Is that the one where Ashton Kutcher strangles himself in the womb?

Based on the line above this film sounds amazing.

 

I saw Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus the other day. Retarded story, atrocious acting, abysmal accents, appalling sets, ludicrous script and yet ultimately great fun. The dreamy Lorenzo Lamas certainly played a huge part in my enjoyment however the true star of the film was the (apparently) Irish voyeur. Watch with friends only.

Back to the Future 1 & 2. Both ones I've unintentionally avoided all my life, and now finally seen. 1 was okay, 2 was just bearable but I'm absolutely dreading 3

Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!

It was gratuitous and unnecessary but it was obviously meant to be humourous instead of eye candy and it made laugh every time random naked chicks appeared on screen. Utterly pointless but fantistically hilarious at the same time. I think the disclaimer at the start pretty much sets the tone for that. The fact it was always the same man junk regardless of who it was supposed to belong to was at least slightly amusing.

Good point about the disclaimer and I did give the film the benefit of the doubt in that respect but I think what I found most annoying was just how distracting it all was. When normal scenes were interrupted by fine floozys flaunting their poon I completely lost track of what else was happening. Probably would have been more amusing had I seen the original cut first. Man-junk in the cornfield was pretty funny though.

 

 

My friend cannot watch Ghostbusters 2. Every time he has tried, he has received devastatingly bad news before the end.

Not the worst thing to have happen - the ending is easily the weakest part. Still very intriguing though, what was the severity of the news like? As in, is it a humorous thing s/he mentions in passing or is it a case of "Never speak of that film"?

 

I am nosey.

Superhero Movie - Not as dreadful as I expected and it actually made me laugh a few times, although I'm in no hurry to watch it again.

I have to agree with you.

Yeh, Superhero Movie is a surprisingly decent film. It's not great or anything, but it's good throwaway fun. Plus, Leslie Nielsen's in it and that man's like a God to me.

I'm disappointed in you all. Leslie Nielson was great for about 15 seconds but other than that the film was dreadful. Really, really, really dreadful.

 

We had the extended and unrated version of Sex Drive which is just hilarious for the amount of pointless stuff it adds in but I suspect that may detract from the film for some people.

I got a copy of that unrated edition recently. Really ruins what should be a routinely amusing film. Obviously I wasn't thrilled with the amount of man junk on display but I was also surprised to find I was pretty annoyed with the gratuitous female flesh they shoehorned in. Probably the first time I've ever been annoyed to see nude poon on film.

 

In other news I saw Ghostbusters 2 again the other day - so much funnier than I remembered. Also saw the Da Vinci Code. I don't want to talk about it.

Raskolnikov > all of you.

 

Currently reading "For Esme - with Love and Squalor: and other stories", a collection of short stories by J.D. Salinger. Very amusing in parts, surreal in others, natural throughout. Yet to reach the title piece but if it's comparable to the quality of the shorter stories it should be a doozy.

There's also this huge time jump where Bruce is suddenly able to walk and has been training and such. If they're gonna sell Knightsend as Knightfall Part 3 they should at least add in some of what happened since part two.

I bought these three books forever ago and in the copy I have of number 2 they reference "Knightsquest" in which Brucie the Crip rolls around the globe chasing after Robin's dad (who was nabbed by some fellows in one of the books). Apparently at some point on this journey he of course regains the ability to walk and begins his rehabilitation leading into Knightsend. Which is, as you state, cack. I'm assuming they just never got round to releasing the Quest in trade paperback.

 

Comics I've read lately - a whole dose of JLA books from 2006-2007. All of them were shockingly bad (Kid Amazo?!? WTF was that shit?!?). Thankfully I exclusively get my comics fix from the library these days so no real harm done. Some DC book about the Guardians/manhunters called Millennium which led to the introduction of some seriously shit new heroes (Gloss, Ram and some other losers). Avoid this like the plague. Nothing else comes to mind at the minute. It's been a bad time for me and comics lately.

 

Miamivenis bringing the enthusiasm.

The PromotionSeann William Scott and John C. McGinley in a gentle comedy tale of two men going for a promotion at a supermarket. Just nice and gentle and peaceful for a Sunday night when you can't be bothered with anything more before work.

I watched this a couple of nights ago and thought, bar one scene (paper bag), it was abysmal. For a comedy I found it had an exceptionally small number of jokes. I'm assuming the audience was supposed to be amused by the rivalry between Stiffler and Ferrel-Lite however... there wasn't really any rivalry. At points the two seemed like good friends and the extent of their struggle appeared to be minor actions or words that, at worst, would put the other in a mildly awkward situation.The supporting characters were as routine as possible - the mouthy gang in the parking lot, the "wacky" banjo-playing fag next door, the down-trodden manager (the fire walk fall was too embarrassing), the bland straight wives (with added appalling Scottish accent), the smarmy board members.. it was all too predictable. On top of this Stiffler's acting was at points beyond horrible which only added to the overall effect of turd.My main gripe however was the basic lack of story. So little happened! The small incidents that did occur were played in such an understated fashion by the cast that it was nigh on impossible to gain an interest. Combine that with the overall lack of laughs and the utter non-ending (it was like they ran out of money and wrapped it up in a day) and The Promotion quickly establishes itself as one of the most boring movies I think I've ever seen. And what the fuck was up with the foreign slapping tit? That just bugged the hell out of me. Fuck this movie.On an equally downbeat note I watched Superhero Movie last night. It really was a bad cinematic weekend in my house. Though Leslie Nielson still made me chuckle a couple of times so there was a small, 90 second consolation.P.S. - not aiming this at you FM, I just really disliked this stinking flick.

Batman killing people. Batman slapping Robin around for no reason. These are things that absouletly everyone knows are just not right for the character. "I'm the goddamn Batman!" is terrible dialogue. Jim Lee can't draw feet. Shit book.

Think about who and what Batman is. A child is so traumatised by the death of his parents he dedicates his life to becoming the ultimate fighting machine in order to rid his city of the crime plague that infests it while dressed in a batsuit. It's not too ridiculous to imagine this person is a little unhinged. Certainly Miller's depiction differs from the accepted and standard portrayal of Batman but what's wrong with that? The All Star series is set in it's own universe and seperate from ongoing DC continuity. View it in an elseworlds sense if that makes it a little easier to digest. Personally I find it quite fun. Not amazing, but certainly entertaining.BTW, the book Hage was referring to is Gotham Central, a great little series of tales following the Gotham Police around with only limited involvement from Bats.

Maybe the wall was so re-enforced (like Fort Knox, or something) that, when the plane crashed into it, it just compressed itself into nothing.

Now now, there's no need for facts in this thread.

That's not a fact - the plane penetrated the building.

Harvey, the 1950 version starring James Stewart. Utterly adorable in all the right ways. Some hammy acting here and there from the supporting cast but Stewart provides a performance of subtlety and grace that carries the picture with ease. The world would be a better place if more people had Harvey for a friend.

 

"Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it."

I spend my life saying "Stephen, with a PH" what's the problem?

Your life sounds quite dull.

In the name of the King was released in 2007 and is a true undiscovered gem. I'm not his biggest fan by any means but I have to say Jason Statham is simply immense in the main role and is ably supported by Burt Reynolds and Ray Liotta. If you watch one film this year, make it In the Name of the King.

The awesome first episode of Yacht Rock - What a Fool Believes

Yacht Rock is one of the greatest things on Youtube. Thanks for reminding me.

I really want a baby i just need to find a girl who wants one aswell.

I find the combination of this quote and Ralph Wiggum in your avatar to be quite terrifying. No offence like. Maybe a little.

"Shark Attack" is a particularly good one. It has Ernie Hudson and that Van Dien bloke. Worth a pound of anybodies money.

This is terrible advice. That's one of the worst films ever made and not in a "so bad it's good" way either. Avoid at all costs unless you have a boner for Casper "Rico" Van Dien like Baz.My limited recent viewing has included the following, highlight below for spoilerific thoughts:Super High Me - Pretty shit. Weed addict gives up for 30 days and annoys the viewer by stating everything he's doing would be better if he were high. Smokes all day for 30 days, annoys the viewer by stating how great everything is now he's high. The documentary is punctuated by clips of the central guy's stand-up - every joke ends in "I was high" or "It would be better if I was high". Doesn't make me want to smoke weed.The King of Kong - Amazingly brilliant. Billy Mitchell has shot into my top ten human beings of all time. An unashamedly geeky spectacular. Get involved. Plenty of interesting articles online also help to fill in the blanks and cast doubt on various scences such as the "diner disappearing act" and "Twin Galaxies snub".

You two cretins make sexual asides to women on a fucking messageboard. It's creepy and disturbing, and if you can't see that, then I can't be bothered trying to explain it any further.

I wub oo

For not highlighting and/or commenting on your repeated sexual asides?

Your both wrong.

No they're not. The have a different opinion to you, that's all.

MAT - I think this forum might be a little more appropriate for your pregnancy queries.

I've heard that "Im gonna git you sucker" is a bit of a frontrunner for this genre, and is actually quite good even though it spawned a whole lot of shit in a similar mould. I've not seen it myself.

I enjoyed it. Especially the throbbing toe.

I fucking love John Slade.

"Everyday, I see kids walking around, killing and stealing for gold chains. I see kids with medallions so big they can hardly stand up, all stooped over and shit, trying to carry that stuff. But, what's really awful, man, is you see a young brother with this cheap imitation electroplated gold crap around their necks. And, it breaks out in this funky green rash, with these bumps and shit; it just makes you wanna puke."

As much as I like Edge he really does have the worst physique of any (non freakish as in Yokozuna) WWE Champion I have seen. He is billed as being 240 lbs. Edge is lucky if he is 200lbs. Very lucky.

I'm interested in why you claim this. Edge is billed as 6ft 5. Bearing in mind that's a WWE provided statistic we have to take it with a pinch of salt but I would say it's fair to surmise Edge is at least 6ft 2/3. He's in decent shape and clearly has some muscle on his frame. Certainly enough to outweigh my 6ft 3, not overly muscular, 196 pound frame. And for the poster claiming that Steamboat wasn't roided to the gills I think you need to go and take another look at the man in his prime. EDIT - See the pic Simania posted.

Crash Holly?

I'm looking forward to seeing how obscure Vito's choices become as the days go on.

 

Still, nice idea for a thread, have a little taste of http://rapidshare.com/files/22463668/gunther_-_ding_dong_song.mp3.html'>G

Just having a looking at my IMDB.com ratings, and heres the only films I've ever given 10 out of 10.Blue VelvetCitizen KaneCasinoA Clockwork OrangeDeadman's ShoesThe Godfather Pt 2HeatPulp Fiction

Casino is all kinds of awesome. Haven't seen the rest.

According to your website you've watched God knows how many fucking films in the past few years and you've only seen one of those listed above? Considering how big a part of your life movies are I would have thought you'd have more of an appreciation for decent film making.

A few observations:This thread is ridiculously boring. It's not even just because of EWWChris.Sprules man, stop replying. This thread is full of idiots and bandwagon jumpers that clearly aren't reading a word you're saying. I personally don't believe or disbelieve anything you say, because I don't really give a shit. I have an interest in the UK scene and don't want to see it fucked up but that's about it.However everything you say to contradict or disprove anyone gets ignored, so why bother? Like you say, the internet is a very small percent of the audience, and it's mostly a negative audience to have at your shows, so what does it matter?I understand you only want to defend yourself but fuck it, what have you gained here? You could have video evidence of you paying every wrestler, having a big lunch at a table with every "big player" in the uk scene and a short montage of every wrestler in the world shaking your hand and people would still repeat the same old bollocks.Like I say, I don't give a fuck about the things you say, you're obviously just a very deluded person but I can't say you're a bad person. I'd advise against trying to be a wrestling promoter, especially considering your reasons seem to be 'Well, you've got to give it a shot don't you' and little else. There's no money, there's no glory and there certainly isn't any fucking respect, so give yourself a break and fuck off.FINALLY: I'm thinking this could even be the most elaborate work/parody of all time simply because...

I had a finished draft when I wrote that. I then did what all good writers do - I put it to one side for a month and read it again with fresh eyes and hated it, so I started over. Surely it's better to do that then make a tit out of yourself by sending a crappy script to a professional company and getting put in their bad books.

How the FUCK can he have that ethos in film, but have the complete opposite ideas for Wrestling?

It's a real shame this post was ignored. What really baffles me is why so many people on here feel the need to repeat one another in their desperation to condemn Sprules.

I was about to cast my vote in favour of EWWChris in this topic when I had second thoughts upon reading his very measured reply to Hage. And I thought.....fair play and credit to the man - that's taking it on the chin. Good on you Chris!Then I reread the post he replied to and remembered exactly why he is my dolt of the year.
