Swedish director Ruben Ostlund won Palme d'Or for this "slapstick tragedy about the fragility of everything we call human".

Supervillains Who DESTROYED Daredevil Screen Rant. Daredevil has been around for a long time, and like many superheroes with such longevity, he has amassed a great many foes and taken part in hundreds of battles. Regardless of his decades of experience, it’s never easy being on the receiving end of evil. Besides all the blunt force trauma involved, the impaired relationships, and having to be constantly on alert for an attack, one’s personal life can also be cruelly impacted. For Daredevil, there are a handful of supervillains who went above and beyond in absolutely destroying his life, be it as the costumed crusader, or in his personal and professional life as Matt Murdock. Meet some of DD’s biggest personal jerks, who stopped at nothing to crush all that is good in his world.

We'd all like to believe our favorite characters were birthed into the universe full-formed and lovable, but that's simply not the case. In fact, a distressing number. · Watch recent full episode of MTV shows on MTV.com. Need help identifying a movie that you just can't remember the name of? Here's the place to ask. As always, Google first, but if you have no luck searching on y. Part of you will wish this had been a Netflix show instead of a Netflix movie — part of you will wish Netflix had left it alone altogether.

We’ve all seen plenty of heartbreaking images from Texas this weekend, as vicious floods continue to destroy lives and property in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. But. On a whole, the movie was very good, albeit with the same third act problem a lot of these movies have. “This stuff is all good, but we need the climax to be like. Showtime says there are no plans to continue Twin Peaks beyond the current season, but executives say the door is open to David Lynch.

Some will be familiar, but be prepared for more than one surprise player in Daredevil’s many downfall dramas. Here are 1. 5 Supervillains Who Absolutely DESTROYED Daredevil. THE OWLEstablished as one of Daredevil’s chief nemeses early on in the comic’s publication history (his first appearance is in issue #3 back in 1. The Owl is a crime boss, a genius mastermind, and a ruthless foe. Over the years, he clashed with ol’ horn- head repeatedly, thwarted from schemes as bold as robbing the US treasury in San Francisco to looting New York City during a blackout. After years of such humiliations, The Owl gets some serious revenge by taunting the now- exposed Matt Murdock after his best pal gets murdered (which it turns out, he didn’t).

This happened in the middle of an even bigger plan to drive Murdock insane, and The Owl played his part perfectly, helping push DD over the edge. MYSTERIOThis classic. Spider- Man villain came back in the 1. Daredevil story, penned by none other than film director and uber- geek Kevin Smith, to really mess up our horn- headed hero’s life.

The storyline starts off weirdly when DD is presented with a child to protect who may be humanity’s savior or its doom. Secretly drugging the blind slugger, Mysterio manipulates events meant to drive Daredevil insane. Among the worst, he convinces DD’s dear friend (and ex) Karen Page that she is terminally ill with AIDS, has her killed by the master assassin Bullseye, and frames partner Foggy Nelson for murder. Not only that, but for a while, Matt Murdock was convinced he was being subjected to the torments of Hell (the real one, not a figure of speech!). That was the drug’s effects of course, and as usual, DD wins in the end.

But not before getting his life seriously trashed! GLADIATORLet’s all take a moment to say that, as supervillains go, Melvin Potter really is a hard luck case.

A Google engineer was fired yesterday after he wrote a memo arguing that women are biologically less suited for software engineering jobs compared to men and that.

Yes, he initially sets out to live a life of crime, but he ends up being not too bright and more than a little insane. After several defeats at Daredevil’s hands, The Gladiator becomes DD’s biggest fan and pledges to be a hero. This leads to take the reformed bad guy under his wing. Matt Murdock really does try to give this sap a second chance – but be it due to madness or a lack of character, Melvin keeps screwing up, leaving DD to repeatedly fight him, defeat him, bail him out, help him, and repeat, ad nauseum.

We all have that one person in our lives who are pretty much a psychic leech, but we just can’t quit them. That’s who Gladiator is to Daredevil, and it isn’t making his life any easier.

THE PURPLE MANAnother early entry in Daredevil’s rogue’s gallery (fist appearing in issue #4, directly following The Owl), The Purple Man has the power of mind control, and boy does he use it. All Of Us Season 2 Episode 1 here. Fans of the Netflix series Jessica Joneswho know him better as Kilgrave will get what we mean.

His ability to get people to follow his commands is put to terrible and degrading use to feed not only his criminal enterprise, but his own fragile ego as well. One long story arc has the Purple Man chasing DD down, going so far as to controlling other supervillains to go after him.

Fighting and losing to Daredevil over and over again, the Purple Man finally figures out Daredevil’s secret identity as Matt Murdock – just as our hero realizes that this violet villain has been messing with him for some time. BLACK WIDOWYes, yes, we all know that Black Widow is a superhero, nobody is trying to pull a fast one. But the fact of the matter is that Natasha Romanoff did indeed begin her career as a highly- trained agent for the Soviet Union, America’s greatest adversary. In the early days of the 1. Marvel Comics superhero boom, the Widow acted as a double agent, ensnaring the Avengers’ archer Hawkeye (who himself has a criminal past).

Eventually, of course, she does come around to the side of the angels. At one point, she becomes Daredevil’s lover, so much so that the title of the comic became Daredevil and Black Widow for issues 9. Yep, they were partners in crimefighting and under the covers!

But eventually, she leaves him, breaking his heart. Did it mess up his life? Hey, when do breakups not mess up somebody’s life? Natasha goes on to lead a new superhero team, The Champions, and starts dating the god Hercules, upgrading from mere mortals like Matt. Can you blame her? MR. FEARThere’s been more than one Daredevil foe taking on the mantle of Mr. Fear, a supervillain who uses a drug to make people’s worst nightmares come to life in their minds, seeming terrifyingly real.

One of those was Larry Cranston, an old school chum of Matt Murdock’s. Having previously gone mad fighting DD (and seemingly dying), Cranston finds out the blind battler’s secret identity and goes off on a particularly cruel revenge scheme. Not only does he raise an army of bad guys to try and take Daredevil out, but Mr.

Fear doses Matt’s wife so bad that she freaks out and kills an innocent man. Think about how something like that would play out in couple’s counselling! The trauma for a civilian caught in the middle of such a deadly game can be fierce. And witnessing the pain it causes DD’s loved one causes him no end of sorrow.

NUKEIf you know anything about Matt Murdock, you know that he has a deep connection to his beloved New York City neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen. And in the famous Born Again saga, that’s exactly what the supervillain Nuke goes after. A deeply disturbed super- soldier with a history of mental illness and abuse, it’s hard to say the man also known as Frank Simpson is to blame for the violence he causes. Turned into a cyborg and constantly force- fed super- amphetamine drugs until he gains a dependence, Nuke’s always been used as pawn by everybody from the military to The Kingpin.

Still, DD “seeing” his special corner of the city partially leveled is akin to coming home to see a huge part of your house smashed to bits. ELEKTRABefore Black Widow, before Karen Page, before Daredevil even became a superhero, there was his one true love, his college crush and veritable soulmate, Elektra Natchios. The murder of her father ruined her mind and drove her away from her boyfriend and future crimefighter, Matt Murdock. Bad enough to love and lose, right? When Elektra comes back into DD’s life again, it’s as a professional hit- woman, pitting the two against each other on opposite sides of the law. And yet that old itch never went away, the relationship got complicated and Elektra died (more on that later).

Daredevil tried to resurrect her and failed, only to have his colleague Stone finish the job. Back among the living, one can only imagine how DD’s feelings must have swung from one place to another. Eventually, Elektra goes from villainy to heroism, but by then, the damage has been done. More than once. 7. THE HANDThe Hand is a league of ninja assassins originating in a demonic death cult ruled by an entity called The Beast.

In between running crime syndicates to finance their greater goal of world destruction, these awful, awful people relentlessly hunt Daredevil down in packs. They have played crucial rolls in hurting people he loves – including Elektra, Black Widow and Stick – but perhaps worst of all, they eventually make him their leader!

What Was the Name of That Movie? Part 1 - Discussion. O. P. Need help identifying a movie that you just can't remember the name of?

Here's the place to ask. As always, Google first, but if you have no luck searching on your own, some of the WP movie buffs may be able to help out. BUT here's what i can remember - -- -probably during the 2nd half or late 8. Messiah- like storyand the most important of all was the movie title – it was an ANAGRAM.. NOT really an English word BUt once you arranged the letters or reversed it – it becomes a normal English word or words or something that we know of.. JUST could NOT remember the title..

Don't know if anyone can help here, but I was up late one night earlier this week in Townsville (not sure which night actually) and was watching this cheesy old B movie about a dentist who fakes his own death and takes his dead twin's identity.. CIA agent. I know what you're thinking.."Sounds Super!"lol Anyway, at the ad breaks it was advertising the film as 'Consequences', but I have not been able to find it anywhere. I'm trying to find the name of the lead actor. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!!!! God I love Whirlpool and Whirlpoolians! Cheers. Benjamin Button writes..# probably during the 2nd half or late 8.

Messiah- like story. This is all I could find in reference to your request. Made in 1. 98. 8, and the storyline follows the above, except the title isn't an anagram."Adapted from an Appalachian Jack Tale set in the late 1. World War II veteran named Jack who, in return for an act of kindness, receives two magical gifts: a sack that can catch anything and a jar that can show whether a sick person will recover or die. Jack becomes a national hero when he rescues the president's daughter from a serious illness by capturing Death in his magic sack. However, after many years without Death in the world, Jack realizes that he has upset the natural order and releases Death to save humankind from perpetual old age and misery."recall.

Jedi. Knight writes.. This is all I could find in reference to your request. BUT that is NOT the one.. HOWEVER i raised this issue with some drinking buddies early this month.. Emanon (1. 98. 7).. NONAME if reversed.! I've got one that I'd love to know what it is.

The main plot of the story is that terrorists hijack a plane. I can't remember all the details, however some of the main features are: 1.

That a stealth plane docks onto the underside of the hijacked jet. People then unload from the stealth plane and board the hijacked aircraft. Their objective is to then disable a bomb that is on the plane. They find the bomb, but the first one is a fake, the real one is further in and protected by red lasers. In one scene before the us Air force is about to destroy the hijacked plane, one of the pilots notices that the tail lights are flashing in Morse code, they then decide not to blow the plane up, and give it more time.

I think it then goes on to them landing the hijacked plane at an airport, but the two pilots are dead, so the main character must then land the plane. He then spies an airstrip that he is familiar with, so he aims for that. As he lands he wipes out about 5.

In the end everyone jumps out of the plane and all is swell again. Can anyone please tell me the name of this film? It's been on TV a couple of times, but many years ago. Thanks in advanced. Matt. Nikolai Luzhin writes.. Executive Decision (1.

Yes That's It!!!! Thank you so much, I must go and buy this movie, it's fantastic.

Thanks for the real quick reply, I was thinking that it would take a while. Matt. Posted from another thread: I saw it on SBS a while ago, sometime last year probably. From what I remember, it was in French. A French girl (early 2. Japan. She struggled with the language, to come to terms with Japanese customs and working conditions, and ended up doing strange things like sleeping in the office.

She had poor relationships with her bosses except the CEO, who seemed to 'accept' her. It was a brilliant movie. A really simple plot but very moving and acting was great from what I remember. Sorry for such a vague description, I'd love to watch it again but no idea what it was called. Jotunheim writes.. It was a brilliant movie. A really simple plot but very movinghmmm..

Stupeur et tremblements (2. English title of Fear and Trembling.. BUT the girl in the story is Belgian though..

French actress..: )That's the one, many thanks : )Hi,This one is probably a bit more difficult. I have seen this on German TV in the end 7. Story is about a woman having an car accident in bad weather where she dies – the story continues with her being in a twilight reality where she lives on. Similar to Beetlejuce /The 6th Sense/ The Others.

I believed this movie was directed by the french film maker Claude Cabrol. I searched his movies but unable to find it. Anyone know this movie? Tonight. We. Dine. In. Hell writes.. Alice Ou La Dernière Fugue (1. Wow.. yes that's the one..

Ok here's one for you to figure out. I saw it on TV in the 1. I remember people digging and they either found aliens in the ground, or were having hallucination about them.. I remember one scene where you see all of these sort of big grasshopper things all hopping along on their hind legs.. Really freaked me out as a child.

Any thoughts on that one???? Miss. Muffitt writes.. BEFORE i go on a wild goose chase..

HOW do you qualify those "aliens".. ETs.. or just look- alike as perceived by a child then.. HOW significant are the grasshoppers in the movie as a plot device.? BE MORE than that.. NOT a TV show episode.!: )Tonight.

We. Dine. In. Hell writes.. BEFORE i go on a wild goose chase.. HOW do you qualify those "aliens"..

ETs.. or just look- alike as perceived by a child then.. HOW significant is the grasshopper in the movie as a plot device.? BE MORE than that.. Watch Suspect Zero Torent Free. I think it might have been in England and they were digging a tunnel and found a "Space ship" buried there. I remember dream sequences of the alien "Grasshoppers" hundreds of them hopping along, might have been a war. It's a very long time since I saw it, racking the old brain for memories!! I think that the people who found the ship sort of got mental picture of this "War"Edit: as for the size of the "Alien grasshoppers" I would say about 4 or 5 feet tall.

Miss. Muffitt writes.. England and they were digging a tunnel and found a "Space ship" buried therehmmmm.. Brit horror movie about some interplanetary archaeologists..

BUT was released in early 8. Nope sorry not the right one. But I might have to find that movie and have a watch : -)I would think I was about 1. So if it was on TV it might have been made in the late 6. BUt then there is another Brit film called - -- where some construction workers unearth some sort of an alien spacecraft beneath London.. Refractor writes..

Quartermass and the Pit?: D : D : Dyou are still awake TONIGHT.! BUT it's ALL good. Apologies to the OP for OFF- Topics..! O. P. Tonight. We. Dine. In. Hell writes.. TONIGHT.! Yep, gotta be wide awake to beat you to the mark with an obscure movie.

Refractor writes.. Quartermass and the Pit? That sure looks like it..

Now I have to try to find it and watch it again : -) see if it's still scary. Refractor writes.. NEXT time..: D : D : DMiss. Muffitt writes.. watch it again : ) see if it's still scary.

I used to sneak out after mum and dad had gone to bed and watch these on the old TV sitting about 2 feet from the screen with the sound down low..

LOLAlso loved "Night stalker" with Darren Mcgavin. What's the name of this Indian drama movie?

It was released recently (1- 3 years ago), featuring interconnecting relationshipsamong urban young professionals set in modern Mumbai. It's a "serious" movie and doesn't include any Bollywood- type dancing and music. What's the name of that movie with Ants? A long time ago (probably 3. I saw a movie on TV that involved ants.
