Bad Movie Beatdown/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* I may be the only one who thinks so, but Film Brain's rant at the end of ''[[Seven Pounds]]'' deserves a spot on this list:

{{quote| "Now many people found this movie [[Glurge|touching]]. [[Tranquil Fury|I didn't.]] [[Berserk Button|It struck a nerve.]] It's bad enough that the film is severely boring because [[Foregone Conclusion|it's obvious what is going on.]] It's bad enough that [[Darkness Induced Audience Apathy|the movie is so morose and miserable.]] It's bad enough that it's [[True Art Is Angsty|pretentious tosh.]] It's bad enough that [[Will Smith]] himself is desperately [[Oscar Bait|Oscar Baiting]] by [[Tom Hanks Syndrome|dialing back his signature charm to trace levels]] and [[Wangst|acting as mopey as possible.]] No, my real issue is with the film's message. Tim's sacrifice at the end of the movie is celebrated and he's made a [[Martyr Without a Cause|martyr]]. I'm sorry, but I find that [[Unfortunate Implications|profoundly worrying]]. [[Warped Aesop|The movie is literally saying that suicide is okay as long as you donate your organs. What the]] ''[[Precision F-Strike|fuck]]'' [[Warped Aesop|kind of message is that?]]}}

** The opening deserves a mention too:

{{quote| Hello and welcome to Bad Movie Beatdown, the controversial episode. Yep, it's that time of the series again, where once again I show that I have an opinion of my own.}}

Line 8:

*** Specifying further, just ''admitting'' the personal nature of the review to his viewers took serious guts.

*** It was rewarded. The [[Internet Backdraft]] he expected didn't happen, and when they [[Kickassia|met in Reno]], Doug told him he'd not only [[So Proud of You|liked the review]] but changed his opinion of the movie!

* Given that he has a fraction of the budget and equipment, the ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]''-style opening credits for crossover review of ''[[The Spirit]]'' are really good.

* Given that he has a fraction of the budget and equipment, the ''[[Doctor Who]]''-style opening credits for crossover review of ''[[The Spirit]]'' are really good.

* "I think I'd better take that down." At the end of his ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' review, he tears down the ''Transformers'' poster that had been hanging on his wall from the very start.

* Pretty much highjacking into Spoony's review of the 2010 ''Tekken'' film, by declaring him a new challenger. And given the hate between the two characters, it makes it more awesome for Film Brain to one up Spoony.
