Special Needs Revolt (2024) - I enjoyed this quite a bit even though it's a TROMA product. At it's best, it evoked Howard Stern's wack pack circa late 90's (Crackhead Bob, etc). Other times, the overt silliness is a little much and at nearly 2 hours, its long for this kind of thing. It's very openly anti Donald Trump, which would have annoyed me a few years ago, but I can't say it does now. The jokes and politics aren't particularly clever, though.

Specials needs people (openly called r*tards here) live in a house and have shenanigans until "Donald Kreuger" gets elected POTUS and starts putting all weirdos into concentration camps. It's up to Down Syndrome laden Billy to lead a band of wheelchair bound, black, trans, etc misfits to take him down, while also making sophmoric remarks and having bodily function humor.

I've said it ten times before, but I don't watch many comedies so this was a nice change of pace. The lead guy is the real selling point. He flubs as many of the lines as he successfully delivers and it's even better when he does. Again, it's extremely silly and a bit long but how can you resist the title/ concept?  I apparently couldn't.

5/5

The trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9q6ZO1EyZU would probably be enough for most people.

Quote from: Alex on June 04, 2026, 09:28:18 AM(Skeletor in particular looked like he was wearing a body stocking with muscles drawn on). It was never going to be high art, but it is at least fun.

Skeletor is actually the one part of this so so movie that I think they nailed. Body stocking with muscles drawn on? Ok. Can you prove that or is this some kind of Freudian fantasy you have? Plus I don't even think Masters of the Universe is showing in the theatres anymore. And I don't know why because they are about to show that crummy new Avengers movie like in December with Dr. Doom. Doomsday or whatever. And that one, at least on the trailers I have seen he actually does like like some kind of dweeb with body stocking muscles drawn on.

Now I know why I choose to "inhabit" this forum. I still have my 20/20 vision. I must be drinking the right carrot juice and choosing not to go to tanning beds (inside joke from another forum don't ask. It involves dissing on Christopher Nolan too and I know how you guys worship him. If Masters of the Universe were directed by him, with or without Courtney Cox in it, it would be the greatest movie of all time. Doesn't Christopher Nolan in a way look like Eric Swalwell?  :smile: )

Jared Leto was an OG Skeletor. Maybe some strange lighting issues where he has to go back to Earth to where Adama works in that office and his mystique is basically held in check. But that could have just as easily been done to Sauron from the Lord of the Rings.

*sigh* I didn't say he was, I said he looked like it. It was a comment about the CGI. Maybe your vision isn't quite as 20/20 as you thought if you couldn't figure that out.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on October 28, 2026, 09:31:28 AMWHEN THE SUN STANDS STILL (2024): A man's stepdaughter mysteriously disappears in the woods. This arty paranormal mystery does a good job of suggesting cosmic mysticism on a minimal budget--Mark Richards' experimental electronic score carries a lot of that load--but will prove too slow and obscure for the average viewer. Available on Fawesome. 2/5. 

Wow. You posted this twice! You must really like this movie. Usually as a rule I don't like any movies or books that has the word Sun in it. Hopefully this movie will break that slump. Anytime I see the word Sun it reminds me of one of my best friends who in High School said, "I hate the Sun. The Sun is my enemy."

Actually there is supposedly some scientific truth to that. They are saying that humans and the way we are designed it is almost as if we came from somewhere's else. Other than Earth. Because we develop Skin cancer (like the Sun is something almost alien to us.) Yeah I know it is still considered a star. But whatever. I am definitely starting to favor those cloudy days more and more. And I like my eggs sunny side up. But that is not a movie. A movie has never ever convinced me that it can merge well with eating and food. And the closest that a book has got was the one called How to Eat Fried Worms.

I have yet to see any Hollywood movie match that by the way. I think the closest they have got are those hackers movies. But eh. Skeet Ulrich is some kind of computer genius? Or Jonny Lee Miller? Ok. In Bitcoin I trust I suppose. Now I know why Frankenstein is breaking his back while trying to hold or carry Llona Massey in the picture above. He knew that this was all coming.

Quote from: lester1/2jr on August 26, 2025, 05:02:28 PMBlonde Savage (1947) - I liked this throwaway sort of jungle adventure thingy. A macho guy and his wimpier, wisecracking sidekick make their living doing missions and so forth in Africa. They get a big paying job that ends up being a huge headache, but it helps the macho guy meet the titular savage. Lucky for him, she wears her hair like American women in the 1940's, so it'll be an easy transition to western civilization if things work out. All they have to do is exchange her loincloth for a pointy boob dress. Or will he stay and fashion himself a he-loincloth?



Amazing what people could do back in those days without cell phones and advanced communications schools. Thinking of 1940's movies I was thinking about the Gary Cooper movie "Pride of the Yankees" where he supposedly plays as the ill fated Lou Gehrig. I used to like that movie back in the day. But now I really can't stomache it. And it is not because Lou Gehrig dies. I don't think Gary Cooper looks anything like the real Lou Gehrig. Or even acts like him. Plus when you watch sports and all you are thinking about how some player is eventually going to die of some uncurable disease. To me that is not the impetus of why you get into or care about sports. I feel like the whole premise of that movie was kind of insulting. So yeah I don't like it. My parent's generation thought it was one of the best movies ever made for some reason.

Exchange loin clothe for a dress — woah. Easy there killer! Uh so is this actor — I mean he is obviously not Errol Flynn? Or is he. Who is the one holding the hottie? Looks to me like he some is Poor man's version of an Errol Flynn. Like the big armed swashbuckling type. But yeah. My guess is that there were some babes back then I don't know why there wouldn't have been. And no matter how they dressed. Probably some good looking women too back in the Cro Magnon era! Have you ever thought about that Lester? I have.
Seems like I remember some Lucille Balle movie like this where she was in some jungle area with these extreme boring guys. And all I remember was some strange awkward moment in the jungle where she was sitting with these despondant looking guys and finally Lucille Balle breaking the ice (in her usual sardonic and funny charismatic way) "You guys don't care much for women do you?"


Hey lester it might be kind of hard to beat this one. If you are talking about 1940s movies. Frankenstein looks like he is about to break his back! Heavy load.
