice, um, I even thought at one point, you get like a close up of his eye. I thought his like retinas look like they were square and not circles. Did you notice that? There's one shot of, yeah, Samuel, yeah, it's real close on his eye and it, maybe I was imagining it, but it looked like he was almost wearing like contacts that changed the shape of his, of his eye. I believe you. Madness. Check the tapes. Um, where is the Bruce Willis Pacho action figure? It's probably a cons. You know there's a make it a bootleg. Mondo. I just need that on my desk. The Pacho is amazing. Also love the scene of him and his son doing the weights and the basement. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. That's such a great way just to convey, you know, how strong he is. Uh, I, yeah, I really love this on a rewatch. I, um, I was just so taken by the writing. And this just feels like so meticulously crafted this story. It's so, the writing so subtle, the characters are deep, um, they show you the connections, um, and that he does so much with the storytelling without like just, you know, you put it in your face. So I was like blown away. That was like, man, M night really has the sauce when it's, when it's hot and cooking. Um, so yeah, I, it's like, where, where did this, where did this guy go? And we need, we need him back, um, I, I'm at four stars. Yeah, I agreed. This movie is great. Um, and people don't talk about it enough. Yeah, I don't know why this episode. Hopefully that, it'll change that streaming on max. Is it actually streaming on? Did I make that up? It's a good guess if it's not. It is streaming on max. There you go. There you go. You did it. Danny? The scene, um, when he falls down the stairs, didn't bring that up, but that's a brutal scene. Yeah, it's rough. It's hard to watch. Another reason this film couldn't be made today because, uh, we would have seen 10 to 15 minutes of that train wrecking. In everyone dying in the rubble and the rescue missions and the, the, the, the ambulances, like, there's the brilliance of not showing that wreck to, to continue the vibe of this very subtle story was, it's very smart because I was like, oh, I'm jumping from train to train time survive this train wreck because I think you add that train wreck and then you have a different level of, uh, anxiety for this film. There's, there's something about seeing that chaos that changes how this film would be paced. And I think it was brilliant to take out that wreck completely. Um, this is an easy five star for me. I think this is a fantastic movie. Um, I, I, I felt the feelings that I did watching it for the first time. This is, this is a very great film. And it's, it's gotta be talked about more as one of the best comic book movies made. Now, I don't want to talk about, I don't, I've never seen the sequels. I don't want to watch them. I'm not watching them. I refuse. I think I refuse to. I don't, I think probably, I don't want to. I don't think you have to watch it. It's also tough like when, when we were doing this month, there's so many freaking comic book movies that have come out. It's hard to just be like, what are the best non-marble, non-DC comic book movies? Because there's like 90% of them now. It's just Marvel DC. It's rockets here and it's unbreakable. Wow. Okay. This Hancock good. I don't know what you're going to have fun with Hancock. What are you saying? Hancock. Hancock. Will Smith had a superhero movie in 2008 called Hancock. Hancock. Look at him wearing this X-Men ripoff costume in the backdrop of this holy cow. What am I looking at right now? The leather craze in these movies was just nuts. You couldn't have designed a, I don't know, I'm not getting into it. I'm going to get upset. Thank you. I actually meant to say we're recording this on a Saturday night. Did you finish the art? I haven't seen the art. I did it. I did it. I finished it. I'll send it tomorrow. We got to keep this train wrong. We got some letters. We got letters. 70mmpod.gmail.com Trainor and Chatt says Hancock tober. But we don't recover that movie. Can someone handle Trainor and Chatt please? Where are the mods? Where's this handler? Subject online across the spider verse. This comes from Christie. Hey guys, I saved you across the spider verse episode until after I had watched the film because I was trying to avoid spoilers. I've seen it now. Five stars. It was absolutely incredible. And now that I've listened, I want to talk about something Danny brought up. He spoke about the score and how good it was. And it got me thinking about film scores and how when we leave the theater, that's the best way to emotionally tether us back to that world. So often, when I've loved a movie but can't go back and watch the second time, I go listen to the soundtrack immediately and just soak up the mood. It's so transporter when it's done right. Some scores in the soundtracks I've been listening to on repeat lately are across the spider verse by Daniel Pemberton, Psy Lowe, Orvisson, the banshees of Innisheran, Carter Burwell, Arcane, Various, and weirdly white noise by Danny Elfman. Because I was fascinated by the song and the closing credits. The whole scene stayed with me so very long. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys have a favorite score or soundtrack from a film. As usual, thanks for such a great podcast. I absolutely adore the uncut versions we get on Patreon because I am never awake to listen to a live with the uncut. It makes me feel like I'm hanging out. I don't think I'll ever get bored of listening to you guys talk about movies. So much love, Christy. Thank you, Christy. Why the uncut love? I could not have been any more wrong about uncut episodes being desired and enjoyed. That's true. You don't have any better photos of me. I look like I'm going to hurt someone in some of these faces. Is that how I look? Don't answer that. Nobody answered that, please. Said yes. Favourite film scores. That interstellar score is pretty tops. I have a movie that I love the score of and it's a weird one. Part of you go while I search for this. I honestly don't have a running tally off the top of my head. I don't know. Fellowship of the ring always listen to that. Roots and Begums. Arrival. Soundtrack. Goodness. I'm a John Williams nerd. So ET is a big one for me. I'll put that one on. Love ET. Lord of the Rings, I've worked to quite a bit. I put Lord of the Rings on the background and just draw. Yeah. This is a weird one. But I'm going to say it anyway. When I was younger and just getting into movies, I watched this movie with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman. It's about Michael Keaton being diagnosed with cancer and having four months to live. Suffice choice. She's pregnant. She's pregnant and he's unsure if he's ever going to see the birth. And the score, I love the score of this movie. I'm just on the page right now. Let's see if I can find it. It's called My Life, the movie. Such a weird pick. I'm not sure if anyone's ever seen this movie. John Barry did the score. Oh, John Barry of James Bond Fand, right? Yes. And Midnight Cowboy. Dancers with wolves, body heat, all the hits, really. I mean, the intro to Forrest Gump is one of my favorite pieces. I couldn't tell you anything about Forrest Gump. I don't remember. Maybe I saw that movie in high school or something. I have not rewatched. I feel sick. It's too hot. What about your legs? I was going to ask what would John Lennon sound like if he was cast in Forrest Gump? But we don't have time for that. We got another letter to get to. Kirby who won the patron earlier. Hey, 70 mm gang. It's Indy from The Village. And I just wanted to send in a quick email about this week's pick. Slim, thank you for choosing this movie. As it had been on my watch list for quite some time, but never had an excuse to watch it. I haven't seen much of M Night's work, but I know this one had a huge cult following. And some even called it the best comic book movie ever. Quite a bold take. I'm sure you guys went into great detail about how good this film was. But one thing I do want to point out that really struck me was M Night's camera work. I guess this is something he always does in his movies. But I was in awe at the way some shots were set up, like the unbroken camera. One in particular brought out my inner Danny, as I said, quote, excuse me. Out loud during the shot of David talking to the nurse, right as the person that foreground starts blowing to death. How did M Night fall so hard after this in signs? Five question marks. He was clearly cooking with something here. And it's a shame that it took over a decade to finally continue the story. Also, what the F was up with that. And here's what happened next. Title cards at the end. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Like it shows that Elijah was in a mental institution or something. I felt like such a cheap way of wrapping the film up when it could have been more impactful just cutting to the credits. Enter Samuels killer delivery of they called me Mr. Glass. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the movie immensely and can't wait for you watch down the line. Much love to you at all the villagers. And I'm very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on dial up destiny in the coming week. Oh my gosh. The emoji. Wink. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. Indiana Jones was two years ago. It's been done. Okay, let's see. Oh, got a late email in here from Liam. Um, subject line is so, um, unbreakable. A message from thine foot Baron. Do I need to read it? I have to reiterate that's an inside joke because Liam sometimes takes his shoes off in the movie theater. Yeah. But sometimes barefoot in the movie theater. We don't need to get into it. We don't have the time to get into this. Some would call him a villain. Others call him a hero. Liam writes, how do you host? I probably enjoyed listening to your discussion thus far. I was rather pumped that you slim had picked this last week because I've been meaning to revisit this for quite some time. Shaman's level of inconsistency as a filmmaker is honestly amazing at this point in his career. He seems to flip flop between making absolute schlock like old the visit after earth, etc. But then his great films like Knock at the Cabin, six cents split, and yes, breakable. Although his films always have some goofy melodramatic atmosphere to them. He's always pushing to do something unique and original and unfortunately happy he makes movies, even if they're s-y most of the time. That's Liam. That's not me saying that. God, Liam. Liam going in hard on him night. Liam alone. Yes, my villager tattoo is healed up very nicely though. It confuses a lot of people. But it makes my heart happy knowing I have this awesome community. I have the privilege of being a part of. Love you gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. That's from Liam. That tattoo though, Liam. God, you kidding me? Tattoo's. I'll also say I liked old and I really like the visit. I don't agree or appreciate. I'll say looping them in with after earth, which I have not seen. I haven't seen the visit. Visit was fun. This has come back. From where? From after earth. And the last air vendor. I think he also executive produced that devil elevator movie. Do you remember that one? The elevator? Yeah, I remember that being. And then people were like, say, see back. Is he back? He only executive producer though. I don't know if he wrote it. We have the end to get to before we wrap up. And reveal next week's movie. God the vote. Wait until you hear about this vote. This comes from Philip, I believe. What's up 70 mm pod? It's Philip from Kansas City here. And I wanted to say thanks for giving us such an interesting spread of films for comic book month. Been enjoying revisiting some of these. And really enjoyed going back to Unbreakable. I don't think I've seen this since the DVD first came out. I think that was the last time I watched it was right when the DVD first came out. I think I got it. And then probably traded it in for like a dollar or two later on. It's under the road. I didn't watch this in ages. So it was great to revisit. Loved watching it in 4k. Looked and sounded incredible. It was a great iPhone viewing experience. But yeah, enjoyed it a lot. So thanks. Yeah, four stars. My my edgy take was that. Samuel Jackson's Mr. Glass is maybe the best most realistic version of the joke we've ever seen. So yeah, Nolan wishes he could be that realistic. Looking forward to what the village selects for our final. Absolutely. I'm curious. I'm hoping we do the right thing. So we'll see. All right, thanks guys. Wow. No one fans losing their minds right now hearing that. Kind of talk from Philip. Better be ready to move, Philip. All your toes. Philip getting doxed and rated right now. Squatted. Squatted. The cops are at the front door. Philip's home. Just like I don't condone. Swatting in any shape way. I just want to have it on the record. Please. I'm calling right now on the record. Let me pull up our numbers here from our vote. We put the vote out there. Voter die comic book month. Between three movies. I mentioned at the top of the show Ninja Turtles 1990 blade 1998. Scott Pilgrim versus the world 2010. And my god, the vote. Wow. Are you kidding me? Tell me. The winner. Wait, how many people voted? 200 people voted. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It was just for supporters. Then that's the law of big numbers. Doesn't matter how many more people you would add. It would always be this result. Is that true? Yeah. Can anyone research this? Can we confirm that? I believe everything through your research. Is that Confucius? The winner with 49.7% of the next week. Next week, we will be covering Scott Pilgrim versus the world. No one's surprised. The most unsurprising vote result. I will say this. You want to talk about unsurprising. I'll talk about surprising. Talk to me. You ever heard about the electoral college? No. More people voted for a movie that wasn't Scott Pilgrim than voted for Scott Pilgrim. If you combine Ninja Turtles and Blade, that got 50.3% of the vote. Scott Pilgrim got 49.7%. Are you condoning a two movie voting system? I mean, stay tuned. You want to hear more about a two movie vote? Stay tuned. So next week, Scott Pilgrim is streaming on Paramount. One of the P-streaming apps. Just consolidate the friggin apps. Paying the ass it is to scroll through my Roku apps and figure out which one is which. There's like 12 friggin apps. I've had it. Should we just download movies? No. Don't condone that either. Unless it's on YouTube. In which we can talk about it. What you're going to say? Part of what do you think? Scott Pilgrim. Next week. I haven't seen it. Never? Never seen it. Edgar Wright, 2010. Where was I? I don't even know how to respond to that. Never. Have you read the comments? Have you read the comments? Scott Pilgrim had a moment in comics. I mean, Scott Pilgrim, it just, it sounds, it doesn't sound like my thing. Brian Leo Mally, the king. He was on top of the world. Everyone thrown these Scott Pilgrim many comics at you. If you're at a shop. You heard about this, Scott Pilgrim. Mug is so funny. All right, we don't sound like that. That's probably what your Florida shop sound like. It does not what I sounded like. All I said was, get your watchman out of my face. You weren't trying to get people to buy Scott Pilgrim. I didn't have to. They knew. Well, good. He was trying to get them to buy Batman, huh? You heard about this, Batman, huh? They're buying Scott Pilgrim trades and they're buying the walking dead trades, probably. Remember people crying over walking dead in my shop? The walking dead. Did you know there's a new TV show? I just saw a trailer for it. There's two walking dead shows still. Who is watching these shows? Uh, Niggins and Manhattan now. Niggin. What? I want, I need, I need people to wake up. There's other stuff out there and carcerated. I need these zombies just to end it. Kill every character on the show. Then the ship does add of it. There's two walking dead television programs in the year 2023. Are either of them the actual walking dead show anymore? Do you remember when what's the space left? The walking dead and they're like, help me back. He's going to do two movies. Who Andrew Lincoln? Two walking dead theatrical movies. Are you effing insane? I was saying that at the time. At the time, that's what they said was going to happen. Are you insane in the head? Coral. That was good. Oh, my God. Prado, any closing thoughts on Unbreakable as we venture into Scott Pilgrim versus the world? Closing thoughts. I'm going to give a movie recommendation. And I'm going to be so bold. Let's recommend a movie that I haven't even seen. I watch it this week because my proto-sense has been tingling about this movie. Just popped up on Criterion Channel. It's called God Land. I've been, I got the trailer for this movie a couple. I know Slim has seen it, but you haven't said anything about it. But this movie fills up my alley. I've got my, I think I'm going to try it. I mean, I think I'm going to take a break for my A.F.I.List. For a near moment and fit this movie in. Who directed that? It felt like a, I think I remember the trailer like an Altman movie or something. No, it's a, it's like some Norwegian thing. I remember I watched this for a weekend watch list and it is, he hated a film. Oh, there's like some kids teeth in the trailer. I can't find movie. Oh, wait, hold on a second. This is over two hours, two hours. It's also, I'm pretty sure it's also subtitled as well. Oh, God. I can't even fold long. We'll see everybody next week for Scott Pilgrim versus the world.
