Great review of The Shining, Gunslinger, it's also a favorite of mine. I consider it a top 2 scariest all time with The Exorcist. I was lucky enough to see it at the movies when it came out, or unlucky depending how you look at it-I was 9 years old! I don't like going to the cinema in general anymore, but that place sounds awesome-I'd be there every week. You should take pics next time before the show starts!
Hello fellow MoFos! It is once again time for another addition of At the Theater with The Gunslinger45! I remember the summer of 2012. It was one of the better summer movie seasons of recent memory. Some crap aside (Snow White and the Huntsman among others), there were some kick ass flicks released that year. The Avengers was released and set all kinds of box office records, Expendables 2 was awesome, Paranorman was pretty damn creative, Rock of Ages was a very surprising guilty pleasure, and the Dark Knight Rises was okay. But the other movie to stand out that summer was Ted. A movie where a teddy bear comes to life, grows up, and starts swearing and smoking lots of pot. And despite it being a Seth MacFarlene project (who is VERY hit and miss for me) I really loved that movie. Saw it multiple times in the theater with coworkers and friends. It had a unique premise, excellent jokes, perfect timing, a great cast, and was just a damn good time. So when I heard a sequel was in the works I got excited. Then I saw the trailer and was not excited. I mean you went from a story where a guy has to give up living with his teddy bear to take his relationship with his long time girlfriend to the next level to what is essentially a movie trying to draw parallels with gay marriage, slavery and the Civil Rights movement. Don’t take my word for it; the movie draws that ham fisted comparison on its own. Now as someone who supports the gays getting married, while the spirit of the movie is in the right place it makes me wonder if the foul mouthed teddy bear movie is the right venue for this message? I mean Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made political points in their shows and movies with crazier execution (Team America), but they have talent. And Seth MacFarlene is the poster child for mediocrity. So… how was this movie in relation to Ted? In short, it was funny, but far inferior to the original. The long version? Well grab your bong and grab a hit of a hilariously named strain of weed as we look at Ted 2.
So it has been about a year since the events of the first movie and Ted and Tammy Lyne have finally tied the knot. And after some shaky times, they realize they want to have a baby. Kinda hard to get man chowder from a teddy bear though, so they go the route of invetro-fertilization. But due to health issues, Tammy can’t get pregnant. So they try to adopt. Their adoption application is denied however since in the eyes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Ted is not considered a person. He is considered a teddy bear and is deemed property. As a result, Ted’s marriage is annulled, he loses his job and his bank account is shut down. Ted and John (Mark Wahlberg) now have to fight to get Ted’s civil rights back. They enlist the aid of a bright young attorney named Samantha Leslie Jackson (Amanda Seyfried) to take the issue to the Massachusetts Supreme Court. The rest of the movie deals with the Ted’s legal battles as well as a sub plot where the main antagonist from the first movie Donny returns to make an underhanded deal with Hasbro.
Okay let’s start with negatives. The premise of the movie is a giant plot hole. The movie states that Ted has flown under the radar and has gotten by without any issues since he was pretty much an unemployed celebrity figure for years. It was only when Ted applied to become a foster parent that someone decided he was not a person. So the issue is; why was this never an issue for him when he was getting a job? Last I checked in order get a job you have to supply some info proving citizenship, residency, and a Social Security Number. The man has been having money taken out of his checks for whatever state taxes are automatically deducted (so that I don’t pay taxes line is BS). But most notably why was Ted even allowed to get married? I mean a teddy bear and a model quality blonde step into the offices to register their marriage and whatever other paper work there is to get hitched and NO ONE noticed this? Now the film tries to say “it was an oversight” but it is really just lazy writing. Either that or MacFarlene is trying way too hard to tie this to gay marriage. And why the hell would the bank close his account? Pretty sure Chase is not going to care enough about someone’s personal legal battles unless that person is laundering money through the bank. Also they knew he was a bear walking when he opened the account, so what changed things? And why is Ted still a cashier? He got promoted to store manager. So many questions not answered. Another HUGE issue I had with this movie was what they did to John’s wife Lori. Mila Kunis was pregnant at the time of this film’s production. So either she could not or would not be in the film. So instead of writing Lori out of the film meta style by saying “she popped out a kid and went to Philly to visit he family” they instead say she and John got a divorce. I mean really? This is the second time this year the marriage of a previous film was ended by this lazy deus ex crappina. Not only is it resorting to Paul Blart 2 levels of writing, but it too also made the first movie kinda pointless. All that growing up Johnny did was for nothing. All so now they can make way for the new hot lawyer love interest in Sam. I mean was it that hard to get Mila to do either a quick cameo to let people know she and John are still together, even if it is literally a phoned in part? Was Sam really needed to be John’s new squeeze? Can’t she just be their lawyer? Then again maybe I am expecting too much from Seth MacFarlene. Also the humor is not as consistent as the first one which had perfect timing. This movie is more typical Seth MacFarlene. And by that I mean some jokes really work, while others really suck. Liam Neeson makes a pointless cameo, there is a running gag about candy being left out on lawyer’s desk that was dull, and Seth tries to be clever is some of his political satire but fails there as well. And then other jokes that were set up really well go on for way too long. There is a really funny scene concerning John’s computer and the degree and nature of his porn. The premise was great but Seth drags it on for way too long. Same goes for a running gag concerning Google and a certain member of the anatomy always showing up in searches. It was funny the first few times, but is brought up so many times it stopped being funny. There is also another REALLY well set up gag in one scene where Seth makes a damn good parody of a big reveal from a certain classic summer blockbuster (which may or may not have a sequel out this year). Right down to the reactions and the music. But then he kills the gag with one line that was a quote from the film, but it just did not make any sense at all in that context. Seth also does more then a few call back jokes from the first movie. Most of which do fall flat.
But that being said, there are still positives to the film. While this movie is not as consistently funny as the first one, over all it is still pretty funny. Even with some of the comedic fails and some of the horrible writing decisions, I still walked away overall amused. Some of the high points of the film’s comedy include when John and Ted try to get sperm for Tammy Lyne from Sam Jones, Tom Brady, and a fertility clinic; and Patrick Warburton’s return as Guy and his new boyfriend (played by Michael Dorn). But the best comedy comes from the banter and gags between Ted and John. A great deal of that is because of the great chemistry between Seth and Mark, and the fact that Mark Wahlberg is really freaking funny. Also despite Mila Kunis not being in the movie, Amanda Seyfried was a really good replacement. She had excellent timing, was very funny, and felt like she fit in with these two delinquent stoners. And while she and Mark are not lighting up the screen like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, they do have good chemistry together. There are also a few gags that do push the boundaries of what is acceptable, but they do work in the end.
Overall this was not a bad experience. I laughed, and really that is all that is needed from a comedy. But there are just too many elements to the film that are too bad to ignore. While I won’t say it is a bad movie it is hard to say this was a good movie or even recommend it. If you liked the first Ted I would say see it, but unless you are a diehard fan of the first movie, you can wait until this shows up on Red Box.
And why is Ted still a cashier? He got promoted to store manager. So many questions not answered. Another HUGE issue I had with this movie was what they did to John’s wife Lori. Mila Kunis was pregnant at the time of this film’s production. So either she could not or would not be in the film.

This is the second time this year the marriage of a previous film was ended by this lazy deus ex crappina.
Those were some huge problems for me, but I just went on with it because I didn't think of it to be serious. I thought most of the jokes were hit... Along with the Kardashian one and the Jay Leno one. TBH, I will probably get the Blu-Ray for this just because I loved the first so much and I might like this one more on re-watch.

What would you give the 1st film?
Yeah the Jay Leno bit was funny. Overall though I still had fun with Ted 2, but yeah there were too many glaring issues. Though the cashier bit I literally just caught while I was typing the review. I missed it in the movie.
The first Ted I give a to. It is a really strong and well written comedy.
Hello fellow MoFos! It is once again time for another edition of At the Theater with The Gunslinger45. I LOVE The Terminator movies! Or should I say Terminator, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Both are brilliant editions to the action movie golden age, and Terminator 2 is arguably the greatest action movie of all time. But as that era began to end, and Hollywood seemingly running out of ideas, the powers that be decided to take a third bite of the apple with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It was mediocre as hell. And Terminator Salvation, was simply s**t. So years go by until Arnold leaves the governorship of California, and he starts making movies again. And I am not cynical when it comes to an old Schwarzenegger in movies. I really liked The Last Stand, Sabotage was good for what it was, and I really enjoyed Escape Plan. But I was very worried to hear of a 5th Terminator movie, let alone one in PG-13. But I said to myself “Hey it has to be better then Terminator Salvation right?” Need I remind people I said a similar line when I was walking in to see Man of Steel. And we all know how that ended for me. And you know what? The results were pretty much the same here. I
HATED …
This movie! OH DID I HATE THIS MOVIE! Want to know how bad of a cluster **** this film is? We let’s find out and feel ALL OF MY HATE!
So the film opens up with Kyle Reese (played by not Michael Biehn, Jai Courtney). He exposits what we already know. War of the machines, John Conner is mankind’s last hope, etc. Well Kyle and John Connor (Jason Clark) storm a Skynet facility and discover the time machine that was used to send a very familiar T-800 back to 1984. John sends Kyle back to protect Sarah Conner; but before Kyle gets sent back John Connor gets attacked by Dr Who. No seriously, Matt Smith attacks John Conner. Anyway, Kyle gets sent back in time and shows up to protect Sarah Conner. But instead John is saved by Sarah (played by Daenerys Targaryen herself Emilia Clarke). To make things weirder she saves him from a T-1000, and we have two Arnold’s on screen. The CGI young Arnie (the original T-800), and Old Arnie (named Pops). Pops helps in killing CG Arnie and the Asian T-1000. Turns out Pops was sent back in time to protect Sarah Conner in 1973 from another Terminator that killed her parents. This T-800 has raised Sarah and trained her to kill cyborgs since she was 9. So the team plots that there is a way to destroy Skynet for good, but they have to travel to the future. And they can do so with a time machine built by Pops thanks to the new CPU he pulled out of CG Arnie. And they leap frog through time to the year 2017. Are you confused yet? Well it only gets worse. More on that in a bit.
Okay problem one is with some of the casting. Arnie is back? Cool, Arnie is in top form. Emilia Clarke as Sarah Conner? Awesome, I thought she did very well. Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese? Oh hell no! This guy does not sell me that he is Kyle Reese. Michael Biehn did that in the Terminator. Then again Michael Biehn is an awesome actor. I bought Michael was a hard ass soldier from the far future. I bought the relationship with him and Linda Hamilton. In this movie Jai comes off as kind of a p***y. Now he has the build, but not the mentality or intensity that Biehn brought. And Jai and Emilia share the on screen chemistry of Padme and Anakin Skywalker of the Star Wars prequels. I felt so empty by what the film tried to pass off as romance, that all I wanted to do was leave the theater and rewatch Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn share a tender moment together. And in a movie where we had to CG in a young Schwarzenegger, I was starting to wish they would CG in a young Michael Biehn. Or just get Mike back. That would have been cool too. It could have only helped the movie.
Second problem. This is the cinematic equivalent to the Terminator franchise of what the New 52 was to DC Comics. The continuity you knew and loved growing up? It is gone. Completely rewritten. The story of The Terminator and Terminator 2 are no more. They have ceased to be. They have passed on to meet their maker. Their a stiff! Bereft of life, they rest in peace. If they were any deadier they would be pushing up the daisies! They’ve drawn down the curtain and joined the f***ing choir invisible. THESE ARE EX… MOVIES! I mean I knew Hollywood were total whores for money and would sell their mothers to make a quick buck but dammit all the hell this is a new low! What was the point of making this new set of films? It sure as hell was not to build upon the old movies and if you were going to start from scratch fine. I would not be happy with it, but at least they would be starting their new continuity and I would have the movies I loved in a separate canon. But no… they had to screw around with that too.
Third problem? THIS MOVIE MAKES NO DAMN SENSE! I mean I know time travel movies have plot holes about what came first, but the really good ones can explain in good detail how the time travel rules worked and made the film easy to understand. This movie puts lots of BS techno and science babble into a blender and hit puree. And what we get is convoluted mess of a script. Point one: for a movie that is predicated on going to the past to save Sarah Conner in order to ensure John’s birth, they sure do abandon that plot element pretty damn quick. Kyle goes back to 1984 to save Sarah and unknowingly father John. Instead everyone decides to go into the future. WHY?!?!?!? You have all the time in the world to destroy Skynet AND you have a time machine! Ensure the safety of the greatest hope for humanity, THEN you can blow up the big scary computer program! Sarah knows that Kyle is the father of her kid (which raises even MORE issues) she knows John is going to be born and how important he is. So this entire plot point should cause a time paradox! You kinda need John to be BORN in order complete this new wacky and convoluted time loop. No John means no resistance, no resistance means no Kyle going back in time to birth John, and if you have Sarah leave 1984 with Kyle then she never gives birth to John, which means Kyle never goes back in time and…
What made the first two movies great was that the plot for each film could be narrowed down to a sentence. For The Terminator it was “protect Sarah Conner and destroy the Terminator.” For Terminator 2 it was “protect John Conner and bring down Skynet before it starts.” For this piece of crap it is “protect Sarah Conner, ensure John is born, but first we have to travel to the future, destroy Skynet 2: Electric Boogaloo, get Sarah to open up to Kyle and fall in love, talk to young Kyle so that he gives memories to old Kyle in a pseudo science time flux of lazy writing” and f*** it you see where I am going. This movie’s plot has ADD! And you know what kiddies… it only gets stupider. Because it is not the T-1000 in all the trailers that is the main Terminator threat. Ohhhhhh no… Because even through the convoluted script, bad chemistry, and poor attempts at humor… I did not hate this film. I did not hate this movie until we got to a certain point when the real villain of the movie was reveal. And it was…
Okay so apparently Skynet acts like the Borg now, and the attack on John in the future was actually Skynet assimilating John into itself with nanites or something. Either way he is now rebuilt on a cellular level to be a Terminator and loyal to Skynet.

Again… I ask WHY?!?!?!? Did the writers actually think this was clever? Who thought this idea was good? Were they on crack? Why would you do this?!!?!? I mean I know this is supposed to be a sequel / reboot deal, but you know what? Reboots are trying to tell the same story. When Batman Begins rebooted the Batman franchise, they told the same story, only with a few changes. Young Bruce still witnesses his parent’s deaths, still goes on to train across the globe, and becomes Batman. In Mad Max: Fury Road, Max is still Max, and he still kicks ass and drives like a stuntman. But the story is just told differently. Those stories kept to the same mold. This movie decided it did not want to follow that rational and assassinate its own mythos. Why? Because this script was written by monkeys! I am convinced that they have had 1 million monkeys at type writers since the early nineties typing away to try and write the perfect sequel to Terminator 2, got this script, and said “F*** it, this is good enough.” And there are other plot elements like how Pops becomes a T-1000, the PG-13 violence, no noticable practical effects, and how even though they say they destroyed Skynet before it even starts but you know that they have two more movies to go. So yeah F**K this movie!
As you can see this review has been a huge fanboy rant. Why? Because I love The Terminator. Terminator 2 has been among my favorite movies for decades! And this movie has to go and try to destroy it. Proving once again that certain franchises don’t need a reboot. We need to just leave certain movies alone, since they were already perfect to start. There are a few positives: a few cool call backs to the original films, Emilia and Arnie were cool, and some of the shots of them fighting the T-1000 was. But any positives that were in this movie were destroyed under the heavy weight of bad writing and fan boy rage. Avoid this film at all costs if you love The Terminator movies.
What I noticed when I instantly saw the trailer was the crappy CGI. Ugh. It's about the same as The Last Airbender, a film which made my eyes cringe, and then burn. Add that with finding out the whole time twisting nonsense and this review. You know I'm not seeing the new Arnie flick.

Isn't it sad when the CGI in a movie from 1992 is better then the CGI in a film from 2015?
Eh, I figure that it can be shrugged off as a divergent timeline like the one that the Star Trek reboot series is built upon. I definitely agree that Jai Courtney was horribly miscast - while Biehn definitely looked the part of a scrawny yet capable survivor, Courtney looks like a generic buzzcut-and-beefcake kind of action hero. As for the Big Twist - eh, I thought that was a genuinely interesting direction in which to take things.
Having John be assimilated by Skynet actually made for a fittingly tragic end to the character. Even in in the pre-Genisys canon it's established that he's terminated in 2032 by the same T-800 that later gets sent back to protect him in that film, which already opens up its own can of worms considering how the human resistance had supposedly won the war by 2029, unless of course it's in the timeline altered by Terminator 2, which would also explain why John himself was able to send back a T-800 for Terminator 2...anyway, I'm getting side-tracked here. The point is that having the man whose destiny it was to defeat the machines become one immediately after defeating said machines was at least an attempt to do something interesting to a character who had more or less reached the conclusion of his character's arc at the end of T3 and was thus relegated to being a somewhat generic team-leader hero in Salvation.
Hell, if people hate the changes in canon so much, they can always pull a Days of Future Past with any of the subsequent films and fans will like them for it.

Any film scholar or film geek will tell you that the world of the cinema changed in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Bonnie and Clyde flipped the script on what was acceptable to show on the big screen, Easy Rider showed that there was a market for these kinds of films, and the scene was cemented with the likes of The Godfather, American Graffiti, Jaws, and Taxi Driver by the Coppola’s, Spielberg’s, Lucas and Scorsese’s of that time. This was the time of New Hollywood. But even as New Hollywood grew, there was a smaller evolution in cinema growing in the tiny independent theaters. Starting in 1970, a crazed Argentinean named Alejandro Jodorowsky made a movie called El Topo. And nobody knew how to sell the movie. Long story short; the film ended up at the Elgin Theater for a midnight screening. And the film sold out. Every single night! This started a new brand of movies. The Midnight Movie, a step off the mainstream beaten path into a new realm of unique visions and artistic expressions. Many more such films would follow. John Waters would gain cult status with Pink Flamingos, Night of the Living Dead scared audiences with zombies, and David Lynch would mind **** the midnight scene with Eraserhead. But the most successful and popular of these films is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Based off the play, it is a musical tribute to B movie science fiction and horror movies. A film so popular that this movie has stayed in the theaters for forty years! It is not playing at the big theaters mind you, but look at the show times for smaller indie theaters and you will eventually find a showing. What sets this film apart from the other midnight movies is its rabid fan base and it’s very interactive theatrical experience. So how was this film in the theater? Well come up to the lab, and see what’s on the slab! As we examine The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows the journey of Brad Majors and his new fiancé Janet Weiss. They leave the small town of Denton (which is just northwest of me), to see their old teacher Dr Scott when their car blows a tire. They make their way through the rain to a nearby castle owned by Dr Frank-N-Furter; a mad scientist and sweet transvestite from the Planet Transsexual in the Transylvania galaxy. Aided by his assistant’s Riff Raff, Columbia, and Magenta; Frank wishes to create for himself a new plaything in the form of the (mostly) mute Rocky Horror. A creature made in the style of Frankenstein but with the looks closer to Charles Atlas. What follows is easily the craziest night of Brad and Janet’s lives. Mad science, seduction, murder, cross dressing, dancing to the Time Warp, Meat Loaf, and one hell of a closing musical number! All the while having quite a few references to classic horror and sci-fi films. Hell half the props and sets are from of old Hammer Horror movies!
Now I have loved The Rocky Horror Picture Show for years, but this was actually my first time seeing the film in the theater, which made for a very special movie going experience. This was new territory. Uncharted waters. Fear and Loathing… I saw this at The Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson, a theater usually known for its strict no talking policy. Well they threw that right out for this film man! I knew this theater going experience was going to be different when I got to my seat. There was a red goodie bag full of props. Inside was one filled up water pistol, one lipped shape whistle, one playing card, one container of bubbles and bubble wand, a party hat, a party popper full of confetti, a piece of toast, and the page of a magazine. Now I was familiar with the antics of the Rocky Horror crowd coming in. How certain lines will be screamed at the screen at certain times like a Catholic answers the Father at mass. But I was ignorant of what the props were to be used for. Sure I know that props were used, but I knew not what they would be used for. Lucky me there was a set of instructions. The first set of props used was the water pistol. The whole audience fired streams of water up in the air when Brad and Janet exited the car in a rain storm. This led to me quickly learning what the magazine pages were for. And unlike every other movie going experience, during the song “There’s a Light” cell phones with their flashlights on were taken out and waved like lighters at a rock concert. The rest of the movie involved the popping of said confetti, playing cards and toast were eventually tossed in the air, bubbles were blown, whistles are blown and the hats were worn when Rocky had his birthday. Each timed to a specific scene and appropriate time.
In addition to the props were the audience responses. This is the only social setting I know not involving a Kardashian or Paris Hilton where it is perfectly okay to scream at the top of your lungs repeatedly that a woman is a sl*t. This is what the audience did whenever Janet’s full name is stated. Brad gets a similar treatment, only he is referred to as an a$$hole. But they were not the only ones to feel the verbal abuse of the Rock Horror fan base. The Criminologist and narrator was repeatedly mocked for not having a neck. Not to mention there were many lines shouted during the pauses in his lines. In one instance of the Criminologist’s monologue right before his line, the audience on cue asks if he was into bestiality. The question was akin to “Do you like to **** donkeys?” His response of “I do” was most humorous. Or the time we all screamed “baiting” right after Riff Raff said “Master.” This is not a family friendly sing along. If a mother and her son were to accidentally stumble into this theater hoping to see In & Out, they would be horrified of what they saw. Grown men and women, some in costume, yelling profanity at the screen while dancing in the aisles and in the front of the theater; I can only wonder the damage such a sight would cause their poor fragile minds. I mean it is not often a child sees a cross dressing Tim Curry going down on Barry Bostwick saying “Coming” while the audience yells “So is Brad!” Needless to say the poor little booger eater would not be able to handle it. Thankfully for their sake this was a 10:20 pm showing. Kiddies are tucked away so the adults can play.
In all seriousness this was a fantastic theater experience. The songs are fantastic, the dance sequences are superb, and Brad and Janet are delightfully stiff foils to outrageous Tim Curry. Tim gives it his all as he puts every ounce of his over the top acting into the role of the decadent and hedonistic Dr Frank-N-Furter. I can see why this has never left the theater. It is one big party. Every showing is the potential for something different. Every new show a new crowd and new possibilities. And to top it off you are sharing this communal experience by watching a great movie! As I have said, my favorite animated musicals are Disney movies and South Park. But The Rocky Horror Picture Show is… my favorite musical of all time. Yes Miss Vicky, I like it even more then Frozen. To enjoy the film at home is great, but the real way to see this film is at the theater. You won’t get this experience at home watching it on Netflix. So get out to the theater and pop your Rocky Horror cherries. The Avengers may be the movie I have seen in the theater the most right now… but give it a year or two and that is certainly going to change. I will see this movie in the theater again and again for a long time coming.

Loved the review of the experience, GS.
This section makes me think you've not seen the original Fame before. Have you?
