Give Me a Movie/TV Show/Song/Band and I Will Review (1 Viewer)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Porky's

A classic...in its genre. Often imitated but never duplicated. The scene about Ballbricker identifying the wang is hilarious.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Hoop Dreams

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The Hold Steady

Love them in small doses. But I should say I haven't heard all of their stuff. Really dig Chips Ahoy until the get to the "whoa uh OOOOOO uh OOOOO parts"

 

[Peyton Marino]

The Jim Rome Show

TV show?

radio show.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

As long as we're going down the OPM R&B ####, how about Lucy Pearl's "Dance Tonight?"

No clue who/what that is.

Sbarro Pizza

Haven't had it in probably 15 years but it was my "go to" place in the mall food court when I had little kids.

Top Gun (the movie, not the book)

Pure crap. Won't even watch it for the nostalgia factor.

Also Olive Garden's unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks.

I actually don't think I've ever partooken in the USS&B option. But I will say that I believe Olive Garden is unfairly maligned most of the time. If you go in there knowing what to expect and you're not some food snob jagoff there is nothing wrong with OG.

Hoop Dreams

I have to admit that I've never seen it. I feel bad about that because I have black friends.

Following directions down, goon?

The Breakfast Club

 

[ATC1]

Rush

 

[hagmania]

The Big Bang Theory

 

[McGarnicle]

Pearl Jam

Not terrible for their time period (short window like around 1991) but can't stand the test of time.

Over all rating? Should have died out about a year after "Ten". Slogging, overwrought, depressing, and heavy handed. I get why high schoolers and moody flannel wearers dig them but let it go.

You're dead to me imo

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The Breakfast Club

Ug. I'm pretty much the same age as those characters so I'll assume that I'm supposed to like BC. It's actually pretty piss-poor. Too many cliches and basically 35 year old John Hughes pretending to know how HS kids talked.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Rush

I dig some of their stuff up until and including Moving Pictures. But not all of it.

Fun Fact: Red Barchetta was the very first video I saw on MTV.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I realize it's not a TV show, movie, song or band, but I was wondering if you could make an exception for garfieldminusgarfield.net. It is easily consumable if you have not seen it before.

Thank you.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The Big Bang Theory

I'd rather watch a 6 hour loop of Kevin James giving his dog a Cleveland Steamer than 2 minutes of BBT.

What is this? 2012?

It's pure genius, BTW.

I've never seen it.

I'm partial to GaG myself.

Gwar

Band of Brothers

Shakes the Clown

Gwar is a joke, right? Like Spinal Tap and candied onions that look like candied apples.

Band of Brothers is freaking epic. One of the best mini-series ever.

I have not seen all of Shakes.

Explosions in the Sky (band)

Don't know enough about them to say anything.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

No links, cupcake.

And I have no idea who that is.

Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

 

[fdas2]

I don't trust the opinion of any man who hasn't seen Shakes the Clown.

Movie: Lost in Translation

TV: Eastbound and Down

Song: "American Pie"

Band: Coldplay

 

[Ignoramus]

Radiohead

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

Thought it was pretty great. Eye-opening and scary.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Metric (band)

I haven't heard a ton of their stuff but I have Synthetica and Fantasies on my Spotify playlist. Pretty solid for sure.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Movie: Lost in Translation

TV: Eastbound and Down

Song: "American Pie"

Band: Coldplay

Lost in Translation was pretty awesome. Not the most exciting movie but very well written, directed, and acted.

Easbound: I loved the first couple of seasons but then it just sort of lost steam for me. I think the characters had run their course(s) especially Kenny Powers.

American Pie: Too long, overplayed, and overrated.

Coldplay: Maybe not as horrible as a lot of people like to claim but mediocre for sure. I gave them a fair shot back about 2001 but was not impressed.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Radiohead

I know I should like them. I fit their target audience and demographic. I also like many of the bands that grouped with Radiohead (alternative, quirky, etc). But I just can't get into them. Not really sure why.

I will say that "Creep", even though the band and hardcore fans treat it like an ugly stepchild, is one of the best songs to come out of the early 90s.

Alone (TV show)

Never seen it. But some how I did stumble across a youtube video one of the guys made about the items he took with him. Pretty interesting.

 

[cstu]

Out now...until tomorrow AM. Going to watch "Straight Out of Compton"

You liked it, right?

 

[cstu]

The Big Bang Theory

I'd rather watch a 6 hour loop of Kevin James giving his dog a Cleveland Steamer than 2 minutes of BBT.

Other than being able to stomach more of BBT than you, we agree on everything.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

M. Night Shyamalan movies

The ones I've seen:

Sixth Sense: Very good. Doesn't matter if you know the spoiler or not.

Unbreakable: This movie pissed me off. I loved the premise: a movie about a superhero but "realistic". Then somehow everything just fell flat. Kudos for using Pixies in the soundtrack though.

Signs, The Village, Lady in the Water, The Happening: Garbage x 4.

Got maybe a little more than half way through and then had to get to bed. I'll finish it tonight.

[Jules Winnfield]

What about my post of the Red, White, and Blue?

These were the Three Colors films by Krzysztof Kieślowski

Sorry, I have not seen any of them.

I really like these three films especially Red. I hope you check them out

 

[Jules Winnfield]

TV Show: Sherlock

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Band: Television

I hate to admit that I haven't heard as much by them as I should considering they were pioneers. The songs I do know by them are good and more importantly very good considering the time period.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

TV Show: Sherlock

Great show. Benedirk Cumberbum nails it. Yet somehow I have not seen all of the latest season.

Spoiler

I did see the episode where Sherlock "comes back to life" or at least most of it. I keep meaning to catch up but just haven't

You shouldn't ask about this movie. My mother asked about this movie once...ONCE

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel who asked about Johnny Dangerously:

You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves.

This movie is 31 years old and I admit that if it came on the tele today, I would watch it and enjoy it
