    Default Netflix, I'm done with you.

    So, as I am typing this, my wife is subjecting me to one of the worst movies of all time. Mama Mia. Its a musical! WTF!!!???!!! Who the hell wants to watch a stupid-assed musical? More so than that, what kind of sick company would put such crap into the livingroom of a red blooded American male? Netflix, thats who...

    Fortunately, I thought of an alternative: ManFlix

    Yes, with Manflix we would never be subjected to this crap again.
    No romantic comedies
    No romance movies of any kind
    No retarded tear jerkers.
    Most especially, NO FRIGGIN' MUSICALS!!!

    With Manflix every movie would have at least two of the following:

    Stunning special effects
    Fist fights
    Chuck Norris
    Ass Whoopins
    Car chases
    Robots
    Arnold Schwartzeneggor
    Cyborgs
    Explosions
    Clint Eastwood
    Hot naked chicks
    Gun Fights
    Bruce Willis
    Sword Fights
    Hot naked chicks
    Other cool man approved stuff and naked chicks. Explosions too.

    What do you think fellas? I think we have a billion dollar industry on our hands here. Its good to be a man. We should celebrate it with movies worth watching. Well, with movies worth watching and shooting guns...

    No more Netflix. Too much stupid chick crap...

    Rant Over.....

    Never saw "Oklahoma" did You? or an Ester Williams film...

    While I agree in principle with where You are going with it.. Being an old film buff,, I do have to say,, There are a few musicals out there that can be considered "guy films"...

    I'm not saying anything of recent vintage,, most of it is crap anyway..


    ETA: "Paint your wagon" Lee Marvin sings,, Clint should have been dubbed,, but on the whole,, Win/win

    1 - I feel your pain! I made it clear to my wife a LOOONNNNNGGGGGGG time ago that I would NOT be joining her to watch musicals like this. I usually don't stay in the room for a standard chick flick. I retreat to the man cave along with my dog and marinate in as much testosterone as I can muster watching action flicks to try to counteract what's going on upstairs.

    2 - Would you have The Man Show on DVD? I'd do it just for that! Otherwise, if a flick had gratuitous violence, hot naked chicks, shooting, and explosions it would work for me.

    3. I think it's high time that guys be allowed to be guys. Too much PC crap out there and let's face it, being PC means having your nuts cut off. No PC, No Musicals, and No Chick Flicks (unless you have an ulterior motive and are successful in the pursuit of same, which is a get out of jail free card. You know what I'm talking about....)

    I think I'll watch some Mad Max now!

    And I do have some culture. It involves important things, like good beer, good scotch, good food, and fine firearms.

    OK, I have to mention that my wife just braved the Man Cave and happened to hear me chuckling about this post. After she inquired about the subject, and I told her, she named off nearly half of the criteria for good guy films without looking at the post. Then she laughed as she went back upstairs. Yessir, I knew she was a keeper when she gave me that 1911 our first Christmas together!

    GreenscoutII - You know it'll take at least two good guy films to counteract what you were forced to endure...

    Oh, and I read Marlin's post and she said it sounded, uh, 'unmanly'. Actually the word she used was three letters, and started with G. Sorry, Marlin...

    Hmmmm.....it does seem to be in the criteria. NO, as in, NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, NIL, NOT ONE. So it seems to me that to participate in ManFlix and retain your ManCard, ol' Jimmy would qualify to not qualify. And I don't recall EVER seeing the Duke doing something like that. Sets the standard, I think. Also, no Chuck Norris, or Bruce Willis, or Steven Seagal, or Arnie, or even Clint doing such a thing. Now, this isn't to say that Jimmy Cagney never made any good movies. He just made some that were questionable....

    Let's see here....Singing Cowboy, versus little short guy wearing a tux bounding around on stage with a bunch of other guys, also wearing tuxes. No contest. Especially since the Duke did his way up front in his career, and ol' Jimmy did his later.
