I liked it but thought it was too much of a tease--if you're going to put someone as hot as Jessica Alba in your movie and then parade her around in a pair of panties, then you MUST at least show her bare ass!!!! If she won't do it, fire her and hire someone who will. We're making Idle Hands, for God's sake, not The Seven Samurai (which could have also been improved with a bare ass, as long as it wasn't Mifune's). Had the same problem with Gator Bait--I've seen Claudia Jennings naked in other movies a million times, but if you're going to parade her around almost popping out of that outfit for 90 minutes, then you're obligated to show the goods. Stuart Gordon knows, and everyone else needs to learn it!!!!

By the way--has anyone actually seen Jessica Alba nude in something? I generally can't watch the crap she stars in, but will fastforward for boobs.

well in answer to the original question, i thought it was boring and crap. didnt really care about the characters, the humour was ok (his friends coming back from the dead and still being laid back, and the hand burning in the microwave) but not enough to save the movie IMO.

I thought Idol Hands was a decent effort and it made me laugh in some parts. Especially the hardcore guy listening to Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil. I found it in the 5 dollar bin and that's about as much as I would pay for it.

I didn't say horror had to equal porn. I'm a big fan of Universal and Hammer stuff, and I PROMISE I have seen lots more "classy" films than you have. What I said was grade Z crap like Idle Hands SHOULD be sleazy. They ain't called exploitaion for nothing. Watching stuff like I Spit and Pit and the Pendelum is entirely different from watching porn (though personally I don't see anything wrong with watching porn). And I don't need a 'ho (thanks for the lesson in ebonics, by the way), I have a girlfriend.

now you have something against ebonics..you know what i think you are besides a horn-dog...and as far as class goes..you have nothing on me....for as much as you talk about the nudity that you get off on in horror movies sounds like your little chicker doodle isn't doing a very good job...


INFLATE-A-MATE'S DON'T COUNT AS PEOPLE!!!!!! get a new girlfriend.
