Freakin hilarious. pretty close to the 0rigional but some parts are a little different. Billy Bob Thornton is great as buttermaker/boilermaker. anyone else seen it, what you think.

going to pull the original DVD out right now. Buttermaker is the only thing I remember.

Just don't see how this can be as good as the original...seems like the kids woud have to be more PC, at least with the name calling...

along with "boilermaker" you will also hear "butterchurner" and "beermaker"

but this is my favorite (well, favorite I can post on a family website)

quote:
Buttermaker: There is one thing I forgot to tell you guys. It's a legal rule: cups and supporters. Gotta be worn at all times.Either you wear 'em or either you don't wear 'em and you don't play.

Jose: Yo no me voy a poner esto! Esto duele!

Buttermaker: What? What are you saying?

Ogilvie: I've been brushing up on my Spanish of late, and I think he is saying something about, you know, his being Catholic, and it's a sin.

I liked the movie but it was more watered down than the first. A few examples:


************Spoilers***********









-Tanner's infamous "n$ggers, spics, jews" line was not present.

-Kelly Lee doesn't smoke.

-Buttermaker hands out non-alcoholic beer at the end of the movie.

I'm sure I'm biased because I remember watching the original as a kid, but the first one is better and Mathow plays the role better than Thornton.

such a funny movie, i loved it

I didn't think it was anywhere near as funny as the original, but I also didn't think it was going to be. It wasn't bad, as remakes go. Definitely watered down, but I guess they didn't want to risk offending anyone. A shame, really. It had potential to be VERY funny coming from the writers of Bad Santa.

Not exactly about the remake but a good BNB resource.

You know it. It's the first movie I remember seeing in the movie theatre, at the age of 4.

Funny story, Jackie Earl Haley is in a band in SA, or was. A couple of years ago, before they came on, a friend of mine started a "Let them play chant." He came out and said, "You guys are so original." He didn't care for it too much. I then called him "Shorty" and he punched a time clock. Just kidding.

The theater I was in was packed with little kids. There was a Birthday party for some 6/7 year olds. Aparently some parents never saw the origional. I don't have kids, I didn't care. It was great, I love Billy Bob.

One other thing that slightly hacked me off, I guess it's okay for a black kid to racially insult a white kid, but not the other way around. As posted earlier, Tanner's line was not in this version, but Ahmad (or whatever the name is) clearly calls a kid from the Yankees a cracker towards the end.

I don't remember that from the original.
BMX Bandit
How long do you want to ignore this user?
does the term "cracka" really offend you?
roveram
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I didn't say I was offended, just "slightly hacked" that the racism only went one way. I'm all for equal oppurtunity offending.
BMX Bandit
How long do you want to ignore this user?
so you aren't mad that whites are insulted, only that its not proper to insult blacks or other groups?
roveram
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Right. I say in a movie like this racially insult everybody or nobody. But that's just me. Not a big deal.
BMX Bandit
How long do you want to ignore this user?
thats part of the reason I really don't want to see the new one. just don't see how it can even come close to the other one.

Finally saw it. Average at best, basically a waaaay watered down Bad Santa (which I also didn't like). Billy Bob keeps drawing me in, but I usually leave disappointed.

The original is much better.
