New Supercut: Cinema’s Greatest Mirror Pep Talks

Early this morning, I was awoken by three consecutive wall thumps coming from my crawl space, which, as you all know, is the signal from our video editor, Oliver Noble, that he’s completed a new supercut. After I let him out, we watched it, and it was pretty good, so I rewarded him with a few minutes with his gimp mask unzipped and gave him some bactine for his welts.

This is actually our second crowd-sourced supercut, where Oliver provided the topic and you the FilmDrunk reader gave scene suggestions. The result is Cinema’s Greatest Mirror Pep Talk. In a way, it’s kind of like a cross between 40 Inspirational Movie Speeches in Two Minutes and Rich from FourFour’s Mirror Scare Supercut. So basically, we’re doing mash-ups of mash-ups now. Also, we took the liberty of blurring out Mark Wahlberg’s penis in Boogie Nights, which, to my knowledge, is cinema’s only example of a character giving his penis a pep talk in the mirror. I know it’s a prosthetic (which is what I assume every time I see an above-average sized penis now, thanks for that, Boogie Nights), but do you notice that the penis actually hangs below his fingertips? The guy’s got arms like a t-rex. He looks like he needs an assistant to adjust his own collar.
