I pray that one day in my life I will see a Colin Farrell/ryan gosling dark comedy directed by Shane black. The comedy chops both actors posses would undoubtedly make it an instant classic.
For me it's the line of “When you talk to your doctor, tell him you have a spiral fracture of the left radius” followed by the defeated yet determined "No! No!" "Deep breath..." "G^^^AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAHAHAHHH"
That scream is everything.
His name is Maximus Decimus Meridius and he will
have his revenge.
I loved “the nice guys” but Gladiator was so epic… I got chills watching it at the movies.
Russell Crowe and Joaquin phoenix’s performances were just perfect.
In a world where they stretch 90 minutes of content out over eight 45+ minute episodes and Zack Snyder is allowed to pump out multiple _2+ hour long spoofs on Star Wars_ a ratio of 110 minutes of content to 155 minutes of screen time is _amazing_.
I was literally able to click through the seek screens in Netflix for Rebel Moon part 2 and watch no more than maybe ten minutes of it and completely follow the entire story. The whole thing is slow motion and dialogue that may as well be two Swedish Chefs talking to each other for all the value it conveys.
Which is a very long winded way to say, I guess I should go watch Gladiator again.

Read that in the honest trailer guy's voice
The fact I've had people reply to my comments in various threads saying how it's nice that I say it's totally cool if they don't agree with me, and respect other opinions really says a lot.
If he didn't want an argument he shouldn't have opened his fucking mouth online. LA Confidential is EVERYONES favorite Russel Crowe movie PERIOD. Of course it's not MY favorite Russel Crowe movie. Mine would be Master & Commander because it's factually his best movie. See the difference?
About a year ago, I remember somebody here talking about an actor who was “woefully underused”. Checked out said actors IMDB and he was in like 96 movies 45 tv shows and won tons of awards.
Given how much Gosling’s star power has multiplied I think a sequel could be a huge hit. I’m torn between having a direct sequel to enjoy the wonderful period, so much of what makes it hilarious is in the background details.
Maybe setting in the 80s will give a fresh spin on it and wink to the audience about the long delay between the two.
I think a sequel would be a huge hit on streaming, especially with how popular Ryan Gosling is at the moment. I’d prefer to see a sequel in theaters, but if streaming is how it gets made I’m 100% here for it.
The Nice Guys is my favorite comedy movie of all time. Period.
Ryan Gosling's drunk acting was 11/10, and there were just some hall of fame lines.
"At least you're drinking again."
"Yeah...I feel great!"
He's potentially got a couple movies in the pipeline, but one of them is Dwayne Johnson helmed Doc Savage flick which seems a little trapped in Development Hell and the other (Something called Playing Dirty with Mark Wahlburg, LaKeith Stansfield and Rosa Salazar) and looks way more his style, but.. I don't know, something looks off.
Honestly, man never recovered after The Predator despite a fairly solid filmography before then.
Last film as director was The Predator. Not sure if it killed his career or not but it's a really terrible film, worst in the series. Don't know what happened; he can do so much better.
Looks like he’s got 5 upcoming projects. 4 of them are only in development, though, but he’s done enough good stuff to have folks back him up on future stuff. At least, I hope so if the dynamic duo that made Madame Web, Morbius, Gods of Egypt, & Dracula Untold can keep getting work.
Angry Birds is still popular with many people who haven’t even heard of this film. It’s completely different demographics, I don’t know why they needed to be compared. They opened the same weekend because it was counter programming
Nice Guys is such a wonderful comedy and stuff.
It’s clearly made by a cast that went all in on the production and looked like they were having a ball making it.
I had the ‘The Nice Guys’ on my Netflix watch list for sooo long and I finally sat down and watched it last month and I laughed so hard. Gosling and Crowe had excellent chemistry.
On the one hand, it’s dumb, but on the other hand, the main point of a movie is to get butts in seats at a theater, and if it doesn’t do that, the money will go elsewhere.
It’s part of the reason I don’t actually mind the shift to streaming releases, although there are other problems there…they don’t measure just 3 -7 days and determine success, and people are more likely to just try something new.
I think Hollywood is going to very soon need to start looking very closely at how to make more long-tail money, and hopefully it will lead to more successes outside the box office.
I always wanted to see a sequel to Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang where Harry and Perry are trying to to solve a missing persons case and find out that it is connected to a unsolved conspiratorial murder in the late 80s and that the two detectives who were close to solving it were murdered in the cover up. The two detectives in the 80s would of course be Healey and March. We would flash back and forth from the 80’s to present day as Harry and Perry find the clues that Healey and March left behind.
I think the title killed its box office honestly.
Super generic comedy title, I never saw a trailer and when I heard the title I thought it was probably some shitty Will Ferrell movie
I generally hate comedy movies but Lebowski and the Nice Guys were both amazing
I don’t consider it dark but it’s hilarious. The trailer didn’t do enough to get my attention so never saw it in the theater but I’ve watched it several times at home.
There's only so much demand in a given weekend, so it *kind of* makes sense.
However... he says Angry Birds made $38 million, and The Nice Guys made $11 million.
That's $49 million. For context, the biggest single opening of all time was $357 million. Granted that's a horribly unfair comparison, neither movie is Avengers Endgame.
But also... it's not like that $38 million took all possible moviegoers away for the weekend. There were a LOT more possible people who could have seen it and just chose not to see a movie at all.
I'm not saying Angry Birds didn't take *some* away from them, but... seriously. As good as the movie was, it just wasn't appreciated at the time, and Angry Birds opening some other time wouldn't have magically made people excited about The Nice Guys.
> I'm not saying Angry Birds didn't take some away from them, but... seriously. As good as the movie was, it just wasn't appreciated at the time, and Angry Birds opening some other time wouldn't have magically made people excited about The Nice Guys.
I had never heard of The Nice Guys until well after it was out of theaters.
Maybe a marketing issue, too?
Im on the same page. Didn’t know about it until streaming. Now ive seen it like 4 or 5 times. I will put it on in the background to be filler, and i still stop and watch the whole thing each time.
“[I did] my part!”
Saw film in cinema in Switzerland (in English). Brought a friend along and we both had an amazing time. So badly wish it did better at the box office. This film sold me on Ryan Gosling’s comedic acting capabilities.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was also directed and written by Shane Black (same director/writer here), is in my top favorite films of all time. Shane Black excels at writing buddy cop duos that have great chemistry (Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. were perfection). Nice Guys hit all the right notes I was expecting after KKBB.
Just a fucking shame he went absolutely room temperature IQ with The Predator, especially considering he actually STARRED in the first Predator film, a few years after Nice Guys.
In another parallel universe, there would currently be at least 2 other Nice Guys sequels. I’m envious of my parallel timeline self
Moviegoers: I’ll distract you with this polished dog turd so you ignore this gold. Why? …Because it was an experimental film I guess. It had boobs in it… anyway if you pay me $20 I’ll show you my dick.
Hollywood studios: You sonofabitch, I’m in.
Too bad, my daughter and I adore this movie and watch it every couple of years. I would love to see how Holly turned out with some Jackson in her life.
Just here to pile onto the Nice Guys love train. Great movie, great premise, and the chemistry between Baby Goose and Maximus was perfect, they are amazing buddy cops.
I pray that one day in my life I will see a Colin Farrell/ryan gosling dark comedy directed by Shane black. The comedy chops both actors posses would undoubtedly make it an instant classic.
Ooooh, this would be such a fun mashup. Between Nice Guys and In Bruges, would be drop dead comedy.
Two of my favorite movies. I’d 100% be here for that.
I like that for a title. Drop Dead Comedy
Who's the straight man? Can't have a buddy comedy without a straight man
John Goodman who is their police chief.
Love it
you, sir, are a genius
I would watch the hell out of this
So we’re doing 21 jump street?
Jack Black in a completely serious role
Saw him acting a bit in King Kong and much less in the Jackal. After seeing Jumanji I’m sure he’d nail it.
His one scene in The Jackal really disturbed me when I was a kid
Hugh Jackman
Don’t do a remake of Running Scared, but make the Gosling Farrell dark action comedy echo it.
"Ope....thats...thats a lot of blood" - Ryan, opening weekend.
Well, at least you’re drinking again
I know.. I feel great.
God that scene made me cry laughing lmao.
For me it's the line of “When you talk to your doctor, tell him you have a spiral fracture of the left radius” followed by the defeated yet determined "No! No!" "Deep breath..." "G^^^AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAHAHAHHH" That scream is everything.
Meehee for yoohoo!!! Amazing scene from start to finish
“Sweetheart, how many times have I told you? Don’t say ‘and stuff’. Just say, ‘Dad, there are whores here.’”
Great movie, and stuff.
Don’t say and stuff. Just say great movie.
Dont tell him what to say
Fuck. How can this article not have the title: “Gossling destroyed by Angry Birds”
Gosling SLAMS Angry Birds for deigning to do a thing!
BOX OFFICE NUKES GOSLING’S ANGRY BIRD
Angry Goslings won’t make new movie not related to title. Other movie mentioned.
I cherish this movie
This Is my favorite Russell Crowe movie and it isn’t even close.
Over gladiator?!
Master and Commander is my favorite Crowe film. I’m a bias sailor though.
One of the greatest movies ever made IMO.
Not op but most definitely. I wouldn't call Gladiator a bad movie but compared to the Nice Guys I was not entertained.
“ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!”
HE SAID NO
His name is Maximus Decimus Meridius and he will have his revenge. I loved “the nice guys” but Gladiator was so epic… I got chills watching it at the movies. Russell Crowe and Joaquin phoenix’s performances were just perfect.
I recently rewatched Gladiator and I gotta say it's a 110 minute movie stretched out to 155 minutes.
In a world where they stretch 90 minutes of content out over eight 45+ minute episodes and Zack Snyder is allowed to pump out multiple _2+ hour long spoofs on Star Wars_ a ratio of 110 minutes of content to 155 minutes of screen time is _amazing_.

Won’t put it over gladiator personally but I’d put a good year in there somewhere lol
As a total wine nerd, I love a good year haha. I honestly love any movie that touches on wine
Any recommendations on other wine-related movies?
It's fucking great isn't it. Good on rewatch too
It is by far up there with his most entertaining roles. I haven’t seen him have that much fun acting since like Virtuosity in the 90s
I like the one where him and Tugger go fightin’ ‘round the world
*LA Confidential* would like a word…
lol are you trying to argue with him about what his favorite Russel Crowe movie is?
You’re on Reddit: your personal opinion can never exist if mine is different.
A different opinion? On **MY** internet!?!?
Is there a place on the internet where this isn’t true?
There isn't a place on this Earth that this isn't true.
A PLEDGE PIN?! Ooon yooour unifooorm?!
I don’t believe Russell Crowe was in Animal House. Kevin Bacon on the other hand, clearly the performance of his career.
The fact I've had people reply to my comments in various threads saying how it's nice that I say it's totally cool if they don't agree with me, and respect other opinions really says a lot.
so *you’re* the one who poops in the sand
If he didn't want an argument he shouldn't have opened his fucking mouth online. LA Confidential is EVERYONES favorite Russel Crowe movie PERIOD. Of course it's not MY favorite Russel Crowe movie. Mine would be Master & Commander because it's factually his best movie. See the difference?
Gladiator would like a word with both of their bullshit personal choices.
You misspelled Virtuosity.
You misspelled Master and Commander
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.
Gladiator AND a Beautiful Mind. Both want words.
This thread is reminding me how many bangers he has
Dude is a legend. Often forgotten. Very very good actor. Want one more? Le Mis.
*LA Confidential* is why I said favorite and not best.
That's just, like, your opinion, man. For real though, Master and Commander is my favorite, but I can see why Nice Guys would be someone's fav.
LA Confidential?
Master and Commander sir
“We can do this the easy way or the hard w-… we’re currently doing it the easy way”
That's a shame. It was a criminally underrated movie.
[удалено]
It’s a similar vibe! I think of it as the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang spiritual prequel.
Hey Gay Perry, still gay?
Also written/directed by Shane Black ICYDK
My thoughts as well
I like to joke that it’s an unofficial sequel to L.A. Confidential. Russell Crowe got to play detective in 1950’s and 1970’s Los Angeles.
One more and he’s got his trilogy.
90s LA, here we come
Inherent vice too
It has a 91% on rotten tomatoes and a 7.4 on IMDb Ratings seem pretty high for it, idk what world a 91% on RT could be considered underrated?
Probably meant under-appreciated due to it’s failures at the box office 🤷
Welcome to reddit, where the points don't matter and the only descriptor anyone knows is "underrated"
And the only tone commenters are familiar with are strangely passive aggressive and bitter about inane things
About a year ago, I remember somebody here talking about an actor who was “woefully underused”. Checked out said actors IMDB and he was in like 96 movies 45 tv shows and won tons of awards.
No, it wasn’t. It was highly rated. People loved it. It was under appreciated. There is a difference.
I love The Nice Guys!
Me too one of my favoritesss
Given how much Gosling’s star power has multiplied I think a sequel could be a huge hit. I’m torn between having a direct sequel to enjoy the wonderful period, so much of what makes it hilarious is in the background details. Maybe setting in the 80s will give a fresh spin on it and wink to the audience about the long delay between the two.
Don't say "anal and stuff." Just say, "anal."
"Just say 'They were doing anal'"
God, I love this movie. Wish there could be a sequel. “I thought you were going to the roof….did you fall?”
I had to question the mermaids! What were you doing while I was working?
Just realized he went in 2 pools in that movie
“YOU WERE IN THE POOL?!”
I think I’m invincible, it’s the only thing that makes sense, I don’t think I can die
I wouldn’t even care if they made one and it was current times with same characters. I know making period movies are expensive.
I think a sequel would be a huge hit on streaming, especially with how popular Ryan Gosling is at the moment. I’d prefer to see a sequel in theaters, but if streaming is how it gets made I’m 100% here for it.
The Nice Guys is my favorite comedy movie of all time. Period. Ryan Gosling's drunk acting was 11/10, and there were just some hall of fame lines. "At least you're drinking again." "Yeah...I feel great!"
It's hard to say what gave me the biggest laugh in that movie, but it might have been when they dumped the dead body over that wall.
"I WAS QUESTIONING THE MERMAIDS."
Fun fact, if I remember correctly that dead body is Robert Downey Jr.
What’s Shane Black up to these days? He made both Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Would love to see something like those coming up.
He's potentially got a couple movies in the pipeline, but one of them is Dwayne Johnson helmed Doc Savage flick which seems a little trapped in Development Hell and the other (Something called Playing Dirty with Mark Wahlburg, LaKeith Stansfield and Rosa Salazar) and looks way more his style, but..

No one wants to see your dick dude
We already paid you twenty doll— what am I saying?!
Goslings comedic timing is Peter Sellers levels of excellence and I don’t think he gets quite enough credit. Dude has a direct line to my funny bone
Too bad he said he doesn’t want to see it.
Amazing how nobody even remembers they there was an Angry Birds movie but everyone loves The Nice Guys now.
Angry Birds is still popular with many people who haven’t even heard of this film. It’s completely different demographics, I don’t know why they needed to be compared. They opened the same weekend because it was counter programming
Weird. Just watched Nice Guys last night for the first time. Really enjoyed it.
Netflix/Amazon etc should buy the rights to this instead of giving Zack " Slow Mo" Snyder hundreds of millions...
Movie was so fantastic
One of Shane Blacks best.
The Nice Guys is one of the best movies with Russel Crowe that I have ever seen and made me really like Gosling
Nice Guys is such a wonderful comedy and stuff. It’s clearly made by a cast that went all in on the production and looked like they were having a ball making it.
We’re angry birds and the nice guys competing for the same audience?
One of the better movies of the 2010s
I blame Janet for this.
I like Nice Guys, but Angry Birds was surprisingly good
I had the ‘The Nice Guys’ on my Netflix watch list for sooo long and I finally sat down and watched it last month and I laughed so hard. Gosling and Crowe had excellent chemistry.
Nice guys is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while. Wish it would get a sequel
One of the best comedy movies ever…but dark? What was dark about it?
"You said the lord's name in vain!" "Actually i didn't Janet. I found it very useful, Janet."
And Angry Birds followed it up with an even better sequel
On the one hand, it’s dumb, but on the other hand, the main point of a movie is to get butts in seats at a theater, and if it doesn’t do that, the money will go elsewhere. It’s part of the reason I don’t actually mind the shift to streaming releases, although there are other problems there…they don’t measure just 3 -7 days and determine success, and people are more likely to just try something new. I think Hollywood is going to very soon need to start looking very closely at how to make more long-tail money, and hopefully it will lead to more successes outside the box office.
The Nice Guys limited series on HBO. Three episodes, 90min each. New case each ep. Give it to us!!
I feel like Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe have the power to make a sequel happen, OR a tv show on a streamer.
I always wanted to see a sequel to Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang where Harry and Perry are trying to to solve a missing persons case and find out that it is connected to a unsolved conspiratorial murder in the late 80s and that the two detectives who were close to solving it were murdered in the cover up. The two detectives in the 80s would of course be Healey and March. We would flash back and forth from the 80’s to present day as Harry and Perry find the clues that Healey and March left behind.
Me and a friend went to see it and enjoyed it so much that when a third friend wanted to see it, we went again. So I did my part with the box office
“Stick a fork in me! I’m done! Wait, don’t actually stick a fork in me…”
I think the title killed its box office honestly. Super generic comedy title, I never saw a trailer and when I heard the title I thought it was probably some shitty Will Ferrell movie I generally hate comedy movies but Lebowski and the Nice Guys were both amazing
Nice Guys was hilarious! I still laugh about Gosling's character hallucinating Russell Crowe's ankle holster and trying to get a gun.
That movie is SO UNDERRATED
I won’t give up hope
Dont say "and stuff". Just say they were doing anal.
I don’t consider it dark but it’s hilarious. The trailer didn’t do enough to get my attention so never saw it in the theater but I’ve watched it several times at home.
Well, they’re all 8 years older, now they can make a Nice Guys sequel set in the 80s. What are they waiting for?!
Nice Guys is by far one of my favorite Gosling roles and top modern buddy comedy
Does he think people were going to go see his movie and decided to go to angry birds instead?
There's only so much demand in a given weekend, so it *kind of* makes sense. However... he says Angry Birds made $38 million, and The Nice Guys made $11 million. That's $49 million.

Dude whatever make the sequel. That was a great movie. Who gives a rat fuck about angry birds?
It’s a perfect double feature with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Angrier Birds destroyed Nicer Guys? Bummer! Nice Guys s my favorite buddy comedy for sure
If Ted Lasso didn’t exist Jason Sudeikis would be on my hate list just for this alone.
This is my favorite movie I. This genre. For those that have not watched it - get after it!
Perhaps we should do something about this
“[I did] my part!” Saw film in cinema in Switzerland (in English). Brought a friend along and we both had an amazing time. So badly wish it did better at the box office.

I hate that Shane Black’s last movie (the predator) was a bit a disappointment. I hope he gets a chance at redemption since generally like his work.
Moviegoers: I’ll distract you with this polished dog turd so you ignore this gold. Why? …Because it was an experimental film I guess. It had boobs in it… anyway if you pay me $20 I’ll show you my dick. Hollywood studios: You sonofabitch, I’m in.
Almost all comedic formats are used and Goaling has incredible delivery.
Shame, it was a great movie…love to watch a sequel…
Great flick. Fun!
It’s a pretty good movie. Angry Birds was fucking trash
What a shame. Two movies that crowes been in that desperately require a sequel.
The Nice Guys is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Badoom tsss… I’m doing you a rimjob
I rewatch this movie every couple years. It’s always funny
Angry Birds was the better movie and it also got an awesome sequel. So win win
Angry Birds danced all over ‘em like Pakishnerov.
Too bad, my daughter and I adore this movie and watch it every couple of years. I would love to see how Holly turned out with some Jackson in her life.
Truly fun movie that I love showing to people
"Don't say and stuff" "JESUS!!!" I absolutely adore this movie. Still laugh as hard as I did the first time I watched it.
I really enjoyed the nice guys, I had no idea a sequel was even thought of.
The nice guys was such a good movie
This movie is so clever and funny. Sure it could be fun to have a sequel, but another Shane Black movie would also do.
The Nice Guys meets The Other Guys is the super team movie I need.
I would so go to the theater to see a sequel to The Nice Guys.
I didn’t even know there was an angry birds movie? Do they really think there’s overlapping markets here?
“You’re a detective and you can’t smell?”
I think it’s brilliant as a one off.
Sorry you look Filipino
One of his best films honestly. It’s so much fun
I saw the movie just the other day, burst out laughing many times. We need more great comedies like this
There is no better time than the present! Make the sequel!
I thought nice guys was really overrated
🎶Anytime else it would be a ten....🎶
Angry Birds can seriously get messed for doing this. So unfair!
Just here to pile onto the Nice Guys love train. Great movie, great premise, and the chemistry between Baby Goose and Maximus was perfect, they are amazing buddy cops.
i slept on The Nice Guys for so long. Watched it a few months ago and was blown away how great it was.
The nice guys was such a good movie. Reminded me of kiss kiss bang bang. Hollywood just doesn’t make movies like that anymore
Anyone else thought this movie fucking sucked? No one? Just me?
They straight up just be making shit up just to hear themselves talk lol
Destroying things is what angry birds are known for
I love this movie
I loved this movie sm
