    I was listening to the CBB episode Tony Macaroni from a couple weeks ago where Nick Kroll noted the fact that we shed 1/2 pound of skin every year. I know all of our blood gets created pretty frequently and our skeletons completely change every cell out every 7 years (http://stemcell.stanford.edu/research/).

     

    So in this movie, you can't touch yourself in the past (uhhhh... you know what I mean) because "matter can't occupy the same space at the same time." Isn't that a massive plothole then? I think maybe just some cells in your brain stay the same. This whole movie is bullshit

    This movie is so goddamn bad, I really don't understand the love for it.

     

    It has this progression for the middle hour where the guy walks around and does creepy stuff, then they show a static vignette of something that is supposed to be gross, then the crew reacts, then the guy walks around all creepy like, then they show a static vignette of someone who died, then there is a reaction - repeat repeat repeat. It's so boring.

     

    It is like a haunted house - the kind you walk through when you're 7 years old and they have stupid little scenes set up for you to look at. I've seen more convincing death scenes at the Salem Witch Museum. Anybody who has been there knows what a next level insult that just was.

    Adaptation is a masterpiece

    Lord of War, the Weather Man and Matchstick Men are not crazy

    Making fun of Bad Lieutenant and Wild at Heart would run you the risk of being accused of "not getting it"

    Windtalkers and World Trade Center are too delicate subjects to mock

     

    I knew I should have looked at IMDB before I wrote my last post. A WTC episode would probably make the news

    I always assumed that this movie was good.

     

    Some friends put it on once and were all raving about it and swearing up and down that the rest of us would like it. I came away perplexed that anybody could like this movie. I am so glad to see the low rotten tomatoes score, I never thought to check back on it. I just assumed people liked it and it's oddly validating to see so many people shitting on it. I say this as a Kevin Spacey fan who is really against the death penalty - it's just a contrived, holier than thou mess that totally distorts a serious issue.

    Don't forget Tom Arnold!

     

    I saw DMX randomly at the Warped Tour when I was like 16 or something and even though I wasn't a fan, I have to say he was an absolute amazing stage presence like you've never seen. I remember being really blown away by him. It sounds like his intensity spilled a little out of control though with all his fake FBI arrests and what not. Still, this movie is bonkers

    Why do you never use any suggestions from the Bad Movie Recommendation forum? It's pretty lively and there are some good suggestions on there. There are the obvious ones like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen* and Dreamcatcher, but also some creative suggestions like The Man With the Iron Fists, Bird on a Wire and The Wraith. You have a great resource set up and it's weird to see it ignored for your Twitter feed, which is about 1/3rd as good for suggestions. I've listened to this podcast since episode one and it's something that's been bothering me.

     

    *You have to do this movie eventually, just get it over with

    I'm not sure if most people can stomach this movie. I put it on thinking it was a kids movie, but holy shit this movie is the most sadistic thing I've ever seen. I Googled it after the fact and it was apparently made in Japan with no supervision whatsoever.

     

    *Crabs were straight up torturing the cat and dog

    *They threw a cat and a dog into a river in a little box, which then runs into a real bear, then they try to show the pug dog "fighting the bear" which is just the dog basically drowning in the vicinity of the bear. The dog looks like it was clearly swiped at one point

    *A bunch of seagulls might have killed the cat at one point

     

    and the piece de resistance (don't watch if you're squeamish):

    Seriously, what the fuck? I remember watching this as a kid, how did nobody think this movie was a bad idea? And Dudley Moore's cheerful narration while the animals are getting mauled makes it super creepy

    What's funnier is the fact this movie is sold on the idea of a person having access to 100% of their brain, but in reality humans DO use 100% of their brain, just not all at the same time. I assume if a person did use 100% of their brain all at once it would look something like this.

     

     

     

    Sort of like that, but it was more along the lines of the people who did the original research in like 1890 or so just didn't have the equipment to accurately measure brain waves and only picked up like 10% of them, then people ran with that forever.

     

    The best part of them using this as the basis of their movie is that it is the main tagline in all the ads and I hear it like 20 times a day, but I don't have cable or listen to the radio. Somehow, the ad is just everywhere.

    To go Todd Glass on everyone, I am just going to say this movie wasn't for me. I can't say it's bad and a lot of the problems people have pointed out on here are actually things that were totally explained in the movie. That being said, I personally didn't like it.

     

    My biggest problems aside from the ending were things like how the costume and set design were really well done, but then the special effects looked like complete and utter shit. The turbines for the engine in particular looked like a 90s screen saver. Or how bad the acting was in the beginning, although that got a lot better as it went.

     

    Also, they did unnecessary stuff to explain the plot, like how the train gets its water from smashing into ice blocks. That is annoyingly stupid and the last thing that the train should have a problem with is a water shortage. The entire planet is snow. It's a dumb plot device to keep Chris Evans moving forward, which they didn't need. Or the limb out the train torture pod - so Ed Harris designed that thing to be implemented in the train from before the world was even snow in the forethought of terrorizing the proletariat caboose into a revolution so he could have hatchet wielding soldiers attack them with night vision goggles when the train goes through a tunnel? But he also admits that the revolution population control method wasn't developed until later? So did they cut the train open while it was moving to put that hole in recently?

     

    These are really nitpicky, but things like this kept taking me out of the movie. I should have probably just relaxed more.

     

    Also the ending should have been Chris Evans accepting title of Conductor and then stopping the train and everyone getting off the train together. The real ending was a very odd choice.

    Brian's ass is fucking weird looking... During the small Bob & David Mr. Show tour thingy they did, we all had the honor of getting an eyeful of, what looks like, a very pasty white moon full of craters. Brian in hot pants is something you cannot unsee.

     

    ... There was not much play on this episode, which, I'm guessing there was not much to really tackle anyway. I think the next episode will have more, since it's an entirely new continent.

     

    I was just coming here to comment on how awesome Brian looked in his jewelery and halloween 2 t-shirt. Dude is hilarious about it anyways, see: his routine on night digging

    I like the direction this episode is taking us. More of the Roc stuff, plus the promise of a new land to explore and new adventures. It makes the past several episodes feel like a prologue to a bigger, more cohesive adventure to come.

     

    Also, I'm wondering if, since Gerry won't be around for a while, it wouldn't be better to part ways with Winter for a while. Maybe get a new regular on the show? A cleric of some kind?

     

    Also, you should switch to 5th edition! It's really cool, simple, and there's only, like, one other D&D podcast playing 5th right now (I see you, Pretend Wizards).

     

    At the end of "Season 1", Brian was saying that there were going to be one of special guests for one or two off episodes and new people playing with the group, etc. So far, we have had Brian's son for about 20 minutes and nothing else. Granted, the series is picking up steam again but it would be cool to even get something like Sark back playing a PC.

    Michael Keaton / Harold Ramis make this enjoyable just through sheer personality, but it's not a good movie by any means. There is a ton to cover in this movie though like how nobody noticed that there were 4 Michael Keatons except for like a waiter in one scene, the gay stereotype and "special" stereotype clones, etc. Overall though Keaton wills this movie to be watchable so it might not be the worst pick.

    So for most fighting video games, people have these horribly nerdy message board fights where they try to rank everyone in tiers. Look up Marvel vs. Capcom 2 or Smash Brothers and you will quickly understand. or not.

     

    Anyways, I thought it would be fun to try to come to a consensus on what the tiers were for the different characters that have appeared on the show. So it would be like:

     

    God Tier:

    Jesse Ventura

    Don Dimello

     

    High Tier

    Buddy Velastro

    Traci Reardon

    Cyber Thug

     

    Medium Tier

    Beuford

     

    Low Tier

    Sappity Tappity

    Caine Sherman of the Historical Society

     

     

    At first this was supposed to be a celebration of the people that are great at it (Ventura is Sentinel) but I'm scared it's just going to end up being mean (Sappity Tappity is servebot).

     

    Does this make sense? I'm kind of bored
