One of the greatest HDTGM episodes and and one of the greatest JDR moments isn't only 'What is a Street Fighter' but the keen observation: Boxing gloves. It seems like you would wear boxing gloves for inside fighting. Not outdoor street fighting. (sorry if I'm not quoting exactly) but holy fuckeroni I was crying laughing. June is pure awesome and made this one of the great episodes ever!

Just throwing this out there - the actor Christopher Kirby did a good solid job IMO and might be a breakout comedy/action star given a few more good roles: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0456130/ But i bet he regrets being a ridiculous Lucas-contrived ethnic galactic senator in that Star Wars Prequel: I dunno.. I'm still calling this a good fun B-movie. But I also loved 'Mars Attacks' which many seem to hate so.. there ya go

The visual effects are fairly decent - i liked the look and feel. Acting and directing were fairly good and I liked the pace and nothing came off as bad. Of course the premise is ridiculous. But the only problem - as far as an HDTGM episode - its deliberately ridiculous and silly. It's meant to be a hilarious goof. This is different from 'Birdemic' where the director sincerely felt these birds would be terrifying and genuinely believed coat hangers would be a real choice inside the world of Bird attacks. If you see what I mean. But yeah.. actually surprised how fun and entertaining Iron Sky is.

Episode 16 — What am I? On a Podcast?
therealjayknox replied to admin's topic in The Fogelnest Files with Jake Fogelnest
I've edited my own post down to this: Fogelnest & Kindler + Douchebag Comedy Clips = the greatest funniest damn thing ever podcasted. Please I beg you make Andy Kindler a regular co-host. -
Episode 24 — That One Guy
therealjayknox replied to admin's topic in The Fogelnest Files with Jake Fogelnest
I didn't know what a Fogelnest was but saw Stoller, downloaded and was absolutely delighted to find a new favourite podcast - scary how much Fogelnest knows his stuff and of course The Stollerman is the greatest thing ever made! -
The Happening - (it's never happening, but talk about it if you want)
therealjayknox replied to temjeito's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Oh oh. In fact, I loved the original story concept (where people in deep love could resist the plant toxins) and what's more I love the cast and the look and feel of the movie. I also loved some individual scenes. Liked where it was going. Have no idea WTF happened but heard that M.Night was taking too long and was basically told to finish it ASAP and that he better show some big cash box-office. So, he pretty much stopped making the movie (creatively, working on it, etc) and just threw it together with as many outrageous shock and gore moments as possible. whatever made an awesome trailer. But the frustrating thing is that this had everything I needed to be one of my all-time favourite M.Night movies and... oh nooo... it fell apart on the rails! -
It might have been on one of the podcasts but the baffling title choice seemed the biggest problem. John Carter: Warrior of Mars. Call it 'John Carter'? Or what if we called it 'Warrior of Mars!'. Nope.. just call it 'John Carter'. I gotta say it - I thought the movie as pretty good overall and I'm with Lando - I enjoyed it more than Avatar. yes.. some dumb stuff, lame parts but not bad for a goofy Sci-Fi!

Bad Movie Recommendations Tournament of Gold
therealjayknox posted a topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I have an idea! Taking our already-existing pool of bad movie recommendations and narrowing them down to some kind of Top 10, Top 5 Also a #1 Only problem is that I suck at math and/or tournament formulas. Anyone know how to do this kind of thing? I'm guessing everyone starts by putting down their 10 picks yes? Then some OCD nerd among us makes a list and we narrow down etc etc? I'm going with: Return to Sleepaway Camp Sleepwalkers John Carpenters Vampires A Talking Cat?! Miami Connection To Catch a Yeti Star Wars Holiday Special because I don't think Lucas can sue anymore Superman 4 (the one with Pillow-Man) Kiss meets The Phantom of the Park Dreamcatcher Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star This is from the recommendations we have already. Again, sorry I don't know how to compile and do tournament stuff so someone smart needs to help please. -
Yeah I actually remember being hugely disappointed in this stupid movie - I will watch it again just to see if it really is as bad as I remember it.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
therealjayknox replied to roswellxavier's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Same for me. In fact, those might be the only 2 Star Treks I liked (of the former series/cast). I kinda liked that new reboot though. -
Bad Movie Recommendations Tournament of Gold
therealjayknox replied to therealjayknox's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I'm liking Johnny Unusual's scheme where everyone's picks get some kind of score etc. I don't understand the math but I think he's got the right idea.. ...However, if Shannon is hooking up a sweet integrated site voting thinger then that's awesomeness! *my only concern with any voting thing is that it ends up being not just HDTGM style picks but always 'Avengers 2' and 'Promethius' or just basically any new movie that - while not deliciously bad - is simply relatively unpopular or controversial, but, then again forum members here always seem to get it. (although the 'Spice girls Feminism complaints' were pretty weird you guys) -
Running log of recommendations
therealjayknox replied to FuriousATG's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
It asks me to vote on 2 movies (which is better). Thats 2. There is about 1000 bad movie recommendations here. So we have to vote 500 times? And why do I have just 10 votes reserved? -
Running log of recommendations
therealjayknox replied to FuriousATG's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
the only thing with uservoice is that it seems to allow about 10 votes per person after you sign up, register. 20 movies (in either/or choices) and we have about 900 bad movie recommendations. Does that take a super long time before its narrowed down to 100? -
Oh its terrible, bad, cheap, weird, ridiculous and might be one of my all time favourite most awesome movies of all time! *But that still makes it HDTGM worthy because I have to admit 'Sleepaway Camp' is also one of my new favourites all-time awesomely bad movies. Rowdy Roddy was actually pretty damn good in this. I put his performance well above most sports/wrestling acting attempts I've ever seen.

Bad Movie Recommendations Tournament of Gold
therealjayknox replied to therealjayknox's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Okay I think I got it: But we need to start with some kind of narrow-down super pool. About 50? It would be too much to just list the 1000 altogether in the topics. So I'm thinking everyone just keep listing their Top 5 or 10 'by hand' and then compile those. Then I think we can paste a poll. -
All I know is the title alone made me want to punch something!

I don't suppose there is any debate about whether Spice World was doing a 'Hard Days Night' genre and surely everyone understands that. I'm with Paul and the gang - yes, we know what its trying to do and be. It just failed. Either it didn't work, or it worked but poorly or not enough. Often I got the sense that they were just hiding behind the 'Hard Days Night' self-effacing 'send up of ourselves' concept to cover up fail. "Heres a dumb thing.. hey remember this is spoofing ourselves so carry on.."

Oz the Great and Powerful
therealjayknox replied to ChaddDerkins's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Saw it last week and liked it. Did not love it. I could see how the story or genre was unlikable or maybe you don't really like James Franco (I barely do) but I can't say there was any truly bad acting. Well written overall, well shot, for the most part the CGI and special effects were well done. Sure, I could think of some problems and understand some complaints but this is definitely not an HDTGM kind of film. I could also think of some pretty decent and clever parts. -
WOW yes this is a prime candidate - it is one of the worst movies I have seen in the last 10 years and its just awful on nearly every level. Just pointless, the man with the iron fists just mumbles about nonsense, some of the worst costumes, humans who don't seem to act or react like any humans actually would. Editing, writing, oh man this is a piece of garbage on fire. And the odd thing - this has a few decent Western actors and quite a few very good Chinese actors and actresses! yet, It's so bad it's an insult to China. I mean seriously - this movie was offensive to China's culture and people. It was really that bad.

Retta officially one of my all-time favourite guests - I hope she comes back again soon!

Keeping in mind I dislike 'gore' films but I also thought this was a fantastic movie and I bought the DVD as well. Somehow they made this thing work. BRUTAL to watch but so bizarre and it has to be some kind of cult-classic. Crazy movie - but not a bad movie. A great movie maybe.

The Master of Disguise (2002)
therealjayknox replied to jesshelga's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
You would have thought Dana Carvey would have have been comedy film gold. Yes, I lost appreciation and it seems like his career ended abruptly. (then again I'm told he had epic surgery mistakes for some condition), Anyways, ran out to rent this one - a huge SNL Carvey fan and wow.. wow this was a dud. Really really bad. Annoying. I guess 'Turtle' made his kids squeal with laughter but wow bad. Strongly agree this is a real candidate - great cast (on paper) and big money and marketing and what a mess. -
Didn't hate it. Uma Thurman ruined Emma Peal for me. I was hoping for something better than they delivered. This remake wasn't able to find the right campy fun of the original series. But didn't think it was a 'turd' or 'trainwreck'. This scene:

Absolutely one of the best bad movies I've seen since Birdemic and Sleepaway Camp - Its like this was tailor-made FOR HDTGM. Does it take away from the badness because it seems like its being released again for the campy badness of it all? Anyways, I could not get past low-budget Oates and his Oates moustache but give him credit - he is just GIVING IT FULL BLAST with no apologies of fuck's given in this movie and on stage. He totally won me over:

Please consider it a great compliment when I ask you Ktee - is this real or ? ^^^
