Speaking of 'Alternate History" style movies, what's the deal with that one with FDR in a steampunk (well...I guess dieselpunk) wheelchair fighting Nazis? I saw a trailer for it, but I was never sure if it was a fake trailer or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R898wegx6Y Barry Bostwick...that guy who played the creepy Other "Ethan" from Lost, Ray Wise as a general?! What's not to love? Other than werewolf Nazis who look more like furries...  Ahh, comes out Sep. 24th according to IMDB.

He's a pretty funny guy and sort of insane (though not it in a bad way). His stories are always pretty loving weird, but that what makes them entertaining to read and, as far as the movie goes, having Bruce Campbell as Elvis was the best thing.

I'm not sure if I could sit through the whole film alone, but atleast it looks like a really good film that doesn't take itself seriously, like something by RedLetterMedia. "gently caress polio," indeed.

Gaunab posted:The newest one they started playing this week with the guy giving a presentation on it has a weird atmosphere. Like they wanted it to be funny but then at the end go "No, this poo poo is serious loving business!" BAM. That's it right there, this movie is taking itself way too goddamn seriously. I looked into a little more and turns out that in this flick, vampires support the Confederacy because they want a steady supply of slaves to feed on.  That is really, really not something you can play with a straight face. The Grimace posted:See, now, that's loving hilarious by comparison.

"gently caress polio," indeed. Exactly! This looks to have the same the same tone that Black Dynamite did, and even if the whole movie isn't that funny, at least it (probably) isn't going to do something absurd like show the Nazi werewolves rounding up the Jews for human livestock and make it a serious dramatic plot point.

One that has really been bugging me as of late is the BK(?) commercial with the two people who met online and are on their first date. That goddamn song gets stuck in my head for hours afterward.

I don't know whether I love or hate this Florida Lotto commercial. Weber beat them to the I've Got a Feeling rip-off punch a while ago, though. Also, next time you use actors in your testimonials, Netflix, you might want to come up with better fake names than poo poo like "Blade V."

I really, really dislike the Toyota Venza "cool parents, lame kids" commercials. It really comes off as a pretty desperate move by some aging baby boomer ad executive that doesn't want to admit he's getting old.

I like to think of that girl with the 600 facebook friends or whatever has that many friends and has no life because she has no job and $90k of debt thanks to her shitheel parents.

Or the guy who moved in with his parents because he can't get a job and instead of trying to include him in their activities his parents just ditch him and don't even tell him they've left the house.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but that Bacardi commercial with the 1950s party really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. The music gets stuck in my head, but I guess the whole idea that "fun" in history is a party with a bunch of rich white people (and some token minorities, mostly attractive women) is annoying, too.

How about that pretty much nothing in that commercial resembles either actual history or the popular film/TV version of it? It's so fictional it might as well be taking place on Mars.

On the radio I heard a few commercials for an anti-tinnitus drug called "quietus." The word has some unfortunate definitions. Also, it's what they called the suicide kits in "Children of Men."

Dr Christmas posted:On the radio I heard a few commercials for an anti-tinnitus drug called "quietus." At least the suicide kit was cleverly named. I never knew that's what "quietus" actually meant. I thought it was some Web-2.0-sounding name that they mashed up. They should just called the anti-tinnitus med "Ring-be-gone". Of course, that ringing in your ears, that 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts.
