This does contain my favorite fake porn title joke: "Remember the Tight Ones."

Episode 30 — Director's Edition: Cool as Ice
Bugs Meany replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I also wanted them to bring that up! But in fact she was offered the role, and turned it down on her father's advice. -
A word like "cool" just has a meaning. Adding a meaning is no big deal. For something like "literally" or "ironic," however, there's (1) what it means and (2) what it definitely does NOT mean. "Literally"-abusers are like guys who get drunk at baseball games and throw beer bottles onto the field. They ruin it for people who want to enjoy beer responsibly.

I know they covered it, and therefore it is an HDTGM movie. I was talking about the spirit of a HDTGM movie--the elements that make for great comedic dissection. There's no sport in making fun of something that is made just for people to make fun of. Whereas something like Staying Alive is completely earnest about being art and making a statement.

This is a good-bad GEM. Super-ultra earnest romantic dramas are gold. Just dig this plot. Charlize Theron has a terminal illness and is devoting her remaining days to finding uptight, joyless guys and, er, boning them into appreciating life again. Keanu Reeves wants no part of this. "I am too focused on my clichéd movie career as a Successful Advertising Executive to bone you, Charlize Theron at age 26. Thanks but no thanks." But she won't take no for answer. Please, Paul & co.

I think a good (bad) HDTGM movie is one that tries to be good, or thinks it is good. In other words, not something like Sharknado 2, which is purely made for people to watch ironically and tweet about and make GIFs out of.

Speaking of the existing theme song, the second voice ("Let's wallow in the mediocrity...") sounds like Adam Scott. Is it him? I asked this on twitter, but 'twas in vain.

You cannot possibly mean the 2007 version, because that is a lovely (if devastating) film. I'm a stone-faced guy in my 30s and I've never cried so much during a movie.
