2D Movie Night

Movie Linemen, Last night we watched a very important film. A film with very big stars and the best of plot. We watched Ivy’s inaugural pick, the 2016 Travolta opus, Life on the Line. In the grand tradition of Movie Night… this was a terrible movie. In the ‘rush’ of this movie, I forgot to take any screenshots. Which is probably good since the only thing funny about anything is Travolta’s facial hair. Which could be described as a scared Halloween cat smashed against his chin.  This movie is so sincere, every moment just oozes saccharine sentimentality. Some things that you should know going in.. Kate Bosworth is currently 37, Devin Sawa is currently 40. Is this what we look like now?!

Movie Rat-Monkeys, Jesse joined us for a movie night for the first time since… some movie… if you can remember what it was, I’ll give you credit on the sheet.This week we watched an all time classic from an Oscar winning filmmaker. This is a 100% true statement! We watched “Dead Alive” (aka Braindead) from Peter Jackson. Yes, ‘Lord of the RIngs Peter Jackson’, He started his career in New Zealand making these weird comedy gross horror movies. (bad taste, dead alive, meet the feebles) before making a normal movie called heavenly creatures and then ‘the frighteners’ with Micheal J Fox. the real question is how he landed LOTR with that resume?! Anyway. It was a small group, but 2/3 hadn’t seen it, so that was good. It was Erskine’s pick, but he can’t stay up later than my 2 year old baby, so he bailed at 6:51pm. 

Movie Ninjas,  106.5 because we did watch the first episode of the youtube series ‘Wayne’ last week. Well we did a thing. We watched the FP again and then watched THE FP 2 : Beats of Rage. I’m probably not going to have a great recap of the FP2 because I had about 6 beers by then and it all kind of flowed together by the end.  I have to be honest, seeing it with Q did open my eyes a little. Maybe I’d just gotten a little complacent and just really wanted to like the movie based on the concept and craziness. But I guess I glossed over the copious use of ‘nigga’ by white people through out the movie. I’ve tried to research some of the reasons/excuses that Trost has given for the use in the first movie. They all seem to be basically what he told Q. I was trying to say something

Movie Wolves,  Well, we did it again. We unpacked a weird one tonight. We checked off one that has been on the list since the beginning and on my personal Netflix watch list since it was still on Netflix. We screened the 2014 opus… WOLFCOP. Facts, I can’t find many interesting facts about this one. It’s Canadian and it’s seemingly marketed at that 1980’s nostalgia market. You want that stupid 80’s movie vibe but you also are living in 2014, well do I have the movie for you.

Movie Bachelors,  Last week we watched a Tom Hanks movie that included a character called Max the Sexual Mule, It was the Green Mile… lol. NO! it was Bachelor Party. Now I would argue that all Mules are sexual, but that is not the point. The point is that the 80s were a weird time. A time when attempted rape was a joke and as long as you didn’t have sex with them you could have as many hookers at your bachelor party as you wanted.

Movie Chumbawumbas, This week we showed the 2012 classic “The FP” to some new unsuspecting members. I believe it’s firmly a movie that is better to quote later than to actually watch the first time. Unless you see it in theaters where other people are laughing at the questionable directions the plot takes. It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s just wacky enough to hit the sweet spot for me. Bad acting (on purpose?) weird dialog, weird plot, but it looks way better than a movie filmed for 45K should look. 

No Recap!!!

Movie Students,  Last week we watched a movie so memorable that I forgot to do a write up for it. It had been on the list… since the beginning I think! It’s one of those movies that you’re sure you’ve seen but you can’t remember any part of it. Now I know why. It’s just by the book and not very memorable. 

Movie Brothers, So Mario Brothers… this was the first Video Game Movie, it’s known as a pretty big bomb and is not available on any streaming service. We had to download a copy that looked like it was stolen from Kazaa in 2000. But I personally think it holds up. I mean they didn’t have much to work with, I couldn’t tell you the backstory of Mario or even the world it takes place in. Really the only flaw in the movie is that it’s not MORE over the top. There’s nothing that stands out as like WOW THAT WAS INSANE. 

Movie Men,  This week #99 for the third straight week. We are really milking this 99th movie. We watched a movie that I knew existed, but had no real idea what it was about. I knew that it starred Mickey Rourke and that it wasn’t very good. But I was actually surprised, it was pretty well made it’s just that the plot didn’t make a lot of sense. Actually it kind of reminds me of that Nic Cage – WIllam defoe one we watched a couple ones back. It’s got some great scenes, they just don’t come together as a movie.
