First up, Brad, Brian, Sarah, Virtual Boyd and Max Force catch the screening of "The Green Lantern." In 3-D of fucking course.
Then, Jake and Jerrid describe their amazing experience in seeing "Mr. Popper's Penguins." Seriously. You're really going to want to see this.

Options for next time
1. Recorded it, blurred out the faces, and posted it somewhere, because that would've stopped that shit
2. Asked them to break a $5 bill so you can buy a large Squirt
3. Speak fake gay to each other loudly and then give each other fake head (through popcorn, or not lol) or anal blocking their view of the screen to see who can gross out who first by acknowledging that each other has way too much hair and that they didn't take their tags off their clothes.

1. Why would you want to stop that? They weren't hurting anyone and it's not like they were ruining a good movie.
2. Why would you break a five to buy a large drink? That shit is like $6.50
3. Or just enjoy the show (whichever one you prefer to watch).

1. I don't want an STD when I go and see My Little Pony in 3D
2. Maybe I should have said Gushers?
3. They said they were Trailer Trash, hence she was REALLY skinny, missing teeth, and she was probably homeless in need of money for her crack addiction...so she was a prostitute

Hoss, if you think you can get an STD from a movie theatre seat, I'm afraid I'm going to have to terrify you with what goes on in hotel rooms.
You've got nothing to worry about.

Huh. Well, no surprise on Green Lantern. GASP, a DC Comics movie that isn't good. Next you'll tell me The Asylum makes crappy knock-off flicks. It does sound like the short running does a lot to hurt the movie, like they cut down all the character development and such just to deliver a mess of a film.
As for Mr. Popper's Penguins? Wow.... I mean, I know the movie is terrible. And maybe I sound kinda prudish, but if something like that started in a theater while I was watching a movie, I'd report the damn people. No matter how awful the movie is. And gee, what theater doesn't have employees checking the theaters from time to time. I always see them adjusting the temperature or something at mine. Maybe it really was a pair of the employees. Heh.
Reply to this
Like the good minimum wage employees that they are, movie theater workers tend to stop giving much of a shit about anything after 10. Surprised the couple isn't spot on security camera though.
Reply to this
Why would you report them? If you had kids or something it'd be understandable (although I'd wonder why you were taking your kids to a movie at midnight), but if you're an adult deal with it. Let them have their fun. Or, if you're really butt-hurt about it, ask them to stop. There's no reason to go off "tattling to the grownups"

"GASP, a DC Comics movie that isn't good."
Um, seen Batman or Superman much?
Reply to this
Superman was a seriously overrated movie, the 2nd one was entertaining, the 3rd, 4th, and Returns were terrible.
The Tim Burton Batman movies were ok, but I think people remember them being better than they really were because of the shit that came after them.
Batman Begins and the Dark Knight were both good; but they're the exception rather than the rule.

It's funny how the titties happened after the ticket thing.
Makes me wonder if the ticket guy knew something about the sexcapades going on in there.
"Are you sure? You can go see Green Lantern. (I'm pretty sure there is some trailer camping going on in Popper's penguins. You don't want to see that.)"

Okay, now I'm ready to give you more movie release dates. I'm sure not every one of them will have a midnight showing, but I thought I bring them to your attention anyway. Here are more release dates all the way through July:
June 24th: Bad Teacher/Cars 2 (3D)
July 1st: Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)/Larry Crowne/Monte Carlo
July 8th: Horrible Bosses/Zookeeper
July 15th: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 (3D)/Winnie the Pooh
July 22nd: Captain America: The First Avenger (3D)/Friends with Benefits
July 29th: Cowboys and Aliens/Crazy, Stupid, Love/The Smurfs (3D)
Of course being a Jim Carrey fan, I don't care about Green Lantern nor cared what critics say, I'm going to go see Mr. Popper's Penguins like a proud fan I am!

I believe the repetition word Jarred was looking for was "alliteration".

No fucking joke this cheered me up immensely, Jake's "review" made me laugh through almost the entire video. I mean usually I would bitch about how i knew Green Lantern would have been terrible, but now this made my week. I've had a bad one and my car was broken into a day ago and I've just been pissed off at every thing. Jake just made me laugh my ass at what is essentially 8:00 A.M. in the morning. You guys are fucking awesome.
Reply to this
What's with all of these ads interrupting the reviews? I was having fun watching that of 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' and I had to deal with the same commercial that began before the video for a second time. Is there a way this problem can be fixed?
Reply to this
Jake's and Jerrid's midnight show experience sounds as if it is right out of a comedy. I am so confident that their movie experience is going to the plot of the next "Brad and Jerrid" sketch.

Completely off topic, but I love the shot from the Green Lantern review that shows up before you click on the video. It looks like a movie poster, with Brad's half-lit face in the foreground.

"I turned around....and there were titties!"

The Green lantern looks like it was was lit by a.green lantern. It's way too green. That's my mine problem with it, well that and because it's terrible. But green and terrible is the worst.

Well.... I liked Green Lantern. And the majority of the surprisingly PACKED theater I went to see the midnight release with appeared to walk away in a good mood.
I mean, it wasn't as good as X-Men: First Class but was better than X-Men 3 or Wolverine. But that guy who played Hector Hammond.... Jesus Christ, even I'll admit that he sucked.
I'm gonna buy it when it comes out on DVD... but that said, if I'm gonna rewatch a movie I've just seen in theaters while it's still playing, it'll be Super 8. And maybe Kung Fu Panda 2. But mostly Super 8.

I can top that story. I think I was in 6th or 7th grade when our class went to visit a museum in a near city and we drove by streetcar (Bonn and Cologne are so near, they share one or two streetcar lines) back from there with half of our class, the other half went by train because it was faster for them. We shared one wagon with a couple that sat behind us. A part of the route goes underground and of course our streetcar broke down just when we were underground. So after ten minutes or so the couple got bored and we looked back - I think the lights went out inside the streetcar but the tunnel itself was still scarcely lit - at them after we heard some noises and what can I say: I witnessed the first coitus in my life.
It just went on for ten minutes or so, but you have to keep in mind that we were 12 or 13 years old, it was two or three pm, a female teacher was still with us and they didn't even try to hide it or even keep their voices down.
And no, our teacher didn't do a thing to either stop them from humping their brains nor us from staring at it for the whole time. She just looked really uncomfortable if I remember it correctly.
Good times.

You guys are going to trash Green Lantern but like Super 8? Green Lantern is one of the best comic book movies I've seen in a long time, and one of the most accurate. Yeah, there were a few goofy parts, but not as nearly as bad as say GREEN HORNET! They explained everything very well, you obviously are all too tired. Get you some sleep and then go see it again. Read the Green Lantern comics and then re-watch it. Super 8 was good, but its ending sucked. The alien agrees with the kid and just goes home? The military just says fuck it and lets the alien go? How the fuck did the alien get his blocks back? What the fuck? Lame ass ending! Seriously. Get some sleep then go see Green Lantern movie again. It's nowhere near as bad as you all make it out to be.
Reply to this
About the Green Lantern movie: if you have to read the comics to "get" the movie, you're doing it wrong. You use the movie as a platform to get into the comics; it's meant to show people outside of the comic geek fandom how awesome their superheroes are. Telling them that the only reason they don't like it is because they haven't read the comics is counter-productive; if they like it, THEN they will probably get the comics, because they like the movie a lot.
On the Super 8 ending: 1) Yes; the alien formed a psychic connection with Joe, which was explained earlier that touch links their minds together. He was able to see that his intentions were good and that not all humans were bad, hence why he agrees with him. The military let them go because they'd already had all their targeting systems fucked with, misfiring all over the damn place, and lost countless men. Now that he's finally leaving them alone, pissing him off further would probably not be in their best interest. And how he "got his blocks back", you apparently missed the part where the cube Joe had flew out of his bedroom wall and embedded itself into the water tower; supposedly, construction of a ship only requires one of those blocks to transmute all other surrounding objects into material. Why do you think all those things were flying towards the water tower at the end? They were connecting with the block, which then transformed them into working, viable parts. You claim that Super 8 didn't explain anything in it's ending, but it seemed perfectly clear to me.

I am not a super devout follower of the Green Lantern comic books and I got all of it. So did everyone I went to the movie last night with for the midnight screening and they knew even less than me.
The editing was fine. I find it funny everyone bitches and moans about the editing. It was fine. The whole training sequence was Kilowog being a dick of a drill sergeant because he was trying to prove that Hal Jordan is unworthy of the Green Lantern ring because he is just a mere human being. Then Sinestro steps in to see what Abin Sur's replacement is really made of. Hal, being the dick he can be, decides to up and quit the training abruptly and goes back to Earth. So where is the confusion again about the editing there?
The main reason I said to go read the comics is because they saw it and obviously felt there were inaccuracies. As I said before, I am not a devout follower of the Green Lantern series. With that said; I have read the origins of Hal Jordon becoming the Green Lantern and as far as I remember the story is extremely accurate. More accurate than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, more accurate than Ghost Rider, more accurate than Blade.
I thought the 3D special effects were really good. Maybe I saw it through a different 3D process. Mine was with Real 3D. I thought the story was well laid out and understandable.
Now about Super 8. I call the ending lame because they just cut from the alien dropping the kid to just going home. I think its dumb that the alien needed only one block. No I did not miss the block busting through his wall and going to the water tower. I saw all of that. I still call lame.
Why couldn't the alien have communicated and asked for their help to get all his blocks back? Why couldn't the kids be sneaking around finding the case with the blocks and helping the alien get away?
The movie made the Air Force officers look like intelligent kind people, which is all bullshit. I'm not knocking the military. I just know when a officer has it set that they're going to do something, they do it, regardless how stupid it might be.
Overall Super 8 was great climactic film. I really felt for the kids, I liked the story overall, and I thought it was great as the credits rolled they showed the little movie the kids made. I just wished they way the alien went home had been a bit different.
I understand everyone has an opinion, and I respect that, but I just feel everyone is ripping Green Lantern just for the fun of it. Brad numerous times in his video kept saying he was tired and maybe just didn't get the whole thing. That's why I said go get some sleep and see it again.
Reply to this
So to make your point, your reference three of the worst comic adaptations of all time in Ghost Rider, Blade, and Origins:Wolverine. Way to go chief.
As far as Super 8 goes, the alien needed all of his blocks to get home. During the end scene, all of the Air Force trucks containing the blocks burst open and the blocks were then pulled in to the water tower. How would you have changed the ending? The alien was hostile and wasn't going to trust any human.
And Brad may have been tired, but the rest of us were alert and we all agreed that this was not a good adaptation. They should have either used Parallax or Hector Hammond, but not both. Hammond was wasted as a secondary character. Add to that there were indeed a number of inaccuracies. Sleep had nothing to do with our overall disapproval of the film. The fact that the film wasn't that good had everything to do with it.

I've been reading comics since I was eight. I've been seriously watching films about just as long. I love Green Lantern, he's hands down my favorite character ever. That movie was a steaming piece of shit that had next to zero exposition, a crap script, the worst editing I've seen in years, and about as much character development as I allow my average turd to build up before I flush it. As far as comic book movies go that was fucking terrible. Not Elektra bad, but nothing is. And half the point of making a movie is that the average person should be able to walk in with zero knowledge and be able to enjoy the experience. You shouldn't have to have intimate knowledge of something to enjoy a film about it. At least Super 8 didn't make me want to open a vein and bleed out. Best part of Green Lantern was when I walked out of the fucking theater at the end.

There needs to be a show revolving around Jake. He is so freaking hilarious. Perfect casting for R.O.B. His angry sarcasm is just, wow.

That Poppers Penguins experience made me laugh so hard, and that normally doesn't happen with me with these midnight screenings (the last time that happened was when Jerrid went to see Kung Fu Panda 2). I'm really intrigued to see what the reaction is to Cars 2, because I'm a huge Pixar fan, and I don't know if it'll be great or not (even the first one was great).
Reply to this
Jake's story was the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while. I'm even dizzy after laughing non-stop for a good ten minutes after the video was over.
Reply to this
Honestly, that sounded kind of sick. I wouldn't mind if they were fucking in "Green Lantern," since it would probably be the only sex most of those dorks in the theater would ever see in their lives (at least in real life), but in a kid's movie? Hey, you know who might be watching the movie? (yeah, I know it's a midnight showing, but there are a lot of retarded parents out there).
Reply to this
The story itself however was hilarious.
Reply to this
Then its the retarded parents fault. Seeing a kids movie at midnight gives you the right to full on fuck, I say. There's no other reason to be at Mr. Popper's Penguins at midnight.
That is all.
Reply to this
I'm sure they picked the movie based on no one watching it. if there had been any kids watching, at midnight, then they could just walk out first. From the sounds of it they've done this before.

Hey, the whole thing about nerds not getting any is pretty much at hing of the past. There's enough nerdy chicks around these days (albeit usually on the larger side) and it's more acceptable to go both ways now, too.

lol your friend had my ears tear up with laughter.. Best vlog I've seen in a long time hehe.
Reminds me of me seeing Pirates 2 in the theater. I was sitting in the 2nd row (in a PACKED theater) and there was this couple in the front row like or or 4 seats over. And she was giving him a handjob. They had to hide it of course cause there were so many people there but it was painfully obvious what was going on. Especially near the end when they had to clean themselves up.

When my local theater does a midnight showing for a new movie, they will go ahead and do midnight showings for all the movies playing. It may be a similar scenario.

that popper's penguins review...best review yet. hahaha. i couldn't stop laughing either. i have been going to theaters for YEARS and never have I had that situation with people having sex in the theater. i wished that had happened for prince of persia when i saw that last year because geesh that movie was boring. As for Green Lantern..from looking at the trailers I had a feeling that movie would be awful. I usually have a sixth sense (or seventh sense, i don't know lost track) about trailers. when i saw that trailer with the terrible cgi I automatically went "Done!". No way I am paying ten dollars to see that mess. As far as next week goes, suppose to see Bad Teacher with my girl so hopefully it will be funny, we already had a great time watching X-Men First Class. Again Brad, you and your friends make amazing reviews and this one is going on my top favorites list for sure hahaha. Till next week than...

That last line "you never know what might happen in children's movie theaters after midnight" sounds like a tagline for a really dark sex comedy.
HILARIOUS story! I have to think that sequence of events were the handy work of employees of that theater, or at least having the management's well wishes to f*ck on the property without getting arrested.
Reply to this
I keep hearing that Green Lantern is something of a disappointment, that saddens me because GL should be a character with a rich and interesting history that I would think could be translated well to film....oh well though.
As for the Mr. Popper's Penguins: WOW!!! I'm so glad you two were witness to this out of left field event because it sounds like the movie was your typical, by the books, family cash-in. I won't lie, I was laughing really hard through out this review over Jake's story. We're talking I laughed so hard, I was getting light headed and needing to catch my breathe every few moments. If the Cars 2 review even has a shred of this real life comedy in it, it will make my weekend enormously. Good reviews from everybody.
Reply to this
Thank you very much Jake, I have not laughed that hard in about a month. But yeah, that is the only way a crappy kids movie can be made well. Hell, the only way I could sit through Bride Wars was my girlfriend promised to give me some later, and she got bored and said, "Lets just do it now since no one is even around, I'm horny ,and this movie sucks." Thank god the sex was good and lasted the whole movie.

well, I seen everyone's weird conspiracy theory of the ticket guy knowing about the couple going to have sex in Mr. Popper's Penguins, but I have my own!
And, here it is: I believe ya'll stumbled onto an underground amateur public-sex porn production company ran out of your local movie theater! And, someday one of ya'll be surfing the web and stumble across a video of those 2 hillbillies going at it and the camera is going to change angles and everyone will see the top half of Jake's head peeking over his seat watching them and the back of Jerrid's head as he spaces out watch freaking Mr. Popper's Penguin at midnight just to show it all real!
Be glad it wasn't an underground amateur public snuff-film production company! Dying would suck but while being forced to watch a crappy Jim Carey family comedy as you die would just be cruel and unusual punishment!

Been watching since Shriek of the Mutilated. This is my first comment though.
I do recommend Green Lantern Emerald Knights. It is a bit easier for a non comic reader to enjoy.

boooratt has left a new comment on the post "VLOG 6-17-11: Green Lantern Movie":
OK! I just finished watching this movie earlier today! Yes, I went to a Sunday Matinée showing but they still got a chunk of my money in that they were only doing the 3D version on Matinée so it wouldn't have matter if I waited till the nighttime showing they were still getting $8 out of me! But, back to the movie, I gotta say it was a lot better then what I'd been hearing! It had problems I didn't care for but they weren't major! the plot holes everyone keeps talking about I did notice but as also stated if you notice when Hal's eyes glaze over white the(and he's not in his mask) it's downloading info into his drain(like th Matrix)! I like to think of it like a Spidey-Sense, but with a bit more of a heads up!
Well a lot of problems in this I can see either being remedied in a sequel or in deleted scene I kinda hope exist! like it felt like some scenes were missing! Because(back to Hal at the beach/swamp just before he goes to fight Hammond the 1st time) he seems to see a bluish/green light and I'm thinking that in a sequel it could be revealed that Ganthet or one of the Gaurdains visited him and told him of the coming danger and that to could explain why he went to them before the finial battle!
Also as for Sinestro I do think it could be possible in a sequel to explain some unseen in the 1st movie stuff like he was working with Parallax as some else mentioned and I notice he lead a squad of Lanterns to fight it and he was the only survivor! I think he was working with it(now why he would when he seemed like such a hardcore Corps. member, maybe it made a deal with him as you could tell Sinestro was actually afraid the Lanterns weren't strong enough to defeat it without that yellow power ring and they were initially reluctant to make such a weapon! So, my point sorry rambling! I'm thinking it told him it'd leave his planet Korugar a loan if he's help sabotage the Gaurdains, because from the comics Sinestro was very overly protective of his home world to the point he took it over and that was why he got booted from the Corps!)
My complaints are some of the same as other! Like why did Parallax have to be a giant cloud!? Because like most I agree he looked like a turd! you gotta admit that he was brownish/black tubes swam with flecks of yellow shining threw!!! Get it? like a corny of turd! Why couldn't he'd been like the comic? in it he was like a mix of the Xenomorphs from Aliens and a praying mantis with bits of a Asian dragon thrown in for that magical effect! that's been more scarier even though I do admit the giant toothed mouth and Clancy Drown voice and yellow glowing eyes were creepy they would've looked better on something not attached to the leftover Gah Lak Tus effect from Fantastic Four: 2 Rise of the Silver Surfer!!! my only other compliant is just som I got with most comicbook movies ingeneral and that is why does the villain gotta die at the end al

I got with most comicbook movies ingeneral and that is why does the villain gotta die at the end always!? Hammond was not that evil he deserved to die so quick! I just hate it when that happens! sure it might be a cold day in hell when a comicbook movie franchise reuse a villain in more than one movie that isn't X-Men or the Dark Knight series! I'd profered if somehow Paralax just took back his powers from Hammond and left him all deformed and crippled and we got to see him in like a post credit scene in the hospital like in the books with the brace on his head helping keep hit from killing him like the Elephantman and just give a small wink or hint he's still got a little power left like they did with Magneto in... nevermind bad exsample... Bullseye in Daredevil... the directo's cut not theatrical! one!!!
I do also want to comment that I did like that whole Hotwheels Race Track construct rescur that I never would've saw coming!
Post a comment.

Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't used my precious eyesight to see Green Lantern.

Jake and Jerrid's view of Mr. Poppers Penguins was fucking hilarious! Hardest I've laughed in a while. If Jake ever comes to Maryland I'd be happy to break him of his nine month fast haha.

Why the only slutty comment has to be from someone named Samantha like me?
My hubby is laughing his ass off.
Man, if I could I would send y'all a bottle of Bilí (quenepa liquor from PR, illegal), you guys make me laugh so much. I'm exploring the site until another snob video comes out and I'm really liking what I'm seeing.
God Damn it's too hot in PR!!! (100+ degrees)I'm waiting to the movie to be released here (supposedly next week, let's see).

1. This is what DC gets for stealing Ryan Renyolds from doing Deadpool
2. Maybe DC now will make their own studio like Mavel.
3. On July 14, do this on the link

That was an amazing story my cheeks turned into balloons and skin to red from laughing so hard. I'm sure Jake is going to try find another magical night like that for what ever movie he'll see.

Hey guys I watched Green Lantern and I did like it. There are usually two camps those that have no frame of reference to whats going on and comic fan (those who read the book). I havent watched the book but I did see two fairly recent cartoon movies about Green Lantern so I knew enough to know what was going on but not enough to be bothered by any changes.

"The ring goes ding when there's stuff"? Did she just quote Dr. Who while bashing the Green Lantern movie?
I think I'm in love.

As a moderate GL fan and a big DC fan.. yeah.. that was very disappointing. The comparison I keep saying is if your parents spent all the money to take you to Disneyland, take you on the half assed skyway ride and maybe one other, maybe take a photo with one character, then head right to the exit and leave.
I could have even overlooked bad and dated effects if the story had been.. anything coherent and recognizable. Yeah, they stuck like a full or 2/3 of a trilogy into this one film. And it was edited for crap.

Oh and that Mr Poppers Penguins story is freaking priceless. That's funnier than the movie itself, I'm sure.

When Jake said "Titties", I spewed Dr. Pepper all over my monitor!

For me, if Popper's Penguins was done a few years earlier, it could've been a Don Knotts movie.
P.S. Green Lantern's the the worst comic book movie in my opinion.

I'm still waiting for Jake's paragraphs about the experience at Mr. Popper's Penguins that he promised. It seems like it will be interesting.
