Nthing BASEketball. I saw that movie in theatres: my Dad took me to see it when I was in like seventh grade. I don't think Mom appreciated that or how it informed my sense of humour. Also, a kitchen I worked in had a poster of Victoria Silvstedt (Playmate of the Year) on the wall. EDIT: I have also Steve Perry'd many friends in games of darts and pool. In a similar vein, I like a few Pauly Shore vehicles, most notably Bio-Dome. This one is weird, I cannot watch it with anyone else except my best buddy in the world who I've known since cribs and strollers. On my own or with anyone else I can't even make it through those painfully 90s opening credits, but dude and I have probably seen it dozens of times together. Shooter with Mark Wahlberg is one of the earliest-added movies in my Plex library. It came out in '07 so it was definitely when I was still a bit of a CHUD. It's still sort of a guilty pleasure, only in part on account of Mark Wahlberg. I liked Red Dragon a lot more than Silence of the Lambs. It was a decent adaptation of the book IMO, but I think it was kind of panned critically? I feel weird watching it, Norton feels phoned-in but Fiennes is legitimately scary in his role. Boondock Saints, Equilibrium, and Swordfish. I don't think I need to elaborate on these. Mister Speaker has a new favorite as of 05:04 on Mar 14, 2024 |

oxyrosis posted:I agree, Son-In-Law is one of my most treasured Thanksgiving movies. Just remembered, my first exposure to Pauly Shore was this movie, probably a bit too young. I think my folks went out to rent some tapes and I asked for "The Sandlot" and they heard "Son-In Law."

hallo spacedog posted:cremaster cycle Oh man what a trip. My high school art teacher played this for us over the course of several classes. It is so perfectly pretentious and self-indulgent, the kind of work that people point to when they're making fun of contemporary art. But I love it.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before ITT, but another comedy that's objectively bad but I love, is Freddy Got Fingered. I don't know if there's any truth to the idea that it was Tom Green's big 'gently caress you' to Hollywood for being dumb enough to platform him, or if he was just having fun with it. But it sure is vulgar and has almost no rhyme or reason to it. He's a 28-year-old man who lives at home with his parents and has a half pipe in their driveway, yet he wins their affections (initially) over his more squared-away younger brother. There's no real way to ask this without being insensitive, but was he supposed to have a developmental disability, was this left on the editing room floor? I don't recall it being to heavy-handed with slurs but it was from the right (wrong) era of MTV comedies. All I know is it sure is funny, and very quotable. I've said to security guards before, "It's OK, I'm here with a bag?" And certain friends and I will do back-and-forth Rip Torn impresions; "PROUD?" "PROUD." The animations, from the Ren & Stimpy-esque 'Zebras in America' to the stills the movie opens on, are also hilarious. "I SAY 'HELSINKI', YOU HEAR 'GENEVA'?!?! YOU'RE FIRED, BOB! CLEAN OUT YOUR LOCKER AT THE CLUB BECAUSE YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

Unperson_47 posted:I liked Cabin Boy at the time and always wonder why Chris Elliot kinda just disappeared after that - or at least it felt like that. I haven't seen it since then so maybe I should rewatch and see if it holds up. I thought Elliott had a decent career in the B- or C-list. He was in There's Something About Mary. Cabin Boy was a bizarre one. Watched it with the gang at the cottage once, when we got rained out. It might have in part been the drugs, but it felt like a fever dream. Always fun to see that absolute unit Brion James in comedies.

I thought Sam Rockwell was really good as Zaphod Beeblebrox, but he's good in everything. He brings this unexplainable groovy energy to every role he inhabits.

Swordfish's marketing survived entirely on news that Halle Berry had a topless scene, I refuse to believe otherwise. But yeah, I absolutely love it. The blowjob hacking scene, the other scene where Jackman is building the 'worm' and cackling at his own computer abilities, the TVR Tuscan with the pearlescent paintjob, the Matrix-style camera move around the hostage explosion, Oakenfold's soundtrack... The plot makes no sense, is Travolta a Mossad agent or what? What is even his angle, to sow chaos?

Oh wow it came out in 2001. I thought it was much earlier. I would have been 14, and my best buddy and I 100% saw it because of the topless scene.Modal Auxiliary posted:I vaguely remember her lowering a magazine or something to reveal her boobs, but haven't seen it in forever. I saw it in theaters with a friend whose main motivation was Halle's berries, so the marketing definitely worked. Yeah this is exactly it. She's sitting in a deck chair reading a book. Jackman approaches her and she puts the book down and he's all taken aback and trying to avoid looking at them, it's pretty funny. The bus/helicopter escape was honestly pretty cool. EDIT: Rewatching this movie now out of nostalgia. Lmao I forgot that it opens on Travolva literally looking at the camera and saying "You know what the problem with Hollywood is? They make poo poo." Obviously suspension of disbelief for a 25-year-old action movie, but that hostage blowing up definitely would have killed like a dozen cops, but we can see a couple of them squirming around afterwards. Hugh Jackman's acting is atrocious in this. And someone in Set Dec had a lot of fun setting up his ex-wife's hungover walk through her porn producer husband's place. Oh hell yeah, I forgot Vinnie Jones was in this. Mister Speaker has a new favorite as of 19:48 on Mar 26, 2024 |

I also have a soft spot for the original Mario Bros movie. It had so much weird potential, the way it interprets some things from the game (1Up mushrooms saving Mario's life, Bullet Bill cartridges in the high-jump boots, etc.) was fun, and some of the original concepts (like how all the cars in the Koopaverse are powered by the ceiling like bumper cars) was legitimately cool. It is a BAAAD movie though, yeesh. You read that blurb about how everyone knew it sucked and they all got drunk on set all day... and you can tell.

I had never played any of the Wing Commander games before I saw the movie.

3 DONG HORSE posted:I am a connoisseur of terrible movies but my absolute favorite bad movie is...BATTLESHIP! He has that accent in just about everything, I love it. Tell me, does he pound his fist against a desk and yell with conviction "YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!!!"? Because if not, what are we even doing? I also liked Battle: Los Angeles. The alien designs were unsettling as hell. And it's just schlocky ooh-rah GWOT jingoism with no filter. Aaron Eckhart screaming "US MARINES" every time he entered a room was pretty funny. Actually back to Neeson for a bit, I kind of enjoyed the A-Team remake. It too was stupid good fun.
