Episode 61.5 — Minisode 61.5

[Episode 61.5 — Minisode 61.5]

Good news, if you have HBO Go, Joyful Noise is available to watch via that service.

[HDTGM Voting Site is HERE - For Your Inconsideration]

Is there a way you can add an option to sort by the latest added (maybe also: most voted on, average user rating, rt ratings, etc. as well)? I spend way too much time on this forum and will also spend way too much time on FYI, so I would love a way to find movies that I have not yet had a chance to weigh in on.

[Mars Attacks!]

If you were to take Tim Burton's entire catalog of movies and split it in half with half of his movies going in a "good" pile and the other half going into a "bad" pile this one would end up in the "good" pile. He has made so many worse movies in the 2000s which by comparison makes Mars Attacks a "good for Tim Burton" movie.

 

And even with that said, I enjoy this movie as a comedy. It's not one of Burton's best, but there are some funny parts in it.

[Demolition Man]

merge bump

[The Happening - (it's never happening, but talk about it if you want)]

I am glad to see such strong support for this film on FYI

[Bridge of Dragons]

One spoiler, there isn't a single bridge in this movie and there are ZERO dragons. What there is, is plenty of Dolph Lundgren straight-to-DVD action. Check out the trailer for yourself:

 

Also, this movie is up in its entirety on youtube if you feel like watching a Dolph Ludgren movie.

Wow, this is incredible. Shariq did a fantastic job on this.

[Pearl Harbor]

I think that they could do this movie, but ONLY as a two part episode to give both the hosts and audience breathing room to watch it.

[Atlas Shrugged (2011)]

So far HDTGM has been politics-free and I like that. I don't think it would be possible to do Atlas Shrugged in an apolitical manner.

[Pearl Harbor]

I think the reason why Michael Bay movies have not been done yet is because they are fucking loooooooong. Pearl Harbor is 3 mind numbing hours long and the Transformers are all around 2 & 1/2 hours each. I know Paul has remarked about how some of the two hour movies are long and I know he does not want to torture the listeners any more than he has to.

[Clarification: Stop or My Mom Will Shoot]

I read that Tango & Cash was originally written for Arnie and Sly, but Arnie couldn't do it due to schedule conflicts.

 

I also saw that Sly is scheduled for the sequel to Twins, Triplets. Not particularly looking forward to that one even though I enjoyed Twins.

[Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)]

Maybe Paul as himself, occasionally doing his impression? He does do a great impression.

[Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)]

Also, how has this thread gone on this long without anyone suggesting Paul F. Tompkins doing Werner Herzog as the guest??? I think this movie deserves that level of meta experience.

 

Paul is very funny and very talented, but I usually skip Doug Loves Movies episodes with schtick guests. It's a lot to fill an entire hour with those impressions and it gets old after a little bit IMO.

[No Holds Barred (1989)]

And I was wrong, it was released on DVD last year and you can see it on vudu.

[No Holds Barred (1989)]

This movie is soooo bad and I don't think it's been done much that it's a good choice for them. However is it easy to find? I think it's relatively hard to find as I don't think it was ever released on DVD and it's not available for streaming anywhere (I'd be happy to find out that I was wrong)

 

I remember when I was a kid and thought wrestling was real this movie was awesome. I thought that the "teeny wangers" thing was the height of comedy. I caught it on TV about 5 years ago and enjoyed it on a whole new level.

[Clarification: Stop or My Mom Will Shoot]

During this issue Jason asks "what's up with the "I'll be back" reference?" In the 90s there were some cross references between Arnie and Sly in their comedies off the top of my head I can think of:

* Demolition Man mentions "President Schwarzenegger"

* Tango & Cash references Conan The Barbarian

* True Lies references Rambo

* Rambo poster prominently featured in Twins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yT723LG74o

 

As you can see it was a running gag.

[Episode 60.5 — Minisode 60.5]

Do you guys think there's a porno called Stop Or My Mom Will Squirt? If not that's a pretty great porno name up for grabs.

[Episode 60.5 — Minisode 60.5]

I saw Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot in the theater when I was 12 or so.

[Point Break (1991)]

We just had this discussion.

[In defense of Nick Cage?]

I don't think of Cage as a tool so much as a resource. A good director can harness this resource to the benefit of the script, but a lesser director will have an explosion of inappropriate Cageyness all over the screen.

[Dunston Checks In]

I wish I had some editing skills because I would like to recut the trailer in a darker direction and change it to a story of a chimp with a heroin habit in rehab. It would still be called "Dunston Checks In"

[Austin-folk: Birdemic 2 Tonight @ Alamo Drafthouse plus Cast and Crew QA/Meet and Greet]

Great recap. What was your question that he seemed to take offense to?

[Austin-folk: Birdemic 2 Tonight @ Alamo Drafthouse plus Cast and Crew QA/Meet and Greet]

So was Birdemic 2 entertaining at all? I have yet to see an instance where someone released something that people enjoyed because it was bad, embraced the attention for what it was, and then made a followup that worked. They usually have to be deluded into thinking that people like it because it's good for it to continue to work (ala Wesley Willis).

[John Carter (2012)]

Except that there isn't a shadow of a doubt that he's going to fight for the side that will allow him to tap that ass.
