Tried to watch FUBAR because of folks around here talking about it, but only made it thru like 35 minutes before I felt my IQ dropping and had to call it quits.

I watched it a couple nights ago on one of the movie channels. About what you'd expect.

It would be a waste of my time and yours to try to explain. Ya either get it or ya don't.

But let me assure you, it's not that it's NOT good or funny, just that it IS aimed at a very specific target audience who've lived all the cultural references and known people just like those depicted.

It wouldn't make sense to me if lots of outsiders 'got' it. I'm amazed Paul is a fan but someday that will make sense too

That was filmed here! You can still see the graffitti cover-ups :lol:

I felt I could really relate to it :lol:

Honestly though, Dean's shenanigans reminded me a lot of the many times I've been drunk with Peter. Unfortunately he doesn't show that side of himself too much any more.

I don't tend to expect much when I watch movies from these collections like After Dark, Masters Of Horror, Fangoria Blood Drive, etc.... but this one was surprisingly good. The story had classic elements you've seen before and didn't really break new ground. You knew what was going to happen and it wasn't some "surprise twist" and it didn't rely on surprise shocks or gore. Just a well done story doing what it does well.

and now I'm watching one of my all time favorite movies

by **viathyn** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 10:52 pm

best death scenes ever in that one!!

Big Trouble is an amazing movie! Love all (well, most) of John Carpenter's work. :headbanger:

by **nekrobarr** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 7:08 am

I'm definitely gonna watch it sometime during my workweek!

by **Ravenlord** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:14 am

Awesome movie! Tony Jaa is brilliant. IMO this is better than Ong Bak 1 and 2.

I just watched this a couple days ago. Was such a good movie, almost believable. Especially why sunlight destroys trolls. Hand cam movies usually don't do it for me, but this one in particular is so.. real, I guess I'd say. Cloverfield and that jive, it all looks fake and feels fake. Trollhunter had a certain authenticity to it that really surprised me.

Ong Bak 1 was my first Tony Jaa movie so I have to say it is the best one. Never seen someone hit as hard as Bruce Lee yet move like Jackie Chan before. I was pretty blown away and I watch a crap ton of martial arts flicks.

tonight i'm going to watch Johan & Pirrewiet and the flute with 6 smurfs

Have you ever watched a movie knowing it was going to be a bad movie but still expecting some entertainment value in the comic badness of it, but then it wasn't even worth your time in that sense? That's what Hobo With A Shotgun was. What a pointless peice of shit that was.

According to an online review, Real Steel was actually pretty good.

If I can motivate myself to go to the theater, maybe I'll check it out.

I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't just an action movie it was more a story about the human factor versus mechanizing everything.

I just figured it was Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots the movie. Haven't been to the theater in quite a while. Maybe we can go if I get really wasted this weekend.

Well, I watch anime and play hours upon hours of video games, so who am I to judge?

AHHHH KILL IT WITH FIRE

by **DrinkMoxie** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:35 am

Ultra low budget, really dumb, I'd watch it again before EVER watching Twilight...

by **cycosurgeon** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:36 am

And they say video games corrupt the youth of America?

My IQ went down just seeing those posters!!

Ha - actually - I was going to make a pre-emptive strike/comment :lol:

on that post (because I know many of you HATE the Twilight movies), but decided not to.

And by the way - believe it or not, I have never played even ONE video game in my entire life unless you count the proto-video game Pong* when I was a kid

- just never had any interest I guess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong

* this subject came up a while back and I posted this image - I seem to remember Debb saying she has never or rarely plays video games either.

I guess my major gripe, as I told Ryan Monday night, is that thanks to Twilight, Barnes and Noble now has a "Teen Paranormal Romance" section that's about as big as the regular "Romance" section.

I guess Borders' failure to adopt that section led to its bankruptcy :roll:

Are they written with the same huge font as Harry Pooper books? You know the kind of font that makes you think you are back in third grade in the special bus?
