Movie Thread
Re: Movie Thread
Only good MIB is the original because it was right after Independence Day so Will hadn't yet become the superstar who owns summer. Now that he's been humbled a little maybe he'll do better. That Ang Lee clone movie looks a'ight, and Bad Boys 3 will suck but maybe not as much as 2.

Repo Man (1984)
I've watched so much current year shit lately it was about time to restore my faith in cinema, what could be better way to do it than rewatching this 80's punk rock science fiction cult classic, an epitome of pure cinematic anarchy.
Right from the opening credits the movie grips you with its awesome soundtrack. Emilio "Hamlet" Estevez is an alienated teenager looking for his place in life and he meets Harry Dean Stanton, he's the shit, who is a repo man confiscating cars from people struggling with debt problems, and he's looking for new recruits for the business. It's futile to say anything else about the plot, it's complete nonsense, further it goes the more nonsensical it gets, but this is not about the story, it's about the experience.
The movie captures the 80's feel perfectly and it's one of the most quotable movies of all time, it's kind a spiritual prefiguration to Tarantino's films. It's a special mix of dry humor, unexpectedness, great music, anarchism and occasional surrealism. It's packed with bizarre scenes like Emilio dropping a dead rat in a convertible driven by some random woman and then getting pepper sprayed and left behind by his negro friend. Doesn't make much sense out of context? No worries, it doesn't make much sense in context either.
Holy sheep shit, does this film deliver! It also has one of the most fitting endings ever, Emilio's response to her girlfriend after she begs him to stay is legendary. It's only soome goddamn dipshit Rodriquez gypsy dildo PUNKS who don't get this movie and I feel sorry for them.
Woah, this is intense. 10/10

When passing through the Valley of Humiliation, slaves and dastards, exposing their sores, sob aloud for consolation and sympathy.
Re: Movie Thread
Apparently they're remaking Escape from New York with the director who did Upgrade. Can't say I'm up in arms. Escape from LA was one of the lamest movies I've ever seen and John Carpenter is a weirdo hack who does his own music just because.
Cast Amber Heard as a lesbian snake who spends half the movie naked and the other half in skin-tight leather. Or, which they'll probably do, get the weakest, most metrosexual soy boy possible for the role then make it an allegory for ORANGE MAN BAD!

"Repo Man" is easily in my top 5 favorite movies. It's got everything plus Harry Dean Stanton.

The Child's Play remake is a bona fide unintentional comedy. It's been a very long time since I've laughed that hard in a theater

Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

Re: Movie Thread
He doesn't mention that fact much in interviews now, though. Probably because he now realizes that everything in They Live has come to pass via the works of California Democrats. He unwittingly wrote the script for them to follow (since when were the media behind Reagan?).da PAC Nigguh wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 12:15 am

Snake Plisskin is the biggest libertarian there is. Escape from LA makes more sense as fighting against a vegan leftist theocracy than an actual world religion. The president in Escape from NY is basically your typical cowardly bleeding-heart, and walled exile is how most leftists would like to see government run jails run anyhow.
...and still: Spoony did nothing.
