I see the hate here but I honestly think this looks fun. I like John Cena in stuff and at least keeping Awkwafina busy doing this means she has less times to “voice act” in any animated movies.  

Gonna disagree,   I think John Cena does action comedy the best out of all the meat necks in Hollywood because he is the only one that will actually be the butt of the joke.    This actually would have been better if they cast a straight-man/woman opposite him instead of Awkwafina.  

The Lottery and How To Cook for Forty People

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. 

Just pretend the book title is “THE LOTTERY AND OTHER STORIES” with the “AND OTHER STORIES” in really tiny type the the sweatshop Koreans couldn’t drawn into the animation. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1841 transcedental philosophy essay?

I realize this is missing the point of the joke, but “The Lottery” was a short story only a few pages long. It always annoyed me to see this scene because it makes it look like it was a whole novel that would be an entire book.

While La Femme Nikita is the better movie,  I always enjoyed Point of No Return for what it was.  It also has a stacked cast of 80s character actors

Just don’t confuse it with The Delta Force, which was definitely not made by Cannon as a satire but still manages to look like one for how hilarious it is. It somehow makes the Libyans terrorists in Back to the Future less comical and more respectful

Yeah the leather trenchcoat and scientific experiments on live bugs were kind of a giveaway and a perfect example of how the movie gradually amps that up.

I’ve known people who have said they did not understand it was satire or that the humans are clearly fascists and I just can’t comprehend that when Doogie Houser walks into the third act dressed like an SS officer.

Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best sci fi movies of the last 20 years.  I think what made it subversive was the timing of release.  Cruise was at a weird place culturally and a lot of people were amused by the idea of seeing him die a few dozen times.  That’s an unusual marketing hook.

Yeah it’s a completely different animal from the sequels that followed. I know it gets compared to Alien/Aliens and the Rocky movies for the sequel pivot, but those mostly took what was in the original and blew it up bigger. Other than the rampage at the end of First Blood, there’s almost no connective tissue with Ramb…

Set it Off was so so good. I saw it as a double-feature with Bound at an LGBTQ film fest, probably ranks as a top-5 double feature for me.

It probably helped that the trailer plays the movie completely straight. There’s no hint that the film is a satire. Even within the movie it’s not until you get a couple of the propaganda clips under your belt that it becomes apparent.

The term “elevated horror” gets thrown around a lot these days, but you don’t hear much about “elevated action.”

For me Starship Troopers prefigured The Boys as a satire that flew over the heads of at least part of the audience. I know people who to this day do not understand that it is anti-militaristic and take it at face value. (Mond you, these are the same people who laughed instead of cringed at Clint Eastwood’s Korean jokes…

It didn’t fail at being FUCKING AWESOME though.

Can’t argue against the fact that she got millions of kids reading again. There weren’t too many kids lining up to read 700-page books before HP came along.

In A Violent Nature was indirectly about loggers. They killed the main big bad, who rose from the dead to exact revenge.
