S4E5. Ocean's 12
Added 2025-01-09 18:08:32 +0000 UTCWelcome to Kill James Bond 2025, and welcome back to the Ocean's series! Boy, we're only one sequel in and it's already getting VERY thin on the ground here.
The Gang from 'Ocean's 11' continue to do heist nonsense in Europe.

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. Attached is their gofundme, as well as three others that I can vouch for the authenticity of.

2025-01-15 00:52:44 +0000 UTCAfter the Van de Woude heist I was expecting Catherine Zeta-Jones to turn out to be the Night Fox. She has a motive to get back at Brad Pitt, the knowledge of all these elaborate heists, as well as confidential access (VDW's codes). Also a fox is woman coded. But no, the Night Fox was just a random guy.

2025-01-14 19:50:04 +0000 UTCDutch Is A Real Language Fun Fact: Hoofdzaak can be literally-translated as Headcase. (It is a Pune, or play on words, because 'zaak' also means 'business/shop' and hoofd means head and hoofdzaak means main point or most important matter)

2025-01-14 03:03:19 +0000 UTCHonestly please do bring canes back. There's a wide variety of custom canes I've been considering lately on account of needing one to walk more than a block or two. If more people buy the fancy canes they might be easier to get a hold of. All stores normally sell are basic ones which are wonderful and supportive but typically have fairly boring decoration.

2025-01-12 12:18:28 +0000 UTCCan’t help but say that I think “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” would be a good bonus or regular episode during this run. Clooney’s directorial debut, features Brad Pitt and Matt Damon and Julia Roberts from right after the first Oceans movie and is a spy movie. Probably his best directed movie too.

2025-01-11 20:36:47 +0000 UTCi want to say that i went on a date at the met opera recently and because i was running late and had abby’s story in the back of my head, i wound up sprinting from the 57th street station to the met opera house in a full suit in the space of about 6 minutes. i did, in fact, make it right before the doors closed, so thanks for that. did find it hard to focus on la bomeme for the first 20 minutes because my heart was about ready to beat out of my chest.

Crispined Glover Potato Snacks
2025-01-11 02:28:45 +0000 UTCThe film does actually foreshadow that they stole the egg multiple times by pulling the same trick as Usual Suspects and having the camera repeatedly watch the backpack in EVERY scene. They also explain that they had to act like they were stealing it so that the Night Fox didnt realize theyd already stolen it and have him come after it and them. In fact, many of the elements of this film are done the same as Usual Suspects now that I think about it....Also Linus' mom has REAL credentials, its why she and her husband are such legendary theives, theyre COPS AND THIEVES so they can always get away with it!
deathbysamurai
2025-01-11 01:04:59 +0000 UTCNgl as someone who rewatches these movies to an embarrassing degree I love this one, but it's a MUCH more fun watch the second time around knowing that you don't need to worry about the heist and you can just enjoy hanging out with the characters. The first film is undoubtedly the best of the trilogy, but the next one I anticipate a couple pleasant surprises for you all.

2025-01-10 22:19:08 +0000 UTCYou perfectly articulated my feelings on this film versus Eleven. The first one grants you some nuggets of interesting shots and foreshadowing on a rewatch (kinda like the Usual Suspects), but Twelve's answer to sequelizing this is just "MAGIC! (jazz hands)"

2025-01-10 20:27:40 +0000 UTCI also think it being Topher Grace is a very nested actor in-joke about Tobey McGuire being a big poker guy at the time
John Leavitt
2025-01-10 19:25:26 +0000 UTCSorry to hear you didn't like this one. I get why many don't like Ocean's 12, but I think it's a clever sequel about the challenge of making a good sequel, which also asks what makes a heist movie work and comes to the conclusion that it's not actually about the heist. It's also just a great hangout movie. 12 is weird and shaggy and unconventional, but I'd take that over 13, a totally solid sequel that retreads familiar territory and doesn't leave much impression. Just my (unasked for) two cents. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the remaining Ocean's.

2025-01-10 10:34:52 +0000 UTCI saw this in the theatre but had absolutely no memory of the plot. I thought that was due to having been a horny teen making out in the back row throughout but I now realise the movie was also to blame.

2025-01-10 10:15:40 +0000 UTCEvery time the Faberge egg was mentioned my autism brain would not stop screaming WHICH EGG?? because I had a brief Faberge egg hyperfixation about nine years ago, so I looked it up. It’s (a replica of) the Imperial Coronation Egg, made for the Tsarina in 1897. The Faberge eggs usually contain a ‘surprise’ (sometimes multiple layers of them), like a very expensive Kinder egg, and this one has a 4-inch long replica of the Imperial coach that the Tsarina rode in to her coronation made of precious metals and featuring moving wheels, doors that open, shock absorbers and a folding step-stair. It is also literally the one that comes up if you put ‘Faberge egg’ into Wikipedia. If you’re ever looking for a Wikipedia rabbithole, I highly recommend going through the list of all the Faberge eggs.
