@avclub-6d8e5be200a835beb77d899f00b890a5:disqus , reminds me of one or more current American political factions, as well.

Who names a bar after their fish, anyway?  Stupid bar.

That's a much better way of saying it, yes.

I think it fits.  There's definitely similar tropes, and it's not like the writers or Diesel are unfamiliar…

Hey, Ignatiy!  Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?

The director's commentary is footage of the director answering questions at a bar while the movie is playing in the background.  It is also pretty awesome.

He's Bill Pardy.  In Slither.

If by "scat" you refer to Roger Corman films, Ray Dennis Steckler films, cheesy '80s TV series, and so forth, then I would have to answer with a qualified "yes."

I know, right?  Seemed like the perfect set-up; the perfect killer, in a culture where you keep what you kill.  And then they had to come up with a reason to throw him off.

Let Riddick loose on all the pedators we can round up…

If you don't know that some people have a taste for shit, then I got some German websites to direct you to…

Well, that's when DZNF kinda passed out.  Electroshock only animates a body for a limited period, you know.

More like they have Blade Runner references, such as "Tannhauser Gate" and such.  Not sure I'd say it's a sequel.

Tastes vary.

It depends on your tolerance for bombast and cheese.  I enjoy it a great deal, particularly for Kurt Russell's portrayal of his limited ability to communicate and emote.  But then I really enjoy cheesy direct to video flicks.  If this had been out as a direct to video, it would have been genius.  As a major theater…

Wanna get your Big Lebowski on, then?

Despite all that, they still had a few good bits.  Like the teacup.

But if you get a kick out of crap, then it works well.

Apparently, eye-jobs were all the rage in the deep dark maximum security hells Riddick grew up in.  They were just lucky they had a murderer with a vague sense of conscience on the ship.

Silver Shamrock!
