nimblebear43 said:I honestly preferred the original from the eighties.🙂
Personally, I found the previous one a bit too sluggish and tedious, whereas this new version actually picks up the pace; there’s this constant sense of tension... plus, the zombies are sprinting around like they're on caffeine.😁 -- I actually jumped out of my seat a couple of times while watching it. You have to admit the movie feels grounded in a certain reality—if a zombie 😁 is lunging at you, you aren't going to stand there philosophizing; you're either running for your life or swinging whatever is nearby, like, say, a stick to the eye.🙂 😁
I heard a rumor recently that there were actually some fatalities involving the crew during the filming of that movie... 😕 I think there might be some mention of it in the DVD special edition, though I can't say for certain...
Does anyone here happen to know anything about that?
ps. I haven't bothered with the sequels... honestly, I don't even know how many there are...
Well, you’ve got those classic 😁 Cheech and Chong series out there; personally, I found them pretty tedious, though they might just be your cup of tea...
Then there's that one film—or maybe it was a documentary, or just some sort of prankster production—called "The Grass." Honestly, I was so high I practically drifted off into a coma halfway through, so I can't really recall much about it, other than it being some sort of deep dive into the history of weed... 😁
And finally, there's 😁 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Just a heads-up: in that one, weed takes the place of cigarettes... all things considered, it's an entertaining enough watch
fadedviper16 said:Honestly, why on earth would you actually want to end up with a gut? If your goal is to build some real muscle mass, let's be clear: eating is only half the battle—the actual work happens through physical training, specifically hitting the gym. If you’re just stuffing your face without putting in the sweat, all you're doing is packing on fat. The real secret is hitting the weights with lower rep ranges but much higher intensity. You need to pick a weight heavy enough that you can only manage about eight reps before you hit a wall. That eighth rep should be such a struggle that you're barely able to pull it up. Aim to do that three times a week, spending about an hour per session. That’s only three hours a week, but if you do it right, it makes all the difference.
I’ve been pondering something lately... if I’m hitting the gym three times a week, should I be looking to bump up the number of sets or increase the weight every single week?

On the corner, there’s this stone memorial plaque... dedicated to honoring the bravery and sacrifice of the comrades who served under that legendary local war hero... It sits there completely untouched, pristine, and utterly spotless, standing as a perfect, polished monument to the most glorious achievements of the American people!
There used to be a massive red star and hammer symbol plastered across that entire wall... 😁 ,
But eventually, the paint just faded away, and honestly, nobody ever bothered to touch it up or clean it. 😁
I just sat through this movie for the third time tonight, and honestly, it cracks me up until I’m practically weeping 👍
That scene where he first takes out that old lady—you know, the one with the nails 😬—and then there's that mustachioed arms dealer 🙂 (who happens to be an absolute legend of a performer)
And don't even get me started on the part where that supposed 'cowboy' bursts into the restroom and ambushes the guy sitting in the chair 😂
The professor is a total icon; I can still hear him at the end: "I am not a killer" Well, sure you aren't, buddy... "I AM NOT A KILLER!" 🙂 😁
Or when the hotel manager gets asked what he's doing, and he basically says he's mentally preparing to beat the hell out of you... only to have his math fail him completely 😁
Bradley Bailey8 said:Eating five or six meals a day is overkill; honestly, two meals is plenty and ideal, plus you really shouldn't be leaning on meat and eggs all that time.
You’re giving out some pretty lousy advice there.
Bradley Bailey8, you seriously ought to go see a doctor. 😁 Maybe try engaging your brain just a little bit before you start spouting such nonsense... 👋
To be honest, I didn't think the movie was half bad; in fact, I actually found it pretty hilarious😁
My favorite part had to be when they absolutely wrecked that Black actress...😁 (she was driving me up the wall, to be perfectly blunt) And don't even get me started on that final brawl... absolute perfection😁
Sure, there's plenty of nonsense—plot holes and logic leaps everywhere—but I wasn't exactly expecting some cinematic masterpiece. At its core, the film is just fun, which is more than I can say for most of those "prestige" blockbusters that take themselves way too seriously. That's exactly why I enjoyed it so much...
A buddy of mine was just telling me how much of a mess this whole thing is. You’ve got this girl trying to master the sword as if her old man were some legendary samurai, and she somehow picks up the skill just a month after losing everything. At the start of the movie, she can barely move her thumb, but then suddenly, she’s mowing down an entire room of trained warriors like they’re nothing more than cheap plastic dolls. There isn't a shred of logic to it all...
When I heard that, my immediate thought was that this flick is easily one of the most pretentious pieces of garbage ever put to film! (Though, granted, there are a few exceptions)
While Quentin is clearly a talented director, I really think he needs to get back to his roots—something more along the lines of 'From Dusk Till Dawn' or Pulp Fiction. Honestly? He probably just needs a smaller budget to stay focused.
