According to my sources (Internet and TV, dont fail me now) Crank 2: High Voltage is set for release in theaters on the Friday 17th of April.
Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.
Oh this one'll be fun! Total non-stop action, Jason Stathom being Jason Stathom, and complete and utter nonesense. Perfect for "Share The Pain!"
This is VERY short notice, granted, but who would like to join me in the first "fur-meet" iteration of this event? Dont worry about my feelings if no one shows up, because of the short notice and incredible lack of activity in this specific section of the forum, Ive prepared my experience to Share the Pain alone on this one
If you feel you can drop what your doing Friday night and come join me at the Grand10 for some fun, perfect! And ill see you there!

Simple Q&A:
Q: What is Share The Pain?
A: "Share the Pain" is the name/label of a regular event hosted by DJCoyote (Kyle Harrison) where an attempted group of willing souls get together to experience a movie (mostly on Opening night), that promises/expects less than A material. Movie themes range from cheesy horror flicks to Media Adaptions (Legend of Chun-Li for example) and of all subcultures and fandom interests.
Q: Why subject ourselves to this?
A: For fun. Thats all. Experiencing a crappy movie by yourself or with a loved one is never a gratifying experience, in fact it can be downright offensive to how much money you feel you've just wasted. Solid Documented Scientific Evidence (conducted by yours truly) has proven that experiencing the same movie with a group of associated people ranging from strangers to close friends has a vastly different effect on how much entertainment you can receive from your movie going experience, when your quite literally "sharing the pain"
Q: What about 'good movies'?
A: This event will be planned for and eventually made. But this day and age far less good promising movies are planned, and the event hasn't run as successfully in the past as Share The Pain.
Alot of what makes a 'good film' is a very subjective statement. Share The Pain is reserved for the following credentials:
1. Incredibly goofy premise
(Dragonball: Evolution can fall under this category)2. Completely FarFetched Plot
(Land of the Lost with Will Ferrel for example)3. Known Botched attempt at something awesome
(The Resident Evil Live Action Films for example)4. Complete machismo and ball-to-the-wall action with little to no reason/substance behind it.
(Crank and Max Payne fall under this)5. Epic Grandiose Failures
(Legend of Chun-Li can fall under this category) Sometime in the future, an event for Hopeful Good Movies will open up, such as for Terminator 4, Inglorious Basterds, or even Public Enemies.
Again, all of these are completely subjection to your personal opinion of what makes a good film. Either way, itll fall under one of the two events.
