I'm still constantly shocked that people genuinely like this movie. It's like you can feel it trying to make itself "edgy" and cult-y, and utterly failing to be any good at all. Also, Joan Jett appears for no reason and doesn't do anything.
-
I second "Over the Top." He drives a semi-truck into a mansion, for pete's sake. Also, "Cobra." A cult who plans to take over the world by killing random people. A fashion shoot with robot props. Sylvester Stallone cutting a slice of pizza in half with scissors.

Revolver MUST be done. What crap that was.

Tim: Don't forget "Dildos," "Adios" and "Amigos." (Sensing a trend?) And also, melting a cat. And toilets. I haven't read the original comics, but the recent reboot was actually pretty good, and according to most it's a good representation of Eisner's intents. The movie was NOTHING like it.
-
I saw this movie this week. I'm not sure if it's quite crazy enough, but any movie that could conceivably be called "Over the Top" with robots needs to be considered.
-
This movie has to be done. Especially to get an opinion of it that doesn't use the "whoreswhoreswhores" joke that everybody on the Internet took from a comic.

Well, part of the deal Boll used is that it's a tax shelter. The investors could borrow money to invest in his films, then if it flops (which, given that it's Boll, is a guarantee), they could write it off on their taxes. That loophole was closed in 2005, so how he still gets financing is beyond me.

Blasphemer!

Honestly, I haven't seen this. But it would probably be a great episode if they got Louis C.K. to talk about it. From what I've heard, the studio took it away from him in post-production and he agreed with Roger Ebert's line in his review that the film was not "in a releasable condition."

Um... why does it say "Bonfire of the Vanities" but it's a thread about "Drive?" (By the way, "Drive" is great and wouldn't fit on the podcast.)
-
How did it get made? Well, it was the late 60s. That's about all you need to know.
-
Ah, "Top That..." Or, as I like to call it, the whitest rap ever committed to film. (I especially like the line "Look how funky he is." It sounds like a line out of "Black Dynamite.")

But this movie has drug addicts trying to steal Bob Hope's stool sample, armed with dustbusters! How can you not love that?
-
I like that George Clooney still makes movies that don't appeal to the mainstream audiences, like this and "The American"... and then they open wide anyway. This movie isn't for everyone, but I like it, and I don't feel it would make a good episode. Not enough weird, WTF stuff.

I think Dan Harmon (the creator of "The Sarah Silverman Program" and "Community") put it best: "HOP: 'He shits jelly beans.'" ... "Shitting Jelly Beans Into Theaters Everywhere This Easter. Easy Way to Remember: Resurrection of Christ."

After two "Boyz n the Hood," I figure we need a different kind of hood. [attachment=9638,212]

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)

"Kevin Cline?" I take it you mean Chris Klein. -
I concur with Evie. I liked it when you did the poll on Facebook, even if (as I recall) the one that got the most votes ended up being the nothing of a film that was "Jonah Hex." If you guys put up polls for, say, the Christmas episode (also, please tell me there will be a Christmas episode), I'd totally vote for it.

Someone else mentioned that the scene Warwick described was from "Back 2 tha Hood." I just thought I'd point to a video recap/review of it that makes it sound even more racist than this one: http://www.agonybooth.com/video_shows/Mr_Mendos_Hack_Attack/Leprechaun_6_Back_2_tha_Hood.aspx
-
If you guys do this one, be sure to mention that it cost $120 MILLION to make. (Although, according to Wikipedia, about $20 mil can be knocked off that figure once you figure in tax rebates. Which, obviously, makes it more sensible.)

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (2008)
sillstaw replied to mdrew1120's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
My problem with this choice is that it was too successful. So many people have seen it that, by this point, talking about its WTF moments just doesn't have that same amount of surprise to it. -
Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011)
sillstaw replied to brendan.orourke's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I'd love to hear this one happen. Especially if they talk about Swardson's bitter insistence that the critics who gave it a 0% RT rating wanted to hate it, and how you can't compare it to "Avatar" or "The King's Speech." As Richard Roeper put it on his Twitter, "Dude, you didn't even screen it for us." -
I really, really wish Rutger Hauer's classic action film "Split Second" was available on NetFlix Instant or readily-available DVD. Where else will you find a main character who consumes nothing but coffee and chocolate? Or a villain who turns out to be a "Predator"-esque alien monster despite being able to go through a crowded club undetected in an early scene? Or a setting of a near-future (now past-future) London that's been flooded due to global warming, despite the flooding and the global warming having nothing to do with the plot? Oh, yeah, "Hobo with a Shotgun." Yeah, that was crazy. Might make a good episode.

Redefining what it means when an episode "drops." (Or "plops," as Doug Benson likes to say.)

Sadly, neither "You Got Served" nor "Breakin'" is on Watch Instantly... but "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" is! I nominate that one, based solely on its legendary title. Alternately, "Roller Boogie" (which also is on Netflix), which combines the silliness of roller-rink dancing with a bizarre, tonally inappropriate, melancholy last scene. And it's got Linda Blair!
