Preacher is slightly overrated and so very 90s, but damn do I love me some Punisher Max.

Michael Jai White is fucking awesome. UNDISPUTED 2 was better than the first film largely thanks to him and BLOOD AND BONE kicks the ass of most theatrical action releases, even though it's direct-to-dvd.

THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is okay…
But as far as DIRTY DOZEN rip-offs go, I much prefer the Hong Kong film EASTERN CONDORS.

You kidding me? BRONX WARRIORS is fuckin' awesome! Mark Gregory and his bizarre, effeminate walk as a pouty-lipped, permed biker named Trash. Cops with flamethrowers on horseback. Fred Williamson AND Vic Morrow. Stilted, cuss-filled dialog like "it could be a pile of shit out of somebody's asshole!" What's not…

The god damn cornrows…
Just when I thought white girl cornrows couldn't look any worse they stick them on Mena Suvari, the girl with a forehead you could project a movie onto. It was fucking distracting. She looked like Jet Li in a period kung fu film.

He's not complaining that it brought girls there, he's complaining that it brought Twilight fans there. That's fair enough, although I really think it's all the movie studios that ruined Comic Con.

So…
How exactly do you look at the devil in the face if you're up his ass?

Juding from how often it gets a mention on The Hater, I'm pretty sure Amelie Gilette has every single season on DVD.

Really enjoyed this documentary
Be warned that if you're going to track down any of the films mentioned, like most exploitation films of the era they are full of boring talky bits and nowhere near as action-packed as the clips make them out to be. Also, I don't know what sort of image processing they used on the…

Doesn't matter how crap it is…
It will still sell a bajillion copies while the good games rot in the bargain bin. Now that games have gained mainstream acceptance we are discovering what's true in every other medium… people want crap, and lots of it.

Comic Con!
Comic Con has become a forum for Hollywood PR shills to hype up their latest shitty blockbuster first, and a celebration of comics a very, very distant second.

When she jumped out of the window…
…she didn't land on top of a car, blowing out the windows and setting off a car alarm. Somebody really dropped the ball on that one.

Razorback is my favourite Jaws rip-off of all time.

Michael Bay is worse than Hitler
I am going to cock punch the next person who says "What were you expecting, Citizen Kane?" I LOVE dumb action movies, but Michael Bay's movies are a special kind of cynical, hateful dumb. It's like he is pissing in people's faces and they are gargling and frolicking in the yellow…

Women…
… am I right?

Are you talking about that film with the two guys who are actually crippled? I've seen some clips online but to be honest it looks pretty bad, I haven't been motivated to seek out the full movie. I don't think it's a sequel to Crippled Avengers either, except maybe in spirit.

There was a sequel?

I think it's safe to say that American Beauty blooooows. Blowing the lid off suburbia? Kind of late to that party, Sam.

Playing through this game now…
Something that can't be overstated is just how smooth and responsive the controls are. Everything just feels natural. Climbing buildings is great and intuitive but when you try to jump down you tend to gravitate towards the wall and stick onto every single ledge on the way down.
