Movie Moan - Some Logic to Jamie's Bullshit
Sun, August 30, 2009 
That's it, ladies and germs. The 2009 Summer Movie Season is officially over with this weekend's releases of Final Destination 4 and Halloween II. Phil, Ed and Jamie reflect on the past four months worth of films and compare their initial predictions back in April to what ultimately went down.
They were right on some items (Transformers and Potter sequels easily owned), off on others (Jamie calling Land of the Lost one of Will Ferrell's biggest hits? Ouch!) and some genuine "Who saw that coming?!?" (The Hangover's $420 million box-office!) In between is our heroes usual off-topic bullshit discussions including just how many films have been shot near Ed's home (but yet he didn't appear on screen), Jamie does his Harold Ramis impression and Phil's hope of hopes that HellBoy III will some day get made.
All of that plus why seeing a non-Pixar animated film by yourself is socially-unacceptable, revisionist history with just how many good movies Heath Ledger was in, why Oliver Stone's W would have been better as a Muppet movie and just how modern-day Nazis are offended by their depiction in Inglorious Basterds.

The was one hilarious intro to the show, Phil. The last 20 minutes of Transformers 2 were just boring. As for the best film I saw this summer....well, I only cared to see Transformers 2, and T4....so I would choose T4 over Transformers 2. I have to agree with regarding Hellbody 3. I loved the first two, but I don't think it will be any good. I think it will go the same road as Terminator 3. You wait for it to be made, and it turns out to be complete shit.
Thank you Matt; I'm just being the optimist here on a Hellboy 3. I want to see it and until I actually read a quote from Del Toro saying it isn't happening, I will continue to hope for one.
