Imagine my surprise when Todd Grisham turned up doing commentary at the beginning and the end, and Mauro Ranallo turns up halfway through. It was fine. Felt a bit Rocky V. I don't think they need to do any more now u less Rocky's lad's going to step up in the 4th one and bring it all full circle. Yea most American boxing PPVs nowadays have Mauro or Todd on commentary.

At least once per show guaranteed, as well as someone being described as “en fuego” He blocked me on Twitter after I said he didn’t know the difference between a shadow and a silhouette when Lars Sullivan was in NXT.

Paid Members FLips Posted June 16, 2023 Paid Members Posted June 16, 2023 Con Air Great action film with a brilliant cast and premise, almost entirely derailed by Nicholas Cage and a god awful electric guitar score. Quote

Paid Members FLips Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) He’s so bad in it even for Nic Cage standards! My wife hadn’t seen it before and outright laughed out loud at some of his lines when they were meant to be serious. I’ve seen it maybe once before and only remembered John Malkovich being really good in it, which still stands. It feels like every important moment they went “right that’s good now let’s slow it down and add a shite guitar riff”. I stand by it. Great action, an exciting cast, and a fun plot but Nic Cage is rubbish in it and the music is junk. Edit: Actually you know who would have been way better in it? Bruce Willis. It’s essentially Die Hard on a plane anyway. Edited June 17, 2023 by FelatioLips Quote
CavemanLynn Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 What part of Con Air is meant to be serious?? It's a 90s action camp classic. Everyone in it is typecast to fuck and having a ball chewing every line because the scenery is getting blown up or shot to pieces. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted June 17, 2023 Members Posted June 17, 2023 It's an absolutely ridiculous movie, made even more ridiculous by Nic Cage, and all those silly little Bruckheimer touches. But that's what makes it so good. For shame Mr Lips, for shame. Quote

Emotional is maybe a better one. Any time a moment is meant to be poignant, or when he interacts with his wife and daughter. Quote
Paid Members johnnyboy Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Posted June 17, 2023 Oh stewardess, in case anyone needs this clarifying, the version of "How Do I Live?" in Con Air is by Trisha Yearwood, not the LeAnn Rimes version that was a big chart hit over here. Neither version is on the Con Air soundtrack album. Trisha Yearwood's version was on her compilation album "Songbook: A Collection of Hits." Quote

Paid Members gmoney Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Posted June 17, 2023 I know my Mum agrees with 'Lips. When we rented this when it was out, she tapped out half way through citing Cage's "stupid bloody accent". I loved it then, as I do now. John Cusack is the weak link in it, if you ask me. Quote
