macgruber movie

"So, not that I'm saying all of the following is excellent, but 75% of it is complete crap...?"

kinda! i've never seen The Karate Dog though.

Goose on the Loose

how did Dane Cook even end up in this thread

the macgruber trailer looks fucking hilarious to me, and I hate the current SNL.

the sketch that Forte plays the trick or treating sex offender has got to be the best thing he's done.

tbh the Macgruber sketches were the only thing I laughed at on the recent Betty White ep (which was the first time I'd watched the show in like 5 years or something)

well that's not entirely true, I guess I saw those Tina Fey/Sarah Palin bits, they were funny

nah he's played a grabass jerk in every comedy i've seen part of and in the renowed costner thriller mr. brooks he kept acting like he was supposed to riff but had no material ("man i hate when people drive slowly on the highway...it's like...DRIVE FASTER!!!" that kind of shit)

can't see how anyone would expecting anything much better than that tbh

seriously, i'm surprised it did even that well.

american tragedy imo

i hope Richard Dean Anderson gets royalties from this film.

on second thought, maybe that wouldn't amount to much.

ha.

can't see how anyone would expecting anything much better than that tbh

while i didn't expect it to do wayne's world money, i am surprised with the positive buzz it couldn't do better than the second week of a queen latifah/common romance.

then again the movie has a 44 on metacritic so maybe our boy slock is more of an outlier than i assumed

im pretty sure i am :(

glenn kenny liked it tho

It's an absolutely terrible movie with several bits that will make you laugh until your head hurts. I'm actually puzzled as to how that works, because I mean the movie is TERRIBLE but also HILARIOUS.

okay then how does it compare to Step Brothers?

Step Bros is way more quotable but this was really funny/retarded.

i've seen the trailers and this Forte character seems too whiny to handle a whole movie.

the movie is TERRIBLE but also HILARIOUS.

otm, i don't know how it managed to be both simultaneously but it did.

forte's whininess led to the best parts of the movie imo.

he admirably doesn't try to make his character all that likable

the scene where you find out why him and val kilmer are enemies

OMG yes megalols

does everyone who likes this movie think that step brothers is a classic?

i kind of agree with this, i mean it's not like a "great movie," but i feel like thats kind of besides the point you know? it's meant to be, like, a bad action movie. not saying that being bad is the point, but like, not sure how this movie could have been "better" on those terms yknow?

No, I mean as far as filmmaking goes, like maintaining a linear narrative and changing locations with some purpose... this movie fails in about every area. What it is is just a freeform vehicle for fantastically funny gags strung together clumsily.

yeah i mean... it's just so ridiculous i would never even think to hold it to that kind of standard u know? just keep shooting the lols @ me, nonsequitur style if u must

i'm a little more interested in this now that you are saying it's incoherent and doesn't hang together. fuck a plot!

val kilmer pretty amusing in this too

sounds like we have a new pootie tang

croup why have u not seen this yet

stuffed up enough this weekend I just stuck around the house. If it's still at my nearby 14plex for a second week, I'll strike.

though i might have gone anyway if i'd remembered val kilmer was in it

i wouldnt count on it still being there :(

so funny. fat kilmer forever.

but then i think step brothers is a classic

so do i

Coincidentally, I only saw Step Brothers for the first time when I was watching tv after getting home from MacGruber last Friday night. They were both funny, but Step Brothers is probably the better movie and MacGruber is the funnier movie.

Swift bombing out in theaters will probably only hasten its cult status.

If it's still at my nearby 14plex for a second week, I'll strike.

I doubt it will still be there, but definitely go if it is -- I know you'd like it.

kinda can't wait to see it again tbh

seeing this tonight since it's cheap day - hoping everyone else will be at shrek instead.
