I wonder if one of the regular posters here is Scotty Auks...
-
I hope this isn't the last George Romero movie because the later "Dead" movies are pretty fucking bad.
-
oh hahahaha I guess my expectations of Liotta are so low that I didn't question the idea of him being in a low budget movie and with what happened with the Expendables 3 poster I didn't question this at all.
-
Wow that poster looks thrown together. It's like they caught Liotta in the middle of a DeNiro impression

From what I remember of Monkey Shines there was a lot of sneering and for some reason I have a problem with movies with a lot of sneering. -
Christian Mingle: The Movie (2014)
Lando replied to WEdidITagain's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I was watching the trailer and thought "that looks like Gretchen Weiners, but naw...can't be..." holy shit! Regina George maid of honor? I like to joke that if you sign up at Christina Mingle it prepopulates your favorite movies with "The Passion of the Christ."- 38 replies

I agree completely about coming to this subforum to discuss bad movies with everyone else and that Paul, Jason and June have limited ability to take on films. That said though, I think that they could make better use of FYI. Shariq did an amazing job making it and I think that maybe twice a year they they could pick out a handful of movies and for a couple of months Paul direct people to the site in the minisode to vote to do a "listeners choice" film. That would probably be a good balance. Also if this subforum was called "Bad Movie Discussion" it would probably set people's expectations a little more accurately.

I am rarely let down when I watch a movie that Paul picks. -
Watch Best Worst Movie because that is a thoroughly entertaining documentary about Troll 2, especially since you obviously like the whole "so bad it's good" phenomenon.

There is a Troll 1. It's also pretty bad and the movie wasn't intended to be a sequel, someone decided that it should ride on the success of Troll for some reason. Actually, Troll seems to be overlooked, but it would actually be a good movie for HDTGM

I think that a couple of the big problems with the discussions of this nature are that a) they are by nature hard to measure since it is an internal attitude that someone may or may not be willing to admit and we all to often rely on anecdotes when these are really statistical issues. Maybe hypothetically they refer to a black supporting cast member by nickname only 80% of the time, but only 30% of the time for a white supporting cast member, maybe they're both 50% I don't know and really nobody here has taken the time to listen to each episode carefully and quantify how they refer to supporting cast members by race. All we have are specific incidents where they have done one or the other. In my opinion it makes it really hard to have a meaningful discussion about discrimination when all you have are examples and counterexamples.

Smigg, I'm just worried that one day you are going to be hunkered down in a room with "shit dicks" written all over the walls and mumbling about finger blasting a chicken.

But it's not like Tyler Perry is the Jackie Robinson of film making. There have been many other black directors that have come before him with successful movies like Jon Singleton or Antoine Fuqua and movies like the Friday or Babrbershop franchise and yet Perry is somehow the standout.
-
It's sort of like if an adult came up to you and said "Why did the chicken cross the road? I bet you'll never guess!" and you thought "to get to the other side" was too obvious so you gave up and asked why and they said "To get to the other side!!!" It's almost too obvious. In this sense the twist in this movie is a lot like Now You See Me.

Some of the best episodes of the show have been when they've not just made fun of a movie, but broken it down, ie Punisher, Superman III or The Room or when they've not agreed like with The Odd Life of Timothy Green.
-
Part of me does wonder if it would be a little more difficult to get an African American comedian to guest on this episode just because they might be worried that it would hurt their chances of being in a Tyler Perry produced movie in the future. I mean, even if he makes arguably bad movies there is no denying that he's got a lot of power to get stuff made. Not to say that they shouldn't try their hardest to get an African American guest, but I would understand why many would be hesitant.

While Temptation isn't about race, there is a huge racial divide in the appeal of Tyler Perry movies. Most of the time there is a pretty broad distaste (at least by adults) for the movies they choose.
-
Ok, part of me hopes that they get Patti Stanger to guest on this one.

I watched this last night and a few thoughts: - Kirk Cameron would watch this movie and say "tone it down Tyler Perry" - I know that there is a pretty strong argument for misogyny in this film, but it is interesting that his appeal is pretty broad in the African American community. He has several shows on Oprah's network alone. There's gotta be more to it than just "Tyler Perry hates women." - Whether or not Tyler Perry hates women, he certainly hates his audience as evidenced by his decision to let Kim Karashian "act" in this movie.

I am clearly a glutton for punishment because I just added the OG trilogy and Fireproof to my Netflix queue.

Man I was calling the band "Dragon Song" when it's "Dragon Sound" that's a huge old man move. Oh well, I'll just go back to listening to The Nickelback.
