HBN 72: Is "Real Steel" The Worst Hugh Jackman Movie Ever?

[juliakiely1]

iv watched real steal and its gr8!! but the advert is crap compared to it

[rilleolsson]

Your son is crazy talented. He deserves a lot more credit for some really impressive little performances in HBN.

[miggie2099]

no one notice but me that someone named my penis donated money in the credits.

[detrius82]

Great to see you back, Gladstone!

[lispectorando]

I like your explanation: guys want to see this because they want to bone Huge Jack... I mean, Hugh Jackman. Not only the very idea is hot as fuck, it's the only logical explanation.

[lispectorando]

How can Jackman do The Fountain and then this?

[dmophatty]

@lispectorando Ugh, don't remind me, he did do the fountain, one of the most painfully tedious movies ever.

[distensible]

go sick gladstone lad

[xAngelicFruitCakex]

Your son does a pretty good British accent. That's a gift.



[xAngelicFruitCakex]

The passenger sits to the left of the driver, not the right in the UK ... 

[gladstonew]

@xAngelicFruitCakex I'm aware of that. That's why I made a joke about us sitting on the wrong side. Unless your comment is directed at my 9 yr old son for pantomiming a wheel during a spontaneous ad lib in the outtakes, in which case you're a cool guy.

[vadetatimus]

GLADSTONE CONDONES CHILD ABUSE!!!

[molegoddess]

Well, it was better than half of the X-Men movies. Also, I'll go ahead and take that bullet for you, Gladstone, and have lots of sex with Hugh Jackman so you don't have to compromise your straight man persona. Don't worry, I'll describe it to you later in perfect detail so it'll be like you were there. Or, you could watch, I guess? That'd be ok too.

[TheKivKev]

stupid idiot real steel is a fantastic film you fool idiot

[vadetatimus]

@TheKivKev yeah! fool idiot you idiot! stupid!

[sketch17ify]

stupid ass real steel rocks

[DINIELIKEIT]

No. Its way better than any other movie

[KingLegendary1]

actually its based off of a novel...

[gladstonew]

@KingLegendary1 actually its based on a twillight zone, but the appeal is clearly rockem sockem robots.

[KingLegendary1]

@gladstonew a book called steel is the twilight zone episode is based off of the book steel 1956 fantasy mag I saw it the twilight zone episode, you've already lost the argument..how do you feel?

[gladstonew]

@KingLegendary1 what argument? I was well aware of the Twilight Zone epi, when I made this. Do you not see the deliberate allusion to rockem sockem in the movie? Also in Steel doesn't the jackman character pretend to be a robot to battle a robot? What are you trying to prove?

[KingLegendary1]

Thats exactly what I thought you'd say, honestly I'm bored but Yeah I see it, but the movie is a clear cut rip off of the short story, I mean Boxing isn't as popular as it was back in the 60s and early to mid 70s. Although the Rock and Sockem theme is somewhat present that's how we could interpret it but the only question I ask is why bother to critically think about a rather crappy hugh jackman movie? but for steel actually it was different but essentially the components are the same it was a

[KingLegendary1]

a man fighting a robot, and ultimately getting brutalized but because he was once a boxer he gives it his all to win and I believe eventually he does manage knock the robots head off to some degree but again Twilight Zone never usually has a optimistic approach when it came to their selection of episodes, the negativity is what gave it a rather unique feature..

[Bagheadman]

It actually turned out to be pretty great. Souhm.

Irony.

[Nicsho]

I'm getting so sick of the "Epic Trailer Music" in everything now. Great episode.

[gladstonew]

yes!

[Catchcamatian]

I liked the tarantino/rodriguez sound effect at "put on your glasses". Was it in Grindhouse?

[criss461]

the movie is the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!! shut up fat ass

[mymalovenaka]

You suck is the best real steel is the best

[alwaysxnever]

Thought this is a VERY formulaic Spielberg film I found it enjoyable. Jackman and Mackie were great in the role but many of the other cast members were just plot devices and stereotypes but the robot interaction was fantastic. SPOLIER? Smart-alec kids aren't cute or entertaining to me.

[Rayzorbladez]

The HBN glasses, the Ghostbuster spoof, and the Gaysex had me laughing.

[PhillyBluntsDoItRite]

DEAR GOD YES!!!!!!!!

[MrCaptaincolbertfan]

He'll make up for it in the Les Mis movie. He better.

[Meleth28]

Abbey Road T-shirt. Pretty cool 10-year-old.

[Nickdiaublow]

He's Back!

[Starlord1999]

Rock Em Sock Em Robots - The Movie. What's next, Chutes and Ladders?

[alwaysxnever]

@Starlord1999 Apparently I read that an actual Rock em' movie was in development along with a company buying the rights for Chutes. I hope that was just an odd dream I had.

[YoungBrave2006]

You want to go see it not because of Hugh Jackman; but because it has robots fighting in it. Who doesn't like robots beating the crap out of each other? Nobody, that's who.

[gladstonew]

what bug?

[AvengerXP]

I missed this because of the Youtube sub box bug I think, so glad I checked all my subs

[TheNickLovin]

I would watch the everloving fuck out of Ghostbustin' Gangsters.

[ogbust1]

Real Steel turned out to be good. They're radio controled Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots with pop locking dance moves and have no problem kicking a bull in the ass…go see it!

[xZippy38]

Good to have you back, Gladdy.

[howincrediblyshit]

Holy shit! New HBN! I'm so fucking happy right now! Yes!

[wolfmanrulz]

The Glasses do nothing

[technicallyabsurd]

"Is "Real Steel" The Worst Hugh Jackman Movie Ever?"

No, it'd have to be pretty bad to beat "The Fountain"

[cheapsuit91]

@technicallyabsurd you have to be intelligent in order to understand and like the fountain!

[guguigugu]

idunno, robots boxing? id watch that, hugh jackman or not...

[Crosshair250]

Its great to have you back Gladstone.

[Hilkito]

Good to have you back, G-stone!

[gladstonew]

First of all, that's not a lot of money compared to what I'm getting through my site. Also, I don't qualify. Even though clearly altering existing media for the purposes of satire and its fair use, they would never allow that.

[srinivas1015]

@gladstonew - Why dont you become a YouTube partner? I think you can make some money off your videos as well. Btw, good to see you back

[posthumorknightly]

Go Gladstone!

[badwolf359]

Thumbs up for the leisure suit!

[brandon530319]

G-Stone! Great to have you back.

[oldmanmike89]

Ah... I can already tell where they're going with this. I will bet any money that as the former number 2 boxer in the world, the robot he "trains" will face it's biggest challenge in a climactic fight against the champion robot (who we'll later find out has the skills and moves of the former number 1 boxer) in which while damaged, Hugh Jackman's robot will pull off an amazing comeback and take the title. Hugh Jackman will cry, the annoying kid will cry, and we'll all die a little on the inside.

[Archedgar]

@oldmanmike89 Wow, that might be 100% dead on.

[Archedgar]

@oldmanmike89 Wow, that might be 100 percent dead on.

[BadwickHoneycutt]

@oldmanmike89 Die from be TOUCHED SO HARD, AMIRITE?

[HeartAttack1990]

"Do I want to have sex with Hugh Jackman?"

The question should rather be... who doesn't?

[alexicon89]

Stop playing with little kids Gladstone!!

Jk

[grits207]

I wish The ExorSlips was a real movie.

[meisterchardin]

Surprising how Gladstone enjoys losing his head. Just another proof he is from another dimesion...

[dyingwreck]

amazing... as always

[coffeeninja88]

No joke, when I first saw this trailer; I really thought they were overselling the whole "one robot punched the other robot's head off" part, to the extent that I was positive this was actually a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie until the moment they showed the title.

[AlannaVicious]

This reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode, Steel, where boxing is outlawed for humans but androids are allowed.

[1010111101]

Supposedly this film is based off of a short story called "Steel" written in 1958. The plot was exactly the same as this movie. However, nobody thought of that at any point in the production or release of this movie.

[Vehementi]

My life feels whole again.

[dantezco]

"Spread this video like chlamydia", you mean, mention it while we have unprotected sex?

[ShtikMahn]

@dantezco Who mentions chlamydia during unprotected sex?

[dantezco]

@ShtikMahn You never know, man, there's some crazy people in this world. Look at Hugh Jackman!

[jessieheartsyou]

<3

[randomKM]

I liked the part with the sarcasm.

[anhero86]

I'm surprised he didn't mention Robot Jox, but then again there's a very good chance he's never even heard of it.

[cerebrix]

The bar is open again

[hitmansnightmare]

To think that the idea it was based on came from the same person as "I Am Legend".

Then again, maybe the source was a better story.

[0m4lley]

Whoo! HBN is Back!

[viperrw]

Your neighbours kid Johnny has really grown up!

[OgreVI]

@viperrw

I bet Gladstone can still trick him into sticking a fork in his eye, though.

[mcsnwv]

Yes!!!

[Shauny7488]

Saw my name in the credits BOOYA! You have made my day Gladstone.

[postal2600]

Heeeey!! Welcome back!!! :D
