The last Troma film I liked was Citizen Toxie or Terror Firmer. Whichever came out last?

Citizen Toxie came out last yeah.

Yknow, now that I think of it, I havent seen a "new" Troma movie since that one, then. Those were the last two recent ones I had seen, and I liked them both a lot and then ignored any other new Troma flicks.

I'm a pretty big Troma fan. Love the obvious Toxie and Nuke Em films (except part 3... shudder). SGT K-Man is great. Tromeo & Juliet is incredible. Teenage Cat Girls In Heat is hilarious. Even the earlier cheapo skin flicks like Sizzle Beach are entertaining. And a good deal of their pickups are awesome like Blood Sucking Freaks (one of my all time fav "horror" films).

But I will say this. I dnt understand what's to like about Fat Guy Goes Nutso. A lot of Troma fans rave about that one. I hated it. Hated it. Oh my God, did I hate it.

Haha. I need to check out Fat Guy Goes Nutso. I'm sure it's nothing like the incredible Fatty Drives the Bus.

I love Troma films, mainly the pickups...

Happiness is fucking HORRIBLE

HORRUIBLE stupid pointless aimless masochistic movie.

After about an hour of the main character running the same scam over and over I got bored and turned it off.

When Wong saved Strange's life after he jumped off a bridge I said, "y'know Wong shouldn't show up in NYC to give Strange a ticket to Tibet" - and then Wong handed Strange a map to Tibet - I sighed and turned it off.

Bad weekend for movies.

Quantum of Solace. Not as good as Casino Royale but lightyears ahead of anything before CR.

Major downfall--too much action and not enough plot. There needed to be more exposition between the action scenes, which also went on a bit long. There also wasn't a very memorable score, I didn't think.

But it had good points. Craig is a great bond, and the globe-hopping was fun. The use of a couple of female spies was a nice touch. And I really enjoy how the friction between M and Bond has become a strong subplot as Bond matures as a spy and tests the bounds of what his boss will let him get away with, etc.

Overall, a 4 out of 5 stars, for me.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is so amazing in that movie

...I'm only kidding, I don't care in the least what people like or dislike. I just disagree wholeheatedly in this case.

Iron man was undeniably entertaining the whole way through and did a great job balancining entertainment and character related issues. Plus I'm a fan of the comics.

And teeth is not really very good, its hilarious, but I wouldn't reccomend it to someone looking for a good movie.

see, I think TEETH was amazing.

viewtiful, it's funny. You and I are sooooooooo similar in musical taste. But we often disagree on films. Which is fine, of course. I'm glad I have you to discuss music on here!

Nowhere

atsonicpark 11.25.2008 03:54 AM

Nowhere is amazing. My favorite ending of all time!

atsonicpark 11.25.2008 03:56 AM

Been on a giuseppe andrews kick...
who flung poo: 8/10
airplane pillows: 9/10

Maybe the best underground filmmaker around today. You'll be hearing a lot about him soon.

davenotdead 11.25.2008 04:07 AM

Nowhere was tolerable, but I decided against keeping it around.
