Commando has a message: The armie makes you gay...... And australian. It also makes you think a chainmail vest can cover your Moobs.

Was Arnie, king of all men not in the army!?

While Bennet was indeed a comically overweight villain with a Freddie Mercury tash and a fetish for chainmail, he wasn't overtly gay, and Arnold was all kinds of awesome!

The message was basically that Commando's can kill 500 men on their own, throw security guards around like pigeons, and survive grenades exploding next to their feet by doing a bit of a jump and rolling a little bit.

Hate to burst your bubble there mattyrm, but Arnie HAD to join the army. Austria still has a conscription plan in place....
But that does not make him anyless badass!

I like commando but don't see a reason why I shouldn't. It's awesomeness.

Arnie speaks entirely in one-liners and it dispenses with a 'love interest' using the female character as sidekick/comic relief, and instead gets on with the action. He rips chains apart with his bare hands, tears telephone booths out the ground and walks around immune to bullets firing an M60 single handed from the hip. This is what 80s action movies were for, who wants realism?

"I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now, I'm real hungry!"

"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired"

"You know I said I'd kill you last? I lied"

And after dumping baddie off cliff - "I let him go"

etc

I just saw "The Presidents Man" with Chuck Norris last night. It was so bad that it was good. It was supposed to be action but i was laughing my butt off the entire movie. Totally recommend it, as long as you dont take it seriously.

300 horrible movie, not really true about only 300 spartans vs the Persians and the fact I am a history nut so i keep pointing out the mistakes in the movies I watch that are based on historical movies. Though it was fun to watch.

Man of the Year- Loved it.

Troll 2, Sharktopus, and Piranha 3d.

I have a mate just like you. Did you really think it was meant to be an accurate representation? It was based on a comic, based on some guys idea about that battle. I saw 300 for the first time like 2 weeks ago. I liked it, apart from my mate trying to ruin it.



Which ever power rangers movie which has that floating head. And the bad guys were using this purple poisin to do something. Memory is real hazy, but it was fun.

:O
Purple goo, and it was used to brain wash peeps into evil guys.
Yep, awesome movie.

Just about any John Carpenter movie. They're so bad they're good!

Also, honorable mention goes to classic B movie, "The Stuff".

that is a good movie

I was going to say Eragon, but then I remembered that the huge chunks of missing plotline, the myriad errors, and the fact that they fethed up the storyline so much that sequel films for 'Eldest', 'Brisingr' and the upcoming 'Inheritance' books are now impossible, made me hate whatever was to be liked about it.

I stand corrected then.

You know it wasn't meant to be a teaching tool on the realities of ancient Mediterranean politics and conflict right? Complaining about a story told as myth/tall tale is a fairly ridiculous reason not to like it.

Yup, sure was...
Carpenter has put out quite a few decent films..( In the Mouth of Madness, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York ) as well as a few...meh films as well ( Vampires, They Live)...though They Live is good for some laughs.

According to one of my pervious teachers, she believed 300 was an accurate representation of the battle at thermoplaye which it isn't.
Spartans don't get angry, they don't listen to hard rock, they listen to calm soothing music. Because they wanted to be perfect. No Anger to disturpt them. They didn't fight as indiviuals but as a group.

Also The movies i shouldn't like are all on Science theater 3000. I love that show.

Dont like the movie that much, dont hate it but find it hilarious when Leonida wont take in the handicapped guy because the spartans fight as a group...next scene, after 3 seconds of group fighting they break up and everyone goes lone wolf. i started laughing when i first saw this.

That is why you don't ask Art Teachers what they think about history.

Holy hell, someone else on earth has heard of that movie!?


I like Uwe Boll's video game adaptations. All of them. They're so agonizingly awful. I've seen all of them in theaters, except Postal because Postal was so offensive it didn't get a very wide release.

In fact, I like Postal. Absolutely no irony in this case. If you're familiar with the game the film is based on, it is as perfect an adaptation as you can get.

...Seriously? I watched 20 minutes of BloodRayne and had to turn it off. It was one of the biggest pieces of poop I've ever seen. From what I understand, all of his movies are like that.

Isn't there an online petition to get Uwe Boll to stop making movies?

I watched House of the Dead and god as my witness I honestly wanted to put my boot through my TV screen 20 minutes into the film...Had it not been for Clint Howard...I very well may have.

The Last Airbender.

Yes I actually enjoyed this pretty terrible movie despite it being truly unfaithful to the cartoons among other things.

Don't judge me!!!

i love how bad the movies are XD. The horror/science films are terrible, especially the one with the women that are apparently super agents that are trying to save humanity from drugs?

Saw it because I liked the show...

BAD IDEA...

"Oh my god! He's bending fire from NOTHING?!?! RUN!!!"

At least you didn't pay to see it, Fitzz, unless you for some ungodly reason bought the DVD. Me and my friends went to the theater to see it cuz we like the video game... This was, in hindsight, a terrible, terrible decision.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, I totally forgot.

I love Saw.


All of them. Every last Saw movie. I do think the fourth or fifth (not sure which) is the weakest of the series, but I love them. I am, in fact, mourning the fact that the seventh is the end.

Wouldn't admit to most people but i prolly watch these twice a year.

I liked...........

HELLO KITTY ISLAND ADVENTURE!!!!!!

but I actually liked waterworld... eyepatch dude rules
