Sometimes, when watching a flick, I see a plot point that makes me seriously yell out, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!"
For instance, first of all, what jackass decided to put Vanilla Ice in
TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze? And for that matter, who said, "you know what'd be awesome? If, right after 6 gigantic mutant animals bust into a dock club located in Manhattan, someone starts laying down a smooth beat and Vanilla Ice justs busts into an impromptu song about how the Turtles fight and their own, personal ninja styling of staying hidden." 'Cause while we all look at that scene now and laugh about it, and consider it on par with Academy Award winning flicks, we all know deep down, that scene is fucking stupid and makes us all go, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!!"
Of course, that entire scene was probably a pre-cursor to those horrible rock shows that the Turtles did. Now, I'm not an expert on ninja related things like stealth and the art of invisibility, but I am an expert on rock concerts. And unless you're in the audience and not flashing titties, you're not fucking invisible on a stage. I don't care how drunk I am, I'll notice a massive fucking turtle holding a keyboard or a guitar.
Anyways. Hey, do any of you think that they do background checks at IMF? Seriously, we've had 3 movies thus far and how many villains have they faced that have either come from their flock or had allies at IMF? All fucking 3? And how many times have they thought it was Ethan Hunt? All 3? At what point do the head honchos in charge take a step back and ask themselves, "you know, I don't think it's Ethan?" Seriously. The first time, Brian De Palma spent 2 hours confusing the audience into thinking it was Ethan, but we all knew it wasn't. No, not because we're the audience and are privy to such knowledge, but because it's Tom Cruise. How many times has he played a villain? Christ, he can barely play an action hero. How many people here are gonna buy him as a super evil dick with plans for world domination?
But yeah, the next M:I needs to use a different villain device other than "hey, let's have someone else at IMF turn traitor!! This time, the janitor!"
Hey, here's a question: am I the only one who thought that it was totally unnecessary to make
Jason X? You know, the one where they set the entire film on a massive ship in space and let Jason just have at it? I don't mean unneccesary in the sense that the world needs another Jason film like everybody can use an STD, I mean it in the sense that, they only reason they made it was to see if there was sufficient interest in the character to make the kick-ass
Freddy vs Jason. Dude; your core audience is made of retards, fuck-ups, bikers, and goth kids. That's at least $15 million easy. Unless your budget is running higher than that, and how could it, since you always hire people from fucking CANADA to be your stars and film the entire thing in a friend's big-ass garage, you can make Freddy vs Jason vs Chucky vs Mike Myers vs my dick and still make tons of money.
For that matter, was anyone ever scared of Chucky? No? Alright then. I think the fact that we laugh at him more than fear him and his 2-inch reign of terror is mockery enough? It's not, you want more? Alright then, here we go.
I dunno about you, but if I had a knife-wielding maniac chasing after me, I run. I grab my shit, I get out the door and if the kids don't move fast enough, fuck 'em, I drive off anyway. But if I can pick you up and literally throw you the fuck around, and you're the knife-wielding maniac, then maybe you should rethink all your life plans. Maybe take a step back and re-evaluate your decision making skills.
"Let's see, I am 5 inches tall. I'm made of plastic, a substance that burns and melts easily, and I am this way because after getting shot up, I put my soul into a doll, whose ironic name of Good Guy dolls lost its appeal after 5 minutes. Maybe what I should've done is just right the fuck to Hell. 'Cause this just doesn't seem to be working."
What amazes me the most is how stupid the people are in his movies. There's a plastic DOLL chasing you. You know this. Why not start looking accordingly? He won't be down low, he's never underneath stuff. He's behind plants, or in closets or hiding in a backseat. And let's also not forget THAT HE'S A FUCKING DOLL!!! You're in a room filled with antiques and suddenly there's a doll dressed in overalls and sneakers! Call
Antique Roadshow and let them have at it, Hoss.
That's enough? OK, moving on. Jessica Alba doesn't look like a stereotypical blonde. She looks fucking hotter than a sinner's ass in Hell in the middle of July (assuming, of course, that the tempature of Hell changes with the seasons). Her as a blonde is a level of hotness the world has never seen. We need to watch out, 'cause she might set the atmosphere on fire.
