Why not just listen to the Yeah Its That Bad podcast on this horrible movie? Those guys were just as entertaining to listen to as HDTGM. Too bad they closed up shop.

I listened to every episode, and I'm pretty sure they never tackled it. Not that I can remember...

Someone posted on the Christopher Lambert thread, so it's my duty to bump this one as well! Come on, guys. Do it. Please. It'll sweep the next Howdies.

I only just wanted to talk about The Fortress, I would of sworn there was a thread about it already. but all I could find was that Christopher Lambert thread. I wanted to talk about that movie because if I had to watch it then you guys have to hear me bitch about it. I want my two hours back of my life please!

  • With the United States under the threat of nuclear attack, the lives of several people converge in a dystopian Los Angeles. Movie star Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson) plans his next film with the help of ambitious porn actress Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and troubled policeman Roland Taverner (Seann William Scott). Meanwhile, Marxist revolutionaries, greedy corporations and secretive government agencies pursue their separate agendas among a paranoid populace.

The Viagra comment only refers to faltering franchises though, not a shitty one-off movie.

The only Viagra I need is thinking about this 145 minute ball of insanity being done on the podcast. That's the fantasy that gets me up!

If you get an erection that lasts longer than this movie, you may want to call your doctor.

Not even The Rock's "box office Viagra" could get this film up.

 

Now I get what this is in reference too, after watching Saturday Night Live. So I am the last to know.

"This is the way the world ends. Not with a whimper, but with a bang."

I have watched this movie at least 5 times and still have no fucking clue what the hell happens. This movie is literally insane. I love watching it, and find it to be hilarious in parts, Whenever someone asks me what it's about, I just say it was made by the guy who did Donnie Darko and has a goddamn music video in the middle of it, cuz that's about all I know about the plot.

That guy who made Donnie Darko, That's pretty much what that director is going to be remembered as.

 

He made such a great movie and then they made this. But you know something I sort of like this film.

Could I explain it, hell no. I don't think even Richard C Hoagland could explain Southland tales.

and it still doesn't make sense. They should get Bill Nye The Science Guy. to host the show and explain this movie he would make a excellent guest host.

I think Southland Tales is perfect for the show. In the Crank way though. No joke, I think this movie is an A+ through and through. It is jampacked with stars who are all doing crazy things, (at least one that the hosts know so that might shy them away from it, but I hope not because she's funny in it) has a beautifully insane story, has hundreds of easily discussable weirder than weird moments (the JT music video could be its own episode), and is so hard to follow that a lot of great June theories are bound to happen. Of all the movies I could suggest, Southland is the only one I think is an absolute necessity for HTDGM.

Yes, Southland Tales! A movie I watched and read the synopsis afterwards on wikipedia and wasn't sure if I have seen that movie. =D

Yeah, I remember watching Southland Tales in theaters with my friends who were still riding high off the fumes of Donnie Darko, which for the life of me, I CAN NEVER bring myself to like. Both of those movies were garbage to me. Amy Poehler was the best part of this film for me, and then the rest of it just pissed me off, and my friends LOVED IT.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just a filthy commoner.

But I really dislike that Darko movie alot.

What about City Slickers II: The Legend Of Curly's Gold?

Don't forget about The Brave Little Toaster.

 

Southland Tales was horrible as a movie, but interesting as an experience. Would love them to do this movie, mostly because the plot made absolutely zero sense. It would be hilarious just listening to the confused debate of what the fuck was going on.

Ive tried 3 times to watch this movie and I could never get past the intro which I think was only 5 mins.

Consider yourself lucky.
