Isn't a hoodie... by Schnorbitz	Apr 10th, 2003 02:54:38 PM
a garment of casual outer-wear. With a hood.
Nonsense! by mrbeaks	Apr 10th, 2003 02:55:41 PM
When you win a Hoodie Award, then, and only then, can you question my judgment. Mr. Funktastic is love.
Meh. by WeedyMcSmokey	Apr 10th, 2003 03:09:24 PM
Both these films sound like renters. That Anger Management will have a $25 million - $30 million opening weekend - easy - mark my words. Congratulations on your Hoodie - whatever the fuck that is. Did your agent make you put it after your signature ;-)?
Someone, Anyone, Please Drop a Safe on Adam Sandler's Head by hipcheck13	Apr 10th, 2003 03:10:28 PM
This guy's about as funny as papercuts on your pecker peppered with lemon juice.
People have been saying his act will wear off quick for...what.. by SideshowBill	Apr 10th, 2003 03:11:38 PM
There is always a market for professionally done goofball comedies. While I agree that MR. DEEDS was blah, and BIG DADDY is downright unwatchable, the BILLY MADISON/HAPPY GILMORE/THE WATERBOY/LITTLE NICKEY quartet give me no small amount of giggles. And PUNCHDRUNK LOVE is wonderful. I expect this to be good. It's gotten nice notices so far, or so says RottenTomatoes, but there are sure to be many who hate it. Frankly, I don't put much stock in the majority of what the Hobbit crowd here has to say about Sandler. These are the same people who are convinced THE HULK will suck and THE MATRIX RELOADED will rule...before having seen either one.

Man, someone told me that Jamie King by Zeldas	Apr 10th, 2003 03:26:05 PM
is the new Merly Streep. Just telling you what I heard. By the way, a hoodie is like a zippered sweatshirt with a hood. Come on boys get with the program! That is all.
Is it me or was he on drugs when he wrote th Bulletproof Monk re by Russman	Apr 10th, 2003 03:46:19 PM
What the fuck was he talking about. I read it twice and it just doesn't make sense.
I'd love to see Sandler flattened by a MOAB. by California Split	Apr 10th, 2003 03:47:01 PM
He grates on me like Rosie Perez did.

Nice to see the Iraqis aren't the only people stealing. For anyone who finds Adam Sandler charming, stay the fuck out of my life.

was bulletproof monk a graphic novel by trkane	Apr 10th, 2003 04:05:38 PM
i saw it at the comic shop the other day but i suppose it could have been the graphic novelization of the movie. anyhow stiffler is always funny, but i think he's been taking andro and too much ripped fuel lately. his muscles are big but his face looks almost as skeletal as king's.
Russman by mrbeaks	Apr 10th, 2003 04:13:44 PM
That review is like a Godard film; it requires at least ten readings before it begins to make sense. So, looks like you're eight away. Soldier on, true believer.
new matrix trailer up by microwavable?	Apr 10th, 2003 04:26:03 PM
check whatisthematrix.com at 7 PM Eastern time and it should be there. that's what i heard.
who cares about hoodies... by Daenerys	Apr 10th, 2003 04:45:53 PM
...they're cheap clothes anyway and they make no statemate. but enough about that. I saw a prescreening of Anger Management and it's a lot of fun. Jack looks like he's having a blast and no baby talk from Sandler. Ending was too contrived for me though. Bullet Proof Monk was a graphic novel first...i think. either way i'm not gonna see it.

Neither of them sounded very positive to me. Oh, and also, I sell hoodies at work...at Pac Sun.
A Hoodie is... by DocBosch	Apr 10th, 2003 05:33:11 PM
Dumbasses. A Hoodie is an award out in LA created by Steve Harvey and a bunch of other black people to honor the top non-celeberity people who have made a difference in the 'hood. Get it? The 'hood. The "Hoodies". Yup.

Mr. Beaks....verbosity hampers jargon...remember that when you never become a REAL journalist...
Re: Dark Horizons and any other "entertainment" sites. by Jaka	Apr 10th, 2003 06:06:07 PM
Do people not realize that the popularity of this site has surpased being about "exclusives" and who got the story first. I come to AICN because it's a site I am comfortable with. Because the writing is sometimes professional, and sometimes not. The sometimes not is usually from people who are NOT WRITERS but are given a chance to write a "story" for this website none the less. I appreciate that. I come here because I like the types of stories they post and that they take responsibility and admit their mistakes when they are wrong. I come here because Harry "Freakin'" Knowles was on the set of LOTR for days on end! Who was there from Dark Horizons? Oh. I'm sorry, they weren't invited. I mean shit, my Mom comes to this site. Just because the same 500 people have the same stupid argument in every Talk Back does not mean that only 500 come to this site. Jesus H' Christ! If you have a problem with this site then DON'T COME HERE! AND DON'T POST IN THE TALK BACKS! THE FACT THAT DARK HORIZONS OR ANY OTHER SITE HAD THE PIC A WEEK AGO DOESN'T MATTER WHEN I AM READING IT ON THIS SITE!!!! CLEAR?!?!?
Ummm....Beaks.... by Ribbons	Apr 10th, 2003 06:09:22 PM
Why exactly did they leave Chow Yun-Fat's character nameless? And are you trying to imply that you'd rather have seen a Mr. Funktastic movie than one with a Bulletproof Monk subplot? Please clarify. I know I'm gonna get a lot of 'stupid' jokes for this post, but my own peace of mind is more important to me than what you guys think of me, so... forgive me for not caring.
Matrix Trailer incredible by Fubar Bindy	Apr 10th, 2003 06:19:49 PM
Thanks for the site, tekprodfx16. On topic, Sandler's earlier movies were a lot more funny than the later ones. (I don't consider Punchdrunk a Sandler movie). Sandler has considerably more staying power than some of you are giving him credit for. I might even see BPM as things are slow until May.
While I'm Waiting for the Matrix Trailer to Download... by mrbeaks	Apr 10th, 2003 06:32:38 PM
... I will seriously answer your question, Ribbons. Yes, I would much rather have watched a ninety minute Mr. Funktastic movie than BULLETPROOF MONK. I'm sorry if that was unclear, but I was very drunk when I wrote those reviews. I have a problem, but, as I've assured my friends and family, I can handle it myself. I don't need their bullshit "interventions". So what if this drinking "problem" cost me my job? People lose jobs everyday. It's not a big deal. BTW, there is no reason why Chow Yun-Fat's character is nameless in this movie, but that's going to be the least of your gripes walking out of this puppy if you bother to see it. I should run now, lest my verbosity further hamper this post and corrupt the integrity of this talkback. Time to crack open another Hamms and watch the Matrix trailer.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT by jackburtonlives	Apr 10th, 2003 09:35:09 PM
from jackburtonlives. DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH on Bulletproof Monk. it is a piece of garbage. you will come out angry and bitter that someone has somehow conned you out of $10. it is a total crock. i am a die-hard chow yun fat fan and it's hard to find a CYF that i don't like... but this is one. you've been warned.
mr. beaks doesn`t know jack! by scottclone	Apr 11th, 2003 12:25:13 AM
I just saw Anger Management tonight and thought is was really funny. I`m no huge Adam Sandler fan but I am a JN fan and he stole the movie. As for the Matrix???? YYYYYAAAAAWWWWNNNNN! I`m so sick of wire foo shit. The first Matrix was OKAY. Did it merit TWO sequels? The CGI looked cheap almost as bad as THE HULK. SHIT SHIT SHIT. But its only an opinion. Spend away suckers.
But did you know..................... by reignman79	Apr 11th, 2003 12:25:26 AM
Mr Beaks is one of Shawn Kemp's illegitimate children??
Not for hardcore martial artists by Moriarity Report	Apr 11th, 2003 01:29:28 AM
I think some people will rag on Bulletproof Monk just because it's not an Asian martial arts flick. But that's like holding it against the Matrix for not being Asian. It's just a fun action adventure movie that mixes in some martial arts and Asian philosophy. It's obviously camp when you have one of the world's leading super models (James King) playing a bad ass martial artist named "Bad Girl". Hahahaha, that's some great camp right there. But sometimes these films get into trouble because not just anybody it seems, can film these spectacular fight scenes. Look at The Musketeer. They had a top fight choreographer and the athleticism of the fights were fine, but the American director obviously didn't know how to film them for shit. Only the final fight looked decent. But then you have the Wackosci Brothers who found a really original way to film the fight scenes in Matrix, so there ya go.
Why do they keep posting reviews from this asshole? by Lance Turk	Apr 11th, 2003 02:00:43 AM
The only good thing I can say is that at least he didn't waste most of this space with an uncalled for denouncement of Chris Columbus.
Damnit, someone already got "Mr Funktastic" as a user ID... by earthworm	Apr 11th, 2003 04:02:52 AM
...and my username really sucks as well. Anyway, that was some good reviewin by Beaks there, the kind of reviewin that makes me come back to this site. So all you AICN haters can suck mine.
Sad to see the people behind Brimstone doing this... by Swithin	Apr 11th, 2003 05:24:12 AM
I mean, it looks OK, but it sounds like a rehash of that made-for-tv movie "invincible" or whatever it was called... garbage...
Jaka, you ignorant knob by SideshowBill	Apr 11th, 2003 10:05:51 AM
The fact is DARK HORIZONS is better than this hunk of crap site. There is the ocassional bit of original news, and these TB's are fun, but this hovel hasn't broken a decent story in months. They regurgitate. They post reviews from idiots. They tell you when the catereron HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP dies. That's it. So, Harry was on LOTR set? So what...that explains nothing except his constant ass-kissing of PJ and Sean Ass-tin. The fact that Knowles takes these paid trips is cause for other debates that have come and gone and will come again. Get a grip, asshole.
RE: Buddy Rydell... by Wungolioth	Apr 11th, 2003 10:43:48 AM
Isn't Buddy Rydell the name of the bully that was making fun of Cindy Brady's lisp on an episode of The Brady Bunch? Peter ended up punching him and giving him a lisp as well? Can anyone confirm this?
Nope, I was wrong... by Wungolioth	Apr 11th, 2003 11:17:08 AM
I hate that I posted that now, Buddy Hinton was the name of the bully. Still, I'm certain I've heard the name Buddy Rydell before...
Buddy Riddel by Alsiem	Apr 11th, 2003 01:20:56 PM
I believe that was the bully from 3 O'Clock High.
AM by WayOutWest	Apr 11th, 2003 08:19:16 PM
Just saw Anger Management - I laughed quite a bit. The premise of the movie is silly and the celebrity cameos get a bit old but there are tons of great lines. Definitely worth a matinee. And I do not like most of Sandler's previous movies. I checked out Ebert's review on Suntimes.com - he had a major mistake in his review relative to Sandler's character's employment situation. Roger needs to stop feeding his fat face and watch the movie.
So it's FUnKtastic now is it? by The Bobman	Apr 12th, 2003 01:07:13 AM
Wasn't that when filming Bulletproof Monk- watch their lips and see if it matches- or did they change the tatoo as well?
it ain't cool news by Hud	Apr 15th, 2003 10:10:58 AM
Mr. Beaks! The legend of Shock Cinema, here at Harry's humble home for homos? Fantastical! Splendid reviews, of course.
