Unlikely ideas for a box-set
 
I just came up this this little idea.
Basically, put down two films which would never be sold together as a pack.

E.T. the Extra Terrestrial & District 9

Aliens VS Predator & Pride and Prejudice

Some Like It Hot & Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Josh 10-29-2009 11:35 AM

Busty Vixens 7, Saw II and Bambi.

Fun for ALL the family. Even your creepy uncle!

AlexFili 10-29-2009 11:58 AM

Just, not at the same time!

Grieva 10-29-2009 11:59 AM

'Requiem for a Dream' and 'Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle'

'Apollo 13' and 'Failure to Launch'

abe619 10-29-2009 12:34 PM

Sweeny Todd demon barber of fleet street and Let's go to prison.

also if games are allowed: Resident evil 4 and Curse of monkey island

Godfather I and Godfather III

Hazel-Rah 10-29-2009 02:11 PM

Star Wars and Star Wars Episode I

Wings of Fire 10-29-2009 02:13 PM

One time when I worked at Gamestation they were selling God of War & Lego Star Wars as a package deal.

AlexFili 10-29-2009 02:13 PM

Chicago, Teeth and Knowing. (Just because they're all one word long)

Grieva 10-29-2009 02:26 PM

Star Wars and Star Trek,
though that might crush the universe into a singularity

Sekto Springs 10-29-2009 03:16 PM

The greatest of Phil Hartman and Andy Dick.

"Roots" and "Snow White".

I deserve whatever i get.

Pilot 10-29-2009 05:08 PM

Why did I keep reading the title of this thread as "Unlikely ideas for a sex-bot"...?

I'm gonna have to say that the dumbest thing I ever saw was an Adam Sandler two pack- both of the movies were Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. :confused:

Leto 10-29-2009 10:21 PM

black cheerleader gangbang and amputees anonymous.

because no one likes both.

Nate 10-29-2009 11:57 PM

I once saw Titan A.E. and a Powerangers movie in a box set. Though I really, really wanted Titan A.E., I couldn't bring myself to own anything Powerangers-related and passed on the offer.

Day Of The Dead (original) and Dawn Of The Dead (the remake).

anyone who liked that shitty remake wont like the former, and whoever likes the former wont like the latter. and i know Dawn Of The Dead is not the remake of Day Of The Dead, its just i find the last of the living dead movies was the best, in my opinion.

shaman 10-30-2009 07:26 AM

"Welcome to the jungle" and "Tropic thunder".

Hear, hear. I don't care how much people go on about Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead was better. Nobody seems to agree with me, though.

An unlikely pairing? Sooty and Bobby Davro.


AlexFili 10-30-2009 12:00 PM

Box-set most likely to confuse people;

Saw III & Rocky V & Rambo IV

Sekto Springs 10-30-2009 12:05 PM

Dragonball: The Magic Begins and Dragonball: Evolution.

Josh 10-30-2009 12:07 PM

The TV show is better than both movies. Mainly because Evolution was shit.

The tv show is pure unadulterated garbage.

Sekto Springs 10-30-2009 12:32 PM

Mat, everyone gets one "like something everyone else thinks is crap" card. I get the Dragonball saga, you get Dark Shadows. Deal?

OANST 10-30-2009 12:39 PM

I didn't even know you liked that. You've been playing that one close to the vest.

Sekto Springs 10-30-2009 01:05 PM

I do thoroughly enjoy the Dragonball series, all of it up until GT at any rate. I don't know why people hate on it, I'm guessing because they're only familiar with the god-awful dubbed version which has been butchered heavily to market it to young American audiences. As far as story goes, it does have a very repetitive formula, but it all comes together in the end and, if you were ever arsed to follow it closely, would see that it really develops over time.

*waits to be torn apart*

OANST 10-30-2009 02:12 PM

It bores the shit out of me. Battles that are twenty episodes long just don't interest me.

Sekto Springs 10-30-2009 02:20 PM

Yeah. The show had a lot of filler that wasn't in the manga. Fights that were but a few pages long in the comics were thinly sprawled over twenty-five episodes of the show. This lessened the dramatic intensity by a wide margin, because all the juicy bits would happen like five episodes apart as opposed to all at once.

Mac Sirloin 10-30-2009 07:29 PM

Every season of Fillmore! And Freakazoid with Vynil figures of Fillmore, Ingrid and Freakazoid.

Well, they do have one thing in common; they both suck.

Well obviously you're a stupid asshole.

That was never being disputed.

Strike Witch 11-03-2009 11:56 PM

Or you could just read the original comic which not only features all the gore but cuts all the crap out as well.

Plus, reading "oouuh" is quicker then listening to an voice saying "oouuh".

Donnie Darko & The Pokemon Movie

MeechMunchie 11-05-2009 12:18 PM

The ending of Donny Darko was crap. He killed his past self, essentially stopping the events of the film from ever happening, rendering the entire plot irrelevant. They may as well have said 'Then he woke up and it was all a dream'.

Grieva 11-05-2009 12:45 PM

Jurassic Park and Gosford Park, they both feature dinosaurs

just kidding Maggie

Fuzzle Guy 11-05-2009 01:08 PM

I think you may have misunderstood what was happening there. Of course, that is completely not your fault. That film's plot was fucking incomprehensible. The Director's Cut explains more, but it is nowhere near as good.

It's one of the few films that I've seen that made the major events intentionally vague and indecipherable that I could say that I liked by the end. It's not the great achievement in cinema that some make it out to be. Neither is it the giant turd that others say it is. The characters and dialogue were of a quality that made the plot mostly irrelevant, and I can still enjoy it on that level.

MeechMunchie 11-06-2009 08:58 AM

Most of it is good, I like films that challenge my perception of reality, as well as ones that drop loads of little clues that all link together at the end. You say the ending is different to how I understood it. Could you clear that up for me? I saw it as this: Donny's girlfriend gets hit by a car, he thinks he'd rather die to save her than live with her death, and she was only in the path of the car because she had come with him, so he takes the time ship/aircraft engine and smashes it into his bedroom, killing both his past and future self. We see his girfriend before she was his girlfriend, and some kid asks if she knew Donny. She says no. She has been saved. Can you point out the errors in that?

Wings of Fire 11-06-2009 09:05 AM

Yeah, if he crashed into his bedroom then he'd only have killed the future him, as the past him was sleepwalking at the golf course.

Also, your explanation doesn't allow for Frank.

EDIT: It's far more philosophical and abstract than that, but I couldn't really say without watching it again.
