To take my mind off the current situation I’ve gotten into collecting things and I started with unemployment benefits.

I just watched that preview. Holy fucking shit. Would make an interesting double feature with Hudson Hawk.

I’ve never seen this but I remember it was a massive commercial/critical flop RIGHT AFTER The Sixth Sense. Sixth Sense was in the summer, this came out in the fall amongst much more iconic movies like Being John Malkivich, Fight Club, etc.

I will have one by the end of the day.

Say what you will about how poorly written this movie is with glaring plot holes and story elements that make no sense. The one thing they did nail though is that McGuillicuddy's passport he uses to get onto the Money Plane is in fact an Irish passport. Only in this one small area did they have an eye for details.

Another game I would have loved to seen played out was from an old Tales From the Crypt episode where two rivals play cards and whoever loses the hand loses a finger and then toe before moving on to other limbs. Was a pretty good episode and had a good amount of tension in the game because the risk was clear and understandable to the viewer.

I am sad Jason doesn’t remember how June loves a plane movie, but happy to know that Paul and June’s first date was “Snakes on a Plane.”

Not to be that guy, but Paul said there were 7 reviews and 38% of them were 5 star. This is impossible. 2 out of 7 would be 29% and 3 out of 7 would be 43%. More likely, there were 8 reviews with 3 five-stars

Definitely more card games

The trailer said it starred The Edge, and I was literally waiting for the guitarist of U2 to show up.

Also we see the plane is departing from a HUGE airport where they would surely have to register it with the TSA.

Also to my knowledge, the plane is considered to be in the jurisdiction of the country its registered to, until it hits the landing strip of the country its going to. This money plane has to be registered to some country right?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE CRIME IN INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE! In researching "international air" and "committing crimes," you find that the same laws apply to international waters. One article, again more specific to crimes committed in International Waters, notes that "the simple fact is, no one lives in international waters forever. Once you reach the port, you may have to show responsibility for the crimes that you’ve committed. That is, if no one catches you before. So no, international waters are not technically no one’s land where you can do whatever you want." And as Jason brought up... what crimes were actually being committed on the plane? I mean the only illegal activity outside of gambling without a license, is The Concierge shooting a guy for cheating. Yes, we see people betting on how long someone will survive a snake bite or a pool of piranhas, but the act of those specific events are happening on the ground where laws will surely punish those perpetrating it! Also Paul, based on your past experience... what were your feelings on the acting of the guy being devoured by Piranhas?

Putting aside Joey’s fake hairline, the fact that Paul, June and Jason didn’t recognize Thomas Jane or that Kelsey Grammer clearly says his nickname is The Rumble (what the hell is a Grumble team!)… the most upsetting issue is why the bookkeeper wore an earring so high up when he in fact has an available hole in the “normal” spot. It was soooo distracting!

As a bald/balding man who smokes a pipe on occasion and is severely disgusted by feet, this episode really spoke to me.

Speaking of the mini, I am really worried about the new dad who Paul did not talk about but responded to in two episodes ago. I am religious, so I do not mean to offend Anyone, but I have been praying for them. I do not have to know the reason.

Yeah, I haven’t listened to most of the back catalogue of minis. The regular eps themselves took a long time to get through.

Seen 50 of these but the list really needs to be weighted, as it's only qualifier is 20 reviews, so a movie could have 20 meh reviews and get a worse ranking thank a movie with three times as many bad reviews but had some good ones mixed in. Also noticed a lot of Stephen Dorff on that list, should there be another thing added to the list of "how to know if a movie will be terrible" list that's on this forum?

It's also important to note that Rotten Tomatoes is not measuring which films people HATED the most, just which films had the highest percentage of critics giving them at least a mildly negative review. Some of these are probably just widely acknowledged as dull or mediocre, not necessarily hated.

Looks like Paul and Amy have their new podcast now that Unspooled has gone through the AFI 100.

God, what a career.
