It was mentioned in passing

[All Hail Duke]

fellini's casanova
that was pretty damned weird

[Kitsa]

I've known about the foot fetish thing for a very long time, but every once in a while when someone directly addresses it, it seems weird and uncomfortable. Like when he was on Tyra and she said "I know what YOUUUUU LIIIKE" and took off her shoe and waggled her foot in front of him.

The scene where Salma Hayek poured booze down her leg, over her foot, into his mouth made me similarly uncomfortable, although I'm not exactly sure why. I don't have a problem with foot fetishes in theory.

I myself am quite safe from Mr Tarantino, as he seems to like long, bony feet with skinny bony toes, and mine look nothing like that. Also because I don't know the man at all.

[Fathom Zero]

I don't understand why fetishes creep people out any more than "normal" sex.

[Pentegarn]

Since you asked that, I wonder if normal sex creeps out people with fetishes?

[Fathom Zero]

As someone with (a number of) fetishes, I can say that all sex is off-putting at a certain level.

[Kitsa]

That's part of it.

I was going to say it was the overtness of the sexuality, but that's not it exactly. It's more the unexpected intimacy. He's not playing someone who gets off at (fetish), he's actually getting off on it then. I mean, it's not like he's whipping it out in scene or something, but it's in the background somewhere.

[Fathom Zero]

WHAT'S IN A MOTIF?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just saw Horrible Bosses. My date suggested it on the basis of Jennifer Aniston raping that dude from It's Always Sunny, so we came for that (and boy did we!) but stayed for the comedy, because it was actually really funny. Kevin Spacey has some great moments. It just sucks that he's the only boss that really gets much screentime, cause I wanted to see more of Colin Farell and Aniston.

tempted to sig this

[Fathom Zero]

Do it. It's cringe-y enough.

I'm about to watch the Long Kiss Goodnight. I'll let you guys know how that goes in a couple hours.

Bonus points for the craziest fucking car crash I've ever seen in a movie.

[Fathom Zero]

Long Kiss Goodnight - one of the craziest action movies ever. Lot's of explosions. Awww yeh. I'm a sucker for lady assassin movies.

[WhiteRat]

The Babe - Hollywood's version of Babe Ruth's life story with John Goodman portraying Ruth.
If you like baseball it's worth a watch.

I liked the first half of it. It gets worse as it goes on. Especially with the climax.

It has a "The Natural" feel to it if memory serves, I didn't hate it.

I think I wouldn't hate it if people didn't defend it and I hadn't wasted money to see that pile of shit in theaters.

[Pentegarn]

Never saw that one, but I was done with Bond movies after the whole "Christmas comes more than once a year" line

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Never saw that one, but I was done with Bond movies after the whole "Christmas comes more than once a year" line

Thats my favorite. Except when they toned it down for the N64 version ending and he's all just like "Merry Christmas" instead.

edit: Meant it as "That's my favorite bond one liner, not my bond favorite movie."

Favorite bond movie is torn between new casino royale, a view to a kill and live and let die.

[Pentegarn]

Thing is the Bond movie one liners were more sophisticated than that back in their heyday. I blame devolved writers trying to be edgy though

Saw Thor and man it was dang forgettable. The fun was mostly imagining the lead as a euro fantasy metal head living it up.

I guess I would have to read some Thor to really enjoy it. idk

You pretty much deacribed rock and roll nightmare. Piece of 80's terribleness.

[Shyandquietguy]

I just saw most of Microcosmos. Really neat nature documentary as it doesn't explain the motives or what is even going on. There are some parts where it seems to drag on but it's alright. Awesome parts
SPOILERS
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SHIT!!!
I started rooting for a ladybug getting it on mainly because he was having a hard time getting a grip! Then there was a puddle with ants surrounding it. One of them looked up to check the surrounding and resumed drinking. I couldn't help but imagine an ant sized crocodile lunging and dragging him underneath when the camera cut off.

And sadly my god damn computer can't do HD streaming without it being unbearable. Fuck you 3 year old computer. I don't have money for you. >:(

[Mad Melvin]

I just bought Fisher King and that Larry Flint movie with Woody Harrelson. Don't remember anything about either of them. I'll post my opinion later when I have watched them. Stay tuned and try not to shit your pants from the excitement.

[Fathom Zero]

About to watch Subway. Have immensely high hopes for it. I don't think I'll be disappointed.

3UdKO5H5ML4

[Mad Melvin]

People vs. Larry Flynt was pretty good. Seemed like there were a lot of scenes missing, though. The whole movie was in fast forward. It still worked, but I would have liked if the movie was a bit longer.

Suprisingly, I really liked Courtney Love's performance. Especially towards the end. But then again, how hard it is for her to play a junkie.

[Pentegarn]

One of my favorite places to eat is in the background of a scene when he is in Ohio

[Shrubfest]

I actually enjoyed Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle. In a non-sex way. She's really charismatic.

And also apparently now has a Doctorate.

[Fathom Zero]

About to watch Subway. Have immensely high hopes for it. I don't think I'll be disappointed.

It was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I was so sad when it had to end. I don't think I can watch it ever again. :(

[Kitsa]

I always thought she should have gotten the Nancy Spungen role in "Sid and Nancy", instead of just a bit part.

[Geggy]

Adjustment bureau. Horrible acting but still an interesting movie nonetheless

[Mad Melvin]

Fisher King

Remember when Terry Gilliam made good movies? Yeah, this is one of them. Just pure awesomeness.

[All Hail Duke]

silence of the lambs

-just as good as ever

[Tadao]

Insidious creeped me out a few times but all in all it was a lame movie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Is that the movie where Matt Damon is running?

Mystery Team

I can only sit through the first hour of this movie usually, but the first hour is funny as shit.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Mystery team is hilarious. I wasn't expecting much from it so it was all the more pleasant.

[Tadao]

88 minutes was predictable and stupid. Al Pacino's worst movie that I know of.

[Fathom Zero]

I hated that movie so much. Fuck Pacino, his orange hair, and his lifts.

[Tadao]

Yeah, his hair was bugging me. Like it was full of helium.

[k0k0]

I think he runs in all of his movies. Bourne supremacy, adjustment bureau, the ending of good will hunting.

I saw captain America yesterday. Surpringly entertaining. I'd rate it up there with dark Knight and iron man. But I didn't Like the way he portrayed himself as poster boy of lebron james generation during the introduction on stage.

[Pentegarn]

Actually his on stage stuff was a fairly accurate portrayal of WWII era patriotic propaganda. It amused me for that reason

[Dixie]

Saw captain america yesterday. it was far better than i expected.
excellent.

[WhiteRat]

I had lower expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. I thought it was a bit too long than it probably should of been but wasn't terrible so that was good.

[Kitsa]

La Faute à Fidel (Blame it on Fidel).

I read reviews that this was a really charming coming-of-age movie, but it was really sad and depressing and slow. It's about as cheery as Mouchette, which ends with

the little-girl protagonist getting raped and offing herself.

Blame it on Fidel is about this little French girl who comes from a wealthy but not necessarily happy family. While she's attending her aunt and uncle's wedding at her wealthy grandparents' vineyard, she becomes aware that her dad's sister is there with her daughter, Pilar. They're refugees from Franco's Spain, and their arrival in France is a sort of catalyst for her parents going completely politically flaky.

Most of the early movie is about the girl's (Anna's) privileged life...convent schools, huge house, vacations in the country, swim meets, and so on. But as her dad and mom become "inspired" to be social activists, her childhood as she knew it gradually disappears. The parents, giving not a single shit about how it'll affect their kids' happiness or stability, decide suddenly to become communists, run off to Chile, trade the big house for a cramped apartment filled with "revolutionaries", and so on. The mother, who had a cushy writing job with Marie-Claire, decides to randomly and fervently adopt feminist causes instead. The kids are just kind of lost in all of this. They never know who they'll meet coming home from school, because their parents ditched the nanny they grew up with in favor of various refugee women.

Soon, the poor kids are so confused they don't know what's right anymore. Their grandparents are strict, moneyed Catholics and represent the comfort the children are used to; the parents are fickle and sort of fashionably Communist and get pissed if the kids don't jump on all the arbitrary bandwagons they do. At one point, they actually drag the little girl to a protest march, not seeming to care when she gets tear-gassed and lost.

The girl gets in some good observations, asking them if they really understand the difference between "group solidarity" and "sheep-thinking". She appears scowling and thoughtful throughout the movie, like she's trying to assemble some sort of belief system from all the crap that's being thrown at her.

I'm not exactly sure what point the director was wanting to make, so I took from it that her parents' fickleness and unreliability, combined with what she absorbed and observed, made her a stronger and smarter kid.

By the end of the movie I really hated her parents, but she seemed to grow to accept them.

One of the sadder parts for me was the repetition of scenes where kids wanted to "Sunday" (sort of a French family thing where the entire family hangs out together, it's called "Sundaying") and the parents eventually just blew them off altogether with some sort of crap about bourgeois yadda yadda.

Depressing movie.

[All Hail Duke]

south park bigger, longer and uncut

love this movie to bits

[Tadao]

Watched Young Guns for the 12th time. :wank

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Dinner for Schmucks was really funny.

Halway through watching iron man 2.

[Aaarg]

re-watched mr vampire

because mr vampire is great

[Tadao]

Red Riding Hood

It was alright I guess. Better than I expected. IDK what to say about it really. Worth watching on a calm day, not much action.

[All Hail Duke]

the dead zone and the american

both very good and the latter is criminally underrated (at least i think so)

[Kitsa]

Party Monster. Great movie overall, although I saw a couple of things yoinked from other places that could easily have just been the "New York in the 70s-80s" thing talking.

Loved Seth Green. Marilyn Manson was so good as a scene tranny that I thought he was one, like Candy Darling or something.

Could not freaking stand Macaulay Culkin.

[All Hail Duke]

the town

eh, it was ok but got bored watching it

[Tadao]

Battle : Los Angeles was predictable and there is no way Marines would walk around in the open and talk so much chit chat during an alien attack.

[Zomboid]

Watched Young Guns for the 12th time. :wank
I fucking love that movie. I wish I had a gang that I could shout "REGULATORS!" to.

I just watched some mediocre movies on Netflix. I expected watchable shit from them, and that's what I got.

Feast
Doomsday
The Sentinel (though this one was the best of the bunch and is kind of extra enjoyable simply because it's an old horror movie with a bunch of well-known actors.)

[Fathom Zero]

Cowboys & Aliens. Silly little movie that was well worth the price of free that I paid to see it.

Daniel Craig is so dreamy. As was Olivia Wilde.

srsly, the whole movie was a good time, even though it was all pretty predictable. And it's got Sam Rockwell and Clancy Brown in it. :O

[k0k0]

It would have been better if it was just a western with those characters.

[All Hail Duke]

tales from the hood

good stuff

Me and my roommate would constantly be like "AHHH YES, THE SHIT!"

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I watched that again for the first time in years sometime last summer. I loved the one with the little puppets.

Last night, I watched "The Station Agent," which was very, very enjoyable. Peter Dinklage is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors.

[All Hail Duke]

captain america

thought it was pretty good, evans' head on the small body was goofy as hell looking though

[Tadao]

Sucker Punch : I can't say that I enjoyed it. The plot was meh and there was not nearly enough ass shots.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Sucker punch is a well named movie. You think you're going to be watching something totally awesome. Then as soon as she gets locked up its all downhill.

I bought Rango, Hobo With A Shotgun, and Tangled the other day. So far I've only watched through Rango, and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it.


I also watched The Outlaw Josey Wales yesterday. I love me some classic Eastwood westerns.

[k0k0]

Watched Run Ronnie Run again tonight. Is an excellent movie for the first half of it, then just kind of peters out. It's still worth it for the first half alone though.

I bet you find Coen Brothers films too hard to follow. You probably look at other people and try to gauge when to laugh.

[WhiteRat]

Saw Transformers 3 today. I'm by no means a fan of the series; only saw the first and thought it was ok at best. This one, aside from being long as all hell, surprisingly wasn't bad. 6 out of 10 stars or something like that.

I saw this for the first time a few months ago and wasn't really impressed. If someone buys me the Jiffy Pop brand popcorn I would be willing to give it another shot.

[Mad Melvin]

Super 8

Meh. The child actors didn't make me want to kill myself, so that's a plus. A few good scenes, but overall the movie was just too dumb to enjoy.

[Nick]

My friend went to see that yesterday, and said it was a great movie. Something about how everything but the story was fun. I didn't think it looked all that interesting to watch.

[Mad Melvin]

Yeah, sure. It's a great movie if you enjoy the following things:

A plot we've seen a thousand times before (excluding the alien bit), shitload of plotholes and other stupidities, a monster that is copy-pasted straight from Cloverfield (only scaled to a smaller size) and top that off with characters you don't care about.

[darkvare]

Last night I watched Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Timecop and everything was right with the world.

Fucking love tales from the hood

Me and my roommate would constantly be like "AHHH YES, THE SHIT!"
Can someone help me out, I remember a similar movie to Tales from the Hood where an young basketball player is murdered by his father and has his feet cut off so he would fit in a coffin, only to come back to life later and control his separated feet to kill the man.

I had thought it was a part of Tales of the Hood, but after rewatching it, I found out it wasn't. Anyone have any clue?

[k0k0]

I believe you're thinking of Tales from the Crypt: Episode 212 "Fitting Punishment"

[Nick]

Wow, thanks. I have no idea how I got that confused with a story for Tales from the Hood. Must have been the whole mortician angle.

[k0k0]

No, it's because the show used nothing but black actors for this story when the only black people it had up until this one were a pimp, a whore, and a voodoo priestess.

[Nick]

It is a really great episode, though. I've just started watching it on youtube.

The Powerpuff Girls Movie

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watching fear. Never seen it before. Mark wahlburg fingerbangs reese witherspoon on a register. Then mark goes also crazy but still badass as shit.

[WhiteRat]

True Grit

Despite all the accolades and great reviews it didn't manage to let me down. Not the greatest film i've seen but a pretty damn good one. James Brolin did a great job in the limited time he had and Matt Damon was actually like able for once.

[darkvare]

i like how he talks once he bites his tongue

[Aaarg]

last hurrah for chivalry
this movie is awesome how had i not seen this one yet? what i like about this one is that there are fights almost constantly. it's not like other wuxias in which they sometimes spend a bit too much time on plot progression and character development. this one is basically "hey you owe me money" "i'm not going to give it to you!" [fight ensues] -SCENE-
"that's a nice sword." "thanks i use it to do this" [fight ensues] -SCENE-

opera (dario argento)
definitely the type of silly slasher film that has you shouting "just leave the house/just call the police/etc." like a jackass. also silly italian iron maiden rip-offs come nowhere close to the awesome power of GOBLIN, sorry dario.

project a, dragon lord, island of fire
lumping these together because they're all jackie chan/sammo hung/yuen biao/mars movies and they're all equally as awesome being so.

the myth (jackie chan)
to be fair we only watched this one because project a-2 wouldn't load and we didn't feel like re-watching who am i? but i'd much rather see jackie fight in a small barn than in front of a green screen. too much budget and too little substance, but the dude is old as fuck and puts so much into his movies, so whatever. it wasn't bad, just stupid.

Watching fear. Never seen it before. Mark wahlburg fingerbangs reese witherspoon on a register. Then mark goes also crazy but still badass as shit.

haha i just remember the scene with the dog. :(

[Krythor]

The first time I saw True Grit, three obese slugs sat in front of me talking all the way through it, rustling their wrappers, and not once but twice the one person's phone rang. I thought she had turned it off after the first time but then it rang five minutes later. All through this, I didn't realise but I was developing a flu. I was freezing cold and just thought the air conditioning was up really high, but by later that night I was in bed, fully clothed, shivering and wishing I was dead.

The second time I watched it was on a shitty ancient DVD player and the disc kept skipping and going out of synch.

Despite all of this, I thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

[Kitsa]

I watched O Brother Where Art Thou again. Usually when I catch it on TV it's already up to the flood scene, and I wanted to just sit down and watch the whole thing. I love the soundtrack.

[Aaarg]

one time i came home and my cancer-ridden mother was sitting in the living room, in the dark, listening to that soundtrack. at that point, it was on ralph stanley's rendition of "o death." pleasant! i love the john hartford instrumentals on that album though.

[Kitsa]

I'm not big on hymns, but I really love "O Come Angel Band"

[Pentegarn]

Watched Heartbreak Ridge. Another great Eastwood flick

[Mad Melvin]

Watched Heartbreak Ridge. Another great Eastwood flick

I've seen it once, but I remember it was stupid as hell. Eastwood is always cool, but the rest of the movie was just bad. It's been a decade since I saw it, so I might be wrong.

[Pentegarn]

Eastwood is always cool

And that's why it was great

[Kitsa]

Rooster Cogburn.

I dunno. I mean, it's sort of an attempt to stretch out the True Grit thing with a female lead old enough to be a noncreepy love interest. Still avenging a murdered father, still more manly than womanly, and so on. It's the only time that John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn ever appeared together and it's like his second-to-last movie or something, so I guess if you're into westerns you should watch it just to watch it.

I thought Jeff Bridges played a better drunk Rooster Cogburn than John Wayne did, but that's just me.

Have you ever noticed that people with healthy eyes who wear eyepatches inevitably curl their lips on the side with the patch? Maybe they feel like they need to hold the patch on with their cheek.

[Pentegarn]

I am betting it is just a facial reaction to how the eyepatch feels

[Kitsa]

"The Basketball Diaries". Loved the novel, couldn't stand the over the top 90s-ness of the film adaptation. All of the performances seemed vaguely on the verge of hysterics for me. The whole thing felt like a Lifetime Original Movie.

Also, Leonardo DiCaprio was too pretty to play a convincing junkie.

[Kitsa]

The Owl and the Sparrow. Predictable but sweet movie. A little Vietnamese girl flees her mean uncle's sweatshop and runs off to Saigon. While there, she is befriended by street urchins and told how to make money to survive...first by selling postcards on the street, then by becoming a "flower girl"...(sort of like a pimp-prostitute setup, only she's wearing a school uniform and selling flowers and turning all the money over to the "flower lady"). She befriends a sad zookeeper who's stalking his ex, then she befriends a lonely flight attendant who can't find the right guy, and so of course she has to bring them together. The amazing thing is that she secures this new life for herself in five days.

[Kitsa]

"Following Sean". It was a good premise but it sort of rambled and took forever. It could easily have been 45 minutes shorter.

It was about the making of the documentary "Sean", which was a series of interviews of a 4 year old growing up with hippie parents in the Haight-Ashbury in...I think 1969. "Following Sean" was supposed to be a continuation, checking back in with him, seeing what he was like as an adult.

Except it sort of meandered and became more about the filmmaker. Would have been fine, but it could've been done differently...I think the filmmaker ultimately talked more about himself than the subject of the documentary, and to me it came off as a little gratuitous.

[k0k0]

Watched the movie "Stuck", about a guy who gets trapped in a windshield after a woman runs him over while high/drunk. She leaves him in the garage to die and he has to escape. Despite how boring the premise sounds, it's actually really really good.

[Kitsa]

That kind of sounds like that "Thanks for the ride, lady" from...what was that, like the first Creepshow or the second?

[Pentegarn]

Second one I believe

[k0k0]

It was like that but more thriller focused and less horror.

[Kitsa]

Rewatched "Paper Moon". Fucking love that movie. Showed it to Mr. Kitsa and he's watching it for the second time today, right now.

I briefly considered dressing my daughter as Addie, since she has the same scowl and haircut, but then I thought no one would get that as a halloween costume.

edit: one of my favorite parts is when Madeline Kahn is putting on the sugary charm for the little girl, and she's smiling and coaxing as she struggles uphill toward her, and she trips and shouts "Son of a bitch!". God, I love Madeline Kahn.

[b_squared]

Watched Jack the Giant Killer being riffed by Riff trax guys. Probably not to hard to riff such an awful movie, but it was fun. The stop motion monsters were horrible. Ray Harryhausen did stop motion the best.

[Mad Melvin]

Toto The Hero http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0103105/

Fucking amazing. I remember seeing this about a decade ago and it made a huge impression in my young mind. For some weird reason, I never watched it again until now. It isn't as emotionally powerful as I remembered it to be, but it still holds up. If you enjoy Jean Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, City Of Lost Children...) movies, you'll propably like this one too.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

^
I'll check that out then, I really liked both of his other movies you mentioned.

The colors, surrealism and overall mood of the movie is quite similar to Amelie, but Toto is somewhat darker.

Innocent Until Proven Filthy 4.

There's a GREAT scene in which this butch haired blonde goes absolutely crazy while ridin' this dude while a busty blonde rides the dudes face. Really riveting stuff.

[Kitsa]

"World's Greatest Dad", starring Robin Williams and written/directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. I know, I know. But.

Fuck.

First of all, I would not have believed Bobcat Goldthwait was capable of writing such a thing. He probably gets that a lot, or underappreciation wouldn't have been a major plot element. There are so many levels and things going on, I don't even know where to start.

Second, what a fucking uncomfortable "dark comedy". I could have happily gone the rest of my life without seeing Robin Williams' dick, thanks.

Third, even if you hate Robin Williams (and that's the first thing I said when the movie was loading), watch it, it's good.

[k0k0]

I saw it. It didn't seem dark enough to me really. It seems like it's headed that way and then pulls out before the big sploosh. And I don't remember robin william's penis at all, so that's a plus.

[dextire]

The new Fright Night. It's actually a pretty badass movie.
Too bad no one will see it because they would sooner rub ghost peppers in their eyes than watch another remake. :\

[Kitsa]

I loved the old Fright Night and I'm a little afraid of the new one ruining it for me.

Found "A Serious Man" on ebay for $1.99 and re-watched it tonight. It's my favorite Coen Brothers movie, but pretty dark. The whole Book of Job thing is a concept I'm all too familiar with, so I think I identify with this one more than, say, a stolen carpet or a dildo exercise machine or whatever.

I was honestly pissed when I heard they made the new Fright Night, but it was done right.
It never felt like they were just rehashing the original with crappier actors, or pissing on the original in a attempt to make it more "real".

All of the old rules are there (you must have faith for the cross to work, you have to invite the vampire in, etc.) and Dr. Who was great as Peter Vincent without even trying to compete with Roddy McDowall.
Oh, and the cameo is awesome too. :)

[Supafly345]

I watched this fucking anime
f3ST6rmo3Z4
And it was really really good, despite the obvious handicap of being an anime.

[Fathom Zero]

Ahhh, that's Satoshi Kon's work. I love 'im. It's too bad we won't see anything else from him. :(

[Supafly345]

Yeah, he died before I even knew who he was =(

[kahljorn]

i didn't like that movie :(

i liked perfect blue and paranoia agent a lot though :O

[Fathom Zero]

Paprika was amazing, too.

jJzEW_eE1G0

I love it when people mess around in dream worlds.

[Tadao]

The new Fright Night. It's actually a pretty badass movie.
Too bad no one will see it because they would sooner rub ghost peppers in their eyes than watch another remake. :\

So, I'm watching Priest and while it's not a great movie, at least it isn't a remake of a movie that's only a few decades old.

Did it really need to be updated or should the produces actually have scoured the books and comics looking for something interesting to turn into a movie?

It's not like there isn't a million hungry writers out there. These movie makers are just trying to get a money for nothing.

[Tadao]

I was watching Platoon last night and came across a sample than Ministry used in the song "Flashback"

pXf2X--4xeI

I always wondered what they were saying. :lol

[Fathom Zero]

Platoon - better than Apocalypse.

I'm calling it.

[Tadao]

I'm gonna put :
Apocalypse
Platoon
and
Full Metal Jacket
on 1 Dual layer DVD.

I think that's sweet. :O

[Womti]

Dogma, which the ending of I a m fascinated by. although, doesnt anyone realize that it was AFTER this movie that Alanis Morissette came into the world?

[Pentegarn]

Don't lie to us, everyone knows the community center wouldn't show a movie like that

[Womti]

Red, pay attention. >:

[Fathom Zero]

I'm gonna put :
Apocalypse
Platoon
and
Full Metal Jacket
on 1 Dual layer DVD.

I think that's sweet. :O

That's a sexy DVD. I still love Apocalypse. Goddamn those are good movies.

[Tadao]

The funny thing is my air conditioner fan was making whoop whoop helicopter noises last night and I was worried that I was gonna have a dream about Vietnam and hell. :lol

[Kitsa]

Cropsey. It was creepy and all but it felt like it was going to go on for fucking ever.

[Kitsa]

Lenny, the Lenny Bruce biopic that Bob Fosse did. I suppose next I should watch All that Jazz.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Wow it was ridiculously awesome. My favorite part is where there is a montage of Cap and the Commandos wrecking havoc. Cut to Cap riding his motorcycle away and then Red Skull arriving in his hydra/hitler car and shakes his fists menacingly in the air.

It reminded me of something out of animal house.

[Pentegarn]

I got a nerdgasm seeing Dumdum Dugan in it

[WhiteRat]

She's Out of Your Leage.

For a bromantic comedy rife with juvenile humor it was actually pretty enjoyable.:\

[Grislygus]

Just got back from Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. (as you know) I'm a HUGE fan of del toro, and the original movie was freaky as hell when i was a kid.

It's literally just a nice, simple remake with a budget and run through guillermo-ville. People are bitching about it, blah blah blah high expectations, the monsters are goofy, critics are nitpicky fags and no horror movie on earth is actually scary for grown-ass adults. With that out of the way, it was fun as hell and I didn't regret paying for a movie ticket. my only complaint is

THE TOOTH FAIRY BULLSHIT DIDN'T WORK IN HELLBOY II, WHY WOULD YOU TRY IT IN AN ACTUAL HORROR FLICK? THEY WANT HER SOUL, ALL THAT TOOTH CRAP WAS JUST AN EXCUSE FOR THE OPENING TEETH-SMASHING SCENE AND IT'S JUST SILLY

[kahljorn]

in the mouth of madness sorta scared me when i was an adult the first couple of times i watched it :(

[k0k0]

Jurassic Park scared me when I was kind of older...13. They had a lot of jump out scares, but they were excellently done. And it was kind of a scary movie in a way.

[kahljorn]

dinosaurs always scared the shit out of me :(

until i learned to fight them in my dreams

[Kitsa]

I've never been able to stay awake through Jurassic Park. I've tried on and off ever since it came out and I've always fallen asleep partway through it, usually after the old doctor guy is scaring that kid with the dinosaur tooth or claw or something :(

[Fathom Zero]

WHAT

WHAT

sam fucking neill, kitsa. SAM NEILL.

[k0k0]

She must have narcolepsy because that was like within the first 5 minutes of the movie that sam neill scared the kid.

[Kitsa]

I'm serious, this is like a major movie-viewing problem. I've tried and tried :(

[k0k0]

I think maybe the soothing voice of sam neill makes you sleepy.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I can't find the script for JP4 that I read the synopsis of it but it involved training an elite group of raptors to became mercenary space marines....

[k0k0]

I'll be watching it no matter because for some stupid reason my brain has to see more dinosaurs. I collected every single toy as a kid and they were awesome toys. Even if Nedry looked nothing like the movie and had a water squirter for some reason. Oh, and now most of the dinosaurs you find out there have giant holes in their sides with their ribs showing because of the dino damage thing. I still loved those big rubbery beasts.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The ad at the top of the page now is Weird Al and Mike Nelson doing rifftrax for Jurassic Park. lol

<3

Those toys with the dino damage were awesome too.

[Aaarg]

ASHES OF TIME
... what?

KING BOXER
a'ight pretty good

CROSSROADS
the blues one, not the britney spears one. let's... not talk about this one. i hated it.

[Mad Melvin]

12 Monkeys + The documentary about making the film

Terry Gilliams second best movie. Bruce Willis was maybe a bit miscast, but did a good job nontheless. Thought provoking film and just hypnotic in a weird kind of way. The ending was excellent. I also liked the documentary, which actually showed how hard it was to make the movie and not just be some generic "oh we had such a good time and I love everybody and wish the world hunger would stop" bullshit.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching 12 monkeys the other day but haven't finished it yet.

[k0k0]

Too many monkeys for you?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It was too many to fit in a barrel.

[Esuohlim]

I watched Dazed and Confused last night and loved it. It's a refreshing change from most teen movies that rely on wacky antics

[Kitsa]

Tokyo Gore Police (again). It's plenty fucked, but it's not my favorite.

Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40 - typical entertaining fake Q&A monologue. I liked the bit about him grabbing a box of chicken before answering the door to the cops because (paraphrasing) "No guilty guy carries chicken".

Children of Chabannes- documentary about a school in an isolated French town that took in Jewish refugee kids, and how they lived.

[dextire]

Ernest Scared Stupid and House of Frankenstein. Getting into the spirit of things. :halloween2

[Kitsa]

Shrek Forever After. I liked it better than the last one I watched.

[Pentegarn]

Shrek Forever After was the second best Shrek

[Shyandquietguy]

I watched a half hour into Tales of Earthsea and gave up. It had a great setup and all but it was just moving way too slow.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The funny thing is my air conditioner fan was making whoop whoop helicopter noises last night and I was worried that I was gonna have a dream about Vietnam and hell. :lol

My fan and a/c were set to dubstep the other day. Couldn't fucking sleep because it sounded liked

If memory serves (and I cannot say for sure I am accurate) the book was just as slow

[darkvare]

little big top i bought this from a bargain bin only cause it had sid haig in it but i really liked it

[WhiteRat]

I watched Dazed and Confused last night and loved it. It's a refreshing change from most teen movies that rely on wacky antics

That movie was a big influence in my early drinking/drug days.

[kahljorn]

I watched highlander: source

wtf is this shit

[Fathom Zero]

I watched Dazed and Confused last night and loved it. It's a refreshing change from most teen movies that rely on wacky antics

I think you'd like Brick and Art School Confidential.

[Aaarg]

oh tokyo gore police. that was such a disappointment. i think the over-the-top japanese action swordplay movies hit their pinnacle with battlefield baseball or maybe versus/death trance. i don't really remember any of them except battlefield baseball. featuring tak sakaguchi as jubei baseball.


i watched LES VISITEURS last night, a film about jean reno as an 11th century nobleman that ends up in modern times and it's wacky and it's goofy and whatever i totally liked it.

also WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS which was just a pretty boring giant-monster-smash-tokyo-while-other-giant-monster-save-tokyo-but-nobody-understands-and-they-persecute-both-giant-monsters movie.

also THE MAN FROM NOWHERE which was described to me as "a korean version of taken" and yeah that's about right but less entertaining.

also THE HEROIC TRIO starring maggie cheung michelle yeoh and that lady that's in a lot of old jackie chan movies - this movie was pretty awful. compounded by the fact that netflix instant doesn't provide language options, so we had to watch a shitty dub.

[Fathom Zero]

Battlefield Baseball was great. So was Machine Girl. Love me some Machine Girl.

[Kitsa]

I don't know, I've met people who are just ALL ABOUT Tokyo Gore Police and I was just completely underwhelmed by it. It was either a lumped-together pile of parts from dozens of other movies I've seen or other movies I've seen are stealing pieces of it, I don't know which and I'm too lazy to look up all of the production dates.

I used to really, really love Japanese horror movies but I've seen so many of them now it's like I have a table of characteristics in my head and it's nothing but checkmarks in all the columns. That sounds right in my head but not so much when I type it. Oh well, I know what I mean.

[Fathom Zero]

Have you seen Tetsuo: The Bullet Man yet?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Have you ever seen 2bdlk? That japanese movie was pretty good. Like 80 mins of tension followed by a facial.

[Pentegarn]

Let's see....

-Japanese
-Tension
-Facial

Sounds like every bukkake ever :lol

[Kitsa]

I've seen just about everything, I think. That might be why I'm kind of over it.

[Zhukov]

i watched LES VISITEURS last night, a film about jean reno as an 11th century nobleman that ends up in modern times and it's wacky and it's goofy and whatever i totally liked it.


Yeah, this movie and it's sequel are pretty good.

Last film I saw was Cowboys versus Aliens. It was completely retarded in some ways, but I still really liked it.

[Esuohlim]

I think you'd like Brick and Art School Confidential.

Brick, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

I do like the sexy jews

[Mad Melvin]

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

I've seen this once before and that was like ten years ago. I didn't even remember what happened in the end. I'm really glad I watched it again. That's how you make a fucking movie. Perfect in every way.

[Kitsa]

Have you seen Holy Matrimony, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Do you like sexy Hutterites in films directed by Leonard Nimoy?

[Aaarg]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is fucking excellent. That was a movie I turned on to fall asleep to because I'd never seen it - I did not sleep.


Last night I watched SGT. KABUKIMAN, NYPD - some shitty Troma film. It was... as awful as I'd expected. Not in a good way.

Also, THEY LIVE. Also not what I was expecting. Pretty silly.

Yeah, this movie and it's sequel are pretty good.


A SEQUEL?! Awesome! I imagine it doesn't have Reno in it?

I mentioned liking it the next day and my girlfriend was like "really?" What do you mean, really? It was funny!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I mentioned liking it the next day and my girlfriend was like "really?" What do you mean, really? It was funny!

He plays the same role from what I remember. In hindsight probably not as good as the first, since it's mostly the same jokes used all over again.

[Fathom Zero]

I wanna dress like Tom Waits in Mystery Men.

[Aaarg]

dude i'm all right with the same jokes over and over again. OOO-KAAAAY!

i don't remember what waits looked like in mystery men, or even if i've seen mystery men.

[k0k0]

Here's a refresher on mystery men: Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play.

Here's a refresher on shrek: Hey now, you're a rock star, get your show on, get paid.

Those are the only things I remember of those movies, so I don't much like either. Except that mystery men had a few funny parts.

[Aaarg]

oh shit and there was a tom waits song in shrek. or maybe shrek 2.

[Fathom Zero]

Mystery Men is great, dawg.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Love mystery men. watched it again a little while ago and my new favorite part is where they don't let dane cook be part of the team.

Watched rango today, its all kinds of enjoyable.

[Kitsa]

the fuck is with everyone jerking off to tom waits

[k0k0]

I watched Falling Down again today for the 10th time. I don't know why I enjoy it that much, but Michael Douglas is just bad ass in it. And fucked in the head.

[Pentegarn]

I would venture to guess you like it because it was a good movie

[Krythor]

I watched Rango the other day too. I wish it would become a full series, it has kind of a 90's cartoon feel and sense of humour to it.

[Aaarg]

EASY MONEY - rodney dangerfield movie. 'nuff said.

DOLLS - charles band movie. 'nuff said.

the fuck is with everyone jerking off to tom waits

he's basically my favorite musician ever. well up until the 90s or so.

[k0k0]

I would venture to guess you like it because it was a good movie

Yeah, I can only watch good movies so many times before I get tired of them. But I can watch falling down whenever I want and it's still entertaining to me.

[Aaarg]

the nazi store owner in falling down was in a movie i watched the other day

the conversation

[Pentegarn]

Yeah, I can only watch good movies so many times before I get tired of them. But I can watch falling down whenever I want and it's still entertaining to me.

That's my opinion about Shawshank Redemption and To Kill a Mokingbird

[MiKE8_3]

I've developed an affection for American Movie over the last few months. It's still great. I recently watched Troll 2 for the first time; the jury's still out on that.

[Krythor]

I love American Movie. It's really inspiring to see people with hardly any talent and borrowed uncle money going out and making something that they believe in, even if it takes years and years to complete and turns out to be complete garbage. When you watch those sorts of cheap horror movies it's easy to forget that at least the people involved went out and made something in their spare time rather than sitting behind a computer slagging off everyone elses thing, like all you slobs.

[Kitsa]

I watched my new special edition of Rock and Roll High School with deleted scenes. Good lord I love that movie so much. One of these days I need to review it.

It's funnier knowing how high/drunk/fucked-up everyone was while making it.

[k0k0]

That's my opinion about Shawshank Redemption and To Kill a Mokingbird

Yeah, I'm sure I've seen shawshank more times than I've seen falling down. It's excellent.

[WhiteRat]

I watched Falling Down again today for the 10th time. I don't know why I enjoy it that much, but Michael Douglas is just bad ass in it. And fucked in the head.

Falling Down is one of my favorite movies and I am normally anti-remake but this is one movie that I think Hollywood should remake given the current economic climate. People would eat that shit up, especially Not-Economically Viable Man (best scene in the whole movie):

UX4b_rhT0nU

[Pentegarn]

Yeah, I'm sure I've seen shawshank more times than I've seen falling down. It's excellent.

It seems like everyone feels that way about Shawshank

FULL DISCLOSURE: never seen it

[Tadao]

Watched Casino, that movie was one long drawn out piece of crap that went nowhere. Fuck that movie.

[Fathom Zero]

>:

[k0k0]

I watched "Everything Must Go" today. It wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't the movie it could have been. And there wasn't a big payoff at the end. But I like Will Farrell in it and the little black kid. Overall, 2 and a half floppy dicks out of 5.

[darkvare]

the new fright night, actually pretty good so happy to see murderous asshole vampires back in the big screen

[Dimnos]

Big woot woot for real vamps.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched Casino, that movie was one long drawn out piece of crap that went nowhere. Fuck that movie.

We Were Soldiers. Ia Drang told the way it happened, according to LtC Hal Moore, who helped out on the film. The extras DVD has some pretty cool insights from him.

[Zomboid]

Hanna. It was good.

[Pram Maven]

Final Destination 2. I've been working through the series and liked the first one the most. The musical score is probably the best aspect of the series.

[dextire]

Finally got around to watching Insidious. Very impressed! :halloween2

[Aaarg]

cooley high

[Esuohlim]

I watched The Life Aquatic for the first time since it came out, and I don't know. I still find it hard to get into.

I do love the joke, though, where Bill Murray asks Owen Wilson if he can hear the whales, and then a tanker horn goes off and Owen Wilson, all sophisticated with a pipe, goes "Beautiful. I wonder what they're saying".

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Love me some Life Aquatic. My favorite part is where they are escaping the pirate lair with gunfire and regular fire going off and Bill Murray is like "They're in there after all."

[Fathom Zero]

AWWWWW WE FORGOT CODY. WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK.

[Zhukov]

I got it on DVD when it first came out, and while my girlfriend at the time and I watched it we had a massive argument and broke up. I don't know where the DVD is now, and I never got to watch it properly.

Oh yeah, also it's probably got bad memories attached or something.

[Aaarg]

i love willem dafoe in that.

[Shyandquietguy]

I have never seen the Life Aquatic. >: I probably should, I'm finally starting to see how awesome Bill Murray is.

Just saw Tangled. Okay movie. The first Disney movie where a main protagonist FUCKING DIES on screen. NOT! Disney? More like the crap Fag Shit S.S. Giant Asshole.

Poot! Poot! 50 years of Sleaze Goat Willie! All for fucking nothing!

[MLE]

God ugh Life Aquatic is fucking awful. Like, terrible awful. Like that time Chojin, OJB, and myself thought it would be a good idea to mix every alcohol in the house and take a shot of it. OJB ended up licking the cat to get rid of the taste.

Life Aquatic is about that bad.

[Fathom Zero]

Nope. Love it. Love Bottle Rocket, too.

[Esuohlim]

Bottle Rocket starts out really slow, but anything from the motel scene onward is good. I really like Royal Tenenbaums, and Rushmore is great too but that one has a few really cringe-inducing scenes. :(

I think the Darjeeling Limited is my favorite, though, but that might not be a popular opinion.

I've never looked up a picture of Wes Anderson before but he's exactly as cunty-looking as I always imagined

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/091102/wes-anderson_l.jpg

[Kitsa]

He didn't have that haircut in the last commercial I saw him in.

I watched The Witches of Eastwick. I last read the novel years ago, and I found it for like 50 cents at Gabriel's so I grabbed it again to refresh my memory. I was sort of meh on it, then when I rented the movie I was even more meh on that. I also realized that certain scenes looked familiar, so I must have watched the movie when I was a kid or something.

[Fathom Zero]

The best part of that movie was in Hocus Pocus.

[Fathom Zero]

I've never looked up a picture of Wes Anderson before but he's exactly as cunty-looking as I always imagined

I had to write a paper on him about a year ago. I'm still adding to it to try and get it in a journal. But in the course of researching for it, I found that he's just a pretty cool dude. :\

And the parody of himself he did in the American express commercial was great.
