    Whoa! I am watching this now and at about 38 minutes the blonde witch declares "Yeah, Dreamcatcher was the shit!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    a) I really hope this leads into a discussion of Dreamcatcher that leads them to finally cover it ala Teen Witch

    B)/>/> I think that Renny Harlin might actually think "Dreamcatcher was the shit," which would explain a lot.

    It's like a weird meta-recommend, like it's been recommended so much that it's infiltrated the universe WITHIN the HDTGM universe to make itself known. That said, I don't think we'd ever get so lucky as to have this happen with "Southland Tales"...

    Killing Joke is outstanding and the love affair I started with Rob Zombie when I was 14 continues to this day, unabated.

     

    That said, the soundtrack is very... 1999 alterna-metal sounding, a very much of-the-time trend, making it sound horrendously out of date in 2006. It was already tiresome when used to fill the Dracula 2000 soundtrack... in the year 2000.

    Speaking of Dracula 2000, didn't that come out in like December of 2000? It was almost out of date the second it hit theaters!

     

    (Holy shit, I just looked to make sure, and it came out on 12/22...)

     

    Also, Covenant may have been about the hundredth movie to use White Zombie's "More Human Than Human".

    What I love about Harlin is that all of his movies are vastly different. They're all shitty, but they're each a unique kind of shitty. It's not like, say, Uwe Boll whose movies all basically just reskinned versions of the same shit.

    Hey, Nightmare on Elm Street 4 is a treasure!

    I'd forgotten that I'd commented on this movie over on that thread a few years ago. From 2012...

     

    "Oh wow, I'd forgotten this one, and with good reason! Everything about this movie is PAINFUL. It's full of scenes where people explain things to each other in a way that you would ONLY talk to a total stranger about things, not like you would talk to your kid or a friend that's known you all your life that you've had the very same conversation with numerous times before. I believe there was a bit where the main kid had used his powers irresponsibly or something, for the umpteenth time, and the mom is all like "Now remember, when you got these powers on your thirteenth birthday, I told you how you must never reveal that you and your three friends, all descendants of the original lords of whateverthefuck, have magical powers..." or something like that. She was practically breaking the 4th wall and telling us to write that down.

     

    There's also some mispronunciations of towns that you wouldn't fuck up if you were a local that you would TOTALLY fuck up if you were just an actor reading off of the page and the director was Renny Harlin. I want to say "Gloucester" was the one in the movie. My dad is from Worcester, which I've seen get butchered a lot in other things, so anything spelled like that.

     

    I think I lost count of all the raining/not raining/raining/not raining edits in this thing..."

    Completely unrelated to this episode, but totally related to one of the more controversial topics in HDTGM history:

     

    There's this new Blu-Ray format that just launched, 4K Ultra HD or something, so the studios of course have a line-up of library titles ready to go for it. The best of the best to showcase their illustrious histories that can show off the power of what this thing can do.

     

    "Sales have been kind of soft? Huh, people just must not be ready for this new format. I mean, our line-up of launch titles was absolutely perfect..." --- Marketing guy from Sony that should be unemployed

     

    Ladies and gentleman, when you're creating a super duper mega sharp ultra HD format for REAL movie buffs, there's only one movie you need to worry about...

    Invasion USA is a better candidate in my very humble opinion. The presence of some real life stories and proper actors add a little too much realism to Delta Force, whereas Invasion USA is just balls-out mental and makes you yearn for the politically balanced, gritty realism of Red Dawn.

    I like how in the documentary they talk about how too much of the dramatic story stuff had to be cut, like it would have been "Saving Private Ryan" or something if we would have been able to see Chuck Norris ACT more.

    Zelda Rubinstein pulls out a book from 1652 to show that they knew each other in a past life. The book had what appeared to be black and white photographs of them and other witches... Photography wasn't invented until the 1800's.

    I just KNEW there was something that didn't make sense about this movie...

    I'd like to point out that Kiki, the head cheerleader/lead in the play/whatever is wicked hot, and probably benefits from not having the unfortunate 80s mall hair that everyone else has. She has kind of a Phoebe Cates thing about her...

    A quick search finds that, good God, she's still ridiculously hot. She looks like she could be Megan Fox's older sister or something...

    abit of a confession here ... i went through most of this film thinking, or at best questioning whether or not if richie was an imaginary character ...

     

    i knew nothing about this movie before watching it so at the beginning i just assumed she was already a witch. so when richie was under louise's bed i thought .. "oh ... she has some sort of annoying imaginary friend/foe".

     

    then her mother came into the room to call her for school and she never even looked at richie ... so again i thought "yep, imaginary friend of some sort"

     

    and i really thought it after the scene when louise came down to the breakfast table and richie was banging pots and pans and bringing mountains of food over to the table and again neither of the parents looked at him or said anything to him.

     

    even at the birthday party no-one even blinked when richie was insulting louise with those classic one liners

     

    i know he wasnt in the movie that much but it wasnt until he burst into the bedroom and asked about the chairs and louise and brad stood up that i thought i had it all wrong .. but even then, brad didnt talk to him or anything so i was kinda thinking maybe through brads eyes the door just opened on its own (cause of a gust of wind or something) and he got a fright cause he was in an awkward situation. (i know, i was stretching it there)

     

    it wasnt until after richie was the butler that someone, his mother, mentioned his name (saying something about him cleaning up). it was then i knew i had it all wrong.

     

    but still, for such a memorable character ... the only person who actually talks to him through the whole movie was louise ...

    So, this was "The Sixth Sense" a decade early? Luis Guzman is the normal one because she doesn't realize that she lost her younger brother, while her parents are totally fucked in the head and acting like absolute weirdos around their remaining offspring because they were traumatized by it. I'm going to guess that the way he went was food-related...

     

    (Sorry, I had that epiphany immediately upon posting my original "Sixth Sense" comment)

    A couple of explanation hopes:

    • What was the saxophone budget for this movie? Every song and every piece of the score had some sort of sexy sax music accompanied along with it. Was this just another way of letting us know that it’s supposed to be sexy?

    • Why did Brad toss boo boo Kate Mara (Luis Guzman)’s soda in the air flipping it around? Super cool helping Fonze the fucking coke machine to get her soda out but to then to flip it so its basically gonna explode now. Dick move Brad.

    I half expected the shirtless sax player from "The Lost Boys" to wander into frame.

    Omission:

     

    Hate to beat a dead horse but with regard to the magic, If water undos Luiz Guzman's spells, doesn't it follow that since everyone drinks water, all spells would be undone? And since our bodies our mostly water wouldn't spells not work in the first place?

    Damn you and your SCIENCE, sir! This movie isn't called "Teen SCIENTIST"!

    Based on the events happening at school (football season to prom) this movie has to cover months right? I'd say it felt like it happened over two or three weeks tops.

     

    Despite all of the things this movie could have done differently there is really only one thing I wanted. During Brad's football practice scene when they cut from him throwing the ball to the stock footage shot of a football going through a tire they really should have played that up. Have him throw the ball, drop and do his push ups, THEN cut to the stock footage.

    Maybe it's like "Saved By the Bell", where it seemed like they were going to prom like seven times in any given year.
