Barsoom, Helium, Zodanga, Tharks, Jeddak, Dejah, Therns & JOHN CARTER

…AND THE MARTIANS (OR BARSOOMIANS) CALL HIM VIRGINIA?

First impressions don’t always determine your overall opinion of a movie.  Some movies deliver above and beyond your expectations even if they’re impossibly low.  Even though John Carter is a solid movie, it didn’t really exceed my low expectations.

First and foremost, John Carter is a light and fun movie with a lot of cool battles, visual effects and scattered laughs.  It’s not a horrible movie.  There are more than a few entertaining moments.  But it’s one of those movies that a lot of people will be on the fence about.  It’s never a good sign when the trailers aren’t mind blowing causing people to wonder if it’s worth a shot.  I try to give films a shot regardless of the hype they build (or fail to build).  So I caught John Carter on opening night because I love big blockbuster adventures.  It was a 9:55 showing and there was about 35-40 people in the theater… Yuck.

Here’s the thing, when you watch a Science Fiction movie based in a new world, there are always words and names that you must learn.  Discovering a new world is a big part of why movies like John Carter are made.  People like to visit alien worlds and become immersed in places they’ve never seen.

Mars, or Barsoom as the locals call it, is definitely like nothing you’ve ever seen on the big screen but holy crap it was difficult to follow at first.  The prologue attempts to give the audience a brief history of the conflict on the red planet but it’s overkill in terms of names, locations and terms you have to remember.

Once John Carter arrives on Mars it gets a little worse.  Many names sounded the same to me and I couldn’t really remember them all until they were repeated several dozen times.  As the movie ended, I asked my friend if he could name 5 characters not named John…  Didn’t happen.

However, John Carter seemed to pick things up pretty quickly though.  Although all he had to do was drink some water…  Maybe it’s just different for people who didn’t read the books.

Tharks, Therns, Tars Tarkis, Tardos, Tal, Thoris, Than…

Those are just a few of the ‘Ts’.  Say that 5 times fast and then try to remember which one is which.

I’m willing to concede that going in, I had no clue what the story was.  A part of that has to do with the marketing campaign.   For example, You get a sense that Therns are bad but they don’t really give you a lot of information in the actual movie, let alone the trailers.  So these guys drain the life out of inhabited worlds through manipulation and control?  Did I get that right?  How does that translate into energy?  I hear the water is pretty magical.

It’s a little strange that these all knowing beings who believe themselves to be immortal don’t seem to be aware that they can be shot.  These are minor gripes but it adds up.

Trying to get into this world was hard for me.  I kept snapping out of it.  Before the end, I was simply waiting for the next action sequence which is most definitely the strongest element in John Carter.  The action is pretty fantastic with a variety of different fights and battles.

There is an awesome scene when our gravity defying hero goes bananas on an army of Tharks. (The multi limbed green folk with tusks)  While he fights, the intensity is ramped up as he thinks about the loss of his wife.  It fuels each and every swing of his sword. It’s really great stuff.

Woola | John Carter 2012 Movie Review

My favorite part of the movie was John’s speedy and loyal ‘dog’ Woola.  What a great character.  I laughed every time that creature was on screen.

Here he is, ready to take on all comers.

Let’s do this!  I’ve got your back John!

Woola Dog JOHN CARTER | John Carter 2012 Movie Review

At the end of the day, there were many things I liked about John Carter but not enough to add up to a truly memorable experience.  If you’re on the fence about seeing the film in theaters my advice is to wait and rent the film On Demand in a few months.  I suppose fans of the series will line up but early box office doesn’t indicate they did which is unfortunate.

Let’s hope the film has legs.

It should be pretty apparent that I highly enjoyed Dumb & Dumber.  Here are so more posts I’ve done over the last few years:

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT?

I’ve counted down the top 100 Quotes but there are so many more classic moments.  What about Lloyd’s hilarious ‘I’m about to throw up’ expression when he sees Harry and Mary together?  How about The Burp?  I still laugh watching Lloyd ‘run’ at an incredible rate or twirling pepperette nunchuks.

“Well if that guy over there is Sea Bass…”  An awesome scheme to avenge a mucus covered burger.

So many moments but, for me, the funniest moment in the film is… The Snowball.

THE REAL DUMB & DUMBER 2?

When they announced the awful prequel many groaned.  How could anyone possibly recapture the magic of Dumb and Dumber without Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels.  (Or the Farrelly Brothers for that matter.)

I’ll be the first to admit that they definitely found two capable actors to play Harry and Lloyd.  The film didn’t really stand a chance and bombed across the board.

Lately, there have been quiet rumors that the real Dumb & Dumber 2 could be on the way.  Jim Carrey weighed in a while back:

“We’re talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about. There’s ‘Bruce Almighty,’ and we’re talking about maybe another ‘Dumb and Dumber.” Deadline

Nothing has been officially announced yet but who knows.  Will we see what Harry and Lloyd are up to 20 years later?  (Will I Got Worms be a successful franchise?) Arguments can be made that even Jim & Jeff may not recapture the chemistry they created in the original.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

Check out these links to sequel news:

The Top 100 Dumb & Dumber Quotes Part 3: The Tribute | Best Comedy Dumb & Dumber

WE LOVE HARRY & LLOYD

Some people just don’t get Dumb & Dumber and I understand that.  If you don’t laugh within 5 minutes odds are the humor isn’t for you.  I was 11 years old in 1994 when the film was released.  For nearly 20 years, I’ve adored the film and all the laughs it’s given me.  20 years!

I don’t know if we will every see Jim Carrey with a chipped tooth and a bowl cut again.  We may never see Jeff Daniels cruising in the Shaggin’ Wagon II.  We may never find out where they ended up after they let that model filled tour bus drive away…

We may never see those spectacular suits again.

No matter what happens, the original is an absolute classic.  100 Quotes and a million laughs later…

The Top 100 Dumb & Dumber Quotes Part 1 | Best Dumb & Dumber Quotes | 100-31

THE GENIUS OF LLOYD CHRISTMAS AND HARRY DUNNE

THANK YOU FARRELLY BROTHERS, JIM CARREY & JEFF DANIELS!

Dumb and Dumber is arguably the most quotable comedy of all time.  Everyone quotes lines that make them laugh.  In my generation, or at least within my circle of friends, the champ is Dumb & Dumber.

While I was gathering material for this post, I realized that every one of my friends adore different lines from the film.  What started as a top 10 quickly became a top 50.  How could I possibly leave certain lines out?  In the end, over 100 lines were ready to be ranked.  A simple idea for a top 10 post became an enormous list of virtually every line of dialogue in the film.  I may have done the leg work creating a list but it’s essentially become a tribute that any Dumb and Dumber fan would love.  I had a blast creating this series.

What’s your favorite Dumb & Dumber quote?

In part 1 of this series, I rank #100 all the way to #31.  Part 2 will complete the Top 100 and Part 3 will focus on the lines that didn’t make the cut (believe it or not), links, sequel news and more…

Click here for Part 2: The Top 30
Click here for Part 3: The Tribute

So let’s get to it.  The top 100 Dumb & Dumber quotes.

#100-31

100-Harry: OK gang, you know the rules, no humping, no licking, no sniffing hineys.

99-Lloyd: How about you go over and introduce yourself, build me up, that way I don’t have to brag about myself later.

98-Lloyd: Harry, you’re alive… and you’re a horrible shot!

97-Lloyd: Life is a fragile thing, Har. One minute you’re chewin’ on a burger, the next minute you’re dead meat.
Harry: But he blamed me. You heard him. Those were his last words.
Lloyd: Not if you count the gurgling sound.

Harry: So you got fired again, eh?
96-Lloyd: Oh yeah. They always freak out when you leave the scene of an accident.
Harry: Yeah, well, I lost my job too.
95-Lloyd: Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense.
Harry: No, none taken. You know what really chaps my ass though? I spent my life savings turning my van into a dog. The alarm alone cost me two hundred.
94-Lloyd: Hey, chicks love it. It’s a shaggin’ wagon.

93-Lloyd: You just earned your seat at the head table.  And we already got the tuxes.

92-Lloyd: There you go… There you go… There you go…

Harry: Why would she have you meet her in a bar at ten in the morning?
91-Lloyd: I just figured she was a raging alcoholic.

90-Lloyd: All this time I’ve been going through such pain and personal ANGUISH… SUCH HELL, for NOTHING!

Harry: I can’t believe we drove around all day, and there’s not a single job in this town. There is nothing, nada, zip!
89-Lloyd: Yeah! Unless you wanna work forty hours a week.

88-Harry: Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don’t know, I wasn’t really paying attention.

87-Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry? We’ve gotta get out of this town!
Harry: Oh yeah, and go where? Where are we gonna go?
86-Lloyd: I’ll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.
the Harry: Oh, I don’t know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.

85-Lloyd: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the medical school? I’m supposed to be giving a lecture in 20 minutes, and my driver’s a bit lost.

84-Lloyd: I swallowed a big June bug when we were driving. I’m not really hungry.

83-Lloyd: Suck me sideways!

Lloyd: So where are you headin’?
Mary: Aspen.
82-Lloyd: Hmmm, California! Beautiful!

81-Lloyd: Out with the bad, in with the good!
80-Lloyd: He’s resisting me!

79-Harry: Now we don’t have enough money to get to Aspen, we don’t have enough money to get home, we don’t have enough money to eat, we don’t have enough money to sleep!
78-Lloyd: Well, it’s not gonna do us any good sitting here whining about it.

77-Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me… ending up together?

76-Lloyd: I’ll bet you twenty bucks I can get you gambling before the end of the day!
Harry: No way!
Lloyd: I’ll give you three to one odds.
Harry: No.
Lloyd: Five to one.
Harry: No.
Lloyd: Ten to one?
Harry: You’re on!
Lloyd: I’m gonna get ya!
Harry: Nuh uh!
Lloyd: I don’t know how, but I’m gonna get ya.

75-Lloyd: Hey guys. Woah, Big Gulps, huh? All right! Well, see ya later.

74-Harry: That was genius, Lloyd, sheer genius. I mean where did you come up with a scam like that?
Lloyd: Saw it in a movie once.
Harry: That’s incredible! So what happened, so the guy tricks some sucker into picking up his tab and gets away with it scott free?
73-Lloyd: No, in the movie, they catch up to him half mile down the road and slit his throat! Hahaha! It was a good one.

72-Lloyd: You spilled the salt, that’s what’s the matter! Spilling the salt is very bad luck! We’re driving across the country, the last thing we need is bad luck. Quick, toss some salt over your right shoulder.
71-Sea Bass: What the hell? Who’s the dead man that hit me with the salt shaker?

70-State Trooper: Give me that booze you pumpkin pie haircutted freak!

Harry: Look at the butt on that…
69-Lloyd: Yeah, he must work out.

61-Lloyd: I got worms!
Mary: I beg your pardon?
Lloyd: That’s what we’re gonna call it. “I Got Worms!” We’re gonna specialize in selling worm farms.

60-Lloyd: All we need to do is show a little class, a little sophistication, and we’re in like a dirty shirt.
59-Harry: No problem, Lloyd. We can be classy and sophistic-Oh check out the funbags on that hose-hound.
58-Lloyd: I’d like to eat her liver with some fava beans and a nice bottle of Chianti.

54-Lloyd: I traded the van for it straight up.

53-Lloyd: Pills are goooood. Pills are goooood!

52-Lloyd: Man, I would have to be a real lowlife to go rooting around in someone else’s private property.

50-Lloyd: Goodbye my loooooooooove!

49-Lloyd: I said, “Do you love me?” and she said, “No, but that’s a really nice ski mask.”

48-Lloyd: Hey, I guess they’re right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me!

47-Lloyd: You really wimped out, man.

46-Lloyd: The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old fashioned romantic feeling where I’d do anything to bone her.
Harry: That’s a special feeling, Lloyd.

45-Harry: FOR GOD’S SAKE! JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN NUMBER!

44-Harry: Foot long! Who’s got the foot long?

41-Harry: How’s your burger?

40-Lloyd: Mary… I desperately wanna make love to a school boy.

Beth: So I told myself. Beth you just got to run girl and oh you know what that clutz did next?
37-Lloyd: No and I DON’T CARE!
36-Lloyd: BarTENDER…

35-Lloyd: Tell her I’m rich, and I’m good looking, and I have, uh, a rapist’s wit.

Bikini Girl: Hi guys. We’re going on a national bikini tour, and we’re looking for two oil boys who can grease us off before each competition.
34-Harry: You are in luck! There’s a town about three miles that way. I’m sure you’ll find a couple guys there.
Bikini Girl: Okay, thanks.

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

DEAR MARVEL…  I LOVE YOU.  THAT IS ALL.

I was convinced 5 years ago that this movie would be amazing…  It’s been a long wait and this trailer just made the remaining two months excruciatingly painful.  It’s a glorious 2:30 look at the massive film.  When it comes to breaking it down, where do you start?  The action?  The story?  The team?  The effects? The ‘as yet unnamed but don’t call them Skrulls’ villains?

I decided to take a crack at it and came up with my top 5 moments from the new Avengers trailer.

XTRA | Check out all the past trailers and more coverage on The Avengers Movie Rundown.

#5 The Massive Destruction

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

I’m so happy this sequence takes place during the day.  You get to see the full scope of the Loki inspired Alien invasion.  When The Avengers was first announced all I could think about was the stakes.  What evil would cause the assembling of so many powerful heroes?  Formidable foe(s)? I’d say this shot answers many of those questions.

#4 The Hulk Crumbles Building Inside & Out

The Top 5 moments in the avengers new trailer | The Avengers trailer 2

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

Tie.  Couldn’t decide which one wins as they are both equally amazing.

#3 Iron Man vs Thor vs Captain America

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

I’m really curious to find out what leads to this gigantic 3 way brawl.  It’s unclear whether Cap and Stark go at it but I think it’s safe to say this sequence will be sweet.

#2 The Avengers Assemble

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

Hulk roars as the team gears up for one hell of a fight.  We saw this moment in the previous trailer but who cares it’s The Avengers!

#1 That’s One Hell of a Party!

Top 5 Moments From THE AVENGERS New Trailer | The Avengers Trailer 2 2012

No words.  Just awesome.
