Episode 211 – The Crazy Nastyass Fat Guys

Kevin Carr — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:00:08 +0000

This Week: Kevin goes to the ends of the earth – or rather the other side of the earth – to find Simon Miraudo from QuickFlix.com.au as this week’s guest host. While neither one has seen any of the new movies for the week, that doesn’t stop them from talking about the phenomenon of Madea and Robert Pattinson’s smell-the-fart acting. Simon also surprises us with an advanced review of Thor. Then there’s some talk of 3D televisions, Randall’s nature shows and a Fat Guy Five about most anticipated summer (and Australian winter) movies.

Second Reel Ep. 11 – ‘Twilight’ for Dummies (and Fanboys)

Kevin Carr — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:52:36 +0000

On This Episode: For the past two years, a lot of people have been completely confused by all the Twilight hubbub. There’s intense love for the books and movies by the fans, and there’s been intense hate from many fanboys in the blogosphere. In order to bring balance and civility to the entire issue, Kevin has invited Twilight expert Jen Yamato from Movies.com and FearNet.com to help explain the entire phenomenon to everyone out there. Why is Edward so sexy? Is the series anti-feminist? Can Summit survive after Breaking Dawn? And what effect has the World Cup had on Twilight‘s box office? All these questions and more are answered in this very special episode of Fat Guys at the Movies: Second Reel.

Fat Guy 5: Five Movies to Avoid on Date Night

Kevin Carr — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 23:08:34 +0000

Steve Carell and Tina Fey have teamed up to deliver a great date night movie, appropriately called Date Night. And that got us Fat Guys thinking while this movie is great for a real date night, there are plenty of film out there that are not.

So, as a public service, we have compiled a list of five movies you really don’t want to take a date to… unless they’re into that sort of thing.

5. The Last House on the Left (1972 & 2009)

The original poster tells you to keep saying, “It’s only a movie… it’s only a movie… it’s only a movie…” But if you take a date to this grisly it-could-happen-to-you horror movie, you might be repeating, “It’s only a bad choice… it’s only a bad choice… it’s only a bad choice…” Hint: brutal rape scenes in movies generally result in an awkward drive home. (See also #1 below.)

4. He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)

Considered a non-love story, this movie was definitely marketed to the female audience, but it wasn’t marketed for the date night crowd. Think of it as the movie that all the ladies will go to with their girlfriends to bitch about the guys they just broke up with… or will break up with if you take them to it.

3. Brokeback Mountain (2005)

Yes, this was a groundbreaking film for many, but it just might send the wrong message if you bring your date who’s hot girl you’ve been secretly in love with for a while. She might end up considering you a “good friend” after this film, and you can spend the rest of your “relationship” getting late-night calls from her, using you as a shoulder to cry on when she breaks up with guys she actually is attracted to.

2. Twilight (2008)

But you say, “Chicks dig this movie.” Ah yes, they do. But chances are you might be trying to date a teenage girl, and that’s illegal in many places. Either that, or she’s looking for a 100-year-old vampire who can’t actually have sex with her. Either way, it’s an epic fail for you.

1. Irreversible (2002)

Just because the ladies seem to like cultured European cinema doesn’t mean this is going to be a good film for date night viewing. Some may say it’s the nine-minute rape scene in the middle of the movie. But think about this… if you survive that portion of the movie and your date is an epileptic, she just might go into a full-blown seizure at the end of the movie.

Fat Guy 5: Five Characters We Wish Were Killed

Kevin Carr — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:27:21 +0000

With the release this week of yet another Nicholas Sparks movie, we now have learned the true formula. Take a forbidden summer romance, throw in some upper-class/lower-class tension and nice picturesque shots of Savannah’s beaches, and you’re only missing one thing…

Like any good horror movie, a Nicholas Sparks movie would not be complete without someone dying.

And that got us thinking… if only every movie was written by Nicholas Sparks, who would we have liked to see bite it in other films. What follows is a fun, but hardly definitive, Fat Guy Five list!

5. Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker), The Fifth Element (1997)

“Korben… Korben… Korben… Korben! Korben! Korben! Korben!! Korben!! Korben!!! KorbenKorbenKorbenKorbenKorben!!! KORBEN! KORBEN!!!” Who didn’t want to kill this guy?

4. Jar Jar Binks, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)

Sure, this film was the first Star Wars movie in almost two decades. Sure, it was on the cutting edge of digital technology. But Jar Jar Binks couldn’t have been more annoying. He was the Short Round of this movie.

3. Short Round (Ke Huy Quan), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

And speaking of Short Round… I saw this movie when I was only 12, so I identified with a kid who followed Indiana Jones around like a sick puppy. But as an adult, I see him for what he really was… a cheap grab at the interest of a 12 year old.

2. Carmen Ibanez (Denise Richards), Starship Troopers (1997)

Even director Paul Verhoeven acknowledges that the decision to kill Dizzy (Dina Meyer) and keep Carmen alive was a bad idea in the long run. According to the commentary track of this film, comment cards from the test screenings said, “You killed the wrong girl!”

1. Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson), Remember Me (2010)
