macgruber movie

We wanted to plug this comedy character into a world he really shouldn’t be in. I had a conversation with Powers Boothe, where he said, “What is this? Is this Hot Shots?” And I’d say, “No. You’re dead serious.” He’d say, “So in the scene where he’s offering to fellate me, how should I play that?” And I’d say, “It’s heartbreaking. It’s genuinely heartbreaking.”

awesome

I really love the use of "Hot Shots" as shorthand

also want to believe boothe really used the term "fellate"

glad u liked it croup.

powers boothe. i am so there.

why isn't this nestled between mystery team and something starring luke wilson in the redbox machine already. can't wait

this was AMAZING

the way val kilmer says "WEEEEEEEAK"

also macgruber porks his wife's ghost in a cemetery

ehhhh really guys? this had a couple of huge laughs (the note) but I thought it was pretty lacking overall.

u must have been out of the theater when he porks the ghost of his wife??

one of many bits that was smirk-funny, not lol-worthy, mostly for going on way way too long. also the repeated gags just seemed lazy, not clever.

Yeah I just hate it when running gags run throughout a movie. Also really hate refrains and choruses in songs. So lazy.

there's more than one way to repeat a gag.

macgruber orgasms were A+++

This was the best SNL spin-off since "Hot Tub Time Machine." Note: in 2012, the cast of SNL will travel back in time and premiere the skit "Hot Tub Time Machine." The rest of history, alas, remains the same.

Didn't see this piece of ish, btw. Because it looks terrible.

hey gr8 u saw the preview which shows none of the best parts because they are unairable 4 tv

To make that joke and then gripe about macgruber looking terrible.

lol!

not that funnie imo

does richard dean anderson appear after the credits or something? I thought he was supposed to be in this.
i have very conflicted feelings about this:

1. i am glad macgyver isn't sullied by appearing in this
2. but he's already sullied himself by appearing in pepsi macgruber ads

ah, this was alright, no great shakes though.

i really like Val Kilmer since he got fat and old.

Saw this on Thursday just to have a break in the heat. Could NOT stop laughing, from the soundtrack choices, to the car stereo jokes, to the coffee shop scene. It horrifies me that I have to be the same age as these guys, as I remember all these stupid Cannon Group/New World late 80's action shite flicks.

:D gotta see this again

THIS SHIT IS HELLA FUNNY WTF LOOOOOOL

yuip

saw it on yr recommend, thx

still die whenever i think of the abortion joke

'we actually all went to college together...'

starting tight end for the university of texas at el paso

I dunno if I posted this on ilxor.com/ILX earlier but Will Forte is very handsome. it's just that he might be like five foot two

haha i just realized i was thinking of ryan reynolds---they look exactly alike <-- One of the weirder claims ever made

But yeah, MacGruber... Jesus Christ, I laughed so much harder at this than I ever would have predicted. So many huge laughs.

SPOILERS for a great joke:

Lt. Dixon Piper: Why did he do it? Why did Cunth kill your wife?

MacGruber: To this day, I have no idea. We actually all went to college together. Believe it or not, we were very close friends. Then after graduation, he got engaged to her. He asked me to be his best man and right about that time, I started banging her and mowing her box. She was actually the first person I felt comfortable enough around to let eat out my butt. Anyway, shortly thereafter, she left him for me. She was actually carrying his child at the time. I asked her to terminate it, obviously, so we could start fresh. And she agreed. We were so in love. And he took that from me.

Lt. Dixon Piper: That's really fucked up.

MacGruber: Thanks.

best joke in the movie for sure

Badly paraphrased, I'm sure, but his delivery of the punchline to this killed me:

MacGruber: "I'm gonna cut off your dick and..."
Cunth: "...and shove it in my mouth? You're like a broken record!"
MacGruber: "The only record I'm gonna break is the amount of your own dick in your mouth record."

And his sex noises were amazing.

totally buying this when its $5 at wal-mart

the only record im gonna break is the amount of your own dick in your mouth record

lol didnt see it literally 1 post above

"no, macgruber would never tip."

the look on the barista's face as wiig takes the money out of the jar.

I feel like I've seen this exact joke done somewhere else before (can't remember where), but they sell it thanks to Powers Boothe's incredible deadpan - MacGruber begging to be let back on the case, culminating in him screaming "I will suck your dick. I will fuck you. I will let you fuck me. I will fuck anything in this room; just point at an object and I'll start fucking it."

the director drinks everytime someone sez any version of macgruber on the commentary

is the commentary any good? jorma + other lonely island guys were p. funny on the hot rod commentary.

it shouldve been better, jorma had 4 beers while talking, but it nvr got that funny

<3 jorm, shoulda been snl cast member imo, funniest of the lonely island dudes

the part where hes all 'if you change yr mind' and hands her the piece of paper with 'im at the pentagon' in messy big handwriting slayed me completely

hahaha

i like everyone involved in this movie, the SNL sketches, and generally am on the same wavelength w/ a lot of you dudes re: comedies, but man this just didn't do anything for me. a few good gags, sure, but it felt kinda uneventful and not very fun overall.

Just looked up Robbie Dupree on YouTube because of this movie.

saw this over the weekend FINALLY

fucking owned

I think my wife is still somewhat annoyed that I picked this over The Adjustment Bureau but I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE
