You could always just be "Off the clock" black guy, where you just walk around shirtless with a towel, constantly opening letters.

Well, I like plenty of the Nightmare movies, with 3 and 4 probably being my favorites, but by the time I was old enough to know what was going on, Freddy had kind of already become a joke machine, and a lot of that early spookiness had gone out the window. Jeez, to be a kid in the late 80's when Freddy, Robocop,and Rambo were all being marketed DIRECTLY to kids by way of toys, Saturday morning cartoons,and video games was fucking nuts...

I remember seeing "Executive Decision" in the theater and being so surprised that Seagal got killed off immediately, but then I saw it again recently and was so surprised that he was even IN it, because I'd almost completely forgotten about that first 20 minutes or so.

If anything, I would love for them to have Jamie Lee on to discuss "Halloween: Resurrection", because she probably hasn't seen any of it past the first 5 minutes.

I wish I got carried around like I won the Super Bowl every time I got a letter from MY dad...

That town was like a great big chicken, just waiting to be plucked...

Not from "Disorderlies", but rather another 80's flick I grew up on. I wish I was old enough to remember a time when Freddy wasn't a fucking live-action cartoon character...

I've been watching a bunch of random episodes on Netflix lately, and I used to watch it quite a lot when it was on Comedy Central, but it pretty much ceased to exist to me when it got bumped to Sci-Fi, as I didn't live anywhere that had the Sci-FI network until after the show had ended.

Yeah, seeing this movie and the types of dudes that are sporting this shirt made me feel so much better about my ability to pull it off myself. Me and some friends (through eternity, loyalty, honesty...) might try to go as Dragon Sound for Halloween. As of right now, we're exactly 1 Asian guy and a black dude short though. I wonder if my ex's brother is up to anything...

Not since this album cover have I seen so many dudes running around shirtless that shouldn't be running around shirtless...

"My mother was Korean...and my father was black-American..." The magic begins around 0:50...

This may be the weakest reasoning for a HDTGM suggestion that I've ever seen.

On my homepage, I currently have the categories "Scary Amateur Detective Movies" (about the only time you'll ever see "Zodiac" and "Howling IV" mentioned in the same place) and "TV Shows For Ages 11 to 12". I'm in my mid-thirties and I've maybe watched kid-oriented stuff a half dozen times in the 4 years I've been using Netflix. I...I just don't understand...

A lot of that was straight to the home video market though, so I wouldn't really wonder why there were like 11 "Bring It On" and "Scorpion King" movies or like a whole spin-off franchise to "American Pie" (the answer is "cash grab"), although I do think it's interesting that it's very existence probably hurt the potential box office when "American Pie" actually had a PROPER sequel after nearly a decade of dormancy. Also, Universal seems to be the biggest offender when it comes to these. I WOULD like to see a focus though on franchises that continued to have theatrical releases after jumping the shark, such as: -Friday the 13th: Every installment going back to about 5 seemed to get weirder if you look at it. You had a Jason movie with a Jason impersonator (5) before the return of Jason proper in what would become the iconic super zombie form (6), who would then face off with Carrie-lite (7) before running off to Manhattan (8), only to be revealed as a demonic force of nature (9) and then inexplicably returning from Hell, only to get frozen for hundreds of years before being unleashed on a spaceship in the future (10). Sometime between 9 and 10, he fought Freddy Krueger and co-starred in a very special episode of "Supernatural" (remake). -Halloween: Like "Friday the 13th", it was a simple slasher franchise that started to derail somewhere in the middle, but never quite made it to space. While part 3 is often looked at as the standout, as it LITERALLY had nothing to do with anything else, I think that part 8 would provide the best material for a HDTGM. It's Dangertaining! -Jaws: The only series where the shark managed to jump ITSELF. "Jaws: The Revenge" was already covered of course, but man, it was fuckin' weird getting there, and I think that part 3 was the REAL "How Did This Get Made"-worthy installment. -Universal Soldier: I'm SORT OF bending my own rule here, but there were two theatrical installments, and I think it's a rare case where the series actually got BETTER with the limited release/VOD/straight-to-video/whatever movies that followed. The first one was great 90's action by the director of "Independence Day", "Godzilla", and at least 7 other movies where the White House and/or New York get destroyed, and easily top 3 for each of the leads, JCVD and Dolph Lundgren. The second was fucking garbage (with an awesome soundtrack), but still worth talking about, while the third one (after a couple of TV movies that usually don't get bunched in with the legit ones), "Regeneration", was a down and dirty, gritty Bourne-like adventure. The fourth one, made by the same team as the one before, shifted gears again, mixing hard sci-fi, horror, and some of the sickest fights committed to film to come up with something not entirely unlike "Apocalypse Now". Great stuff. Saw: A simple, clever little flick that spawned a franchise that managed to get completely up it's own ass within four movies, and then kept going for another three. I'm sure there are quite a few more, but these are the only ones I have sitting on my shelf at the moment...

At first, I read that and thought it was Jason Segel's voice that was turning you on.

Nolan's big third act revelation hinged on that, so of course he was going to deny, deny, deny, when he really just shouldn't have talked about it at all, because we had that in our minds the whole time, and the reveal was pretty anti-climatic because of it. If Whedon is doing the same thing, it at least feels like a plot point that isn't nearly as important if Pym DOES end up being involved, so it's a bit more forgivable. As someone said before though, it would kind of be disappointing if it all DID tie into a character that just showed up five minutes ago, and so far the Avengers-related movies have done a better job of building on one another than just pulling something out of their ass like that.

I think they just meant during his initial run when he was pretty popular. "Glimmer Man" was right at the tail end of that, and then "Fire Down Below" was the last time he made an appearance in theaters until about "Exit Wounds" in '01, I think. That actually did pretty well for reasons that can't quite properly be explained (the dream team of DMX and Tom Arnold?). "Half Past Dead" rolled over and died, showing what a fluke "Exit Wounds" was, so Seagal went away again for a very, very long time.

"Fire Down Below" was Seagal's last studio movie! "On Deadly Ground" was early '94, I think.

It definitely does seem like something that came out ten years before it actually did, which reminds me, I really need to give "The Net" another spin...

If he's sneaking up on them and still manages to be a glimmer in their EYES, he's not that good at sneaking up on people.

I didn't know what the twist was, and I had no interest in seeing it, but at my theater, total mindfuck twists seem to generate a lot of "That was the BEST ending ever" discussion amongst customers coming out of movies, whether they're good or bad or make any sense or not. It's like the stupid popcorn movie equivalent of someone dying at the end of a chick flick. You just have to send them out on that note, and that's all they seem to remember, and that's enough to trick them into thinking they just saw something amazing.

It sounds like something crazy that someone that just won the lottery that has no interest in hanging on to the money would do, like the guy that started up a women's wrestling fed a few years back... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestlicious

Even during a Sharknado, the water is only ever about ankle deep and has a tendency to NOT be there in any given shot.

I have no IDEA how I missed this the first time around, but yeah, the artist on "The Boys" patterned Hughie directly on Pegg, and Pegg even did the introduction on at least one of the collections. Garth Ennis, the writer and creator, is probably my favorite writer of all time and has done a lot of original stuff that would be well-suited for films or TV series. Speaking of Wright, I think "The Boys" is actually right in his wheelhouse, as it's heavily satirical and perfectly breaks down the genre while being an incredible superhero story on it's own, which is funny, because Ennis alleges to hate superheroes. For more on that, check out his first four years or so on "Punisher", before it got all "realistic" and stuff, which was also an excellent run. "The Boys" does go into some CRAZY (Under Siege 2...) dark territory, and may be a bit too disturbing for someone with Wright's sensibilities, but I could still see Pegg falling right into place, no matter who ends up making it.
