I don't care if a sci-fi/fantasy/whatever post-apoc movie is "plausible", I just want to know why that guy is still (almost 30 min in) wearing his supermarket uniform vest and name tag. Take that poo poo off.
I dunno. I could see myself doing that as my mind slowly untethered from what is normal. Sort of my wasteland raider gimmick.

We ended up watching The Man Who Invented Christmas which was actually pretty entertaining. It had a manic, almost farcical energy to it which I found hilarious.

No sarcasm intended. I enjoyed it. It might help if your brain is as broken as mine by years of seasonal Hallmark movies.

If you liked Kung Fury, there's a new one that just came out this week. It's called Commando Ninja:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Gec5JbQAg

It's French, but it has boobies and English subtitles. Instead of doing the Kung Fu Nazi movie tropes, they do the Vietnam Predator/Platoon/Rambo/Mad Max tropes instead.

I thought Turbo Kid was fine, because unlike Kung Fury, it wasn't trying anywhere near as hard to be funny. It was pretty much a played-straight sci-fi movie, just with a whacked-out aesthetic and Le Matos on the score.

I wouldn't say it's really played straight, with everyone riding little bicycles instead of motorcycles, etc.

I still felt everything but the gore effects in Turbo Kid were intentionally half assed, what's the point in watching something like that if not even the filmmakers put effort into it.

I mean, there's goofy aesthetic details like that, but they're never really made into outright jokes. The little bicycles are handled with complete seriousness and an entirely straight face, even if it's more or less expected that the audience is gonna laugh at that.

I thought the first half of King Fury was amusing but the last half drags too much. Making it even shorter and more condensed would have probably improved it.

There was some horrible talk about making it into a full-length Hollywood movie but surely that idea has di-

And then they’ll pull The Office from Netflix and make it exclusive to their new streaming site and the backlash will be incredible. It has to be one of the most rewatched shows on the service.

Maybe once every single network has their own streaming service they can bundle them all together for $160 a month. They could even make their own boxes that they rent out to customers for $10 a month.

Baki is up on Netflix. I know there's an unspoken no anime rule, but you should really watch an episode or two just to see how fast and loose they play it with concepts like body proportions, physics, and martial arts.

There's a scene of one dude shoving bullets into another dude's mouth and using his teeth as firing hammers by uppercutting him. The dude who just got his mouth blown open then immediately proceeds to shrug off his injury and massacre the first dude.

I don't think there's really a no-anime rule here of any kind. I would imagine it mostly doesn't get discussed here because Netflix and Amazon are the only "general" services with a big anime selection, and most of what's on either of those is pretty bad (Devilman Crybaby and Baki are basically the only Netflix Original anime worth a poo poo).
