"Eat Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh so people can think for themselves again." That may have well been one of the greatest qoutes ever.

"Its not like that boring black and white movie with social commentary and religious symbolism-- this movie has Theador Logan in it!" ;D
And LOL at parenting skills, too.

"I guess this advanced alien race doesn't believe in off buttons, especially when destroying planets, cause *pff* that's not important." Best. Line. Ever.

Does the earth, in fact, even stand still?

sorry for sounding like a "trivia geek" (:P) but if the earth stood still, inertia would cause everything on the planet to shoot towards one direction at like 50km an hour...and therefore we would all die. so in short: no, it cannot. lol

ya that's true, but i guess that was their original idea for killing off everything on the planet.

I hope there's a /sarcasm tag in there somewhere cuze it wasn't a literal title.

No, only Superman can make the earth stop, and reverse, and stop again, and spin
it. And make it jump trough a hoop, over a shark.
-yes-

At least, I thought of it as Ted Logan (Keanu Reeves characters are just so bland and hard to distinguish, aren't they?) and then you confirmed it was Ted in the end.
[b]Most excellent, dude![/b]
I was hoping this new movie would be as politically relevant as its predecessor was in the 1950s, but lets face it, it was doomed from the moment they cast Keanu. As for its political message, they would've been better off turning Robot Chicken's famous Ted Turner "Captain Planet" sketch into a 90 minute feature...because their message is essentially the same: "[i]Prooootect the environment...or I'll fuckin' kill you! Captaaaaiiiiiiiinnn Pllllllllanet![/i]"

12.17.2008 - 15:00 | NeonLightsOther than Bill and Ted, this was probably Keanu's best role. An empty social outcast with absolutely no feeling, emotion, or connection with those around him? Great style for Klaatu!
Not the best, but not the worst movie. Though like most of these videos, the Bum reviews were more entertaining than the moive =P

"I WISH [i]I[/i] COULD TURN INTO MOSQUITOS! ....Wait, no I don't! That'd be stupid..."
Love that line. XD

Finally some obscure Bill& Ted references
-
And I'm just a [i]little[/i] disappointed you couldn't work in some sort of reference to "Staaaation"!
Aw well. No biggie.

While I agree with everyone saying that the "Mosquitoes", the "social commentary" and "Rush/Moore" quotes (hey, that last one works so well...I COPYRIGHT THAT YOU HEATHENS!) are great, I think one stands above the rest:
The one at the end that describes the whole thing so succinctly it screams of journalistic award-winning. "Seriously, The Day The Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves. How do YOU think it was?" I do believe that will become the movie's new tagline. :P
-

As long as this movie shows a traffic jam, I'm game.
-
Hilarious! I have to agree with DanManX, the line at the end of the movie is perfect. Keanu Reeves. Does more really need to be said? :P
I never realized that there was a 1950's movie The Day the Earth Stood Still (shows how educated I am). But I'm intrigued. Definitely have to look into seeing that. Especially since Multiplex also made reference to it.
-
Erm Klaatu Brada Mosquito? I guess they left that line out of the movie for the same reason ash had trouble getting the Necronomicon.

12.17.2008 - 18:21 | Dectilon"It sounds like a Swedish dessert made out of pig testicles..."
Hey, I resent that!
I'd rather watch Bill&Ted again than watch this movie. I simply don't get it; why is Hollywood remake city now? If this is all they can do I can sympathize with the people who didn't want to give in to the Writer's Guild's demands. If they all suck, why should they get more money?
Is it just me or is 'bad parenting' a recurring theme around here? :)

you should show some pics or video about the movie and then you are a bum so i you cant afford it.
-
Not that i'm keen on defending Keanu Reeves, but i think James Rolfe (AVGN) has a point in his review of the movie, saying that Reeve's lack of emotions and monotone voice are well suited for the character he's playing in this movie, for once. Saying the movie sucks because Reeves plays the main role is a bit like saying "Terminator" sucks because Arnold Schwarzenegger, who can't act either, plays the title role. Sometimes even a bad actor can be the right one for a certain role.

When I saw the commercial for the movie, as soon as I saw Keanu's face, I just thought "Oh for fuck's sake." Great review; also, your Keanu impression was hilarious...and accurate.
-
We swedes do not make gort out of pig testicles!
Gort is made from sheep brains and moose feet, pig testicles would destroy the bouqette!
-
12.17.2008 - 21:45 | TKWolfmanThere is so much I could say about this movie, but it can be summed up like this: "Keanu Reeves in: SCI-FI JESUS 12!"
To be fair, Keanu is not the only problem this movie has. A lot of it was just ridiculous. What really hurts, though...John Cleese was in it...and he wasn't even funny! WTFFFFFFFFFF?! DX

How comes I love the Bum Reviews so much whereas I don't understand half of the things he says? :P
-
Great references to Bill & Ted(I mean will Keanu ever play a more suitable role?) and I loved the remark at the end about the original movie(which I love). Wonderful sarcasm.
Keep up the good work :D
-
Did you miss the walking on water? And the stigmata? And the raising people from the dead? And the dying for our sins?
Honestly it feels like the two movies are duking it out for most Christly imagery. At least Keanu didn't adopt the pseudonym "Carpenter".

I saw this movie...I really really was not pleased with it at all..The ending was very pointless and it lacked plot entirely..
But ya did a great review! I kind of thought it to be stupid and pointless when GORT turned into mosquitoes as well...lol
