What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Matt]

Could we say Renny Harlin's best movie was Ford Fairlane?

I'm already on record with such a claim. It's trash, but it's brilliant trash.

[Ed Hocken]

I'd have to agree.

A complete and utter time capsle of the Dice-craze.

And Ed O'Neill as Lt. "Bootytime USA" Amos

[Nathan]

Love Ford fairlane.

[Captain Russ]

Long Kiss Goodnight is still tops.

Then Die Harder.

Then Mr. Rock 'N Roll Detective.

His really really epically dumb bullshit is all fun. Deep Blue Sea, Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island, and even that Mindhunters flick all fall into this category, and each one is completely ridiculous but in a fun way.

I didn't realize until now how much Harlin's stuff was just as big of a part of my youth as Spielbergo and Burton.

[Abraham Smashington]

Fuck me. I find this hard to believe. Cos Skyline was one of the worst films I've ever seen released in a cinema.

Skyline entertained the shit outta me with how ridiculously bad it was. And that ending was FUCKING BALLS AWESOME in my opinion. IT's like a bad video game come to life.

BLA was just 2 hours of boring ass military bullshit with shitty aliens, lame action scenes and nothing seemed to actually happen.

[Bobby Bear]

You could take out "BLA" from that post, Rob, and very aptly describe another film about combat I witnessed this week #sorry, couldn't resist.

[Abraham Smashington]

Except you'd be wrong about the action scenes Bobby. I'm sorry, but for all the shit Bay gets, the guy can shoot action fucking awesomely. And with hardly any shaky cam like in BLA.

[Matt]

I haven't seen BLA yet, and I have no real intention to change that. Everyone that I know that has seen it says that it sucks.

[Jan]

Fun Fact: BLA is called World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles in this backyard of the planet.

Because we wanna part of being nuked to oblivion, too! So let´s add some more movie title clichees!

[Bobby Bear]

Except you'd be wrong about the action scenes Bobby.... the guy can shoot action.... And with hardly any shaky cam like in BLA.

As pretty as they are, they wore me down quickly. The man has no sense of pace. It was like watching a multi-million dollar version of some 14 year old's Call of Duty rampage compilation. That kind of thing's aesthetically pleasing in small doses, but it's hardly a film.

Gravitas doesn't always have to mean the scale of the building(s) you're blowing up. If he realizes that, maybe I'll see what the fuss is about.

FUCKING SOLD!! HAHAHAHA

[Ed Hocken]

So you admit to watching it "ironically".

[Abraham Smashington]

No, I wanted to see it Ed. that's the difference. It just so happened to be so bad that instead of hating it, I really fucking enjoyed it.

Different strokes and all that.

I wanted to see Road House on the big screen and I enjoyed it.
