Author Topic: The Onion Movie (2008) - direct to DVD Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-14-2008 03:10 AM                     This movie SHOULD have been released to theaters. I see shit like Epic Movie being released to a few thousand theaters and it is non-stop, unfunny garbage. The Onion Movie however is pretty damn entertaining! Out of an 80 minute run time, at least 65 minutes of it will have you laughing and entertained (there were a couple of sections that dragged a little bit). 4 out of 5 stars Here is the trailer. Some various clips I found on youtube...

My favorite "bit" of theirs was a few years ago when they put up a story that Neil Armstrong's ACTUAL first words spoken on the surface of the moon were, "Holy fucking shit! I'm on the goddamn moon!"  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-15-2008 05:14 AM                        The Onion always has me busting my sides with laughter. This one is no exception: Onion on gays in the military And as long as we are talking bout stuff that makes tears come to your eyes and nearly puts you in a coma because you can't get your breath from laughing so hard, there's this brutal knock down of Colin Farrel by none other than Stewie of Family Man. How they get away with this stuff is always a wonderment to me: Stewie on Colin Farrel  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Are you trying to confuse me with your wily ways for some nefarious, evil-doing purpose? I am fully capable of watching this movie and have just done so. The movie, for the most part, is pretty damn funny! I agree there are some scenes that weren't too funny and would best be removed, but the terrorist training, neck belts, bank "robber", Bates 4000 and the like were all damn hilarious. Way better than crap like Epic Movie or whatever since they get no laughs. Why wasn't this in theaters? No funding?  |  IP: Logged Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 06-30-2008 10:17 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer Are you trying to confuse me with your wily ways for some nefarious, evil-doing purpose?

Occasionally it wanders into yawn-get-on-with-it territory, but over all it's a great politically incorrect time at the movies (at home). Melissa Cherry interview How long did it sit on the shelf though? It has a 2007 copyright on it and yet it had Rodney Dangerfield in it...and he died in October 2004! Hey! We're all gonna get laid! 4/5  |  IP: Logged
