Please say as John Stewart.

That's what I loved about the ending, was the fucked up Twilight Zoniness of it, plus it was a vast improvement over the ending in the story which was really ambiguous. As far as Stigmata goes, I only remember this as it was the first movie my family got on DVD along with Arlington Road. It's more infuriating that we paid $30 each for those since it was fairly new technology. The ending didn't really make sense because it assumed that the audience held the belief that only the church could offer you the path towards forgiveness and nowhere else. I just imagine that cardinal sending hit squads to every house where a person prays next to their bed before sleeping.

Good thing I've kept all the episodes on my iPod, outside of the minute few I wasn't a fan of to begin with. Hell even still have the now disappeared Smurfs and Green Lantern episodes.

I vaguely remember seeing some of this as a kid and even then realizing that it was stupid, and this was at a point when I loved all things dinosaur. It seemed it was a lame attempt at making a cop version of the show Dinosaurs, and failed on both parts. As for the 33 million dollar price tag, that's not too bad when you consider a movie like Food Fight had a 45 million dollar budget and was released direct to DVD in the majority of regions, except for the UK where it had an incredibly limited release.

Seagal came in third.

Bumping this because I feel it deserves some HDTGM love.

Sharon Stone as a gunslinger with an agenda. Gene Hackman as an old west mob boss. Russel Crowe as an outlaw turned preacher. Leonardo DiCaprio as a Billy the Kid knockoff. This movie is crazy as Hackman holds a quickdraw tournament in the town he runs, with the tournament sponsored by Wells Fargo. Almost every cliche of Western characters is in the tournament. Stone comes to the town for revenge against Hackman while Dicaprio wants to prove he's better than Hackman. There is a bonkers morning after boning scene between Stone and DiCaprio where he shows her that he sleeps on dynamite and there is child rape, just because. Whats great is that the townspeople being lorded over by Hackman want to be free of his tyranny, but in the end of the movie, the town is in the worst possible shape imaginable, basically leaving them with a death sentence.

"It was an accident right? You tripped, slipped on the floor and accidentally stuck your dick into my wife." "Touch me again and I'll kill you." Kim Coates punches Willis again, Willis kills him in a single punch. This movie has some great lines and over the top scenes, please do it.

So why was this episode pulled?

Released in 2000 but looks like it was made in the early 90s, Bruiser is a film made by George A. Romero that comes off like Romero was trying to move as far away from horror as he could. I originally heard about this film from listening to Romero's director commentary on Dawn of the Dead where he lamented that it didn't do well because the studio marketed it as a slasher when it was more of a thriller and study of self worth. Jason Flemyng, in I think his first and only lead role of his career, plays the eponymous Bruiser who is pushed around by everyone until he one day wakes up and his face is stark white, a blank slate. From there he takes that to mean he has to get revenge on all those who wronged him, including his wife and boss who are having an affair. It starts out pretty decent, but then gets muddled after he first gets the white face, because no one either notices his face or they aren't too put off by it, until he is killing them. Other insane things in this movie include Peter Stormare running around a busy street in his underwear yelling at cops, a costume party for Stormare's company which features The Misfits wherein one of the bouncers gets in a fight with a band member, lasers that are used to cut open pinatas and then kill a person, some of the worst disguises ever used by movie characters that I have ever seen. The movie is on Amazon Prime Instant video or if you don't have that it's pretty cheap to rent. It's definitely worth a watch as this was Romero's first movie after he did The Dark Half almost a decade prior, and his usual social commentary is laid on pretty thick in this movie. I do feel kinda bad for Flemyng because he is actually pretty good in this and tries to make the best of the role, but unfortunately he's only really been a character actor before and since this movie.

I'd never seen it before before this last Sunday, since I'm not into musicals, when I had to run this event at my job and I can't believe how many times I looked up at the screen and asked myself what the fuck was going on. Reading the wiki they say the movie was an allegory of Chicago corruption and fake celebrity, but it just came off as a two hour fever dream. Though I will admit the ventriloquist dance number was pretty inventive if not nightmare inducing.
-
If they ever do an Oscar winner I would almost suggest Chicago, because after having to watch that for work, all I can ask is how the fuck did that movie win Best Picture with how batshit that movie is?
-
That's a great movie, but I'll admit there were times where I was like "holy shit I may need to stop watching this" because as June would say it was really upsetting. The scene with the pipe in the car was just brutal. While not anywhere near as well put together as Devil, I can only recommend seeing Mark Duplass in Creep as he was able to come across as an amazing psychopath who always leaves you guessing what the fuck is going on, and even though the movie is barely over 70 minutes long, the level of uncomfort that he's able to create makes you realize you probably couldn't watch any longer.

Not to be mean but I think that is the perfect definition of a first world problem. I find it unfortunate that the schedule has changed so much over the last year and a half, but at least it's not as bad as a couple years ago when there were weeks between episodes. As for this episode I thought the sound quality was similar to the first few live episodes where they were still getting the hang of being in front of a crowd, overall good episode and thanks to the hosts for at least mentioning that Norris, while almost always shown holding a gun on the cover of his movies, almost never uses them. And as far as his writing goes, I know he has written at least one Western novel since the library I work at purchased it a few years back, though I can't vouch for the quality.
-
I think with the guns, and I myself am not an expert, but there is a theory that if a magazine is loaded and left unused for a long period of time, in this case decades, the spring would lose tension and the gun would jam up. As for putting C4 in the walls while they build the headquarters, I think it would be more dangerous to do so as how would you arm the explosive, it couldn't be timed so it would have to be remote detonation, which could cause the explosive to go off prematurely if someone were to accidentally use the same frequency, whether it be from a cell phone, radio receiver, etc.
-
This would be a perfect double live show pairing.

Yeah apparently tai-chi and treating everyone with "respect" doesn't stop a bullet to the back.

I remember seeing this as a kid, when I thought almost all movies were good. Looking back now this movie doesn't even hold up to when it was released. This was his first movie in three years since To Wong Foo and by that point his resume was very spotty, so I assume they were trying to make him into an action star with this. Meatloaf is really an untapped source of comedy for this show because he has some truly outrageous roles, like as The Lizard in Formula 51. Side note, when searching for Swayze on IMDB I typed in Patrick on the search bar, but he was still only the third ranked "Patrick" on the site behind Patrick Wilson, which makes sense because he's been working quite a bit the last few years, and then Terra Patrick, porn superstar, is first person who shows up when looking for "Patrick" on the site.

Yeah it's nowhere near Steel level of fail, but also remember that Steel wasn't the biggest hero even in that character's peak. Fantastic Four is one of the marquee Marvel properties and for it to make only 26 million is a huge letdown. It can save itself by breaking even, which would probably be around 240 million worldwide, but even then that can't really be considered a win for Fox considering the history of this franchise.
-
Damn, with a opening weekend of 26 million, this is going to be a huge bomb for Fox. I mean looking at Box Office Mojo, the lowest opening of a comic adaptation of a known comic was Steel at 870K, but for a major series like F4 that is miserable. The only major series adaptations that did worse are Howard the Duck, Elektra, Superman IV, Jonah Hex, and Punisher: War Zone, with a bunch of smaller adaptations sprinkled in. After his recent tangents, I wonder if there will be a director's cut of this movie similar to the Rogue Cut of X-Men: Days of Futures Past, because I've read that there were some big action scenes cut from the money, so I would be interested to see what those were, if they actually exist. I was really bummed at how Doom finally looked because they basically took the early concept art of of the infected astronaut in Prometheus and sorta shaped a mouth on the face. As for his powers, Doom's powers uses sorcery and electricity to hurt his opponents and it seemed sort of a mod of those powers, but they NEVER explained what he could do. Although I will admit that his killing spree scene was maybe the best scene of the whole movie, next to the kids, because it became so over the top violent in comparison to the rest of the movie.

The one thing I did kinda enjoy was the brief glimpse of the future nutjob Reed would become from the opening scenes of him as a kid. I thought that actor did a great job showing the side of Reed that thinks he knows better than everyone and takes being called insane a compliment. That made it seem like they were taking the character in the right direction and then 90 minutes later it's just the same shit I've seen twice already. I think it is time for this franchise to die and never come back to the big screen.
-
I just saw this and it was a giant big pile of meh. I was surprised I liked the actors that they chose for the main roles, especially Toby Kebbell who I felt was really good as Doom, despite the horrible face design that they ended up with. I thought the CGI for Reed was terrible and very dated while The Thing looked and moved like the robot from Judge Dredd, and I found it odd that his voice changed multiple times over the course of the movie. Also can we point out that The Thing is basically a nude eunuch as he doesn't have his signature shorts and you can see his ass cheeks numerous times in the movie. I was also disappointed in that it was what I feared in that it ended up like Hulk where it was about 40 minutes before they got their powers and the movie leads up to a very ho-hum climax.
-
I believe they are trying to get that crossover going.
-
You're right, I got the Hulk movies mixed up, but still 30 minutes can be just padding especially in the Hulk movie which was mostly dialogue, which is what this F4 movies seems like it's going to be a lot of. My main problem is that the team even though they predate the X-Men by two years, I feel they are the lesser quality team. While they had Dr. Doom and Galactus as villains, only hardcore comic fans can name any other serious rogues the team had while the X-Men had a bevy of villains and foils to go against the team. The other problem is that the F4 is going through the same thing that happened with Spider-Man in that we already saw an origin story and the main villain, what else can you give us and Sony hasn't been able to come up with anything. I'm hoping that Marvel does another deal with the company as they had with Spider-Man and would love to see a current age Reed Richards where he's the know-it-all dick who's a member of the Illuminati or when he brought the zombie virus into the Marvel Universe, because that was the only time his character was truly interesting.

Fantastic Four is only 10 minutes shorter than Incredible Hulk though (1hr 45 minutes for F4 compared to 1hr 55min for IH), and while it took 45 minutes for the Hulk to appear to fight Hulked out poodles, I guess nothing really picks up in F4 until over an hour into the movie, so that has me kinda worried.
