Whoa shakey's nonsensical posts make me want to LIKE this movie.

Also: still dying over concept of Nick Cage running around in a bear costume punching ladies and screaming "BITCHES"

That sounds like the basis for an Aqua Teen full-length.

I watched Final Destination 2 in a similar state. You need a big group of loser friends, some of whom may vomit in the theatre and ideally it ought to be Valentines Day!

Life's never boring when you're drunk.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but the final destination movies are awesome!

You say my problem is I don't remember...

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

You *see my problem is...

answers on a postcard

I'm kind of happy to hear this is awful. A mediocre remake is the ultimate insult.

Sounds like it has the makings of a good drinking game, though. Cage furrows brow, take a drink. Cage hits a chick, take a drink.

― Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

should be done in the theatre though.

Also stripping ought to be involved somehow, as in all good things in life.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

*drink every time there is a bee onscreen (this will keep you chugging)
*drink every time Cage says "I'm a police officer" or similar
*drink every time Cage says "A little girl is missing" or similar
*drink every time little girl is hit by truck
*two drinks every time blind crone twins appear
*finish drink every time Cage punches a bitch

I haven't seen the remake (or any of the director's previous films) but it sounds like the bee thing is used in as a misogynistic analogy - female domination

I'm not sure if it would be a spoiler to post what the women are chanting at the end, but that's exactly how it came across.

My favourite lines from the film -

Nick Cage: Blah blah something dead.
Teacher: We try not to use the word "dead" in front of the children
Nick Cage: I suppose you think that incredibly quixotic of me.
Teacher: Yes.

The Braveheart makeup was funny too, almost like the producers had been a room trying to think of all the Scottish/paegan things they could think of off the tops of their heads, and then just used that stuff.

three months pass...

one of the funniest films i have ever seen--Nic Cage in a bear suit!

i think the first moment i just burst out laughing uncontrollably was when Cage threatens the chick in a bird mask with his gun--then takes her bicycle.

FOR JOHNNY RAMONE

NOT THE BEES!! NOT THE BEES!!

Funiest thing I've seen all year.

And Ghost Rider is around the corner!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 7 January 2007 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

how can anyone think labute wasn't intending this to be funny?

― cutty (mcutt), Sunday, 7 January 2007 23:54 (nineteen years ago)

neil labute:

"How could I also make a movie that’s scary, you know, or at least creepy, during the daytime? How could I make that interesting? Those elements remained, but the way in which that character’s connected to the island - the patriarchy, which I have kind of turned into a matriarchy - all of those things are ways in which I saw to reimagine that material. To talk about something that was outside of the kind of really Christian versus Pagan-type deal of the first film and look at something that I had been working on a lot in my own writing: the idea of gender politics which are certainly, arguably, have been around as long if not longer than the concerns of the first movie.”

― ‘•’u (gear), Sunday, 7 January 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

oh man, he was clueless wasn't he...

not the bees-- not the bees!

― cutty (mcutt), Sunday, 7 January 2007 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

well, this is labute we're talking about...

― zombierza (tehresa), Monday, 8 January 2007 00:01 (nineteen years ago)

i'm always wary of the "he meant for this to be some goofy-ass bullshit" argument, and I'm a big DePalma-Boorman fan.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 8 January 2007 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

OK the punching in the bear suit is pretty great. Also: WHY IS IT BURNED? WHY IS IT BURNED? WHY? WHY?!

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Monday, 8 January 2007 01:54 (nineteen years ago)

STEP AWAY FROM THE BIKE

I might have to rent this now.

― Beth S. (Ex Leon), Monday, 8 January 2007 02:33 (nineteen years ago)

ottersome. and i dig the original.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 8 January 2007 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

I'm telling you, this and The Village, double-bill of suck.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:16 (nineteen years ago)

I'd like to ask Leelee about the karate kick to the face.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:17 (nineteen years ago)

Wicker Man's a lot more fun than the Village though

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 8 January 2007 04:02 (nineteen years ago)

Just from the youtube clip, I know it is. You have Nic Cage in a bear costume, Leelee getting karate kicked, and bees!

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 8 January 2007 04:04 (nineteen years ago)

This has totally made my evening.

top two of my bottom 5 of the year, if i recall correctly

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 8 January 2007 06:23 (nineteen years ago)

If this past year, surely Lady in the Water instead.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 06:24 (nineteen years ago)

oh shit, that's what i meant! it all blends together into one wonderful dream.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 8 January 2007 06:27 (nineteen years ago)

Hahah. You make it sound so good.

This is a very laughable film. Looks like it will be good fun for some laughs.

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Monday, 8 January 2007 06:53 (nineteen years ago)

Cage hits a chick, take a drink.

― Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Bees? That's how this one ends? With bees? BEES?

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

MY EYES

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

I saw this a few days ago on the airplane on the way home from the UK (visited Burrowhead and defiled Wicker Man feet from the original) and larfed out loud several times. Esp. after the hallucination sequence underwater where Cage yells "GodDAMMIT" on the dock. Howie would have NEVER done that. Oh, and the bear suit.

― The Milkmaid (The Milkmaid), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

And the bees.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Bees? That's how this one ends? With bees? BEES?

DON'T SPOIL THE "SHOCKING" ENDING!!!!!!!!

― Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

"listen man, i'm havin a REALLY bad day, okay??"

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 8 January 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

HAHAHAHA my god! That "how'dit get burned!!!???" bit, wtf.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

I should mention that I DID NOT DEFILE/MAIM the Wicker Man feet -- I merely visited the feet that someone else maimed/defiled.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

Does he die at the end of this version? (I can't imagine anyone on this thread will be too concerned about spoilers)

― chap (chap), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ethan's fat bees are having their revenge!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

I would love to think that Ethan has started a cult dedicated to killing people with belly button rings or lame music writers with bees.

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

That "Murder! Murder! You'll all be guilty!!" bit is reminiscent of Mugatu's "I've been taking crazy pills!!" bit near the end of "Zoolander".
