664311, Never saw Man with the Iron Fist... Posted by wallysmith, Sat Oct-19-13 02:07 PM
...so I can't comment on that.
But it feels like you're trying to get a rise from me for defending the movie... *shrug*
Like Frank experienced, I was one of those people that tried to put other people on to Boondock Saints. Most of them were pretty lukewarm about it, if not outright hating it. And like I said, the movie definitely doesn't stand up to repeat viewings.
But whenever it comes up with people I watched it with (or watched it around the same time) it's always good feelings and lots of laughs. And I marked the fuck out when I was watching The Walking Dead and one of the McMurphy brothers walked onto the screen. And I still root for his character in large part because of his role in Boondock Saints (incidentally... "bundok" means mountains in Tagalog, and is where the word "boondocks" actually originated).
It's a bad movie... it really is. But that's not going to stop me from putting down the remote whenever it's on tv.
