Also another part of the song appears in Nightvision, the track just before Strobe, its really an excellent piece/scene, much improved on the comic version.
Woah, that shit me up when it kicked in
It's a more comic-y version for sure, awesome all the same. Plus Marshmallow is the same thing too. Fuck, this is one awesome album.
edit: Fuck so is Flying Home. Jeez. I haven't bought an album or any music for that matter in years and this I pick up for a tad under £8. Best. Purchase. Ever. God, I'm not even a music person. Like at all.

I did not expect this to have a great OST. Like, at all. Going in my collection.
Got a pic infront of the Red Mist Mustang the other week. So awesome that we have a silly little film studio in town.
I kinda wish I knew what happened to it, it dissapeared a while ago. If I had a decent paying job I would of wandered round and made an offer on it. In the mean time I can waste my low reserves of cash pre ordering the Blu Ray and counting down the days.
The movie came out today. The bluray looks fantastic, though I'm a little disappointed to see the 18 minutes of extra film didn't get put in.
What kind of special features did make it in? Assuming it's more then just the just the movie...
There's a good commentary by the Director, Vaughn, and a making of the comic that has Millar, Romita Jr, the inker, and the colorist talking about what they did.
Okay, it's all pretty typical stuff you'd expect on any given movie. Making Of. Commentary. Comic book stuff. Art gallery. The only thing different is a commentary mode where the movie is interspersed with shots of the production.
I think the deconstruction could have persisted had Hit-Girl been excised. Kick-Ass's YouTube inspires a rather unstable vigilante and the kid has to deal with the morbid scenario.
It'd be a very different movie, but a deconstruction doesn't have to end in half an hour with "Stupid kid dies."
That said,the movie still turns into a SOLID and enjoyable version of what it was deconstructing.

I've got to agree with BM about Defendor.
The trailers and box art and everything else make it out to be this over the top kick ass-esque comedy. I think it was marketed that way so that kick ass fans would check it out.
I didn't enjoy the movie. Although, in all fairness, it has a horrible audio sync problem due to crappy production. Either that or my disc was just bad.

There was no audio issue when I watched Defendor.
And how do you not like that movie? It is totally fantastic. Marbles and bees, man. Marbles and bees!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. The first few minutes I was wondering if this was going to turn into some sort of Super Hero American Pie meets Kill Bill but I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be something else (keep in mind I haven't read the comic). I also have to agree with earlier posts the score is GREAT! I'm unsure if I will enjoy the comic as much as I did the movie however as it seems at least from what others have said to be much darker and violent than the movie and lacks some of the movies humor. I'll probably end up checking it out either way as it is the source material.
Yeah I think this movie is quite awesome as well. The only part I was not a huge fan of is
the first person night vision. I think it is starting to grow on me the second time around but I think it could have maybe been done better. A small complaint since that rescue scene is probably my favorite in the whole movie. Nic Cage on fire screaming something I can't understand as Hit Girl capped everyone was pretty awesome.

Finally got to see this llast night when my friend and I rented it on DVD. OUr local movie monopoly played the hell out of the trailers, then didn't play it at all until they finally started showing it a month or so later in the $1.50 theater. Which was weird.
Still... this movie was surprisingly good. Much better than I thought it would be. And I expected it to be good.

Yeah, for some reason Carmike Cinemas didn't carry it, and some others didn't as well. I don't know why.
I watched this movie last night. It was great. I really only had two issues with the movie and they were both semi-minor.
Big Daddy's ex partner was kinda hamfisted into the movie. The comic book explanation was good but "One of us is still a cop you know" didn't really satisfy my curiosity as to how he found their storehouse.
And the fact that BD/HG let RM and KA straight to their safe house. You'd figure with how careful they were that would meet them at a neutral site.
Other than those two minor complaints, the rest of it was fantastic. I loved the pacing, I loved the dialogue, even the generic teenage drama stuff was pretty good. The girl that played Hit Girl was great. Nic Cage was awesome. His delivery was just so strange that it worked for a costumed vigilante. Over all, it was a great movie.
And I read the plot on Wiki for this Defendor movie you guys are talking about and I want to check that out too.

They stole a track from the 28 Days Later soundtrack.

I finally saw this movie last night and I enjoyed it (my dad bought the DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy set).
I got kind of misty-eyed when Nic Cage was being set on fire and screaming encouragement out to Hit Girl. Probably because I was watching it with my dad.
And the second thing is that I was totally blown away by the jet pack with the Gatling gun attached. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME" and my dad said "I KNOW"
Oh no, I liked it quite a bit. But I went in after listening to a review where they blasted it, complaining about all the funny bits literally being in the trailer already. When I saw it, I realized it was never intended to be a comedy at all, but rather a fairly serious drama, and the trailer completely fucked that up.

Yeah, Carmike is headquartered here and owns all the movie theaters in town.

I really was saved by never seeing the trailer. I just saw that it was Woody as a Superhero and rented it. What else does one need to know?

This. Based on the trailer, I was expecting a straight up comedy. I was surprised not only by the dramatic moments, but by how well done they were. It ended up being way better than I was expecting, and I was expecting a pretty good film.
As for Defendor; I don't know. I went in without expectations, and just didn't really like it. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was just uncomfortable (which may have been intentional).
For me, the main character not being able to understand the implications of what he was doing ruined it (though again, that may have been part of the intended point).
I watched it today, Defendor that is. Pretty darn good. As for your point TL
I honestly think he fully understood the morality of his actions, like he knew he was doing the right thing. Just not that he was going about it the right way. Kat's dad is a good example. Most if not all of us would love to do that to a peado but we'd call the cops instead. He feels its his personal responsibility to do something about it, we would just ignore it or call the cops.
I hated this movie. Hated it. I'm not the sort of person to be squicky, but this movie occasionally made me wince and not in a way that I found pleasurable. I think it had to do with the tone of the movie's violence: Whatching Big Daddy and Hit Girl be worse people than the gangster they were going after kinda removes any morale pretext the movie has. And it isn't like our main character is any better, proving that the best way to get into a girl's heart is to betray her and lie about who you are. If this movie wanted to be lighthearted fine, it could be redic violent, but probably should stick to PG13. When you're an R, and a hard R at that, for violence...then the humor and tone make the action disturbing rather than entertaining. If it was trying to be a satire, it's a failure. If it wasn't then it's just kind of icky.
The movie did everything to get across that Big Daddy and Hit Girl are terribly fucked up people, even if the people they were after were equally horrible.

The moral of the store got to you just fine. These costume freaks fucking batshit and disturbed. They should disturb you. That is the point. If you were going into to it thinking it was going to be a normal super hero movie where everything turns out great, the heroes are the people we want to be and so on, you went to the wrong movie.

You need to watch Defendor, if you haven't yet. Thats a real superhero movie. And Woody Harrelson is amazing as the hero.
