Paul, My cat is afraid of my wife. Should they try couples counseling?

I'll totally join, if I get a t-shirt and some pain meds.

This is basically a movie version of the comic Dylan Dog (which is reportedly good stuff), which was turned into a terrible American movie called "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" in 2011. Great for fans of weirder horror films or if you enjoy Anna Falchi. I know there's some gratuitous stuff, but man, she is gorgeous in this one.

The DLM podcast has been on a tremendous streak lately, I don't understand how it's possible but it just gets better and better. It seems to violate some quantum comedy law. THE ROCK:

No way in hell am I reading all that. That's almost a novella of 100% overthinking tin foil material.

Where's hand jiving double amputee dog when we need him?

Yeah, I've kind of given up with the suggestions and just enjoy shooting the shit about movies. Someone got crazy butthurt when I said something similar to what you said, when they suggested Warm Bodies. Golden Child is a fine product of its time, an era when Eddie Murphy made fun movies.

"Will Smith walks into a bar. Everyone is excited until they see hes with his annoying son so no one goes to the bar & it gets awful reviews." from Rob Fee's twatter

Haha, what? Sucker Punch has a cult following where? In my butt? The public can turn on big celebrities very quickly, with very little reason. Remember how much people were freaking out because Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch? But then, he said some weird shit about Brooke Shields, then became the most well-known Scientologist out there and here we are now. Regarding Will Smith, his film career has been getting kinda meh -- nothing terrible, but nothing amazing (probably the best performance of his I've seen was the Ali biopic). And it's known that he's a Scientologist, a cult/religion/wackadoo club that doesn't sit well with most people. There was that thing during the Men In Black 3 filming, where he parked his 53 foot trailer in SoHo for the duration; that pissed off a bunch of New Yorkers and gave him some bad press. And then the minor backlash against "I Whip My Hair" (which I thought was a fun song). He's at a point right now where he could go either way. I don't think there's a lot of Smith hate, it just appears that way right now. Signal to noise ratio, vocal minority in the press/entertainment media, etc and all that. I just wish he would throw Jazzy Jeff a bone once in a while. Those guys should make a single or something, that would be a bigger deal than After Erf.

/thread This line here, it couldn't possibly be any less profound! "The future? Is that where we're headed? I had no idea!" I genuinely love Plan 9, love it to pieces. And Criswell's monologue at the beginning... it just doesn't get any better than that. And how you can see his eyes move from right to left, as he reads from cue cards. It's wonderful. ... A personal favorite would be this exchange from the room, because it's edited together so incoherently. Johnny: Hi. Clerk: Can I help you? Johnny: Yeah, can I have a dozen red roses, please? Clerk: Oh, hi, Johnny. I didn't know it was you. Clerk: Here you go. Johnny: That's me. How much is it? Clerk: It'll be eighteen dollars. Johnny: Here you go. Keep the change. Johnny: Hi, doggy. Clerk: You're my favorite customer. Johnny: Thanks a lot. Bye! Clerk: Buh-bye! ... My favorite line from anything ever, not a bad movie though, is Repo Man: Debbi: Duke, let's go do some crimes. Duke: Yeah. Let's go get sushi... and not pay.

And you would be correct! They can't possibly have sex, because Superman's supersperm would wreck Lois. If you've never read Larry Niven's classic analysis of the situation, do yourself a favor. And I mostly agree with you, it's just that Zach Snyder's films are really overblown and all sound & fury; he's the master of style over substance. The only one I really liked was Watchmen, although from a distance I like that one less and less.

Which, no joke, was the best movie I played last year. That shit was fantastic, and miles ahead of the show. Someday I'll need to check out the comics. Not having seen it, how is After Erff an allegory for Scientology? I am curious (yellow).

AAAAAAAGH brb, gotta take a xanax I recall The Peanut Butter Solution being a book first? I definitely remember reading it as an 8 year old, but I can't find it on Amazon or anything. Never seen the movie. Apparently the director, Mark Rubbo, spent decades at the Film Board of Canada and made a bunch of prize-winning documentaries (or so says IMDB).

Yeah, I remember when this came out, I couldn't believe that was actually the title of the movie. Like we're supposed to be familiar with those character's names? That's supposed to mean something? Incidentally, there's an Ecks vs Sever gameboy game, which is supposedly terrible as well.

Whaaaat? It's totally decent, for what it is. It's a PG-rated Nick movie. Certainly better than anything SNL ever did. Kenan and Kel have good chemistry, the jokes are silly but funny, and even Sinbad is kinda enjoyable. I just watched this for the first time with maah wife a couple of months ago and we both had fun. I'm 30-ish and never watched Nickelodeon. This board is really interesting/mind-boggling, seeing what kinds of movies people think are shit and not shit. So subjective!

That would be very exhausting. I would say just go see Iron Man 3, as it's maaaybe the best one. Snappy dialogue, good action, and no time wasted on his origin story. If you like it, go back and watch the first one. If you really like that, watch the second one, but it's generally considered the "worst" out of the three. Mickey O'Rourke is a hoot, though.

I don't recall this one well, but I think I enjoyed it for what it was -- a silly horror film with low ambition. At least it had a somewhat original premise (or at least wasn't relying on whatever genre cliches were present at the time), it kind of kicked off the whole "torture porn" thing, right? Or was that Hostel? That movie was garbage. That scene where a lady was shaving her legs and skin coming off? AAAGH. That was a legit ewwwww I can't look. Plus the dudebro who figured out that he just had to drink beer and he would survive? Funny? Not funny? Either way I think the movie is probably too gross for a lot of people, and not in a Nothing But Trouble kinda way.

Keanu actually works well when he's cast to type, like say in Parenthood, Bill & Ted, Point Break (maybe?), and even subtly subverts his Keanu-ness in Thumbsucker (which is well worth a watch). Shia is pretty terrible but he's only been in terrible movies, so it's hard to tell. No one comes out of the Transformers movies looking good. Hayden Christensen did that teleporting movie, Jumper, and that's all I can recall. I've heard rumors that he's on board in some capacity for the new Star Wars brand entertainment consumable.

Doug Love Movies Benson said he was doing this on his last podcast. I looked into it. I would totally be down. We don't need to have an Earwolf person organize it or anything, do we?

Although, now that I think about it, I guess that's kind of the point of these "old man" sequels -- Die Harderer, Rambold (which I actually liked), Indiana Olds, even stuff like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. It can work, in the right hands. Or it can go south, like if you decide to cast Shia Laboof as the son.

Which is why I am sooo excited for the possibility of Paul Verhoeven directing Ahnold in a new Conan movie. I think the first movie (written by Oliver Stone) is a pretty decent movie and the idea of a tired old barbarian king going on one last adventure is fun to think about. With the right story and script, it could be great. The nice thing about Conan is that he doesn't have to talk, so we wouldn't need any of that Indiana Jones "I'm getting too old for this" shit.

This is amazing, just acknowledge that Statham is actually the same character in every movie and he's somehow immortal and able to cross into alternate dimensions or something. I fully expect him to be in Avengers 2.

Scary part of Vegas? Pffft. It's like 10-15 minutes away from the strip. And no, I've never been but really wanted to see it. Big fan of kitsch and camp. I better get my ass out to Dollywood before they pull the plug on that. It's totally worth flying out to Vegas (tickets are pretty cheap usually) for the Pinball HOF alone; it's incredible.

It's bad? I heard only positive word of mouth and I'm totally excited to watch it tonight. On a side note I was so upset that the Liberace Museum was closed when I went to Vegas a couple years ago. And then found out it was closed for good. Then my sadness went away when I realized I could spend the entire rest of my day at the Pinball Hall Of Fame down the street.
