The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to GOZU's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
As I said before, I wouldn't have known that it was a real thing if we hadn't had the giant talking standee in our lobby. That said, I'm STILL not sure that "Dino Time" is real. Look THAT thing up. We had the standee, never saw the trailer at all, and it was seemingly bumped from it's alleged first week of December (or as I like to call it "The Punisher War Zone Memorial") death slot last year into an abyss from which it never returned. Box Office Mojo isn't even sure if it exists. -
Episode 63 — Fast & Furious 6
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I was listening to an episode of "Doug Loves Movies" from last week, and the guys went off on the bullshit little nuggets of wisdom that Rock and Diesel dispense throughout the film. One of the best bits was when they said that you don't need wolves to fight wolves, you need busted-up little airline liquor bottles sticking out from between your fingers to fight wolves. Also, EVERYTHING was about family. -
Episode 63 — Fast & Furious 6

He was in "Hellraiser: Bloodline" the same year, the final theatrically-released installment in that series. That's right, Adam Scott is a franchise killer! -
In the case of "Watchmen" though, I get the sense that Snyder really wanted to put as much out there as he could in terms of doing the complete story, so I'm a little more forgiving of there being the extended cut of it, because I don't think the theatrical version missing key elements was necessarily his fault. Even at nearly three hours, it was pretty heavily cut, and while it's a shame we didn't get the whole thing first time out, it's still kind of admirable that the studio let him put out a trimmed-down version of the film that was THREE HOURS long, you know? When does that ever happen really? They had such high hopes for it and Snyder was riding super high at that point because of three hundred, so they let him get away with quite a lot.

I actually like "Watchmen" more with each time I see it, the further I remove it from the source material and take it as it's own film. That's about the time that I stopped re-reading the graphic novels right before watching the movies, because you're almost looking for reasons to not enjoy yourself, y'know? There were a lot of good "making of" books and things that came out that show a lot of the siiiiiick level of detail that went into that movie, only to never really be seen, which is a shame, even in the nearly 4 hour Ultimate Cut. It's also one of those movies that's crazy long but doesn't really feel like it to me, sort of like "Scarface", because I guess I know every beat of it by now.

I would like to believe that in foreign territories, the "Paul Blart" franchise is several installments deep. "Zookeeper"? "Paul Blart: Zookeeper". "Here Comes the Boom"? "Paul Blart: School Teacher"!

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to dohaj's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I think it was a first-person shooter for the Game Boy Advance. Speaking of odd movie tie-ins, there was a Zelda-like James Bond game from 1998 or so for Game Boy that was pretty awesome. -
This one's already got quite a thread going. It should be around here somewhere...

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to dohaj's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
My boss keeps rotating out posters for terrible, terrible films in his living room at home. The last time I was over, he had this, "Alone in the Dark", and "Extreme Ops" all in a row, in frames no less, which is far more than they deserve. "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" has always been a running joke with us, like we're holding out hope that one day there will be another movie called "Ballistic (colon)" featuring two completely different people versus one another. -
That kid's made some serious bank. You'd think he'd be wearing something a bit more...screen accurate? That's still closer than Terrence Howard ever got to putting on the armor...

Behind the Candelabra
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to jarrycanada's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Hour and ten minutes in, Douglas is hanging out at a dingy glory hole, and he's glowing like all those people on Krypton at the beginning of "Superman". -
So he DOESN'T say "Welcome to Erf!"? That's all I need to know *sigh* If I was going to Earth in the future and lived in a universe where Will Smith had existed as a popular actor that starred in a certain film where he knocked out a giant alien with one punch, I would be saying it ALL the fucking time. Oh, it'd be funny at first, but then it would get old, REALLY old, before it turned back around to the point that it became HILARIOUS because I had committed to it so completely. And then I'd take it too far, and my fellow Earth explorers would murder me.

Behind the Candelabra
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to jarrycanada's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I missed it when it debuted this last weekend, but I'm watching it right now, and holy shit, Michael Douglas in that scene is the sparkliest damn thing I've ever seen. And then his equally shiny doppelganger shows up?!?!? Forty-five minutes in, Rob Lowe just showed up. He looks kinda like Michael Jackson... -
At ANY point, does the older Smith say "Welcome to Erf!"? He should. He just fucking should. I fully expect M. Night to show up in a cameo as the guy that explains everything...

Still not enough Rooftop Tuxedo Football for that to be accurate

At the time that this came out, I'd watch just about anything (I was going to school and working at the theater), and this was one in a series of several "worst movies I've ever seen in a theater" that came out over a very short period. I specifically remember "House of the Dead" being out around this time, as well as the first "Underworld". A quick check of what Box Office Mojo shows as being out that fall stirs up repressed memories of having also seen "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star". Thanks a lot, Box Office Mojo. You asshole...

I liked the film, but the handheld approach just seemed pretty weird. I mean, the stuff that WASN'T being shot by the characters in the film looked exactly the same as the stuff that was, so it kind of betrays the gimmick. I got used to it, but I really think it would have been more effective if they'd actually mixed filming styles, like it could've cut back and forth between gritty and in your face when you're seeing a character's POV to cleaner and more cinematic look when it pulled back to show everything that was going on. I don't know, maybe that would have been too jarring. That reminds me, I haven't watched "Natural Born Killers" in forever...

Episode 63 — Fast & Furious 6
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I think the next one should just be "VII". Of course, Roman numerals haven't been used in the numbering AT ALL in this series, but it'd hardly be the first time that something didn't make sense. Hell, the title could just be a sound effect. What sound does an explosion make? There you go, slap THAT on the marquee. -

Didn't a car get pushed off the top of a parking garage or something too? That ALONE was more impressive than anything he did with cars in "Saw". -
Episode 63 — Fast & Furious 6
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I was pretty psyched when I got to work in "Abduction" BECAUSE it was a John Singleton film, but then I saw the finished product. It's like his career stuck an M-16 in it's mouth and went full auto. -
KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978)
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to MuscleCarist's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
While available in bootleg form for decades, it was officially released as part of what I think was Kissology Vol. 2. I'm pretty sure it was that volume, because it had all the good (as in bad) shit on it, including Phantom and the post-makeup neon years. -
Episode 63 — Fast & Furious 6
PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I also just remembered something else. At the end of the first one, doesn't Vin Diesel (or rather, his stunt driver with the bright yellow helmet) get hit by or ALMOST get hit by a train? Yeah, those things really have a tendency to sneak up on you when you're tearing ass from a quarter mile away...at 5 miles per hour... -
So there are hooker fights in this and it's the only movie you mentioned that Hugh Grant ISN'T in? That's his thing!

PlanBFromOuterSpace replied to admin's topic in How Did This Get Made?
While he certainly has improved, I'll always remember "Saw" as having one of the most astonishingly bad "chase" scenes ever. I mean, I know they shot the film for no money whatsoever, and most of the REST of the film looked pretty good considering, but if I remember correctly (and I probably don't), Danny Glover was chasing someone in a car that was essentially just sitting there in a warehouse with like a couple of PAs shaking the thing. I don't remember a whole lot from "Death Sentence", but the vehicular carnage was certainly more impressive. -
HEY! There is no such thing as watching "The Shield" too many times!
