Is the rated X version even available? I'd like to see what the hub-bub was about. In today's world, it wouldn't be an X.

According to Wikipedia, the X rating was due to excessive violence and gore. The three scenes they referenced was the conference scene where the robot malfunctions and shoots the businessman near the beginning, the scene where Murphy (RoboCop) gets killed, and then near the end when Robocop stabs the guy in the neck.

MGM released the "unrated" full version of the movie back in 2007.

sort sounds like the warning on one of mr snicks computer games that basically said if you are easily offended or grossed out do not download this segment of the game.

Name of game?

 

[snickerd3]

oh gosh, i think it was one of the call of duty games.

Its been awhile but I think it contained maps/surroundings of places where real life terrorist attacks and other such major events occurred. I came into the room one time and asked why it looked like a terminal at Londons Heathrow airport.

but back to the topic of movies...i wonder what will be showing on opening weekend at the drive in next weekend.

We saw Social Network last night and we were both surprised at how good it is. I didn't know ... and Zuckerburg is actually ... I can't fathom what he did ...

I watched the Social Network the other night on DVD. Interesting movie. I wonder if ... I also don't understand how ... I also find it ironic that ...

You guys do realize that The Social Network is actually a work of fiction and not a documentary, right?

So I got home and started watching Archer on Netflix. Holy sh*t this is hilarious! Why didn't I start watching this earlier?

I've been watching Archer since the promos started playing. I've got every episode on my DVR, and I watch them regularly. There was a big void created when Frisky Dingo got cancelled, and Archer fills that void and then some. There are so many random references packed into every episode, I don't see how the writers keep it up. It's a work of absolute genius punctuated by pure brilliance. My wife thinks it's "kind of funny" and doesn't understand why I laugh so hard at almost every line. I think it kind of annoys her that I have to keep pausing and rewinding because I end up laughing so hard I miss the next line. Oh, and I can't stop myself from randomly inserting "yuuuuup" and "what, you don't?" into conversations...

Ha! I say "yuuuuuuup!" and "noooooooope!" with the Aisha Tyler inflection constantly!

I too miss Frisky Dingo quite a bit, but Archer is on a whole different level. The episode from I think two weeks ago where he was in the hot tub and you could see his Seamus tattoo had me dying.

Not really a movie, but we've started watching Season 1 of "Lost" on Netflix.
Why exactly was this show so popular? I'm hoping it gets MUCH better, but I can't even feign interest at this point (aside from the sorta-hot chick).

If I recall, the first two seasons of LOST were ok. But then they just started unnecessarily killing off some of the "better" characters on the show. [/watch]

Only TV series I can remember following is Burn Notice That was only after getting it on DVD though so I can watch an entire season in one week

lusone: for Burn Notice. Good show. Also liking The Fall of Sam Ax. Dexter is another awesome show that I'm hooked on.

One thing I found very funny about it was the fact that the "futuristic" police cars were mid-eighties Ford Tauruses.

LOL! :Locolaugh:

I saw Of Gods and Men last weekend. It's one of the most touching, yet somber, movies I've ever seen.

 

[Master slacker]

Believe it or not, we finally saw Casino. The three hour marathon took 4 days to complete since we only saw it after mini-MS went beddy-bye. All in all, not a bad flick. Lost count how many times Pesci dropped the "F" bomb. Towards the end, we got weirded out during the scene Pesci and Sharon Stone boned. Probably the grossest part of the movie for us.

Worse than the aluminum baseball bat execution?

 

[Master slacker]

Yes yes yes.

Top uke: moments:

1) Pesci / Stone bonin'

2) Bruised Pesci in nothing but tighty-whities

3) The final bat to the face of Pesci's brother

On Saturday, I took the opportunity while Mrs. MS was at a wedding and mini-MS was asleep to watch I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. This classic film is one of awesomeness and hilarity. It includes big hats, midgets, pimp shoes with goldfish, and mind-blowing special effects and stunts. I highly suggest those who have not seen it to do so at their earliest convenience. To those who have seen it before, I highly suggest you see it again at your earliest convenience... and get theme music because every hero should have it.

I'm all for classics such as Caddy Shack, etc. But for those who have not seen Old School (w/ Will Ferrell, I highly recommend it. It's got the right mix of stupid and funny for those who like such things.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Been a while since Ive seen Will Ferrell mentioned in the same sentence as "funny" without adding "not".

the radio this morning was saying he was complaining because the studio said NO to cable cuy 2, or whatever that movie was called
