Family Feud Nominations, Who is the Best Doctor Who Family

If I've missed a character out of one of the families let me know (within reason, I imagine all these families are massive in the EU, so prioritise tv or significant characters)

Currently, the only rule is no families may inculde anyone who is even ambiguously The Doctor, it'll get super complicated super fast imo

Any characters, eg River, who can link up multiple different families to create a single massive family unit will be treated on a case by case basis. If it is possible to pick one of the smaller family units that they are a part of to include them in while not including them in any of the others (in a way everyone will agree at least makes sense) they will be included in that family only, otherwise they will not be included

Please bare in mind when you are nominating that I am hoping to keep the number of nominations under 64 to run this as a mini-tournament. This is not a hard rule so if nominations do exceed 64 its not a big deal, just something I'd like everyone to bare in mind

Bluebelle and her tall son Belcar! My dungeon meshi ocs whom I love dearly!

Lore ⬇️

Belcar’s first mother was Bluebelles first and best friend when she first moved to the city they loved having similar names. (Her name was Carabelle)

And his name is a combination of their names as Bluebelle was with her the entire pregnancy after her husband unexpectedly died. Unfortunately due to a sickness that swept the city Carabelle passed when Belcar was 11 months old.

They live with Blue’s sister Yellowjack and her husband Clive who run an apothecary together. (They also sell spices). Bluebelle and Belcar collect herbs, roots and other plant parts to be taken back to the shop to be dried and processed.

Bluebelle and Belcar are pretty well known in half foot circles and he is usually referred to as Bluebelle's boy or her Tall son. Which unfortunately sometimes gets shortened to Talson and people think it's his name. He is prepping for a jewelry making and goldsmithing apprenticeship which will start when he is 18 (he's currently 16).

Belcar is like a very responsible teen much to bluebelle's dismay he has no desire to do any reckless teen stuff like drinking, smoking, sneaking out etc. She parented too well and now has a responsible nerd son (affectionately).

Her favorite bit is to convince new people that he is her biological son. Especially when they say they can see her in his face (they look nothing a like). She also likes calling him her bag when she makes him go shopping with her. And she has even taken over one of his pants pockets to hold her purse.

She has a slew of nicknames for him Bel bel, baby bel, muscles, Belly boy, car car, and tall son. He is also very protective of her as she’s so much smaller than him and someone has attempted to pick her up before. (They claimed it was a joke but that was after Belcar spear tackled him so who really knows)

He’s is now biased against other races due to mistreatment he’s seen towards half foots. Meaning he tends to come off as standoffish and rude. Bluebelle wishes he wasn’t like this but he’s pretty firm in his belief of arms length until proven otherwise.

[mitjalovse]

Patti Labelle's Bel Hommage belongs to a category of oft-maligned albums, i.e. the collection of covers of the traditional pop tunes. Why is that so? My guess might be that Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook enterprises are a reason for these records' bad rep. Then again, Rod Stewart had a great idea, he just needed a better producer. Mind you, I'm not besmirching Clive Davis, Stewart's, ha, steward of the projects, yet the latter became something of a corporation in his later years, when one discusses his place behind the scenes. Most of Davis' choices these days feel calculated for the maximum efficiency and these can destroy any spontaneity that needs to be present on such LPs. That might be my biggest pet peeve with them – they all follow their formulas too well.

LIST

YES, YES, Y'ALL: THE 25 DOPEST EARLY RAP SONGS

By Stereo Williams

Published Thu, August 11, 2022 at 12:00 AM EDT

August 11, 1973 is widely celebrated as Hip-Hop's birthday. It's the day that Clive "DJ Kool Herc" Campbell and his sister Cindy Campbell, threw a "Back To School" jam at the address of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. It was at this party that Herc debuted a new technique of extended the break of popular records by mixing two records of the same song together. It was an innocent spark that spread like revolutionary wildfire. 

Hip-Hop's true first wave wasn't made up of recording artists. These were creatives coming together in a community across the South Bronx and eventually other parts of New York City. But by the end of the 1970s, DJs and graffiti artists and breakers had provided a foundation on which emcees could launch viable careers, and rap records became a reality. Labels like Sugar Hill and Enjoy Records scooped up acts from across Uptown and the Bronx, as groups like Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, The Treacherous Three, and the Funky Four Plus One suddenly made the leap from the parks to the recording booths.

By the mid-1980s, artists like Run-D.M.C. and Whodini, along with the emergence of the Def Jam label, spelled the beginning of the end for rap's first wave. But there is some tremendous music that came out of Hip-Hop's first generation, songs that became calling cards for the genre for decades to come. We picked 25 of the songs that helped shape, define, and ultimately bookend, Hip-Hop's "True School" wave up through 1984 (and some 1985.)

#26

"SAVE YOUR LOVE FOR #1" - RENE & ANGELA FEAT. KURTIS BLOW [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! Kurtis Blow stepped into the producer's booth for this banger with one of the hottest R&B acts of the 80s.

#25

"AT THE DIXIE" - COLD CRUSH BROTHERS (AND THE FANTASTIC FREAKS)

The energy of the Cold Crush's live performance was perfectly captured in this iconic closing track from the movie WILD STYLE. Everyone shines here, but Caz steals the show with a verse that's part tragedy, part comedy, and all lyricism. 

#24

"APACHE" - THE SUGARHILL GANG

The classic tune got a Hip-Hop makeover, courtesy of Master Gee, Wonder Mike and Big Bank Hank. And it became permanently embedded in pop culture via an episode of THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR. 

#23

"FEEL IT (THE MEXICAN)" - FUNKY FOUR PLUS ONE

MC Sha Rock suggested the group revisit "The Mexican," a popular breakbeat for b-boys and b-girls in the 1970s. The result was one of the Funky Four Plus One's most infectious singles.

#22

"NEW YORK, NEW YORK" - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE

Another hit from Melle Mel and Duke Bootee following the success of "The Message," it features more gritty storytelling about the Big Apple, this time going full on into darkness, as they rap about the big city. 

#21

"RAPPIN' AND ROCKIN' THE HOUSE" - FUNKY FOUR PLUS ONE

MC Sha Rock, Jazzy Jeff, D.J. Breakout, Guy Williams, Keith Keith, K.K. and Rodney Stone. A dancefloor staple and the first single from the legendary crew from The Bronx, MC Sha Rock shines in particular on this classic and a great showcase for the house band.

#20

"HEY D.J." - WORLD FAMOUS SUPREME TEAM

Nobody hates this song. It's one of the most beloved songs of all time. One of the 1980s most joyously effervescent singles, it still sounds as fun and upbeat as it did decades ago. 

#19

"SUPERRAPPIN'" - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE

The first single from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five was also one of the first rap singles ever released. The classic 12-minute version introduces the entire crew, and the groove is a perfect showcase for the Sugar Hill Records sound.

#18

"PROBLEMS (OF THE WORLD)" - FEARLESS FOUR

On this single produced by none other than Kurtis Blow, the Four break down everything from mental wellness to the drug game. Here, depression and hustling are linked, long before most rappers had made the connections.

#17

"THE NEW RAP LANGUAGE" - TREACHEROUS THREE W/SPOONIE GEE

Kool Moe Dee, L.A. Sunshine, Special K and former member/guest star Spoonie Gee were breaking ground from Day One. One of the earliest examples of triplet rhyme, and a revelation; and a leap forward for lyricism. 

#16

"ON THE RADIO" - CRASH CREW

Harmonizing on rap records before it was cool, the Crash Crew had one of the most unique sounds in Hip-Hop's early days. Known for tight rhymes and routines as well as some of the best harmonizing committed to record, The Crew etched their own lane long before rap became a multi billon dollar industry.

#15

"MONEY (DOLLAR BILL, Y'ALL)" - JIMMY SPICER

Spicer had some of Hip-Hop's smoothest early tracks, with rhymes that could be effortlessly cool and hilarious. One of his best was this uber-classic; a single that would later be famously revisited by Wu-Tang Clan on "C.R.E.A.M."

#14

"FUNK BOX PARTY, PT. 1" - MASTERDON COMMITTEE

MasterDon, Pebbly Poo, Gangster G, Keith KC, Boo Ski and Johnny D crafted one of the most infectious party rap records. And its where Master P got that classic "Make 'Em Say Uhh" hook from. 

#13

"JAM ON IT" - NEWCLEUS

It's impossible to hear this electro smash and not start pop locking--almost spontaneously. It's one of the best singles of the 1980s and a hit that cemented the electro sound as a force in Hip-Hop. 

#12

"ROCKIN' IT" - FEARLESS FOUR

That Kraftwerk sample is one of the best ever, and this gem from the Fearless Four would become a benchmark for so many later hits like MC Lyte's "Cha Cha Cha" and Jay-Z's "Sunshine."

#11

"FUNK YOU UP" - THE SEQUENCE

Hip-Hop's first female rap group came from South Carolina, and the Sequence dropped an early rap classic with this funky slice of perfection. Revisited by everyone from Dr. Dre to Bruno Mars. 

#10

"WHITE LINES (DON'T DO IT)" - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE

The song is ostensibly a warning against the dangers of cocaine, but it winds up sounding almost like a coke commercial! So the group added the "Don't do it!" addendum to make sure the message remains clear. 

#9

"HOW WE GONNA MAKE THE BLACK NATION RISE?" - BROTHER D WITH THE COLLECTIVE EFFORT

When they discuss the earliest forms of political Hip-Hop, this danceable anthem from 1980 has to be more recognized. One of the first topical rap songs that explicitly references Black Power, still an important record. 

#8

"FEEL THE HEARTBEAT" - TREACHEROUS THREE

It's one of the greatest rap records ever made. The Treacherous Three have no shortage of classic singles, but "...Heartbeat" is one of the most celebrated, sampled and revered songs in their catalog.

#7

"RENEGADES OF FUNK" - SOULSONIC FORCE

The Soulsonic Force didn't look to repeat the innovation of "Planet Rock." Instead, the pioneering crew of electro-rock producers pushed even further into the future with this kinetic piece of art. 

#6

"THAT'S THE JOINT" - FUNKY FOUR PLUS ONE

That groove is recreated by the Sugar Hill house band, as the crew of emcees out of the Bronx kick rhymes and keep the party going with one of Hip-Hop's most indelible early singles. 

#5

"THE BODY ROCK" - TREACHEROUS THREE

A high water mark for the record makers at Sugar Hill. That groove is so slick and the beat is one of Hip-Hop's all-time best; sampled by everyone from Mariah Carey to Fat Joe. 

#4

"RAPPER'S DELIGHT" - THE SUGAR HILL GANG

The song that got rap music on the radio and got Hip-Hop into mainstream American culture. Master Gee, Wonder Mike and the late Big Bank Hank launched themselves into the echelons of history with this Grandmaster Caz-penned hit that started it all. 

#3

"PLANET ROCK" - AFRIKA BAMBAATAA & SOULSONIC FORCE

Electro was arguably rap music's first true subgenre, and the Soulsonic Force was the first act to take it to the major charts. A breakbeat staple that still sounds like the future.

#2

"THE BREAKS" - KURTIS BLOW

The Orange Krush provided the slinky groove, and Kurtis Blow's bombastic rap sits front-and-center on this classic from 1980. Kurtis Blow became Hip-Hop's first major crossover superstar after becoming the first rapper to land a major deal. He dropped this monster single, and kickstarted a career that would make him one of the genre's most beloved icons.

#1

"THE MESSAGE" - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE

If Hip-Hop has a "Johnny B. Goode," then surely it must be this standout single from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. Written by Melle Mel and Sugar Hill producer Duke Bootee, the 1982 classic has become a rap standard, with a refrain ("It's like a jungle sometimes...") that summed up Hip-Hop's inherent truths without trying too hard. And a beat that's been revisited by everyone from Ice Cube to Puff Daddy.

Hey Foxy! Longtime follower since your anon posts on Bel’s page. I couldn’t find it on your AI master lists so I’m sorry if you already made it, but could you make a Robert Baratheon AI chat, preferably Robert’s Rebellion era?

I actually hadn’t but now Bobby B has been added love!

Also, I’ve seen different fancasts for young Robert and honestly Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill or Clive Standen would be my picks

Vita and Virginia es un drama dirigido por Chanya Button, en el que cuentan la relación entre estas dos escritoras. Virginia Wolf (Elizabeth Debicki) conoce a la también escritora Vita Sackville-West (Gemma Arterton) en Londres en la década de 1920. A pesar de que ambas están casadas, entre ellas nace una pasión que la moral de la época prohíbe; ellas la viven en conocimiento de sus respectivos esposos con los que tenían un vínculo sincero. Vita inspirará una de los libros más conocidos de Wolf, Orlando.

Fue el cuñado de Virginia Woolf, Clive Bell, quien la avisó de que una aristócrata famosa en todo Londres por sus aventuras homosexuales, Vita Sackville-West escritora que había puesto los ojos en Virginia desde la lectura de sus libros. Virginia escucha una emisión radial en la que Vita habla sobre el matrimonio. ¨La independencia no tiene sexo¨, dice Vita, ante una Virginia de escucha atenta. Quería conocerla, para lo cual se organizó una cena. La madre de Vita intuyendo lo que podía surgir de ese encuentro le pide que no vaya a la reunión en casa de los Woolf.

“Vita es una lesbiana declarada, ten cuidado”, le dijo Clive, a lo que Virginia respondió: “Pues con lo esnob que soy, no sabré resistirme”. Pese a los displicentes comentarios iniciales de la novelista, parece que el encuentro surtió el efecto deseado por Vita: despertar el interés, primero, y el deseo luego de la gran Virginia Woolf.

A partir de ese intercambio epistolar, la periodista y escritora Pilar Bellver creó la novela, A Virginia le gustaba Vita, publicada por la editorial Dos Bigotes. Novela que fue base para el guión de esta película, escrito por Eileen Atkins y Chanya Botton.

¨LOS CELOS DEBEN SER DESTERRADOS COMO UN MANUSCRITO INSERVIBLE¨

Virginia Woolf no tenía problema alguno en plantearse una relación homosexual. Se había criado en un ambiente de absoluta libertad, a su alrededor eran comunes tanto las relaciones extramatrimoniales como las relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo -a pesar de la rígida moral victoriana que parecía imperar, el grupo de Bloomsbury en el que reinaban ella y su hermana Vanessa; era muy libre con respecto al sexo. A pesar de esto, Virginia era una mujer incapaz de sentir deseo sexual por su marido, Leonard Woolf, con quien por lo demás formaba un matrimonio de muy buenos compañeros, una comunión intelectual.

En cuanto a Vita, su conducta era promiscua, y estaba igualmente casada. Su esposo, Harold Nicolson, era abiertamente homosexual y aceptaba de buen grado las andanzas de ella a pesar de que le pedía evitar los escándalos. No todo el mundo era igual de tolerante. El marido de una de sus amantes, el poeta sudafricano Roy Campbell, persiguió a Vita por medio Londres con una pistola cuando se enteró de la infidelidad de su esposa con Vita.

  Como señala Pilar Bellver en el libro, había sintonía y complicidad no sólo en el seno de ambas parejas sino también entre los matrimonios mismos, que mantuvieron su amistad hasta el final. “No había celos entre los Woolf y los Nicolson, pues habían llegado, independientemente, a la misma definición de confianza”. Quizá Leonard fuera el menos contento con la situación, pero no por miedo a que Virginia se alejara de él sino a que las emociones en juego “pudieran volver a perturbarle la mente”. La escritora padecía depresiones (trastorno bipolar según el diagnóstico de hoy) desde los 13 años, cuando murió su madre, y -como es sabido- acabaría suicidándose en el río Ouse.

Vita y ella, a pesar de llevarse diez años de diferencia, -tenían 33 y 43 cuando se conocieron- inician una relación de alta intensidad. Todo queda registrado en los diarios de ambas, y la gran cantidad de correspondencia que mantuvieron.

EQUILIBRIO Y LIBERTAD

A Vita -que por cierto goza de mucho mayor éxito en ventas- a pesar de que admiraba a Virginia le molesta que esta parecía no entregarse por completo, como si su naturaleza de narradora le hiciera estar siempre, tomando nota de lo vivido. ¨Lo que tienes de mi es todo lo que puedo dar¨, le dice Virginia. Por otra parte, la autora de Una habitación propia no puede digerir bien los constantes amoríos de su amante.

De camino a Teherán, donde su marido es encargado de negocios de la embajada inglesa, Vita siente tal deseo de estar con Virginia que fantasea con raptarla. A su vuelta de Persia, afloran sin embargo los primeros indicios de alejamiento entre la pareja. A pesar de todo, las amantes se las arreglan para, pasado lo más bullente del amor, construir lo que Vita define como “una amistad respetable, cierta, durable, casta y tibia”. Algo menos intenso pero más duradero que aquellos primeros encuentros ardientes en la gran mansión de Vita, Knole, tan grande que nadie podía precisar cuántas habitaciones tenía. La inmensa hacienda de los Sackville-West, que sigue siendo una de las cinco mayores de Inglaterra -más grande que Buckingham Palace, por ejemplo-, desempeña un papel importante en la historia.

Después de haber escrito La señora Dalloway y Al faro, Virginia Woolf pide permiso a Vita, que se halla en plena vorágine de traiciones, para escribir sobre ella, y Vita acepta. El resultado es otra obra increíble, Orlando, que trata sobre un personaje que vive cinco siglos, primero como hombre y luego como mujer.

Una película lesbica, con filosofía íntima, que nos permite ver un poco el mundo de la genial Virgina Woof, y su vínculo con Vita, tan importante para su vida teniendo en cuenta los libros que Virginia escribió en ese período.

Es de destacar también, un bello instante del film en que las dos parejas van juntas a ver el eclipse. Previamente Virginia y el esposo de Vita, mantienen una conversación trascedentalmente sincera. Recomendada.

Madre e figlio

Nel 1992 è uscito un horror intitolato I sonnambuli. I provini mi avevano incuriosito. Perché il titolo originale è Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. All'epoca adoravo il Re: non aveva ancora cominciato a scrivere cagate. E io avevo letto quasi tutto quello che aveva pubblicato fino a quel momento. Sleepwalkers mi mancava. Però sembrava non essercene traccia. Solo dopo molti anni ho saputo che si trattava di un romanzo rimasto inedito. In ogni caso, la sceneggiatura era - ed è - di Stephen King. Per cui era necessario che io dovessi assolutamente vedere quel film. Lo trasmisero su Italia Uno e io lo vidi a pezzi e bocconi, come si dice. Vi si parla di una madre e di un figlio, Mary e Charles. Legati l'una all'altro come due consanguinei non dovrebbero esserlo. In realtà non sono umani. Appartengono a una razza di vampiri mutanti. Il loro punto debole sono i gatti, animali che possono addirittura ucciderli. Ora, Charles conosce la bella e dolce Tanya. Il suo scopo è circuirla per cibarsene insieme alla madre. E mi fermo qui, in caso qualcuno volesse dargli un'occhiata. La cosa strana è che sembra essere scomparso dagli schermi televisivi. E poi non se ne parla mai. Non sarà un capolavoro, però è gradevole. La regia è a metà fra la caricatura e il dramma. L'ambientazione è ibrida (non saprei come definirla altrimenti), sospesa fra più epoche storiche. Madre e figlio vivono infatti come in un altro tempo. Mentre la cadenza narrativa è assai veloce. La situazione precipita infatti a gran velocità, una volta che la vicenda è decollata. Come spesso accade, vorrei concentrarmi sugli interpreti. A parte il conociutissimo Ron Perlman, intendo sottolineare innanzitutto che il protagonista maschile è Brian Krause, che alcuni anni dopo sarebbe diventato l'angelo Leo della serie tv Streghe (quella con Alyssa Milano e la Shannon Doherty di Beverly Hills 90210). Gli fanno compagnia, per così dire, una serie di attori d'eccezione: si parte con Mark Hamill (il Luke Skywalker di Guerre Stellari), si prosegue con i registi John Landis, Joe Dante e Tobe Hooper, per finire con gli scrittori Clive Barker e Stephen King. Spero d'avervi incuriosito. Sarebbe un bel risultato, per me.

CLOSER-Mike Nichols (2004) 

   Quando cerco un nuovo film da vedere vado sempre a rifugiarmi in titoli e storie che rispecchino lo stato d’animo del momento. È il mio umore che preme play e l’empatia verso una faccia a non dire stop trascorsi 2 minuti. Con Closer  succede che l’assenza di dialoghi dei primi minuti viene sovrastata da un silenzio umano che grida così forte da rendere impossibile decidere di non andare a fondo.

Le note di Damian Rice vi daranno il benvenuto in questo quartetto stellare, che traslato nella vita reale potrebbe essere una squadra di calcio ma per ovvie questioni di budget è ridimensionato all’essenziale. Quello che basta per definire le differenti dinamiche psicologiche che guidano l’approccio all’amore e il modo di viverlo. Le stesse note vi accompagneranno all’uscita, giusto per ricordarvi come è cominciato questo viaggio, riavvolgere il nastro e attenuare il senso di smarrimento che pervade dopo i 104 minuti.  

Tutti gli esseri umani che abbiano avuto una storia d’amore degna di essere chiamata tale guardando questo film, in un momento o nell’altro, penseranno ‘cazzo, ma questa è la storia della mia vita’. Io sono stata Alys in tutto e quasi per tutto. Ma tanto non importa in chi vi identifichiate, sono cazzi amari per tutti.

Per una strana coincidenza di destino o semplicemente per i recenti acquisti di Netflix, ho visto questo film esattamente a 15 anni dall’uscita. Quando sbancava al botteghino era il dicembre del 2004 e io avevo 10 anni.  Era tutto estremamente bello per me eppure Mike Nicholson,  decidendo di cambiare il finale dell’opera teatrale di Marber a cui si è ispirato, mi stava già preparando un bel film per sentirmi meno sola, oggi.  

Personaggio preferito Clive Owen,non chiedetemi perché.

GEMINI MAN REVIEW

“Closer to a tech demo rather than an actual movie.”

BY COLLIN DELADE

The premise behind Will Smith’s latest action thriller, GEMINI MAN, has the potential of being wildly creative and fun. Smith’s extensive career has caused him to develop as an actor from his FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR days. Going from a comedic actor and rapper to a more prestigious and mature performer could have been represented perfectly between the two characters of Henry Brogan and Junior. Unfortunately, director Ang Lee was clearly more focused on the technology behind the film rather than the actual story. 

After years as a hired hitman, Henry is ready to hang up his sniper and live the rest of his life out in peaceful retirement. The higher up who Henry once worked for, have a different plan for him. Henry’s skills are too good to be let go, though. Therefore, the sinister Clay Verris (Clive Owen) clones a younger version to hunt Henry down and continue his deadly work. As exciting as this premise may sound, the execution is as generic and one-note as action thrillers get.

The biggest draw of GEMINI MAN is its remarkable de-aging effects on Will Smith’s Junior and its attempt to bring High Frame Rate to the mainstream. While both technologies are impressive at specific points, the overall use of them feels unnecessary for this type of film. GEMINI MAN is neither a serious thriller or a fast-paced action flick that can benefit from either the de-aging effect or the High Frame Rate. During the more dialog heavy slower moments, the de-aging looks excellent, but the High Frame Rate is wasteful. When the action kicks in, the High Frame Rate boosts the details, but the de-aging looks obviously fake. There’s not a single moment when both technologies work at the same time. 

No matter if the technology behind GEMINI MAN is impressive at times, it ends up feeling like a complete waste due to the uninteresting storyline and characters. The three leads, Will Smith, Clive Owen, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, are trying so hard to make their one-note character the least bit interesting. No actor could bring anything to this copy and paste action-script. At the end of its run, when GEMINI MAN gets judged as a film and not a tech demo, it is just a generic action thriller plot.

The only redeeming qualities of the film is its action and performances from Smith and Winstead. While it takes a while to get going, the action does keep your interest throughout the film’s two-hour runtime. There’s not quite enough of it to boost the film up from mediocrity, but it does save it from being utterly unwatchable. Along with the action is the expected charm from Smith and a likable performance from Winstead. Both actors clearly are putting effort into where the writing is lacking. I would say Smith and Winstead were great if they were in a better movie. 

GEMINI MAN is not a dreadful or painful viewing experience to sit through. Instead, its sole purpose is to be a tech demo on this technology that will eventually be used in better films. Even when viewing it like that, I still can’t recommend anyone to go out and see it. Nothing about GEMINI MAN is an embarrassment or an insult, but more of an example of the result of relying too heavily on effects to carry an otherwise forgettable movie. 

5/10
