'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Coach Z is not that cool; here comes an email.

<blockquote><div>

subject: movie

</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
I was at the movies last night and this little girl behind me<br />
wouldn't shut up! has that ever happened to you?<br />
Cooper<br />
Franklin TN.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the name and address as "A person called Cooper, from the city of Franklin, in the state of Tennessee."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Told you I could do it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' ''{grudging The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I feel ya, Coopreme. It's a good thing they make you turn off your bazookas before movies man, or every one of my theater-going experiences would end in smoldering crater fashion.

''{Cut to a cinema entrance lobby. Posters for Dangeresque 3 and King Bubsgonzola Supreme hang in the background. Senor Cardgage is an usher; Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom walk in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The experience starts out promising enough...

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Good eef-ening, Bontilda. ''{takes Strong Bad's ticket and tears it}'' Forty-twone will be on your lest.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just you watch, The Cheat. Some day ''I'm'' gonna be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest.

''{Cut inside the cinema. Coach Z is watching the movie screen, fidgeting and thinking hard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It begins with the genius who can't resist answering the oh-so-challenging film trivia slides they show before the movie.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I know this one! The Brat Pack! Pan-and-scan! Spencer Tracy!

''{Cut to Strong Bad. The Cheat is visible on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Real impressive, Ebert. We've only seen this slide ten times since we all sat down.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' If you answered "B", you're ready for film school.

''{Cut back to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Awr, it was ''{hits himself}'' ice cold refreshment.

''{Cut to the screen, which reads:}''

<blockquote>MOVIE & REFRESHMENT TRIVIA*

The correct answer was :<br />
B: Ice Cold Refreshment

<span class="small">*ACTUALLY JUST REFRESHMENT TRIVIA</span>
</blockquote>
'''COACH Z:''' I should've known.

''{Another slide is shown on the screen, with a picture of a bazooka with six tally marks on it, labeled "Please Be Considerate. Because no one wants to watch a smoldering crater."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Be considerate of others. Please turn off your bazookas before the progrum.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then, once the movie starts, don't forget the guy who insists on rattling off the complete filmographies of each of the actors.

''{Cut back to the audience, and pan from Pom Pom to Strong Sad.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' —but when I returned, the DNA evidence was gone!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, ''{points at screen}'' and he had a cameo as Stevedore #2 in the prequel, and he was in that car commercial with the wisecracking transmission, and he has a Bacon number of 4! ''{holds up four fingers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up and turns back to face Strong Sad}'' And this is my FIST! ''{raises said fist}'' You might remember it from ''Bloodied Pulp'', the amazingly true story of your face in five seconds! ''{sits back down}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pointing at Strong Bad}'' He was in ''Dangeresque 1'' and ''2''!

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is sitting next to Strong Bad and eating popcorn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if you think the guy sitting next to you munching popcorn is bad, ''{Strong Bad's head turns slowly in The Cheat's direction}'' try going to a theater where people regularly sneak in their own all-you-can-eat fajitas!

''{Cut to the King of Town, who is holding a frying pan covered in sizzling food, with a stack of similar pans in the seat beside him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Looks at the camera, popping his crown}'' What?! This was all in my box of Milk Duds.

''{Pan back, behind the King of Town, there are the Knight (with a guitar), the Hornblower (with a horn) and the Blacksmith (with maracas). The three of them play a brief Mariachi melody. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that brings me to the little girl behind me who wouldn't shut up.

''{Pan behind Strong Bad, Homestar Runner is standing there, wearing a Viking helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more! Ever and more! Ever and more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is the kind of person that likes to talk to the movie. But not in the usual ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words}'' "Don't go in there!" or ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words again}'' "Oh no he di'n't!" type of way. He just... makes small talk with the characters, and chit-chat.

''{Cut through white to some time in the movie. Homestar is sitting on his seat, with the Viking helmet on the seat next to him.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I figured out their plan.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I figured I'd just cut up some iceberg lettuce, throw some tomatoes on there, maybe a little catalina. Nothing fancy, nothing fancy.

''{Cut through white to later in the movie. Homestar is lying on his seat, with his head resting on the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, have you ever been to a ground-breaking? I mean, what is the point of those things?

''{Cut through white again, Homestar is lying upside down on his seat, with his legs in the air.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know where the real money is? ''{shakes his legs}'' Phone books.

''{Cut through white yet again, Homestar is sitting up normally.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder how you spell tabasco. ''{stands up}'' TABASCOooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Gets up from his seat again and turns around.}'' What is wrong with you people?! Do you not notice the giant movie over here? Were all the local sit-around-and-suck-out-loud places closed?!

''{Strong Bad picks up a bazooka, holds it beside his head like a cell phone, and imitates a ringtone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, di-a-lo-do, da-a-lo-do, di-a-lo-do, ''die''!!

''{Strong Bad lowers the bazooka to point at the camera and fires it. Fade back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, that's why I'm not allowed at the movies anymore. But I don't care. I brought my movie viewing into the digital age. And I dig-it-all!!! Check it out!

''{Strong Bad runs "karatecar.exe". An ASCII art movie starts. A stick figure man walks along a street, with buildings in the background, and a car drives across. The stick figure jumps and does a somersault over the car just before he gets hit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Oh, look out, Mister Slashy-Man!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the car.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Ooh, something exciting!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the stick figure man, who says "Now THAT was a'' sports ''car!". He then does some karate moves and says "Hi-YA!".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Aah, I guess I'm talking during the movie! Kind of a hypocrite! Gonna shut up now!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

* [[Pan and scan]] refers to a technique by which film originally shot in widescreen format is transferred into a format compatible with the shape of common TV screens. In contrast, DVDs made using an [[anamorphic widescreen]] technique automatically fill [[high-definition television]] screens that have a 16:9 aspect ratio and make full use of the available resolution.
* The slashes on the bazooka in the "Be Considerate" ad are a common mark on guns, tanks, and war ships to show how many kills they've made.
* A [[stevedore]] is a person who works at or is responsible for loading and unloading ships in port.
* The Knight, The Hornblower, and The Blacksmith are playing instruments as if they were in a [[mariachi]] band.
* [[French dressing|Catalina]] is a type of [[Salads|salad]] dressing made from tomato ketchup and sugar.

<s>AUGUST 2006</s><br />
WE'LL SEE...</blockquote></li>

<li>The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad rants about why he hates fellow moviegoers."</li>
<li>The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad describes how annoying moviegoers can be."</li></ul>

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* Despite the lack of a specific release date, the frame around the poster for Dangeresque 3 still labels the film as "Now Playing".
* The ASCII art used in [[Karate Car]] is not actually true ASCII art; some of the characters are of different font sizes.
** This includes italicized fonts, including backward-italicized 1's and I's.
* The bazooka in the "Please be considerate" ad has its trigger near the back of the barrel, though it belongs near the center or the front.

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Inside References</span> ===

* Strong Bad's "Told you I could do it," refers to his habit of mangling the [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|emailer's name]] and/or [[Strong Bad Email By Place|address]], which he doesn't do this time.
* Two of the movie posters are for ''[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]]'' (based on [[unnatural]]) and ''[[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' (with no predetermined release date).
** The King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster was an Easter egg in [[unnatural]].
* Strong Bad originally said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would come out in June 2004, hence the first crossed out date. The other three dates are of major releases: [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Senorial Day]], and [[Strongest Man in the World]], respectively.
* "Film school" was first mentioned in [[Puppets on the Road]].
* This email features another pronunciation of the word "program" as [[Progrum|progrum]].

* ''[[Battleship Potemkin]]'' was an influential silent film about the [[Russian battleship Potemkin|Battleship Potemkin uprising]].

* [[Milk Duds]] are a brand of chocolate-covered caramel candy produced by [[The Hershey Company]].
* Tabasco is both [[Tabasco|a state in Mexico]] as well as the trademark name for a brand of [[Tabasco sauce|hot pepper sauce]] that has since become a [[genericized trademark]] for hot sauce.
* The song Strong Bad "sings" before firing the bazooka uses the rhythm of the "[[Nokia tune]]", based on a guitar work called "Gran Vals". The song has been used as the default ringtone on mobile phones produced by the Finnish electronics company [[Nokia]] since the 1990s.

<span id="fast-forward"></span>

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{confused}'' Is Cardage real?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{Coach Z shouts out trivia answers}'' I don't like the trivia before movies, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It's usually pretty easy, and Tom Hanks is usually the answer.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah! I don't wanna look at no silhouettes of Tom Hanks' head no more! ''{Mike stifles a laugh}'' ...and guess which curly-headed man this is! ''{Mike laughs aloud}'' That's what it always asks me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' That's a... very poor trivia question.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{laughing}'' I know! "Guess which curly-headed Tom Hanks this is." And I always—it's always ''Bachelor Party''.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs, regains his composure}'' It's not, uh... ahh, I was gonna say ''Johnny Dangerously'', but that's Keaton, right?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeaah.

'''MIKE:''' ''Gung Ho''?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yap.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing} Mr. Mom''?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Him and Tom Hanks are kinda the same.

'''MIKE:''' ''{snickers}'' Until Tom Hanks got all legit and... winning all those Oscars in the '90s.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''Bantam.''

'''MIKE:''' ''Multiplicity'' never got...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Tom Hanks—

'''MIKE:''' ''{underneath}'' never got...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Tom Hanks was Bantam, though.

'''MIKE:''' Well... no.

'''HOMESTAR:''' And Kiefer was Keaton. ''{Mike snickers}'' Ummm....

'''MIKE:''' So what movie were you guys watching here?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Uh, this... must've been... ''Soo''—''Soos''!

'''MIKE:''' ''Seuss''? Like—

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''Soos-sayer''!

'''MIKE:''' ''Soothsayer''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{struggles to get out the 'th'}'' ''Soothsayer''.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhkay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{the King of Town appears}'' Oooh! Look at those fajitas! That is a sizzling plate! ''{Mike laughs}'' You better watch out. ''{at the pan to the mariachi band}'' Wooo!

'''MIKE:''' The guys.

'''HOMESTAR:''' It's the Kingsm'n. The Kingsm'n trio! ''{short pause}'' Umm... ''{Strong Bad mentions the "little girl"}'' Here's my big scene!

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh, you're—you were—

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{overlapping}'' We're—we were probably seeing the Vikings on... the Seas! ...movie. And so I was just singin' along.

'''MIKE:''' ''Erik the Viking''?

'''HOMESTAR:''' He tries to pick me as if I was some kind of an annoy-ance. But I'm really—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' You were just part of the movie?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, it's like that movie where you throw... toast.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, yeah. ''Rocky Horror''? Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, ''Rocky IV''.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing} Rocky IV''?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''The Rocky IV Picture Show''!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' When you throw toast at Drago?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah! And you throw syringes at... Nikita Jamson. ''{Mike laughs aloud, Homestar stifles laughter}'' What's her name? She's tall and blonde.

'''MIKE:''' Brigitte Nielsen?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Jaquitte! ''{both laughing}'' Jaquitte Ribston! Throw some syringes!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Y'know, she and... Rocky got married.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Rocky?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe. I can't—I can't remember— ''{quietly}'' —S—y'know, Stallone.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno if it was after or before... ''Rocky IV''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think he got married—I heard he got married to that robot... that's in... ''Rocky IV''.

'''MIKE:''' The robot?

'''HOMESTAR:''' His son has a cool robot.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, he does!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Um, Strong Bad...does Strong Bad really have a bazooka, Mike? I think this is him imagining things, 'cause I feel like if he really had a bazooka, we'd all be in some biiig troubles.

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh... is that—that was a rocket launcher, though. Wasn't it?

'''HOMESTAR:''' What'd I call it?

'''MIKE:''' A bazooka.

'''HOMESTAR:''' What's the diff?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I don't really know, but—''{Strong Bad is watching Karate Car}'' Ooh, look at that movie. That's a good movie.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeaaah! I remember one time some guy made that movie ''{entirely unintelligible through his impediment} Stuwws''. All with... little letters.

'''MIKE:''' ''Star Wars''? ...was made...?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{overlapping} Stuwws''. ''{Mike chuckles; Mr. Slashy-man takes his final pose} {as a greeting rather than an exclamation}'' Hiya!

<span id="fun-facts-1"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Fun Facts </span> ===

* Homestar's line about Dangeresque seems to indicate that this commentary was recorded sometime before the release of [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]. The DVD was released about a month later.
* Homestar and Mike mention a number of [[Tom Hanks]] and [[Michael Keaton]] films from the late '80s and early '90s, including ''[[Bachelor Party (1984 film)|Bachelor Party]]'', starring Tom Hanks, and ''[[Johnny Dangerously]]'', ''[[Mr. Mom]]'', ''[[Gung Ho (film)|Gung Ho]]'', ''[[Multiplicity (film)|Multiplicity]]'', and ''[[Batman (1989 film)|Batman]]'', all of which starred Michael Keaton.
* Homestar's mention of Tom Hanks playing "Bantam" is probably typical Homestar confusion; Michael Keaton played [[Batman]] in the 1989 ''Batman'' and its sequel ''[[Batman Returns]]'', but Tom Hanks never played any character named Bantam.
* [[Erik the Viking]] ''is a 1989 British comedy-fantasy film written and directed by [[Monty Python]]'s Terry Jones.''
* Homestar confuses ''[[Rocky IV]]'' with ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'', a movie which is well-known for having audience participation, including throwing toast at the screen during one scene.
* Despite Matt and Homestar's confusion, there is no real distinction between a bazooka and a rocket launcher, as "bazooka" has not been a technical term since World War II and "rocket launcher" has never been a technical term for man-portable weaponry. The truly correct term is "[[shoulder-launched missile weapon]]".
* Homestar is correct; the original ''[[Star Wars]]'' has been entirely made in ASCII. It can be viewed [http://www.asciimation.co.nz/asciimation/index.html here].
