The Shadow is very much a good bad movie. There's a lot to make fun of but it's got enough redeeming where you'll have fun with it.

Yep. I went with my Dad and I could feel the "what are WE watching?" emanating from him in the seat next to me. I had probably been talking it up for weeks in advance like a dumb nerd too.

Dear cast of WHM,

We all know as you have said, it's okay to like a movie. Please also begin to understand it's okay to not like a movie. I'm starting to wonder if they had financial interest in Star Wars 7 or the new ghostbusters considering how often they're "taking the haters to task." It's kinda tedious.

(The new Real Ghostbusters AD episode has a mini Ghostbusters 2016 on screen in it and that's fine, but there's more than one reason to not enjoy a movie besides owning cargo shorts and perma Cheetos stains on your fingers.)

So, Jupin (and a few other local friends) liking the new Ghostbusters movie is convincing me to go see it in theatres. I was going to wait until it came out on Blu-Ray, but I suppose I can take a huge leap and go see it on Budget Movie Day.

I pretty much 100% agreed with Jupin's reaction to it and it seems that's more or less the vibe my friends have too.

I'd say the rolls are at least better because you heat them up and are getting a hot pizza simulacrum in your mouth. Combos are just lovely pretzels with bad flavoring.

TMNT 3 was an excellent episode, audio wasn't quite Jupiter Ascending quality but still fine. I liked the bits on the animatronic turtle heads, and the tangent about the entire cast being gunned down Godfather style.

Any show that starts with 'I promise we'll talk about turtle dick' is probably a good one.

The Fantastic 4 getting their powers from a gypsy curse actually sounds more interesting than whatever the Trenk movie tried to do with them.

Also one thing I like about the reruns is how the old eps would use clips from the movie, like showing off that one dad's amazing acting.

yea the marvel universe being one giant web of romani curses would be 100% more interesting than half the stories we have already.

Dubstep Electro was one of the best things in that movie.

I actually like Electro a lot in it and think if it was just 'weird crazy guy is obsessed with Spider-Man, gets powers, goes even more nuts' it would have been really good.

But A) no loving goblin mutant nonsense and Rhino poo poo, just do Electro as the baddie, and B) actually show Electro as a weird loser who's insane. The movie has way too many 'heh, been there right guys' kinda moments at the start where it's like we're supposed to sympathize with Electro being mad that Spider-Man, a dude he never met beyond seeing once, forgot his birthday or whatever.

I'm an Amazing Spider-Man apologist, I admit.

Though the new guy seems good too, looking forward to Homecoming.

I kinda hope they read more just stupidly angry emails like the Batman one, because that was something we can all enjoy. It was so over the top it could well have been fake, but even if it was it was firmly in the 'you spent so long on this fake joke that it doesn't matter how unserious you were about it originally' side of things, and it was all just about being angry they didn't pick up on the finer points of a movie where a piss bomb murders congress.

Like, the racist/misogyny stuff would get just kinda unfunny and depressing fast, but surely they have plenty of turbonerd emails getting angry at them saying Mortal Kombat Apocalypse sucked.

Yea I'll actually defend Home Improvement, because usually they were decent about making the jokes half "Tim is right and this thing he's upset about is dumb" and half "Tim's actually an idiot and his wife/friend/whatever has to explain to him to be a not-lovely person." Most of the 'man stuff' was just 'I wanna work on my car and play with my tools'. In Last Man he's basically just angrily reading Breitbart articles while a laugh track plays.

I think the special cut whatever version of Suicide Squad is a decent movie. Nothing I'd ever see a second time but it's miles better than BvS and even Man of Steel, both of which were firmly in the 'garbage I regret watching once at all' side of things. I'd still take literally any Marvel movie over it I'm pretty sure, but yea I don't think we can call it the worst hero movie of the year when BvS was around too.

That said there's absolutely tons to make fun of and I'm eager to hear them make fun of it.

"Troma film" could mean so many things though, like I get why they would be down on "the typical Troma film" which is probably what they mean, but at the same time, Tromeo and Juliet, Killer Condom, LolliLove, and a bunch more I'm sure I'm forgetting, are legitimately good films

yea "Troma film" alone is pretty useless as a term at this point. I'm also pretty sick of the 'standard' Troma film too but they've done enough mold breaking to have some gold stars despite that feeling. I think they've mentioned a couple of those as movies they like so, yea they probably just use that to mean the general 'style'.

I feel like Will Smith really wants to get an Oscar, but doesn't quite understand the difference between bad Oscar bait and an actual Oscar contender. When he didn't win for Ali or The Pursuit of Happiness he lost what ability he did have to tell the difference.

Poor guy just didn't realize that simply because Helen Mirren is in something doesn't make it good. Honest mistake though.

Yea it really does feel that way. Smith is clearly a smart dude (despite being in a crazy alien cult) and he understands the concepts around oscar bait kinda stuff and you can see he's trying to play the game, but he has to turn everything up to 11 when really if he just made kinda a generic emotional movie about a man who has to deal with some poo poo and finds hope in overcoming it he'd probably at least get a nomination.

As discussed above, the WHM guys have a deep knowledge of film. They're not going to call a Steven Soderbergh movie 'bad' because it gets a bit meta. I hate people who call anything less realistic than a Christopher Nolan movie 'bad', and WHM are too smart for that.

Check this site for more good, weird movie crit: http://366weirdmovies.com/

you're not wrong that there's nothing wrong with meta stuff inherently but I'm also positive twelve is the one where Julia Roberts had to impersonate Julia Roberts for a very prolonged scene so gonna have to disagree that this was just 'gets a bit meta'.
