After just watching the Crystal Lake Memories documentary (and if you are a Friday fan of any kind you should go buy it as well as it's really good) it was interesting to hear why they made this movie like they did. Apparently 3/4 of the movie was originally going to take place in New York, but the people financing the movie wanted to keep it fairly low budget like the rest of the movies so it kept getting cut back more and more to then where it was less than 1/3 of the movie. And from interviews on the film, apparently the this and a couple of the movies before it the directors had real problems with the associate producers who were constantly having rewrites of the scripts and butting heads with the various directors, which further hurt the final product.

Yeah, he actually has like a traveling wrestling/church. He came to my town a few years back and the first half of the show is basically a full wrestling card featuring guys like the Honky Tonk Man and himself including some current wrestlers. After the show he then holds a sermon that the audience is free to leave if they just wanted to see wrestling. I would have loved to see the show, but they didn't really promote it as well as they should have so most people only found out about it after the fact or if they were regular church goers. It's a weird thing with wrestlers, after they leave the business they fall into one of a few categories: a combination of down on their luck guys who wrestle in high school gyms and get in trouble with the law, real estate agents, or pastors, fo the most part.

I honestly think that's where they got the technique for Gerard Butler in Olympus Has Fallen as he stabbed everyone in the head as if they were a goddam lobster.

This is why I so wish that the show had a new full episode every week, because there are some truly great horror movies that could be done in October. I remember checking this out as a kid when I started getting into horror and watching all the old slashers, and I was so confused by this movie since Michael wasn't in it except for the original movie showing on various TVs throughout the movie. I will admit though that the ending of this was fantastic with the main character calling the TV stations telling them the pull the commercial, two of them do it but one doesn't seem tho be following suit and it built some tension as a couple kids were watching in front of him as he's screaming into the phone as it cuts to black.

Since the Seagal cherry has been popped with Glimmer Man, why not go for another with Under Siege. While it was his most critically successful and highest grossing, it is also batshit insane. From Gary Busey in drag and commenting "that these panty hose feel really good, to Tommy Lee Jones dressed as a blues rocker and Seagal talking like Cajun chef, this movie has a ton of WTF moments. It was especially weird to see Jones like this as this was just after JFK and just before he did The Fugitive, though he would follow that up with Blown Away, which could be an episode all its own. Also this movie really has a great "fuck physics" moment when two of the terrorists get locked in a meat locker by Seagal and then proceed to shoot through a steel door as if it's made out of tissue paper.

I agree that TD was the worst of the series, which is saying something about a series that hasn't really been good except for the last two movies.

No it was Casey Novak (Diane Neal) who was on both regular Law and Order and SVU. Another thing I loved about this show was how all of the main detectives minus Munch begin to reveal that they have been molested or attacked. Their stories change so many times it makes me wonder if the characters are making it up in order to get information from people, which is fucked up, or that it has happened so many times to them that they are basically dick magnets, which is just as fucked up. Even more fucked up is when these marathons come on USA the ads joke about how these cops don't care about civil rights as long as it gets the job done, and the announcer says this in a way as if he's announcing a children's show. I mean, fuck laws and rights, right?

I love the Law & Orders and CSIs for their comedic spots. Similar to how Commando was a movie based almost on one-liners, these shows are the same with some fast science thrown in. It's why I love NCIS so much as it points out those tropes while having some of its own. Every L&O and CSI episode starts with random joe finding a body, cut to start of investigation and "too soon" one-liner, then lead to half assed science/investigation and the ultimate reveal. As for actors appearing in the shows again, the biggest one was the redheaded DA who was originally on the show as a ringleader of angry women who would torture men. SVU in particular likes to get on a moral high-horse about shit as well. I remember one episode where this Latino kid, seven years old, ends up shooting a black girl at his school with a gun he found. They begin investigating because there is an underlying reason for how he got the gun. After seeing that he was trying to kill a guy who he watched killed someone with the gun prior, they let the kid off and the mom of the dead girl is fine with it. Then the Latino kid is killed by a random black kid out of revenge making the whole morality tale worthless. Then there was the Michael Jackson episode where a famous toy maker, who looks like Jimmy Fallon, is charged with molesting a kid at one of his themed costumed parties. Then another kid comes out and says the same thing. It's then revealed the girl's mom, played by Shirley from Laverne & Shirley, was making it up in order to get a payoff from from the molester to pay for her daughters cancer treatment. The detectives basically give her a "fuck you and your cancer kid" speech because she ruined the investigation and then said "we are just gonna wait for him to molest again." And I can't remember if it was from the first or second Evening with Kevin Smith where he talked about his love affair with the shows. He asked if he could have a part in an episode and when he was asked what kind of part he said he wanted to be the quick interview guy who talked to detectives while doing a mundane task, because that was his favorite part of the show. You can still find the clip online .

I think it would just look like this.

STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE! Thank Christ they are finally doing Congo!

The peeper was gut stabbed if I remember right. Also being the horror nerd that I am, I bought the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash graphic novels. This is what was made after plans for the movie fell through. They basically pick up after Freddy vs. Jason and Ash is thrown in because he thinks Jason is a Deaddite and has to stop him as Jason continues to fight Freddy. The sequel books is a love letter to fans of all three series especially Friday and Nightmare since it features a myriad of survivors from the previous films. My nerdiness came out as during one part in the book a character uses the necronomicon to summon the souls of those that Jason killed and one of them was the tourniquet kid. The second I saw that I called bullshit as Jason had not killed the kid, I then instantly felt ashamed of myself for knowing that so readily. I honestly hope they do this and Return to Sleepaway Camp for October.

Yeah there are shots from the set, mainly on whatever character Russel is playing.

I honestly think the HDTGM universe would have imploded if he got the part. Plus, if Crank 3 ever comes out, what kind of tragedy would it be if the Paul, June, and Jason, didn't get a role in it?

Well considering that it went from 0% to upper 60s is quite a jump. True it doesn't compare to the original but is a decent attempt, especially considering the abortion the first cut was.

The director's cut is actually a pretty decent version of the movie. They completely remove the alien subplot and replace it with them being from the past. They are then punished and sent to various points in time so as to be unable to earn the Prize easily. The jilty fight scenes are also cut together to be more fluid and the subplot about deadly radiation is actually given an ending where it's revealed there is no more threat of it and the city shield in unnecessary.

If they do cover this movie, it would be the highest rated film done by the show by a long shot. I mean, how the fuck does this have a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes?!

They tried that with the Matrix Online which did okay for a while but was soon deserted save for the most die hard Matrix fans. Aladdin was good because as it's been stated before Disney knew who its audience was. That game was hard as fuck when you got to the bone graveyard.

That's always been the biggest consistency in video games, if it's based on a movie it's probably shit. Especially in the late 80s-mid 90s when there were a lot of adaptations, most were in the so bad they're good category or just plain shit category. E.T., Friday the 13th, Hudson Hawk, and Toys were some of the worst ever made, though Friday the 13th is pretty funny to play nostalgically. Rarely were there games that were able to be good adaptation, but when they were they were fantastic, though that may be just in comparison to other adaptations. The early Jurassic Park Games, True Lies, and more recently the Riddick games and Jaws Unleashed were all really good. Toys: the game is just a nightmare machine. Oh and why is Robin Williams' character wearing Robin Wright's clothes?

DON'T FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! There have been countless shitty games based on movies, but this one takes the fucking cake. Go on youtube and just type in toys the game or toys game review and I can guarantee that none of them feature the game past the first level. The reason being is that the game was done on a isometric plane so character depth was all fucked up making it incredibly hard. Your character couldn't beat bad guys without total luck but for some reason they were crack shots when it came to hitting you.

Pet projects almost never work because the person whose pet it is is given almost complete control over the final product and are too in the woods to see that it sucks. Battlefield Earth, After Earth, and so many others are given the green light solely for those who are involved in the film rather than the substance, and they suffer because of it.

Having bought this DVD for 4 bucks since I love guilty pleasure movies, I can attest to the fact that nearly every trailer/TV spot for this movie was what Paul was talking about. They're all about 30 seconds long and feature almost ZERO footage from the movie. The first trailer is basically a student art film where you see Robin WIlliams walking in the hilly hallway wearing the smoking jacket and then then pulling the lever for the rolling stairs, it then cuts to Gambon saying Toys and then shows the title, that's it. Everything else after that is Williams standing in the field just doing his comedy bits where he does different voices and says Toys. There are 5 or 6 of these fucking things on the DVD followed by a TV spot that is slightly longer and shows a bit more of what's actually in the movie.

That's usually the cause yeah. Most people give pro wrestlers crap for having scripted matches. What they don't realize is that in order to properly take a bump, it takes months of training just to get your body used to it since the human body will naturally and involuntarily try to protect itself. Add to that that there is no "off season" for pro wrestlers and that many work hurt for lighter injuries, nothing like broken bones or torn muscles, that they try and cover the pain to keep working. Probably one of the most infamous addicts was the British Bulldog, who after shattering the lower part of his spine in a match, became addicted to a laundry list of pills, and only got clean after his wife OD'ed herself to prove a point to him. The WWE now has a great system where any former employee can receive rehab free of charge, mainly because it became such a huge issue.

Worse, he was photographed a couple months back in the New York Subway with a little table set up hocking pictures and autographs for like 5 bucks, as it seems he lost his gym teacher job at a high school. Watching Beyond the Mat was tough for me because Jake Roberts was my favorite as a kid and to see him like that was horrible. Though it seems he's seriously trying to turn it around, he's been up and down for years. More shocking is that outside of a few guys: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Bruno Sammartino, almost no wrestler has lived past the age of 65, whether it's due to drug problems, suicide, or an accident.

Yeah the toys seem to offer very little user interaction outside of the novelty toys. Most of the toys just seem like wind-up toys that the kids watch for a couple seconds.

Holy shit I just thought of something. With the numerous times we see replicas of rooms inside the same room, do you think it's possible that they had originally planned to do a pull away shot that revealed the entire "Toy World" inside a snow globe in the middle of the normal world? I mean they show snow globes a couple times in the the movie that feature the world so it would make sense that they would want to do that shot, but maybe just ran out of money.
