To keep my grand tradition of foolish crushes on big dumb guys alive - and it really has been a bit stagnant recently - I think I need to see this. Like, last year. ZOMG.

I remember slavering over the trailers at the time but it somehow escaped the clutches of my hot little hands - but since watching The Mist (highly recommended - even if only

Such a shame they didn't have TJ back for Punisher 2. Just watched that last weekend, and... it was OK.

[letheron]

There's a Punisher 2?

*scurries off to imdb*

*howls with laughter* Titus Pullo! and Det. McNulty? Oh man, I bet it's hilarious! :D But yeah, they just don't have the trashy drawcard appeal of TJ :(

And now I feel like I should be in a soap saying that: "Welcome to the O.C T.J, bitch!" :P

[suburbannoir]

...explosions, did you say?

*watches trailer*

Explosions! Cars! Cars exploding!

But wait, John Travolta?

[letheron]

Tear-drop tattoos! Chevrolets! Compound bow! Five lines of dreadfully awfully wonderful dialogue in the whole damn thing! Explosions explosions explosions! Gun porn! "The Russian"! Explosions set off by a remote control that's so cool he doesn't even have to look just "blip" it over his shoulder! His uber toned and muscled and sweaty shoulder! The questionable Metal soundtrack! The rippling pulsingwashboard stomach (see 1:58 for ref. SEE IT.) Drug fucked Ben Foster! Waitress Rebecca Romjin! The Punisher shirrrrrrrrrt! Posing dramatically like Capn' Jack/Angel/everyone-ever-in-a-long-coat on a bridge!

But yes - even with all of this - does the good outway the John Travolta?

Hurm.

I'm going to say... yes. Because, hell, if I could sit through "Broken Frakking Arrow" for Christian Slater I can sit through this for the cars!

[suburbannoir]

I...think it might?

(Ben Foster! Is he ever not drug-fucked?)

[letheron]

YAY! *happy dance*

And good point. He will eat your soul!

p.s. don't read that fic. Ever. I was totally off my head yesterday. It has wings in it! *shudder*

It's called "The Punishment Due" for a reason, y'know ;). Listen carefully to Dave's pissed-off Daffy Duck snarls from about 3:00

lol Do the vocals ever start? God I love metal, er, rock, er...whatever the hell this. And I love those pants!

To quote Bill & Ted: "Dude, when I die, you can have my Megadeth collection". Except you've already got it. Never mind :).

I do love old Skull Shirt. He turned up a supporting character just when Spidey was lacking something in the crazed vigilante Vietnam vet department.

And speaking of craptastic yet strangely addictive film adaptations:

Mmm, must pull out that CD again. :) Should work to inspire my epic and awful Schachfic. :P

And what? Punisher went up against Spidey? Are they even in the same universe? Or was Spidey was just looking boring and too candy primary-coloured in a darkening world and the Punisher filled that newly vacant gap in fanboys minds nicely?

Ha! I think I have those exact fake gunshot sound fx on my computer! And, yeah, thanks but no thanks - Dolph "D'awww, out acted by the plastic palm-tree" Lundgren? Been there, done that (for a good couple of years *cough* - pre Van Damme, even! Dear god I was twisted 12 year old...) and don't really care to go back - especially not where there are so many other hulking crappy actors to have fleeting flirtations with! :D

That dude going over the banister though - hilariously shot! It might be worth watching just for that!
