Just for you MJ!

this Drag Me To Hell movie actually looks like it might be a horror blockbuster thats actually scary

I'm surprised no one has brought up Terminator Salvation. I'm pretty pumped.

I havent seen any talk around here, so maybe its just me, but does anyone else think [size=24]Terminator: Salvation looks absolutely Fucking Awesome?!?![/size]

Its going to make Rise of the Machines look like Batman & Robin

High-5 Sun&Moon  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

It looks badass

The buzz has been less than stellar. If this means anything to you, and it does to me, the new flick has a PG-13 rating.

The Wrester (finally!) - good flick. It had a Rocky vibe to it - along with multiple types of addictions and survival. I got used to seeing Mickey's disfigured face, which surprised me. What a way to make a living! I don't think this story is too far off from life in real low-end wrestling sub-cultures.

Its even gone down 5% from 41 to 36 since when K posted that 3 hours ago  ;D

What I dont get is Terminator 3 is a 70% on RT, but this is a 36%?!?!

Maybe it will be worse than 3 (I havent seen that one in awhile, but I remember being disappointed), but come on, its not going to be that much worse. Based on the comments there too, at least it sounds like the action/special effects are top notch.

Harry Knowles clearly isn't a fan: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41140

"I hate the film. Pure and simple. I loathe it. I hated it so much I didn't want to see my friend's faces afterwards. I just wanted to go home and vent. I really really hate this film. I hate how much effort so many great artists and technicians put into a film that's this fucking bad. Ultimately its just shit moving, like a sewer pipe. I hate that there isn't a sustained scene or sequence that I love as much as the best moment from TERMINATOR 3. I hate that when I left the theater I felt empty and let down. That I felt like writing a review like this instead of fucking dry humping a great TERMINATOR movie.

This feels like ALIEN RESURRECTION to me. Something that kills something wonderful for me. I'm no longer interested in Terminator. McG terminated my enthusiasm. I love the first two films. At least I'll always have that. Fuck this movie."

[capt. scotty]

 ;D

So I guess that means he liked Aliens 3? I thought that one was a pooper despite being directed by Fincher.

I know I read 1 of this guy's reviews before, but I cant remember if it was on this forum or another one. I cant remember what movie it was, but it was one of the funniest things Ive ever read.

you have any idea what review/movie Im talking about?

[dragonboy]

No idea.

He's definitely passionate about his movies, that's for sure. His site is great for movie news so I check it every day but he doesn't actually post that many reviews.

[capt. scotty]

Yeah, didnt think you would  ;D

I think I read it on another site too...I might need to do some digging.

EDIT: Is there some way to access his reviews from before the last few months? I cant seem to find a way to go back further than that  :-?

[capt. scotty]

Somehow my neurons synapsed and it all came back to me. It wasnt Harry Knowles, but it was from that site. Not the funniest thing Ive ever read in retrospect, but still a pretty damn funny review of 300.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31520

"I just saw a movie that'll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It's called 300. I don't know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could've called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it'd still rule.

It's about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated shit out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.

The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it's sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, "I need some extra sauce packets" guess what? You're getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.

I can't spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN'T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that's hitting someone's balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.

TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE:

COOL THING ONE:
HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES

Who gives a shit if the music isn't historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could've used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel's Pretzel is telling you that you'll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.

COOL THING TWO:
FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS

Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There's wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he's got Rosie O'Donnell on his back.

Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.

NOT SO GOOD THING:
DUDE NUDITY ("DUDE-ITY")

These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they're serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.

Any directors reading this – IT'S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.

Can't someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?

My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I've seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf"

If Harry Knowles doesn't like the new Terminator film, then it's not even passable since he likes almost everything.

Foot Fist Way - not as good as I expected but man it must be tough to carry a low budget film by yourself.  Love Danny Mcbride

Land of the Lost doesnt look funny at all to me, but if it ends up being huge, Im thinking Danny McBride takes John C Reilly's position as Ferrell's right hand man in a lot of movies.

That would be a shame, John C Reilly is funnier than Will Ferrell & Danny McBride IMO.
