This movie needed more dog-shooting and t-rex chases, that's most of what I remember from Tomb Raider.

But there's no "shimmying to the side until there is room" sequence!

Edit: Pro editing once again, with the song.

Yea, yea, yea... but she is so hot...


Also, when is TANG Max Payne going to happen? I don't want to see it for fear of ruining any hope I have left, but totally want to see it get murdered at the hands of Ryan.

Also, this probably doesn't work since the game came after the movie, but how about a review of Carpenter's The Thing, just for the hell of it?

Yeah the Evan Brass song, that's right, i gave it some identity!

This film did feel like 1999 you're right Ryan. A little side-boob action that ain't bad, is also right Ryan.

Not enough Chris Barrie in this edition!

I'm just going to go ahead and take credit for replanting the Giant Bomb song into Vinny's brain. You're welcome.

I was wondering when the Giant Bomb song was going to crop up again. That thing should be the official end to the podcast, at least once in a while.

The funny part is that I sometimes listen to past podcasts as I drift off at night, so when the end of the episode with that song pops up, since the volume of it is definitely elevated from the rest of the podcast, it always wakes me up. I don't really mind, because the song is awesome. In fact, it'll inevitably get stuck in my head the rest of the night/day.

On a note more related to the actual video, the scary part about the Tomb Raider movie is that my mom actually likes it. I've yet to see the whole movie myself, but I'm sure I've probably seen the majority in bits and pieces because I've heard and seen it playing in the backround so much when I'm over there. Since I *really* dislike Angelina Jolie, I couldn't care less about her portrayal of Laura Croft.

This movie came out in 2001? I didn't think it was that old.

I remember that side boob. Back when I first saw it I remember that being my favorite part (of the movie and the woman).

I actually like that movie for cheesy cornball fun.   Strangely enough the girls like it too, so if you're looking for an action movie that you're girlfriend won't gripe about, here it is.

I love the GB thing in the end. You guys should do that for every movie. Throw in some GB reference from now on because you've done it with a couple already.
