Kids movies don't need Stripper Jokes and Velvet Underground songs.


Sorry this was near-absolute garbage, the final action sequence was the only highlight, everything else was just an obnoxious nightmare.

There is no Velvet Underground music in this movie. Perhaps you were in the wrong theater?

reply

Sorry, I got Velvet Underground mixed up with Black Sabbath, my bad.

The song was called Paranoid.

Do they really play Paranoid in this film? Maybe I'll have to see this after all :D

It's a finnish joke to yell at gigs "play Paranoid!", similar to "play Freebird!" which I've heard is yelled in the US during gigs

Why cant a kids film have the song Paranoid in it?

reply

Won't somebody think of the children?!!

Seriously, as long as a parent has decent taste in music, chances are at some point the kid has already heard Paranoid, Iron Man and War Pigs. Because they're 40 year old songs. And Sabbath is awesome.

You can't please every single parent

All credibility lost at thinking Paranoid is Velvet underground.

But they're so similar. 

Sorry you have no sense of humor.

reply

"War Pigs" would have been more appropriate than "Paranoid" for this film for obvious reasons.

reply

Yes the stuff they tried to 'work in' for the adults was either not very good, or just way out of place. Though I did like the Shining reference.

reply

I agree entirely - utter garbage.

It's based on a game that people only play while sitting on a toilet. Should it really have any standards?

Tipper must be having a cow over Paranoid
