What was the last movie you've seen?

[Fragems]

Had a B1G1 at red box so I picked up San Andreas and... American Ultra .



San Andreas is actually pretty good as far as disaster flicks go. There was plenty of disaster porn and ridiculous scenes as earth quakes and tsunamis caused mass destruction. There was alot of eye rolling at times when watching it but overall it was entertaining in a fun stupid way .



American Ultra on the other hand was god awful in so many ways. They had plenty of talented people there but the script is complete shit and everyone phoned in their performances. Literally any scene that could be considered "funny" is in this action comedy was shown in the trailer and those weren't even to hot. Unless you really have a hard on for Jesse Eisenberg or Kristen Stewart avoid this movie .

So wait if they're constantly cleaned then and everything then why do we still have e. coli outbreaks and other diseases? Most of it I think can still be traced back to feedlots with constant issues that aren't fixed. It just seems more reliable to not get sick off local meat versus big company meat. I don't know why but i think I'd feel safer with local and food that actually seems to know a season...

Ecoli is from the food not being clean when prepared. If you were to try and blame feedlots for Ecoli outbreaks, then you would have to blame a farmer every time there's an Ecoli outbreak in lettuce.

When you slaughter, the skin is removed and the meat is washed-multiple times, including with lactic acid (a naturally occurring acid that is produced by muscles, its just adding more to it) before chilling. The body is checked multiple times to be sure that there isn't stomach contaminates anywhere on the carcass, and a gut bust has a high chance of getting the carcass condemned.

Ecoli and salmonella are directly tied to cleaning and cooking. Not properly cooked? You can get it. Not properly cleaned? You can get it, especially when talking about produce.

This is a very common misconception. The biggest issue for meat comes with ground products, which have a larger surface area overall, which gets more exposure to the air, increasing the chance of coming in contact with Ecoli. This is why a burger needs to be cooked well done, but a steak can be cooked medium- a steak has much less surface area.

On topic, re-watched Fury Road the other day. Good stuff.

Watched the Netflix original Adam Sandler flick The Ridiculous 6 last night. Now, my favorite movie of all time is Seven Samurai, and The Magnificent Seven is basically a westernization of that. I was hoping beyond hope that this would be a decent spoof of that, but alas, it was not that by any means.

Sandler just completely doesn't give a shit in this. I mean, he spends the whole movie with one facial expression and one tone of voice which I think he thinks makes him sound like he was raised by Native Americans. It doesn't. Sandler of course, has a gorgeous fiance, but luckily we don't have to see him get the girl during the movie, instead focusing on him and a group he meets along the way stealing money from "bad people" to accomplish a congruent goal.

The supporting cast is made up of Jorge Garcia (big guy from Lost), Rob Schneider, Luke Wilson, Terry Crews, and Taylor Lautner of Twilight fame. Crews has some good lines and got a couple laughs, Garcia got a few laughs despite just grunting throughout the film, but the one that actually made me laugh the most was....Lautner, BY FAR. Also Schneider, Wilson, and again Sandler were awful. There were also a bunch of other inconsequential cameos where people like Spade barely had to lift a finger to get paid.

Back to Lautner...basically, he was tasked to play a complete idiot and boy did he run with it. The dumbass look he managed to keep for the ENTIRE film was downright mesmerizing, as was the voice he kept up. A resounding meh overall, but I didn't mind watching. It certainly became more watchable after getting through the beginning focusing solely on Sandler, who basically has super powers from being raised by Native Americans or something...

Also watched Ant-Man, which I don't have much to say about other than if you're interested then go watch the movie. It had great action, some cool uses of the shrinking, and a nice touch of humor. When it comes to the MCU though, I'm really anticipating Doctor Strange more than anything.

Hey Czernobog, please give us a review of any Adam Sandler movie made in the last eight or nine years.

Sandler just completely doesn't give a shit in this.

Good summary.

Kim Jong-Il's feudal Korean knockoff Godzilla movie, with special effects by Toho and directed by a kidnapped Shin Sang-ok. It is a bizarre movie to say the least. It is surprisingly watchable (mostly due to Toho) and covers an interesting time that is rarely covered in Kaiju movies - feudal periods.

The best comment that could be made about Pulgasari was by Kenpachiro Satsuma (the actor in the eponymous role and Godzilla until the mid 90s), who stated that Pulgasari was better than Godzilla 2000.

It is on youtube if you want to watch some Z movie drivel.

Street Trash

This'll melt your face, son.

Bums living in a junkyard fight each other, rape and murder a mob don's girlfriend, piss off a local cop, and drink old liquor that causes them to melt and/or explode. That right there should tell you all you need to know about whether you will enjoy this movie. Street Trash was written with one goal in mind: to offend people. Whether it's sexual harassment, racism, PTSD-fueled murder sprees, or playing Monkey in the Middle with a man's severed junk, this movie has something for everyone. The homeless are treated as subhuman scum, people beat up and then urinate or vomit on one another, a guy makes a shank out of a human femur...hell, there's even necrophilia. And then there is the melting. There is so much melting in this movie.

The premise is actually pretty simple: two brothers try to deal with living in a junkyard officially maintained by a worthless jerk who likes to harass his secretary but is really run by a psycho Vietnam vet, while a cop investigates murders in the area and a mob boss tries to get revenge for his girlfriend's murder. Also a liquor store owner nearby sells cheap booze that make people melt into pretty colors. There's blue, orange, yellow...and there is a lot of it. And that's the plot, folks. Really, it's a ridiculous movie, and it continually goes so far overboard that it actually ends up pretty laughable. I actually enjoyed the movie because it was willing to not only go to the brink of bad taste but smash through it with a phallic semi spouting racial epithets with bodily fluids spraying out the back and then do doughnuts on the brink's mutilated corpse. This movie knows what it is and revels in it. I recommend it.

Also Bryan Singer worked on it. Oh, and it was directed by J. Michael Muro, who is James Cameron's Steadicam operator of choice. That this movie has a connection to Avatar is probably the most disgusting thing I can find about it.

Street Trash is so wonderfully bad taste, what a great movie

I think I'll be going to see Bridge of Spies tomorrow, not Star Warts.

Yeah I get the hate, I'm probably one of the few that likes sandlers movies. He wasn't funny in this, to much little Nicky in his native american. The left eye gang, the baseball scene, the twilight guy, and I thought rob were funny. Vanilla ice got on my nerves.

Everest

Epic, gripping, tragic.. Everest is one of my 2015 favourites. Jason Clarke was great here as well.

Man so many movies, potentially many of them with better stories than Star Warts. So sad they get such small audience, but then again audiences nowadays have poor taste (Not talking about SW here obviously, just generally)
