I'm growing a bit concerned about Hudson's detachment from this thread.


Maybe that means he's already seen the movie and is working on his own review. Either that or he knows the Hillenbrand Brothers and is trying to maintain impartiality by not gushing about how much he loved the movie.
 
Okay, so I added a few titles to my Netflix queue this morning ("Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon" and the Power Rangers movie recommended by Barry), and what do I find…

So, it looks like I'll have to wait a bit before I can soak up all the Hillenbrand goodness. Damn.
 
Here's today's "Transylmania" review-snippet-o'-the-day, courtesy of the Onion A.V. Club…

"Transylmania is such a colossal comedic misfire that it makes the execrable Scary Movie films look like masterworks of Preston Sturges-esque genius by comparison. The business of competently executing a joke seems utterly beyond the grasp of directors David and Scott Hillenbrand and writers Patrick Casey and Worm Miller, who instead rely on gags so hoary and broad, they’d make Mel Brooks cringe. But no matter how many farting horses, vomit buckets, and penis-catching laptops they toss out, Transylmania slowly drains viewers’ blood and makes them wish for a stake through the heart."
 
Okay, all bets are OFF. I just saw the trailer...:zombie_smiley: I'm not sure there's enough alcohol to make it through this POS.

Blaine, your manhood is at stake here. You and Hudson simply must experience it and then share the joy with all of us.

I may be saved by the fact that Hudson has failed to respond to the challenge of viewing this.:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Here's a random review I found:

I surveyed the crowd at the screening I attended, feeling the chill in the air as seven strangers sat in stone-cold silence -- not a single laugh from anyone. The eighth moviegoer? Fast asleep five minutes in. I've never envied a person more.

Well, the "fund" is up to $40 now. That's two tickets plus as much cheap alcohol as necessary for the both of you to make it through "Transylmania."

After watching the trailer again, I think we need more money for drink.
 
Okay, Blaine, how much alcohol is it gonna take to get you to sit down and watch "Transylmania?"

Hudson? Are you game?

If not, that just means we can load Blaine up with cheap grain alcohol and Twizzlers.
 
Kholi? Penguin? Zak?

I've got the funds. All I need is two intrepid souls with strong wills and healthy livers.
 
... and the willingness to share the fun thereafter through a thoughtful, insightful, master's-thesis-in-film level review.

And video, of course.
 
I thought for sure Hudson would man-up and take one for the team. He's probably curled up in his trailer finishing "Dorm Daze 2" before plunging head-first into "King Cobra."
 
Have you seen it, Ott? Have you voted in the poll? If not, I'd suggest doing both, then come back here and throw stones at Blaine's glass house.
 
Stephen, what kind of entertainment/booze 'fund' are you running here? Madoff's got nothin on you and he had detailed reports.

I'm sure if you could talk Sad Max into it he would write a most excellent review and we would get the skinny on the set design as well.
 
Stephen, you know what the alternative plan is... Drew and JDS. And you could actually drive them to the theater to make sure they went.

Heh.
