IRONicmerMAN

Agreed. In. Full. It was on this weekend, and I forgot the true masterpiece within. It's amazing across the board. Arnie carrying a log? A rocket launcher police escape? A good guy named Matrix vs a villain in a mesh tanktop and dog collar? This film has it all! Also worth noting: the movie score is by the late James Horner, he who also scored the likes of Aoollo 13, Braveheart, Glory, Titanic. My son is only 4 1/2. Once he hits 5 years old, it might be time to star introducing him to some classic Arnold.

I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. Alas, it's one I can't defend, despite the fact that Rutger Hauer is amazing and acts the hell out of his role.

Politicians like to talk about emasculation when denouncing policy. To combat the trend, truck nuts for everyone!

Clark Gable sent a cable to fabled Able Mable which read: roll in the hay in a stable or on a table?

Just because it chances being a good HDTGM target, I'm going to leave this out here. Upcoming film that implies dogs, or at least one dog, do not go to heaven and are instead subjected to ongoing reincarnation as new dogs. Or is this one dog being subjected to a torturous, subservient hell for what he did? Lots of dog stuff going around with the people involved: Ironically, the director's name is Lasse. You know, like the dog name sans an "i". And looking at his filmography, I notice both My Life as a Dog and Hachi: A Dog's Tale. Is Lasse really a dog trapped in a man's body and his films are a lifelong cry for help? The screenplay credit goes to Audrey Wells, who wrote The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Its cast also includes a man named Pooch Hall. The book it's based on has a 5-star rating over nearly 3000 reviews on Amazon (!!!). For the director and screenplay writer, they've been involved in some good films. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, because it has a lot of positive going for itself, but this looks like it's going to be pretty bad. Look, I think dogs are great and this will probably be a huge hit with dog lovers who can stomach dog deaths in film and a bomb with cat folks, but we shall see. Here's a couple of the less optimistic articles I found.

New phone, who dis?!?! Oh...hi, mom. Yeah, I got the card you sent. Thanks.

It's a gas.

This is a solid first post. Points!

Since the Inauguration, Obama is getting the comparative respect that he deserves: being an adult.

The creepiest pasta I've had was Italian dinner with my future in-laws after we told them I got their daughter pregnant. Now that's a spicy meatball.

Or as we say in America, everyone gets laid.

While I also don't see nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind, I do see something wrong with doing your laundry afterwards.

Carpe diem? Well, they best way is carp per diem. Cooked right, I could eat those fillets all day.

In order to recruit more millennials, the Navy has renamed Fleet Week as On Fleek Week. No diggity.

VAMPIRES VAMPIRES VAMPIRES VAMPIRES!

Or not.

Good call. The two films combined make Drive Angry (cars and returning from hell), so why not look at the components? The crew needs to make this happen in a four-hour live show!

The music in this video is perfect.

I don't eat dogs, so I'm good. My point was that on top of this being a dog-focused movie that looks like complete dog shit, one of the animal actors was abused. I feel like June would jump on this, considering her stance on the simian actors in Monkey Shines. They just didn't get credit. No word on actual physical harm.

I have a lust for life. I also have a lust for chicken and waffles. One lust is really hamstringing the other.

They missed doing a 2-part Cage Auto Show with Drive Angry.

Wow. That escalated quickly.

This piece of cinematic diarrhea drops tomorrow. I just saw this and figured it might add some momentum to the recommendation. If I recall, an older episode had the crew discussing a dog being thrown into a lake in the background of a film. Not sure which episode or movie, but I think it was a lengthy discussion. On January 18, 2017, a video surfaced on TMZ showing footage taken from the set of the film, which shows a German Shepherd named Hercules being dragged and dipped into rushing water while visibly resisting. After a cut in the video, the next clip shows the dog being submerged in the water at the other end of the tank while a voice on set can be heard saying "cut it", and various people are then seen rushing towards the dog. The American Humane Association, which ensures that animals are not harmed in entertainment productions, announced that its representative on set had been suspended over the incident, and that the incident is under further investigation. PETA called for a boycott of the film. Actor Josh Gad, who was not on set during the making of the movie, claimed he was "shaken and sad to seen any animal put in a situation against its will". Producer Gavin Polone wrote in an editorial for The Hollywood Reporter, "Last Thursday, I went to Amblin's office and watched all the film shot on the day in question, as well as saw video from the trainers and still photographs. As with the TMZ video that you saw, two things were evident: 1) the dog handler tries to force the dog, for 35 to 40 seconds, into the water when, clearly, he didn’t want to go in; and 2) in a separate take filmed sometime later, the dog did go into the water, on his own, and, at the end, his head is submerged for about 4 seconds. These two things are absolutely INEXCUSABLE and should NEVER have happened. The dog trainer should have stopped trying to get the dog to go in the water as soon as the dog seemed uncomfortable, and the trainers should have had support under the dog as soon as he came to the side of the pool and/or had less turbulence in the water so he never would have gone under." Director Lasse Hallström stated on Twitter that he "did not witness" the actions in the video, and was "very disturbed" by the footage. Amblin Entertainment released a statement in regards to the incident, saying that "[o]n the day of the shoot, Hercules did not want to perform the stunt portrayed on the tape so the Amblin production team did not proceed with filming that shot", and that "Hercules is happy and healthy". Due to the release of the video, Universal Pictures cancelled the film's scheduled January 19 Los Angeles premiere.

Eh.
