Box Office Bomb: Episode 11

I agree with you as it stands right now: He's innocent until proven guilty. However, I perfectly understand why some people boycott movies because they don't agree with the views/deeds of one or more of the people involved in the movie. Some people boycott Mel Gibson movies, others boycott Roman Polański movies. I would never watch Ender's Game or any other adaptation of Orson Scott Card's work, and he's not even directly involved in the movie!

So it might be jumping the gun a bit on Singer, but in principle I have absolutely no problem with people boycotting a movie (or any other form of art) because of one or more people involved with the project. It's not up to me to care about the other actors, the writer(s) etc. if I do not want to give money to one specific person involved.

My problem with Hostel was that the first half is filmed like some low rent Eastern European softcore porn movie where nothing at all happens. There's not much build up in those scenes, it just feels like filler.

I really love these. Too bad about how Screened ended up. Loved that site so much, made me get way into movies.

@amyggen: as a person that watched Enders Game, let me assure you that you're not missing much.

Super interested to hear thoughts on The Wind Rises. I loved it to pieces, but both of the people I went with (who are as much Miyazaki fans as I am) found it overly slow and were basically put to sleep by it. I thought it was great in how it connected me with a guy in a profession I've never had any interest in by expressing his artistic desire to create.

I remember back when I used to visit Screened that I never felt the same way as Alex about anything, but man he's right. Lar von Trier's films are terrible. We did get Bjork singing with Peter Stormare in one of his movies though. (Although the version with Bjork & Thom Yorke is better.)

My favorite podcast on the site is back! HOORAAAAAAAAAY!

@humanity: Oh, I've heard. Loved that book growing up, but I'm not too sad about missing out on the movie!

I've never read the book but everything about the movie, including the story, was completely awful.

"Now I'm a space admiral and I go around in space trying to find a home for this alien egg - END"

Captain America 2 was amazing...best comics book/Marvel/super hero movie, in my opinion.

True Detective was awesome...I don't care what anyone says, I thought the ending was appropriate and awesome.

Edit: The Winter Soldier character is a ridiculous premise?

I don't think it was mentioned, but wasn't Peter Stormare's character in Constantine supposed to be Lucifier and not Satan?

As a non-religious person myself, I am pretty sure Lucifer and Satan are two different characters, but I'm pretty sure we can generalize both as HEAD DEVIL BAD DUDE FROM HELL.

Hey, this was pretty good! I wasn't expecting much but this is a Good Feature.

Great show, as always.

Satan talk and pedophiles was a weird twist, but the last 5 seconds were glorious and perfect.

Stopping halfway through to avoid crashes is a brilliant move, too. Inserting a Bombcast-like ad in that break with Rorie and Alex selling things would be wonderfully awkward (despite being a premium cast).

These are great, please keep doing them

The Counselor?? What an insane (read: terrible) film. Although that thing they killed Brad Pitt with still freaks me out when I think about it.

I'm so glad you guys haven't forgotten about this podcast.

@alex@rorie Definitely worth watching this:

MY GENTLEMAN OF SIMILAR TASTES.

Finally! Garage Band didn't destroy another episode of Behind the Screened Door Ver. 2.0. Been too long since I've heard Alex and Rorie wax about the world of movies.

WTF Screened is gone!? And with it my OKCupid profile for Rorie that was guaranteed to find him love.

Just want to mention Dave Grohl's portrayal of Satan in Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny.

And don't forget the first two Blade movies. I wouldn't rank them above The Avengers (2012) but they don't feel as broadly-appealing and calculated (as set-up for the next movie) as the solo Avengers movies. Trinity sucks though.

I liked End of Days for some reason.

Just wanted to make it known that I love these podcasts. I would super love getting a more regular installment of these. Use the good podcast room that everyone else seems to be using! Anyway, thanks Rorie and Alex for doing these!
