Episode 69 - Minnesota State Fair (w/ Cedric Yarbrough, Mark McConville, Colleen Smith, Little Janet Varney)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
As someone with hairy kneecaps I never realized I was a 2nd class citizen to be looked down upon by the likes of PFT. Despite that this was an A+ episode. -
Episode 87 - Daniel Franzese: Wrong Island
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus
This show has been absolutely great the last few weeks. -
They filmed (a very small part of) that show in my neighborhood. Unfortunately I didn't see Winona. Fortunately I didn't embarrass myself in front of Winona.

If anyone is in the mood for some Romeo and Juliet related comedy this week's Spontaneanation is great. http://www.earwolf.com/episode/paris/ -

Episode 140 - Mannequin Two: On the Move (w/ Steve Agee)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I was OK with the Count's plotting and multiple attempted murders but when he complained about the quality of The Presentation (it deserves capitalization at this point) that was really too much. He seems like a have his cake and eat it too kind of guy. -
Episode 140 - Mannequin Two: On the Move (w/ Steve Agee)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I think the love story in this movie is unintentionally very dark. Jessie can't seem to accept that Jason isn't actually Prince William. So she is entering into this 100% in love with someone she has never met.........unless Jason is the Jupiter Ascending style exact genetic recreation of William. And even then I don't like this situation for Jessie. -
Episode 140 - Mannequin Two: On the Move (w/ Steve Agee)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
Going that far back I think just about all of us are related. And while he may not be diabolical Prince William is the real villain of the movie. I know he was upset about losing his girlfriend but cursing his country to 1000 years of constant rain is really taking it out on people who don't deserve it. -
Episode 140 - Mannequin Two: On the Move (w/ Steve Agee)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
It had to be the little sister, right? Otherwise they were just playing with our emotions introducing that character and I know these filmmakers wouldn't treat their audience that way. Edit: Just to be clear I mean after the sister reached legal age in H-K. Which I think is 25. -
Episode 140 - Mannequin Two: On the Move (w/ Steve Agee)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
This violates the 24 second rule that made this movie possible but I am curious about the power of curses by the Hauptmann-Koening royal family. The queen drops the really convoluted "1000 years OR until she meets a true love from another land" off the top of her dome and bam that is how things are. Then Prince William says "you've cursed this land for 1000 years" or something like that. He didn't deliver the line like he was the one laying down the curse, just like he was passing along information. But if not from him where did that curse come from? Anyway this family really seems to have a lot of juice in the curse department and I'm surprised they couldn't parlay that into ruling more of Europe. Also Steve was totally right to be confused by the Count being 1000 years old. This movie had it both ways he announced he was the descendant but then later said "I've been waiting for this for 1000 years." -

I present to the world the next great meme image. Mostly to be used in "it me" scenarios. -
When KD is heading down the tunnel for his first Warrior's game listening to Oculus Summah on his headphones I don't think Stard will be upset about this year's Finals anymore.

Wow. I know Knicks fans have been down but I didn't know it was so bad you'd strategize a way to lose by less. I thought it was always 3 free throws for fouling a 3-point shooter? But I could definitely be wrong. As long of a google search as I was willing to commit to (less time than it took type this) said the NCAA added the 3rd free throw in 1990 but no mention of if the NBA ever made a change there.
-
Sorry I can't let the basketball part go. The fact that the main character was told to metaphorically commit a foul as a motivational technique has got to be unique in movie history, right?
-
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe he was still on the team while they were filming. Although having said that this movie could have been improved with some really awkward ADR. Edit: Now that I think about it I guess this movie could have been a period piece. 1997.

If that restaurant has been there for 70 years shouldn't it be on the National Historic registry or something? I was as bothered by that throw away line as June was. When the French chef comes into Tom's office and throws the knife into the wall the two TVs on the wall immediately turn off when the knife hits. Only a magic crab can explain that but I don't think he was around then. I thought for the belt adjusting scene they showed great restraint only using the orchestral flourish for each adjustment when they obviously wanted to do this.

There is only one thing in this movie worth discussing. When D'Angelo Barksdale (Nolan) gave SMG the basketball analogy/pep talk. He tells her that she is Patrick Ewing and she has to foul Michael Jordan while he is taking the last shot. But he also says they are up 1. So they are going to send MJ to the free throw line to win the game instead of living with a contested shot? If I am Jeff Van Gundy and I see SMG/Patrick Ewing giving that foul I am losing my god damn mind! But I understand there may be competing coaching philosophies so please everyone weigh in with some situational basketball.

Episode 138 - The Boy Next Door (w/ Heather Anne Campbell, Ben Siemon)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I think there was a deleted setup scene between J Lo and the uncle where he tells her digital clocks are the way to go and he is throwing out all his analog clocks. -
Episode 138 - The Boy Next Door (w/ Heather Anne Campbell, Ben Siemon)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
During that scene when someone off camera yells "shove it in his leg!" I imagined that was the director yelling stage directions and they just left it in. -
Episode 138 - The Boy Next Door (w/ Heather Anne Campbell, Ben Siemon)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
It was odd that after they crash the car with the brakes cut when we see it next it is just back in the driveway at home. They didn't want to take it to a garage get fixed? Maybe The Wiz told his dad that his friend next door is great with cars and could fix it for them. -
Episode 138 - The Boy Next Door (w/ Heather Anne Campbell, Ben Siemon)
ChunkStyle replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I have a theory why the other car on the laptop was just "2006 minivan". I laughed out loud at that scene when the minivan crashed and immediately exploded with the force of 20 Ford Pintos. It makes the minivan look like a deathtrap. And although I believe they removed the badges from it the minivan was clearly a Dodge/Chrysler product. The other prominently featured car is the Dodge Challenger. It was featured so much that it felt like surely there was some deal between Dodge and the filmmakers. Maybe they figured Rob "Fast and Furious" Cohen would really show off their car well. But then the car executives saw a rough cut of the movie and saw their other product being shown as a rolling bomb and forced them to scrub their name off of that. -
Mine was for Jupiter Ascending. That episode is special to me because I listened to it when I was trapped in the Guadalajara airport for 14 hours so it turned at least a part of the ordeal into a pleasurable experience.

I am in Tucker and lucky me my local Publix redbox stocks bad movies apparently. When I was at the redbox site I did find that it looked like more locations carried the blu ray than the DVD if that helps you any.
-
Same boat. I was shocked no one is digitally renting it. No way I am going to buy it and end up on some kind of watchlist so I am redboxing for the first time in my life. I am sure Paul and the gang will feel our struggle (via the normal psychic channels) and pour their heart and soul into this episode.

One thing I was looking forward to for the Dragonheart discussion was a compilation of how many times someone shows up in the nick of time from off screen to save the day. I feel like this movie may hold the record.
