Back when I was doing season reviews of all the PR, I made note of the fact that Nathaniel Lees, Jungle Fury's Master Mao, turned up in the latter Matrix movies as Mifune, wherein he proceeded to swear a lot and kick ass with a big robot exo-suit until being tragically killed by mechanical squids. WELL. Upon rewatching The Matrix Revolutions last night, I spotted another familiar face. Apparently Rene Naufahu did a bit part in the same two movies, plus the video game!
Two PR mentors defending Zion together? Screw Neo; this CLEARLY is why they won.
(And while we're on the subject of Matrix movies, Zoe from Firefly also makes an appearance, a fact I totally missed on prior viewings due to having never seen Firefly at the time. And then I found out she's also been voicing a robot on Transformers: Prime, a show whose cast is also a cornucopia of fandomsmash. Seriously, this shit is like candy to me.)
What is this I don't even
Feb. 10th, 2013 10:45 pmI'm not even going to get into my thoughts on Megaforce because it would take me hours and all of my opinions are unpopular anyway. So fuck that, I have fandomsmash to report.
My husband, who is ridiculous and harbors an irrational enjoyment of terrible movies, decided that we were going to watch Battleship this evening. Initially I complained about this, as you do, until it was brought to my attention that John Tui is not only in the film, he actually has a decently big part. Wrap your heads around this fact, friendslist. JOHN TUI IS IN FUCKING BATTLESHIP. He of course plays a spectacular badass who is also quite useful because he seems to be the only one around capable of getting the protagonist to curb his "angsty Red Ranger"-ish qualities. And of course, his guns are ridonkulous and he looks stupid hot in a military uniform.
It is both surreal and hilarious to see Daggeron in a boat with Rihanna.
One of the other major characters in this film is played by Hamish Linklater, who no one cares about but me because I happened to see him in a Broadway play with Alan Rickman last year. I am kind of proud of both of these guys for getting into a major movie. It is a superbly crappy major movie, but it is a major movie nonetheless. So yeah. Thumbs up, guys.
(Footnote: For the purpose of keeping myself entertained and distracted from how silly the plot is, I'm keeping score on who is having a more difficult time controlling his accent, John Tui or Liam Neeson. So far, Liam Neeson is losing.)
