Even Star Wars has Luke drinking his blue milk early on.

I’d love if the McPoyles from It’s Always Sunny were just thrown into a random panel

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A real missed opportunity tbh

To be fair, The Dude’s creamer was for a cocktail.

And in A Clockwork Orange it was laced with drugs. Moloko Plus at the Korova Milkbar.

I forgot what a mind trip this movie was when I saw it as a teenager. I should really rewatch it. I understood the revenge arc but most other things were just confusing the f*** out of me. Lol

I don't think that's just milk that Alex is drinking!

and The Dude is buying White Russian mixer

It’s moloko plus… milk plus vellocet, synthemesc, or drenkrom. The latter of which will sharpen one up for a bit of the old ultraviolence

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Either was Milkbar Moloko.

There are three types of Moloko plus served within the Milk Bar; vellocet (mixed with most likely amphetamines), synthemesc (mixed with synthetic mescaline) and drencrom (mixed with adrenochrome and possibly unnamed hallucinogens)

Although the 3rd one wouldn’t do much of anything without the “unnamed hallucinogens.”

Which film is the last panel?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Leon the Professional i think

That's a great movie I'll never watch again. Creeps me out. Luc Besson should be in jail.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Been out of the loop. Whats going on with Besson?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On top of the other comment he apparently modeled aspects of Leon and Mathilda’s relationship on his own romantic one which sketches me out to no end. I enjoyed the movie but the cut I saw felt a little too close to romantic rather than the guardian/parental dynamic I expected and I didn’t even see the extended cut.

10/10 camera angle when Leon screams though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah i see that now. Wow just never realized… thanks for the insight

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He got together with his second wife when he was 31, and she was 15. So you know, bit of a pedo. Also knocked her up and she had a kid at 16.

Crazy shit…

I wouldn't say No Country for Old Men starts that way. That scene is a good ways into the movie.

Can't alcohol and milk both be bad?
