morestuff posted:Netflix stuff for March. Kind of a light month, but Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt looks funny, and I've been meaning to see Life Itself and The Man With The Iron Fists. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is probably a big get, as well. Patch Adams and Third Rock from the Sun both rule, as far as my 13 year old self recalls

precision posted:Oh man I have been really curious to see God's Not Dead but didn't ever want to pay money for even from Redbox so A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist “Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!” At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock. “How old is this rock?” The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian” “Wrong. It’s been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now” The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named “Small Government” flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country. The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity. Semper Fi

At the same time you can look at Brass Body's Brass Balls as a subversion of the trope. Or just the movie being way too PG, which was my problem.

a worthy uhh posted:“How old is this rock?” Got a chuckle out of this, thanks. Glad to Hear about ABC's of Death 2 as well. I heard good things about the sequel but lukewarm things about the original. I assume that as a horror anthology there's no reason I can't skip straight to part two?

ABCs of Death 1 is hit and miss. Mostly miss, but there's only a couple that don't at least touch on something interesting, and they're all short enough that if one doesn't grab you it's over fast.

Of Miracles and Men is pretty good because it is less about "Where are they now?" and more "Here's a brief history of the Russian hockey program partially told from the player's points of view".

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I would not recommend ABC's of Death 1 under any circumstances. Pretty much this. It's a bizarrely bad film. I think everyone goes in thinking "surely not every one of these is bad. There's some good filmmakers here so there must be something here worthwhile", but no. It's pretty much all bad. There's a few that are passable but I think if those had to stand on their own rather than surrounded by just the worst crap then even they would be underwhelming at best.

Most of it was bad, but the animated segment with the woman trying to get her poo poo back into the toilet, and it's making cute squeaking sounds the whole time was hilarious. Actually, I guess there were a few besides that one that were WTF enough to be entertaining, but I agree that it was mostly just not that good.

ABCs of Death 2 is okay. I liked it better than the first because it wasn't as fecal-centric, but it still varies wildly. I did like the surreal stop motion video for Delouse, if only for how bizarre it is. I didn't finish either of them, if that is any indication.

For my part I thought ABCs of Death 2 was actually much more mediocre. The first one at least had a couple memorable/good sequences, the second one is just really forgettable.

I gave Nightwatch a chance a few years ago and just didn't 'get' it. I'm not averse to some cultural wierdness in foreign films but it was just odd. Especially the video game fight scenes. Can anyone suggest why I should give it another go or am I just better off moving on?

Man with the Iron Fists is just dull, and bad. It looked potentially awesome as a preview but the reality is horribly disappointing. So many cool ingredients too. It's not entertainingly bad, either. Just bad bad.

Also, Season 3 features the girls from Russian band Pussy Riot.

I feel really bad that no matter what Paul Verhoeven did in his entire career making films in America, people still never loving caught the net. I'd honestly place Showgirls above RoboCop, and just below Starship Troopers in terms of his best American films. It's that good. (Context: Total Recall is unbeatable, basically. He should have just retired after that.)
