We get another Child’s Play movie. Explain to me again how Janet Jackson’s exposed tit is a threat to American society, but festering crap movies like this aren’t?
It’s a fucking doll, people! How the fuck can you be threatened by a doll? It gets uppity with you and you kick the damn thing across the room and be done with it!
Billy and Brad… from LOTR to this? 
Yeah, but they’re* evil* dolls. (Who said horror movies had to make sense? ;))
From the looks of it, I don’t even think it’s trying to be horror anymore. It actually looks like a comedy.
Yeah, you talk mighty big, but I’d like to see you try to cop that kind of attitude when the Zuni Fetish Doll comes for your sorry ass!
(And yeah, there really never needed to be more than one Child’s Play. The first movie had a couple fairly creepy moments and a mildly novel premise…for those who may have missed out on that part of the 1980’s, there actually was such a life-size doll golem for boys being marketed; “My Buddy,” I think it was called, and it was every bit as disturbing a concept as the movie depicts it to be. But I agree that the exposed secondary sexual characteristics of any member of the Jackson family is at once more horrifying and yet ultimately more tolerable than any of the sequels.)
OK, you people have clearly missed Bride of Chucky (directed by the immortal Ronnie Yu), which indeed was more or less a spoof on the Child’s Play movies – and incidentally, featured puppet sex a full 6 years before Team America: World Police. It’s shlock comedy, not horror, and no, not to be taken seriously.
In short, watch the trailer, and then decide if you still want to call this the bottom of Hollywood. (hey, you might still)
I’ve seen the commercial and that’s enough for me.
Brad Dourif’s always been the voice of Chucky.
…He has…?
:eek:
Waitasecond, I thought Gigli was the point where movies couldn’t go any lower…?
(Two weeks to The Incredibles! All other movies are lesser wastes of celluloid by comparison! 
)
Yeah, that little sumbitch was badass! Of all the Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, etc. types of monsters and ghoulies and killers, that was the only one that got me emotionally involved…as if I were Karen Black and having to contend with the little shit. It was infuriating and frightening at the same time, and had you wondering if you could ever get rid it’s annoying little ass or if it really was gonna kill you.
Cool, cool, little flick!

Brad Dourif has an extensive list of b-movie roles.
OTTOMH
In Spare Parts, he played an artist whose career takes off after he receives an arm donated by a convicted murderer (Jeff Fahey, who got the other arm, was the main character) and he moves from painting sunfilled landscapes to dark scenes of of violence and death.
In Graveyard Shift, he plays somewhat crazed Vietnam Vet who has harnessed his bloodlust by becoming an exterminator.
In Alien 4 Resurrection, he plays a thoroughly mad scientist.
In a film I can’t remember the name of, he plays the caffienated hacker/scientist employed by a large arms corporation. He creates a funky looking robot with big chromed teeth who tracks people by the pheromones they release when afraid. When he sets his beast loose on his coworkers, they can only defend themselves by hooking up one of their own to an exoskeleton that dowloads his mind to disk, and replaces it with military programming.
He also appeared on Star Trek Voyager as the homicidal crewman who finally loses control and kills one of his shipmates.
Dourif was the first person I thought of to play Wormtongue. But, the man’s been in plenty of shlock
Oh man, Chuckie oughta hook up with Talky Tina, Evil Krusty Doll, Zuni Fetish Doll, Puppet Master’s toys, and that clown from Poltergeist to form some unstoppable killing doll team. I’d plop down my $8 for that.
I’m disappointed they didn’t write in a small role for Keyshawn Johnson. Opportunity missed.
Death Machine
That’s the title I was unable to remember. The thing with chrome teeth is the Warbeast. The exoskeleton is the Hardman project.
I think the reason Dourif appears in so many B-movies is because he enjoys it.
I think the John Waters cameos strongly back this view up. 
I never knew that about Brad Dourif… wow.
walks away a bit dazed
(HEY! I remember that Voyager cameo! lightbulb over head goes on)
Brad Dourif played Brother Edward in one of my two or three favorite episodes of Babylon 5, “Passing Through Gethsemane” He was a Catholic monk, a loving, caring man. He started having what he thought were hallucinations. They were found to be flashbacks from his own memories that had been deliberately supressed. He found out he’d been mind-wiped, after being convicted as a serial killer. So now this monk was having a huge case of the guilts, because of sins he’d never confessed.
It turned out his memories had been released by the families of the victims, that had been on his trail for many years. One of them tortured Brother Edward, and he was found just before he died, getting the absolution he wanted so badly
Baker I can’t believe I forgot that! (no spoilers) In one scene, Brother Edward is meeting with ambassador D’lenn of the Minbari, who is a member of the religious caste of her world. She enjoys learning about the religions of other worlds. Edward explains that he feels it is his mission ‘To learn all the names of God from our alien brothers and sisters.’ He thanks her for her help by giving her a delicate glass swan. Making glass figurines is his hobby.
Wouldn’t Chucky’s seed be sawdust …or plastic?
