'Out Of Gas'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I spent my weekend in bad movie hell.
First up: Showgirls, to see if it was as bad as everyone said. I tend to be the opposite of popular taste with Verhoeven - Robocop was OK, but best for the cultural prescience stuff, and I hated Basic Instinct and Total Recall.
After watching Showgirls I can no longer claim that Starship Troopers is deft satire.
We also watched Crank 2:High Voltage which was far better than Showgirls and completely at home in its own ridiculousity.

It's not?

I haven't seen any of the Crank movies, but I do adore Jason Statham.
If you adore Jason Statham and haven't seen Crank you are only hurting yourself. It's like the role was written for him. Was the role written for him?
I've only seen Transporter 1 and 2, and I own the first.
Was the role written for him?
I would not be surprised.
Have you seen Snatch?
Raq apparently you and I are twins in opinion. I was just lambasting Total Recall over the weekend (we caught an airing of that Ahnold movie with Richard Dawson and even THAT movie is better than TR.
BI is terrible.
Oh, yes. I have seen Snatch.
eta coincidentally, a song from the Transporter soundtrack just came up on shuffle.
I love Showgirls! My ex-work gay boyfriend can do the dog food speech brilliantly!
Don't be the first one down the stairs.
Also sex with Elizabeth Berkley is like having a gran mal seizure.
