I'm still amazed that the timebomb ticker that starts at 20 minutes really takes 19 minutes and 55 seconds before it's stopped at 5 seconds. It's so rarely done in movies and the pacing of those 20 minutes is just a work of art...

Actually I want to nitpick that in the case of the two "Wake up a girl with a kiss" Princess movies, both Snow White and Aurora had met their Princes and were attracted to them before being kissed by them, so no matter how much you can nitpick how long they knew their princes prior to said kisses, they were still one step up from Corbin kissing a complete stranger without permission.

[@ShaunRF]

@@joshuagross3151 Idk, for all we know he isn't aware of him at all. Because he never refers to Corbin by name, nor does his henchman ever say the name, he may have just been aware of the contest and told his guy to to take the place of the winner. Being a little pedantic here aren't we though?

[@davidlacoste]

I didn't realize it until i was told it. So you're way smarter than me.

[@bhikku23]

Fun fact: Zorg's henchman, the one who gets blown up by the phone, was played by English trip-hop rap artist Tricky. He was so nervous about performing with Gary Oldman that he spent the entire time stoned. His munchies got so bad that he kept a snickers bar in his pocket at all times. When they were doing takes where the camera was on Oldman, Tricky would sneak a bit of his snickers, which Oldman thought was the weirdest and most eccentric thing he'd ever seen in his career.

​@@CerberusGX "Aha! You criticize society, deriving the benefits that come with virtue signalling, yet would be miserable if changes were implemented in order to align it with what you claim (and perhaps even believe) it ought to be!" - something like that... or, perhaps, the strawman stance you've posited. Who can tell? There's a brilliant joke about a Soviet goat herder that very cynically explores this concept. Either way - if you make no effort to put your money where your mouth is, and if you couldn't want or even imagine a world organized more in tune with your lofty ideals, then perhaps you are merely full of shit instead of being a visionary. There is some merit to the claim that any given society is so interconnected on any given issue that a shift on an individual level is not feasible without fundamental alterations to the entire system preceding it, but let's not claim that every opportunistic hypocrite out there is purely held back by circumstances.

This movie is so delightful bizarre, the definition of a cult classic. And sweating blood is a real thing (Hematidrosis) which is caused by severe emotional stress - the idea in the movie being that it happens to humans in the presence of that "absolute evil".

Most scifi turned into angst-filled dramas after Battlestar Galactica. It was the camp and humor that made the old scifi so watchable.

[@GuukanKitsune]

I always felt that one of the best things about this movie, absolute best, is that the hero, Korben, and the main villain, Zorg, not only never meet, but never even become aware of one another. The villain is destroyed through sheer karma that he brought on himself (while Korben prevails through the same thing giving him access to Zorg's ship)

[@adamndirtyape]

The scene where the guy tries to rob Korbin as he leaves his apartment is one of the best bit parts I've ever seen in a film. The guy is so memorable and funny, and if you notice, once Korbin disarms the robber, Korbin puts the gun in a bin stuffed with other guns that he doesn't use, implying this sort of thing has happened many times before. So many funny details like this in the film.

Luc Besson is a great director. Check out some of his other movies too like "The Professional".

Leon: The Professional

[@Cozfx]

"Lucy" was another great movie from Luc

[@tarmaque]

@@johnfriday5169 Originally it was titled simply _Léon_ by Luc Besson, but in the United States they retitled it _The Professional_ after some studio meddling. After many years of confusion most people combine them.

[@johnfriday5169]

@@tarmaque all I can tell you is the copy I have with all the missing bits is titled Leon The Professional.

[@tarmaque]

@@johnfriday5169 That's a later reprint. My first introduction to it was a European print that a friend of mine who owned an underground video store let me borrow in about 1996. It was titled simply _Léon._ Not long after that it started showing up in video stores under the title _The Professional_ and was one of the cut versions. There are about 4 different versions of the movie with various scenes cut or added. I don't think there is any version of the movie with all the removed content replaced. The _Léon: International Version_ is the most complete, but it actually has at least one scene cut from it that actually are in other versions. However it's a rather innocuous scene that isn't very important.

Fun fact: The opera sang during this movie, "Diva Dance," was designed to be unsingable by humans. Though that hasn't stopped several people from doing a good job of trying.

[@TheZapan99]

The diva is played by Maïwenn, that of course dated director Luc Besson at the time. She later became an awarded director herself.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

The first half is a legit Italian opera, the second half is the unsingable part.

Ian Holm in Time Bandits as Napoleon is a must see.

[@jasonp.1195]

Time Bandits was one of those films that cable like HBO used to play heavily back in the day, so it pressed into my childhood eyeballs many times (along with "Flash Gordon", "Clash of the Titans" , "2010:The Year we make contact", and late night special "Outland") but I didn't recall, until this comment, that Ian Holm role of Napoleon. Natalie might have fun with any of those movies, but "Time Bandits" certainly has more than its share of weird and wonderful moments to react to. Hopefully her Patreon voters bring that up in their polls.

[@sparklypeanuts]

Such a good film!!!!

I love that this is one story where the antagonist and protagonist never even meet.

[@KnightofDuroch]

Another thing that occurred to me later in life: when Leeloo pindrops into Corben's cab totally at random, it's supposed to be some destiny shit of the plot falling into our stalwart hero's lap. Except when Corben delivers Leeloo to Cornelius, he then EXITS THE PLOT. Until it turns out he's not actually a regular old cab driver, he's actually this super-duper ex-marine who's perfect for the mission to save humanity that he accidentally ran into 20 minutes ago.

That seems backward to me. It's not a coincidence that she fell into Corben's cab--that she would fall into Corben's car is why he's the main character. The huge coincidence is that he's this super duper marine guy.

[@mjm3091]

And Harry Potter. It's because people comment on those videos to watch these movies, but also like in other reaction channels - a lot of reactioners copy what others do, seeing the impact in views some of reactions gave the others. It's very much what happened with music, KPOP and anime. It looks like old movie series that people didn't watched yet is one of the bigger trends now for reactioners.

[@tfpp1]

@@hairywelder5188 Natalie seems genuine, but she's different than Brandon. She's not involved in the industry to begin with, so she's watching movies with a different eye towards different things, and she's a different personality. Doesn't mean she's not sincere.

If you liked this, then try "Big Trouble in Little China", with Kurt Russell.

This film holds several hidden allusions to "Pinocchio", and "Frankenstein". Engineered being. Blue planet in the Angel Constellation, and Blue Diva = Blue Fairy. Gemini Croquette Contest = Jiminy Cricket. Four Stones in Belly = Four characters in the Belly Of The Whale. Fhloston Paradise = John Milton's "Paradise Lost", which is one of the 3 books that The Monster reads to understand language, in "Frankenstein".

"Why do these guys look so weird?"" They're from another _planet._ What's _surprising_ is that they don't look even _weirder._

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

When this movie came out the critics hated it. I went to see it in the cinema with a group of friends because I liked the other movies that Luc Besson made before this and we all had a blast. I assume that they were just expecting a serious SciFi movie, but this has so many elements of a farce, that it's a weird amalgamation of comedy, action adventure, love story and SciFi. Which makes it uniquely itself. It was his homage to the French comic book series " Valérian and Laureline". He did get the chance to make a movie directly based on that comic book series a couple of years ago with "Valerian and the city of a thousand planets", which is ok in my book, but would probably been much better if he had cast the main characters a bit more mature.

[@Kthomasritchie]

This movie is a complete mess. Totally understand why it was panned by the critics.

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

Agreed in regards to "Valerian". Visually, it was a stunning sci-fi movie. But if their lead actors were just a bit older, it would have worked better.

[@stranger59]

Only thing I really disliked in Valerian was the two leads... but they're in most of the film, sadly.

[@kennethfharkin]

I very badly wanted to like Valerian and it had one of the coolest openings ever. The casting of the main characters was absolutely horrendous. Cara Delevingne has the charisma and acting range of a lump of coal. I can't even remember the name of the waste of film who played Valerian. There we numerous other weaknesses but overcoming two leads whom I only wanted to see die was pretty much impossible.
