After Melvin says he's sorry, she screams because he spoke to her.
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:32 AM
No, let Funny Face watch. She hasn't seen it.
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:32 AM
I am just wondering where our Captain is. He's probably all pissed off now.
Funny Face
05-10-15, 04:33 AM
What am I watching?!? :lol:
He probably never paused. I bet he's still just watching. Like a true sadist.

Wrong place, buddy.

Yep, I was right. Cap's still watching.
Pause the damn movie Cap!

I'm at Melvin standing by the pool, mop in hand, blonde Julie has her mouth open and she's screaming because he spoke to her.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:35 AM
I know I'm ahead, but HULU will make me watch commercials a few times during this viewing, so eventually I'll fall behind. It's better if I've got a little head start.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:35 AM
Okay, paused. I didn't realize everyone had stopped.
I'm at the same place as Sexy.

Kid on the bike...
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:37 AM
I'm going to the bike.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:37 AM
I paused at the part where they'll about to hit the kid on the bike because it's 28 points.
My friends and I play that game, too.
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:37 AM
OK, I'm at the bike scene.

He's just been hit here.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:39 AM
Now run him over again! DOUBLE TAP!

He's still alive. They're gonna run over him again.

They're taking pictures of his dead body.
Later, one of those girls is gonna masturbate to them.

You're not supposed to take photos. That's evidence.

Can't believe we dragged Miss Vicky's friend into a Toxic Avenger commentary.

They're dancing like crazy because the instructor's got a snake in his shirt.

BTW, Swan, in case you think about it, don't buy the Toxic Avenger II Blu-ray right now. It's been recalled. Wasn't made in 1080.

Did you know there was once a Toxic Avengers cartoon show on network television (Saturday mornings in the early 90's)?
Toxic Crusaders.
I had a toy from it back then and used to see it on TV.

Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:52 AM
I'm being forced to watch more ads again. It's been a long time since I've watched anything on Hulu. I remember the ads being like thirty seconds or less. These are like 90 seconds.

This movie is terrible...and I've seen the Human Centipede :lol:
It's true campy goodness. :)
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:56 AM
This movie stunned me when I did a commentary for it with Gunslinger45 because it was the first time I watched the Director's Cut, which is just... insane with the gore.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:56 AM
It's terrible in a good way, though.
One of the prime examples of "so bad, it's good."
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:57 AM
I first saw this as a little kid in the '80s, before I even started school. I had it on VHS.
Funny Face
05-10-15, 04:57 AM
Clearly! I'm still watching!

05-10-15, 04:57 AM
I ordered Toxic Avenger II when it premiered on '80s Pay-Per-View.
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:58 AM
But I never saw the third one until years later on USA Up All Night. Parts 2 and 3 were made back-to-back.
Have you ever met my mother-in-law? Now that's gruesome!
Sexy Celebrity
05-10-15, 04:58 AM
This fat mayor is dead now.

05-10-15, 04:59 AM
OK, the woman's going to the sauna to look at the pictures of the dead kid.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:59 AM
I've seen the second and third one. They're just so bad, they're bad.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 04:59 AM
By the way, I own The Human Centipede, so I would totally do a commentary for that.

There's going to be another sauna scene with the pictures. Where Toxie actually kills her.
I've never seen The Human Centipede. I have no interest.
It doesn't live up to the premise, in my opinion.

Right now I'm at him building a home for himself.

The blind woman first appears at the taco restaurant. It's coming up. Funny Face may not like it. An animal gets killed.

05-10-15, 05:02 AM
Elephant Man reference. I didn't get that the first time I watched this.

I know. It's fine if the people die, but don't kill the dog.

If this was a Chinese restaurant, they could just throw that dead dog on the grill.

See, this is an extremely violent movie, but unlike House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, it's not as serious.

If that actually was a Chinese restaurant in this movie, they would have put that dog on the grill. This is a Troma movie, afterall.

The 4th one is pretty good, too. It reminds me of this one, I think, more than parts 2 and 3.
Captain Spaulding
05-10-15, 05:16 AM
The scene that has stuck with me the most -- and I'm not sure if it's in this movie or one of the sequels -- is when Toxic Avenger is sitting on the crapper with his pants still on.

In the R rated version to this, you don't see the mayor's guts come out. It just looks like Toxie punched him in the stomach. Not killed him.

My version is around 1:50, don't you think that'll work fine?
Yeah, that should be fine I think.

What a gritty ass print I got myself here :p
I love these old school logos and stuff.
And as usual for a Tarantino movie, we kick off with awesome music. And feet.

This must be his longest shot of feet, right?
That poster over her reminds me of one of my favorite Adele pics.

You are not in doubt what kind of movies QT wanna make and pay homage to, already here during the opening credits!

We'll obviously rate the film in the end, but overall, how is your relationship with this film Swan?
I kind of wish the whole movie like this, I still don't know why Tarantino switched to more crystal clarity in the second half.

I kind of forgot that. That is a shame indeed.

I've always liked it, but I used to much prefer the second half to the first half. I think that's mainly because the chicks are more enjoyable in the second half. However, I think now I like them equally - they have different things going for them, different pros and cons. I think the exploitation homage style of the first half is better than the more tradition crystal clarity of the second half, for example. I haven't seen it in a lot time though, so I'm very glad to be checking it out again.
How about you?
I think this is the best of the "grindhouse homage" films, maybe, because Tarantino really knows his grindhouse cinema, so the style is emulated very well.

I feel the same way as you actually, in relation to the two half's, but it isn't all that long ago since I watched it and despite I agree the exploitation cinema homage in the first half is great and all, it still feels kind of like Tarantino on autopilot. Especially in terms of dialogue and such, though it's still clearly him and his style. But yeah, the second half is awesome! Though I have come to love or at least like the first half a lot, it is the second half that makes it all worth it! :D

Understandable critique, I don't think your wrong. I just really like the style of the first half, which ultimately make it about as worthwhile as the second half for me. I honestly think, though, the car chase is the highlight of the film. That's what makes it all worthwhile for me.

Exactly! And since you like exploitation cinema to greater extent than me, that could be why the first half works even better for you. But as I said, I like it a lot, I used to hate it but if you let yourself disappear into the period QT tries to recreate, it's great fun!
Wild hair flipping. That's great.
I forgot Eli Roth is in this.

How to plan a make-out session, step 1.
Tarantino is great. If we're talking about relationship with Tarantino's work in general, I'm a big fan. He could easy make my top ten directors. I have gone through quite a few phases where I obsessed over his history and his work. Same goes for PTA. The reason I don't talk about them much is because I always saw them more as peers than mentor-types (to a fault perhaps) and maybe because everyone else does the talking for me. Nonetheless, I love Tarantino. I don't know if you've read my thoughts on style, MovieMeds, but I freaking love style. I'm a big style guy. So obviously I'm going to like Tarantino.

I love all the small details and fun references to grindhouse cinema. As you said, Tarantino knows better than anybody how to make a movie like this!
I wish he would do it again some time...

Yeah, I would love to see Grindhouse 2.
