Kenny Powers by liljuniorbrown	Mar 18th, 2009 05:59:54 PM
East Bound and Down is classic Danny McBride greatness. I was not blown away by Foot Fist way,but this show is great.
I am kind of excited but by slimballs	Mar 18th, 2009 06:04:12 PM
then I remembered that the last film these guys did together wasn't very good.
That would be dope if Franco played the same character... by Pissed Off And Bitter	Mar 18th, 2009 06:08:33 PM
He played in Pineapple Express. It would be awesome if they both essentially played their characters from that film.
Is it possible by Inconvenient	Mar 18th, 2009 06:11:18 PM
that this was only dreamt in your fat, drunken, diabetic, coma like stuper or can I really get excited?
Hey BALLSAC by Sauce Diesel	Mar 18th, 2009 06:14:20 PM
It was called the Glaive...
This sounds like two drunken idiots dreaming by MY_BLUE_PENIS	Mar 18th, 2009 06:14:56 PM
And not an actual project. I can't even see how anyone would greenlight whatever the fuck that was....Even Warner Bros isn't that risky.

Harry, how's your health doing buddy? by YackBacker	Mar 18th, 2009 06:21:51 PM
Drinking all that booze hopefully means you're doing well with the weight loss and everything. All my best, big guy!
skeptical by whiskey_dick	Mar 18th, 2009 06:28:09 PM
" We haven't seen fantasy comedy period style since MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL, TIME BANDITS and to have one inspired by the already hilarious genre of 80's fantasy... the comedy gold is extremely rich" I know Green had nothing to do with the "Epic Movie" franchise, but even the most respectable filmmakers can churn out crap from time to time. I'm not going to get excited until we have some confirmation that this won't turn out to be "80's Fantasy Movie".
Green is amazing at drama and comedy but.. by DirkD13"	Mar 18th, 2009 06:28:28 PM
his action in Pineapple express was fairly weak (admit it guys, as awesome as that film was it didnt quite kick-ass action wise). If Green wants to do this right then I hope he is let off the leash as the second action film from previously nonaction guys is generally FUCKING AWESOME IX2, Dark Knight etc..). Been enjoying Eastbound and Down, but can't help feeling the script is not as good as the cast (by a long way).
Can't nobody Glaive me like Jesus. by Spaceman Spliff	Mar 18th, 2009 06:30:23 PM
Then he puts on his shades all cool-like.
Your Highness by Beldo84	Mar 18th, 2009 06:42:51 PM
Is the name I heard bandied about
Green's action by Beldo84	Mar 18th, 2009 06:44:41 PM
Keep in mind PE was done on a comedy budget, not an action budget. I thought the action scenes were pretty good considering they had they were working with the budget of SUPERBAD.

No....it won't be like Krull. It will be packed with shit CG. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 18th, 2009 06:46:22 PM
Awesome Fantasy films are a product of the 80s. Fuck this guy and fuck anything he ever attempts. This film will be shit.
Sounds awesome, but Harry by Die_Hardest	Mar 18th, 2009 06:50:14 PM
I thought you couldn't drink with the lapband? Is everything alright with it?
Wait, so is it a comedy or a fantasy flick? by D.Vader	Mar 18th, 2009 06:53:29 PM
I can't tell what the hell you're describing, Harry. Krull and Sword and the Sorcerer are in no way similar to Time Bandits or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So much for drunk reporting. "Unbelievably cool news?!?" No. It would be if you actually had some information instead of a hazy alcohol-drenched memory.
And I seriously hope this doesn't get made by D.Vader	Mar 18th, 2009 06:54:36 PM
If its not a comedy, that is. I've got ideas for a fantasy action flick myself that I'd hate to see DGG do first. So if its a comedy, I'm all for it.
Hawk the Slayer was rubbish! by Movies4dummies	Mar 18th, 2009 07:04:10 PM

"No....it won't be like Krull. It will be packed with shit CG." by BadMrWonka	Mar 18th, 2009 07:05:04 PM
like Krull was packed with after dinner mints? how is shit CG much worse than shit practical effects?
David Gordon Green owns by Charlie Murphy	Mar 18th, 2009 07:10:16 PM
he seems to be moving towards odd comedies these days, with Pineapple Express, Eastbound and now this, and that's fine with me, he's knocking them out of the park. That said, his dramatic films are all fucking amazing movies and i can't wait for his next one.
Mrs Liam Neeson is gone by deanbarry	Mar 18th, 2009 07:12:28 PM

I like - Yet Harry don't mention Broken Lizard in a post as awes by hallmitchell	Mar 18th, 2009 07:13:38 PM
It gets me worried. Even though they have nothing to do with the awesome sounding movie. Look at South Parks' homage to Heavy Metal. I would love to see something like that.
So, this basically counts as hearsay.... by PTSDPete	Mar 18th, 2009 07:14:55 PM

the thing by mattforce7	Mar 18th, 2009 07:17:02 PM
looked like a big piece of thing shit
Should be a good companion to by hallmitchell	Mar 18th, 2009 07:35:45 PM
David Fincher's animated Heavy Metal film.
EASTBOUND AND DOWN by wash	Mar 18th, 2009 07:37:13 PM
This page deserves at least one mention of how completely fucking awesome this show is. And if I was standing next to DB, I would have told him just that.

The reverse apachee master by liljuniorbrown	Mar 18th, 2009 07:48:21 PM
The opening scenes to this weeks East Bound and Down were priceless. When he's recording his "book on tape",the nick names that he will no longer be called , fucking hysterical to me for some reason. "That man is gone,no more People's champion or the reverse apachee master,the man with the golden dick,dr.cock and balls,just Kenny Powers". That shit just cracked me up. Also his fight scene in Hot Rod is the only thing about that movie that made me laugh.
Natasha Richardson has died. by drompter	Mar 18th, 2009 07:51:28 PM
May she rests in peace. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SH OWBIZ/ Movies/03/18/obit.richardson/ index.html
Yeah, it was reported in the Village Voice last year by HypeEndsHere	Mar 18th, 2009 08:11:08 PM
Danny said they smoke up and go fight dragons. the dragons are going to be stop motion. not that much of a scoop, dude.
Stop motion - awesome. by hallmitchell	Mar 18th, 2009 08:58:39 PM

Spectral Motion-now that's something to get excited about by SoylentMean	Mar 18th, 2009 09:22:55 PM
I still can't believe Hellboy II lost for best makeup at the "Oh look, we gave Sean Penn another Academy Award so he could get up on his soapbox" Oscars.
I feel bad for Liam Neeson and his family by SoylentMean	Mar 18th, 2009 09:27:19 PM
I can't really think of anything I've seen Natasha Richardson in except Tales from the Crypt. Still, sudden death is just as stupid as regular death. Fuck you Death!
So I guess Year One by Series7	Mar 18th, 2009 10:15:22 PM
Is that bad that we can't even talk about it.
Balzacsscrotum, hence why I only remember her from... by SoylentMean	Mar 18th, 2009 10:53:34 PM
TFTC. Just think, if Sean Penn had portrayed Nell instead of Jodie Foster he would have three Oscars now.
What about....BEASTMASTER?!? by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:33:49 AM
Gahhhhh-you nitwits always dissapoint-why are you people so fucking dumb?!? Huh? To not mention Beastmaster makes my thews pop and hunger for immortal battle!!!
Legend equals mostly total fail, however by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:38:37 AM
even though it had uber hot mia sara plus pretty good emo soundtrack by uh..Bryan ferry PLUS probably the best Satan on Film before john Carpenters Prince Of Darkness-it was still completely weak...
Now Lets talk Disney's "DragonSlayer" by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:41:15 AM
Uhhh-this movie holds a special place in my heart because I believe it signelled the end of Disney's Macarbe streak of wicked brain warping "kid's movies" Not only did it feature really good practical effects-there's this one scene that will always haunt my dreams and warped my brain as pre-pubescent-child-good stuff :-)
Gahh-LadyHawke by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:45:08 AM
Noooo!!!! But probably ages more gracefully than I give it credit for. Wargames ferris Buehler teams up with Rutger Hauer Post Blade Runner-and though a few good scenes-was also utter POO-good scenerey and cinematography-but was the first of barbarians should be rated pg because Sword and trhe Sorceror was so cool, but our focus group says we need more butts in the seat, and I have this idea my MBA professor proposes...
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:47:21 AM
The first epic to be filmed entirely in this new-fangled 3-D process was the ultimate Sword and Sorcery epic that-Oh wait-wrong genre :-) nevermind!!!
Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair-Bitches!!! by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 12:57:45 AM
Yeah, you assholes all play it off of your stupid computers-back in the day-I had a psycho D and D buddy who's father owned a freakin arcade. His dad would open up the coin slot and Sean would just sit there and play that motherfucker over and over agin-all streaming from this thingamabob called a LASERDISC (Yeah an arcade like in the original Tron-except i was a crappy pool hall) U CANNOT COMPUTE THE PWNAGE OF ACTUALLY MASTERING DRAGON"S LAIR IN ITS ORIGINAL STAND UP ARCADE FORM That is all...
Rone Jaffe's Mazes And Monsters by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 19th, 2009 01:15:23 AM
The ultimate goddamned grandaddy of Ultimate Dungeons and Dragons movies!!! Starring a certain dewy-eyed newb of a thespian by the name of Tom Hanks, this thrilling feel good story pandered to the prevailing trends of 1980's Christian Fear-mongering. A polemic written by some nasty, crusty old-school Ann Coulter type jagoff slut back in the day, the script reads like a Jack T. Chick pamphlet, but soared far into the public consciousness as a media event. What makes it sooo good is obviously T. Hanks early performance where he plays a pathetic nerd with a mental illness who's fixated upon a certain Live Action Role Playing Game was only his first step to eventual Oscar greatness for his ultimate crowning achievement: Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons. Who could have known that playing a mentally ill (psycho)character would would be the first step to the ultimate Oscar lock? Perhaps we as fans will never realize the brilliant machinations that worked in Tom Hanks mind. Perhaps, he knew the only sure way to achieve Oscar greatness was something most Hollywood actors and agents never realized: The only sure way to achieve Oscar greatness would be a Threefold plan never attempted before in the history of Hollywood: 1)Play a Psycho. (RJ'sM&M) 2)Play a Man of homosexual Persuasion. (Philadelphia) 3)Play a Retard. (Forrest Gump) And the rest, as they say, is History. Bow before the Hanks-He out-Baled Bale before Bale even knew he was Bale!!! (Kidding aside-T.Hanks ruled in SPRyan and Green Mile, etc etc-but hey-even gods must feel the smite) -MLB

I don't get excited about anything till I at least see a screen capture.
Danny McBride wishes he was me. by Kenny_Fuckin_Powers	Mar 19th, 2009 01:40:35 AM
I mean shit, his imitation is passable. But he doesn't have my physique or viperlike arms and lats. And trying to make it sound like I have a problem cumming in my pants when I touch a woman is just a low cheap comedy shot when in actual fact Danny McBride has none of my sexual charisma.
One other thing I'd like to say about Watchmen by Kenny_Fuckin_Powers	Mar 19th, 2009 01:43:11 AM
I just have to let y'all know that Kenny Fuckin Powers had to endure another screening of The Watchmen because his new date had already seen Taken and I felt like a pedo taking her to that Rock movie. And yet again, taking a date to Watchmen only resulted in a very dry handjob that we couldn't even finish cause I kept seeing Roarschock pour cooking oil on that dude's ass. That shit is righteously unholy, what the fuck happened to awesome movies like Superman IV with Robot Eddie Murphy and shit.
Great mention of M&M, Mr.LordBronco by Dingbatty	Mar 19th, 2009 03:35:56 AM
I recall watching it with derision when it aired on TV in '82, as I'd just started playing ad&d in the fifth grade -- in the South, mind you -- and had to bear the bitching of friends' religious nut parents about the "devil-worshipping" game I was enticing their kids to play. Read the book years later in a library, after accidentally stumbling across it. Thanks for fanning that fire, Jaffe.

Eastbound and Down is the funniest show on TV by Cysquatch	Mar 19th, 2009 08:08:35 AM
Any word if HBO has renewed for a 2nd season?
Ladyhawke by Fawst	Mar 19th, 2009 08:33:01 AM
I haven't seen it since I was a little kid. Rented it about 12 years ago and couldn't get past the opening scene. Saw that it's on OnDemand in my area on one of my movie stations and couldn't get past the opening credits. It's SO PAINFULLY DATED. I mean, it was an 80's one hit wonder away from being a bad music video. WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD SCORE?! Anyways. This could rule. But as much as I'm enjoying this "pot hitting the mainstream in a major way" surge we've had, I won't lie: I would rather someone made a heavy, taken-seriously adult fantasy epic. Hopefully Tales of a Sequel To Sword & The Sorcerer will be it.
Mazes and Monsters = hysterically funny by gavdiggity	Mar 19th, 2009 01:01:00 PM
It's so over the top and goofy. Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack to Legend, not Bryan Ferry.
Mazes & Monsters by TedKordLives	Mar 19th, 2009 05:27:39 PM
I just got a vhs copy of it for $2. Not worth it. Not even being high could make it interesting. The very last scene, where his friends go see him and he's referring to them by their character names and talking about going on an adventure-was fucking hilarious. I wish Tom Hanks would be funny again. 'BURBS II, DAMMIT!

Lee Horsely by Mr.LordBronco	Mar 21st, 2009 05:58:05 AM
..was the dude in Sword and the Sorceror. Kind of a poor man's Tom Selleck. TKL-That's the point of the 1980's-it was interesting because it was all you had to look at. Is it an awfully, terribly embarrasing made-for-TV movie? Yes. It's awfullness is exactly why the 80s are history best put behind us all. However, if one were to take about 4 hits of acid and watch it back to back with Nightmare on Elm Street Part the Fourth, one could possibly approximate my rise to adulthood. Hail Satan! -mlb
