Re: Let’s Make Neil Enter the National ‘Fame’ Talent Search

RobHunter — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:03:22 -0000

So when you say "Neil Miller will submit himself for the contest" are we to take that with the same grain of salt that accompanied his promise of performing the milkshake monologue from 'There Will Be Blood' at last year's Comic-Con?

Oh, and sing you silly bastard sing!

Hmm, interesting comment.

I love this movie. Fucking hilarious from beginning to end (except for the terrible terrible Janeane Garofalo bit while sitting on the stairs).

And it's normally a great tool for judging a person's sense of humor too...

Ebert makes a lot of factual errors, usually for films he doesn't like. Seems pretty clear his brain checks out part way through a "bad" film and he relies on spotty memory, assumption, and other people's notes to finish the review.

Re: ‘Hitman 2′ Recruits Young Writer

RobHunter — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:03:13 -0000

I'm not sure how Hitman can be both a box-office failure and turn a profit in it's theatrical release before DVD dollars even come into play... The movie cost $30 million and made $99 million worldwide (almost $40 mil domestic). I guess what I'm trying to say is you're an idiot and your PhD is highly suspect.

Re: ‘Daybreakers’ Trailer Wants to Harvest Your Blood

RobHunter — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:33:41 -0000

This looks pretty damn sweet, especially for a movie that seems to come out of nowhere. I'm not really a fan of the directors' Undead, but this is looking like a strong mix of action and imagery. Placebo is an odd choice though...

And I'm pretty sure a certain John Dorian has Dr. Acula copyrighted so you might wanna be careful tossing it around like that.

Re: Universal Temporarily Removes Michael Jackson Scene from Brüno

RobHunter — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:32:25 -0000

I'm usually enough of a bastard to agree with you Tucker, but I don't really see the problem with Universal's decision last night. If they cut it from all future prints then yes, it's ridiculous and pc, but trimming it for a premiere on the actual day Jackson died is a pretty decent thing to do.

Also, your new clown icon is creepy as hell. I prefer the one that looked like SNL's Fred Armisen.

Re: Watch This: First Trailer For The Invention Of Lying

RobHunter — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:45:04 -0000

I'm reading the script now and it's damn funny, although I don't know as the concept is really all that original. James Morrow's brilliant short novel "The City of Truth" explored some very similar ideas (and is also very funny.)

I haven't heard of the Totally Rad Show, but Dan Trachtenberg sounds familiar. Is she the one from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Eurotrip?

Re: Why ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ Is The Summer’s Worst Movie (And Why McG May Deserve An Apology)

I appreciate the support, but you may want to read more of my writing here at FSR before saying you totally agree with me... although in this instance I am 100% right.

Re: Why ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ Is The Summer’s Worst Movie (And Why McG May Deserve An Apology)

RobHunter — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:52:28 -0000

Some interesting points Fure...

1) How would humans not know Decepticons "fuck our shit up?" Did they not live through (or watch) the first movie?

2) I didn't intend to belittle ILM's contribution, and I did say it was fantastic, but it just isn't enough to save the movie.

3) I think my use of the word 'spooge' balances out my use of 'Pavlovian response'.

4) I called them robots but I also referred to them as sentient, which is why I questioned how they could accept being caged in car-form during their off-hours.

5) I agree with you on Jetfire, but that raises an interesting question... if Decepticons can learn and be rehabilitated, why was NEST rushing around killing all the ones in hiding? They weren't hurting people, in fact they were probably helping to build homes, hospitals, and strip clubs under the guise of construction equipment, yet no one tried talking to them before attacking.

RobHunter — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:18:25 -0000

Cakes are delicious!

1) The only criticism I had of them as robots was in their utter inability to target and hit what they were aiming for... seems that feature should be fairly standard.

2) Glad we agree on the Decepticon genocide. And I like the idea of a Cybertonian jail...

Re: DVD’s I Bought This Week: June 16th

RobHunter — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:30:21 -0000

Serious? That's a bit of doucherey on their part. Not surprising if true though as Blockbuster used to have an actual policy against carrying unrated versions of movies. They had to protect America from sex and violence see...

Re: DVD’s I Bought This Week: June 16th

RobHunter — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:21:46 -0000

Well I wouldn't say it's worth buying... how about Netflix? They should have the Killer Cut.

Also, can I still call you Tucker? Or is it KB Stoned now...

Re: This Week’s Worst Movie Ever: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

RobHunter — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:22:02 -0000

Wrong again Cole! This movie is awesome and far more entertaining than your recent fave Transformers 2. Yeah, I said it.

Also, Bison didn't do anything bad or illegal? He breaks Chun-Li's father's neck right in front of her. Seems pretty bad to me, plus that's what justifies his death later on in front of his own daughter.

Re: DVD’s I Bought This Week: June 30th

RobHunter — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:39:16 -0000

Thanks!

1. Not true. The action was good, there was a very simple plot, and Chris Klein was absolute comedy gold. I recommend owning movies you'll get repeat value from, and Chun Li is entertaining on multiple viewings. I promise.

2. It was hard and it took watching the movie again and again but I eventually came to the conclusion that a rental was the wisest choice.

3. Excellent.

4. Maybe not awful, but certainly boring. I enjoy slow movies if they're interesting and engaging (see The Pledge), but this movie was neither. Fans of the actors may want to check it out but otherwise I'd call it a pass.

Re: Matt Damon Gets Unbelievably Corny in The Informant Trailer

RobHunter — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:53:54 -0000

I first heard this story on NPR's This American Life and it was hilarious and captivating even then. Damon in comedy mode is great... remember his duet with Sarah Silverman? Supporting cast looks solid too with some unexpected faces in there. The only real wild card here is this Soderbergh guy...

Re: Movies We Love: A Clockwork Orange

RobHunter — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:08:30 -0000

This is a safe choice (and a good movie), but at least it's a few steps up from Josie and the Pussycats. I don't agree with your well-written assessment though. Not every viewer will feel empathy for Alex or excuse his actions by saying “Aww…the kid just doesn’t know any better.” The viewers that do reach that conclusion are the ones the movie is as much about as it is for.

Re: Ong Bak 2 Movie Trailer: Tony Jaa vs a Real Alligator

RobHunter — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:00:32 -0000

That's not Jaa with the gator. The scene is from early in the movie with a child actor playing Jaa's character as a boy.

The movie is pretty good, but the fights are absolutely awesome. Luckily they seem to take up almost half of the film's running time.

Re: Chaka Like Directing, Chaka Direct SNL ‘MacGruber’ Movie

RobHunter — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:06:12 -0000

Yeah, this was an SNL sketch before it climbed to the heights of television advertising.

Also, MacGuyver? Is that a manga series with Richard Dean Anderson about a guy in body armor who can build a bomb using only peanut butter and a bloody tampon?

So many sweet movies... very excited I am.

Also, Fure asked me if I want to join the mile high club with him during our private jet flight to Reject HQ. I'm thinking about saying "No."

The title of this post should have included some reference to Portman handling Thor's mighty hammer.

Re: Funny People: Raaaandy Documentary Part 1 Debuts Online

RobHunter — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:51:12 -0000

Remember that movie Punchline? With Tom Hanks and Sally Field? They played popular stand-up comedians? The problem with that movie was that the stand-up just wasn't funny.

Funny People is reminding me of Punchline.
