I love IHE and
all his videos, and I actually encountered the Damn Daniel meme in my
car. I was driving around some 18 year old college girls. (No, I am
not a player, just a gloried rideshare guy) and they kept playing the
Damn Daniel video on their phone.
I didn't get why
it was funny, and I like strange and awkward humor. I still watch
Yee videos, but the Damn Daniel just confuses me. We'll get t-shirt and other BS due to this silly meme.
These guys showed up on Ellen. Really?
So, yeah, he
made a parody of the DD meme and now that parody has created its own
meme. Anyway, Durr Plant has become a meme in its own right. Heck
it has its own entry on
Know Your Meme.
What happens
when you cross porn,memes and 4Chan? You get 4Chan.However...
I discovered
this on Reddit, and I am not sure what I just watched. It's
basically a meme parody with a porn face. I even got the spray paint
joke IE from the lastest Mad Max movie. And, I like the Bane masks.
Brazzers seems to get the meme/internet culture. Keep in mind
Brazzers is already meme. I guess 4 Chan wrote the script for this
porn video and no, I haven't seen it yet.
I like this
trailer, because usually porn is in its own world doesn't tend step
out of it.
Again,
it is my favorite time of the year. Forget about the Oscars. I
could care less about those awards, but I get a kick out of failures.
And, I do this every year, so here we go.
Fantastic
Four (20th
Century Fox) – Simon
Kinberg, Matthew
Vaughn, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzer, Gregory
Goodman : This tied
as a winner with Fifty Shades. I heard so much bad stuff went on
behind the scenes. The director went crazy and treated his actors
like shit. The studio reshot the entire third act, which made the
movie really uneven. Entire subplots were dropped. I can't wait to
watch this mess. I wrote about
Fifty
Shades of Grey (Universal/Focus
Features) – Michael
De Luca, Dana
Brunetti, E.
L. James : Tied with FF. I've tried watching this mess, but
I can't sit through 2 minutes of it. I can't do it. That guy from
SOA was originally cast as Grey, but he dropped out. Smart move.
The book started out as a fan-fiction book for Twilight. That should
tell you everything about the story.
Jupiter
Ascending (Warner
Bros.) – Grant
Hill, The
Wachowskis: Damn, this is a big budget piece of shit movie.
This is really lame. This movie so of ended the Wachowskis' run as
movie directors and they deserved it too.
Paul
Blart: Mall Cop 2 (Columbia)
– Todd Garner,
Kevin James,
Adam Sandler:
Why did we need another Paul Blart movie so long after the first
movie. The movie might be one of the worst things I've seen last
year. If FF wasn't such a mess, this probably should have won.
Pixels
(Columbia) – Adam
Sandler, Chris
Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, Allen
Covert: Review is coming up. I'm putting the finishing touches
on it. I can say the movie is rather dull from an acting stand
point.
Josh
Trank - Fantastic
Four : The Winner: Did
Trank get screwed by Fox? Probably, but he did a lot of things
behind the scenes that made him seem petty. He hated his female lead
and treated her like shit because the studio forced her on him.
Then, there was that story about his dogs destroying a rental house.
I heard there was a police report. Trank would later pretend there
were no problems between him and the studio under one of Kevin
Smith's podcast, then he would later blast the movie and studio.
Andy
Fickman – Paul
Blart: Mall Cop 2 : Director merely for hire? There is
nothing compelling about the direction and feels like an 90s comedy
show...on Fox.
The
Wachowskis – Jupiter
Ascending: They seem to
have followed George Lucas in the way they made movies. I have no
faith in their storytelling and directing abilities. I think they
should have won though.
I hate/love this
movie. It is sheer craziness and bad acting. I think the Spawn
animated series was way better than this despite that show's flaw.
This is a fun bad movie I think. This movie screams “This is an
90s movie!!!”.
-How many times does Spawn say "Wanda"?
-CGI is the
worst thing about this movie: Even during its time, the CGI is texture-less and just bad. I remember the studio bragging about the
“ground-breaking” special effects.
-John
Leguizamo is over the top: However, that's how The Clown is
supposed to behave. I will give them credit for the makeup job on
him is great. Actually all the makeup jobs are great. He's better
here than Super Mario Brothers right?
-The movie did
turn a slight profit. It made 40 million more than its budget. So,
I guess there could have been a sequel. The budget balloon up from 20
to 40 million, but that is cheap at the time give the huge budget of
Superman Lives/Reborn.
-Making a black
character white: I'm okay with this just like when they make white
characters black from the comic book roots. Jimmy Olsen is black in
Supergirl. I don't like that they made Al/Spawn's friend white in
the movie because they didn't want the movie to be too black. So,
they give the white guy a Tony Stark mustache. I guess that makes
him black enough.
-A Sequel?: I
read that a follow up has been floating around for ages. I not sure
a Spawn 2 would hold up today. Spawn was such a 90s character.
Was that Marty
McFly in the orange vest walking past the camera?
Yeah, this is a
classic one I posted about years ago. I recently told someone at
work and it became a popular video to watch with the managers.
Looking back on it, I am amazed these two women even tried to bring
up a defense given that they jumped over the counter. Once you jump over
the counter, you're trespassing. And, what exactly were they planning on
doing when they got to him? Were they going to hand him a flower and
a peace sign? Of course they were going to beat the living crap out
of him.
What would you do in the situation?
I still think
Rayon McIntosh went too far with the beating once they were down.
However, a grand jury refused to grant any charges against him.
McIntosh did have a pretty bad criminal record. However, one of the
women also has a record. Actually,
all three parties in this case have criminal records. I find
that amusing.
From
the New York Post, ((All McIntosh was trying to do at the time
was hand Darbeau her extra crispy chicken sandwich. But Darbeau
turned on him, mocking his Caribbean accent, shouting, “You should
be deported!” and “banana boat!” McIntosh’s lawyer has said.
))
And,
it was over a 50 dollar bill. The two “ladies” got upset when he
or a manager checked the dollar bill. Part of the problem with the
black community is we are quick to answer insults with all out
violence. We then only blame the white man for our problems. People
have to understand that being a bully doesn't always pay off for you.
There is always someone that is a bigger badder bully or former
bully. Sometimes, we have to stand down and walk away.
Just saw the Rogue
Cut of X Men: Days of Future Past. I am really impressed with this
cut of the movie and it makes it a fuller story with the 17 minutes cut
back in. Anna
Paquin has a bigger part now
and is part of the main future plot. I always say you can never get enough
of Anna Paquin in a movie. I heard that they cut almost all of her
scenes out, but I had no idea they also inserted Kitty to take her
place and did some minor re-shoots to cover up some of the plot holes. Why
would you cut out a character that was important to the first two
X-men movies?
Here are a few worth
noting...
-Scarlet Witch gets
a mention aka Wanda: We know in this universe Quicksilver
does have a twin sister as well, and this new cut now adds this new
information. So, Quicksilver has two sisters. Was this deleted
because they used both characters in Avenger II?
-There is another
use of the F' word. President Nixon uses in this cut. Interesting
that I noticed that.
-There is a moment
between Professor X and a wounded veteran. In this cut moment, he
mentions he was wounded by friendly fire. Why delete this moment?
It is only seconds at most and it is a nice callback to First Class.
-Slightly more
Bishop: Bishop is barely in the theatrical cut, but has a slightly
bigger part in the Rogue Cut. He has some extra lines that reveal
he's the leader of this small resistance group.
-Mystique and Hank
subplot: This subplot is carried over from First Class. Mystique
shows up to Professor X's house and flirts with Hank. She then
destroys the Cerebro helmet. I am okay with this being deleted, but
it adds a lot to Hank's views on Raven/Mystique.
-Kitty and Rogue
plot line: This is the biggest portion added. Kitty gets hurt by
Logan and Iceman and Magneto break into Professor's old house now
occupied by the enemy. Iceman and Mag save Rogue and Iceman is
killed here. Rogue sucks some of Kitty's energy and she is the one
that uses the power on Logan. (Iceman was added to shots in the
theatrical cut, but he was originally dead at this point.) Kitty and
Rogue even share a moment talking about his passing too. I really
feel like they should have kept this subplot in the movie and Rogue
would have more than a cameo. It makes it a better movie to see
Iceman die for Rogue, plus Professor X has more to do also.
-Trask in jail:
There is an extra after-credits scene with Trask sleeping in Mag's
jail. It is funny, but I can see why it was cut.
I love hearing
Samuel Jackson yelling, but it is better when he's saying “mother
fucker”. He is the best at saying the word. And, I am glad some made a supercut out of it. His middle name is MF'er
I just got done watching the third episode of The People vs. OJ Simpson
and they had a rather shocking word at the end of the episode.
Marcia Clark says, “Cochran … motherfucker”. I laughed and
said “WTF.” However, that sums up the way they felt when Cochran
joined the team. Cochran was the ace in the hole.
And, yes they
can say Motherfucker on basic cable. From
Newser.com,((First, yes, FX is allowed to say motherfucker.
It can also show Game of Thrones-levels of
violence and nudity, if it wants. That's because the FCC only
regulates broadcast networks. According to Entertainment
Weekly, the only thing keeping basic cable channels
PG-13 is a desire to keep viewers, placate advertisers, and "stay
on brand." ))
Basic Cable has always had self-imposed censorship, but FX tends to
push the limits whenever possible. To tell the truth, I'd say 24 was
more R-rated than PG-13 without the boobies and that was on the normal Fox network. Say what you want about
Fox News, the Fox brand really pushes the limits.
It should be noted that Comedy Central tends to let things fly late at night.
Yep, I noticed
the Waze app promoted the Morgan Freeman voice, so I quickly
downloaded the extra voice. I got to hear Morgan take me to my work
last night. I wanted him to say things from his various movies. I
keep Waze on in the background and use Google Maps as the main GPS.
Now, here's the
thing; Morgan Freeman pops up with his voice when Waze wants to warn
you about something. I've gotten people in my car doing double takes
and saying, “Was that Morgan Freeman?”
~Jeb
Bush calls it off: I sort of liked Jeb Bush, but damn he had the
wrong last name. And, I am sure he is pissed because he wanted to
become President so bad. He doesn't have that deer-in-headlights
expression that his brother has all the time. He looks like that
meek manager in some tech store. I am sure he burns a picture of
Trump everyday. However, I do have to wonder about the large
amount of money he threw away. That's 130 million down the drain.
It is smart to get out while you can.
~Finding that drive to write
creatively again: Back in 2002-08, I had this drive to become a
writer and to have my own name on a cover of a novel. I had dreams
of having a book signing event in some bookstore. I truly was driven
and was a writing machine that spent hours writing my “book”. I
was really happy writing that book. However, something changed and I
lost that drive to write fiction. I think I came to the
realization that I wasn't good and my book was shit. And, I've never
gotten that spark back. I really admire these young writers that
still have that drive and hope of getting their stories published.
~Rachel
Dolezal names her child after civil rights leaders: I am okay
with this, but it will be interesting to see how her child will react
to her strange long con. I still can't get over the fact she went
all out with this “pretending” to be black thing and people tried
to defend it with the new stupid term trans-racial. By the way, type
in trans-racial into Google image and Rachel comes up on the front
page. I
can't believe this is a thing.
~Deadpool: I haven't seen it
yet. I will write a review, but I have to set aside some time for
the movie. I have back to back doctor meetings, so I may see it this
weekend. I have a few co-workers saying they loved it and it has
made a lot of money too.
I had no idea
this existed, but here's an unsold pilot. This came out in the early
90s and is just the sitcom version of movie plot. They've even taken
most of the jokes from the movie and cheapened them to the shitty 90s
sitcom.
It is basically
a rebooted universe from the movie universe and set in the 90s.
We would see a lot of this of type of movie to TV shows in the 80s
and 90s. People forget
the Gung Ho series. Since you can't show nudity on network TV,
this has nothing going for it.
This shit was
proposed to FOX, but was dumped. This is really bad and we should be
thankful this show didn't get picked up.
Man, this movie
hasn't aged well. It sort of came out during the time of Police
Academy, so it models itself like Stripes. There are tons of boobs
and unPC jokes and you can throw in some drug humor too. It also had
weaker sequels that aimed for a younger audience with PG-13 ratings.
There are things
to still enjoy about the movie and I don't hate the movie viewing it
through current eyes. It also interesting to see this movie with
2016 eyes with its stance on nerds and the culture. Back in the day,
this was the way people viewed you...as an outcast. Today, nerds
rule the world and cool people try to look like nerds with their
horn-rimmed glasses and skinny jeans.
Plus, nerd culture is so
varied and divided. I wasn't a nerd, but more of a stupid
geek/slacker/smart ass, but I identified with this movie growing up.
And, the overall message, buried in there with boobs and weed jokes,
that outcasts have feelings and want to live their lives without
constant bullying is a good one.
-John Goodman is
in this: I tend to forget that he's in this movie and looking very
young. He plays the coach and he's really good playing the
asshole/bully. His character hates nerds and I've met some coaches
just like him in high school.
-The Gay Guy:
In 2016, the way they handled the gay character is very
stereotypical. I wouldn't call it offensive, but misguided. He
would be an outcast due to the views in the 80s. I did like that
they included him in the group due to nerds coming in all types.
Today, this character would be a character part of a different group
altogether.
-Lambda Lambda
Lambda : I still get a kick out of the fact the nerds apply for a
black fraternity . All the race jokes are very funny especially the
music joke at the party. The leader of the Tri-Lambda group is
played by badass Bernie Casey (from DS9 and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka).
I loved his scenes. I also like his reaction to the party scene.
BTW,
this is now a real fraternity!
-Party Scene:
Speaking of that scene, everything seems to work for me in the long
scene. It feels like an 80s comedy movie. Weed, Michael Jackson,
sex, and the pig prank. I like how the nerds and the “not so hot”
chicks start to have fun due to the weed. I also feel bad for the
party goers when the pigs show up to crash the party. It is mean,
but having a bunch of guys mooning them does make me laugh. Why
didn't the women moon them too? This is a hard R and the women are
sitting on the truck with the guys. Speaking of which....
-Fully Nudity:
I remember seeing this as a kid and being shocked they not only
showed a lot of topless women, but showed women fully nude. This was
one of the few movies that did that. And, I don't think women just
walk around topless in dorms like this, but I am not sure. I've
never been on a panty raid . People give this movie a lot of flack
for the panty raid and cam-spying scenes. However...
-The rape scene:
There is a scene where one of the “heroes” pretends to be the
boyfriend to the “hot” cheerleader and proceeds to have sex with
her. (Though it is implied he just does down on her, looking at the
movie with older eyes) I'm no SJW or PC police, but this treads on
our “hero” raping her. He had sex with her under false
pretenses, and he didn't get her permission clearly. Just because
she is okay with it doesn't make his action okay. Rape is not the
sort of revenge I want from my teen boob-comedy.
-Cheerleader
Leader Chick: Uh, she isn't really not my type. She is so skinny
that you can see her rib cage in her topless scene. I guess that was
a thing to have women look like they were starving. Plus, she looks
to be late 20s or early 30s.
-Actually,
everyone looks to be about 25-30 years old here.
-James
Cromwell plays the father: He's only in one scene, but I
couldn't believe he's in this film. He know plays government type
leaders, but here he is a greasy nerd. I got a kick of this because
he would later be known for his Star Trek roles.
I love how the actors really fit right into their old
roles. And, it seems fitting that Ed would still be working at Good
Burger. It is good to see Kenan & Kel back together. I still
have a strange fondness for the movie Good Burger, but not the
Sketch.
It is a bad movie, but I can't help but to like it. And, you can throw in some Sinbad too.
Will we see a
Good Burger II coming up? I hope so. Shaq is up for it.
