I doubt they would ever do this movie but everytime I watch it I leave thinking "Wtf did I just watch?". -Who is Green Eyes? * -Why is the repeating musical theme comedic in tone? * -If Frank Langella was willing to kill everyone for the other books why even send Corso at all? * -How did the black albino not notice a red Ferrari tailing him for hours on an empty highway? * -Why does Green Eyes use kung fu? * -Who killed Bernie and hung him up like the engraving? * -Are the chefs seen in the mansion kitchen part of some Satanic orgy catering service? * -Who could maintain an erection while banging an obvious demon outside of a burning castle? * -Did none of the cult members notice Green Eyes FLYING down to Corso in the mansion? * -Why doesn't the manly French secretary tell the police Corso murdered her boss? * -Did God try to kill Corso with the falling scaffolding? Can't God just kill whoever he wants whenever? * -Wouldn't Corso ask "wtf is wrong with your weird eyes?" at some point? * -Are the book store twins one actor in horrible split screen?? Why?? * -Why would Corso leave Green Eyes alone in the car at the last gas station after her other vanishing acts? * -Why does Corso run down steps to escape the albino and then walk up the next steps about ten feet away to the same street the albino was on? * -Green Eyes stops Corso from saving Lena Olin from Frank Langella because "he just committed a murder in public. Now you're off the hook for the other murders." WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO CALL THE POLICE FROM AN ELITE BILLIONAIRE SATANIC SEX ORGY??? And if Green Eyes is helping Corso go through the Ninth Gate why the fuck would she care about his police entanglements? Do arrest warrants carry over to Hell?? * -Wtf happens at the end???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T5mhtHf8T4

I'm also interested in expanding my movie chops with musicals. I usually think I won't like them, but then I can recite Annie from memory. ETA - It's great that the regulars on these forums are so welcoming

I added you! Here's the original sign up if you want to see who picked what. As you can see, people drift in and out, so there's really no pressure

Here's mine!

Oh ya I'll definitely try to participate in discussion if I watch, but being a chooser seemed like too lofty a position to start with haha

Welcome!

To add to Taylor Anne, you also don't need to be well versed in musicals either. Most of us aren't big musical people. Don't feel pressured to goin the rotation but don't feel like you can't participate because you aren't educated on the genre. This isn't serious business...except for Josie And The Pussycats which is the most serious business.

There's absolutely no requirement to watch or participate every week in order to join our rotation. I certainly haven't been able to make it through every week but you bet I'm gonna make everyone else watch Josie and The Pussycats lol! But that's still totally fair and your decision so if you ever change your mind let us know!

Welcome to the group!!! Do you wanna join our pick rotation as well?

OK newbie here. How does 'Musical Mondays' work? When do we discuss what we watch?

Are you suggesting that this movie isn't as good as Mission: Impossible?

I agree that this is unusually respectful, given that we are in the era of Short Round and Long Duck Dong. But I will also point out that when you boil this movie down, it's still about some extremely skilled and competent non-white characters (Cliff and Danja) who get shunted to the side so that the clueless, inexperienced young white guy is able to inexplicably save the day.

In a shocking twist, Cameron H is smarter than the bozos who wrote this movie!

I'm yet another person for whom the reveal worked perfectly and was awesome. I think it's more obvious if you go into the film knowing Gene Simmons is the big name, so you're looking for him, and also if you know what he looks like. XD Couple things: 1. In the tomato scene muttnik mentioned, I love that one of the henchmen says, "Yeah, eat it! Make him eat it!" I expected Stamos to be like, "Um, okay, fine. I mean, it's a tomato, I was probably going to eat it later anyway." 2. I like that when Vanity picks Stamos up after she shoots the bikers, he gets in the car with no problem, and then as soon as she pulls away he shouts, "Hey, my bike!" (Actually, Cliff's bike) But why did you get in the car without any questions about what would happen to your own vehicle? Why not just ride after her? And finally, Lazenby is the best Bond. It's all about respect for women. (In fact, this movie knew how lucky it was to get him. In the credits, he's called a "Special Guest Star." In a movie. As TVTropes.com puts it, "How exactly someone can 'guest star' in a production that doesn't have a regular cast is left as an exercise to the reader.")

A few things I want to talk about after listening to the episode. First George Lazenby is nowhere near the worst Bond, that is easily Timothy Dalton. Lazenby is probably my third favorite Bond after Connery and Craig, and might have been higher if he didn't get into a huge fight with the producers about how he was to promote the film, and basically leaving the contract he had for another five films if I remember correctly. The Hulu documentary about Lazenby getting the role is one of the best documentaries I've seen in years and gives quite a bit of information on the whole process of how they looked to replace Connery as Bond. Also, I was surprised to hear that this movie cost three million as there was some big production pieces and special effects in the film. This was more shocking in comparison to Yes Giorgio that somehow cost nineteen million and looked like utter dog shit. As for Gene Simmons' wig, I was starting to think that he was wearing TWO wigs, the orange Coruthers one and the big Rocky Horror one, because there is no feasible way he could fit that mass of hair under a cap in order to put on the orange wig, it was easier to see it as him having one wig in his backpack or supply pouch and would switch as necessary. With the club that Stamos rides his motorbike to, there are literally dozens of people also riding their bikes up the elevator into that club and are running the bikes on the dance floor. My question is how the fuck is not everyone in that club dead from carbon monoxide poisoning because there seems to be no ventilation in that club at all? Was it confirmed that Vanity was having sex with Lazenby? Because with how she was mourning him I thought they were in a relationship, which would mean that Stamos was an eskimo brother with his own father. Finally, since this movie seems to be the template used for young teens/adults becoming spies, can we please have If Looks Could Kill starring RIchard Greico covered by the show, because that movie is an utter disaster?

Elder Stargrove doesn’t know his left from his right.

Okay, the Kiss Kaskets were brought up. Dimebag Darrell and his brother, Vinnie Paul were buried in them. So, if it's good enough for Vinnie and Dime of Pantera, then it's good enough for everybody else. But, Kiss Kaskets are just the tip of the iceberg. Some other "interesting" merch items. - "Tongue Lubricated" Kiss Kondoms - Kiss Mr Potato Head - Kiss Checkers - Kiss Air Guitar Strings On top of all that Gene Simmons was recently selling his own branded "Gene Simmons Vault". And for $2000, you get 10 CDs, with over 150 unreleased songs featuring a who's who of music, as well as a special edition action figure, a comemorative "In Gene We Trust" coin, and a special book with unseen pictures throughout his career. And the best part is? Gene will deliver it to you personally! He did not respond when I asked him if he would chuck some Shannon Tweed movies in there for that price.

Wrestling absolutely is a real man's sport. Because Kurt Angle won the Olympic Gold Medal, with a broken fucking neck! He broke his fucking neck, won the fucking Olympics for America, IN America, then he cried, because it was just too much fucking AMERICA to handle. If Kurt Angle can't handle that much AMERICA, do you know how much AMERICA that fucking is?! It's fucking LOADS!! I could handle it, because I'm British, and the term "Yeah, that's alright, that is." is considered HIGH praise.

Loved the movie, loved the episode. As for the incinerator Vanity was tortured in, it appears to a brickyard facility, so it was an industrial kiln used to cure clay into bricks. So... 1: the temperature dial would not go by 100's as bricks are fired 1200 Celsius, roughly 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. 2: the human body shuts down at about 250 degree and at 700, she would be on fire, the metal table would be glowing red as would the cuffs holding her down And, probably the most baffling 3: why would someone install a two-way intercom in an oven?

It's all a result of Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 which predated all of these.

I had to scroll pretty deep through Google images to find a pic of the apples (I also did not realize Carruthers was Simmons. But to be fair, I was distracted by Vanity and apples.)

Yeah, I knew he was a bad guy from the way the camera lingered, but I didn't realize it was Ragnar until he said he's close. Then it was obvious. Similarly, I had no idea that Ragnar was Simmons until I saw the tongue and looked up the cast,

you must have just watched this movie because i've seen it multiple times and still have no fucking clue what happens to the point that i couldn't even think of what questions to ask aside from "why."

D3 seconded. If only for the "Goldberg Rollerblades Backwards Forever" scene.
