What's your final verdict?
>>151103308Sovl if only for the god awful but clearly 2000s indie quality animation its got
>>151103308Little known fact: Sean Connery (PBUH) recorded all Sir Billi's lines in his sleep.
It's incredibly offensive.
Reminder that Sean Connery accepted working on this piece of shit but turned down playing Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movies because he "didn't understand it".They offered him a percentage of the films profits. Because the movies ended up being super successful he would have gotten the biggest pay day of any actor in history had he accepted the offer.But no fuck Lord of the Rings Sir Connery decided to play Sir Billi instead.
>>151103388>Because the movies ended up being super successful he would have gotten the biggest pay day of any actor in history had he accepted the offer.Thats fucking insane how have i never heard this beforeAlso connery was based just for this interview alonehttps://youtu.be/_YDqm7LXt2g?si=875vNO1KdE6D6-rN
>>151103388It was the first Scottish CGI movie. He was defending his roots.
>>151103388>"didn't understand it"wasn't that just his alzheimers?
>>151103411then they should've also stopped calling him "Sir" because being knighted by the Queen of England is recognition of English dominion over the Scots
>>151103388Honestly, good. I like Connery but I don’t think he would have been right for Gandalf at all.
>>151103308Sean Connery's final role...
>>151103432But think about it, casting a decaying Sean Connery would've prevented the awful Hobbit films from getting made.
>>151103388Was it Gandalf? I heard it was Saruman. Either way it would have been funny but ultimately worse casting. Him rejecting LotR and seeing it become a big success is why he decided to do League of Extraordinary Gentlemen kek.
>>151103443Pretty sure it was Gandalf. Saruman ended up being played by Christopher Lee and he was like the complete opposite of Sean Connery.Lee was a huge nerd regarding the Lord of the Rings books and actively really wanted to be in the movies. He originally wanted to play Gandalf but he settled for playing Saruman instead. He was just happy to be in a Lord of the Rings movies because he was a huge fan.
>>151103308Kingcobrajfs lookin nigga
>>151103463Wasnt he the only cast member who actually met tolkien too?>>151103466Jesus christ lmfao
>>151103433This is just as hilarious as Robert Stack's final role being fucking Butt-Ugly Martians of all things
>>151103429Scotland use to be a kingdom too with its own queen. Maybe it's time to bring it back.
>>151103489Orson Welles wrote, directed, and starred in Citizen Kane which is widely regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time.His final role was in the 1986 Transformers movie where he played Unicron the planet sized Transformer. He did not give a SHIT about the role and is basically quoted as saying he was voicing a toy for some movie that was a glorified toy commercial.
>>151103493Do you know why they're not? Because Elizabeth I of England died childless and the throne passed to James VI, King of Scotland who then became King of both. I don't know why Scots like to pretend they were conquered by the English when the two were unified by their fucking King becoming King of England.
>>151103388they tried to rope him into one of those multi-picture deals with "league of extraordinary gentleman' but had bad sequel flashbacks from highlander 2 then hotfooted to Jamaica, letting this be his final film was the big middle finger he probably wanted to give Hollywood for decades,my hat's off to ya ,sir
>>151104514thisch is copium of tha highescht calibre
>>151103411I like how the directors seethed over the Scottish board of tourism using Brave as a way of marketing their country instead of their piece of shit.
It wasn't that bad
>>151103388reminder that Sean Connery traded for his entire career on being Scottish even though he moved to France and Spain in 1970 and never returned to Scotland
>>151103388and this is the guy who starred in Zardoz as Zed?
>>151103429he was a Spanish citizen >>151104215as usual it comes down to being mad about the royals being German, in this case George I who became king because he was the most senior descendant of James I, and the Scots refused to recognise his mother as queen unless they got trade concessions (seriously) which they eventually did getliterally every war between england and scotland since 1600 has been either a religious war started by James I or his direct descendants (children and grandchildren) or a succession war started by descendants arguing over which of them should be king (of england and scotland and ireland; you can't be king of wales because it's a principality)mostly it's Mel Gibson's fault for making a film about a war that started because the scottish king fell off his horse and died and the norwegians (really) tried to take over, leading to the scots inviting the english in as arbiters of succession, but somehow only managing to portray scots in that film as violent drunks who like to show their genitalia to strangers; before 1995 the nats were a joke
>>151103388He'd've been a terrible, if entertaining, Gandalf.>"Ish it shecret? Ish it shafe?"
>>151103432Yeah.Imma be honest, Connery wouldn’t have had the patience to spend 2+ years in bumfuck New Zealand for a role. He was a little too high maintenance for all that grime.Connery also turned down the Matrix for similar reasons >>151103388
>>151105697>Connery also turned down the Matrix for similar reasonsWill Smith also turned down playing Neo in the Matrix. I doubt it was because it seemed like too much work and more like he just had no faith in the movie.Also while Peter Jackson ended up being a good choice as director for the Lord of the Rings movies can you imagine being a Hollywood agent trying to talk Connery into being in the movie and he asks to see Jackson's previous work? Before Lord of the Rings Jackson's work consisted mostly of bloody over the top gorey horror films and stuff like puppets singing about getting sodomized up the ass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulb0pLBgRCwSo imagine you're Connery and they want you to spend 2+ years in bumfuck nowhere to make a fantasy movie you don't understand for the sodomy puppet guy. Understandable why he turned it down with that context even if it seems like a bad decision in retrospect.
>>151105622>Bilbo Bagginsh! Do not take me for shome conchjuror of cheap tricksh!
>>151103308It was very silly
>>151103308my that sub qweiruqvndqf adventure
>>151103388glad we got some aids ridden faggot instead. very christian mr peter jackson
>>151106994>Gandalf: actor is GAY>Dumbledore: JK Rowling said after the fact he's actually GAY even though it's never mentioned in the booksApparently if you're an old fantasy wizard with a big white beard you are just auto-gay.
>>151107050That's why Saruman dabs on homos.
>>151103388Based Bond
>>151103308>>151103388Final movie should have been SkyfallWould have been ultra kino
>>151107137>SkyfallI usually hate fake death scenes. You know when they pretend a main character is dead to emotionally manipulate the audience but then minutes later they are alive?But Skyfall did it the RIGHT way. The fake death happens right at the beginning of the movie so you know he's not actually dead because there's like a whole James Bond movie left and you can't have it without James Bond. When he appears alive again it's not even treated as a big shocking moment it's like the director had enough faith in his audience that he realized they probably knew Bond wasn't really dead.So he just shows up alive and it's like "well duh of course he's not dead".
hey member how they were going to have an old james bond show up and be all 'so this is the new guy using my codename' but they didn't do that because james bond has to be a real flesh and blood person because they thought the audience would be confused at two people being called james bond
>>151107162Is this a new bot? I keep seeing this retard in multiple threads
>>151103308A genuinely disgusting film in how it completely exploits Connery, but whatever
>>151103509And which movie has more cultural capital?
Sir Billli is technically indie animation
>>151107122>saruman of many colours >dabs on homos Saruman is the biggest shlong slurper of thd bunch
>>151107497Citizen Kane has "cultural capital" because when hack fraud journalists want to make articles about artistic games they just call it "the Citizen Kane of gaming".Calling any game they consider "art" the "Citizen Kane of gaming" is not all that different from how these shitty journalists would call any slightly difficult game "Dark Souls".>WHY CRASH BANDICOOT IS THE DARK SOULS OF 3D PLATFORMERS>-t. some faggot
This aired on TV in the UK
>>151103399The edit where he slaps the interviewer is so funny.
>>151107587Go back to /v/, gaymer subhuman>>151107610Post it, ive never seen it before
>>151107748Sorry for late reply, only just now checked back on this thread. Hope you still see this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo0d1zTAFKA
>>151107562Why "technically"?
>>151103388Based Connery
>>151103388> connery spreading his STDs to the blackchuConnery did understand what was really important.People still remember this piece of shit, nobody remembers the lord of the rings except thru some memes.
>>151110077hey what happen to his glasses
>>151110077Why'd he kill all those Congolese
>>151103308Never seen it, so I have no informed opinion to share.
>>151103308trash
I remember thinking it was weird that 90% of the movie is one non stop rescue mission, and I remember there was some woman that seemed to be treated as a celebrity appearance who was hideous but had huge tits.
Does Scotland have a national Hoilday? Like Canada Day or July 4th? I can't seem to find a correct answer.
>>151119242Yep. Saint Andrew's Day for their patron saint, like Saint George's Day is England's and Saint Patrick's Day is Ireland's.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Andrew%27s_Day
>>151103509He was not as down on the film as is usually stated.And he had great taste.
>>151111140A Stuarts dream
I want a movie about the odd friendship between the Highlander and Gurkha Regiments in the British army.
>>151119360Did orson like shockwaves design or something? He is a personal favorite of mine too so based taste
>>151103509My favorite of these final roles is Raul Julia in Street Fighter.He knew the movie was going to be shit, he knew he didn't look like game!Bison, and he knew it was going to be his last role (as he was literally dying from cancer), but his kids liked Street Fighter, so he gave it all and made the movie worth watching for his Bison alone.
>>151119290Thanks anon, I wasn't sure.
>>151119242it's easy to remember because it's exactly six months after Greece's national holiday
>>151117277Miriam Margolyes? yes to both
>>151119867How do you have a national holiday when you are all unemployed?
>>151119867What an odd way to remember it. Who gives a fuck about Greece.
>>151120783Greece is the inverse of Scotland>warm>dry>happy>flag
>>151107050Wizards wear robes because Odin crossdressed on occasion and Norse priests did lemonparty in the woods
>>151118309Saber is Welsh
Bessie Boo the Beaver!
So the moral was...reintroduce beavers to Scotland?
>>151121568that happened 3 years before this movie came out tho
>>151103308The fact they needed to mention the movies the actors were in, in smaller text in brackets, seems incredibly desperate to me.Like>dude just in case you forgot these actors were pretty big deals, please watch out film!!The tame letter font and now dated CGI renders do not help any. Look at Sir Billi's eyes, it just looks awful, so derpy with the glasses.
>>151119360>>151119450This isn't real. It's reference to some interviews he had.
>>151121133You forgot>brokeAlso >flagOkay? Every country has one.
>>151103388>They offered him a percentage of the films profits. Because the movies ended up being super successful he would have gotten the biggest pay day of any actor in history had he accepted the offer.Every successful film is a failure according to Hollywood accounting.
>>151122814You take your cut out of the gross not the net.
>>151103388It was for the best
>>151104215I think it's partially because James was a major anglophile and basically completely abandoned Scotland and Scottish culture once he gained the English throne
>>151103388Good, Connery's a great actor but he wouldn't have fit Gandalf at all. Ian McKellen was a perfect choice as Gandalf and one of the best performances in a trilogy full of incredible performances.
>>151122780god you're dumb
>>151119360Somebody call Maurice Lamarche.
>>151125157rude
>>151107230>Never saw you only live twiceDo you even know what a James Bond is?
Why do scottish hate british so much? Theyre the same
>>151103509reminds me that Stan Lee's last movie (either shot or shown before death) was the Teen Titans Go moviehttps://youtu.be/MxHUS3sUFJQ?si=wAWkpf7xOPnsk6q0&t=34
>>151103388>>151103308If I recall Connery was about as against all the references to his filmography as Robin Williams was against his likeness used on Disney's Aladdin marketing.

>>151119414Why were 7-year-olds fighting the war?
>>151127941literally everyone hates the english, including the english
>>151103466Rip
The ladies in this movie had some fat asses
>>151127941scots are slavers
>your legacy is slapping women and Sir Billirip bozo
>>151103308The animation wasn't as stiff as I thought it would be.
>>151103308It was quite silly
>>151130220silly billi
>>151103308s'okay
>>151105588>There's a whole organization in Britain for itWhite bros...not like this....
Your da sells Avon
>>151132139yer ma poonts council>>151132096aye and?
>>151132730Miss Irons can get it
>>151103388Muh National Pride. The thing most people remember Scotland for is a film that is officially ranked by historians as the second most historically inaccurate film based on real people and events in Human history which was basically propaganda.
