"I can't talk long, I gotta poo."
Words that defined a generation
I actually was going to post that and wouldn't you know it, I scroll down and you beat me to it. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who embraces powerful words.
He said poo.
He said can't talk long
I'd bet that's how Fred Durst talks in his daily life.
Oh hi Mark
I think John Travolta just wanted to find a way to make people stop calling "Battlefield Earth" his worst movie. And I also think that he just succeeded.
I honestly didn’t even think it was that bad. People are way over hyping it. It’s basically just a mediocre film.
I thought he managed to do that with Trading Paint.
Gotti was 1000x worse than battlefield earth. he’s had 4 or 5 worse movies that that. it was mediocre
Damn, I may have to take another look at Battlefield Earth then. I didn't realize it was that much better than so many of his other movies. History may even judge it as one of his hidden gems ;)
I don’t know. Battlefield Earth was this huge blockbuster of a movie that has been cemented in internet culture as one of the best bad movies out there compared to all the other low budget stinkers that Travolta has been involved with in the past few years, which in tern will all probably be forgotten as time moves on.
John Travolta did not watch Tropic Thunder, and if he did, he learned nothing.
I just wish we HAD a sequel to Tropic Thunder. Most awesome movie of 2008, besides Iron Man.
Never go full ....
@@shawnfields2369 Nah, theyll probably ruin it.
@@thesorrow4664 They should change the 'r word' to Travolta, as in 'Never go full Travolta'
Simple Jack 2 - Jack’s Back !
"Oh, in case you were wondering... yes, the housekeeper's dead body has been lying in the back yard for two days now." 😂 Comedy genius!
Anywhere I’ve lived in Florida, turkey vultures would be on that corpse in an hour or two, guaranteed!
She was doing a night cleaning 🤣
Never thought I'd ever see John Travolta choking out a guy in an alleyway while wearing a Hawaiian shirt but here we are. . . . .
Pfft. You should live round here. Happens all the time.
Ever hear the story told by the Cali gym bunny about the time Travolta showed up at the gym late one nite and tried to cruise him. And Mr. Bunny was so nieve about it and kept saying that Travolta was really nice?
Surprised we didn't get it in Face Off
You didn’t?
Well somebody has never been in West Hollywood at 4 in the morning.
Stalking is when two people go out for a date but only one of them know about it.
Daniel-Day Lewis being one of the greatest actors of our generation and winning three oscars is nothing but a hack compared to the brilliant performance of Travolta’s deer antler and piano scene!
Travolta drinks DDL's milkshake.
Someone should have told Travolta "Everybody knows you never go full r****d" ~ Kirk Lazarus Tropic Thunder.
One of the best stalker esque films is ‘One Hour Photo’ where Robbin Williams plays a loner who works as a photo developer & has a strange obsession with one family.
I just find the idea that we had to wait an hour or even a day for photos completely implausible.
Yes, that was a good film
Yes, similar to but so much better than this movie
Yea that was a good movie for sure
@@thursoberwick1948 you think that’s bad I do remember there been a time when you had to go back after 24 hours.
I actually saw an interview with Travolta about this movie, he actually was the one who came up with the " I gotta poo " line,
Is that why they call him Chocolate Mousse?
Thing is, that's what something with autism is highly likely to say. They don't always understand what's socially acceptable, so although the line seems silly its actually quite realistic! It's a touch that goes unnoticed
That corpse on the lawn tells me that the home owners being billed by that landscaper for hours he's not working
You know, it would have been more interesting if the movie kept circling around the fact that John Travoltas character just legitimately wanted the actors attention and friendship. An actor who is having horrible times and this fan keeps getting in the way at the wrong times. The Fan's disability keeps him from seeing how he is affecting the situation and his pursuit of the actor makes things worse. It would have been a story more about the disability or the actor coming to terms with his own life ( almost like an I am Sam type story), something interesting, rather than some weird and incoherent thriller and two psychos.
That would be a good movie... I hate to admit until right now, I hadn't even heard about this movie. But I'd watch the one you're talking about.
Cool Membership Badge!
💚🤗🤗💚
but that requires EMPATHY... fred durst only knows cocaine.
Yeah.
@@SaddestClown And a good writer.
Lockdown has been tough. One minute you are being trained to conquer galaxies and next minute you are having to cut your own hair with blunt pliers.
You made me laugh like a dork who just got high for the first time.
@@PeanutButterZombie00 your comment gave me a good giggle too mate
He'll never live that galaxy conquering scene down. Tommy Wiseau laughs at Travolta's acting.
That 'conquer galaxies' sounded spontaniously with his voice in my head.
Oh man...he's brainwashing me one bad movie at a time
@@aa11ct9 it's the way he says "spell your name" that still haunts me
The timing when you said "Its hard to take this movie serious" couldn't have been better since you said it when John Travolta happened to be running while wearing the deer antlers!😂🤣
What makes Travolta's performance worse is that his son, who died a few years before, was autistic.
Jet Travolta .... his wife Kelly Preston died ⚰ too.
Maybe his son wasn't stereotypical like this awful portrayal so he couldn't use him as inspiration
The haircut is so nightmarish I’m surprised it’s not a boss in Dark Souls.
Imaging the hitbox is giving me nightmares.
Just roll and stab
I....I got that reference!
He's bald, it's a movie prop.
Lmao thank you for that laugh sir
I would like to see John Travolta playing that ‘English Bobby’ trying to solve a murder in an otherwise normal LA noir type thriller.. It would be great seeing him turning up in scenes saying “Elllo , Elllo. What’s all this then?’’” to the Private Eye and so forth . Great potential.
"I guess Moose just doesnt understand that when someone is bleeding out of their head and not moving, its not good." Lmfao
The biggest sin of that movie is that it is very meanspirited and inhumane, there isn't an ounce of empathy in it.
Surprisingly, travoltas hair is probably the best part about this movie.
Yeah, looks like he improvised using a skunk hide.
Reminds me of the dumb Rick who hangs out with Gerry on Rick & Morty.
'Unsurprisingly', don't you mean? My immediate question is, What did you expect to out-act the hair-piece?
@@SaitohYatate 😂
This movie was amazing! And so quotable”popycock!” “I wish Freddy crougar would come and kill you in your sleep.” Perfect!
One of John Travolta’s worst movies. Reading that I was like Mark already covered Battlefield Earth awhile ago lol...🤔😂
A true optimist might say: "You can always do worse."
I still say A Love Song for Bobby Long is Travolta's worst movie.
The Boy in the Bubble is pretty bad too.
As is Saturday Night Fever
@Luis Collado Usually people have a career trajectory. Nic Cage certainly has and he's on the slide. With Travolta he has a weird knack of following a great performance with a truly horrible one and then following that up with another decent film.
I thought he was going to say Gotti but I actually liked Gotti
"She's probably out...cleaning...at night." 🤣
Ever since Billy bob was in sling blade, everybody wants to replicate that.
Ladies and gentlemen; John Travolta is proud to present Simple Jack.
I've watched tropic thunder so many times, but I never thought they'd finally give simple jack his own movie LMFAO 😂😂😂
"You dont go full R"
Sad thing is, Travolta apparently based his performance in this movie off his son, who was on the autistic spectrum and died from a seizure while in the shower. In a way, I could see where he could come from with that, but I'm pretty sure Travolta's son was in his teens when he died (update: he was 16). And Travolta is a man in his mid-60's, and he was around the time he filmed this. And I can TELL someone on the autistic spectrum who's in their 60's will act differently than someone in their teens.
more like simple rick
Never go full regal.
Travoltas haircut is what deserved an Emmy
It’s maybe a step behind Battlefield Earth.. gotta give it to BE just because of all the hype and controversy surrounding it.
Wig
Two words; "Fred" "Durst". End of story. Done. Next!
Hahaha that credit threw me.
Now I know y'all be loving this shit right here
Exactly what I was thinking! Spot on!!!
Ded Frurst
I actually really enjoyed "The Education of Charlie Banks"......but then again I was still very young, and I have to admit, a huge moron.
John Travolta does the absolute best Stephen King cosplay EVER!!!
"Like a little Limp Bizkit?"
*Insert Obama giving himself a medal meme
That is nice that is nice
@@BaranoffIsaac I do know who Fred Durst is tho lol
I mean, this movie is already hard to take seriously, so I don’t know if that’s really helping.
@@BaranoffIsaac Eh, I still think it was too on the nose. A poster or just even the music playing would've been more subtle and more rewarding for those who noticed it, since it isn't being shoved down your throat.
@@BaranoffIsaac If they had just had Limp Bizkit's song on in the car without it being announced, that would have worked. George Harrison used to run Handmade Films in the UK, and you would often hear his music and stuff he penned for the Beatles in their movies - he gave them his songs for free.
Ah, John Travolta, the OTHER Nicolas Cage.
They should have a ... *face off*
Both these comments are gold lol
At least Nicolas Cage is entertaining and fun to watch. John Travolta is neither.
@@linda10989 Travolta's been in some good films too.
liked that "face off" reference?
That quote from Tropic Thunder comes to mind
To my knowledge, before the De Niro / Snipes' The Fan there was another movie with the same title, a slasher/musical featuring Lauren Bacall and my absolute favorite line of all times: "How much would you like to be f**ked by a meat cleaver?"
I would love to hear you talk about this masterpiece!
The entire movie is a meditation by a celebrity on why he believes he's better than the rest of us.
Exactly
But Mark is better than us. And we need him.
Calling John Travolta a celebrity is outdated by about 40 years
@@cameronrobertson9800 Kind of missing his whole career comeback, but I was talking about the even more dated Fred Durst.
John's performance was so awful and over the top that it was utterly TRAVOLTING. ;)
This comment needs more likes. Very clever
AWESOME COMMENT
I remember wikipedia's critical reception section to it's Battlefield Earth article saying something to the effect of "more than one critic describee the film as 'Travolting'".
Get out!
Travoltation nation
Its nice to see you are uploading more frequently,and should let you know that your effort and comedy is much appreciated!
Written and Directed by Fred Fucking Durst. Well, he's proven himself to be talentless in one more medium. What next, he'll try to fail at being a sculptor?
Fred Durst directing a movie with John Travolta looking like an 8 year old on vacation in Hawaii. Sounds like a box office hit :)
What I really hate is that this could work if it was a comedy with Jim Carrey
And I've found it on Amazon Prime! Great!
@@orionterron99
I mean that is basically the Cable Guy.
@@ajoajoajoaj I definitely see that. I kind of like The Cable Guy. Not Jim Carey's best(obviously), or even his worst, really, (not when his performance as The Riddler in Batman Forever still exists), but I like the Cable Guy, a little bit. Because it's genuinely hard to really hate a Jim Carey performance, because even at his worst, he always gives a noteworthy, and memorable performance. But this is like if fred durst directed The Cable Guy, or saw it, but did it worse than anyone thought, and gave us the real life Simple Jack movie we were all unknowingly missing in our lives... except with his terrible directing. Oh well, we finally got Simple Jack the movie!
The only thing more bizarre than this movie is the fact that your channel doesn’t get more attention.
Because he barely makes videos
He deserves a Hunter Dunbar level of fame
@@raam726 Being a fan of Mark for a while now, I love the frequency of his uploads in the past half year
Inconsistent upload schedules. Which isn't a criticism of Mark, and I'm getting free entertainment, but TH-cam definitely prefers regular and frequent uploading.
Maybe he needs more devoted fans. We need him. He needs us. We can keep him company. He is lonely just now. We need to cure him of lockdown.
And Mark is funny, oh so funny.
"I might not get the chance to shoot someone's face/off."
Nicely done, sir.
I guarantee they sold this script to Travolta as the new Sling Blade
Fun Fact: it was only in theatres for 1 Day
I just realized the logo on Marks shirt was a VHS and not a London phone booth. I swear I’m not an idiot lol
Imagine how slim that phone booth would be lol
I thought that too the first time I saw it. I thought it was a Dr Who reference
Thanks for taking one for the team so the rest of us didn't have to waste a hour and a half of our lives that we could never get back! You sir are my hero lol
That Stan reference! haha
I can't believe you're actually uploading frequently now Mark. I've been waiting for this for the past five years. Probably the best thing that has come out of the pandemic
Thank you, it takes a while to make a video so for years I found it really hard to develop a regular schedule but now I've kind of got things down to a science
@@FanboyFlicks Hocus Pocus (1993) Full Movie what movie name opinion
I would expect nothing less than this from a movie made by Fred Durst.
It kills me to see this account doesn't have so many subscribers. You are awesome, man.
Holy hell, Mark. The Troll 2 callback!!! I've rewatched (at least twice) most of your stuff, but just recently done so with Troll 2, or it would have gotten by me - again! Funny AF. Thanks again for the awesome content.
I guess Fred Durst shot a fans hand off with his shotgun.
You don’t remember Fred going to jail for killing his maid ? 😂
Holy shit, I didn’t even realize that was Devon Sawa until you said his name. I could hardly recognize him! And my god, Travolta is absolutely embarrassingly awful in this.
I only saw the first film where that plane exploded. Did that creepy shadow ever get him?
Yeah I remember watching it like, damn, dude definitely looks a lot different. But then again, I haven't anything with him in it for a long time
Love the title lol, “one” of his worst. So subtle but true that there are possibly others that are worse 😆
I think John should have won an Oscar tbh he's so committed and it would have been just hilarious
At least his mustache doesn't have a reflection, lol. By the way, thank you Mark, for all the time and effort you put into your videos, much appreciated!
Thank you, I've been editing the next video over the last 3 days, should be a good one
My TH-cam browser said this was uploaded 1 hr ago and I read this comment is 2 days old.
@@FanboyFlicks can't wait to watch it. I always love seeing your videos pop up in my sub feed.
@@4dbullshitpatroll6 patreon supporters often get early access to videos
I'm really digging Travolta's portrayal of Bullwinkle J Moose in this film.
"Chocolate moose "
The constant ear 👂 finger sniffing was Oscar worthy
Hey Rocky, watch me pull a Jason mask out of my ass!
aww Bullwinkle that trick never works
that's it Rocky! You're blocked
I burst into shrill laughter as soon as I saw Travolta in his Simple Jack getup in the trailer thumbnail. Could this movie have some bit of the magic of The Room?
BTW if you didn't notice, John Travolta's Character named Moose, and The Antagonist is named Hunter, you know , Moose Hunter..
STORYTELLING!!! 11/10!!
Man, Travolta has had a lot of hits and misses in his career. Wild to think that the guy who starred in Saturday Night Fever and had a major role in Pulp Fiction, actually did this movie.
It could be worse: Marlon Brando did worse things for laziness.
@@MrlspPrt That's true, I guess. I like Travolta as a person, kind of lukewarm on him as an actor. Seeing him do really weird, not-good movies like this or like Poison Rose, puts me off. Oh well, I guess he can afford it!
Critics bash Phenomenon, but I thought Travolta did a great job in that. I know it was full of movie magic, cheesey 90's sound track, and fairy tale characters, but it worked, and largely because of good acting.
@@BrisLS1 One of my mother's favorites!
He said no to Forrest Gump, Spiderman, the green mile and other good parts.
Twist ending: This is actually a sequel to Face/Off focusing on Nicolas Cage as John Travolta doing what Nicolas Cage does in real life
John Travolta as "Simple Jack"
Thanks for saving me from this one. Also, I just can't stop thinking about Robert Durst, the serial killer millionaire.
Battlefield Earth: worst travolta movie ever.
The Fanatic: hold my haircut.
I crapped my pants!
Travolta's career is very bipolar.
It's full of its triumphs and good films like Pulp Fiction
but then it has its questionable entries like "Look, Who's Talking" and "Battlefield Earth."
I get the impression that they're trying to rip off "One Hour Photo" with Robin Williams (which was genuinely creepy)
Did anyone else of the lesson Ben Stiller learned from "Simple Jack" in Tropic Thunder?
I could see Sean Penn, Mel Gibson, or Jeremy Renner reacting like the “star.”
Showed it to a friend. He thinks it's based on Mel Gibson.
Jeremy Renner
I totally forgot that I watched this movie. Your analysis of this movie was spot on.
"I can't talk to long, I gotta poo" lol best introduction to a character ever.
The number of times I said 'poppycock' to myself in the mirror is acutally pretty startling.
WHYYY TF DOES THIS COMMENT SAY 2 DAYS GO. THE VIDEO WAS POSTED 1 HOUR AGO. IM SO CONFUSED??????
@@redbomb808 right,what is going on 🤔
@@redbomb808 videos can be uploaded and shared privately, then released with the public publishing date being the one used
@@PointsofData Ohhhhhhh that’s probably it, thanks
@@redbomb808 Patreon supporters and TH-cam Channel members get early acces to videos
Well I mean it's not a remake or reboot, so points for that
I wonder if I shouldn't be typing this as I hide in Mark's bushes, waiting for him to walk out to go to the supermarket so I can jump out and yell "OH HAI MARK!" Maybe he'll sign the cardigan he wore in the skit that I bought on EBAY for 3 dollars. I'll just wait two more hours and see.
This both sounds like a Adam Sandler movie and I keep hearing Adam Sandler's voice in Moose.
No joke: Ted Cruz’s new hair looks EXACTLY like Travolta’s in this movie. Don’t believe me? Google it.
Edit: Oh wow, I wrote this comment before finishing the video! He totally addresses it on the credits 😂
The best description of this movie I’ve ever heard is that this is one of John Travolta‘s most genius performances or the most unintentionally funny one since battlefield earth.
honestly Mark your giveaway is such a refreshing approach where you just requested we watch your show to be able to enter. Genius marketing.
I'm only here for the job security giveaway.
Did John Travolta really campaigned this movie for the Oscar nomination?
Yes. His ego has brought him to an alternate dimension. I'm sure he hears applause in his head and hallucinates good reviews on national television.
@@Turtleproof Yes exactly, remember he said that Battlefield Earth will be the next Star Wars lol.
The hostage part is almost a shot for shot remake of the scene where Vince Vaughn is tied up by the crazy brother in wedding crashers, only thing missing is the painting
Travolta thought this would be his Slingblaid
Fred Durst wrote what he knows and his personality. Fred unleashed his inner Moose.
The real hero of this story should've been the housekeeper lady. What a day she had
"It started with a kiss... Didn't expect it to come to this." -Some song by Hot Chocolate
I am almost certain that he went into , and , and came out of this movie , fully expecting an Oscar for his performance.
Mark, I have to give you real kudos here! I have to admit that this has to be a more darker movie than the ones you usually do, but your awesome sense of humor really helped in still finding some humourous material in this!🤓👍
Hmm I’ll take some of this job security you’re talking about
I met Lou Ferrigno and that's the only celebrity I wanted to meet.
I heard Ferrigno's actually a genuinely nice guy.
Man I wanna meet Lou!
I have never heard anything but awesome stuff about Lou.
Legend
Fun fact; I did security 👮♂️ at a Orlando area event in the 2010s. Celebration. 🏘 It had a few mid level TV, basic cable celebs. Reality show types. I personally had to eject 4X, four different people. 😖 Why these nutbars were crazed over the TV stars at a hotel event room made 0 sense.
Poor John Travolta. Much like Nicolas Cage, it's great to see him still acting, even at his old age. I love Travolta's films! But what the hell was he thinking with this one? Yes, Battlefield Earth was bad too, but geezz, I think this film REALLY takes the cake for me!
If Fred Durst removed his name from the film, more than 19 people may actually see it. Lol
This movie is how not to do "the joker"
Chris Stuckman's review of this is also hilarious.
Chris Stuckman and hilarious is an oxymoron
Watch Adum and Pals: The Fanatic review. It's so funny.
Stuckman is a lot things, but funny ain't one of them.
Imagine being an extra in this and watching them film scenes
Ah yes, "The Fanatic": Fred Durst's failed attempt at creating characters that are more repulsive than he himself is.
Has the housekeeper's body been discovered yet?
Wait.... so you're saying Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit is NOT an amazing film director? 😂
Idk. The movie isn't shot that bad, it's just that the script is an abomination.
I felt this was not a topic that was discussed enough! I literally put my hands to my face when he revealed that. I vaguely knew of this movie but I forgot that Fred Durst directed it AND wrote it. That explains a lot.
He is a mortal god.
The movie and directing wasn't that bad. Compare it to the nun or justice league and it's fucking brilliant
@@jayclean5653 The house fire wasn't that devastating, it's just that I've lost all my belongings.
My man survived Final Destination but can’t survive John Travolta yee-yee ass haircut? Smh
I don't think John is too worried about this film, he did, after all sign the billion year contract with Scientology. Taking some time off to make a horrible movie is like a vacation in the span of a billion years!
Not used to you doing newer movies, and this one was a super bomb. Can't wait to watch it!
Best stalker movie is What about Bob?
Bill Murray is hilarious
Kurt Cobain, Guy Lafleur and Sydney Poitier are the only people I've ever remotely geeked out over. And even I never went out of my way to meet them or get an autograph. I honestly never understood the whole celebrity worship.
I went to an advanced screening of The Fanatic in DC & John Travolta was THERE. I even met him & shook his hand. Glad that happened before the movie. It was so bad that I just wanted to leave the theater immediately afterwards lol.
My brother died this past weekend and seeing the notification you uploaded this made me smile. Thank you, sincerely.
Love the video but you blew it when showing Travolta's home at 2:38. No statue of Xenu? No posters of L. Ron Hubbard?
Mark, most likely someone like Travolta’s character would be getting Social Security Disability Insurance and his English Bobby picture business would be for “cash under the table” or within’ the allowed “extra” he could make a month and still be able to collect SSDI which I think is around $500 a month. Still well below what someone would need to live in Hollywood would need to live on but he didn’t have a car and he lived in some sort of basement that he shared with that chick I think.
So let’s say he earned $5 per picture and sold 20 pictures in a day that’s $100 a day (WAY more if he actually hustled tour groups on weekends). Times 30 that’s $3,000 tax free every month ON TOP of his SSDI which is like $1,200 with food stamps so he could eat then he splits the rent with that chick for a black market room that they pay, again, cash for under the table, it’s now believable, even in Hollywood. “Section 8” would be another variable as well.
I do characters on Hollywood Boulevard. What you postulate here just ain't happenin'.
Hunter Dunbar has the temperment of Sean Penn.
