Bullshit about Movies

[NSL]

Once, when I was super drunk. And I may have been on some E at the time. I don't remember much of it.

Then it's required that you give it a proper viewing. Definitely kind of sad that I hadn't heard of this movie until my girlfriend found it for $7 at her job...

 

[Mighty NorCal]

y'know, after watching it again, Connan The Barbarian is a pretty fuckin bitchin movie. Really though.

SOMEONE HAD BETTER AGREEE DAMMIT!!!! come on!!

 

[The Dewbliners]

I surely will.

Just finished Keystone Cops. I wonder which film Bert (my brother), has loaded on the disc next. Hopefully Harold Lloyd is involved.


Fuck me!!!! The fuckin' disc just decided to start skipping!!! I'll have to kick my brothers ass for not treating these things properly!

 

[jmt225]

SOMEONE HAD BETTER AGREEE DAMMIT!!!! come on!!

Yes, man. Great fucking movie. It's actually my mom's favorite of all time, so I was raised on it, along with pretty much anything starring Arnold. Love that man.

But unfortunately, Conan's name could get dragged through the dirt, as the remake is off to a horrible start with the choices as director and lead.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So then, Red Sonja too then, huh JMT?


Sonja is hot. Damn sexy.


and the bad villain lady has a BIG ASS fuckin spider for a pet, holy shit man.

Oh hell yeah. You know my entire life I went with thinking that Arnold's character in that film was Conan? Not 'til recently did I realize that he was playing someone completely different, lol. But yeah... loved that film growing up. The little Asian kid in that was beyond awesome. "Boy? Boy?"

Also, there's a remake being made for this as well, but it's going to be AWESOME. Robert Rodriguez is directing and Rose McGowan starring. Just look at these bad ass posters, if you can:

I'm sure I'll check out Funny People, but that's more for Adam Sandler than Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, or anyone else that decides they need a few lines for a payday.

Funny People was absolute shit, it's nearly 2 and a half hours of boring whiny crap, pretty much anything good in the movie you've already seen in the trailer, you'd think a movie called Funny People that stared guys like Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, etc. and was written a directed by the guy who did Pineapple Express, Superbad, & 40 yr. old virgin would be a little funny, it's not, it's not, more of a depressing boring POS tbh, if you really want to see this movie then wait for the DVD it's not worth the small fortune you'll end up paying to leave the theater disappointed after seeing it

Don't listen to Justin, he's a nihilist. Funny People isn't great, but it's certainly good and worth seeing. The first half is great, it's the second half that weighs it down a bit and slows the movie down. It's still worth seeing though.

 

[justinsayne]

yeah, the whole nihilist bullshit is getting really fucking old

I wasn't a big fan of Superbad, and haven't seen Pineapple Express. It took my friends practically begging me to watch Superbad. I was a fan of Knocked Up, and 40 Year Old Virgin, and then that was about it for me. Oh yea, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. You can only beat a cash cow so much, before it doesn't work anymore.

 

[justinsayne]

Idk, maybe it's just me but Seth Rogan just needs to take a fucking break, he a big enough star now that he doesn't need to constantly have a movie in theaters all the damn time

If you're going to say that about Rogen, you need to say it about the whole crew. Where one of them goes, the rest of them go. They're not bad, but they're shtick is tired already.

 

[X]

You guys are crazy. Would you rather have intelligent comedies like Superbad and Knocked Up, or 9000 new Adam Sandler/Rob Schneider comedies? The comedy movie was fucking DEAD before Apatow came around, all of his movies thus far have been great.

 

[Milkyway!]

To entertain you? You know, the same point of every motion picture?

Amazing film.

I didn't say it wasn't. I was just really confused at the end of it. I wondered if I missed something, I shouldn't have missed in the end.

I don't really seem to get as tired of seeing the rest of them though, prolly cause they're usually just playing supporting roles, but yeah I see your point, I think Jonah Hill literally has played the exact same character in ever fucking movie he has ever done

What do you think you missed? He dies. That's it. Sometimes the good guy doesn't win.

I liked Knocked Up, but Superbad was just more of the same to me. What I've realized, after multiple viewings of most of their movies, is that I'm more fan of the supporting cast. Paul Rudd is almost always gold, Leslie Mann is funny, and people like Catherine Keener, Steve Carell, Katherine Heigl, and Michael Cera are all hard to go wrong with.

As far as Sandler/Schneider, I liked their movies. Granted, The Animal wasn't exactly Oscar-worthy, but it was funny. Same with 50 First Dates, and most of the other movies they did. Happy Madison was the prelude to what was to come with Apatow.

Since we're on the subject of "movie cliques", what do you think of Broken Lizard, the people behind Super Troopers, Beerfest, and Club Dread?

I liked him in Evan Almighty, and he was pretty good in Accepted. Granted, both movies are pretty bad, but they made me laugh, and he was pretty good for what was asked.

I thought I missed something during Jones' final speech.

I agree Apatow's movies are great, Funny People was pretty much the only one so far that I haven't liked just found it to be long boring and depressing, I was expecting a movie that would make me laugh, that was the whole reason I went to see it in the first place to fucking laugh, don't get me wrong the movie had it's moments but they were just too few and far between, shortening the movie up somewhat prolly woulda helped a little, especially in the second half, just felt like a bunch of unnecessary crap

I liked Knocked Up, but Superbad was just more of the same to me.

How though? Name me one movie that's anything like Superbad. The only movie I can think of that it somewhat reminds me of is like a modern-day Dazed and Confused with the whole graduating motif. Superbad is a much more intelligent and unique film than people give it credit for, and it's much much more than just another gross-out comedy. It's got real, serious heart to it. There are very, very few films like it.

What I've realized, after multiple viewings of most of their movies, is that I'm more fan of the supporting cast. Paul Rudd is almost always gold, Leslie Mann is funny, and people like Catherine Keener, Steve Carell, Katherine Heigl, and Michael Cera are all hard to go wrong with.

I love all of 'em, from Rogen to Hill to Rudd to Cera, the Apatow films have the best young comedy actors in Hollywood today.

As far as Sandler/Schneider, I liked their movies. Granted, The Animal wasn't exactly Oscar-worthy, but it was funny. Same with 50 First Dates, and most of the other movies they did.

Ugh, I despise both of those films. They give "stupid" a whole new meaning. I'd much rather have an Apatow film with some genuine heart to it than another Rob Schneider turns into something funny movie.

Happy Madison was the prelude to what was to come with Apatow.

Kind of. But outside of Big Daddy, there really hasn't ever been a Happy Madison film that came anywhere near the drama or heart of Apatow's films. The last half hour of Knocked Up makes the Happy Madison films look like something a ******ed 6 year old would come up with during play time.

Since we're on the subject of "movie cliques", what do you think of Broken Lizard, the people behind Super Troopers, Beerfest, and Club Dread?

I love the Broken Lizard crew. Super Troopers is a classic (though frankly I've seen it so many times I don't ever have the desire to see it again), Beerfest is fucking CLASSIC and a great drinking movie obviously, and Club Dread is supremely underrated B-horror-comedy goodness. Love the Broken Lizard crew, can't wait for their new flick.

From what I've heard of it, it sounds like it has the potential to be a little heart-wrenching and sad. I knew this going to see The Bucket List, and still saw it anyway. It was a great movie, and had it's funny spots, but I'm not ashamed to admit I left the theatre with a tissue in hand...

Super Troopers was fucking gold, loved that movie, and it still makes me laugh every time I see it, Beerfest was pretty good as well, Club Dread....ugh...lets just say it was appropriately titled and leave it at that

 

[NSL]

Super Troopers - This movie was definitely some of the funniest stuff I had ever seen when it came out. I'm sure (re: hoping) I'm not the only one that tried to chug a bottle of syrup after that.

Beerfest - I don't know if I'd say "classic", but it was a great movie. There were some really good bits to it, and it went places a lot of comedies won't.

Club Dread - I love this movie. My favorite scene, is where the one guy is "interrogating" the yimnist "I'm pumping her hard. I think she's about to break!"

I thought I missed something during Jones' final speech.

Is this about No Country For Old Men? In my eyes, this film is about the inability of traditional forms of Western justice to deal with the type of criminal we see nowadays. In this film, Tommy Lee Jones is a very reserved, soft-spoken, honorable, and polite gentleman-Sheriff. He is all about upholding the law and making sure that the people in his town/jurisdiction do the right thing. But, implicit in such a way of doing things is the expectation that those whom you bring to justice are honorable and straight-forward themselves. Anton Chigurh isn't like this in the least. He's a principled man, but he only makes good on the promises he makes to other people, which are never that promising in the first place (e.g., if you tell me where the money is now, I won't kill your wife later on, but it's too late for you). In the end, Tommy Lee Jones can't save those whom Anton Chigurh goes after, and thus he sees himself as a failure. But, his failure isn't personal; rather, it has to do with the way he goes about things.
