Ghost of HST

I can see why people get into watching this...I watched Idiocracy recently so it was fun to see how they handled the "hero out of time" here. Of course, making it a few hundred years makes sense although I guess we are to believe that the great earthquake caused some sort of mass trauma but they really had to drive it home here...It was fun to watch Snipes just be a consummate asshole psychopath on all levels - ching-chong bing bong! My favorite was how Stallone was completely baffled by this "future" while Snipes could just bang on a keyboard and (randomly?) hack into all the info. he needed. Getting those guns to work was ridonkulous...

Count me as a big Dan fan also. Here's two separate Set List appearances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ1XFggihhQ

So the epi. should have been called "Yo, is this feminist?" or "Yo, is this misogynistic?" I have trained my self not to salivate about the upping of the live shows so this was a nice Friday evening surprise in what is, for me, the middle of a very hectic week, so this really hit me in the right mood...thanks for the greatest podcast in the universe!!

Yeah that was a great conversation...the background part was totally for us old farts: Spy Magazine, Katha Pollitt, Connie Chung and Nicaragua! I used to read Spy and I understand what Randy was saying about it but it must've, for better or worse, planted the seeds of modern-day snark...They could be pretty good at deconstructing celebrity at times: http://www.american-buddha.com/SPY.seagal.htm And as always some great bits...I would love to hear PFT recite that Daddy Longlegs monologue as Herzog 'cuz that's all I heard...

Agree with the general consensus...Great guest, great episode but I fall on the depressed-by-it side of the court...SO much death and weird sex obsession with a really pithy New Age Christian "message" (which was...?). The movie starts off so-so but once you find out the kid brother is not merely goofy but rather has Asperger's, the movie takes a dark turn downwards with a lot of illogical and hard-to-follow turns...I was baffled by the Latifah husband situation also as it just didn't seem to gel...

Time to exorcise the demons, bro.

This movie really pissed me off too...especially since it seemed like a poor revamping of Amores Perros...or a pathetic stab at Short Cuts or any PT Anderson film. Would love to hate watch it again... (Also agreed about The Artist and Slumdog.)

Speaking of Face Off...

Thanks!! Rulez just to see Horatio melt !

Thanks for your reply. I understand. Sucking on the Intertubez tits makes us all overly avaricious...It exists therefore I want...Y'all do a great job with the vids so keep 'em coming even if delayed...

Hate to be all one-notey but why release this episode with a notice to watch it at youtube when it won't be on there for another week or so...I'm a huge Earwolf fan and don't mean to be ranking on you but no one likes to be teased!

It'd be nice to know if it isn't going up for some reason because I am chomping at the bit to hear the episode. Thnkuvrymucho!

Maybe it's because I have no real sentimental connection to the Spice Girls but I didn't find this movie fun or funny at all. They could've done a fun movie about them with a plot that made some sense and was truly feminist but this was just a muddled pile of crap. The music/dance scenes were boring and the confusing documentary/fictional film metaplot or whatever was confusing at best...

A few things...Paul mentioned Go On at the end but maybe it is old because Seth Morris' Yahoo thing started quite a while back...I try to watch (force myself) the movies beforehand because I think it really enhances the podcast and you can always come here and talk about points you thought they missed...I totally called that Burt Burger King Reynolds too...so obvious: And Krug? Really? Made me think of Krull but also...

It was fun to watch it go from just Matt and Paul chilling to slowly ramping up into typical I4H mayhem - Excellent YT vids and stories folks!...I knew what Matt looks like but I didn't realize he was a Phish fan (or is it Phan? or Phishhead?)...yikes. He really must do an Analyze Phish with some others trying to deprogram him from thinking he actually "likes" them...

I can hear Jason now, "Of course the only way to solve a manly dispute is a dangerous game of HOVERCRAFT BALL!!! I mean c'mon guys, it's fucking HOVERCRAFT BALL!"

Don't know where to put this but there should be easy to find links for the surveys about the shows. Are there any now? It would probably up the amount of people who reply if you linked them in the show description. I want to fill some in but it's hard to google them...

Me three...I like both these teenager characters and extend the call for a showdown between Todd vs. Whomp-it-up. And yeah, throw in Jason for some added dynamics...

Yeah, it's funny that the article is about the soon-to-premiere Chevy Chase late-night show that was a career A-bomb I guess because he was pretty much gone after that until Community... Couldn't read all that Aykroyd article but he was pretty high on himself: "Comic beats and suspense" Say what? I dunno, whether it's your friends or not, if you're invested in comedy or even just a fan of the actors, it's disappointing to see them flail about and never hit anywhere near target. John Candy almost had me at the beginning with this "Not this year, sir." but, I agree with the hosts - there was something off about Candy, like he wasn't really committed to the role...I also got genuinely disgusted with this movie. I mean, I can handle League of Gentlemen or Tim and Eric because it really is so over the top. If you don't do that, you end up with a movie that just makes you go "ecch". Love the show, loved the episode...

Nothing like a crazy Satan movie! I think it's obvious but the over-the-top smooching of Keanu and Charlene was to show their lustful nature. Charlize's whole subplot was absurd though, wasn't it? Beelzu just wanted to torture her as she played no useful role except to be some sort of conscience to Keanu so why not just have offed? Oh yeah, free will. So torture her with demons and rape. Anyhow, like Jason, I am always reminded of DeNiro as the Satan in Angel Heart. Definitely made when DeNiro hadn't descended into taking hack roles and he plays it much more finessed than Pacino: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQfiuHK_U84

Funny/Sad article about Lohan's latest "project": http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/magazine/here-is-what-happens-when-you-cast-lindsay-lohan-in-your-movie.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0&pagewanted=all

I was hoping for Stop! or My Mom will Shoot! to see the comedic talents of Stallone but Cobra was full of laughs! It really is entertaining in its own bizarre way. So middle Reagan '80s in many, many ways, not the least is the great music. Lots of WTFerry. Can't wait for the podcast!

Le Gout shit aint funny...
