They certainly are! I will not say what we used to call them.

Better yet: Lying in bed watching it on a TV set, with opportunities to - ahem - do other things.

You'd be lucky to find one anymore.  I love the one in Beaufort, SC -- it's a double feature.  The last time I was down there (2009), I saw Star Trek and Transformers 2.  The year before when I was there, I saw Hancock and Get Smart.

Mrs E and I saw Red 2 on Satiddy night -- late, after all the zombie-watching kids had tottered off to whatever mayhem they normally do at 10 PM or later.

It's so outrageously ridiculous that it's funny as hell. Malkovich tells Willis in the first scene (at a Costco, no less) that he hasn't killed anybody in MONTHS so it's really quite necessary for Willis to get back in the "game."

Mary-Louise Parker is hysterically funny and Helen Mirren is the bitch you really don't want to piss off.  :rotf:   :lmao:

It's worth seeing, just for the mindless entertainment value and tongue-in-cheek gibes toward the intel community.

There's a chain gun/mini-gun scene that'll have you creaming your jeans.  :drool:

Just saw it and had a blast. I did recognize the airfield they used at the end of the film. I saw the white cargo 747 and the C-47 with invasion stripes and realized they were shooting at Dunsfold Aerodrome in the UK. That airfield is where the Top Gear UK studio is and the track where they test the cars they feature on the show. You can see the studio buildings in the background in a couple of the scenes.

Last night I watched Movie 43 on netflix.  I would recommend it, though with a few caveats.  If you liked There's Something About Mary, the Airplane movies, and Kentucky Fried Movie, you might like Movie 43.  It's very raunchy, not so much because of nudity--although there is some--but it is pretty vulgar.  If you've seen There's Something About Mary that will give you some idea of what I'm talking about.  The skits are hit and miss, but some are really funny.  But the thing about the movie that really surprised me was that there are a lot of really big name Hollywood stars in it doing very lowbrow humor--a lot of them aren't really known for doing comedy at all (Kate Winslet, Halle Berry, Live Schreiber, and Richard Gere to name a few).   But there is one skit in particular where Gerard Butler plays a leprechaun that had me laughing so hard that tears were running down my face.  I was laughing so hard that I was genuinely concerned that there was a possibility that I would die laughing--it struck me  as that funny.

But one final warning:

Released on January 25, 2013, Movie 43 has been widely panned by critics, with Richard Roeper calling it "the Citizen Kane of awful".

Saw Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips last Friday.

No Oscar nomination for him in this one. A rather contrived New England accent and the end scene with him in the Navy vessel's sick bay just didn't pass the smell test.

The Navy Chief Corpsman, on the other hand, was a bit of a hottie. And real. They casted her, so what she said and how she said it was real.

Phillips is alleged to have been a bit of an asshole, rude and brusque to his crew. It seemed as though Hanks was always telling his crew to "Enjoy your coffee and get to work" while they're sitting around on their asses.

On the whole, if you can separate Hanks' politics from this film -- he did not direct it and he did not produce it (Kevin Spacey was executive producer) -- it's worth a few bucks to see it.

Hollyweird always takes "creative license" with its movies. Probably not sour grapes at all -- has the ring of truth to it. A ship's captain who allows himself to be portrayed in the most positive light and does not put his crew up there front and center to take the credit isn't much of a leader.

I was on here a few months ago bragging about how good the movie Olympus Has Fallen is and later saying how much better it was than the other White House under attack movie White House Down.

I was looking for something to watch on Netflix tonight when I noticed that Olympus Has Fallen is now available for live streaming.

I give it two thumbs up.  It won't cost you anything to watch it if you're already paying for Netflix anyway.
