neutral · AI labelView post →I come not to shame a man for naming Shutter Island as his favorite Scorsese movie but to praise him for not saying “The Boondock Saints”
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembered how the director of "The Boondock Saints" also had a flop band, renamed The Boondock Saints to capitalize on the movie. Wondered if it was on YouTube. It was. Wondered if it sucked. Did it ever! www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9bN...
neutral · AI labelView post →By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a "bad" movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.
positive · AI labelView post →There’s a Willem Dafoe film for basically every holiday: Thanksgiving - Spider-Man Christmas - To Live and Die in LA St Patrick’s Day - The Boondock Saints Easter - The Last Temptation of Christ Pride - Inside Man Independence Day - Born on the Fourth of July
neutral · AI labelView post →Unpolished as hell but still highly recommended. Even if you're a not a fan of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS (I've never seen the movie myself), this is a queasily addictive "be careful what you wish for" tale as well as a vivid portrait of the days the Trumpian Harvey Weinstein ruled the movie biz like a god
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints is probably the worst movie i have a fundamental respect for as an attempt to make art. I respect it more than every marvel movie
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints is a very good action packed movie… that takes place in Boston… and, a testament to NEVER to fuck with the Irish. Recommend by my new friend @justinseitz.bsky.social… I can’t believe I never saw this gem of a movie!!! Thank you! 🎬🎥🍿 📺📽️ #FilmSky #MovieSky #Boston #Film #Movies

neutral · AI labelView post →Its a Scene from The Boondock Saints If I remeber well, the Movie did kinda well for his time, displaying Drag in an popular Action-Movie without making fun of it. The character dressing up and how he used it, seemed like a cool power move to me
positive · AI labelView post →Imagine trying to explain to someone younger that during the 00s there was a Type Of Guy where their main personality trait was that their favourite movie was The Boondock Saints

neutral · AI labelView post →huh this is the first time I realisied the Boondock Saints is not a movie based on the Boondocks
neutral · AI labelView post →Look. I'll be the first person to admit that "The Boondock Saints" has a lot of problems: writing wise, story wise etc. (Not casting, though; they nailed it). But the one criticism I never got is people being upset at the movie for promoting vigilante violence. Don't ALL action flicks do that...?
neutral · AI labelView post →letting my middle school age kids watch The Boondock Saints even though it's so violent and the film has so much backlash now from cinephiles and the types of people who leave dudes' homes when they see they own books from David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway but it's St. Patty's Day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

neutral · AI labelView post →Good but not great. They dump the battlesuits entirely. For budget reasons this makes sense at the time but that investment in equipment (and to a lesser extent the soldiers within) shows the cost of space travel and how we are spending insane amounts to kill space bugs that are on most worlds. But they, in turn, use the infantry rush of unarmored soliders pretty well to show the cost of war. The use of propaganda in the media mirrors the indoctrination well enough. It keeps the audience…

neutral · AI labelView post →My mother-in-law overheard a conversation about The Boondock Saints as "The Blue Duck Sings" and now I want the same cast to be in a movie with that title
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints. I understand emjoying the Scorsese style dark humor and swooning over young Sean Patrick Flannery, but the filmmaker is a narcissistic chud. Watch the doc about the making of the film called "Overnight." It's the most compelling study of a narcissistic sociopath ever made.
negative · AI labelView post →I don't know if everyone loves it anymore, but The Boondock Saints was a movie I remember despising when everybody around me loved it.
negative · AI labelView post →I am watching "The Boondock Saints". Two questions. Why do all the Bostonians sound like they're from New Jersey? Why did they get the Catholic "Our Father" wrong? I am going to turn it off -- because--get it right film makers.
negative · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints is easily the worst movie that I've seen more than once, and my assessment of it is significantly after worse after each subsequent viewing.
negative · AI labelView post →If you’ve never seen the Boondock Saints It’s a movie about two Irish Catholic brothers who send crimes bosses up to the lord while reciting Bible verses It’s the Irish version of Shottas
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie was boring, its always been that way, and I've used "likes Big LebowskI" alongside other luminaries like "The Boondock Saints" as a way of weeding out uninteresting people irl for a long time.
negative · AI labelView post →The cat was the only laudable character in the Boondock Saints and we saw what happened to him. I loved that movie and all the characters, but like... There were no good people in that movie!
positive · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day. The first movie was fun, funny, had some incredible memorable moments ("There was a firefight!!"), and the second one was just a big turd of a movie. I've never walked out of a theater movie, but I might've for this one if I wasn't with other people.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints Not a gay movie or a gay actor but Willem Dafoe gave us the best gay character. :3

neutral · AI labelView post →While we're on the topic, The Boondock Saints is an absolutely fascinating movie. On the one hand, it's uniquely terrible in a way that can't be described, you have to see it for yourself etc. On the other hand, it's probably THE movie that encapsulates late 90s edgy cool more than any other.
neutral · AI labelView post →Drop your favorite film sequences. The ceiling drop in The Boondock Saints ....
neutral · AI labelView post →11/ To put a dudebro-ier point on it, these leftist cheerleaders are analogous to early 2000’s bros who were way into the boorish film “The Boondock Saints” and how it really got them into “cinema” and was a political revelation for them.
neutral · AI labelView post →Am I the only one surprised he didn't go with the 'The Boondock Saints' version? That's 10X the alpha incel holy warrior fantasy movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyone looking for what I feel is a set of movies that does not get enough talk and critics did not particularly enjoy, go and watch both The Boondock Saints movies #filmsky #moviesky #movies #film
positive · AI labelView post →It gives me no pleasure to say this given the involvement of Willem Dafoe (one of my very favorite actors) but a compelling argument can be made that the Boondock Saints is the worst movie of all time
negative · AI labelView post →Excuse me?! THE BOONDOCK SAINTS? THREE? If you can believe it, this movie had a good spot in my heart for a while. Let's hope their Irish accents improve a bit. www.indiewire.com/news/breakin...
neutral · AI labelView post →Bleak and profound, yes, but do you REALLY think these guys could take the Boondock Saints? No. So hard to call it a perfect film.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boondock Saints (1999) - Great movie once you get past some of the awful language used and accept how ridiculous it is. It's sad cause this is absolutely one of those movies that enabled the worst kinds of people who took it too seriously. This is literally blow job brother Devil May Cry bs
neutral · AI labelView post →Listening to the Guys episode on movie guys - been waiting for them to do one on movie guys for a while - and they're talking about how bad The Boondock Saints is, and it's true. It's not a good film. I never understood the appeal. Dare I say, it's a shitty film.
negative · AI labelView post →This is pre positioning in case the Boondock Saints need to drop it on someone, no you're referencing a film from 1999
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok, since we're doing movie memes today for some reason (trying to survive the horrors), what's the movie you have never seen but have a somewhat irrational dislike for and refuse to watch? For me it's The Boondock Saints bc every Irish-American boy I went to high school with loved it violently.
neutral · AI labelView post →The dark, American humor in me sees this, and hears the Saint's Prayer from The Boondock Saints movie as soon as Hermione utters Avada Kadavra...

neutral · AI labelView post →Literally one scene away from perfection. The only thing that takes me out of the film is the wooden delivery of dialogue by Charlton Heston. It's 1b to 1a for my favorite movie all time alongside The Boondock Saints.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching what is probably my favorite action movie 'The Boondock Saints' for the 500th time. It is just such a unique film and every actor turns in a fantastic performance. Willem Dafoe as the eccentric, over the top, opera loving FBI agent is one of his best roles ever.
