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

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.

it looked like 'menstruation' to me

but thank you

my work today will not allow for more reveals, but i'll unleash the top 15 with a vengeance on monday. btw morbs voted and his #1 was indeed timecop.

Another I haven't seen. For some reason I just assumed I wouldn't like it.

Timecock was the name of my third oh nevermind

wrt starship troopers

tried watching starship troopers once, got about 15 minutes in and turned it off, never went back

maybe I just don't get late stage verhoeven

From,

Everyone

otm; omar should run all film polls, maybe the world.

^^^ didn't help that I'd read the book first, which is much much better.

lol ENBB, also: otm

poll is great for sure, my only complaint is the ilx quotes are so old and are all by tombot

E, you should try Starship Troopers.
It absolutely fits the thread title, and is a lolfest imo.

aMAAAAAAYzing gif enbb

I remember going with a buddy to see Starship Troopers the night it opened and just having the greatest freaking time. By the time it got to the flamethrower bug burning the dude's arm off I knew we were viewing a classic for the ages.

also why is kill bill so high

Starship Troopers is amazing--EVERYBODY gets a horrible end in that one. Also the lighting is so weird.

people who don't love starship troopers...i don't allow them in my house.

didn't help that I'd read the book first, which is much much better.

find it baffling that anyone could find Heinlein's painfully earnest fascism superior to Verhoeven's bitter satire

idk if the heinlein book is better really! i read it in middle school so who knows. all i remember is the main character getting stressed out about his math homework.

i take it the movie is about fascism while the books i just kind of fascist.

xp heh

Casper Van Dien is like a walking lol forever and always

You guys who haven't seen it would it help to mention that RUE MCCLANAHAN is in this movie?

i knew i was remembering something from ilx past:

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=50&threadid=140

things i like in the assault on precicnt 13: the kid with the icecream gets shot not saved (= i am sick but whatevah)

things i like in starship trooper: it is based on the premise that the entire human race = utterly dim but underwear-model gorgeous gay men, some of them by chance in girl's bodies

Yes but Mark, it is set in the FUTURE. Surely this is what we will evolve to?

Starship Troopers book is like the movie minus the satire and plus real fascism.

My teenage love of Heinlein is deeply embarrassing now. But I did grow out of it.

You'd either grow out of it, or join a militia.

Man, watching Total Recall again right now. The grimaces Arnold manages are so incredible they look like make-up effects.

With the book, you've got to write your own satire. The movie satirises fascism in the same way that Robocop satirises consumerism and corporations, ie, with a big cheesy LOL.
