I think the highest quality movie they ever did was Ghostbusters 2 and UHF like once or twice. I swear Comedy Central played Monty Python and the Holy Grail back in the day, and that's where I first saw it, but you have me doubting my memory...

HDTGM is up with "Winter's Tale" and HOLY poo poo. I know nothing about this book, didn't even know this was a movie that was out, and I am blown away. My favorite episodes are the ones that they do movies I haven't seen and now I cannot wait to watch this movie to try and make some sense of this.

Was literally about to post how incredible that would have been. National tragedy that June wasn't on this episode, would love to have heard her thoughts/interpretation on it. Best thing about the episode is them talking about the insane trailer for Blended - I watched it twice last week and still could not work out the premise for the film.

Doubtfire and Winter's Tale for the lovely movie podcasts today? My cup runnith over, but ya know, with poo poo. Winter's Tale is so loving crazy and terrible, when it shuffles onto Netflix with a wet fart, I massively recommend it.

Still can't wrap my head around how Blended's plot works. How does 4 tickets turn into 7 tickets? Why buffalo wings so spicy? I have to see Winter's Tale just for the Will Smith parts. I thought they were joking at first.

The WHM Mrs. Doubtfire was a good close to listener request month. My favorite parts were pointing out there was nothing wrong with Pierce Brosnan, and that Robin Williams went on the anti-smoking tirade but had a serious drinking problem that was never addressed.

Mrs. Doubtfire was my childhood introduction to "unsympathetic rear end in a top hat wins back ex from good-natured rebound spouse" films. To date, my favorite example of the genre is a made-for-TV movie called Christmas Do-Over. It's basically Groundhog Day, but Christmas. Unlike its contemporaries, the main character is under no uncertain terms the villain, and the most sympathetic character is the ex-wife's new fiance. Jay Mohr, the psycho presented as our hero, spends the movie studying all the wonderful things the fiance does for his ex-wife. Instead of learning about how the fiance pays more attention to her and thus developing as a character, he uses his Groundhog Day powers to learn how best to either sabotage the fiance's plans or steal them for his own. The end result is an entirely innocent man watching the woman he loves get taken away from him over the course of one day by an irredeemable human that did not learn anything from the experience except how to use miracles to cheat. I'm planning on submitting the movie to the next WHM request month

I was really hoping they would discuss the fact that the original ending of the movie had them get back together. Just hearing the outrage over that would be incredible.

Kind of reminds me of when they reviewed Babyface and Addicted to Love, both of which focused on terrible people ruining some innocent person's life in pursuit of their "true love". Is "rear end in a top hat wins the love of the innocent while destroying a second innocent life" a secret film genre?

I might be alone in this, but I prefer the WHM episodes about romantic comedies because these movies seem to be the least aware about how messed up they are (Addicted to Love, The Pallbearer, Babycakes, Date with an Angel). I know sexual politics were a little different in 1984 but GOOD GOD what were these people thinking when they read the script?

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I think Michael Caine will take any role offered to him because the dude just loves acting, or he sees any role as a chance to improve his skills. He's apparently been in 115 films in his career. Still, he should have broken his rule for this one.

I can't even imagine who would write this poo poo - I'm gonna gently caress your daughter, but you've been loving my wife, and you know what, let's all just get our families back together and it'll all work out.

He's an unapologetic working actor.

I've held that it's Michael Caine's worst movie and considering some of the poo poo he was in during the 80's and 90's that's saying something. bobservo posted:I might be alone in this, but I prefer the WHM episodes about romantic comedies because these movies seem to be the least aware about how messed up they are (Addicted to Love, The Pallbearer, Babycakes, Date with an Angel).

Whenever I come across a movie or book where the sexual relationships are that screwed up I have to look toward the creators putting their fantasies on the screen. Hot teenager throwing herself at an older man? I wonder if the fact that one of the credited writers and the director were hitting their sixties when they were making the film had anything to do with that...

Yeah, that bit made my skin loving crawl. They mentioned American Beauty, and I agree that the comparison works, but I'd also mention a little known film called Beauty, which shows how loving creepy and wrong it really WOULD be for a man to creep on the nubile child of his best friend, a child that he'd known since birth and who considered him an uncle. Except in Beauty, the situation plays itself out in a much more realistic fashion - no one has any idea that the "uncle" wants to bang the kid, least of all the kid himself - until the last minute, when all his creepy stalking ends with him raping his friend's son. I mean...if you're going to do a story like this, at least acknowledge and recognise that it's just...really really gross and unsavoury, and stop trying to make it into a romantic sex romp or whatever the gently caress. bobservo posted:I might be alone in this, but I prefer the WHM episodes about romantic comedies because these movies seem to be the least aware about how messed up they are (Addicted to Love, The Pallbearer, Babycakes, Date with an Angel).

I mean...silly action movies have a certain sort of predictability to them (Oh, that acting was really over the top/bad! Oh, that explosion/effect was insane/really terrible looking!), whereas bad romcoms/romantic dramas/sexy thrillers/family movies or whatever...are all horrible in beautifully unique ways, and I love to see them being taken down. And I mean..in a bad action movie, when a guy does something weird and bad, he's usually the bad guy - whereas in a movie like Mrs Doubtfire, you're supposed to think that everything's lovely and sweet when in fact it's weird as gently caress.

I got way too excited when I saw that The Flop House was doing a bad movie that I have actually seen this week. And they made the same mistake I did ("Renny Harlan doing a movie about the Dyatlov Pass incident? Even if it's not good it's going to be crazy!").

Genuinely (and probably one of the few) kind of disappointed there were no Floppies this last episode. The "Stuart Face Down on the Floor Watching 'Oogieloves' Award for the Movie That Almost Broke Me" is one of the most beautiful things ever said during the podcast.

I truly think Blame it on Rio is the worst movie that We Hate Movies has ever done. There may be films that were produced worse, filmed worse or had worse acting, but holy poo poo that line everyone here has already quotes was stunningly bad. The writer HAD to know that line was going to totally destroy the rest of the movie right?

I suggested Overboard (1987) during their first listener request month, and I was bummed they didn't use it, because that so-called "comedy" has a premise that could easily be rewritten into a horror movie. bobservo fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Mar 10, 2014 |
