A buddy and me watched Sabotage because it was on Netflix and we were high as poo poo and boy, what an ugly, nasty trashbag that movie is. But gently caress me, Schwarzdog still has that weird charisma, even old and in that garbage.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:You are wrong about this. I will agree that there aren't many people who hold that opinion, but for me it's on my list of films that I saw that I hated the most. I think it stung particularly because everyone else thought it was genius. But come on - the upside down yellow sex scene, Jude Law's horrible slipping yoyo accent, the complete lack of charisma of Ethan Hawke, the stupid premise that anyone should be able to be an astronaut even though Vincent's health problems would have disqualified him from being an astronaut now, let alone in the oh-so-unfair future, the fact that there were apparently only two career options - Astronaut, and Cleaner, so Vincent couldn't just be a lawyer or something, and the fact that Jude Law had to randomly incinerate himself in his shower furnace? Just heinous.

I like Gattaca. But I can see thinking it's boring. That doesn't really make for the best podcast material though. Have they done Reality Bites yet? I can't remember which podcast did that one. If they haven't, that. If they have? I don't know, maybe Daybreakers?

It's been forever since I watched Gattaca, but the heart problem really messed with the message as I remember. A non-engineered guy overcoming all the odds and proving that societies limitations were bullshit, except for the part where he dies of a massive coronary in space and ruins the mission because he really was genetically inferior. It's a decent Twilight Zone type story, but the movie seemed convinced that it was a triumph.

As much as I want it to be Gattaca, it's probably more likely to be something like Reality Bites, or...more likely...Daybreakers. Which...after all these dark, gross demon movies, just seems like an easy (and boring) pick.

It's interesting to watch from a, "That's how we were planning on making movies in the 90's?!" point of view, but that's about it. I think it's borderline unwatchable now.

Freshman-in-college me loved this movie when it came out. 2014 me got a wicked case of douche chills for 2 hours when it was on HBO this past December. It's not borderline unwatchable - it's like the 90's had sex with the 90's and then threw up more 90's cliches on the baby. They would have an absolute field day with this.

It's not Daybreakers, WHM has a ten year rule outside of Listener Request Month and Worst of. e: You can find out what movie it is if you know how. I've never even heard of this thing.

Never heard of it either. BTW, Jupin only just updated the Letterboxd - I checked yesterday and it only had up to Winters' Tale, so the method of finding out beforehand only works as much as he updates the page.

Yeah, it's not consistent. I've seen it be a month behind and I've seen it be two weeks of spoilers but most of the time I'd say he gives away the next episode on Friday/Saturday. Stoked for this movie I never heard of because I like the Copycat episode.

I haven't listened to a lot of WHM, but Sabotage may be my favorite episode so far. If I had a dime for every time they used the word "scuzzy". Is Taking Lives the movie where Angelina Jolie fakes being pregnant to catch a serial killer or something? Edit: I am honestly giddy to hear June's theories on Zardoz.

I tried to rewatch it recently and made it to the point where Ethan Hawke reacts to the big fight between him, Winona Ryder and Ben Stiller in a bar by going up on stage and singing a really bad Violent Femmes cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iX2jtbjyuw I really hope next week isn't just gonna be another Tiptoes episode.

Tiptoes was my first thought, but her role may not be major enough to consider. Maybe it's Stigmata or Goodbye Lover? Also, I can't wait to see Tomb Raider: Cradle of Filth.

Was their "mail in art school guy" voice based on a real art school guy whose commercials run in New York or something or was it something they just totally came up with out of the blue? It seemed oddly specific.

It's been some years now, but I used to see them all the time, both in MA and FL.

The school itself has been around for generations, I remember my Dad saying he sent something in when he was a little kid.

Apparently "famous artists school" is a real thing, that Charles Schultz went to (and was founded by Norman Rockwell among others) but it sounds different from the Art Instruction School. I just think the whole idea of trying to do an art class by correspondence is ludicrous. It's hardly better than just teaching yourself and/or getting one of those "How to draw cartoons!" books. But yes, being non-American I'd never heard of the ads, but I cracked up when listening to that bit. This episode really didn't disappoint. I'm also beginning to realise that in the really terrible movies WHM keep reviewing, male/male aggression or friendliness alike both seem to come across as the characters wanting to gently caress each other. It also comes up occasionally in the odd Alcohollywood episode when they review something kind of crap.

Herbie: Fully Loaded, Desperate Measures (been a long time since I've seen this, but I remember it being pretty ridiculous), Multiplicity (I like it, but it is extremely mockable), and The Dream Team (which I think they may have "Stay Tuned" once) all come to mind. Though there are a ton of his movies I've never seen. Never mind guessing, next three are Stigmata, Just Like Heaven, and White Noise. Guess I got one right. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Oh god, I think Just Like Heaven is the only WHM pick I've actually seen. (Oh wait, I've seen Mrs Doubtfire. I'm amazed I've managed to only see 2 WHM films in my life so far.) The thing is, I don't remember it being that bad. I mean it was lame, but it didn't stick out as that much worse than any other romcom. Looking forward for WHM to refresh my memory for the worst.
