I saw Kick-Ass, I loved it but I wish they had made it a little less over the top and a bit more realistic, it was fun anyway!

Watched Meet the Spartans previously =D

Yeah, I saw some of Meet the Spartans yesterday and I thought it fucking sucked.

Aye, admittedly some parts were funnyish.

The dancing scenes ruined it.

The Erectile Dysfunction ad. I don't know why I find it hilarious.
"Maybe it's the economy" I'd like to imagine that train of thought as "Hmm, the FTSE is looking lOH GOD MY PENIS"

The only legitimately unrealistic thing was the jetpack, and that's because it had a ton of shit strapped to it. Everything else was plausible.

Hit Girl was legitimately unrealistic, but I don't think anyone cared. At all.

Hit-Girl was badass.

Burke and Hare.

Really funny and quirky. Plus It's nice to finally be able to say that we have a Simon Pegg character which is slightly different from most of the others he's played.

Nah, you see that's what I was getting at...

They never clarify that she isn't actually a robot, fucktard.

Now you just look stupid.

Now I just look stupid.

Now he just looks stupid.

Now I just look handsome.

Now he just looks handsome.

Now i'm a combo breaking faggot.

Now I have just watched a Wuxia Kung-Fu film called Royal Tramp 2 (didn't get to watch the first). It was unstoppably funny. Released in 1992, was the 4th top grossing film in China that year, and stars Stephen Chow. It didn't really have a plot, but the main character definitely becomes the ultimate Kung-Fu champion by having sex. It is essentially about a horny conman, and everyone is better at Kung-Fu than him. Fucking Masterpiece.

Kid has sex one time and suddenly he's the cock of the walk

There was actually a bunch more I added to that post (including a small party about a movie I watched), but then all of the women who control the Vbulletin posting system had their attention diverted from me for a split second and it didn't get posted.

It's a hard life, mine.

The only thing I really liked about Kick-Ass was Hit Girl but mostly that they put Sparks' This Town Ain't Big Enough For the Both of Us. When I heard that song I was like YEEEEEES!

I actually thought Kick-Ass was nothing special. Right now, I'm seeing The Godfather.

Secret screening of James Gunn's new movie, "Super". Rainn Wilson was great.

That trailer reminds me of Kick-Ass.

It's nothing like Kick Ass other than the fact that it has ordinary people wearing costumes. Trust me.

Saw Rango. Loved it. Without the talking animals it would have made a fine straight Western film, and the CGI was insanely realistic. I'm certain they spliced live-action footage into it somewhere. Character design was top-notch (sure Bullet Magnet would enjoy the anthropomorphism*), and I'm almost sad they put slapstick comedy into it, since it adds to the things you could use to classify it as a kid's movie.

Just go and see it, animation fans. You too, everyone else.

*That's the longest word I have ever used unintentionally.

I've been waiting to see it for a long time.

Oh, is it actually Hunter S. Thompson who hits Rango with the car?

Haven't the foggiest. I didn't notice him in the credits.

Bwahahahahaha! Classic.

I don't get it.

Two things:

• Rango is an animated film. The guy driving the car is not an actor, but rather a CG model.
• Hunter S. Thompson has been dead for six years.

:p

I was going to try and make some long meandering argument to try and weasel out of this, but this time I'm just going to put my mistake down to ignorance. I didn't know he was dead, so using his real voice in a CGI representation of him was feasible.

Hehe. I figured that's where you were going wrong, but decided to tease you anyway. Because I'm a dick like that.

Aren't we all?

I just watched the first Season of Jackass, getting the other two when I get paid. I love it so much.

Here's a really shitty looking video of the 'Land Skiing' stunt. This is my favorite stunt because Bam Margera, a man who has looked like this for as long as I can remember, runs straight into a stationary Ryan Dunn (the one actually doing the stunt) on his Skateboard, flips through the air and crashes face first on the pavement about ten feet away.

The part I'm talking about is in the last ten seconds. Not that you can tell.

Stupidest show ever. I love it.

My friend saw the latest Jackass movie. The 3D one. He says it was far more entertaining this time around because the cast have all aged into frail wash-ups and aren't the spry, foolhardy adrenaline junkies they once were.
They used to go in guns blazing, now they approach all of their stunts with trepidation. It's essentially two hours of old people getting hurt.

No really? Is that true?

Pretty much. Knoxville and SteveO are coming up on their 40s. They're no professional stuntmen, they're just masochistic tardbaskets.
I'm sure it was fun when they were 20-something and drunk, but now they're like "We're still doing this shit? Fine, shoot me with the paintball gun, just be quick about it... please.."

I actually respect the guys from Jackass. They're (physically) suffering for their art, and putting themselves on the line for our amusement. That is showmanship.

That's what sets Jackass apart. Most other shows (especially foreign ones) that tried to emulate them are just annoying over-the-top douchebags who revel in doing really, gross, unfunny shit. They're just like "sign me the fuck up!". And they all look like scraggly, addled skinheads. Particularly The UK's Dirty Sanchez. That show sucks and can go fuck itself.

But with Jackass it's not that they want to, they just know that it will insurmountably entertaining. Despite the fact that they don't, they kind of know what they're doing; Knoxville plans ahead for his gross shit, Steve-O calmed the fuck down and is now sober, and Bam Margera is a nice mix of that 'dumbfuck go for it' mentality. It is the perfect show.

Chris Pontius is still the best, though.
