Announcing The First In A Series Movie thread - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]
— Open Blogger

I chatted with the boss and we've been given the go-ahead to try something new.

Next week at 8 pm (EST) Saturday, I'll post a movie thread. Ideally, you folks will rent/on-demand/pop in the blu-ray of said movie and we'll all watch it together, commenting as we go. It might be a bit much for an every week kind of post, but we'll see how it goes and, perhaps, make it a once a month/every three weeks kind of thing if folks get on-board with it.

Blogger privilege means that I get to pick the first movie, but after that we'll conduct some sort of poll to determine the next. And, let's keep it light and fruity, with nothing too heavy. I'm thinking along the lines of Animal House, Caddyshack, Battlefield Earth, Pacific Rim, Fast Times at Ridgemont High type of stuff. No Godfather. No Schindler's List. Perhaps an Alien now and then. As one of the commenters said of this concept, it's like MST3K at the HQ.

So, let's kick this thing off.

Next week's selection is likely to come as no surprise to some of you. I choose Battleship, starring Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Brooklyn Decker, and this remarkable fellow. It is one of those movies that is simply awful but is eminently watchable. It is, quite simply, a fun movie to both love and hate and I'm keeping my fingers crossed here that at least a few of our Navy Morons and 'Ettes will take part because I can only imagine what they'll have to say about it.

If you have HBO, the movie is presently available via On-Demand for free. If not, it is available via On-Demand and Roku for just $2.99.

So, sync your watches and get ready for some fun.

I'll see you back here next Saturday.

2 The 1st film should be Office Space or perhaps groundhog day.

3 I liked Battleship in the theater, except the part about the alien spaceships hopping around like frogs.

4 Maybe I should have read the entire post before commenting.

5 The 1st film should be Office Space or perhaps groundhog day. **** Nope. There aren't a lot of privileges that come with being a guest blogger. Picking the movie just once is one. Of course, Office Space and Groundhog Day will be part of the mix at some point. They'll be added to the poll.

And is my ISP still blocked? We'll see in a moment...

SUCCESS!

Suggestions: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Baby's Day Out, Bladerunner, The End Of The World, Shaun Of The Dead, any of the _really_ crappy "Roger Moore As a Cartoon Version Of James Bond" movies.

Posted by: Stateless Infidel at April 19, 2014 04:11 PM (AC0lD)

14 That movie should have been complete crap and they managed to make it fun. Favorite part - the way they incorporated the "battleship" game into the plot.

28 Oh Battleship. I do love it so. I mean, it's not good or anything but it has Brooklyn Decker's tits, what may be the best meet cute ever and an actual honest to God American hero. Two thumbs up. Do recommend.

31 Here's redlettermedia.com's take on Battleship: *** They seem to feel as I do about it. There is every reason to hate it but you just can't because it is too much fun.

Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at April 19, 2014 04:22 PM (DmNpO)

32 For some reason the movie industry people hate Battleship with a burning passion. Is it the black military hero? The gorgeous woman with real big tits (as opposed to a nubile 15 year old boy)? The lack of a military guy, business guy, or other Republican teaming up with the aliens for $ and Koch love?

Posted by: Motionview at April 19, 2014 04:22 PM (e6TyM)

33 I confess I liked Battleship. As an old guy myself, I liked the role the old guys played in it.

66 Battleship bugged the crap out of me because with just a little work it could have been a vastly better movie. For instance: if they'd just had the sense to cut out the whole "character development" bullcrap at the beginning and just get right to the zappin' and shootin', it would have rocked. Also: a bit more battleship would have been nice. I mean, when that's the name of the goddamned movie, more than a couple of scenes with the Mighty Mo would have been pretty cool.

94 For a movie that appears to have been granted a lot of Navy support, the uniforms in Battleship are ATROCIOUS. The lead character wears two pins that by the rules can never be worn together. The gold one on top and the silver one on bottom - they're for (almost) the same thing; gold is for Officer and silver for Enlisted. When a Sailor has earned the silver one and subsequently earned the gold one, only the gold one is to be worn. That shit drives me nuts. FCCS(SW/AW), Ret.

104 Battleship is also on Vudu, Google Play, and YouTube for $2.99 and Apple TV for $3.99 (which I think is HD). HD for the other guys is $3.99 as well, I think. Great website canistream.it lets you simply put in a movie name and it tells you where (or if) you can stream it.

123 For all that "Flash Gordon" is a shit movie - which it is - it is surprisingly fun to watch. I bought a copy last year (basically because of "ted") and I've watched it twice since then. BRIAN BLESSED ... Ming's hot daughter ... the Freddie Mercury soundtrack ... and the universe's least scientific yet most strangely fascinating SF locations (yes, more so than Star Wars). It may well be the best B movie of all time.

Actually it might not even be a good B movie, it might just be a classic. On the comedy front, "Revenge of the Nerds" is another guilty pleasure. Not a good movie ("Animal House" was a good movie) but fun to watch, and to root for the spazzes. Horror: "wishmaster". Yeah, I'm going to have to plug that one again.

191 I've seen Battleship, a while ago. I remember it as being unmemorable. I doubt I'll see it again, though it sounds like a fun project. Besides, I honestly can't spare the $2.99.

One lesson to learn about MST3K, though--I was originally impatient with the in-between skits, until I started watching some of the spin-offs (Cinematic Titanic, RiffTrax).

I learned that without those skits to make the characters into actual characters, then they were just the jerks who talk during the movie. Even if the movie was Battleship.

So, you know, un-asked-for advice and all.

212 Eight is too early for me. I might be able to next week, but from now until first freeze I'll be outside until I'm done for the day, which is never, because I have too many roses. If it's still going after rose season, I'll try it. I spent six hours outside, plus an hour or so around 9 am this morning & haven't finished pruning. I had to cut some so low due to dead canes, to an inch or less above ground level. Then I promptly stepped on some of them. I came in before 7 because we had a cold wind. Usually I stay out until after it's dark out & use lights we have that go on when you're near them. It was too cold. I've only pruned about half. Tomorrow it's going to be 51 & windier.

217 My ex-squid Son was going off on Battleship when I asked him "You do remember that this thing is about a board game with the lamest ad campaign ever right?" At that point he calmed down and watched it for what it is a farce sc-fi done for a laugh and a quick buck. Why do squids take themselves so damn serious when we pounder types are allowed to laugh our ass off at "Stripes"?

You know that line where the movie crosses over into being so bad it's fun? They started over that line. The real question, Is Forest Whitaker as batshit Scientology nutz as Travolta or just playing it for laughs?

Also, apparently Elizabeth Olson and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are playing a couple in Godzilla and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in Age of Ultron which is really really really funny considering one of their storylines in the comics.

Seriously, you will never, ever, ever find the likes of Liv Tyler offshore. Much less a Liv Tyler who enjoys penis...

251 Almost forgot my favorite movie of all time... "True Romance". Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken. What a great movie.

How about "Undercover Brother". So bad --- but hilarious!

And back to Dennis Hopper: "Blue Velvet".

What about foreign films? There are those Japanese ultra-gore flicks like "Chainsaw Girl", or "Audition" (ugh!)

ERASERHEAD!

255 So: what's the difference between a good bad movie and a movie that just sucks? I mean, we all love Plan 9 From Outer Space, which is a bad movie by any standard, whereas Pearl Harbor had a big budget, a good cast . . . and sucked like an industrial shop-vac.

266 My vote is for "Starship Troopers" bad as bad can be, but fun to watch. I often wonder why watching something so bad is fun to watch; I become afraid, and stop thinking about it because of the implications of further thinking. But I digress.... To counter that badness, I suggest "Fandango" with a very young Kevin Costner. The soundtrack is one of the best I ever heard with the possible exception to "Heat".
