I only found this out by listening to the Seether song and the films small mention on the bottom: [Punisher: The Movie](http://www.punisherthemovie.com/) Warning: There are quite disturbing images that pop up randomly. Not sure if it counts as unsafe for work but you have been warned. Hope it’s good though, the website is cool but I can’t even find out who is in it apart from a picture of John Travolta, I think. ---

The movie hasn’t yet been released yet in a quite a few countries. Maybe nocturnal\_tick lives in one of them. ---

> [@JuanitaTech](#): > > The movie hasn’t yet been released yet in a quite a few countries. Maybe nocturnal\_tick lives in one of them. Good point. Hadn’t thought of it as his location is…well, nebulous. However, nocturnal…if box office is any indication, it was only in the theatres here for three weeks at the most. Not a good sign ---

Came and went. The consensus seems to be that it was the audience that was being Punished. ---

Hey guys, help me out if you can. There’s this movie that I’ve heard they’re making about this group of guys in a mystical land who have to defeat some bad guy by destroying a ring. The guys form a fellowship, which includes a few habbits (sp?), a couple of men, a wizard, a dwarf, and an elf. They have all kinds of adventures and stuff. Anybody help me out? It is based on a a book by J.R. Ewing? Alice B. Toklas? Something like that. It should be cool. ---

That’s nothin’. I just heard about this movie where some guy sings jazz, and _you can hear it!_ Anybody know when that’s gonna be out? I think it would be interesting, you know, as a one-time novelty sort of thing. ---

A Moderator Speaketh: Whoa, there, gang. Personal insults are not appropriate in this forum. Just because someone is not up-to-date about a movie that came and went in the blink of an eye, a few months ago, is no reason for massive sarcasm. Reign it in. ---

I actually did manage to see it and thought it was pretty damn good, as talkies go. The pace wasn’t all that great and it was awfully brutal, but that’s the Punisher’s whole schtick, so thumbs up. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/theyre-making-a-punisher-film/248484.md?page=2)
