Saw the Fallguy with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Damn good fun movie and with not too many flaws, I would say. I would not mind if it became a franchise.
Heard that the movie is an homage to stunt actors and how they don’t get the recognition they deserve, especially when it comes to Academy Awards and getting snubbed at industry events.

Yea they really should make an award for that. It's trully indeed is an homage to the stunt work in general. The director of the movie is a former stuntman. It's basically a love story between a female director and a stuntman and also the star of the movie vs the stuntman. Pretty clever premise.

Does anyone remember a movie where these teen girls in Montreal decided to throw a party and the Habs showed up? At least I think that's how it went. I'm thinking it was from the 70s.

I had this big smile when he and Heather showed. The old man looked good for his age too! This showed me that this director respected the original franchise. And he's got my respect for that.
Loved the little Six Million Dollar Man Easter Egg they slipped in too.

These stunt actors must have their characters killed a ton of times.

Of course, mostly no work for them if Tom Cruise is the lead.

Tom Cruise stunt is spectacular but he wouldn't do the stunts the first guy did. He's not going to do face plants and risk damaging his livelihood. Risking his life is ok though 😀

It was a blast. And Lee Majors even makes an appearance with Heather Thomas.
How she looking?
Does it have anything to do with this show? Anyone remember it? When I was young and ballsy I told her I wouldn't mind going out with her ( guy-code talk for,.... you know ) Sure she was years older but worth a shot. Like they say in hockey, you can't score if you don't shoot. She was cool about the whole thing, nice and friendly but maybe because of whom I was there with? She ended up giving me a headband from the Battle of the network stars, don't know what happened to it though.:dunno:

Holly shit, this dude is French? Actor Kevin Durant.



I just came back from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes today and see this on RDS. That's insane. A franco from North of Ontario. His family originally came from Quebec city, I believe. Big fan of the Habs as well. I have seen him in some many TV shows and movies and had no idea. He always plays the heavies but he's such a nice guy. First time I saw him was in the Russel Crowe movie Robin Hood where he played Little John. Really memorable actor with a huge frame.

Movie was nothing remarkable story-wise but solid overall. A big easter egg at the end. The ape CGI effect were great.
