“Let’s do some gratuitous violence.” I’m a huge, HUGE fan of this movie. True, their “Irish” accents borderline between faint and Lucky the Leprechaun, but for some reason this movie was like some secret password in film class if you were new and wanted some instant friends.
I even named my dog Rocco, named after David Della Rocco, the MacManus’ tragic sidekick.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m talking about Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day, the sequel to the cult classic The Boondock Saints. It’s about two Irish brothers who have an epiphany and feel the vengeance of God flowing in their veins and decide to go after mobsters. That’s basically the gist of it.
I’m sorry. I’m having a difficult time holding in my excitement.
FYI: the trailer is the red-band version and contains a lot of NSFW language. It’s still awesome, though.

That movie is godawful, and I know I’m not the only one who thinks so… 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 44% on MetaCritic…

is an epiphone the same thing as an epiphany?

The first Boondock Saints is required viewing for all Boston college students, and I can’t WAIT for this one. Yes it’s derivative and Duffy’s an ass– WHO THE HELL CARES? Have we forgotten about having fun at the movies?

Yay, another sequel to a shitty movie. Just what the world needs after Transformers 2. This movie is basically the perfect litmus test as to whether or not a person is worth knowing.

I’m lost, has this something to do with comics?

Boondock Saints is one of my favorite movies. I make no attempt to analyze why nor do I care. Its one of those movies that you either get or you don’t. Shoot ‘em Up is another like that.
The sequel makes me excited and nervous at the same time. Can it truly live up to the first one? I really want it too.
