The Martin Lawrence scene with the shark in the Beach Bum is one of the funniest things I've ever seen and he was good on his sitcom.
Blue Streak is hilarious. I think if you watch it you’d be baffled he does not have more acting credits.
The loss of the mid-budget movie is truly sad. I loved these action buddy comedies in particular. Rush Hour, Blue Streak, Money Talks, Nothing to Lose all hold a special place in my heart.
Just watching an episode of “Martin” is more thba enough reason to see why Lawrence had a big career. He was overflowing with charisma, physicality and presence. That said, a lot of his movies didn’t utilize it right
Re: watching movies stoned. I watched Everything Everywhere All At Once on a bunch of gummies and had one of the greatest times of my life haha. Totally worth it. Did I retain any of the core message of the film? Absolutely not. Did I retain it all? Nah. Do I care? Not one bit. I just googled the plot summary after lol.
I'm not sure how much I buy the "can't be drunk and have seen the movie" when my local theater sells me Long Island Iced Teas for like $9 lol
Grown Up 2 is a milestone of neo surrealism. Opening the film with a CGI moose standing and pissing all over Adam Sandler for 45 straight seconds… *chefs kiss*
2 is better because they’re like fuck it we don’t really need a plot let’s just film random scenes we think are funny.
