About us

COLIN is an American. A Hoosier. A photographer. A parody rapper. He has seen Zoolander at least 57 times and is convinced Rocky IV ended the Cold War. He has had whole conversations in Supertrooper quotes and one day plans to write an entire screenplay of classic lines recycled from his favorite movies. There is at least an 80% chance he is wearing his orange LeBron James jersey right now.

ALEX can be seen mackin' hoes and smackin' foes on a regular basis. The phrase pimpin' ain't easy does not apply to him. When he's not pimpin' it, he can be seen in your neighborhood multiplex. Don't invite him to watch your favorite sports movie, feel-good movie, or anything associated with Michael Bay because he will not participate. A Penn State grad, but a bigger Hoosier fan than you. There's at least a 59% chance he once sported a pony tail.

The H.M.S. ABC Project: B

When Nix came to me with this fantastic idea, I was admittedly a bit hesitant at first. I mean, 26 posts in 26 days?! We can barely manage two in that time frame. But here we are at the B's already! We're just chugging along, and I'm really proud of our effort thus far. We're simply two guys with a vision of blogging immortality, and right now all of our wildest dreams are coming true. We have so many people to thank for helping get us here, but there's really no time for that. Onward!

Let me first say...there's a hell of a lot of "B" movies I love. Just look at this list of "B" comedies!

Billy Madison
Blues Brothers
Beverly Hills Cop (1&2...screw 3)
Blazing Saddles
Brokeback Mountain
Back to the Future (all of them!)
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (Keanu's greatest work)
Beetlejuice
Batman & Robin

There's some other quality "B" movies (Boogie Nights, Braveheart, Breaking Away, A Beautiful Mind, Battlefield Earth), but screw it. I'm sticking with a comedy. And my favorite Tom Hanks movie ever...



Admit it, you were expecting "Big"

Yes, The 'Burbs! It's got everything...Explosions! Satanic rituals! Epic 80s zooms! Corey Feldman!

If we kept up a list of "criminally underseen" movies (and don't put it past us), this would be right at the top for me. It's been out for 21 years, go see it already! (You can buy The 'Burbs AND The Money Pit together...what a great night of movies that would be.)

And if we had a movie character draft (and again...probably coming soon), Rumsfield would go somewhere in the 3rd-5th pick for me. The guy is a legend, chock full of one-liners.

All right, that's it for me. I'll see you Thursday, D-Day.

I've never seen anybody drive their garbage down to the street and bang the hell out of it with a stick,

Colin

    Colin - A list of "B" comedies without mention of The Big Lebowski is criminal. Solid choice nonetheless.
