    Are you SURE you made it through the whole thing? Or do you just mean it isn't in this clip? Because man, that pretentious musical number happens, and it happens like a motherfucker...

    I just meant in that clip. I sat through that Killers bit, and I hated every second of it.

    I watched this movie last night and it pissed me off, it was so epically bad. Its intensely confusing and directionless, almost to the point where it feels like Kelly is punishing people who dare try to gleam anything other than dumb loyal enjoyment out of a movie.

     

    This scene is all you need to know about this movie, in a perfect nutshell. It surmises this movie perfectly. The Rock's cool guy persona and sudden shift to nervous cartoon character, the bad hammy acting from the girl, vague sci fi references, non sequiturial vulgar sexual references that are completely unprovoked and without any merit or weight on the story or anything, random acts of ultra violence.... the only thing its missing is a dumb, pretentious musical dance number to (insert modern pop song here). Pure bullshit, and people label it as art like that gives it diplomatic immunity. Well, ITS JUST BEEN REVOKED.

    Maybe my recollection of this movie is off, but I thought this movie was BAD with a capital "fuck". The CG was awful, the premise was bizarre, Nic Cage didn't have any freakouts I dont think... in fact, his entire performance was only a hair more energetic than Mr Mackey on South Park. Its like his Wicker Man performance without the Bad Lieutenant change up. Very little made sense, and the plot twist at the end harkins back to those days of late 80s/early 90s sitcoms.

    You tempt dark fates with this recommendation, fool.

     

    This movie was very much so a giant commercial for Super Mario 3 and the Power Glove, and 80s kids like me not only knew it... but we openly accepted it and REVELED in it.

     

    Who cares about what the story is, or about Fred Savage and that chick from Rilo Kiley... this movie taught me how to do the level warp trick, and for that it will always be an A+.

    Really funny episode. Also wasn't mentioned but Lance Bass is listed as an executive producer on this film.

     

    In January 2001, Bass formed his first film production company, A Happy Place, with film producers Rich Hull, Wendy Thorlakson and Joe Anderson.[45] The company was geared towards family-friendly films,[36] and received the Movieguide award for "Excellence in Family-Oriented Programming" for its first feature film, On The Line.[46] After On The Line, A Happy Place changed its name to Bacon & Eggs[45] and produced its second feature film, Lovewrecked, in 2005.[47] The film debuted on the ABC Family Channel in January 2007, and starred Amanda Bynes, Chris Carmack and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, with Bass in a minor role. This too received mostly negative reviews.[47]

     

    This family friendly bend does not jive with the notion that this was once a rated R movie. What the hell happened on this movie???? It almost seems like an R rated movie was written and abandoned, then Lance Bass's production company was given a copy of it to translate into a PG film to save time on having to write an original movie.

    By the way, I dont recall it being brought up in the podcast... but was that little boy's presense on the train EVER explained?? Why is Lance Bass and Joey Fatone sandwiching a random 6 year old boy on a train, who is somehow eating McDonalds and throwing down life lessons on weird girls on the train? Where is this kids parents??

    Due to the potential subject matter of this week's podcast here's a preemptive advisory for sensitive listeners.

    I'm sure if any Ned Flander types out there was so outraged by the gang's edgey comedy, they would be able to find some advice on any action they could take, if any, on LegalZoom.com. Remember to use promocode "Earwolf".

    This movie was awesome .... this and Cyborg are really the only 2 JCVD worth watching ....

     

     

    Some guy: But I heard you can get killed at that Kumite.

    Jackson: Only if you fuck up.

     

    Whoa, you're nutso if you think there are only 2 JCVD movies worth watching!

     

    Try Lionheart, man... Hard Target... Universal Soldier... Time Cop... or JCVD, which is a legitimately good movie!

     

    Also, I just watched a jcvd movie that is up on Netflix called Assassination Games, came out in 09 i believe.... nothing mind altering, but a pretty good boiler plate action movie.

    The trailer for part 2 was just dropped and, well... come ON guys. You are going out of your way to avoid this one. Its going to happen.

     

    Go ahead and get 1 done first....

     

    ...and then when 2 hits the theaters, queue this bad boy on up and drop it like its hot while its fresh.

    Sorry to be one of the ones who completely derailed the conversation. But instead of complaining about the fact that people aren't talking about the movie, why not try and get it back on track by actually talking about it?

     

    On topic: has anyone here seen the two-hour director's cut? Is it better? Worse? I feel that the elements in play in this movie prevent it from being good in any stretch of the word, but maybe it at least makes more sense?

     

    I would also love to see a documentary about the person who thought introducing Marxism into the movie was a good idea.

     

     

    Dude, I have NO idea why Dinklage's being a Marxist was ever introduced into this. It was one of those things that made me feel like the movie actually wasn't taking itself seriously. Its like when Vern Troyer shows up in a movie in a firefighter or lumberjack costume, or a basketball jersey.
