I remember back in the 90s there was this movie about this guy in glasses that just losses it after a really crap day or something..
Goes on this rampage in the city, fires a rocket launcher at some city workers and all kinds of other stuff, all leading up to him wanting to see his little girl or something.. In the end he gets shot a cop when he pulls a water gun on him.. Can someone name this movie for me?

And some more information. The guy in glasses is Michael Douglas and it's directed by Joel Schumacher. Director of The Lost Boys, Flatliners and erm.. Batman and Robin.

I agree with him about breakfast at fast food resturants. I rarely wake up in the mornings. a couple months ago I had to wake up to help a friend out, when we were done I went to McDonalds. I was really looking foward to some breakfast food and it was only 10:30AM. Sorry sir, we're on lunch now.
I was like WHAT THE f***! It's the freaking AM still!

Sounds like a little movie called "Star Wars" to me.

That movie was gold in many ways:
When Foster(Douglas) was in the Korean convenience store and got pissed at a can of soda being 85 cents then destroying all of the shop owner's overpriced products until he only charged 50 cents for the soda. Foster then paid for it and left.
Walking into gang territory, getting accosted, then beating the gang bangers with the Korean's bat. While the gang bangers run away, Foster is yelling, "You forgot my briefcase!"
When the gang bangers try to drive by Foster, they crash. Foster grabs the bag of guns as well as another laying on the ground, walks up to the crying little bitch gang banger who's now begging for his life, and goes, "You missed." Shoots him in the leg and says, "I didn't." And walks away.
Has the "homeless" guy beg off of him and Foster calling out his lies(hadn't eaten anything in 3 days...while he's eating a sandwich, saying he was a Vietnam Vet...even though he was about 20 something) then giving the guy his briefcase which had nothing in it except a half eaten sandwich and an apple. Gold.
Going to the Happy Burger(not the real name, just a Silent Hill reference from me) wanting breakfast but since it was 10:32am, they were now serving lunch. He asks to see the manager and says something about the customer being always right and the manager replying that it wasn't their policy. He pulls out a gun and magically they still have breakfast stuff still on the shelf but he changes his mind and orders lunch, takes the burger out and it looks like crap and asks if anyoen knows why the burger in the picture looks so good while the one he was holding looks like crap...and a little black kid raises his hand to answer. Gold.
This whole movie is gold.

Pointless fact, the person who serves him in WhammyBurger is Michelle Pfeiffer's sister.

Funny story, Iron Maiden's song "Man on the Edge" is about this movie.

I love the part where he tells the road workers that "the road was perfectly fine yesterday" and the only reason they're tearing it apart is to "support there over inflated budget"
I had my own "falling down" moment at the Wal-Mart Automotive Department about a week ago. I went to take two tires in to get them balanced (they're the original rally wheels for my Chevelle that I JUST got sandblasted and painted gray... so why I wanted to save a buck and go to Wal-Mart is beyond me) anyhow, the guy(s) working were your Grade-A Douche Bag Material whom it appeared that I know more about automotive repair than.
Long story short after TWO HOURS of waiting around (for two tires to be balanced... 15 minute job) and then they tried to give them to ANOTHER customer... I flipped out on the guy. There is no possible way that I can get past the form censor here but I called I called the entire thing a "gigantic cluster-smurf" among other things. I'm fairly sure I yelled for a good three minutes solid.
But honestly, it was the most run around I've ever gotten. There was one point where I was waiting near the lobby area, BS'ing with another poor sap who was just as stuck and just as PO'ed as I was. When all of a sudden this old hag of a women shows up on her bike, and before long the two guys who were supposed to be working on PAYING CUSTOMERS cars stopped what they were doing and started fixing the breaks on her bike, and pumping up her tires. Mind you there were three of us who had been waiting FOREVER for our stuff to get done, sitting through the women who needed like 20 keys made, and the idiot assistant manager who I wouldn't put in charge closing an umbrella, trying to come over and help things out, all of a sudden the mechanics are helping her instead. So they got every "smurf" and "mother smurfing idiot" we threw at them.

He also plays a guy who wasn't retarded but was raised from infantcy in a state home so he acted retarded. A councelor noticed how he was different and went on t spend a considerable amount of time trying to bring him to normalcy. It's called Larry and it's a pretty decent movie. |
