The odd, bald biker's line about his day job as a teacher still kills me every time. Also, bonus points for the casting of Vernon Wells as the lead biker, thus cementing his status as an awesome 80s bad guy (see also: The Road Warrior and Commando).

I never double post. I blame the internet.

Oliver Stone…

Tatum had ZERO personality in this movie. At least some of the other actors *looked* like they were having fun.

So I bit the bullet and saw GI Joe this afternoon. It's not necessarily a bad film, it's just very generic. Nothing in it looks or feels remotely real or touchable. At least the transformers look like they are real rather than computer models/whatever. For example, there are parts of the movie with fantastic super…

I've never seen a Red Box machine that didn't use anything other than credit card.

Movies I have rented from Red Box instead of seeing in theaters
Tropic Thunder*
Iron Man*
Quarantine**
Dragonball: Evolution***
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li***
Push**
Curious Case of Benjamin Button*
Punisher: War Zone**

And the award for podcast I never want to listen to goes to…
….*drumroll*… this one! Seriously though, neither of these films interests me. Where's my GI Joe podcast!?

Ferris Bueller is probably my favorite John Hughes' movie as well. I've lived in Chicago my whole life too. But the Chicago of that movie is a make believe fairy tale I'm glad to visit every time it's on cable.

Well crap…
I know it gets a lot of snark around here, but I love Breakfast Club and Ferris Buehler is a fucking great movie despite the frat-boy love it gets from college assholes.

"Vincent, please stop throwing eggs at Adam and Burt."
"With a full artillery? Not a chance!"

Thread over. Not Jackie Chan wins the internet.

Earvin "Magic" Johnson

Wow…
That was the dirtiest newsbite I've ever seen on the AVClub newswire.

Loved it…
The gymnast sketch was so weiiiird in a way I can't even describe, but worked well. Michael Ian Black is also oddly attractive in drag, not unlike the members of Kids in the Hall. They really went overboard with the makeup and hairstyle too.

I think she looks like she was hit in the face by a frying pan. She's not attractive to my eye at all. But then again, Cera is pretty fugly too. I hear a lot of comments from people like "Why is Cera with her?" I think they're perfect for each other, really.

The ridiculous scenes from the cereal box perspective, the awesomely bad scene wherein the "scrunt" attacks Bob Balaban, the lack of magic in any of the "magic" scenes, the plodding nature of the film (it moves like molasses on a cold day), do I need to go on? It's a fantasy film stripped of any fantasy, directed like…

It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in theaters. But I agree on Giamatti. He really gave his all in a terrible film, which makes him cool in my eyes. Literally everything else about the movie sucked, the acting (besides Giamatti), the story over all, the writing, the direction… it's just a bad movie. But…

I always confuse the two (damn you, similar premise same time movies!) until I inevitably go crazy and am forced to look them up on imdb.
