It’s where the bald guy injects so much adrenaline into his body to stay alive that he has a big ol boner

The second one is where he shoves a shotgun up someone rear end, becomes Godzilla, has sex with Amy smart in the middle of a horse track

Exploration is ill-advised.
Ghost Rider movie should basically be a longform metal music video.

Half of Taylor/Neveldine went on to make the shows Happy! and Brave New World, both of which are pretty cool, but the other half (Neveldine) made The Vatican Tapes, which is not.

I mean, there's a good chunk where it's the perfect encapsulation of the Internet, where they're using the Gamer puppet technology to recreate Second Life, with Milo Ventimiglia of "Heroes" and later "This Is Us" fame playing an avatar called Rick Rape.

Fun as gently caress movie that really benefits from being made before Cage managed to pay off his castle (it's a paycheck gig but that paycheck matters!). And Eric Roberts really brings it.

He explicitly rapes her, but it's okay because he's so good at sex she's into it by the end.

It is a problematic classic yes. Very 2000’s.

Don't press play
Speaking of William Fichtner, I saw a beautiful 35mm print of Contact recently, and mistook Fichtner's character in the film as being played by James Woods. Well, who should turn up later in the film than... James Woods, playing an appropriately greasy senator.

Inspired by this conversation, I went and checked out Fratliners Pathology, the Ventimiglia vehicle based on a Taylor/Neveldine script. And yeah, it's incredibly edgy and does a lot of their things, but also a) directed and edited so slackly that it ends up failing to find the fun in a fairly fun dumb (D-U-M) script, and b) clearly been degayed in the edit. Because that film is so loving gay. There's an orgy scene and every time the dudes look like they're getting close to each other it cuts to ladies frenching.

So at least they're equal opportunities pervs, is what I'm saying, which makes them better than the vast majority of sleazoids we got in the 80's through 00's.

Edit: they should have adapted Catch-22, not Clooney.

That's too many protagonists, I'm worried they'll each need a cool little scene to both introduce and hype them and that'll be more than half of the movie.

I mean, I guess they could knock them all out with one musical intro like the games, but that'd require me to believe the movie is good.

I like the look of the characters/costumes, I think they got that right. But yea, if you want to kill any possible enthusiasm I could have for a movie all you have to do is put Kevin Hart in it.

I do respect Blanchette's willingness to do all sorts of crazy poo poo though. Her career choices are all over the map, which is fun.

It was also pretty much entirely reshot when Eli Roth vanished from the production because he refused to do reshoots.
