The inevitable 'Face Punch' thread

Via the Twilight thread:

--

so I saw this movie so as to remain one with the zeitgeist (lies, I saw it cause my sisters wanted to).

it was kind of boringly competent for a Twilight movie. way fewer "WHAT THE FUCK AM I WATCHING" moments than the first one. bella and edward still have hilarious non-chemistry and whenever they kiss it's like someone just told them their grandmothers died. bella and jacob on the other hand have some actual chemistry, and the best part of the movie is the two of them just hanging out, building motorcycles and being bros. there was also a great bit where they go to see a movie called FACE PUNCH, tagline: Let's Do This!.

also the last fifteen seconds of the movie are so WTF that the entire theater of fangirls roared with derisive laughter.

Be great if they had them going nuts over the soundtrack.

Two showings? How long is Face Punch, four hours?

"From visionary director Andrei Tarkovsky"

i am having a rotten weekend and this is seriously the only thing that's made me laugh. let's do this!

Surely Nic Cage is in Face Punch?

ha, was gonna say the same thing

in face punch, instead of switching faces with travolta he switches faces with himself

Some details, from some person who saw it and reported in on, of course, facepunch.com:

Went down like this.

Guy 1: Put down the gun or I'll blow your fricking head off.

Guy 2: YOU put down the gun or I'll blow YOUR fricking head off.

Guy 3: Both of you put down the guns or I'll blow your fricking heads off.

Guy 1: Alright, let's do this.

And then there were various sounds of explosions, gunfire, and screaming.

Also it showed no actual movie, just the sound.

I dunno, sounds like a bit of zen perfection to me.

haha this very reminiscent of best fictional movie title referenced in Seinfeld

wtf? that is a real website! (xpost - i mean facepunch.com of course)

Apparently facepunch.com was around for a long time before Twilight and all, and they are somewhat aggrieved.

at one point in New Moon there are three things on the screen: dashing Jacob Black, hero of the film; gawky Mike Newton, Bella's would-be suitor; and a movie poster for FACE PUNCH: Let's Do This!. Guess which one exudes the most charisma?

also in the climactic "hey you guys what movie should we see" scene, the Twilight kids decided against seeing the hit romantic comedy "Love Spelled Backwards is Love."

after reading about Hardwicke dropping out thanks to the ridiculous production schedule, I suspect this is all the wondrous product of some renegade low-level creative types that slipped through the cracks of boring BS that makes up the rest of the series.

Can't help but think it's Andy Samberg-inspired.

"There's also one called 'Hours of Tears,' which is supposed to be a very serious European art-house film; I made that title up as well," Weitz said, grinning. He urged fans to watch for its poster, along with another movie about parking meters.

wonder what the equivalent of Twilight is in the Twilight movie universe

probably that one about parking meters

so, American Pie director left a trace

TS: Face Punch v Nation's Pride

this thread would have been better if the op didnt explain it

Amongst the posters alongside Hours Of Tears and Love Spelled backwards was an actual poster for a real film, the micro budget, very interesting Canadian zombie or is it horror Pontypool.

But, I hope Edward & Bella go to see FACEPUNCH 2.
