    See when I watched Best Worst Movie, the convention scenes came off like Troll 2 doesn't have the cult following as it would appear, unlike The Room. I remember seeing a lot of confused faces of people when the dad was describing the movie and his role.

     

    On a side note, I know Heather Langenkamp released a documentary about her life in the shadow of Robert Englund, despite her being a huge part of the franchise, yet the saddest thing I saw when meeting Englund was right next to him was the actress who played Heather's mom in the first Nightmare movie and the difference between his line and her non-existent one was incredibly sad. The only line that was more sad was when I met Malcolm McDowell at Wizard Con, who had no line, and on either side of him was the main line and then overflow line, for Danny Trejo, who was AMAZING to meet in person.

    That's the thing with cons, and they kind of get into that, like what kind of guests do well at which shows. A high B-level horror guy could kill it at a horror con, but nobody might give a shit at a comic or sci-fi show. You would THINK that being set up by the big guest would be good because of all the traffic that it generates, but it could totally backfire, with you instead having to sit there uncomfortably while you're surrounded by people that just don't give a shit who you are.

    Yeah it really wasn't a horror movie because the comedy was at such the forefront, particularly with the the slutty counselor who almost ripping her skin off in order to get naked. Unfortunately some slasher fans are way too into the forest in order to appreciate the trees. Having watched quite a few documentaries on the big series, Friday and Nightmare, in particular, the fans really take it WAY too seriously. I love slashers and those involved with them, my profile pic as proof, but some of the people I saw at these conventions have made it so much a part of their lives, that they were literally shaking and sweating in fear before meeting these actors.

    Those horror documentaries are almost a genre in and of themselves now, and they sort of retroactively add new layers of entertainment to those original movies. It's funny to hear the stories, especially from people that barely or never worked again about working on those things that thought they were really going to make it, because in some cases you can see where they were really swinging for the fences or at least THOUGHT they were. I guess it just wasn't your time, "fourth guy to get machete'd in the back in Friday the 13th Part 7". There's also a lot of crossover between the different docs too, as I remember seeing some people in "Never Sleep Again" that were like "This was the greatest thing ever! Greatest moment of my life! I love doing appearances!" about being killed in Part 5 or whatever that then look completely embarrassed to be at the conventions when the dad from "Troll 2", who found success outside of movies, starts ribbing them on it in "Best Worst Movie".

     

    Oh, speaking of meeting actors and top movies of the year, I haven't seen it yet, but I met an HDTGM alum while working on "Concussion"...

    Seemed like a pretty good dude.

     

    Cheap plug: Feel free to subscribe to my channel on YouTube if you'd like. I work on a lot of independent wrestling shows as a cameraman and then also link to other projects I'm associated with, such as a web series I work on that features some girls that used to be on "Dance Moms". Man, I'll bet that those are watched by the WRONG people...

    When Shaq shows up for the impromptu Flying French Toast breakfast, he introduces himself to Max's mom as "Jefferson Allensworth Lamb: Jefferson for he who founded our fine constitution, Allensworth for he who founded a community of free blacks, and Lamb, because I like to eat lamb chops."

     

    What the fuck? This is basically saying "Hi, I'm a giant stranger that just made up his first, middle and last name. PS I showered in your son's bedroom." Far too trusting, Max's mom!

    If we were to believe him, wouldn't it still be pretty unbelievable that his LAST name seems to be something that he picked that he clearly wasn't born with?

    I don't mean to be cruel to your friends but holy shit. The trailer seemed like it was three trailers that just hadn't been separated yet because the narrator rehashes plot points a few times during it. Also, I like that they basically cut scenes from the "Vietnam War VHS Collector set" commercials that played during soap operas or game shows in the middle of the afternoon. Also why did the bloody mass in the middle of the trailer have three feet? And with what you were saying about the director taking this super serious, it reminded me of this Cracked article concerning the Asylum which makes mockbusters and Sharknado.

    Oh, it's COMPLETELY inept, and like I said, I swear it looks like something I would have imagined as a child that watched too much "GI Joe", where I'm just going to take everything I know that's bad and mix it into one big stew. Vietnam, swastikas, and Confederate soldiers? Eh, why the fuck not?! And every jungle or forest on Earth looks like the woods behind my house, right? Some of the people IN the film are pretty cool and knew what they were getting into, but the ones that actually crafted it are a little out there. Good for them for making some...thing, but DAMN. Let me see if I can find the trailers for their other films...

    Ohh never mind..

    can we have a Shaq off, see who can find the worst Shaq endorsed products.

    I'll start with this..

    as talked about on first link, watch the editing.

    he sure got into that car fast.

     

    Sports illustrated has a list of 50 of the top Shaq endorsements it's mind blowingly crazy

    Has Shaq ever campaigned for anyone running for public office? If so, I guess you could call that a pretty bad endorsement.

    Let's not forget that they also took a historic event that's considered quite important in Japan, and threw in witches and dragons and shit for no apparent reason. Try and imagine if a Civil War movie felt the need to spice up the action by having Bigfoot and yetis helping the Union, and you'll have an idea of why that's probably not appropriate.

    Oh, and speaking of taking liberties with the Civil War, here's a film that was recently made by some people that I know. It's a real thing...

    Please just check out the trailer. I know most of the people involved with this film, including the guy that made it, and trust me, he treats it as serious as a heart attack. It's a movie made by and starring adults (most of whom are great folks that I HOPE were just having fun with it) that appears to have been written by me in the third grade back in 1986.

    just finished watching it .. couldn't help wondering .... who'd win the rhyme off?

    note: to scale (i think)

    Leprechaun by a MILE. He's got a better flow and he keeps it simple! Shaq is hopeless out there and sounds like he has no idea where he's going or what the rhyme is going to be.

    Well, by the early '90s Arnold Schwarzenegger's image had been domesticated, with Kindergarten Cop and Last Action Hero (whose kid stand-in for its own intended audience casually goes to a Schwarzenegger movie, not even with his family, but completely unsupervised).

    No, I meant what happened in regards to Starsky's film directing career. It went from the greatness of "Running Man" to family stuff, as it was followed by "The Cutting Edge", "The Air Up There", and then "Kazaam".

    I haven't noticed that with RT, but my Amazon and Netflix suggestions are wonky because I'm watching such a wide range of stuff, both good and bad.

    Yeah, on Netflix, there's a lot of "Because you watched...", but if Netflix was really paying attention, they'd notice I'd only watched about ten minutes of that.

    Never fear! I've been going backward through the HDTGM archives over the last couple of months (I'm currently on Sleepaway Camp) and I've been taking a note on every movie they've either said they were going to do or showed some interest in doing, and I fully plan on holding them to it. :)/>

     

    Unfortunately, I didn't start doing this until I was well into my re-listening, so I don't think I've caught everything, nor did I think to make a note of which episode they were mentioned, but here's what I have so far:

     

    1) Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

    2) The Happening

    3) Jack and Jill

    4) Blended

    5) Ladyhawke (Although it sounds like they're saving this for I Think That Was Good?)

    6) Tokyo Drift

    7) Bandits

    8) Country Strong

    9) Limitless

    10) Curse of the Jade Scorpion--or other bad Woody Allen movie.

    11) One of the Menudo movies

    12) Teen Witch

    13) Running Man

     

    If anyone's interested, let me know, and I can make a thread and whenever one comes up, we can add to it...or not.

     

    So don't worry, I'm on it.

    Listening to this now and am shocked in the discussion of Max that no one brought up that Francis Capra grows up to become a gang leader Weevil Navarro on "Veronica Mars." Perhaps the genie showering in front of him was what lead him to kill that other guy in the stadium explosion.

     

    He was also in "Crank" so that means he's been in two HDTGM episodes. Add him to the faves, people!

    According to IMDB, Efren Ramirez, ALSO of the "Crank" films, appeared in "Kazaam" as well as a character named "Carlos"

    The correct order is:

     

    1) Han Solo

    2) Poe Dameron

    3) Finn

    4) Lando Calrissian

    5) Young Obi-Wan Kenobi

    6) Wedge Antilles

    7) Luke Skywalker

    8) Old Obi-Wan Kenobi

    9) Chewbacca

    10) Kylo Ren

    11) Anakin Skywalker--Sebastian Shaw and Hayden Christensen (tie)

     

    Of course, this list is just based strictly on fuckability. Now if you want to talk relationship-wise, that's going to be a whole other list...

    Really, guys? No love for Lobot? Am I the only one with a soft spot in my hard spot for Lo'? Sure, when you're Lando's wingman, I can see how you can be overshadowed, because THAT guy gets more 'tang than Neil Armstrong.

    Is liking "Wolf of Wall Street" really the least bit controversial? I understand some people didn't care for it , but a lot of the ones that outright hated it didn't seem to know what they were getting into and blamed the movie for their lack of knowledge instead of themselves for not making an educated decision. I get that at work alllllll the time. What? You based your moviegoing decision on what you were LEAST late for and were surprised that it wasn't something you liked? That happens more than it should.

    Getting back to get a life day.

     

    so Shaquille O'Neal shows up as Chewbacca and life day is saved...

    Boy does that not look like him or what? looking of GIF's on google and found this.

    almost had to go out and buy a new keyboard when I saw that one.

    Chewbacca is a MUCH more intelligible rapper, I'm sure. He also knows what a HAMMER does.

    Do the people at the end of "Man of Steel" count? I'm talking specifically about the two or three extras that are seemingly pinned down by Zod's laser vision at the train station or wherever they are. They have plenty of room to get around, as they could have simply ducked down and gone under it since Zod is unable to move his head, but instead they act like idiots and basically FORCE Superman to take a life.

    I hate when movies and tv shows do that. It's always the worst. Why waste the ending of a movie on a character with no development, that the audience has no reason to be invested in? Never works out well.

    I think I may have said it elsewhere in regards to this movie, but the only thing worse in a movie than the culprit being exactly who you think it is is it being NO ONE, like when the twist is that there is no twist, which means that everyone that's acting creepy or suspicious did so for NO reason. In a better movie, these people would at least be set up as patsies. It reminds of in "Scream 3" where the killer was pretty much the ONLY person not giving a "The killer could be ANY of us, even ME!" speech. If you don't want to be a murder suspect, don't TALK like a fucking murder suspect.
