You can buy the dvd for like 50 cents almost everywhere. No one wants it. It's seriously good though. |
I watched Tom Green's Cancer Special on YouTube last week. Hadn't seen that in forever...it's a shame that part 3 is missing.

I loved the Tom Green show. I even had the VHS of his best-of from the Canadian show and shit like that. But I couldn't watch the cancer special. I dig what he did. But as much as I love gore in cheesy movies, I can't handle actual medical shit. |
If you like his Canadian show, and have a few extra clams to kick around this holiday season, check out the "Tom Green - Inside and Outside the Box" DVD set. It'll keep you entertained for years to come.
|
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BOX is probably the best dvd set I own. 10 hours long, got it off of amazon for $6 (!) a while back. Totally worth it, probably the best comedy stuff ever released.

Choke
7.9/10 Not as good as Fight Club, but a good watch nonetheless... Question: why does it seem like every pseudo-fucked up movie released this decade has had Radiohead in the soundtrack? Cases in point: "Everything In Its Right Place" in Vanilla Sky, Thom Yorke's "Black Swan" in A Scanner Darkly, "Reckoner" in Choke... |
Because most movies suck and Radiohead suck, so they go hand in hand. Because mainstream cinema is devoid of any original ideas, and Radiohead is respected by people who have not heard any of they stuff they rip off. Because Tom Cruise and Thom Yorke have the same first name.
I saw this awful movie called THE BRAVE ONE. Starring Jodie Foster and a bit similiar to Taxi Driver, actually (person in NYC wants to make a difference in their city and decides to become a vigilante). Anyway, this guy steals a girl's ipod, looks through the list, and goes "Radiohead? Bitch, I want you to give me some Radio head." An awful line that is repeated in a dream sequence later. |
I've heard lots of stuff that Radiohead rip off. But I still respect them. Am I stupid?

The movie that ushered in the current financial fiasco! There's supposed to be a sequel (dir by Stone) coming out some time |

Well, I've heard a lot of stuff Radiohead have been influenced by, and it doesn't make me like them any less. Shrug. I guess I appreciate the fact that a mainstream (from time to time) band would be creative (admittedly, that's debatable) enough to try and include some more obscure influences in their music. And you have to admit that it takes balls to follow up a record many critics called a reinvention of guitar rock with an almost wholy electronic album. Maybe I'm just not on some relentless quest to have every band I listen to sound like something 100% original... But yeah, that line does suck. |
![]() Made in 1948, we haven't learnt one thing from it!!!! Just goes to show something refuse to change |

I've always considered "American Psycho" as a companion piece to "Wall Street". |

No. Note I'm talking about people out there (mainly critics) who seem to only praise Radiohead for their "originality". Genuinely liking their music is a lot different. Also.. STALKER rules! MIRROR is my fav though. |
![]() Two Arabian Knights. Probably one of the top five silent films ever. Which is sad, they almost never play it on TCM, brilliant movie. |

![]() Not bad for a first attempt at filmmaking, Jennifer. I'm not a very big fan of Bill Pullman (especially in Lost Highway) He's too ordinary to be in a David Lynch film, but he was ok in this one. I counted 19 actors in total. |
all this talk about Freddy got Fingered reminded me of another fred classic
Drop Dead Fred with Phobe Cates. I'll have to go find it for a watch |
DROP DEAD FRED rules, and Phoebe Cates is hottttttt.

It was a crap film. What on Earth was Rik Mayall thinking by portraying his character as "Rick" from "The Young Ones"? No wonder his attempt to break into Hollywood collapsed at the first hurdle. |

I purchased the director's cut of "Watchmen" on Blu-ray today. I think from now on I'm going to buy movies on Blu-ray instead of on DVD.
|
Blu-Rays do sound quite appealing, but I don't think I'll be making the switch any time soon. Until I get a snazzy HD TV, DVDs are perfectly fine with me. Hell, I still watch VHS tapes.
|
I have no desire to buy blu-rays. Why spend £20-£30 on a blu-ray when I could buy a DVD used for £4 or less ya know?

Freddy Got Fingered doesn't exist on Criterion, I think that cover art is just a fan-made. That movie is really awesome and so underrated... Maybe it's just ahead of its time, give it another decade or two and it will be hailed as a masterpiece. Quote:
Watchmen is THE movie to watch on blu-ray. Visually speaking, it's one of the most impressive movies I've seen. I seriously think it's one of the best movies of the year. Today, I've seen: ![]() 7/10. Oscars is shit and Taxi Driver is a better movie, that's all I've got to say... Well, actually it was pretty good. ![]() 8/10 but 10/10 on gayness scale. A movie for those who enjoyed Happiness. |
Mysterious Skin rules. Araki is one of my favorite directors of all time, definitely underappreciated. TOTALLY FUCKED UP, NOWHERE, DOOM GENERATION, LIVING END, and SPLENDOR are great movies as well.
Fugazifan, what'd you think of OH WOE IS ME? That's one of my top Godards. And no Freddy Got Fingered wasn't Criterionized, wouldn't that be a great cover for it though? |

godard is too smart for his own good. and i didnt like freddy got fingered at all. maybe someday i will get it |

It's just a hilariously surreal, absurdist comedy. |
