Crocodile Dundee

It's suddenly a movie about a weirdly elitist Australian talking down to a bunch of Australian expats.

    The King's Speech.

    Although the Yes movie would be good too, just so it could be renamed "Yeah Nah Yeah".

    Superman might be cool if only because it'd finally be something "different" but not "edgier".

    Like, Ma and Pa Kent still keep their origin but their son just inexplicably has an Australian accent? Maybe that's how they all sound on Krypton

    Crocodile Dundee, all of them. Make Paul hogan the least bogan of the cast.

    I think it would add a delightful extra layer of weird to Rubber.

    I downvoted them because they used the americanised version, instead of the correct version that's called Philosopher's Stone.

    I won't be party to allowing those yanks to rewrite history anymore. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE! IT'S IMMORAL. IT SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE!!!

    Wait really. Why the efff would that be something to change? I just always thought the editor let an inconsistency through

    https://www.goodreads.com/questions/3-why-did-they-choose-to-change-the-title

    It's either:
    That the decision makers in hollywood didn't think the original title had enough pizzazz so changed it to sorcerer to thrill it up a bit.
    Or that american kids/parents just wouldn't understand what the film was about from the title so dumbed it down for them.

    Yes, she does. It'd be great. But pretending an insanely influential piece of media doesn't exist doesn't help us or the trans movement. Harry potter can exist and we can enjoy our memories of it without further contributing to it and boycotting all future sales. Fuck jk, fuck the franchise at this point, and fuck trabsphobes in general and specific. But the movies exist, they were good, and I wouldn't spend a red cent on any any new HP material, but the memories are free.

    My answer for these kinds of questions is honestly always just the last movie I saw, because that's always the only movie I can remember.
    Well, I watched The Babadook last night and that one would be really funny if everyone were Austraian

    Every Sean Connery movie! Imagine a Scottish accent playing a Spaniard from ancient Egypt as an Australian! There can be only one!

    Thought the post said Austrian. I need someone to give me a movie that would be better if the cast was Austrian now
