    Yay! The Jazz Singer! That was the show *I* was at. I was the asshole holding the sign that Paul mentions during June's intro. (I had a June quote on my sign. She did not recognize it. I was pleased.)

     

    I had a lot of sign board thanks to this President. I almost made one that said "The Theme Song Should Be Longer."

     

    Congrats to the forum for winning and to Cameron H. (how are you today, Cameron?) for being a fan fave!

    As I said in the minisode thread, I refuse to watch this movie. Nothing in the podcast makes me think I made a poor life choice. So I have no corrections and omissions. Really just, like wow you guys watched this and it talked about it. You have given it way more thought than ANYONE EVER.

     

    It did occur to me while listening that Milla did a bunch of action flicks and now she isn't in much. It made me think of how they were talking about doing a female EXPENDABLES movie. Some asshole told me there were no female action stars. I was like "Um, Sigourney Weaver, duh." And he was all, "she is the only one." And left. But then I thought of a ton more. (Linda Hamilton! Pam Grier! Lynda Carter!)

     

    Anyway this reminded me that Milka Jovovich could totally do an EXPENDABLES reboot. New name added to list!

     

    So that is a positive to come out of this nonsense. All I got.

    I don't think anyone mentioned that all the spacecraft in the movie are named after literary monsters. The main ship they're on is called "The Grendel," which is the monster from Beowulf. Incidently, Beowulf kills Grendel by ripping her arms of, which kinda parallels the way the ship is "dismembered" in the way they blow it apart piece by piece:

    The ship they hail for rescue toward the end is called "The Tiamat," which was a Sumerian goddess that was depicted often as a multiheaded dragon:

    This reminds me that the CGI Beowulf with Angelina Jolie would be good for this podcast.

     

    Another random thought: in my head the friend Jenny Slate watched this with is Chris Evans. It heard they were back together last week and, for some reason, I was really excited. I don't know why. I don't know them and it makes no difference in my life. But I want this to be true.

    I wasn't aware until last week that A1 sauce was partially made up of raisins.

    SO THAT IS WHY IT IS DISGUSTING.

     

    Wow. We solved that one.

     

    RE: Raisins in cookies. I'm fine with raisins in cookies or anything sweet. I don't like them in savory stuff. They are fruit. They don't belong there. That's just science.

    Something happened to me today that I need to share with all of you.

     

    I went to a fitness class, so naturally that meant I got a cheeseburger for dinner at a local diner. And on the side they served me coleslaw.

     

    And you'll never guess what was in the coleslaw.

     

    RAISINS.

     

    I don't remember which minisode we had the discussion that raisins should not be in coleslaw. (Sorry) But I think we all agreed that it was anathema.

     

    I suppose now you're wondering, "How did they taste?" The answer to that is: I DIDN'T FUCKING EAT THE RAISINS, ARE YOU CRAZY.

    My son is not into Thomas -- never was. The most annoying show that he liked was probably Dinosaur Train or Clifford, but I'm sure there is another that I could come up with. He only gets to watch a little bit of television anyways.

     

    My son is eldest son has pretty much aged out of watching Thomas (although he still likes to play with the trains and stuff). I've never really had a problem with it. They're just cute little bits of nonsense. (Although the non-CG ones are pretty creep-a-rooney.)

     

    I really don't have a problem with any of his shows. They are what they are. They're not for me. However, that being said, I would totally be open to HDTGM doing this psychotic piece of cinema:

    Can we add this to bad movie recommendations?

     

    "THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge."

    You beat me to this reference. I think Thomas should remake more EAP short stories. They're public domain! Let's scare some kids!

    I agree. This mother duck's sadness is totally self-inflicted. Speaking as a parent, maybe do something to look out for your ducklings besides going "quack quack quack."

     

    GET IT TOGETHER, MOTHERDUCKERS!

    Also she doesn't notice any of the ducks are missing until all are gone. That's just shoddy ducking. Get it together.

     

    I'm totally stealing "motherducker" and passing it off as my own.

    I had to watch several episodes of Thomas the Train this weekend because my nephew, who is two (and has GARBAGE taste) kept saying "Watch Thomas? Watch Thomas?" I agree with Paul, that train sucks.

     

    He also really loves

    . And when you put it on he'll go "OH BOY DUCKS!" For some reason, I hate this one less because I make jokes with mother (my sister) about how that mother duck should be reported to CPS.

     

    I guess what I'm saying is Thomas isn't even fun bad. But five little ducks is totally HDTGM bad.

     

    ETA: Also congrats to us on being the best Earwolf forum. Suck it, Comedy Bang Bang.

    What's funny about this is that such killer personality profiles would have a great deal of overlap since most profiling rubrics have a finite number of questions, answers, etc. Once SID had received the first 100 profiles, all the boxes would have been checked over and over again.

     

    The only difference would be things that are unique to the individual's crimes or lives, and it's clear that SID doesn't really express anything that nuanced. For example, SID never paints like Hitler or Gacy, he doesn't have a penchant for axes like Lizzy Borden or bombs like Grimes, he doesn't go after high profile politicians like Sirhan or Fromme ... he's just a random nutter. If they're going to bother making him a composite of history's greatest nutters, then some small and identifying aspects on these people's personalities should come through randomly, and this just doesn't happen (save for Grimes).

     

    It's almost as if the logic of Timecop Virtuosity is flawed.

    I would think this many personalities would tend to make a program skew more average rather than more extreme?

     

    If I were making a murder program (and to be clear: I am NOT), I would at least some unifying theme, or to avoid any conflict among the personalities.

     

    Like if you have a Hitler but also a Jewish killer, is the creation then paralyzed with hate for itself?

    But did the film mention serial killer DNA? I thought it was their personality profile? Does that mean SID's creator had the 666 killers sit down and take a Myers Briggs test or something? Or does it mean in this vague future they have some virtual way of mapping someone's personality? Even if we allow for the possibility that said personality mapping could take place after a person's death, I still don't think, say Hitler's personality profile his head isn't intact. He's ashes. There's nothing to map?

     

    IMDb says these are the killers that are shown:

     

    Amongst the names of serial killers shown in Sid 6.7's personality profile are David Koresh, Thomas McIlvane, Frederick Cowan, William Bonin, Harvey Glatman, Peter Kuten, William Bryan Cruse, Charles Whitmore, Aileen Carol Wournos, Peter Sutcliffe, Kenneth McDuff, Jesse James, Dr. Glennon Engleman, Harvey Carignan, Dr. Geza de Kaplany, Norman Selby, Juan Peron, Winnie Ruth Judd, Matthew Grimes, Augosto Pinoche, Carl Panzram, Abu Nidal, Ted Bundy, Wesley Allan Dodd, Roger Dale Stafford, Elizabeth Borden, Mark Essex, Billy the Kid, Lynette Fromme, Larry Eyler, Clem Henderson, David Hendricks, Coral Eugene Watts, William McDonald, Richard Trenton Chase, Sirhan Sirhan, Josef Mengele, Ed Kemper, Edward Leonski, John Collins, Julian Knight, John Haigh, Carlton Gary, Vaughn Greenwood, Nicolae Ceausescu, Randy Kraft, Miguel Rivera, Dean Allen Corli, William Suff, Werner Boost, Thierry Paulin, Richard Trenton Chase, David Burke, Donald Harvey, Vernon Butts, Bruno Hauptman, Ralph Jerome Selz, John Duffy, Carl Weiss, Gerald Eugene Stano, Benito Mussolini, Paul Calden, Richard Farley, Ian Brady, Joseph Harris, Hiro Hito, Lynwood C. Drake, Saddam Hussein, Gilles De Rais, Herman Mudgett, Donald Nielson, Robert R. Diaz, and Joe Ball.

     

    I don't know who all these people are, but I know they are not all serial or even mass murderers. (Here I am using the phrase "serial killer" to denote a murderer who kills on multiple occasions not in one angry fit. And "mass murderer" as someone who kills a whole lot of people at once.)

     

    For example, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme didn't even KILL ANYONE. She tried to kill Pres. Ford but failed. She's even out on bail now.

     

    So now I have to ask: what would happen if SID happened to run into one of his personalities?

    One more C&O, again according to Kelly Lynch's 2012 AV Club interview, it was originally written for Mel Gibson then Denzel came on. I do remember Denzel interviews at the time re: his son. My memory (and this may be faulty, I'll concede) is that Denzel said his son wanted him to do an action movie, not this movie specifically.

    I need to know: is this the son that is on Ballers now?

     

    Not so much at my facility where there are no gangs due to the classification system of the facility as a Sensitive Needs Facility.

    A follow up if I may, can you swim to Spago from your facility?

     

    Okay, I have got to say this.

    DENZEL WASHINGTON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS OF ALL TIME PERIOD.

    Check out W Kamau Bell and Kevin Avery's podcast to find out more why. When the audience member asked his question about the greatest actor being in the worst movie, PAUL thought he was talking about Russel Crowe... what the fuck. No way, man!

    Not enough talk about how great Denzel Washington is!

     

    I was a tiny bit bummed this wasn't another crossover episode. I demand Paul at least talk to Kevin Avery on the minisode!

     

    ETA: I bet the JASON X episode will air the 27th so it will be Halloween centered. But I agree, a mistake to miss Friday the 13th.
