    Schwarzenegger probably has the best ones:

     

    John Matrix

    Howard Langston

    Harry Tasker

    John Kimble

    Ben Richards

    Adam Gibson

    Jericho Cane

    Gordy Brewer

    Ray Owens

    John Wharton

     

    But, a lot of them are prefaced with "My mother was Austrian, and I moved over to America".

    Douglas Quaid from "Total Recall", is pretty unbelievable, but only because I'm comparing him to the only other Quaids I've heard of.

    He also said he tells Taylor Kitsch he's looks overweight when he sees him. I guess to keep his ego in check? Or perhaps for revenge, because he said Kitsch pushed him down a hill in one scene. I don't know, but it sounds like the behind the scenes stuff was more interesting than the movie.

    I have a friend like that that's a wrestler that LOOKS like a wrestler that's probably in the best shape of anyone I've ever met, where you'd have no reason to call the guy out on his appearance, but I'm always like "Your perfect cheekbones make you look fat" or "Would it kill you to do a sit-up once in a while, you lazy son of a bitch?".

    In The Covenant episode you asked if there were any child stars that had successfully entered manhood and appear "manly." Here are some that you may or may not agree with: Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Kirk Douglas, Nicholas Hoult (yummy as the young X-Men Beast), Leonardo de Caprio, Mark Paul Gosselaar, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Peter Billingsley (Ralphie in Christmas Story), River Phoenix (RIP), and Shia Lebeouf. Thoughts?

    I think maybe Phoenix dropped out a bit too early to make a call.

    this is one of the most bonkers fan made trailers ive seen .. and it has a crazy view count ... the fan fiction for this movie must be insane

     

    Wow, that was fucking stupid. Not bonkers or insane, JUST stupid. Most of it is just clips from the movie with stuff from other places that just really, really doesn't look like it belongs. I like how they literally just used the title cards that were already there, and then tacked on what was essentially "...until now!". If it was a real physical thing, it would have been scotch taped onto it and written in crayon. Jesus, and System of a Down...

    Todd McFarlane is in the process of writing a new Spawn movie, and it sounds like a dumpster fire.

    We're quickly approaching the twentieth anniversary of Todd McFarlane telling us what's going to be in this hypothetical second Spawn movie. Unlike Rob Liefeld, he didn't really have a hand in creating any other characters that are getting a lot of attention, so no one's really banging down his door to turn his characters into movies. For being one of the most successful Image guys post-Marvel, he's really contributed very, very little outside of Spawn.

    Let's go back to the skirt-flipping scene for an OMISSION.

     

    In

    , the faceless skirt-flippee is wearing tiny black underwear.

     

    On the DVD, you get that same 1/8th of a second shot of faceless butt, sans-underwear.

     

    So I would ask our hosts and the fans which of the following is the most upsetting:

     

    1) the thought of someone in post-production having to CGI panties ONTO a girl's butt

     

    2) the thought of someone in post-production having to CGI panties OFF of a girl's butt

     

    3) the fact that I noticed this

     

    4) the fact that most of you pervo creeps who just heard about this are going to "fact check" me. You know... for research purposes.

    I would guess that they just shot both versions.

    When they mentioned that this movie was delivered to theaters under the code name "Full Power" and confused Jason, I got a bit confused as well. I realize that they do the code names for huge movies as to try and cut down on people stealing the reels or pirating the film, but that's for huge blockbusters like the Dark Knight trilogy or any Marvel movie, not the Covenant. Did the studio really think that this movie was going to be such a huge success that they needed to protect it with a code name? Also in regards to this being called tween girl porn, it reminded me of an old Five Second Film which is pretty funny regarding the Twilight movies.

    I'd forgotten that the subject of code names had come up, and as you correctly mentioned, it was most common with the bigger films, but even then, it was kind of pointless. It wasn't like they tried to pass it off as a REAL film that would fool anyone, because it was always something totally phony that MIGHT have a pun or reference in it. "Oh shit, I was totally going to steal this theater's prints of 'Lord of the Rings', but it looks like they're getting three screens of this OTHER three hour movie called 'Deadly Jewelry' that I've never heard of that apparently starts on the same day". My theater only does digital now, with movies now remotely uploaded to our server (we used to get hard drives shipped to us every week), and I don't recall any code names since the switch EXCEPT for the "10 Cloverfield Lane" trailer a couple months back, where they went so far as to even call it something else in the file name.

    Those lists are always shite. Apart from the fact that you get bombarded with adware, they have some incredibly lame entries. "Celebrities you didn't know were gay" - Ian McKellen? Oh yeah, he's been keeping that under his massive wizard hat since he fucking came out 30 years ago and started publicly campaigning for gay rights....

    Another one I see a lot is "Celebrity Family Connections That Will Blow Your Mind!" That almost always features Jamie Lee Curtis, who I'm pretty sure was introduced to the world AS Janet Leigh's daughter.

    I know PlanB mentioned Natalie Portman but let's be real she really did stay good looking. I don't think she once ever had an awkward stage.

     

    Yeah, that was one of the ridiculous ones, like if you're going to do a list like that, it doesn't need to include people that A) have been on the scene since they were children and never left that B ) look exactly like their younger selves anyway.

    On the subject of child actors that got hot, I kept seeing an article pop up on different sites that said something like "You won't belieeeeeeeeeve what these former child stars look like now", accompanied by a picture of Natalie Portman or someone that I know I've seen AT LEAST a time or two since they were kids. Anyway, I check out the article (strictly for research, I assure you) and quickly learn that "got hot" means that they stopped wearing glasses, that they got the braces off, that they got a haircut that wasn't indicative of the time when they were popular, or that they simply became adults. Some of them were mildly surprising because there were some real one-hit wonders that I hadn't seen in 20 years, while others (like the blonde side character in Harry Potter) were people that literally grew up right in front of our eyes that have maybe been off of the mainstream radar for a couple of years.

     

    Other ridiculous related lists: "What do the guys from your favorite emo bands look like now?" (Spoiler alert: Haircuts) and "What do Game of Thrones stars look like in real life?" (Also haircuts, and they look like they shower)

    It's been a decade since I've seen this, so I don't remember if they mention the time of year at all, but they are all turning 18 soon, so I assume they're in the middle of their senior year, correct? Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to switch schools in the middle of senior year? It's not like the girl just moved there from the other side of the country or something. It can't be cheap to go to that place, so why bother jumping when you're so close to the end? At that point, you're just buying yourself the right to say that you graduated from this super prestigious private school.

    I forget what I was looking for, but I stumbled across the "Punisher: War Zone" episode a few years ago and was hooked. I believe "Leprechaun in the Hood" was the most current episode at that point, but I quickly caught up on everything else through the back catalog.

    Off topic, but every time I see your Real Genius icon, I smile.

     

    For some reason, it's been on cable A LOT the past two years, & I swear, I have to watch it every time.

     

    I'm like that about Kindergarten Cop, too.

     

    Something is wrong with me.

    Between "Red Dawn" and "Real Genius", there may have maybe been twenty total minutes between 1985 and 1989 when neither of those movies were on TV.

    I don't know, but at least they used another song besides Bohemian fucking Rhapsody for this one. I'm a huge Queen fan, but I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing that, "We Will Rock You," or "We Are the Champions" again.

     

    Buy, yeah, I think (and I could be wrong about this) each song's royalty rights is held by whoever is credited as having written the song. I remember an interview with Freddie where he said that basically whoever came up with the riff got the credit, and they divided royalties based on who got credit.

     

    However, in the late 80s (it was either with The Miracle or A Kind of Magic), they decided to credit everything to Queen, so they all owned a share of the royalties.

     

    Assuming my facts aren't all fucked, that would mean that the estate of Freddie (which, I believe, is managed by Jim Beach) owns the rights to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Don't Stop Me Now."

    On a somewhat related note, TODAY is the 30th anniversary of the release of "Highlander", which like several other movies (I'm looking at YOU, "Iron Eagle" and "Flash Gordon") is perfectly okay, but not nearly as great as the Queen music contained within!

    I watched The Covenant last Thursday, and I wish I could say I remembered anything about it. I guess this movie cast its own special spell on me...

    It's okay. I saw it just once almost a decade ago and remember too much, so I'll carry the burden for us all. I deserve a holiday or something.

    This week's film, "The Covenant", reminds me of another trope that pops up in a lot of bad films, where the main character(s) is set up to be THE coolest or most sympathetic person or the best at what they do in the universe that this movie takes place in, but it's completely unbelievable. It seems to happen the most in total vanity projects ("The Room", "Glitter", "Burlesque", "Cool As Ice") or in movies where the filmmakers don't seem to understand how their target demographic really works ("Hackers", "On The Line", "From Justin to Kelly", "Abduction"). Come to think of it, this applies to almost any movie starring a musician that's playing a non-musician that somehow ends up knowing a thing or two about music and BLOWS EVERYONE'S MINDS.

    This make less sense than the Fast 7 line about the street always winning in a street fight.

    And we all know that even in a movie CALLED "Street Fighter" that a street doesn't even need to be present for such fights to occur. Or something. What exactly IS...ugh, nevermind...
