Wonder how likely (or unlikely) it is that Mr. Plinkett will be a guest riffer someday...

Wouldn't it be a horrible shame if all the subscribers on this RLM facebook page clicked the thumbs down button for the Jack and Jill trailer on the official Happy Madison youtube page? That would be so unfortunate if that happened...

I guess Happy Madison can't understand that nobody wants to see this movie and they are better
off saving some dignity by relegating it to a direct-to-dvd release?

Slightly OT, but I'm reminded of the time I saw Punch Drunk Love in the theater. It was obvious that most of the audience thought it was going to be like a Happy Madison production. They laughed their asses off at the preview for The Hot Chick, especially this elderly couple a few rows in front of me. But once the film started, the audience gave off such a collective level of squirm-inducing discomfort & bewilderment that I've never experienced before or since. I couldn't help but notice the back of the head of this old woman who'd laughed at The Hot Chick repeatedly turning to her husband, as if they were duped into watching a porno or something (that was the expression: "this is a sick movie").

What befuddled me was that most of the audience were adults & some senior citizens, and they were the ones guffawing at The Hot Chick. Not kids. Senior citizens were guffawing at Rob Schneider's antics. I found it dismaying. "Is this what's considered 'keeping up with the times'?" But at least I gained a whole new level of appreciation for my grandparents, who have a generally respectable taste in films (as in, they're not cinephiles but they don't watch stupid shit; Basically they'll watch a movie if it gets a good review on NPR).

Anyone have similar experiences in audience discomfort?

Half in the Bag: Transformers 3

Transformer 3: Annie Hall

I think Mike is at least 3/4 in the bag on this one. The ending gag just killed me. It's like the ipecac scene in Family Guy. I don't know why I find that kind of shit so funny, but it just busts me up for some reason.

You know, I'll defend Transformers 3 to a certain point, but I'll never declare movies like Inception or
The Dark Knight to be overrated, and I think they're right, Inception and Dark Knight are great and
intelligent films and the Transformers movies are completely idiotic in comparison.

I absolutely loved Inception. I actually thought it was too deep, even for me, and I usually love that
sort of story-telling.

That being said though, I still enjoyed Dark of the moon. For a Michael bay film, it was pretty good.

Same here. I think it's the juxtaposing of highbrow with lowbrow. It's why I like Monty Python & love the Mr. Creosote sketch in The Meaning of Life. Something inherently funny about being cerebral one moment & disgusting the next.

I'm just trying to imagine the overkill that Michael Bay would bring to a pie fight. It would go on forever.

Like they said in HiB some people will say "It's Transformers, what did you expect?" but that's still no excuse for a bad movie.

On another note surprised but glad to see plinkett fans here. Some months ago I posted on this forum a critical post on the Clone Wars TV show and the whole idea behind and practically got lynched. Got accused of trolling and had my thread locked. Didn't come back for a while after that fiasco.

Oh, you're not the only Star Wars critic here. We just tend to post individually, at different times, fending for ourselves.

Nowadays, though, I think you're only called a troll if you say something positive about Bittorrent.

I give the TV series a pass, because I'm really not that interested. But that being the case I am
certain that it could never be as bad as the prequels. Speaking of, I am curious... does anybody
wonder if Plinkett is ever going to review the Clone wars movie or the Holiday special?

Confused Matthew reviewed the Clone Wars movie and he put it so eloquently when the stinger
at the end of his review was Obi-Wan's misshapen animated face saying "We are in NO position
to go ANYWHERE or do ANYTHING!"

Very mixed review of Captain America. I haven't seen it yet so I can't really comment. Bonus Rocketeer compare/contrast segment.

Nice to see that they can give a really positive review.  Actually makes me want to see the movie now.  I was going to wait until dvd because it just seemed like such a dumb concept, but this sounds good now.

Yeah, these guys are tough. Seems like a decent indicator this movie is pretty damn good.
