    Jesus....

    Was that Helen Hunt BTW? I’ll bet this film is more entertaining than that god awful sitcom she was in.

    I lost all respect for Mel Gibson in that movie with her where he could hear women’s thoughts. Did he utilise this gift to manipulate chicks and smash more box than Wilt Chamberlain ????? No, he spent his time “understanding” Helen Hunts character. What a softcock.

    Didn't he do that film after his troubles? Tried to rehabilitate his image. And failed

    I think there was a remake of that film but with a chick. No doubt it’s absolutely terrible. But tbf I can’t see how you can make an honest film about what guys are thinking 99% of the time without it being a porno.

    Another film that disappoints on the massive potential to smash Wilt level poontang is Ricky Gervais’ The Invention of Lying. He’s the only person in the world who can lie or who doesn’t take everything literally. Think about the possibilities....
    But no, Ricky gets all moral and ethical about it.

    Exactly. Blokes CANNOT meet any attractive woman without thinking ( even in passing ) what it would be like to root them.

    Hell I often can't go past an average woman without checking them out briefly. There's got to be at least one part that is worth a look

    To think people got paid for that.

    ... and.... 6 more of them, apparently.
    This, the original, is available on youtube in its entirety, and was good enough to start a franchise.

    Holy shit, your best post ever. I’ll even choose to forget you having a go at my memes cos of this. Being free online appeals to my Scots heritage like you wouldn’t believe.

    Fuck you all, I don’t care what you think, I’m watching the whole thing.

    His career is not going strong:

    Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Navy_Seals_vs._Zombies

    And.... there's my Wednesday evening sorted.

    Well... that was quite good.
    Navy Seals vs Zombies....
    There's some scene-defining, and then some sort of ruckus, and then some Navy Seals go in to kick ass and rescue the Vice-President, and there's some suspense-building, and then... HOLY SHIT - after all that suspense-building... it's ZOMBIES!

    And, overall, pretty much every B-grade movie box ticked.

    • Protagonist with pregnant wife (instant heightened emotional stakes!)
    • Vice-President in danger (it's always the VP in these... it makes the sub-standard security slightly more believable)
    • terrible, terrible green-screen shot (mostly in the choice - why green-screen people free-falling, but then not include a more easily faked scene of parachutists landing?)
    • Navy-fucking-Seals (for 1 mission, plus another in flash-back, involving zero water at all)
    • flesh-eating-fucking-ZOMBIES, but of course it's probably actually a virus or a biological agent - 'cause we want our B-grade movies to be believable
    • fat-guy-comic-relief
    • and some spectacularly bad explosion effects. Like... Robot-Chicken bad, probably worse.

    Overall - well, it's 4 muthafukking Navy Seals out of 5 easy-villians Zombies.

    It’s proof that my post about Trancers was bullshit.

    This movie makes Trancers look like the first two Terminator movies. Incredible.

    Is that the one where he turns up to kick ass and chew bubble gum and he’s all out of bubble gum ?

    Robbed at the Oscars I tell you.

    Page Eight. A downbeat and understated spy drama made for TV film. There are two sequels which I've yet to watch. Stars Bill Nighy and Rachel Weisz. No explosions or gun play and sadly no tits but a well thought out and written film with some very good performances from the leads and most of the supporting cast.

    Bill Nighy plays an ageing lothario very well.

    4 slightly sleazy old spies out of four naive hotties.

    This thread has clearly descended into talking about Z grade flicks from the 80s/90s. Can you please stop hijacking it ? Cheers.

    SEALS = Sea Air and Land. No requirement for water at all.
