Pick a Sci-Fi movie for JL!!!

Wrote a paper in college about why Hamlet should *not* follow the code of Bushido...which I only really knew about 'cause of Ghost Dog.

I’ll jump on the Ghost Dog train. The Code of Bushido says I must!

Ghost Dog might be the <b>most</b> JL movie ever, good call!

g g gooding

That would be amazing.

I won't bloat you with a hundred recommends, but 2 movies nobody reacts to that I'd love to see on here, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai and I Love You, Man. If you haven't seen them, Ghost Dog is about a hitman who finds himself a target by his own employer, featuring the first ever film score by RZA. I Love You, Man is my favorite Paul Rudd movie about the awkwardness of finding plutonic male friendship in your late 30s/early 40s.

Thank you! I am going to be making a painting in few months based on a super hero group I made up as a child called "The Moon Dogs" and I'd love for the EOM pups to be a part of it if you like :)

JooYoung Choi

Oh, wow. You’re gonna have to let us know how to get some artwork. That’s fantastic. Keep up the good work!

Blank EOM

Just one hat into the ring of "zero reactions" - Manchurian Candidate (both of em). How has <b>no one</b> done the '62 one? Seriously?

I never want to be a cloud on a sunny day, but...Ken; scale it back a bit, son. You clearly know good/fun stuff (I support 95% of your data) but <i>no one</i> listens when you say <b>too</b> much. <p>And "iconic Steve Guttenberg" is?...come on now. Short Circuit, Police Academy, and Can't Stop the Music are flaming trash bags of fun...but...</p>

g g gooding

Right on, Ken! Gattaca is <b>so</b> razor!<p>A thing worth looking up - there are several deleted scenes and the coda, rightly cut for pacing reasons. But they're fantastic scenes that add even more depth. Borgnine <i>knew</i> who Vincent was. Alan Arkin cracked the case, but... All on YouTube, dig em!</p>

Here is a link to an image of the type of stuff I paint while I am listening :) https://ibb.co/PNMpcT7

That is so awesome! I really love what EOM is creating. I am an artist and I work a lot alone, I used to listen to movies a lot by myself, but being able to listen to EOM commentaries while working has really been a highlight of my studio hours while I paint or draw :) You all are awesome, and I love what you are doing!

JooYoung Choi

Oh, for sure. Any films that don’t win polls are still coming. And Children of Men is too good to sit for very long. I’ve wanted J to see it since we started. So it’s def coming no matter what.

Blank EOM

Thats actually a really good idea. We did a test run of sorts with The Ghost and The Darkness (I couldn't find any reactions to it), so I'd love to do this. Def will add this to an upcoming poll and try to find another gem nobody has reacted to for J.

Blank EOM

It’s actually on the channel and patreon already. I think it’s was the first comedy he reacted to. Def check it out if you haven’t seen it. It’s hilarious. Lol

Blank EOM

Congrats, these are all really good options. I prefer Weird Science since I like seeing you react to comedic stuff, and it has some of those cringey "oh sh*t" moments that are fun to watch reactions to. That said, I think these all have numerous reactions already, and there are so many movies with zero reactions that would be great to react to. You should really do a "zero reactions" list of movies for which there are no reactions yet. Here's some movies that would be great for reactions that have none yet: Next (Nicolas Cage sci-fi) Limitless (Bradley Cooper sci-fi) Push (Chris Evans / Dakota Fanning sci-fi) Crank (Jason Statham action) About a Boy (brilliant Hugh Grant comedy) Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (Andy Garcia &amp; all star cast, crime drama) Sense &amp; Sensibility (Hugh Grant / Emma Thompson / Kate Winslet romance period piece) The Legend of 1900 (Tim Roth, sweeping period piece / fable) Human Nature (surreal Charlie Kaufman comedic drama starring Tim Robbins, Patricia Arquette) Real Men (James Belushi, John Ritter comedy thriller) Year One (Jack Black, Michael Cera comedy) Go (brilliant slice of life comedy) I Heart Huckabees (Mark Walberg, Dustin Hoffman, surreal comedy) Sweet and Lowdown (Sean Penn stars in Woody Allen comedy/mockumentary about depression-era jazz guitarist) Diggstown (James Woods boxing thriller) A River Runs Through It (Brad Pitt drama/period piece) Four Rooms (Quentin Tarantino comedy starring Tim Roth; outragous, artsy, funny &amp; a bit horrific, great cameos) The Black Hole (cult classic Disney horror sci-fi) Cat's Eye (Stephen King star-studded horror anthology) Dreamscape (Dennis Quaid sci-fi) Best Seller (James Woods, Brian Dennehy crime/suspense, very cool, very 80s) Sphere (Dustin Hoffman / Samuel L. Jackson / Sharon Stone, based on Michael Crichton novel, underrated sci-fi) FAQ About Time Travel (2009 British sci-fi comedy, underrated) Night of the Comet (80s horror / apocalypse that is surprisingly good, cult classic b-movie) For Love of the Game (Kevin Coster baseball movie) Stuck on You (Matt Damon / Greg Kinnear buddy comedy) Silent Movie (underrated Mel Brooks comedy, one of his top 5 funniest movies) Cheap Detective (Neil Simon ensemble comedy) Twenty Bucks (Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, WIlliam H. Macy, Elisabeth Shue and others, artsy/indie) The Number 23 (Jim Carrey thriller/horror) Land of the Lost (Will Ferrell, Danny McBride comedy) Cowboys and Aliens (underrated sci-fi-western with Daniel Craig &amp; Harrison Ford) If Looks Could Kill (underrated spy comedy starring Richard Grieco) Rustler's Rhapsody (Tom Berenger, surprisingly good comedy western) the Boyfriend School (aka Don't Tell Her It's Me) (Steve Guttenberg, underrated romantic comedy) Taps (young Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise, and Sean Penn; George C. Scott in early 80s military school drama) 200 Cigarettes (Ben Affleck, Dave Chapelle, Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, and more) Heat (1986 action movie starring Burt Reynolds, not to be confused with 1995 movie of same name) Three O'Clock High (underrated high school comedy) Cocoon (iconic Steve Guttenberg sci-fi) Virtuosity (Denzel Washington plus young Russell Crowe, sci-fi thriller) Vampire's Kiss (early Nicolas Cage movie, artsy/indie vibe) Lawnmower Man (Pierce Brosnan &amp; Jeff Fahey in sci-fi horror) The Man with Two Brains (Steve Martin comedy-horror)

Ken Myers

Gattaca is one of the best movies of all time. One of those wholly unique "perfect" movies. A masterpiece of sci-fi film noir.

Ken Myers

Have you seen Galaxy Quest? It’s a fun one! You deserve it after a month of horror films 😊

JooYoung Choi

Blank - you might care: just watched <i>In Time</i> from Andrew Niccol, which no one, ever, saw. It's not bad at all. Certainly not his best, but it was a lotta fun, albeit a mess. (Didn't quite bring sexy back, but Justin knew how to act...I'll just let myself out, then?)

g g gooding

It's def coming at some point.

Blank EOM

Blank - you promised me some Gattaca back in a forgotten comment. 🤗 <p>Best sci-fi about racism with an all white cast, ever...I mean, Blair Underwood is briefly in it as a doctor. Make a black person a judge or a doctor and then cool, right? Right???</p><p>Oh, well. Stellar flick regardless; we were <b>all</b> once just a piece of a star.</p>

g g gooding

I love that fight scene so much

Hoping for District 9 out of that list, but pretty far behind...

L77045

Re They Live: The studio/producers complained to Carpenter that the fight scene needed to be re-edited, because of how long it was. He said, cool...and then edited it to be <i>longer</i>. <p><b>Legend!</b></p>

g g gooding

I'm happy with Weird Science or They Live 😊

Michelle Bebo Horrigan

Totally, Children of Men is an amazing film!

Craig Fleming

Weird Science is one of my faves

Devyn Johnson

For myself I'd vote They Live. But I voted Iron Giant...for JL.

g g gooding

They Live better win this one

Red Tail Zephier

I know it won't win this time, but definitely consider keeping Children of Men in your back pocket. JL seems to have an affinity for the dare-I-say classier brand of genre filmmaking (alongside the pure fun stuff), such as him loving The Godfather 1 and 2, LotR, Truman Show, (and his admiration if not fondness for) The Exorcist, etc. Children of Men is one of the most astonishing pieces of 21st century cinema, simply on a technical level, as well as being a riveting thriller, so one day I'd love to see him react to it and hear his thoughts. I'm a huge Alfonso Cuaron fan.
