Some sweet Kranepool tweet language from Quaid.

"Monkey fucking a football" that is an Arn-ism.

This must have been the template for the "NASCAR bar" in Talledega Nights.

Also, how does Cole not know anything about cars at all?

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:32 pm

Also, how is only now this conversation is taking place?

Duvall wearing the era-appropriate college football script hat.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:34 pm

Why the switch to the Florida Gators hat for Duvall?

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:34 pm

I like the Purolator hat better.

The "moved into the second spot"/"right behind the leader" over-explanation there feels like "it's a double-elimination tournament from a couple weeks ago.

Fuckin' pit crew monkeys.

It sounds like the same voice actor too.

COLE WINS!

Dr. Jerry Punch sighting!

Should have taken a Polaroid of Rowdy Burns from that close.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:42 pm

Ready for Nicole Kidman to show up at this point tbh

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:43 pm

Harry's a shooter, Duff.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:43 pm

I'm not sure I could like anyone who doesn't like Robert Duvall (the actor, at least).

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:44 pm

They totally predicted Dale Earnhardt's death, which is pretty amazing.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:45 pm

It apparently took 2 1/2 hours to get the truck pulled over.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:45 pm

Between Nick Searcy (the "cop" in this scene), Randy Quaid and Fred Thompson, this movie has some definitely absolutely looney tunes right-wingers

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:47 pm

Couldn't they just go with something more like "has five top-five finishes in the last six races" so it's remotely realistic?

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:48 pm

I've seen more cars saved from a spin in this movie than all of the highlights of all the races I've seen in my life.

Winning five of last six is unprecedented. But hell, how would Hollywood know anything about redneck racing.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:50 pm

In a weird way, I like that Kidman doesn't even try to do an American accent here.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:53 pm

Massive concussion, yet remembers the events leading up to it. Gonna have to cut that from the re-make.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:54 pm

Nicole Kidman circa 1990 is definitely top-tier hottest actresses ever.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:54 pm

Can absolutely confirm my neurologist and neurosurgeon were nowhere near as attractive.

Did you at least get them to feel you up?

The neurosurgeon at least saw parts of my body that hopefully no one else ever will.

This is some on-the-nose psychoanalysis from Harry here with the doctor.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:59 pm

Kidman really should end up going out with Duvall. He's the one doing the work winning her over.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 9:00 pm

Seems like Tom Cruise just stole the suit from Rain Man and re-used it in this movie.

At that the fucking truth. Saving some budget on wardrobe.

The end of this upcoming dinner scene is where we will pause.

Always get the rental insurance (never get the rental insurance).

Nice Winston placement.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 9:03 pm

First half of that movie went fast. (I wanna go fast!)

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 21, 2020 9:03 pm

Pause.

Let's reconvene at 10:15.

As you wish.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 21, 2020 9:13 pm

This is a weird backhanded complement, but Tom Cruise is probably more believable as a NASCAR driver than he is as an international assassin, retired military tough guy or any other roles where it's strange to have a 5-foot-6 dude as the ultimate badass.
