Re: Suggest a movie!
Boy. I am an instant fan of the Down in Front crew. Great insight and laughs every time. I've rewatched all my favorite movies with these wonderful new tracks. I have heard the crew mention "Last Action hero" in the past. I think this movie warrants a second look. It serves as a great lesson to screenwriters and satirists everywhere. So..."Last Action Hero" Please.
And, if there is time...Gremlins 2: The New batch.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Welcome to the forums, sir! How'd you find us?
Re: Suggest a movie!
Thanks to Zarban.com for leading me to the Down in Front Crew. Many of the other fan chats were inane. usually some kid getting plastered while watching 80s comedies. I'm popping in my Gremlins DVD tonight and almost a quarter thru the commentary collection. Keep em' Coming Fronters. And thanks again,
Another suggestion: Toy Soldiers with Sean Astin. Why so rewatchable? Is David Koepp a brilliant screenwriter? or is it Wil Wheaton with an AK?

Do Twilight, but try to do it sober O.o
Re: Suggest a movie!
And make it a serious post-mortem of the film rather than a snark-fest.
If anybody could come up with a way to make that piece of crap interesting, it's you guys.
Also, be sure to mention the fact that they put Kristin Stewart in heavy brown contacts which refused to stay on-axis, so she constantly looked like she had at least one lazy eye.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I've just watched 2012 and despite some forehead slapping moments I thoroughly enjoyed it. So yeah, as long as a film uses its stupidity in an engrossing, non-offensive way which is consistent with its overall tone, I'm all for it.
But when a film like No Country for Old Men suddenly pulls out a plot device from its arsehole that makes no goddamn sense, just so that its writer can get out of having to write a climax or resolution... that's when I have no tolerance.
Anyway... will check out Surrogates.

Would love to hear your take on the first Ninja Turtles.
And at some point you guys need to try some comedies.

And Ghostbusters II, which was kind of like a comedy, except for the being-funny part.
The problem with comedies and DIF is that often there's not much to say, other than "this is a funny line..." Comedies that are fx-heavy (you'll notice almost all of the above list are in that category) at least give us something to talk about. And in more than one of the above commentaries we still degenerated into "yeah, so... this is a funny line..." .
If it's a good comedy, it'd probably be best to just watch the movie and hear the good lines, rather than hear us describe all the funny stuff you're not hearing.
But if it's a lousy comedy, then maybe. (See: Ghostbusters II)
