Old Tonn wrote a book! That’s right, a book about his experiences as a scrapper actor! It’s funny and terrifying all at once! Order a copy today! Here’s the link:
Old Tonn did a regional spot that will only air in Atlanta…thought you Pigs fans that don’t live there might want to see it. Wouldn’t want you to miss the opportunity for posting your snarky comments.
Turns out, sequels are almost never as good as the original! Even when the original wasn’t that big a deal to begin with! Who knew? (The Pigs knew. But they like to point the same things out over and over again…) (IMDb)
Featured Film Pigs Listicle: Most Obnoxious Mechanical Thing In A Movie
Law Abiding Citizen is a movie so engaging, so socially relevant, and so masterful in its execution that Todd had to buy the Unrated Director’s Cut Blu-Ray edition so he could see it in all its pristine gloryFOR THE THIRD TIME. Todd has a terrible problem, but we’re not sure the Pasadena Recovery Center has a program for people who are compelled to buy every single plastic and metal disc that contains moving pictures.
The best thing about LAC is that it is composed mostly of long, boring scenes of people talking which get interrupted once in a while by scenes of terrible violence and/or gore. The director’s cut shows way more gore than the theatrical release (steak bone, I’m looking in your direction). Plus, you get to play an interesting thought experiment where you try to explain why Gerard Butler keeps getting to make high-profile studio pictures when they do nothing but bomb (Answer: he’s pretty).
NOTE: This Film Pigs commentary is for the “Unrated Director’s Cut” on the 2-disc Blu-Ray and not the theatrical release. We felt it was important to force ourselves to sit through the director’s true vision.

What it says on the back of the plastic, environmentally irresponsible packaging:
Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York) teams Kurt Russell’s outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antartic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror, and becomes one of them.
