Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

Porkys - Movie Series
@Joebagodoughnuts How about the fact that Mickey had none of the wounds he had the night before? He wasn't even on crutches. The only good part of number two was from then meeting with the KKK and to the end, that's it. Hell, I fast forward through the restaurant scene because it takes so long.

Star Trek - Movie Series
I'm going to vote "unboned by the 2009 film." Here is my brief recap of the Star Trek movies. I have seen all of them (most of them multiple times) except for Nemesis, which I have found to be unwatchable. 1.) Star Trek: The Motion Picture was actually much better than most contemporaries credited it for. 2.) Star Trek II: TWOK has been, and always shall be, our friend. 3.) ST III: TSFS was relatively weak compared to ST II; the re-casting of Saavik was painful (although it's not like Kirstie Alley was the best actress). On the upside -- Christopher Lloyd playing a Klingon. 4.) ST IV: TVH was my favorite when I was a kid, although it has aged a little. But if you don't like it, well, double dumbass on you! 5.) ST V: TFF was a trainwreck, and probably where the film series (at least as far as the original crew) can be said to have BTF. The exact moment where fish-boning occurs -- Nichelle Nichols (who is about the same age as my grandmother) doing a "seductive" desert dance. 6.) ST VI: TUC is actually quite good, but after the disaster that was the fifth film, seems like a too-little-too-late effort to salvage the reputation of the series. 7.) ST:Generations. I was very excited for this film when it came out, but the cross-over with Shatner seemed forced. It wasn't nearly as awful as the fifth film but was still pretty bad. Moreover, it seemed like an overly-long ST:TNG episode... something about it's pacing I guess. 8.) ST:First Contact was really the only good ST:TNG film. It wasn't quite as good as The Wrath of Khan, but definitely on par with the quality of the first four. 9.) ST:Insurrection, again, reverted to form as an overly-long television episode rather than as a stand-alone movie. I can't really think about anything in this film that made me excited to be watching it. But at least it wasn't terribly crappy. 10.) ST: Insurrection. As noted above, I haven't been able to finish it because I am completely uninterested. I happen to think that Picard was the best captain of the Enterprise, but it is really a fact that (with the exception of First Contact) all of the Picard-helmed films fell short. 11.) Star Trek (2009). A much-needed re-imagining of the original series, with a cross-over to ST:TNG (sort of). This has definitely revived my interest in the series, and as noted above, I vote for a de-bone. 12.) Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013). I have not seen this yet, but I am very much looking forward to seeing it. Waiting until next week when it will be available in 3D. -- Submitted By: (texasyojimbo) on May 11, 2013, 12:24 pm

Our Gang / Little Rascals - Movie Series
The only version of "Little Rascals" I've seen is the movie that came out in the 90s. For whatever reason, it has the ability to captivate the viewer. I can't tell you how many time I've watched it with my nieces. -- Submitted By: (Jp) on May 9, 2013, 10:38 pm

Arrival - Movie Series
The first Arrival movie (starring Charlie Sheen) underperformed at the box office but has since become a cult classic. It combines the best elements of the sci-fi, mystery, drama, and even conspiracy-theory movie genres. It also far predates Sheen's "winning" trip off the rails in 2011, so it shows Sheen at his acting best. For all those reasons, the first movie is well worth watching. The sequel, however, falls short of the original in every way possible: acting, writing, characterization ... you name it, the sequel blew it, with the exception of the special effects being at least decent considering it was direct-to-video (and thus budgeted accordingly). If I recall correctly, Arrival II didn't even handle the alien story consistently with the first movie, but I have no interest whatsoever in re-watching it to double-check the details. If the idea of sci-fi seasoned with a bit of mystery appeals to you, by all means you should check out the first movie. However, ALL parties are advised to take a VERY broad pass on the sequel, unless they've got some kind of morbid interest in bad movies. I'm not sure what genre(s) the second movie was aiming for, but whatever it was, it ended up as a healthy serving of fish. For the first movie, break out the popcorn; for the second, coleslaw and lemon juice. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on May 8, 2013, 2:29 am

Star Wars - Movie Series
The continuity/quality control for the whole franchise went out the window in the late 90's. The first "Extended Universe" novels and comics that were released in the early and mid 1990's were great (Thrawn trilogy, Shadows of the Empire) and didn't conflict with any SW product that had been released up to that point. -- Submitted By: (John63btf) on May 4, 2013, 5:22 am

Meet the Parents - Movie Series
I just never liked this series that much. The jokes are too forced, I didn't like how in the 90s Robert De Niro turned into a silly caricature of himself (if you want to see him in a more light hearted role where he actually is believable, check out Silver Linings Playbook), the sequels were boring and redundant, and none of the characters are that likeable. I hope after the bomb of the last sequel that this series is over, until Hollywood decides to remake it in 10 years... -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on March 11, 2013, 3:00 pm

Aladdin - Movie Series
Return of Jafar was the first, and one of the better Disney DTV sequels. It was good seeing Jafar again with Jonathan Freeman reprising his role. His over the top hamminess was entertaining, proving to be one of the better Disney villains in recent memory. The music wasn't as good as the first but I like songs like "Nothing in the World Like a Friend" and "Second Rate". Most importantly without RoJ, there would not have been an Aladdin series that turned out to be fantastic. Great movie series overall. -- Submitted By: (TrueBackLash) on March 3, 2013, 9:30 pm

Star Wars - Movie Series
Ewoks. Seriously. You had a series of movies that introduced the most bad ass villain of all time in Darth Vader. It blew away your mind with special effects that hold up well even in the age of CGI. It created entire worlds to capture your imagination. And then we had the classic "untouched by civilization" tribe brings down an empire. Classic story, except in this case they were... wait for it... teddy bears! Had George Lucas had to actually pitch the idea, rather than do whatever he wanted, he would have been laughed out of the studio. The series hasn't recovered since. All the merchandising, whoring out to toy companies and cross overs, remaking things, and the regrettable prequel happened long after the moment Star Wars lost it's legitimate cool. I mean nerds and children still eat it up, but Ewoks irrevocably killed Star Wars' cool. -- Submitted By: (moloko5) on January 5, 2013, 9:03 pm

The saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". They should have left well enough alone. "Lion King 1 and a half"? It was unnecessary and even though i was still kinda young when i saw it, i remember hating it. I LOVED (and still do) the 1st Lion King, and as far as i'm concerned, anything that followed was never made, why ruin a classic movie with less than subpar sequels. Just because a movie is great/classic, doesn't mean it needs a sequel. Even the title "1 and a half" bugged me, but i guess they named it right cuz it definitely wasn't even worthy of being named "Lion King 2". -- Submitted By: (Icemouth) on November 28, 2012, 11:17 am

Rocky - Movie Series
Rocky: Great underdog story and one of the best from nothing to something films in Hollywood. Rocky II: Very much an extension of the first one. Nothing too different. Rocky III: A bit flashy and more over the top. A great testament to the culture of excess in the 1980s as well as Sylvester Stallone's rapid rise to Hollywood A-lister during the 1980s, making it almost autobiographical. Probably known more for Eye of the Tiger and launch pad for Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. Rocky IV: Uses the Cold War as a center piece. Keeps a lot of the flash of Rocky III, though tones it down a bit. A little bit hokey and cheesy with it's overly jingoistic themes and unrealistic training scenes. Rocky V: Dark, depressing, not uplifting like other Rocky films. Unlikable characters and cheesy dialogue. Also features Stallone's son, who died recently, so overall, the boning point of the series. Rocky Balboa: A good modernized version of Rocky, though a bit unrealistic. Still, bring back the positivity and uplifting messages of the older Rocky films. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on November 16, 2012, 11:13 am

Rocky - Movie Series
First of all, I have to say that being a boxer myself, Rocky, a very likeable character, is the absolute worst boxer in the world. In the real world, there could have been no way he could have ever been champion. That being said, "Rocky" is not reality, it is fiction. Therefore, the fact that Rocky has no skill or logical boxing technique does not really matter. Just a bit of an annoyance. "Rocky" and "Rocky Balboa" were the best of the series. "Rocky II" was nothing special, just and extension of the first one. "Rocky III" was not too bad, and it spawned the number one song of 1982, still popular today. "Rocky IV" was just plain odd. Understanding it is only fiction, the likeliness of the story every actually happening, or could have happened, is 'highly unlikely' to 'not a chance'. "Rocky V" was the weakest of the series, but still not the worst film I have ever seen. Overall, a good series, with good characters and story development. -- Submitted By: (paulbrec) on November 13, 2012, 2:42 am

Star Wars - Movie Series
I'm cautiously optimistic about the sale. We saw what happens when George Lucas has total control over the franchise-- three execrable prequels, a lousy CGI cartoon, and even the original trilogy is marred by asinine changes. Honestly guys, I can't see how it can get much worse than it is now. I mean, the other day I saw Star Wars Angry Birds toys. How is a hypothetical crossover with Mickey Mouse worse than that? We'll either get more of the same, or perhaps, some good will come out of all of this now that George has little to no control of the franchise. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on November 3, 2012, 3:31 pm

Happy Feet - Movie Series
Well, I watched Happy Feet 2. The global warming message is anything but subtle this time. There are also scientific inaccuracies: as "Sven the flying penguin" is described, we see a flashback: polar bears stand on a rapidly melting ice berg, which soon melts to nothing. It just reinforces a scientific inaccuracy: penguin/polar bear coexistence. Polar Bears live in the North pole, penguins live in the South pole. They don't live together in the wild! Also, the B plot line involving the krill is irrelevant. All they do is inject themselves into scenes, adding bupkis to the story. They're more like streakers running across a baseball field, interrupting the game. And they're cliche: small creatures questioning their lot in life. Way to put on that originality cap! Not to mention Sven leads the penguins to singing the Numa Numa Dance song (Dragostea din tei). What were they thinking?! And at one part, I could've sworn I heard the penguin chick singing the bassline for Ice Ice Baby. And the credits are impossible to read. They start infinitesimal at the bottom of the screen, becoming larger as they reach the top. They become barely legible in the middle, hardly giving you time to read who did whose voice. I had to go online to find out who did the voice of Sven! Speaking of which, here's the first plus side: Sven was voiced by Hank Azaria, performing a very convincing Swedish accent. Another one: There's a part where we hear the Russian choir version of We Are the Champions, which is interesting. -- Submitted By: () on October 15, 2012, 9:39 pm

It was like half of another movie jammed into that one.

Star Trek - Movie Series
I won't comment on the reboots, but I thought the way "The Wrath Of Khan" ended would have been the PERFECT way to end the Star Trek TOS series. Spock sacrifices his own life to save the enterprise. They give him a funeral that brings the starship down. The end. Was it sad? Hell yes! Possibly the most original, some would say best, character from the series meets his fate. For once, they didn't do a cop out ending (e.g. "Checkov died because his MIND killed him".), or pick some "red shirt" to kill off ("alas Lieutenant Lipshitz I knew they well, even if the viewers didn't"). No, they gave the audience something they totally didn't expect, Spock's demise in the service of Star Fleet. Sad ending, but epic. A stroke of genius right? WRONG! Too many "trekkies" apparently got their bowels in an uproar over Spock being killed off, so they had him be "regenerated" in the next sequel by some sort of, oh who the hell knows? I'm not saying no ST film after ST2 was good, but by the time they had "The Voyage Home" it was more like a comedy than anything else. I think they missed a great cinematic opportunity there just to maximize their profits. "Spock's death" could have been looked back on as one of the most shocking moments in movie history. Instead, it's looked at as just another "guy not in a red shirt" getting reincarnated with a lame explanation for it. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 30, 2012, 3:43 pm

Smokey and the Bandit - Movie Series
Smokey and The Bandit 2 is when this boned. Instead of the good times we got in the first movie, we got a down and out Bandit, now on the outs with Sally Field who's ready to marry Sheriff Justice's son. Burt spends the entire film either bickering with Sally or trying to win her back after alienating her. In the end we're left not knowing if they met the challenge or not, but that isn't important because Bandit is a new man now (read: the kind of man Sally's character wants him to be). Total lame "a very special" concept that turned a fun original film into a sappy sequel, complete with a stereotypical Italian immigrant veterinarian (Dom Deluise who was wasted in this movie) taking care of the elephant they're transporting (BONE!). This franchise didn't have to wait for Burt Reynolds to leave to bone. I think its boning is one of the reasons he didn't want to be involved after this. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 30, 2012, 3:30 pm

Count me among those who never got what made this film such a pop culture icon.

Carrie (1976 film) - Movie Series
Y'all really need for that scene to be realistic bad doncha lol? Tell you what. Google when that's ever been reported IRL over some girl getting her first period, and provide the link and I'll believe you. BTW, if that "happened today" as someone claimed it would, they'd be expelled instead of the wrist-slap they received in the movie. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 30, 2012, 2:28 pm

Carrie (1976 film) - Movie Series
PT, a couple of things about the shower scene: 1) Just because you haven't heard of it happening (the period-teasing) doesn't mean it never happens. There are some things that girls seldom if ever talk about to guys--even their husbands. When Stephen King wrote the novel he was a bit uncomfortable writing from the female point of view and ran a lot of scenes by his wife to make sure he got it right (his need for accuracy in the writing that was putting bread on their table trumping the above-implied "girl honor code"). No doubt this included the shower scene, to make sure he portrayed the other girls' cattiness, teasing, and general reactions realistically. 2) In the context of the novel, Carrie's being teased and bullied about her period makes perfect sense. These are a bunch of girls who have known each other since they started grade school, and for all that time Carrie's been picked on for being different. Now fast-forward to the shower scene and Carrie's doing something REALLY different: getting her first period at age 16, being frightened out of her mind because she thinks she's bleeding to death, and having no idea what to do (although you can certainly blame her mother for the latter two). It's been the community norm for as long as anyone can remember to tease Carrie for being different, so it's no wonder the other girls just totally unloaded on her. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on July 28, 2012, 9:16 am

Escape from New York/Los Angeles - Movie Series
The worst part of both movies? Snake being injected with "poison" that turned out to be...the flu. Or maybe it was just a cold. Mega-lame either way. The best part of both movies? OX BAKER, baby!!! :-D -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on July 27, 2012, 4:30 am

Godfather Trilogy - Movie Series
I don't think Part 3 was an "abomination", but I think making it without trying harder to get Robert Duvall to reprise the role of Tom Hagan was. Instead, they cast George Hamilton as Michael's attorney. He's a good actor, but the script gave him almost nothing to do. Tom was a better character as not only Michael's attorney, but also as his de facto step-brother. The way I heard it, only one offer was made to Robert Duvall. When he held out for more money, they didn't make anymore offers. There were already so many characters that couldn't come back either because they were killed off, or died IRL. Why "whack" Tom over money? Did they think a "Godfather" movie wasn't going to gross enough to pay him? It's not like they had to pay Brando again. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 5:34 pm

The first one was great. I knew nothing about the sequels until I voted "Never Boned". I think I stand by that vote though as I doubt Quentin had much involvement with the sequels. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 5:24 pm

Friday the 13th - Movie Series
Originally "Jason Takes Manhattan" was supposed to be called "Jason Takes Manhattan, The Bronx and Staten Island Too", but they decided that title was too long. J/K, but anytime you have a horror film with the main protagonist (antagonist?) "taking Manhattan" be on the lookout for a lot of comic relief. What's next? "Jason Meets David Berkowitz"? -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 5:22 pm

Every Which Way But Loose - Movie Series
A lot of people wanted to watch this at the time. It wasn't like everyone had cable. Most people still had to go out to movies, and Clint Eastwood was a popular ticket fresh off his Dirty Harry and Josey Wales successes. This was slightly more light hearted. I believe the title song was a hit single as well. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 5:12 pm

Escape from New York/Los Angeles - Movie Series
Just about every character in the first one says at least once to Snake "I heard you were dead". I was about 15 when I first saw this, so I didn't think much of it at the time, but when you've seen the film as many times as I have by now you find yourself saying "I heard you were dead" along with the characters. People seeing it for the first time with me get a kick out of that. BTW, how was he supposed to have died? Nobody ever mentions what spawned this rumor, which was obviously greatly exaggerated. BTW, R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine. Not known for this film really, but he was still great in the cabbie role. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 5:10 pm

It wasn't that the sequel was horrible, but it was just OK, and following a classic like the original it was going to be disappointing being "just OK". Lovitz was funny, but Kirby should have been brought back. Where was he supposed to be anyway? The whole "Curly's twin brother" thing seemed contrived. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 4:53 pm

Carrie (1976 film) - Movie Series
Day 1. I'm sure this was a big time thriller in its day, and I'm sure it would still scare a lot of people, but I totally DO NOT BUY that locker room scene with all those girls ganging up on Carrie, chanting "plug up your leak" like crazed jackals, just because she got her period and didn't have a tampon. I don't think that would happen in a ghetto much less where it was depicted. I found that more offensive than the blood and violence, because it insulted my intelligence. Was there bullying in the 70s? Yeah, I just think there were certain lines they didn't cross even then. NEVER heard of a girl getting bullied about her period....NEVER! Probably because most girls empathize about that sort of thing. That boned this franchise for me. How good could the sequels be if the original insulted my intelligence like that? -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 4:47 pm

Bad News Bears, The - Movie Series
Remakes are automatic bones, but in this case the remake factor is blown out of the water by the "Go To Japan" factor. It was an absolutely dreadful movie that all the basic aspects of boning the fish including: Exit Stage Left (Tanner Boyle; Timmy Lupus; Amanda / Carmen Ronzonni) Puberty (Pretty much everyone) New Kid In Town / Cousin Oliver Syndrome (Ahmid's kid brother; and there's a Jesus freak on the team now?) Same character; Different Actor (Matthau begat Devane begat Curtis; Musical Engelbergs) Even without all of the above, the plot was awful. Tony Curtis' character was impossible to like. There was no "game" other than the sand lot one they played at the end (outcome unknown). This was effectively the movie the "Bears" didn't need to make. The reboot may have been bad (I honestly didn't see that), but at least it was based on the original movie and characters. "Go To Japan" was just awful. Breaking Training wasn't AS good as the first, but it was good enough, definitely funny, had a feel good ending and cameos by Bob Watson, JR Richard and Enos Cabell. That was a decent sequel. Go To Japan was not. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 12:10 pm

Back to the Future - Movie Series
"I'll have a Pepsi Free." The owner of the soda shop's reaction to that was so funny back when most people would have gotten that joke. I doubt most people know what "Pepsi Free" was, and I bet most people who were around when Caffeine free Pepsi was called "Pepsi Free" don't even remember that. Of course they could read this site and learn it. :) -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 12:00 pm

Austin Powers - Movie Series
It boned at the very beginning of the 2nd movie when Vanessa / Elizabeth Hurley was suddenly revealed to be a "fem bot". How was that even possible when Austin supposedly worked with her mother before he was frozen? Her mother didn't know her "daughter" was a fem bot? She didn't recall not having given birth to her? What a cop out! Then they bring back Number 2 / Robert Wagner after we saw him burned to death in the 1st film. How did he survive unscathed, and why did Dr. Evil take him back? Just bizarre discontinuity. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 11:54 am

Arthur - Movie Series
Arthur 2 wasn't as funny. The plot was recycled from the first movie, with the same psycho trying to blackmail Arthur into marrying his daughter. It also suffered from "sappy ending" syndrome. The actress who played Arthur's grandmother was old and ill by this time and was only seen sitting down. Watching her get hot over her "trainer" was something I could also do without. Too many forced jokes. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 26, 2012, 11:44 am

Fast and the Furious (film series), The - Movie Series
Tokyo Drift was too far away from the story line and was an entirely different movie. I didn't mind it, but the thread to the original story was way too thin.

Speed - Movie Series
To be honest the middle of the sequel was ok. Great action. But the premise that Sandra Bullock's character after getting involved with Keanu Reeves' from the first movie broke up with because she didn't like the way he always placed himself in danger. And then she another guy the one played by Jason Patric who unbeknownest to her is also a cop and a swat cop like Keanu's character. And why it would have been good for Keanu to have been there; was his character seeking help from Glenn Plummer's character. In the first one, he was the one whose car Keanu took to chase the bus and in the second one he would have taken his boat. To be frank, when Keanu didn't agree to do the movie, the producers should written off Glenn's character. His boat being taken would have been better is Keanu took it. -- Submitted By: (rony) on July 23, 2012, 11:41 am

Batman - Movie Series
It's hard to say what the future holds. The media was trying to tie this into Batman by reporting rumors that this guy dyed his hair and called himself The Joker, but law enforcement officials say that info was completely false. You're absolutely right that this sicko's actions shouldn't color people's perceptions on Batman, but unfortunately that seems to have happened. WB is pulling advertisement for TDKR for the time being and Nolan has released a statement. The word prior to the massacre was that WB was planning an immediate Batman reboot like Sony did with Spiderman, but I wonder if that's going to change now. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on July 21, 2012, 3:12 pm

Yes, the tragedy is sick, but I don't think the whole franchise of movies is tainted because of one crazy individual. I did see the third movie and didn't like it as much as the first two, so I think it was a good time to close this Batman series and I hope they let the series rest for a while before rebooting it up again. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on July 21, 2012, 12:44 pm
