Question What was the meaning of Roger’s ‘snail’ joke in Training Day (2001)?

Post image
86 Upvotes

Roger: “Here's a joke, boy. One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he looks at it and says, 'WHAT THE FUCK’S YOUR PROBLEM?’”

Jake Hoyt: *Laughs* “That’s not funny, that’s not funny.”

Alonzo: “Then whatchu laughing for if it ain’t funny?”

Roger: “You figure that joke out, you’ll figure the streets out.”

Review Digger is good

15 Upvotes

I joined to make this post (and because I love movies)

I went to watch Digger yesterday and it was good, it deserves to be seen and I think a lot of people could get something from it.

The trailers I watched made it look like a goofy movie about a quirky character and filled with dumb jokes but it has a lot more to offer than that. It's not quirky and dumb, that's just an appearance that has a place and explanation inside the movie universe.

The movie has substance but it's not preachy. It can be understood in a lot of ways depending on your views.

I don't feel it's about or against climate change, corporations, politics and all of that.

It certainly contains those elements and makes a parody of them, showing their dark side but it's not just a social critique.

I feel the movie is about people and our role in the shape of humanity and the World, about society and why it works the way it does. About our present and our likely future.

Give it a chance and go watch it. Not everybody will like it but it has something to say to most people.

Discussion What is an 80’s movie you loved but was heavily panned by critics? I loved Arthur 2, even tho it’s not as near as good as the first one but I really found it worthy and definitely a good watch. Seeing the majority of the cast back together was a plus…

Discussion Plot hole : ‘Heat’ (Michael Mann)?

1 Upvotes

I’m not alone in loving this film but there’s a significant part of the storyline which bugs me. Neil Macaulay is a professional thief and very meticulous and cautious about planning and executing jobs. He aborts one heist when he hears a clunk that might indicate Police presence. He buys books on the tensile strength of metals to aid him in blowing up bank trucks and safes. So how does he end up hiring a loser like Waingro and using him on a job as a first timer, none of his crew had met or worked with him before, he executes a guard without cause putting them at risk of worse prison time and <checks notes> he is a serial killer. If a crew member dropped out last minute wouldn’t the cautious MCaulay have passed on the job or that time around? Make it make sense to me.

Fan Content My Tracked Unlimited Cinema Membership Stats

This isn't promotional in any way, it's a web app I've created purely for myself, which will be obvious that it's vibe coded, but I love data and I wanted to track the value I get out of my unlimited cinema membership, but also to let me keep track of my own favourite movies, with tier lists and a graph explorer.

I'm up to 55 movies so far in 2026, with a lot more to come by the end of the year

I'm assuming this will be allowed, it might be something people find interesting

Might inspire other people to potentially do similar themselves

I remember watching the Amityville Horror when I was a young teenager and I don’t think anything petrified me more than watching that movie. Once was enough for me! The Exorcist was another one that gave me palpitations.

New Release I love this Street Fighter movie - starring Callina Liang

• Upvotes

I dont give two shits if this movie doesnt age well, this is exactly how you should make a street fighter movie.

When you think about it, this is a pretty hard game to adapt. And the way they did it, they embraced the absurdity of the game, which was just perfect. This movie feels like an 80s movie released in 2026.

Now I know what you're thinking, Callina Liang is not the star of this movie, and Im here to tell you you're wrong. I forgot all about this hadouken stuff when she came on screen.

Only 2 things I didnt like, one I didnt need this much fucking animation, the first one was all that was needed. And two, maybe just a little more fighting than story.

Well thats it. I dont feel like I gave much in terms of spoilers, but its out so you should take your ass to the theater and enjoy a good time.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/1225286270

Synopsis: Exiled from radio for being lame, the world of smooth jazz has secretly thrived as an underground paradise for senior citizens. Now, as the last smoothies face extinction, they band together to find a new leader who can save their beloved Smooth World.

Thank you :)

Discussion Whalefall. Hit or miss?

Post image
19 Upvotes

I've just watched Whalefall, and was looking forward to it after reading the book.

Has anyone else read the book also? I'd be interested in your comparisons. Imo the book portrays the story better.

If you haven't read the book, your views would be appreciated too.

I think this might be a very ' Marmite' movie, as in you'll either love it or hate it.

Question Who is your favorite redeemed antihero?

Thumbnail
gallery
193 Upvotes

The redeemed antihero archetype has always been one of my favorites. There's just something I love about a character who starts out as the "bad guy" but ends up having the most heroic moment in the entire movie. Some examples that come to mind are C.J. (Dawn of the Dead), Nux (Mad Max), Yondu (Guardians of the Galaxy), and my personal favorite, Roy Batty from Blade Runner.

Who's your favorite? I'm also hoping to discover more movies featuring this type of character that I haven't seen yet.
