Cheese Rider

[madmuppet2k]

Saw Ghost Rider last night...for free thankfully. Whoo boy, that was so bad it was funny. I found myself simultaneously groaning laughing at all sorts of cheesy stuff. Was kind of embarrassed/confused that people around me weren't doing the same. I was hoping for something in the vein of Constantine and instead I got something closer to Army of

Holy crap, how freakin' unintentionally hilarious was this movie? Like you, I was laughing a whole lot more than the rest of the audience; I'm sure the folks behind me gave the back of my head an odd look more than once. But....the dialogue! The cheese! The two ebil villains trying to out-menace each other whilst coming off as a lame imitation of William Shatner and Ricardo Montalbon in Star Trek II!

But the biggest piece of cheese: Blackheart. Blackheart?! Could we have a more terrible, cliched name if we tried? Maybe Evil Demon Guy, or he could just make his name the sound of a sinister laugh. "Muahahahaha!" At least that'd be alliterative with dear ol' Papa Mephistopholes

I was thinking the same thing about the other rider guy. If that's all he could do couldn't he have given him a map or something?

Blackheart was just totally over the top cliche bad guy. One of my favorite horrible lines after lame intimate moment between Ghost Rider and his way too young girlfriend- "Now we know his weakness"

Speaking of the girl, what was up with that magic 8 ball? OMG I couldn't believe that whole scene with her waiting at the restaurant. Actually any time she was on camera was pretty bad.

Actually Blackheart is kind of a cool villain in the Comics. Well at least he looks cool, I don't think I read anything with him in it. He must have showed up in Ghost Rider after I stopped reading comics

Ah but the metal studs go away when he turns back to lame-o nic cage so...ah why am I analyzing this?

I know! I mean, it was a cool explanation as to why he knew all that shit, but what the hell? Was showing Johnny to the bad guys and his potential doom *really* the best use of what power he had left?

Honestly, I think were the term 'cliche' to ever develop its own consciousness, it would shy away from Blackheart, going, "Dude, you are so outta my league it isn't even funny." I don't care how cool he is in the comics, that is the lamest. name. EVER. It makes him sound like a corrupt My Little Pony.

The magic 8 ball cracked me up. Does she carry it around in her purse everywhere she goes?

You're analyzing this 'cause you're amusingly cute that way.
