Holy Moly Roller Checks Out David Arquette's THE TRIPPER!! Paul Reubens!! Thomas Jane!! Evil Ronald Reagan!!

The Gipper! by Chauncey Showzen	Oct 16th, 2006 09:12:47 AM
Could this be the film America has been patiently waiting for? Is this a neo-retro-conservative backlash film or a pro Reagan anti hippie/liberal retro cautionary tale aimed at the next cycle of presidential elections?........who cares, Ronald Reagan kills hippies. Nuff Said!
A Better Title: "Ronald Reagan - Shakin' Hands." by Read and Shut Up	Oct 16th, 2006 09:19:28 AM
Any time is a GOOD time to laugh at Republicans.
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Oct 16th, 2006 09:27:14 AM
Damn you Michael Bay
Dead Time for Bonzo... by Engelhast	Oct 16th, 2006 09:28:54 AM
This movie sounds like it is one sidekick psychotic Uzi wielding chimpanzee away from being really cool.
Sound's good enough... by loodabagel	Oct 16th, 2006 09:40:34 AM
Reagan killing people is always funny. But does he die from AIDs in the end?
Damn you Michael Bay < " by BitterMan23	Oct 16th, 2006 09:43:43 AM
Anyway i agree wholeheartedly... for every great scene there was a good 5 or 10 min chunk of nothing interesting at all.

Yay for actors who know they suck so they try directing by jackinitraw	Oct 16th, 2006 09:52:57 AM
Nay for this assbag though. Courtney Cox was supposed to have MY babies you ADD motherfucker. btw - you Americans take your own politics way too seriously. Here's my golden rule of politics: You will be fucked. Picking who fucks you and screaming about how you object to how they fuck you is masochistic. Just close your eyes and go to your happy place.
rip ass! by smorgasborgnine	Oct 16th, 2006 09:53:01 AM
This sounds frickin' awesome! I don't know if Holy Moly Roller remembers, but there used to be a wonderful period in cinema where the horror movies were silly, far-fetched gems. I'm talking your "Pieces" and "Basket Case"es and "Gates of Hell." In the wake of the terrible slate of horror movies which have made it to big screen in the last ten years (read: I still know what you were screaming about when you made a wrong turn) this is just what the doctor ordered. Sounds to be as fun as the woefully overlooked Santa Slay. I mean, a horror movie mauling hippies to the tune of Fishbone? Party at fuckin' ground zero! 'Bout time someone put those whiny dirty-butts in their place.
but... by smorgasborgnine	Oct 16th, 2006 09:59:47 AM
they do need to change that title. Far too vague reference to his nickname which this generation won't get. And unless the main baddie is doing copious amounts of hallucinogenics whilst smashing trustafarians, it's just too silly. Engelhast there has a good one. And yes, jackintraw, for the most part, Arquette sucks, but check out his contribution to Ravenous... another brilliant and forgotten movie with an amazing cast.
Opie Howard was not much of an actor either by Engelhast	Oct 16th, 2006 10:17:54 AM
But the little redheaded twerp sure has directed a few kick ass movies in his time. Arquette probably won't be the next Ron Howard or even Quentin Tarantino (horrible actor) but to blindly judge his directing skills based off of his acting ability is just stupid and closed-minded. judge his directing skills based off os his acting ability is just stupid.
I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY HART BOCHNER BASHING! by BitterMan23	Oct 16th, 2006 10:30:04 AM
He was killed by David Copperfields assistant and Hans Gruber so he directed PCU. He is a great example for any actor turned director.
Ronald Reagan was a Saint!!! by Orionsangels	Oct 16th, 2006 10:39:58 AM
If only Ronald Reagan could return as president. We could end this Iraq war! Yes, Ronald Reagan was the best president we ever had! My family was rich then and life was great!
Don't know where you buy your crack Orionsangels by Engelhast	Oct 16th, 2006 10:45:34 AM
But many of the problems we are now dealing with in the middle east are a direct result of Regan and his cronies actions and weapons trading.
I was there. by jesuschrist	Oct 16th, 2006 12:06:58 PM
The movie was sub-par. Not scary for a suspense movie. Not gory enough for a gore movie. I hate to say that, because David Arquette looked so happy, and seems like a genuinely nice guy. It was great to see Paul Reubens back on screen. "Fuck you!" (you'll get it if you see the movie). Thomas Jane was hands down the best thing in the movie. I think he could almost be on par with Alec Baldwin as an underrated comic talent. (remember him on Arrested Development?) The other regret was the early demise of a suprisingly brown haired Jason Mewes. He is always fucking hilarious, and this movie was no exception, so I was bummed to see him killed off so early. Jamie King is always hot, but her character was so flat in this movie. "Oh no, I had a bad acid trip once!" So? Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but I don't think horror films and good storytelling have to be mutually exclusive. For all the on screen talent favors that were obviously called in for this movie, it would be nice to see actors doing a vanity project call in their screenwriter friends to help as well. And again, I'm no movie snob. Mad Max is my all time favorite movie, if that tells you how "burger and fries" my movie tastes are. Hands down though, the best thing about the whole night, was seeing Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat) in the flesh. Very cool.

I heart Ronald Reagan by BannedOnTheRun	Oct 16th, 2006 12:20:19 PM
Heck, my Reagan Ranch calendar is right over my monitor. And I'd still dig this if it were done well...kids have to have their boogeyman, and for hipster '80s kidz it was Reagan. And speaking of mixed bags, an aquaintance directed Mr. Arquette once and they became best Doobie Brothers. Mr. Cox loves his pot, so he knows the subject matter.
Despite his best efforts to the contrary... by Childe Roland	Oct 16th, 2006 01:02:49 PM
...this reviewer makes this movie seem like a whole lot of fun.
Fishbone by Maniac Cop	Oct 16th, 2006 01:05:12 PM
Actually, it's not so unbelievable. They've recently headlined the jazz fest in Victoria, and play plenty of other festival shows. Still the most exciting live act in the world. New album is coming out very soon.
Ronald Reagan??? Me thinks David has a thing for RR by Fandude	Oct 16th, 2006 01:12:18 PM
David is correct. Grand Supreme Ronaldus Magnus did slaughtered a whole bunch of liberal dreams...single handedly. Oh yea, he also wrestled the former USSR down to its knees...that's all. Not bad for an actor. Ronald Reagan...greatest president next to George Friggin W. Bush. Fandude
Way too much credit for the fall of the wall and USSR by Engelhast	Oct 16th, 2006 01:18:49 PM
Both countries were tumbling towards collapse long before Regan. He just had lucky timing.
I probably would've had a lot more respect for Reagan by CreasyBear	Oct 16th, 2006 01:32:54 PM
had I not grown up on a steady diet of Bloom County comic strips.
this movie sounds absolutely incredible by beamish13	Oct 16th, 2006 01:36:20 PM
at least in concept. Reagan was a terrifyingly inept president: spending approximately one entire year out of his eight as President on vacation, obviously having Alzheimer's while in office, allowing the CIA to start an illegal war in Nicaragua and fund their shady operations with drug dealings, and keeping an astrologer on the White House payroll.
With the excpetion of one... by vivavitalogy	Oct 16th, 2006 01:36:47 PM
or MAYBE two, all presidents take credit for something they can really only ckalk up to good timing.

What was that quote from Governor Ronnie on hippies? by Nice Marmot	Oct 16th, 2006 03:32:06 PM
He had hair like Jane, something-or-other like Tarzan, smelled like Cheetah. Something like that. Whoever already posted it is right, the reviewer says it's just alright but the description sounds kick ass.
If you wanna make conservatives look bad....... by IndustryKiller!	Oct 16th, 2006 03:55:46 PM
I'm not sure killing hippies is the way to do it. Cause I gotta say I'm no conservative and that sounds appealing to even me. Sounds like kind of a cool movie.
And the video for Genisis' Land of Confusion should.... by IndustryKiller!	Oct 16th, 2006 03:58:16 PM
play over the end credits. That is all.
fishbone! by reckni	Oct 16th, 2006 04:44:09 PM
I remember when they were kinda cool . . . and they're still around? Saw them once, highly entertaining, wicked stoner flashback.
My equation... AND BTW, FUCK THESE SHORTENED SUBJECT LI by Daddylonghead	Oct 16th, 2006 06:24:20 PM
Paul Reubens + Jason Mewes + drug humor + nudity + Ronald Reagan + chainsaw gore = VERY AWESOME MOVIE. Simple as that. Sounds fuckin' sweet!
Daddylonghead, you forgot... by rbatty024	Oct 16th, 2006 07:26:16 PM
to include directed by David Arquette into your equation. That changes the sum quite a bit.
I'd like to see one . . . by vikingkitty	Oct 16th, 2006 07:34:39 PM
. . . where a coked up Bill Clinton bombs the shit out of a group of christians attempting to protect themselves from the Muslim hordes, which later leads to a region full of unrest. The area could also later become a haven for Muslim terrorists.
No no, you got it all wrong VikingKitty by IndustryKiller!	Oct 16th, 2006 07:42:42 PM
George W. Bush is the ex cokehead, remember? And the guy bombing an area that is now a beehive of terrorism. I know I know you probably just typed the wrong name daydreaming about Bill Clinton and all, cause I mean no one could fuck up that distiction. I mean you would have to be a complete moron right? So it's George W Bush who did all that, I knew you wouldn't want that mistake left wide open you silly goose. Haha, oh good times.
This movie will be the shit, but... by DirtySouthMouth	Oct 16th, 2006 11:13:49 PM
...it ain't gonna be as sweet as this flick: http://tinyurl.com/wraah
wtf, now they're going after Reagan? by SHIVA	Oct 17th, 2006 01:15:34 AM
I've said it before and I'll say it again, a lot of America is filled with clueless fucktards who let Hollywood get away with shit like this. Yeah, the guy who won the Cold War and took down the Berlin Wall and kicked unholy terrorist ass is evil. Jesus, you can't go anywhere these days without listening to this bullshit. Look if you don't like America, get the fuck outta here instead of forming a 5th column and trying to sabotage the best country in the world from within. There's a reason that the terrorists hate us. It's because we represent the best that man can be and anyone who's promoting shit like this is actively aiding said terrorists. God damn, I'm pissed off about this shit....
I'm with you Shiva by BannedOnTheRun	Oct 17th, 2006 02:39:34 AM
Actually, that plot synopsis sounds like just about any network news broadcast from the '80s. A chainsaw? Now THAT's good metaphor.
Was there ver such a thing as a non-evil Reagan by StovetopStuffin'	Oct 17th, 2006 09:07:12 AM
I mean, seriously. It's like that episode of Futurama, where Evil Bender is the normal Bender, and his twin was the good one. Reagan=Bush W=Michael Bay (ok, I had to throw in a Michael Bay rip. Everyone else is doing it!)
Man, SHIVA, you make my sides hurt... by Childe Roland	Oct 17th, 2006 10:21:42 AM
...with that stop-trying-to-rattle-the-cage -I've-built-for-my-intellect-a nd-social-conscience-out-of-th e-naivete-of-my-youth shtick. You and anchorite should team up to try and overthrow reality some time. That'd be a hoot.
I LONG FOR RONALD REAGEN by WISEBLOOD	Oct 17th, 2006 02:05:40 PM
Remember back in the day when being a republican didn't automatically mean you blindly adhered to religious extremism, and you valued small government? If this movie were true, the first motherfucker Ronnie would kill is GW, because under the neocons (who are about as republican as kermit the frogs left nut)the republican party has been given to the churches and religious zealots, government has expanded to an unprecedented scale and the act of war has gone from the carefully planned Weinberger doctrine to the haphazard oil motivated hands of a fool like Rumsfeld. OH PLEASE RONNIE, COME BACK AND GIVE ME BACK MY REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!!!!!!
AND.... by WISEBLOOD	Oct 17th, 2006 02:06:17 PM
FISHBONE WILL ALWAYS RULE. End of line.
I have a friend by KrazeeEyesKilla	Oct 17th, 2006 03:21:49 PM
who put a big Ronnie face on his bong, so every time he takes a hit, he says "I'm pulling one out from the Gipper". I think I'll see this with him, and blast "Everyday Sunshine."

SHUT THE FUCK UP! Will you just fuck Michael Bay and get it over with. Okay he sucks who cares? We get it. You don't like what he's doing to your precious Transformers movie and your all bent out of shape. You know I bet there's a lot of 12 yr olds out there who think the Transformers movie looks fuckin' awesome. Because that's who the movie is for!! It's not for fat douche bag fan boys.
Did a monkey write this? by Stench	Oct 18th, 2006 04:36:42 AM
