I legitimately rented that more than once as an adult. It had no right being as funny as it was.

While I'm at it, if you've never read the original short story The Most Dangerous Game, you should give it a shot.

I have watched the intro of that movie so many times lol

Thanks for the link I will definitely check it out.

For anyone thinking "Why, I know the story?" Read it.

[-] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

That movie is awful and I love it

when my dad died my brother and I rented a bunch of films to occupy our minds. the pest was the only one we turned off a few minutes after the terrible shower scene

You might be playing with fire.

Same. I can't recall any role of his where I thought he was bad. Even in bad movies he's a bright spot.

[-] karashta@lemm.ee 24 points 3 weeks ago

He was even, by far, the best thing about the terrible Spawn movie from the 90s. Absolutely love him

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I don't remember much from that movie. Only that it was amazing and John Leguizamo was the best part of it.

[-] karashta@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Trust me. That's all you really need to remember haha.

If you want to see good Spawn from that era, watch the cartoon. That was well done.

Fantastic interview! He's smart as well as a great actor. This bit stands out to me:

Because the content — Native American, Latino. They keep saying that they want to be inclusive and have us on board, but they don't green-light. They don't green-light our stories. We’re 30% of the box office in America — Latin people — 30% of subscribers on streaming, 30% of the sports fans, and you're not going to have our stories.

It's crazy, man. They're taxing us without representation. We have to do it ourselves. Tyler Perry said it. They're not going to give us a seat to the table. We got to make our own table. I agree.

One of my favorite “b list” actors. I’ll watch most anything he’s in

[-] livus@kbin.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Me too. Fantastic actor and underrated.

Little Latin boy in drag, why are you crying?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

My head canon on Leguizamo is that he's so dedicated to his craft, when he was Clown in Spawn, he actually took a bite of a real maggot pizza.

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lmfao underrated comment right here

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

He’s great in The Menu.

[-] FullOfBallooons@leminal.space 6 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing but love for my Tybalt.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

He was absolutely incredible in that role. Perfect casting.
