Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
🕑 Added 2021-01-25 11:05:59 +0000 UTCGot a smoke? For real- do you? We’re talking to you. Answer us!!! While we’re waiting, it’s ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 this week. What a movie, what a score! Anything that lacks in the movie the score makes up for. You can see some early Carpenter genius in this one and some fun shitty performances. Now, how did you come by a name like Napoleon Wilson? The Boyz have a few theories.

Hell yeah
I think the Burger King Kids Club dog is named J.D. for "just dog"

Jesus Christ, I pressed pause to write this comment, pressed play, and literally the next thing I heard is Rodgers telling this story.

Gonna point this out because no one else has, Bishop's story of being sent to the police station with a note from his father is basically word for word a story Alfred Hitchcock would tell about his youth. According to Hitchcock, he was placed in a jail cell and it was what inspired his obsession with mistaken identity narratives. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a conscious lift by Carpenter.

100%. There are a lot of IPAs still out there but complaining about them is like complaining about chinstrap beards.

Not convinced that the Action Boyz have a beer expert. Any real beer guy would tell them that most craft breweries are making pilsners these days. Disappointed.

So in Mary Poppins was Dick Van Dyke a 'quimney sweep'?

Wow. I had to look up Napoleon and Josephine - and I’m a history buff.

Looking forward to Under Siege 2, but I'm still bummed Gwildor lost the "Travis Dane" role to Eric Bogosian. Word is Gwil couldn't control his gill slits during the missing disc freak out scene.

Don’t really pay attention to the comments here usually, and I’m late to this - but is everyone really cool with the movie releases on HBO Max? I’m on the Boyz side on this one. Seems like it’ll kill theaters, fuck over workers, and make more content the same quality as Netflix (that is, mostly garbage)

I hope an ice cream guy calls in next month

I guess there are lots of names for that cone
