I actually think that they should have just remade Tron instead of doing a sequel. Tighten up the story, get all our fancy new effects in there, and you've made a remake worth watching.

Re: The Silly Title Game (28 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Dr. Rex McPkAnk, DDS (John Hurt) is a simple dentist who just got out of jail after twenty years, having been framed for a crime he didn't commit. After teaming up with a private eye named Jack McJames (Michael Keaton), he decides to find the man who framed him and bring him to justice.
But when the villain (Tom Hanks) murders Dr. McPkAnk's entire family, he realizes that the time for justice is over. The time for revenge has begun.
In an excruciating fifteen minute scene, Dr. McPkAnk slowly tortures the villain using an entire table's worth of dentist's tools.
This summer, see the movie that's sure to have everyone screaming in their seats. Don't forget your floss...
Day of Evil. Day of Terror. Day of the Dentist.

Re: Most remakes make me puke! (11 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Because Mel Gibson needed a career boost.
But a lot of remakes are actually great. The new Dawn of the Dead, Scarface, The Magnificent Seven, The Departed, 3:10 to Yuma, The Blob, both Solaris remakes...

Re: Avatar and Disney's Animal Kingdom (6 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I'm still waiting on the Avatar book that he said he was writing. But Pandora does seem perfectly suited to a Disneyland ride. A "Banshee Flight" roller coaster, maybe an indoor coaster with those glow-in-the-dark plants, maybe even a rail shooter with laser bows and arrows.

Re: Erased from existence (12 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I don't mean to sound like a pretentious ass, but I honestly wouldn't want to eliminate any film. That isn't to say that some films don't deserve it, but I have a soft spot for bad movies as well. Every film has it's place in the world.
I wrote that post, and I was about to hit Submit before I remembered The Last Airbender. Fuck that movie.

Topic: The Silly Title Game (28 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Alright, so I couldn't think of a better name. Sue me.
Here are the rules. I come up with a silly, stupid-sounding movie title. (Clash of the Leather Blankets, Ghost Dench, The Phantom Menace, etc.) The person who posts below me uses that title to construct what the plot of that movie might be. Then they come up with a new title for the next person. Of course, these can't be real movie titles, and they have to be randomly assembled. Try not to make ones that imply a specific plot; make them as vague as possible. In other words, don't make them good titles.
I'll get us started.
Assault and Batteries

Re: Hm. (8 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Here's something we could do. Make a title out of completely random words, like The Smiling Vengeance of Mr. Orlando or The Headlamps in the Bushes. The person below you has to come up with the plot of that movie.

Re: Suggest a movie! (2,061 replies, posted in Episodes)
The Host would make a great DiF. I don't really like it (I think it's a little too silly, and I didn't really buy any of the characters' actions), but it would make for a great discussion.

Re: Sucker Punch (37 replies, posted in Episodes)
You guys all missed a great trepanation joke/Ghostbusters reference, by the way. It was the perfect opportunity. "Hey, that would have worked if you hadn't stopped me" is a great line, and I use it a lot, but you guys were actually talking about drilling holes in heads. That sort of setup comes along once in a lifetime.

I don't think anybody is walking away from this commentary happy.
Actually, I was really pleased with this commentary. It makes a great argument in favor of the movie while still acknowledging its flaws and coming up with ways to fix them.

Re: Suggest a movie! (2,061 replies, posted in Episodes)
Last year you did both Dawn of the Deads, this year do Let the Right One In and Let Me In. And maybe now is the time to do Zodiac? It's not really a horror movie, but it's still due for a commentary.

By the way, now that I've actually listened, this is really fantastic stuff. Good job, everyone.

Maybe ads or announcements for it in the DiF feed? Maybe even before or after episodes for a few weeks?

Is this gonna get its own iTunes feed? Will it be integrated into the DiF feed? Or will it stay website-exclusive?

Not sure I agree. I think his character in Shaun of the Dead was a great match for him. Nick Frost's character in Hot Fuzz? Another perfect match.

Re: Cool vids...again. (1,649 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Did somebody say "creepy cartoon"? Aside from being freaking terrifying, it's actually pretty cool.
And to top off the strangeness, those kids are supposed to be the main characters from Tom Sawyer. And Mr. Einstein-esque over there is Mark Twain.

My favorite example of confused subtitles comes from the Firefly DVDs. Whenever they start speaking Mandarin, the subtitles say "Speaking Alien Language."

Re: So. Anybody want to see DIF 3.0? (60 replies, posted in Off Topic)
The slide for Kill Bill Vol. 2 has the correct one-liner, but the image and the title are the same as Vol. 1, just dyed blue for some reason.

Re: Kill-a Bill-a Volume Two-a (25 replies, posted in Episodes)
Buried is streaming on Netflis right now, so maybe I'll finally get to watch it.
I agree with Teague about preferring this one over Volume One. I'm actually much more familiar with Volume One, mostly because Volume Two is longer. However, Volume Two is so much more emotionally resonant, which makes sense, considering that it was supposed to be the emotional climax of the film. I'm really curious to see if it still plays as well as it does in The Whole Bloody Affair.

I don't think he's passive. I think he starts out that way, but his arc is that he grows to take action and care about things.
