Yeah I was actually looking forward to this movie when Sacha Baron Cohen was attached to play Mercury, and I'm not a fan of his but he could have pulled the look of Mercury off. I'm amazed at how much Malek looks like Mercury and glad that it seems they went with a happy medium in making this movie by having this movie basically be Mercury's story leading up to their performance at Live Aid. This is unlike the original premise which is what caused Cohen to leave the project previously as it was revealed that the surviving band members wanted Mercury's death to be done early in the movie, with the majority of the movie involving the groups performances and story after the charismatic singer's death. I'm sorry but without Mercury there is no story as he was the heart and soul of that group.

FUCK! The ultimate ringer move.

Shit that's a thing?! Now I gotta try for it. Here we go: The kid who played Magic is probably now works as one of those street performers in San Francisco, mainly because child actors weren't really paid that well before the 80s unless they were a big name, and after the breakdancing movie bubble popped shortly after this movie, there weren't many opportunities for him. Does this beat the Stallone robot?

It would make for a good episode solely for the twists stacked onto other twists. Oddly enough, I thought the performances of the three leads were actually pretty good, mainly Pegg and Robbie (at least until the end for her). They were legit trying in this movie in which the story was just non-existent and was only just leading to the numerous twists, one of which was pretty easy to see from the start of the movie.

I believe that was Rafael Torre. Rogan was mentioning how the guy went into the woods with this lumpy duffle bag but when he came back out with the trophy the bag was now mysteriously lighter. It's amazing in the infancy of the internet, these guys were able to make these claims and be believed, Torre had even hung out with actual MMA fighters like Tito Ortiz, because there wasn't a solid way to verify their bullshit yet. What's great now are the guys today who still try to claim outlandish things like being amazing fighters, such as Charlie Zelenoff, who I honestly think is mentally unstable as he has fought honest to god real boxers, like Floyd Mayweather Sr. and the current Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder, and has gotten the shit beat out of him. He then goes on to say with a straight face that he won and various videos were either fake or doctored. Then he posts on his own site uber-chopped videos where he claims he won.

It wouldn't work because they would each say they won and have their own fake trophy or belt to prove it.

And I am not kidding in that there are numerous Getty images from that same red carpet where he is doing that over and over again. It's almost like he saw the Fonz and thought "I wish I was born in that era" and he's just trying to keep the torch burning, sort of like Drisco from It's Always Sunny. Ah Master Po, easily in the top 5 fake fighters behind Frank Dux, Rafiel Torre, Charlie Zelenoff, and Manny Reyes Jr.

Now while this movie is a decent action/crime movie and it's prequel Assassin's Ball is crazier, I'm nominating it for how insane it is with the giant cast that it has. Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven, Common, Jason Bateman, Pete Berg, Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, Ryan Reynolds, Alicia Keys, Chris Pine, Tarji P. Henson, Joel Edgerton, and Booger, are just a few of the names in this movie that has no many oddball things going on that my head as spinning, and I love this movie. You have Jason Bateman as lawyer with herpes on his mouth who spends his whole role in a hotel room with furry costumes and wearing women's panties, a coked out Jeremy Piven having a monologue about the difficulty of cleaning jizz out of a coat, and Alica Keys having a plan to catch Piven involving pussy. There are a enough unnecessary twists and hooker fights to make this a worthy episode and would love to hear how crazy Joe Carnahan was while filming this. What's even better is they promoted the movie as being made by the guys who did Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones' Diary, and that this movie was nothing like those.

I kinda remember the dialogue between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance in regards to Italians being basically light-skinned POC, but at the time I just took it as Hopper's character trying to get himself killed in order to protect his son. It was just weird hearing connected to Luigi who might be the whitest video game character outside of the Rabbids. Though what is without questions is his apparent love of tennis, as shown by the bulge he sports when playing.
-
The only line I laughed at in that whole movie was Gandolfini saying of course his son was traumatized, because he saw his nude mom do a "V for victory" with her legs.

Having now worked in a prison for four years, it's amazing how much is factual while other stuff is such bullshit. Basically Keaton's escape plan could happen where he ingests drugs to counteract anesthesia since inmate have access to Physician Desk Reference books and medication indexes, most just don't know how to use them to the fullest extent. Also, medical drugs are abused in prison and smuggled in as much as street drugs like heroin, to the point we just had a bunch of overdoses from fentanyl at my facility. On the opposite, Garcia would be allowed nowhere near this active crime as he is so personally invested in it. He would have at the least bee sent home as soon as Keaton broke out, and at worst been detained as he was impeding an investigation and manhunt. Keaton would also most likely be killed in the ensuing carnage as the danger of what he would do while free and the immediate threat he is to civilians and officers would outweigh the need of one person.

I think if they do a Christmas flick it needs to be Surviving Christmas, that thing is an utter dumpster fire.

Question: Is Luigi from Super Mario Bros. not white? When Alison said that I instantly went over in my head the hundreds of times I've seen that character and was instantly confused. Also, since the gang from It's Always Sunny have a habit of loving horrible pop culture thinking it's cool, is it safe to assume they got their mindset that dusters are cool from Chilly? And apparently the collar popping is not a character choice but a way of the actor's life as apparently he still does this and this is just one of many shown on Google. Also with the talk about Lamas' dong size, I guess now I know why when I saw him at a comic convention a couple years ago he had a wheelbarrow under his table.
-
Yeah kind of a hard sell where you have a guy with clear psychological issues stalking a woman with homicidal tendencies, and you have no idea which is the protagonist.

What the fuck could have been in this movie to make it 3hrs long?! Is it just unedited long shots of child abuse or do they show Lelee's term paper being written out in real time? I always thought it was funny that the younger brother was hesitant to move in with this family until they showed him that they got him both a Nintendo 64 and a Playstation, then he was on board for whatever they wanted. Interesting thing about Joy Ride was it came out when DVDs were fairly new so the big advertising angle for them were the amount of special features they carried. Joy Ride oddly didn't have many until you realized that one of the three alternate endings it had on the disc was literally an entirely different final half of the movie. Basically after Paul Walker and Steve Zahn go into the diner naked, everything is changed. I was amazed that they considered 50 minutes of new material as an alternate ending rather than an alternate movie.

A rare F rating on CinemaScore and I couldn't agree more. How could you mess up a thriller with two leads at the height of their popularity or near the peak of popularity?
-
Yeah but damn has he been making up for lost time.
-
Yeah I think your right. 1. Commando 2. Last Action Hero 3. The 6th Day 4. Red Heat 5. Raw Deal 6. Around the World in 80 Days 7. End Of Days 8. The Last Stand 9. Escape Plan 10. Collateral Damage Also would include movies like True Lies and Eraser as both are fantastic action films with Arnold really doing well as an actor in them as well. After Eraser is where it starts going downhill for him as next was Jingle All the Way and Batman & Robin and he wouldn't really have a good movie, albeit a crazy one, until The Last Stand. Yeah he was okay in Terminator 3 but he was almost a side character in that movie until the final fight scenes.

Ah the movie that caused Murphy to want nothing to do with Saturday Night Live for over 20 fucking years since he couldn't take a joke. http://youtu.be/eIsTsvno4D8?t=1m7s

The only cool things about this movie were Cliff Curtis, who is just criminally underrated as an actor, and the fact that Curtis kills a dude by making him swallow a live snake. It's truly laughable that Arnold who is a firefighter in this, somehow becomes John Matrix from Commando in an instant and is laying waste to a terrorist organization with no apparent combat training.

Yeah people tend to forget he's the most forgettable part of this movie along with Betty White.
-
If they're doing this I really hope they get around to City Dragon one day which mixes bad 90s hip hop with the horrible production of an after school special and the moral preachiness of a Tyler Perry movie.

I don't know, for me there pretty evenly matched. Vengeance had a lot better chemistry between Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson rather than Willis and the dad from Family Matters. While the original Die Hard had much better gunfights since it was in an enclosed area of Nakatomi Plaza and they couldn't realistically do that in open New York, the tension and suspense was better handled in Vengeance. Although revealing Irons was Rickman's brother was shoehorned and ham fisted. Also, maybe we not have towns not named Gatlin anymore because nothing good ever seems to happen there.

I get that but there have been many historical finds over the years that show at least a few tunnels did exist, though they were usually small, connecting a few houses or to an area outside of a village. And with how loose this movie was in handling historical accuracy in recreations and history class, I would not have put it past them to make that reference.

Question: With the obsession about the Civil War, when Viola Davis showed the secret library and said the tunnels ran all over the country, is that supposed to be a vague hint that this was the underground railroad? Like with how much they talked about how casters were involved in both sides of the Civil War and any other social conflict, would it be safe to assume there was a line cut where they mentioned that the tunnels used to be the railroad and Harriet Tubman was a great ancestor to Viola Davis? Also when talking about the tunnels they mentioned the central hub for the tunnels used to be in DC but Nancy Reagan had them move it in order to reuse them for something else. Does this mean that all high level politicians know about casters? Do you think they had some fairly big name actor as Han Solo's dad, but the actor demanded he be cut from the film, sort of like Jennifer Lawrence had her scenes cut from Dumb & Dumber 2? And finally, is the entire town killed in the storm/tornado/catastrophe at the end of the film? Nothing is ever mentioned about it after Emma Thompson is defeated and we don't see anyone except Han Solo, Viola Davis, and Leena.
