Episode 10 — Why So Many Good TV Shows Have Bad Endings
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to JulyDiaz's topic in The Cracked Podcast
I don't know if anyone else here watches "Parenthood", which is a great show, but it always seems like they're on the bubble and never know if they're coming back until they've wrapped shooting the season, but they do a pretty excellent job of tying up current storylines while still leaving things open to continue of need be. I thought the last season of "Dexter" was dog shit as well. On top of NOT going in the direction that it should have and the big bad being some dude that pops up in the last handful of episodes, this season really turned Dexter himself into an absolute fucking idiot. The facial recognition software thing MAY be the cheesiest mention of the series. It also seemed like many of the episodes that had cliffhanger-type endings ran about a minute too long to where we'd see the outcome or resolution of the current predicament, meaning no suspense at all. If the plan was for Deb to die, I would have almost preferred that she'd killed herself in the season 7 finale instead of La GuertA, so that we could have had a completely unchecked, unhinged Dexter going into the endgame, which would have been way different but probably better. -
InAPPropriate Comedy (2013)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to hillmancobs's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Years ago, on one of the work computers at my theater, we replaced the word "Enter" on the keyboard with "Billy Mays", and only managers can see it. In those years, several people have become managers, and no one has ever questioned it. Other items no one asks about: a blown-up picture of some fat kid's college ID that we found, a snow globe with a picture of me meeting Ron Jeremy in it, a picture of one of the other managers and the members of Fishbone in front of our theater in 2000 when their bus broke down and they killed time by watching "The Nutty Professor 2". Whoops, sorry about the double post. -

How about THIS: What IF it was the other way around? What if they were dead set on that first scene and couldn't figure out a way to write themselves out of it? You know the old saying: "If you introduce a seemingly extraneous flag-waving ceremony in the first act...".

I think the ad for that thing ran nonstop on Stern's E! TV show for YEARS. After that show was done, I never heard mention of it ever again. -

Battle of the Year (2013)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to visibleotters's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
If it wasn't played straight, that would make COMPLETE movie sense, and this rag-tag group would win the competition with their bizarre hip-hop/soccer hybrid dancing that would win over the hearts and minds of the judges for no other reason than that's what happens in every movie just like it, because all teams are the same! You coached a soccer team? You can coach a dance team! You ran a black ops team to assassinate the dictator of some third world country? You can coach the SHIT out of a dance team! A leader's a leader! -

Episode 75.5 — Minisode 75.5
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
That seems like the equivalent of if every character that was ever asked to do anything stopped to tell you they were now taking the first step towards doing it. "Get my wife on the phone!" "Well I would have to dial it first." "See what's on the news." "First, I need to change it to the proper channel." So there's literally a line of dialog in the film where that guy pretty much says he has to turn the computer on? -

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to Dylanbydesign's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
It's like all of the "...of the Dead" stuff written by the guy that ISN'T George Romero. The comics are good and trashy, but "Children of the Dead", which spins out of the additional material shot for the 30th anniversary edition of NOTLD (think "Star Wars" special editions) is a hate crime, and I was never into "Return of the Living Dead", except for part 3, which he didn't have anything to do with. -

PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to Dylanbydesign's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Maybe I was thinking for of the weird Stonehenge cult stuff from "Halloween 3". Still, people think all the recent remakes are raping their childhoods? All the shitty overconvoluted sequels of my teens years did a far worse job of that. I'll take a bland rehash over a continuation of "Jason Goes to Hell" any day. -

"The Color of Money"! -
I wouldn't narrow it down to JUST those two, as every Wayans has something as equally bad. Damon's got this, Shawn and Marlon have "Little Man" and "White Chicks", and Keenan's got "Glimmer Man" and that "Most Wanted" thing where they were trying to push him as a dramatic action hero. All of the Wayans' have a different kind of terrible that they bring to the table!

Battle of the Year (2013)

The most entertainment I got out of this film was from the seniors that come to my theater that buy tickets based on the title alone for anything that sounds like it might be a war movie. Not quite what was expected... -

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to Dylanbydesign's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
This was right around the time that EVERY slasher franchise was getting unnecessarily supernatural, even if they were supernatural to begin with. There's what you mentioned here, and then you had Jason become a body-hopping demonic force of nature, while Michael Myers was the (dare I say) hatchet man for some druid cult, and Freddy Krueger was invading the real world. Leprechaun and Pinhead were all "Fuck this noise", and headed off to space. Thank God for "Scream" coming along so that everyone could spend the next few years ripping THAT off. -
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to Dylanbydesign's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Part 3 was pretty weak, and my gore hound 12-year-old self even thought it was pretty bad. I remember there being a lot of controversy about the violence, so it was a must-see, but it was really kind of tame. I think it's more interesting to watch now though as a Viggo Mortensen flick. As far as the series goes, pretty much EVERY movie after the second one is essentially a remake, and like "Halloween", it seems to coast a lot on the goodwill of the original. People got all up in arms about the Platinum Dunes remake, but even if you like the second one, the 2003 remake is AT LEAST the third best in the series. "Next Generation" is pure dog shit, and it looks like it was shot on a camcorder. -
"Krull" came before "Aliens" though, so it's the other way around. Yeah, "Aliens" ripped something off from "Krull". Think about that. Again, "Krull" does not get the love it DESERVES!
-
I just wanted to bump this, because after seeing all the Asgardian stuff in the new "Thor" flick, the mishmash of mythological themes, space ships, laser bazookas, and fantasy creatures, it makes me really, REALLY want to see a "Krull" remake...after I watch the original another 7 or 8 times...

Duncan did a hell of a job of selling it. He sold it HARD. I mean, he gets his knees crushed and then he falls down TO his knees, right? Double ouch. This reminds me too, if June didn't know what a street fighter was after seeing the JCVD "Street Fighter Movie", I'd hate to think what kind of confusion "Legend of Chun Li" would have caused.

So would anyone else like to hear....

Given her knowledge of gorillas, I think June's Mail Chimp pitch might be more convincing. Most of all though, I'd like to know how Stamps.com is dealing with the breakup. Has anyone talked to them?- 2 replies

Mr. Nanny - "He’s big, he’s bad, and he’s babysitting!"
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to TerrenceO'Quinn's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I think it would play out a little differently nowadays. The story of a guy with "wrestling induced PTSD" in a post-Benoit world? I'm thinking less slapstick comedy, more psychological horror.
