Funny how the crew is ragging so hard on Oscar Issac... I think he's turned out pretty alright, guys. Inside Llewyn Davis sits at a firm 94% on RT, up there with all the Coen brothers bests, and he's going to be in Star Wars Episode 7.

So much yelling and cursing in front of a small baby.

That song at the end is very disturbing. Its supposed to be a kids movie about a magical kids toy turned into a kids pal.... but he's singing like an old fashioned, croonery lounge song with this husky old man tone. Since when do kids like that? I think the real backstory to this is that some unsuccessful, poor, perverted lounge crooner from the 50s died via auto-erotic asphyxiation while cranking it to some kids show and his spirit was then transported into the body of a teddybear 60 years later.

The long awaited return of Crazy Nick Cage. You guys have let him toil in the shadows long enough. Come July 11th, its time to take it back to where it all (sort of) started.

"In this violent crime drama, the residents of a New York City housing project live in fear of The Vampires, the brutal gang that continually terrorizes them. Things change after an insurance agent and a telephone repairman end up trapped there. Perhaps things would not be so desperate had the fellow not accidentally offended one of the gang members."
Β
The telephone repairman is played by Ray Parker Jr, most well known for penning the infamous lines "I ain't 'fraid of no ghosts!" That's right, the man that wrote the Ghostbusters theme song stars in this truly INSANE Warriors-esque, Escape From New York wannabe film.
Β
The real scene killer in this one; the two heroes in a desperate escape attempt, smash through the window of an adorable pair of 7-8 year old girls, who upon seeing the intruders crash through their window, cuddle up in adorable fear and shriek the lines "ARE YOU GOING TO RAPE US?".
Β
Its all up on Youtube, guys.

Any Godzilla movie that tries to take itself too seriously is going to suck. I'd rather not watch this period.

Β
There's not a single surprising or believable romantic moment in Blended, but Sandler and Barrymore almost sell it anywayβtheir two-overgrown-dopes routine has its charms. I definitely wouldn't say I recommend it, but if you're stuck going to it with your kids or significant other, the good news is that it's more tolerable than you probably expect. When it comes to an Adam Sandler film, that's practically a rave review.Grade: C.

HDTGM the official winner of the rivalry against HIMYM. It was never a competition.

I don't know if I can bring myself to watch this one.....

Oh man, when I was a kid, I used to love this movie! I do NOT recall an almost-rape scene at all, so clearly I need to rewatch this.

I'm not a big Amy Poehler fan, but that actually does look pretty funny. And also like a movie I would go see in theaters alone amongst a sea of couples.

I'm also upset that nobody talked about all the weird random self narration that Willis's character would occasionally do. Like sometimes, he thought he was in some film noir and the directors didn't have the balls to tell say "No, Bruce. No".

There are absolutely no therapeutic discussions of any level of relevancy throughout the course of this movie. There is no advice given, there are no exercises or analysis. Its almost like Bruce Willis and Scott Bakula are con artists fleeing the law, and they go to hide out in Miami of wherever and end up stealing the identities of 2 actual therapists (presumably played by Kelsay Grammer and David Hyde Pierce) and stumbling like the bumbling con men they are into that established web of group therapy insanity.
Β
Actually, that would have probably made a lot of the story make a lot more sense, and would have given at least SOME level of threat between the Hispanic cop and Bruce Willis (if he was a con man on the run) instead of the weird, sort of tepidly erect dick of a buddy cop dynamic they ended up having (and also with the black cop, but no idea about that character).
Β
Maybe this movie just needs to be re-edited to make a story that makes sense. Maybe you can edit in scenes of Willis getting out of jail from Hudson Hawk to establish him as a con man.

Ok this episode really fucked up my understanding of this movie, beyond a sleepaway camp type later.
Β
Dale and Richie-Rose were banging??? I didn't take the "I wish my brother didn't love me so much" as a "he's banging me" thing.... and when did Dale suddenly become a victim of Needlemeyer???
-
I must have watched some heavily edited version of the movie.
-
This is currently on USA, and it's just as bad as I recall this episode makes it out to be.

Willis and the girl are looking through the photo album...

"I forget that he's dead..."
Β
Wait what??? You are living in his fucking house! You're driving around in his car! You took over his job! You are banging that bitch on his couch!!! How can you forget he's dead?????

I think the most bonkers aspect of this thing is its view of mental illness and therapy, honestly. It's like if you asked a 13-year-old whose most in-depth experience with psychiatry is reruns of 'Fraiser' to write group therapy scenes, this is what you would get.
Β
Β
You insult a tremendous TV show, sir. Frasier's view on therapy was never as fucked as this.
Β
The shit in this movie makes no sense, what kind of therapist IS Bakula's character, exactly? All of these people in the room have such radically differing afflictions that its impossible to string together any common thread amongst them that would indicate what Bakula was treating them for as a group. Its not like couples therapy where several married people with relationship problems have a session together... or a phobia's group or something. There is no shared experience with any of these guys, just a bunch of people with random afflictions being forced into a room with a therapist that doesn't really seem to care.
