Hope I didn’t get anyone’s hopes up about the Hobo With a Shotgun spin-off movie that would feature the crowd favorite villains, The Plague. No, while that film is absolutely and truly necessary, what we have here is an unrated (and quite bloody) clip from Hobo. We’ve already seen The Plague by this point but their little visit to their unsuspecting local hospital to find the Hobo is quite the treat. I told you in my review how amazing these characters are but now you can see for yourself.
Not to be outdone, Rutger Hauer has a clip of his own up now, courtesy of Yahoo. At this point the Hobo has seen enough death and destruction to last a lifetime, and is about to set forth on his final mission. Who does he talk to? A group of little babies, of course, with a speech that will coldcock you right in the heart. It’s deep, man.
Did you watch Hobo With A Shotgun yet? What are you waiting for? It’s on VOD right now, so don’t bootleg it.

Normally, I subscribe to “less is more”, but I would so be down for a The Plague movie. SO DOWN. Hope it happens.
I second this notion, all the way up through the ceiling panels and into the rafters.
I’ve got to be honest, I want to see this bad but I will not be catching it on VOD. This thing of releasing Internet-popular films on VOD and then setting the price at $10 is to me purely a way to screw us, the film fanatics. MONSTERS was ten bucks. CENTURION was ten bucks. Now HOBO is ten bucks. Fuck that, I don’t think it’s cool that they’re trying to gouge the fanbase. I’ll pay, for sure, but not at anal rape rates.
That’s kind of a lame argument BruceL. Paying $10 for a movie isn’t bad considering you are essentially paying one flat rate to exhibit the film. It’s a lot better than charging $10 per person which is what any normal theater would do.
The point I was making is different than what you’re talking about. I believe the $10 is only because they are specifically targeting the film fan that is active online and who is specifically looking forward to certain movies. And in that context, I don’t like the fact that I’ve got to pay a premium just because I’m one of a select few that actually knows this movie even exists.
But to your point; I don’t get it. How is pre-release VOD different conceptually from a post-release rental? It’s not, but the prices are different. Pre-release VOD CENTURION was ten bucks, and right now it’s four. I posit that this is because they knew there were a bunch of us Neil Marshall fanboys dying to catch his latest flick and they figured they could fuck us up the ass.
And also, you know that the reason a ticket in a theater is $10 is because of the additional benefit of the huge-format screen (well, theoretically) and the advanced audio presentation (well, theoretically)? Ten bucks for the absolute shit quality image that we get with the VOD right now is fucking lame.
I will absolutely pay some money to see this, either in theaters or VOD when the price is in line with everything else, but I resent this blatant squeezing of the knowledgeable film fan.
