2008 movies, you say? In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale Jumper (god, I hate that movie) Wanted The X-Files: I Want to Believe (aka: the really boring X-Files episode) Babylon A.D. (Vinn Diesel AND Gérard Depardieu?!?!) Max Payne (terrible movie but it means more Donny Wahlberg and Goober and the Herculoids) Also: Mother loving Rambo, which would be a We Love Movies, simply because its so violent and wrong. 2008 really felt like we were just about done burning off Matrix-style actions movies that felt like they came out in the 90's edit: gently caress, I forgot about Meet Dave and Swing State. enigmahfc fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Sep 19, 2017 |

In fairness to Wanted it can't be as bad as the absolute loving shitheap of a comic it's based on.

enigmahfc posted:2008 movies, you say? Rambo is one of the goriest movies I've ever seen. I think they spent the first, like, 5-10 minutes setting up the Myanmar army as the worst people in the history of the world just so you'd be okay when Rambo starts slaughtering them wholesale. He turns a minigun against one guy at basically point blank range, and entrails go flying. That movie is...quite something to behold.

I mean, he's done some good stuff, but yeah too often he comes across as someone trying to be edgy and shocking for no other reason than to be edgy and shocking. Like the original Old Man Logan; it's a good take on the idea of a post-apocalyptic superhero world, you have Logan and Hawkeye doing a cross-country thing, very Western vibe, then we get into Bruce Banner's inbred hick Hulk family. Or, as a better example, the entirety of Nemesis.

Punkin Spunkin posted:You can't start an "In fairness" and end it with "not as bad as Marc Millar". Like, I'd hope not. Any film adaptation of Millar is bound to be better than the source material. Only comic of his I could even stomach was Huck. The rest is edgy tryhard garbage ala Garth Ennis and Frank Miller. Ennis at least has the best Punisher run of all time under his belt. Hell, his Punisher run is in the running for one of the most consistently amazing runs of a comic ever.

Also the comic didn't make him a murderer by mowing down a bunch of guys with a loving jetpack armed with machine guns like it's no big deal, either. I realize this is probably the faintest praise I could give the movie, but still.

Evil Mastermind posted:I'll disagree about Kick-rear end the movie being better than the comic (I mean, they're both really bad), only because at least in the comic there was the realistic reaction when Kick-rear end told his non-girlfriend he wasn't really gay and was just pretending to be close to her. As in, she told him to gently caress off and had her new actual boyfriend beat the poo poo out of him. Then in Kick-rear end 2 her entire family is murdered and then she's raped.

Calaveron posted:Also in 1 she texts Kickass pictures of her sucking her boyfriend's dick because???? Because Miller had a glimmer of an okay idea in "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if our 'hero' did some stupid poo poo he thought was romantic and it backfired on him and caused the girl he loved to hate him?" so he had to ruin it by taking it like 50 steps past where it needed to go.

Punkin Spunkin posted:I liked Preacher when I was like 17 to be sure but revisiting it and then also trying to read The Boys...yah I'm happy including him in the edgy tryhard list As has been already mentioned, his run on Punisher is largely top-tier stuff, as is his work on Hellblazer. He also did a World War II series-Battlefields-that is very good. Ennis certainly has his edgy side, and a lot of his career has been built on that, but he's also a legit good writer who runs laps around the other two when he writes sincerely.

Just don't let Ennis near superheroes and you're golden. We loving get it dude, you think super heroes are lame we don't need another comic where you make Wolverine gay and a total loser who smells his own farts because he's a big dork loser.

Fart City posted:The Love Guru and Postal both came out that year, which are both certainly worthy of scorn. But I feel like there's good money on them doing Speed Racer. It's a divisive film and has its defenders, but it would give them pleeeenty to talk about. I'm 99% sure at least one or two of them have professed their love for Speed Racer after a tall glass of water. But it would make a great episode. Love Guru has got to happen though.

Croisquessein posted:Hard to believe, considering the vision of Hell in All Dogs Go To Heaven. http://lostmediaarchive.wikia.com/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time_(Original_Uncut_Version) Basically, Spielberg and Lucas saw an early rough cut of the movie, saw the Sharptooth stuff that got cut, and went "okay this movie is for an audience of near-toddlers, this is going to loving traumatize them" and had a few specific shots cut out (apparently less than a minute in total) relating to that. Then the movie went to test screenings at a length of about 80-82 minutes, still terrified kids, and everyone involved went into panic mode and started hacking the movie to pieces. It's actually kind of funny you mention the Hell sequence from All Dogs, because that was cut down pretty badly from the original too for similar reasons (and they just found the uncut footage of it last year); it's just less of a movie-destroying edit than what happened to LBT. It's honestly a miracle that LBT is still as good as it is, and I'm honestly pretty hype for the original edit to get dug up because it's probably incredible.
