I wanna dress like Tom Waits in Mystery Men.

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.

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.

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

Mystery Men is great, dawg.

i think this is my favorite tom waits acting roles, haha

As the devil is best.

that ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk

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.

the fuck is with everyone jerking off to tom waits

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.

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

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.

EASY MONEY - rodney dangerfield movie. 'nuff said.

DOLLS - charles band movie. 'nuff said.

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

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.

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

the conversation

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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):

It seems like everyone feels that way about Shawshank

FULL DISCLOSURE: never seen it

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

>:

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.

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

Big woot woot for real vamps.

Cept for catwomans blowjob scene

bride of re-animator
better than the first even if only for the decapitated head with bat wings stitched to the sides

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.

Hanna. It was good.

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.

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

cooley high

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".

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."

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

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.

i love willem dafoe in that.

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!

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.

Nope. Love it. Love Bottle Rocket, too.

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

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.

The best part of that movie was in Hocus Pocus.

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.

I didn't like darjeeling limited that much. he imagery is great though. Also on the dvd there is a prologue with natalie portman's ass in it. :wank

Can't remember what the newest wes anderson movie is called but the one with the fox. That was really good too.

Dammit shy guy. I started watching tangled but didn't finish it yet.

I'm watching Death Wish II. This film is nuts.

Death Wish 3 gets better and more outrageous

A definitive moment in cinema.

Full Metal Jacket, just because of this.

Dinner For Schmucks

Oh god. What a waste of time. I suffered through it and the only thing I liked was the mouse tower scene at the end. Paul Rudd and Zach Galiganisafiioafs are really starting to annoy me.


Horrible Bosses

Meh. Some funny lines here and there, but I really hated the main characters. Colin Farrell was pretty awesome though, and pretty much the best thing about the movie.

I hated Dinner for Schmucks.

What did I just say

NO DAD

Tell your father that he needs to take out the gaabage.

I actually laughed pretty hard when that one girl was trying to sexy dance for Steve Carell. The rest of it I could have done without though. :\

jeez, apparently I should have added an "also".

Some straight up Bad Company 2 shit for the first minute.

I want to see killer elite, but don't feel like paying 12 dollars to see a movie in the theater. It looks really good though. I like the part in the trailer where a guy is tied to a chair and beats up on someone with the chair that is tied to him. Then he jumps out of a window while tied to the chair. Just following that scene is "Based on a true story", which makes me laugh so much every time I see it.

Yeah, that had me cracking up too

Disney's Halloween Treat. I watch this one every year. :halloween2

I watched Death Wish 3, it was great.

I also watched The Muppet Movie. So good until Mel Brooks turns up and grinds everything to a halt.

the house on skull mountain
it had a lot going for it in the beginning with the drums and the title/credits but then it just kept getting more boring as it continued. shame.

I watched the documentary Kubrick's Odyssey - Secrets Hidden in the Films of Stanley Kubrick by Jay Weidner. It's basically Jay Weidner arguing that Kubrick faked the moon landings and that The Shining was his way of confessing it subliminally. It sounds like bollocks, but when you actually see it it's quite convincing. I've always hated conspiracy theories but I think I believe this one. :/

Which moon landings? The ones that the recent satellites took pictures of with things like the flags, footprints, and landing sites?

It's always been a massive rub to me when people draw their own conclusions into something by reading too far into things.

Love Kubrick, though - he's probably the reason why I do photography.

Well his argument is that they did go to the moon, but that the televised versions were fakes. Not that the moon landings just didn't happen.

Anyway, like I said, I already have deep shame and self loathing about my belief and am not going to push it on anyone. Watch it if you can, it's easily available torrented. Even if you don't believe it, The Shining analysis is excellent.

I should point out as well that the part where he tries to analyse the moon landing photos is easily the worst part. And there are another two follow up films about the rest of Kubrick's work scheduled for 2012 and 2013.

I'M NOT TRYING TO PROSECUTE YOU OR MAKE YOU FEEL BAD FOR LIKING SOMETHING. :tear

And that person sounds like has something of an obsession. I'll check it out - I haven't seen a decent documentary in ages.

Be warned: the quality is of a good youtube video, and he has a terrible way with words. E.g, at one point he says "The Shining is Kubrick's masterpiece. However, I use the word masterpiece lightly, as I do not actually like the film." There are a few more ridiculous lines like that in it. But it's still interesting.

Oh God, I've opened a pandora's box of humiliation that's too late to close. :lol

Don't worry. If it's bad, I'll be back in a decent enough time to give you the sound beating you justly deserve.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but still enjoyed the parts I saw. I've seen it before and of course had to see my favourite scene.

I started watching Hamlet 2. Almost shut if off after 10 minutes....then ended up shutting it off after 20 minutes.

Demon Wind! This movie is awesome!
It's filled with so many WTF moments that you would absolutely hate this film if you didn't just enjoy the 80's goodness. :halloween2

The Infidel. It was good, but it wasn't as riotously funny as I thought it would be.

It's about a British Muslim who, although he's personally "relaxed" in his own religious observations, still hits all of the big requirements and is quite anti-Semitic. While he's cleaning out his recently deceased mom's house, he finds some paperwork and discovers he's adopted. A visit to the agency reveals that he's in fact....wait for it....Jewish! Now he's got to reconcile that with various anti-Semitic pressures he's experiencing. For example, his son wants to marry the daughter of a controversial cleric and he's expected to put on an extra-pious front until the blessing's obtained.

There were a lot of funny parts and I think the overall message has value in the whole let's-hug-it-out sense, but I was confused sometimes. As soon as the guy figures out he's Jewish by birth, he seems to be completely engulfed by the burning desire to out himself one way or another. There was no "hm, that's interesting, but I'm this now and I'm going to get on with my life". He did the very un-Jewish thing of loudly proclaiming- literally yelling- how Jewish he was at every opportunity, and then randomly going out of his way to completely reverse and conceal it. There were a few other iffy plot points, but this was a big thing throughout.

dude, demon wind looks awesome. is it online somewhere?


a zed and two noughts
this movie was weird. not coherent enough to be good. some bits were funny, though. also, it got "the teddy bears' picnic" stuck in my head for a few days.

the verdict
paul newman in a 2-hour episode of "the practice," basically. i liked it. made me miss watching law & order.

wheels on meals
jackie chan, sammo hung, yuen biao. not one of their best, but entertaining enough.

network
now i know where "i'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore" originated. i expected more from this movie - i liked where it was going, at the beginning, and then it just spent the last 90 minutes being boring.

they call me MISTER tibbs
sidney poitier as virgil tibbs is somehow always entertaining. i don't even know why. sidney poitier makes silly, awful movies... but i like them.

the favor, the watch, and the really big fish
this was on the netflix queue because it has jeff goldblum in it. silly movie, otherwise. i don't really get what they were going for.

mid-august lunch
some old italian guy babysits a bunch of other old italian guys' mothers. totally silly, but kind of funny.

contract killer
people love jet li, but i just don't get it. he does some neat-o jumps and stuff, but he's no jackie chan.

Do they have that Jeff Goldblum mockumentary about Pittsburgh on Netflix? I can't check right now.

DVD only.

WELL SHIT. Looks like I'm going to pirate it, perhaps. PHYSICAL MEDIA IS DEAD, MAAAN

fuck that as a result of this upcoming netflix split, we're ditching netflix and keeping "qwikster"

though we'll probably refer to it as netflix still, because... qwikster.

qwikster sounds like a chocolate milk delivery service

btw when I was a kid we actually had a milkman. He was a Jehovah's Witness and left Watchtowers in the milk box :themoreyouknow

The only Quickster I care about.

Although the fact that they're adding game rentals is rather cool. Perhaps they'll take a bit of the marketshare from the shit Gamefly.

I had a milk man too! He didn't leave us shit like that. I think it was because my dad was filthy rich at the time and we lived in a really high class neighborhood that we had a milk dude.

I still use the milkbox. The neighborhood kids are always trying to bum art supplies off me, so I keep it stocked with chalk and stuff like that. They know when they're finished it has to go back in the box, and they can draw on my driveway if they want. It keeps them from being little shits in other ways.

:derailedthread

When they come to the door and ask if i want to be a Jehova's Witness i tell them 'sorry, I didn't see the accident'

pickle.

I like to tell them Im house sitting for some friends at the moment but that I would love to hear what they have to say at a later time. I then give the name and address of one of my friends and ask them to come by later.

i watched real steel is actually very good i'm suprised in a very good way

Sorry, not that I know of. I own it on an old VHS as there is no US DVD available right now.
But I would definitely recommend tracking it down by any means necessary. :halloween2

Demon Wind and Dead Dudes in the House are my two favorite "hidden gems" that I've found on my own.

demon wind is on demon oid, i just checked

unless it's a different demon wind

Yep, that's the one!

watching xmen first class. Having a gruling hard on.

The last movie i saw was Passione, a documentary on the music of Naples, Italy. Unsurprisingly, the music of Naples is pretty negligible.

Finished watching first xmen first class
BONER

Howling 3: The Marsupials: Awesomely horrible.

dragons forever
chan/hung/biao, awesome. though i think the best scene is in the beginning when jackie chan (a defense attorney!) wins a case and his client goes to shake his hand and jackie punches him in the gut and then the face. the judge, on his way out of the courtroom, looks at jackie and shakes his head. awesome.

tiger cage
all right if you watch a movie because it has jackie chan in it and nothing else, you're usually going to be entertained. if you watch a movie because it has donnie yen in it and nothing else, fuck this shitty fucking movie.

the legend of zu
netflix has this mis-labeled as zu warriors from the magic mountain. this is the shitty re-make of zu warriors from the magic mountain. we got 20 minutes in before turning it off. fuck you, netflix.

man, that's my go-to shitty dvd that i make people watch with me. i've seen it way too many times.

i'm naming my second child jerboa jerboa (the first child is aram fingal (RIP raul julia)).
