Midnight Screenings: "Final Destination 5," "Glee 3D," and "30 Minutes or Less"
Brad and Jillian see if anything different actually happens in the new Final Destination.
Then Jerrid and Brian get free stuff going to see "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie."
And Boyd and Sarah check out "30 Minutes or Less."

Why do I get the feeling that there's going to be a Brad Tries...Ass Burgers sometime this weekend?

Yeah, I thought of Death Note too when I saw the FD 5 trailer. And thought it was totally out of place in that universe.
Glee...what more do I have to say?
I don't like Aziz Ansari, so I don't think I'll be seeing 30 Minutes or Less. I only like him on Parks and Recreation, and that's because he's there in 2-3 minute bursts. A little of him goes a long way with me. I couldn't handle a full movie of him.

In today's video, the part of Jillian will be played by Brad and the part of Jerrid will be played by Jillian.

Phew! Thanks Sarah. I was afraid there wouldn't be a priest reference in this Vlog! =D

For some reason, it was strangely hilarious to me watching Brad and Jillian periodically open and close their car doors in near-perfect unison without even breaking conversation.

I thought that was adorable.

I don't think I've ever been so uncomfortable watching a movie review before. Jesus, Jerrid, stop talking about Aspergers!
Oh, The Safety Dance was a dream sequence in the show by the way, not that that would come across in the movie

I have Aspergers, and I was laughing my ass of the entire review.

I knew that Final Destination 5 would end up being every fucking movie in the goddamn series. I lol'ed so much at the "ass burgers" thing. Good ol Jerrid for ya. I have been looking forward to 30 Minutes or Less for ages now. Glad to hear that it turned out to be a great movie. I loved Zombieland and Pinapple Express so I am so glad that it turned out like that.

I will never be able to forgive glee for what they did to "rocky horror picture show." I mean, a chick playing Dr Frankenfurter? thats like a hatchet to the fucking gonads. all respect I had for them went down the drain.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers and I find myself quite good at reading people. So there, maybe I'm just Bipolar. I hope thats it, really don't wanna be grouped in with Chris Chan.

Not gonna go indepth on this, but don't worry. He doesn't have it. As for your situation, it varies for one, and for two you can practice and become better at it, so you might have it but just be well practiced.
Regardless, this was a hilarious review.
Reply to this
Here's another person who has been diagnosed with Aspergers. Look, Jerrid, I just cannot believe I haven't recognized "Ass Burgers" before. All's well, I assure you, as far as I'm concerned, for I know very well that each and every moron who is compelled towards ruining a kid's life needlessly for their supposed social undoings is a fucking drug-peddling quack. Thanks, my friend, for the comic idea - from a cartoonist.
Reply to this
Hey guys, great reviews as always. Just so you know Jerrid, I have Aspergers (although I pronounce it As-per-jers), and I wasn't offended in the slightest, I can understand you thinking she said Assburgers.
Anyway, loving the Midnight Screening series, but I'm annoyed you're only doing summer movies.
I'm personally looking forward to both the Fright Night remake and Conan the Barbarian, and for those of you thinking it's rated PG-13, check out the red band trailer on Youtube, it's awesome. The movie will certainly be better than Transformers 3, which by the way Brad, I agree with you 100% on, worst movie of the year so far by a mile.

I was watching "Cowboys and Aliens" opening night and a group of people clapped when Doc shot the alien.

Who over 17 jokes about baby deaths?
Reply to this
oh please, like they've never shown people trying to kill babies in movies. Hell that was the whole plot basis in "Willow." In "Warlock" he kills a kid to gain his power back so its not really far off to imagine that they could have shown the guy going for a kid to maximize the years he'd get or whatever. Some people REALLY need to lighten up
Reply to this
It is the most logical route to take in this film. Plus, Brad is an exploitation master who has probably seen worse stuff then children/babies being killed off on film.
Reply to this
Who the singer they talk about in the end of the FD5, and who's Ryan Michel when they say the guy is not-Ryan?
Reply to this
Just keep in mind that Aspergers is a neurological condition related to autism, not a disease. I'm diagnosed with it myself and actually my mother made a documentary about all the different elements for autism awareness and my life with it. We've been going to different conferences, been on NBC News, and been doing all kinds of stuff with it. If you're interested Brad, our website is http://transitionsmovingforward.com/. Might even help educate Jerrid a little bit. Lol. Anyway, great reviews. Been trying to start a review blog myself (reviewed "Cowboys & Aliens" not to long ago and now working on "Rise of the Planet of the Apes") and looking forward to what remains of the summer reviews.

Jerrid,
Not cool, dude. I love your random comments, but sometimes you need to think before you speak. Asperger's Syndrome is a social disorder that many people try to overcome in social interactions. Besides, "Community" made the same joke as you and I didn't find it funny in that situation either.
Just....think before you speak, bro.
Reply to this
He apologized for mishearing the name. Jeez, he even made a disclaimer saying he wasn't making fun of aspies. It was an honest mistake and a sincere apology.
Just.... think before you flame, bro.

I'm so sorry, but I was cracking up so bad at the whole 'Ass Burgers' part of the review.
Reply to this
Friday the 13th has a simpler pot - guy in the woods kills people.
The first one works, it's sheer terror.
The second one, yeah you kinda had to jump the shark a bit to get kids back into the camp. Plus the weird twist that Jason's mom has.
The third one - Jesus Christ, what is it with this damn camp? Why do kids want to stay here after they hear of others getting butchered? At that point you may as well do what Film Brain and Welshy do, stop referring to the teenage campers by name. call them Dead Meat #1, Dead Meat #2, and so on.
Oh yeah, there's the 3-D angle and a kid gets hassled by his peers for having a condom in a velcro wallet.
Friday the 13th 4 to before Jason X, the producers said, "why waste writing out a plot? let's just turn it into a big human sausage factory"
Jason X - MAJOR Shark Jump! It's such a shark jump, even the shark is jumping another shark!
Freddy vs. Jason - Works out in a weird way and where the formula is later copied in AVP of the Predator working with the humans, Jason helps save his machete fodder from Freddy and at the same time pulls a Spock from Wrath of Khan and commits an act of self-sacrifice.
I guess that also references Terminator 2 - Judgment Day, now that I think about it.

Hey, Jerrid, I'm an artistic ass-burger! LOL #AutisticJoke
Seriously though. I found your idiotic behavior at that particular moment SO fucking hilarious! I had to re-watch the video for a second time, and I rarely do that for ANY video.
Jerrid, you and Jake are my favorite midnight screening people in these videos. And I even LOVE when you and Brad do fake hate-each-other videos, by the way. Keep up the hilarious work, man.
Reply to this
My mom works with kids with physical and mental disabilities. I have been around people with all kinds of conditions since I was a child. I wasn't offended. Aspergers is sadly a funny name. The condition isn't, but the name is.
Also I think Jerrid was trying to say that his hatred of the movie wasn't as strong as their love of the movie. It was said in an odd way, but I am pretty sure that is what he was saying, if you didn't get it.

I've been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Having AS basically means you're an extremely meticulous person, kind of like obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's not a form of autism; it's on the same spectrum autism is on (it's on the opposite end). Having autism means you're mentally retarded. Perhaps it's debilitating in regards to my social life, but then, I really don't care because I'm also a misanthrope. And no, I can't talk to girls, but I prefer "The Hand" anyways, because it always knows exactly what I need. It understands me. And girls are evil, anyways, and smelly. I'd also say about 80% of people on this board claiming to have AS are self-diagnosed, and are basically just nerds who play too much XBox. It's quite rare. I was diagnosed by two psychiatrists and have a certificate saying so.
Reply to this
dude, you're funny(not being sarcastic). I'm sure you'll change your mind on girls someday and by then maybe things will be different. "The Hand" gets old!
Reply to this
I don't think "30 mins or less" was based on true events. I mean, the event in question actually had the bomb killing the man involved with robbing the bank. It was later revealed that Brian Wells was an accomplice in that crime that he died in.
Reply to this
Yea, after hearing the review it just sounds like a comedy that was "inspired" by that case. I remember when I first heard about this movie I was thinking "That's a pretty fucking dark story to turn into a comedy".
There's a really good article about the original story though, for anyone who's curious: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/12/ff_collarbomb/all/1

Please tell me someone's eye pops out at the screen a la Friday the 13th Part 3.
Death porn is what I refer to this.
Also, what really bothers me is that why do the protagonists get clairvoyance. Who or what gives it to them? If you think about it, Death is not a villain, just a natural occurrence. So what is the anti-death?
That's something to think of...
Better to watch Dead Like Me. =)
Reply to this
What also bugs me is the second movie where they talk about creating new life from the doomed, they never fully explore it.
Also, if death was so adamant with killing people to make crazy elaborate death scenes, why not aneurisms?

From this day forth, Jerrid will always be "Old Man Foiles" to me.

Jerrid: I have Asperger's, and I accept your apology. Let's be honest: It's an awkward name. (They're proposing to phase it out in the next edition of the DSM-V, the manual psychologist use to diagnose mental disorders, and just lump it in with "autism spectrum disorders.")
Reply to this
While Friday the 13th IS a formulaic series, it's still so much better than the Final Destination series that it's not even fair to compare the two.
Like Brad says, every FD movie is literally the same movie. Main character has horrifying vision. Main character intervenes to prevent disaster. Cast gets sequentially killed in cartoonish ways. Main character and love interest are the only two to survive and seemingly beat Death for good, but SURPRISE: they don't. It really is one of the most aggravating franchises ever.
The Friday the 13th movies AT LEAST try to change settings, and even swap the primary villain at times. Each movie is a different story with recurring themes. Yeah, all but the original can summarized as "Jason kills teenagers," but that's if you make a VERY brief summary. That's a far cry from Final Destination, where the plot is always exactly the same from beginning to end no matter how detailed you get.

VIVA LA ASPIE!!! Lol.
Reply to this
Yea, I know no less then 5 people who have been diagnosed with it, including one guy I used to date who DEFINITELY had it. Some of the other people I know diagnosed with it... it could just be shyness or social awkwardness, though.
I think Asperger's is this decade's ADHD, something that kids are being over diagnosed with. I mean just look at the number of Aspies this comments section brought out alone. At least, unlike ADHD, they can't just peddle a bunch of pills in response to it, though.
Personally, I think, we'll eventually come to the conclusion that all of these "disorders" are really just natural variations in how peoples' brains develop. People with ADHD or Asperger's or other "disorders" aren't really abnormal, but are just wired differently, and we as society will just have to adapt to that.

Actually, just one more time. Neurological difference relating to autism. Not a disease. Lol.

Jerrid, a coworker of mine had a very similar episode in finding out what Asperger's is, so no judgement on my part. Did not stop me from laughing at your expense though.

No offence to Brad but he is totally being a Cinema Snob in this vid lol His flippant tone, his folded arms, dismissive gestures etc. I think he's being a bit too harsh about the fact Gillian finds these films entertaining.

Jane Lynch (and a few other things) were cut from the theater release of the Glee Movie, but are supposed to be on the DVD. Ryan Murphy decided that was the best way to go. (Because Ryan Murphy's mind is a strange and scary place.)
I work with kids with Autism and Aspergers, and I was cracking up. I can see why he would hear that.

Having been diagnosed with Aspergers I still find this hilarious. Even during my diagnosis I couldn't stop laughing like the doctor made a joke.
Yes I'd like a t-shirt please also I'd buy one hahaha.

I'm pretty a lot of people have had that misunderstanding when they heard the word Aspergers. Watching Jerrid's genuine amusement at this was very enjoyable.
Reply to this
I'm sure it's already been mentioned. and maybe argued over... as I'm still in the middle of watching the video.
but, Asperger's syndrome is actually at the top-end of autism disorder.
Reply to this
How about saying "difference" instead of "disorder?" Disorder kind of makes it feel like "less than others" sort of.
Reply to this
Because it's a disorder. People with the diagnosis, like myself and my god I never want to take those damn tests again, are not in alignment with neurotypical individuals in many areas. This includes some increased abilities, some deficiencies, and some simply 'different' outlooks.

i have aspergers. Its a mid form but I know what it is like to have soical problems and other issues from it

Its crazy how many people have Aspergers on this website. Self-diagnosed maybe? i mean like 50% of the comments people left have it thats like waaaay way too high for any random group of people. just sayin i think its weird thats all.

Jerrid, you are not the first one to mishear that name... "ass burgers" is a common nickname for Asperger syndrome on 4chan.
Reply to this
I just disagree with you Brad, I think the films don't need major changes; something "different" doesn't mean change the entire dynamic. They add in some new things in each film. I went to the film expecting the same movie. I thought the plot had better depth than the original even. I also felt the effects in this film were much better than the previous installments as well, not just the 3D compared to FD4 but also the great uses of traditional effects compared to CGI. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Yagher's name pop up in the credits (wasn't him though, he's working on Bones still). I mean, what would you consider different enough but not breaking of the established rules? Because frankly, I point out the examples you gave of Friday the 13th RUINED the series. Jason is an alien iguana? He goes to New York for fifteen minutes? The fact this film was a *spoiler ending fact here* was a pretty nice twist, and critically it seems the way of escaping death was brought up before and just misunderstood in part 2. It seems to me the Final Destination series is a fan series, but has ample opportunity to bring in non fans into it's fold. If people would stop looking at it like a slasher film and take it at face value I think they could see where I'm coming from when I write this. For many of us, the death scenes (although inventive) are a secondary thing behind the rules. I like the fact this film has rules and it's fun to see people question and attempt to break them, trying to find loopholes, and keeping a lot of things in the dark opens up the films for a lot more development in the future. Do I think there will be a six and seventh film, like they were talking about on Bloody Disgusting? Yes, and I certainly hope there will be. It'll be nice for them to eventually explain what Bludworth meant by some of comments. Allow me to digress though to my original point, if they were to do anything different with these films like you're talking about it would ruin the dynamic of the films in my opinion. Keep it simple, and make small waves rather than huge splashes.
Minor spoiler alert:
While I still have about 900 characters left to my post I'd like to also point three major things: 1. The chronology of Bludworth's character, the three accidents he was questioned about, and their importance in the timeline. 2. The fact Bludworth tried to explain the kill or be killed aspect before in part two, but was misconstrued by the characters. 3. What Bludworth said about how come he knows so much about what he's talking about. How do you know a sequel won't explain that? Maybe... he's a survior and not Death? Explains why he suddenly disappears at one point, why he knows so much, and why he has "seen" this before and why he knows the kill or be killed thing works; the Groundhog Day effect, he knows everything because he's been through it before. If they did a movie on that, would that be different enough to satisfy you, Brad? Just some food for thought.

You put more thought into this comment than the writers did for any of the sequels =)

I have Aspergers, and I wasn't offended. It was hilarious dude
Reply to this
I'm not officially diagnosed, but I am on a waiting list, and I know enough about Asperger Syndrome to practically diagnose myself with it.
That said, I think Jerrid has worse social skills than I have in some ways.
"Ass burgers" is a very common mishearing (so much so that it became the title of a love song by MC Frontalot), and it's unfortunate that the German surname Asperger sounds so much like ass burger when americanized. In its original German pronounciation, it doesn't sound at all like ass burger, but pronounciations of names tend to shift between languages.
I'm not offended. I'm more amused by how Jerrid just keeps digging himself deeper into the hole of tactlessness by trying to explain himself. It's kind of adorable.
Reply to this
Laughed so hard at jerrids comment about asperbergers hahahaahahhaah
Reply to this
I was slightly offended by Jerrid's comment, at first, because of how it came across. (Yes, I am another person with Asperger's Syndrome, diagnosed at 6 years old.) And even as Jerrid continued to laugh, just because "Haha, it sounds like 'ass burgers'" I continued to feel offended. But that's only because I used to be taunted with that mispronunciation, by people who intentionally knew what they were doing.
However, I can see where poor Jerrid is coming from. Any accent that has softens the "P" to a "B" sound, like how "T" can become "D" ("we godda get ouda here!"), makes it sound like "Ass burgers", so it's a natural mistake, to think somebody said it, because they ARE saying it wrong. It'd be like laughing because someone saying "Parkinson's" said it with an accent so it came out as "Barking son's" or something. At which point, it's their fault for not enunciating or pronouncing it right.
My advice is just add the German accent to the "sp" so it sounds like "Ashpergers". Or if you're gonna be pronouncing it in a more Anglicized way, say "Asperjers". That way, people like Jerrid who hear it for the first time won't end up hearing it wrong.
tldr: I was offended at first, but I got a sense of humour about it, after thinking about how Jerrid would have come about that mistake. All is forgiven, yay, funny review continues.

so 70% of the snobs viewers are ass burgers. lol the comment section reminds me of the network's "I'm mad as hell" speech. Come forth and claim your title as asperberger.

I liked the final shot, because for any main character to survive a Final Destination movie is just unacceptable.
my opinion
Reply to this
My jaw dropped when I heard Brian and Jerrid mention about the kid in the wheelchair not actually being disabled. I have never seen an episode of Glee, so I may be taking this out of context, but I felt offended because it seems the casting people were unable to find someone that was genuinely disabled to play the part. It also makes it feel like he was there to fill that niche as the token disabled kid. I apologise if I have offended any Glee fans or have taken this out of context but I feel that if you are unwilling to or can't find a disabled actor to play the role of a disabled person, do not have a disabled character in your show xoxo
Reply to this
Here's yet another person with Asperger's saying:
I seriously cracked up at Jerrid's comment, and I DO wish that the syndrome was named after someone with a less hilarious surname. People are so touchy. ;P
I like to call it Asparagus Syndrome.

Jillian how dare you not like Friday the 13th and compare it to TFD franchice! All kiddin't aside I'd watch TFD5 but I can wait to it's on dvd!

30-Minutes or Less is the only of these movie I'd want to see as it looks halarious! Glad to see it went so great for ya'll!

Really, just watch 1000 ways to die on spike tv for deaths. That show is 30 mins long and its FREE. Really I saw the previews for FD5 and all I could think of is 1000 ways >< it has 5 seasons out already so yea FD is not needed anymore for that BS long winded deaths. But then again I did not like any FD I watched.

I think the reason the comments are filled with ass pies is because they want to let Jerrid know they weren't offended.
