Oh, I'm sure. As well as swarms of others. However, that's how I like to work anyway.... earn my way. Blame the German in me...or maybe it's a masochist thing, who knows. Either way, I'm fine with it.

Probably because parts of German(can't remember if it was north or south....I'm thinking south though) is guttural as is firm english. Plus, they have a similar flow. So spoken backwards, the individual sounds would sound similar...but not be coherent. One set of my grandparents were born in Germany(one north, one south) and I could easily see it as sounding english(from a north american stance) by someone who doesnt speak either.

Aren't you like 12? It might be too inappropriate for you.

Most 12 year olds watch South Park Jackass and Family Guy so have no problem with adult material.

Yeah, you probably don't even know what eighty dollars is worth!

That's true, but it seems like alot of the stuff in there wouldn't make it on TV. I couldn't be the judge of that though.

Let's see what shocking things might be seen in Hector:
*Person's Head Exploding (Just a touch of spatter, though.)
*People in their underwear
*Items such as dirty needles and condoms
*Drug References
*Offscreen *Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow*
A lot of references to pornography and *Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow*
*A lot of naughty language (but I think the naughtiest it gets is "bastard.")

Take a look at that list and see if it lets you know what you need to know about the game.

All that would make it onto TV easly (as long as it had a mature rating and was on post water shed)

You're probably right. I just don't think I would recommend it to a 12 year old kid. It's been a while since I played it, though. My memory could have exaggerated it.

Scnew · 05/30/2011, 08:17 pm

I probably wouldn't recommend a game where you sell an unconscious heroin addict as a sex toy to a 12 year old. But maybe that's just me.

The fact that it wasn't totally wasn't expected. And it's also catchy. Though in retrospect, that's more of a reason for liking it than finding it funny.

*GuruGuru214* · 05/30/2011, 11:11 pm

The absurdity of seeing Michael Bolton dressed as Jack Sparrow, Forrest Gump, Erin Brockovich, and Tony Montana was also a funny factor, as well as The Lonely Island's reactions. Not to mention...

Hayden · 05/30/2011, 11:38 pm

Yeah, I also found it unexpected, and mildly humourous... but it just didn't make me laugh. It's not as though I dislike the song, nor do I think it's a poor attempt at comedy; I just didn't understand how people could say that it's "hilarious" or that they "laughed hard" at it.

*GuruGuru214* · 05/30/2011, 11:42 pm

Well, here's another video featuring Michael Bolton that might make you laugh. I know it made me laugh.

And if that link doesn't work in Australia, try this one.

I liked Last Action Hero. It was a brilliant parody. If you take it seriously, yes, you will hate it. It was supposed to be cliché. All the commonly used action scenes are there...they are exaggerated and insane. Its problem was it's subtility...it was only liked by little kids who didn't care and action movie nerds.
Yeah the "wrap-around" was weak, but since it's individual action and comedy scenes were unique(in being parodied at the time), it will have a special place in my heart.

I like Last Action Hero too. It's good fun and there's some nice gags in there, such as the Stallone Terminator 2 poster. I never understood why it gets so much hate. Other movies that got a lot of hate upon release but I enjoy are Waterworld and Hook.

I like the 'Pages Related to Your Post' feature on Facebook - it makes for some pretty entertaining/hilarious results.

Well there are certainly some laughs to be had in terms of its cheeziness level.

I saw both at drive-ins back when those still existed(long gone from the big city). I enjoyed Hook quite a bit. I think it was just over hyped and people expected too much....Spielberg, Hoffman, Roberts, Hoskins. Then add in the fact that it claimed to be based on the book....to which the screenplay was rewritten by 4 people. I admit I have not read the book, but I doubt it follows it very faithfully after 3 different people got a hold of it(the original writer did get a shot at it). Oh well, I liked it. Waterworld...not so much. The acting wasnt great and when you sit for 3hrs(yeah i had the privilege of seeing the director's cut)...you just cant wait for it to end. ...and then there's the budget...175 million in 1994 was insane for what is essentially mad max on water. Personally, I didn't really get into the story either... but hey, people like different things and I can respect that.

To give people some perspective, Jumanji came out the same year as Waterworld, made the same amount of money and only cost 50 million. The special effects action juggernaut that was T2 only cost 102 million as well.
