I feel like trying to stick Michael Bay specifically with the prurience and tastelessness of the true crime genre is hilariously disingenuous.

I just watched Trollhunter because of this thread and I swear, this is movie is set dead right in the Supernatural universe. Hans is like Bobby Singer's Norwegian penpal. Just awesome.

Rhyno posted:What the gently caress is wrong with you? It's a pretty solid early 90s style comedy. Group of average joes gets to push the envelope, ensemble cast, lots of physical comedy. Better time waster than most comic book movies released last year.

drunken officeparty posted:They're both in the same genre about criminals who don't know what they're doing I guess? What makes P&G great isn't that it has the most amazing and original storyline. That's like comparing Requiem For A Dream and Mac & Devin Go To Highschool because they are both about drug users. A movie actually based on the events that inspired 30 Minutes or Less instead of the idea of it would probably ended up closer to Pain and Gain. In real life the dude that had the bomb strapped to his neck was in on the heist the whole time. He didn't know it was a real bomb though or that the other two always planned to detonate it after the cash hand off. The other two were finally caught like 4 or 5 years later after one was overheard bragging about.

Definitely read up on the whole thing. The one guy died of cancer awaiting his trial and the insane woman had an ex boyfriend chopped up in the freezer of the first guy's house.

Watching The Brady Bunch movie due to all the recommendations it got, and it's funnier than it has any right to be. Jennifer Elise Cox should have gotten an award for her performance as Jan, she just nailed it.

Someone comes up with a dumb premise out of their rear end (sharks in a tornado!) and then spends as little money and time on it as possible, shits it out on video or Netflix and then sits back and waits for the money to trickle in.

It's apparently a very profitable business though. They claim to have always broken even, at the least, on everything they've released.

I'm waiting to see where exactly the upcoming "Zombeavers" falls in this bad-on-purpose spectrum. I'm really hoping it comes to Netflix.

Examples i unironically enjoy are orange county, meatballs/wet hot american summer, national lampoons stuff like senior trip and dorm daze, bio dome, night at the roxbury, etc etc Klown - it's crude but absolutely hilarious. Kind of like Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Road Trip. edit: Oh god, the low star reviews of Klown are kinda hilarious: quote:This director endorses rape with this movie. You have these old men trying to f%## high school girls, then when the guy is turned down- we find him in the next scene running away naked while the high schoolers are chasing them and yelling rape. He says "I didn't have sex with her, I just tried to have sex with her" (An old man, naked in a high school girls tent, trying to have sex with her). This is supposed to be funny. Then, we see a scene of explicitly consensual sex, yet the next day the woman says she was sexually abused in that act. In this fictional situation, we know that a rape didn't occur (since the director shows this), yet the woman says she was basically raped. This scene is meant to call rape claims into question.I not only found the characters despicable, I found the filmmakers despicable as well.My experience with Danish culture leads me to believe that the above is very much apart of their culture. I'm biased though, maybe. quote:To say this movie is in bad taste is a vast understatement. If you think child abuse, misogyny, and shallow ugly people are funny, you might like this, but I thought it was very poorly done. It's not even funny in the least. It's appalling and disgusting and not even entertaining from that aspect. What is done to this child would have someone put in prison in this country. Shame on the Danish for producing this atrocity. What a waste of time. mod sassinator fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Feb 13, 2014 |

For a while there when it was obvious they were just making knock offs (I don't know what they have now that's on Netflix, and I'm lazy), none of them were really worth watching. For some reason though I loved to watch them for just how terrible they were. I would also play a game where I would count how long it was before there was a topless woman for no real reason.

My wife and I have started watching Bones on Netflix after seeing a few reruns on Ion. So we started tonight and have watched the first three episodes. She is a little cold and really attached to her work, but not the emotionless, abrasive, autistic robot who doesn't understand people's emotions toward their loved ones, constantly talks without a filter, etc. that we've seen in reruns. The other night there was one where she was at a funeral, I believe, and says something to the effect of "I don't understand these people's emotions" in regard to them crying over their lost one. Does something happen down the line or did the writers just completely ramp up her "oddness"? The early episodes remind me of real people who work around death and are just desensitized. The later ones make me wonder when they'll peel her skin back to reveal that she is a cyborg.

Generally the first season of a long running series is so different from the present day as to be unrecognizable. You also see this with (e.g.) NCIS, where Gibbs actually acts like a human being (though to be fair his shift happened right after he saw one of his agents die right in front of his face). The exception to this is Supernatural which has been about the bro-angst since the very beginning and never let up.

I've inadvertently been exposed to more Bones than I care to admit, and they actually seem to be writing her much less robotic lately, what with the having a baby and all that. She still talks and acts like a dumb person's parody of a smart person a lot though. I couldn't remember any of the really annoying quotes but they all basically come down to "beep boop, humans are so irrational, everyone should be smart and logical like me" and pretty much every conversation has her spouting out encyclopedia facts laden with unnecessary information no one cares about to highlight how smart she is. "The dissolution of marriage has been in practice for countless centuries. In fact, in Christian Byzantium, a woman could divorce her husband for a number of medical reasons including leprosy or impotence." Cut to a shot of the person she's interrogating looking confused and her partner mugging and rolling his eyes. She's so smart but she just doesn't understand people! Oh and here's one about love I looked up, it's actually from an early season. Just imagine some variation of this, creaking under the weight of the scientific terms the writers googled, every time the subject is brought up. Booth: Well, I'm just saying, you believe in love don't you? Brennan: I believe that dopamine and norepinephrine stimulate euphoria because of certain biological triggers like scent, and symmetrical features.

In this movie the main character accidentally fucks his sister but gets over it in a matter of seconds. The same thing happens when he sucks his best friend's dick by mistake. It is a great movie Oh my god according to the Wikipedia article, he has sex with his 14-year-old sister. What the gently caress?
