    Well they also landed right next to the cops so they could laugh at them. They even turned the interior lights on in the Hummer so that the cops could see their faces easier, and with the license plate in clear view. Luckily the cops are worse cops than they are witches and never try and track them down.

    Kinda on the subject of bad CG and stuff, something I've noticed all the times I watched this is the scene where Chase is magically teleporting the blonde girl from the doorway to the bed...is it just me or is that like straight up amateur hour effects? Chase sits on the bed holding a Ghost Rider-style exaggerated point at Caleb that looks like hes trying to hold very still in fast motion.

     

    Also the ending is basically saying that our hero is going to be old in no time. Like, he's ascended now so its full on 'every use of your powers will age you' time, but he still wastes it fixing his windshield (like they said, in public no less)...like, you're rich dummy, maybe not burn your life away fixing something that insurance or 500 bucks would take care of? He's clearly full on addicted by the end, despite all the grand statements he wouldn't be throughout the movie. I guess the sequel would just be him strung out on power juice, thinking Chase was onto something and hunting down the other Ipswich dipshit witches to get their power too.

    I like that they gave Tyler all the discussion he deserved.

     

    So about Nicky's, they asked if there were any older people there and there was. For about a half second an elderly man is shown grooving to a funky beat, and then when the camera angle changes to follow Pogue on his journey back from the bar he's mysteriously vanished.

    Also speaking of vanishings inside Nicky's, the food that Pogue has just purchased there vanishes completely between the time he goes from the ghost of boogies past to the foosball table to meet up with the other guys.

    Speaking of a sequel, I'll go head on and copy what I posted in the recommendations thread for this movie

    .

    Since a sequel is unlikely to happen, the best fanfic author ever (best author ever maybe), Hans Von Hozel wrote a bit of fanfic to help continue the story. It gets pretty dark.

    -----

    All the Covenants wanted to use on their powers.

     

    "When we use our powers!" say the Covenants, "It makes a drugs!"

     

    And so the Covenants used their powers.

     

    They made a happy danube in the sky.

     

    The people saw the Covenants happy powers, and wanted to make a using of these.

     

    "WE WANT YOUR POWERS ALSO!" say the people, and they go Covenant hunting!

     

    The Covenants hide in a castle, but the people knocked down the roof and a splat.

     

    "Oh no!" say the people, "We have crush Covenants and now not powers for us!!!!"

     

    The people made a sadly.

     

    They had destroyed all powers.

    Except for the blonde dude and Bucky Barnes, I can't tell any of these dudes apart.

     

    The ending fight was so annoying/confusing, its just 2 bobo Jensen Ackles blowing bubbles at each other. Basically except for the Draco Malfoy wannabe and the lead singer of the Pogues, they're all the same guy.

    Opinions on the new Ghostbusters trailer?

     

    My biggest concern: why can't they all be scientists? The, "You're all scientists, but I know New York line" makes me cringe a bit.

     

     

    My initial thoughts are

    1. it feels too jokey, maybe its just the nature of trailers cutting stuff out of context but it feels a lot less subtle of a comedy than the first Ghostbusters, like they don't trust people to get its a comedy moment unless theres a big neon sign saying THIS IS A JOKE, YOU MAY LAUGH NOW.

    2. Is this a reboot? A sequel? what? admittedly I haven't looked into it, but the trailer is way less than clear to me. Like theres shades of an origin story, but the opening text talked about the first one. I thought at first this was going to be like a Ghostbusters Inc. kinda thing, but then again I guess not?

    3. Im not really digging the performances, or the writing. Like I think the "power of patty compels you! *2nd slap*" scene could have been a good funny moment, but the "thats gonna leave a mark" line and how she says it just grates on me for some reason. Guess it kinda goes back to how it doesnt feel all that subtle on its comedy.

     

    Take for instance a good movie, when the Ipswich Dipshits burn their souls a little to magically flip up a woman's skirt its played classy and understated, you can really feel like those are real people you would find in a bar sexually harassing girls.

    No, he definitely dies without reason. By that time he is effectively omnipotent-Jedi-Jesus-jewfro, he's already shown he can basically bring people back from the dead, or near death, and could easily magic himself a cure to his little arm injury (thats his 'mortal' wound btw, he takes a glancing blow to the arm in the fight with a couple robots, then just decides hes dead.)

    I am dumb for having already thought about this for more than 10 seconds. At the end of the movie Max says "I could sure use a nice hot cup of chocolate." and Kazaam makes one appear for him.

     

    The line of dialogue was not "I wish I had a nice hot cup of chocolate." because:

     

    A.) It was a conscious writer's choice to show that Kazaam was no longer bound by the rules of wishes.

    or

    B.) The writer just forgot to write wish there.

     

    The main thing that got me about that part was that he said "hot cup of chocolate", and not "cup of hot chocolate"

     

    Also, one of Kazaam's lyrics references Ben and Jerry-al to keep his rhyme scheme going, that just stuck out to me as infinitely stupid.

    And a bit of a "second opinion" from the IMDB user ratings.

     

    "The Gamechangers clearly states, without sounding like one of lawyers in the film, that the scenes shown have been altered for dramatic effect (or words to that effect) thus any point on how realistic the film really was is entirely out of the question, all that matters is that the events happened. Just happened. And what this film really did was present both sides of the argument in, for possibly the first time in the film industry, a balanced manner.

    ...

    In essence, this film has provided a non-biased ending, which the viewer can take away not a sense of excitement or pleasure from their film but rather leave in a contemplative and quizzical state. And that is rare for modern film. This picture has, as is the aim of many of the characters, broken down barriers and revolutionised real-life based film. But the question after you have balanced your moral scale and decided on a place to stand is why have films documenting real events not provided as bleak and factual interpretation as this one previously?

     

    Real-life dramas should let us make up our own minds. And I believe this film has taken the first step in letting us do so."

    A movie with Jack Thompson as the good guy, a BBC "docudrama" about Grand Theft Auto.

     

    Did you know GTA Vice City and San Andreas were basically solely the work of Harry Potter, who had a few helpers who did nothing but play ping pong with him and spun around like hackers in a phone booth? Also when you play GTA or mod a game you also spin around a lot. Guys, GTA is dangerous with all this spinning that happens, why didn't Jack Thompson ever bring that aspect up?

     

    Did you know that everyone at Rockstar really actually gave a shit about what Jack Thompson said and did? They talked about him more than the Hogwarts people talk about Voldemort, and in as fearful a tone.

     

    With CGI work worse than an in-engine cutscene from GTA 3, cheesy dialog, and no real knowledge of the very cases its supposed to be about or the people involved, this movie is a great telling of a story with no real point, or even really side taken or advanced in the end.

    Paul,

     

    During the Perfect podcast, you could not think of the name of this show from the 80's. At the time, it was about as close to free porn a teenager could get.

    Here is a video clip:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSHMDCguI84

     

    Is that the workout that Skeezy McCreepdouche is watching at the beginning of Friday the 13th Part 4? Or was the "lady butt triangle bending over in a white void" a staple of workout videos around that time?

    As long as one of the words you're searching for is less than 4 it will return that error (just checked by searching "master of disguise" and "master disguise". second worked, first didn't.)

     

    Personally I give everything a search, and since I only kinda trust it, will then arrange the forum in alphabetical order (hit Custom on the line with Recently Updated, Start Date, etc [between the top most forum post and the page selector]) and go to where it should be and see if its listed.

     

    Not perfect since people can name them weird, but for the most part does ok.

    OK, so I had to pause the movie to post this, in the scene where the 'child bounty hunter'/'child abductor' is being stopped by the trucks after kidnapping the kid, there's a certain friend we might all know, one that's no stranger to child abduction and high stakes competitions located across state lines that minors have to endanger themselves to get to in the nick of time.

    Well opening a porn store is a difficult undertaking, there's supply side issues, zoning issues, advertising and an increasingly shrinking marketplace in a world going digital. It's not just a quick and easy thing, which is why it was such a prominent and constant struggle that informed his character...by that I mean in one scene he says he wants to do it, and then another scene his brother says he did even though we never see it or any indication that it either happened or is in the process of happening.

     

    Maybe he should have stuck to stripping, those were some hot moves he busted out at that audition.

    When I saw the tape and him messing with the door I thought he was going to rig up a needle that would inject it whenever he opened the door, ala urban legends of aidsy gas station pumps. But no, its basically a magical gay-to-straight 'light grenade', except even less effective since it doesn't even have "drink me" written on it.

     

    This movie does has some pretty great tantrums. Also its not just him, basically everyone in this movie is one stubbed toe away from a 5 minute hissy fit, and a passive aggressive note about purchased cream cheese fat content from a murder at all times.

    Then you have the Christian brother who starts just murdering people because that will stop his brother from getting married apparently after eating chicken imbued with holy water didn't change him.

    No no, the dinner was just to try and convince him to become straight. The holy water potion (literally called a potion in the movie) was what was meant to change him forcefully with the Magic of Jesus.

     

    The brilliant plan to trick his brother into drinking it...was to put it in a little plastic bottle and tape it to the outside of his door. Because I know the first thing I think when I see a strange bottle of liquid taped to my door is "I gotta ingest that post haste!" And in a move that shows what a great movie maker was behind this, with no context clues or information presented other than 'heres a weird bottle taped to my door', he is instantly able to tell what it is, what it is supposed to do, and who put it there.

     

    Another great part about that is how indignant and unbelieving the brother is that his foolproof plan didn't work.

     

    This film has the editing style of Birdemic.

    Its definitely got the parking shots down.
