Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Back to the topic of earlier.... there will be a sequel to REC. REC 2 will pick up right where the first one left with the SWAT team going in to try and clean things up. Trailer:

Swat fail, unless there's some BS about them not being killable by bullets. I think there was like 12 people who would be infected in that building.

And the dog that helped start it all off at the vets is pretty much going to unleash it on the world already.

Saw Tales of Desperaux on HBO today. Not impressed.

Nothing about the movie was even average quality.

I remember watching the original when I was about 8. It was the greatest movie ever at that point.

Worse: there are also plans for a remake of "Real Genius".

Far far worse: and "House Party".


WHY???

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Not even close to what reviewers are making it out to be. On rottentomatoes.com it's sitting on par with films such as Dragonball Evolution, an affront to all things good and decent. I haven't seen the original in a while but I remember it being almost absurdly campy. Quite honestly, aside from a couple scenes in the original, I thought this one was better.

Spoiler
I did want Freddy to actually be innocent and that the kids had all lied. Him being focused on the kids because it was their fault rather than the parents would have been different.

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

The first one really isnt super campy for the time, nowadays it is a laugh riot! Still my favorite horror franchise because of how absurd it got. The new one looks really good which surprises me.

Remaking Commando is a crime and the Governator should go to court to stop it ****it!

Remake Real Genius...people need to die!

House Party was already remade, it was called House Party 2

And because it needs to be done...fast forward to about 4:30:

I'm going to make it my life's goal to never see any of these movies - because for a variety of reasons, these should never have been made:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1212...rry_vengeance/
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/human_centipede/


and let's just hammer this home...

Yup, avoid.

For the full horror of just how ****ing terrible that series is, this poor man has gone through and read and summarized each chapter.

That said, the movies are watchable if you are listening to the rifftrax, aka mystery science theater 3000 guys.

I just got home from seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street. It never mattered what the reviews said. I was always going to go see it.

Last scene of the entire movie is the best one.

There was no need to remake that movie. That's all I'm saying.

Yup, avoid.

The only way that would be worse would be if the Human Centipede was forced to watch Furry Vengeance.

That said, the movies are watchable if you are listening to the rifftrax, aka mystery science theater 3000 guys.

*ing excellent movie. Basic plot is a 30 year vet of civil service finds he has a year to live, so he quits his job (realizing that he was just passing time there) and intends to drink himself to death (never really had a drink in his life). However, a couple people inspire him to really live.

Usually, movies stop or do a simple recap after the main guy's death. Not this movie. Great use of flashback storytelling, awesome character development, and very solid story.

Very much recommend this one.

Silly Little Game. One of ESPN's 30 for 30 series (I promise, this one is great, and yes I saw the Gretzky one and yes it was terrible, but trust me) on the "Founding Fathers" of Rotisserie Baseball. Very, very funny.

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Joe Posnanski on Brendan Fraser:

If I was a producer making a movie about, oh, I don’t know, Hong Kong Phooey, and I had enough money to pay any actor in Hollywood, I would take Brendan Fraser. Tom Hanks wouldn’t give his all. George Clooney would walk through the role with sarcasm. Russell Crowe would punch the director. Matt Damon would wink throughout, demanding that everyone be in on the joke. Robert DeNiro would want Hong Kong Phooey to lock bad guys in a trunk. Al Pacino would say “Hoo ha!” a lot. Robin Williams would want to do all the voices. Johnny Depp would turn Hong Kong Phooey into a frightening and dark figure.

But Brendan Fraser … I know he would try. And that means a lot to me. Maybe someday he will get a great role, perfect for him, and he will win an Oscar. Maybe someday he will play Alfalfa in an adult version of “The Little Rascals.” Either way, I know I can count on him. And there just aren’t that many people you can count on.
