Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

speaking of point blank?

I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war

Fresh water! Sunshine! Nothing to do but breed...

GIVE ME BACK MY SON

I can't overstate how much I love the Toecutter from MM1 though. That dude was fucking great.

Mad Max and Road Warrior are surely two of the best movies ever made.

morbz, there is a lonely planet for you:

the ghost of jay blanchard haunts it though. BE CAREFUL!

Station Master: That must be your friend over there. They didn't leave much of him.
Bubba Zanetti: Must've cut his heart out, eh?
Station Master: Yes. That's what I meant. Poor bastard!
Toecutter: [whirls on the Station Manager] The Nightrider. That is his name... the Nightrider.
Station Master: [frightened] The NightRider.
Toecutter: Remember him when you look at the night sky!
Station Master: I will.
Toecutter: Take your hat off.
Station Master: Anything you say.
Toecutter: Anything I say. What a wonderful philosophy you have. Take him away.

just realized wez was also bennett in commando!

Best director commentary ever = Herzog. Interviews, interjections into his own movies--never get tired of it.

It bears repeating that the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell commentary tracks on The Thing, Big Trouble, etc. are equally as great.

Just realized that RW & MM were the only violations of my dumbass will not forte for more than one movie in a series rule.

xpost oh shit I will have to listen to russell/carpenter commentary

FWIW, I think accusing Morbs of being anti-fun is totally wrongheaded. Do you think it's more likely that he consistently lobs contrarianism grenades into random threads out of some grave sense of duty to educate the plebes or because his refined skill at poking hornets' nests makes him titter like a giddy schoolboy?

I hate rhetorical questions.

morbz is momus jr. i can dig it. i liked momus on ilx. i like morbz on ilx. they have their fun.

I think it's mostly because he thinks if he pokes those hornets enough, they'll get the point and stop stinging

Morbs doesn't lob contrarianism grenades, though. He just acts pissy and tells everyone how stupid they are, while rarely engaging on why we should be ashamed of appreciating "cable junk."

a little bit

only everyone is wrong but him

(FWIW, I don't dislike Morbs. He's just like some precocious little kid who constantly makes me roll my damn eyes and sigh exasperatedly. Drives me nuts but I can't stay mad at him.)

i hate myself for not voting in this poll.

you should

Predator is the high-water mark and there'll be no Lethal Weapon / Point Break / Top Gun / Under Siege.

"Point Break" placed today and I fully expect "Lethal Weapon" and "Top Gun" in the top 10.

I also hate myself for not voting in this poll, there is no way "Terminator" and "NxNW" should have missed the top 10.

i know, i do too.

and myself.

xps

i guess i'm not super invested in film threads but i cannot fathom not digging morbz trolling steez as a super high level internet bit

xxxxxxp the first porn you were ever IN some dude?

how many points did voters have to divvy out?

I wonder how many people actually voted.

I think Dr. M is delightful.

i rilly hope top gun and lethal weapon aren't top ten. then i might have to pull a morbz.

50 points to the top one xp

the second porn i was in was called Pisces XXX, as it happens

I sort of figured that they will be if only because they haven't shown up yet and you know they're going to.

err xpost

mel in road warrior everything i love in life mel in lethal weapon everything i don't love.

again we are moving from action into "action"

a porn poll could be very funny

I have a soft spot for LW.

what is this person saying?

i hate myself for not voting in this poll.

I do, too. (Dammit google got there already.)

GOOLE.

'morbzturbation'?

Morbs is a lovely curmudgeon. Besides, the Muppets wouldn't be be half as fun without Statler & Waldorf's lame takedowns.

lol google

god damn bugs wacked us johnny

I want to watch starshipp troopers rn

it's some kinda smart bug

Starship Troopers is pretty rad. So cheese but so A+ with its effects and fighting sequences.

it's kinda perfect. in its way.

Starship Troopers is like 5th Element in that my wife will be excited to watch it and i'm fine w/ in theory (like i don't just dismiss it because it's "dumb") but i don't actually get any enjoyment out of seeing it.
