So did Credence borrow their guitar riffs from Sam & DAve?

OK, I still laughed way too hard at the basketball scene.

Did I see Ian 'Sharknado' Zeiring in the basketball game? Probably not? Just wanting to, I guess?

Even at what has to be about 60 now and 25 in this movie, JLD has always managed to look about 35.

C. Thomas Howell looks so much like a kid I went to high school. He was white though, and better at basketball.

See my earlier post. It was the hair.

The dick-measuring part of this movie is odd.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:20 pm

More like Melora Hard-on, amirite?

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:21 pm

Is there a penis size joke coming?

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:22 pm

So predictable.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:22 pm

She really should have trademarked that title.

Also, good work brian!

This was the exact scene that I was expecting as soon as I learned the premise.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:22 pm

We're not quite halfway through, but I'm starting to feel that this movie is so unfunny, no one cares enough to cancel it.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:23 pm

Looks like Trump visited while LEslie Nielsen was away.

That was...something.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:24 pm

Just holy shit.

bapo! · Post by **bapo!** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:24 pm

Okay, I'm deeply uncomfortable now.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:24 pm

I can't not like Leslie Nielsen, sorry.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:27 pm

He's been black for a couple weeks and he's already fucking things up chasing white women.

(this was just a joke unless it's ever quoted out of context)

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:27 pm

The Boston PD racially profiling motorists is only the second realistic thing in this movie so far.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:28 pm

Cop doesn't have an Irish/Italian name, bullshit.

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:29 pm

Not sure how many more n-bombs there are in this movie.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:30 pm

The pause point is coming up shortly...........

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:30 pm

Do I have time to take a shower? Not sure I can watch the rest of this without one.

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:30 pm

Right after this James Earl Jones dressing down.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:31 pm

James Earl Jones acting like he signed up thinking it was a different movie and found out what it was just before shooting.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:32 pm

Please pause after "have a nice Thanksgiving."

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:32 pm

We're paused on the Swanson dinner. Fuck you, Tucker Carlson. We'll come back at 9:45?

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:32 pm

Fifty minutes actually went pretty fast for something this terrible.

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:33 pm

I gotta cut some limes and get the guacamole out of the fridge.

Yes, 45 after the hour.

Hit the showers, Giff.

He seemed to enjoy that last scene.

So, what have we all learned so far?

The one thing I remember about how the denoument of this movie plays out is one of the worst things about it. (And obvs that's saying something).

I may just keep quoting this until the finish line.

Well, it's not like I was entirely optimistic before now, but yikes.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:41 pm

TIL what denoument means.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:41 pm

Starting to think we may need to push "Savages" back a week and get a crowd-pleaser as a palate cleanser next week.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 9:41 pm

It might get worse, but I could conceivably see this as something a wannabe "woke" white person would think would work today. The only difference is that someone along the way would try to stop them.
