Horrible cameos? I think you're forgetting something.


Holy ol' Jesus!
One of my favorite subtle movie moments is in that segment, when you see a bottle of Popov or two around Jordy Verrill's house. There aren't that many depictions of that awful stuff in many movies. When I was in my early 20's and drinking large amounts of it, I always enjoyed seeing it in my viewings of Creepshow.

Fun fact "Popov" backwards is exactly the sound a drinker makes when over-consuming that particular beverage. "VOPOP!! VOPOP!!"

Okay, people, could we perhaps focus a bit more on general subtle movie moments and a little less on Watchmen specifically? This is fast turning into PYF Opinion About Watchmen.
I've been reading this thread since it started, and every time there's more than 50 unread posts I know there's been some people debating something stupid about a superhero movie or comic book adaptation. Take that crap elsewhere.

Remember the insanity that was "That's the beauty of it; it doesn't do anything?" People were quoting obscure radio dramas from the 1920's in an attempt to be the most right on an online comedy forum.

Camacho would be a better president than anyone currently running.

Was it this this thread that pointed out that Camacho was actually a good president? He recognized there was a problem, he publicly acknowledged that there was a problem, he got the smartest guy in the country on the problem, and it got solved rather fast. These things aren't easy for politicians.

Super is a lot better of a movie when you're not up your own rear end taking the whole thing seriously. The lead character hallucinated the rape scene and you're a complete idiot if you missed the details indicating that.

No way man it was all a hallucination that happened in the microseconds before that one person died.

The day that moves time forward again doesn't involve him loving over a couple of hapless armored truck drivers. That's the opposite of all the good works he does running around town.

Either a big city weatherman can afford that kind of spending or he cancels it later.

I still say he totally stole from the armored car and he's going to get away with it. Fewer surveillance cameras a quarter of a century ago.

Yeah but he rose from a mountain of cocaine shouting oneliners with the help of a machinegun.

Its like billy the kid, like pirates, like highwaymen, like all of the other multitudes of romanticized criminal occupations.

He only truly cares about the people he loves and the movie shows him thoroughly alienating his family, killing his best friend, betraying his business partner, falling in love with a woman and losing her through assholery, and losing any ideals he might have once had even as a Cubano street thug. Then he loving dies, pointlessly. It's loving depressing and I've definitely never gotten the hype.

You reminded me about this paragraph describing Bop-It from its article on Wikipedia:

quote:

Thus if the Bop It is to call out "Bop it!", the player must quickly depress the "Bop It!" button. If the Bop It is to call out "Twist it!", the player must quickly turn the "Twist it!" crank. If the Bop It is to call out "Pull it!", the player must quickly pull the "Pull It!" handle.[3][5]

It's ok to love Starship Troopers as hilarious satire though, which it is. Not really the same thing as ironically liking something. But yea it's one of those movies where a lot of people completely missed the point. It's amazing to think that Starship Troopers was made before 9/11, its very prescient in that way.

I'm going to show young people Starship Troopers in the following decades to explain to them what it was like in America right after 9/11.

That's a good one, and a weird one. I always liked the five Bachman books that exist. :colbert:

Rage could make a poignant movie but man no one's gonna touch it with a ten foot pole and King's never gonna license it. I'd like to see someone redo Running Man, too. You could easily apply its manhunt theme to social media harrassment. If I ever come into movie production cash I'm funding that, under the condition that it keeps the ending.

You think no one will ever make Rage into a movie because it involves gun violence at a school but think that a remake of The Running Man, a novel that ends with someone flying a plane into a skyscraper, would be totally feasible??

George C. Scott Christmas Carol is the truest to the book and isn't just a lovely adaptation of a former adaptation. The book has a severe message and the ones that water that message down are the worst ones. I don't include the ones for kids in my hatred of the bad adaptations, however.

As Christmas Carol adaptions go, Richard Williams' animated version is also an underrated adaption like Muppet Christmas Carol.

It's one of the eeriest versions and its visually fantastic.

I think its only been released on VHS, (Which is I how saw it as a kid) but its on YouTube.

I'm going to have to check this out. I love the crap out of Christmas Carol and and I'm down for another good version.
