My favorite part of The Hobbit was when Bilbo went balls deep on Bridget the Midget

I thought it was a good movie. It is not the subject matter I normally give a fuck about, cuz who gives a shit about drunks/druggies and the problems they bring on themselves, but it was an interesting study of two people stuck in shit, one seeking to end it, and one seeking to have/provide company while the other ends it. My friends who love that movie the most are the heavy drunks though....
Drunks love movies where drunks get to act out and no one stops them.

right, but that's my whole point-- it's not a study but a fantasy. it's not realism or neorealism or psychologically "true" in any other way than accurately reflecting a male fantasy. which is the same as (for example) death race 2000, which i like a lot, but death race 2000 doesn't pretend to be anything else.


i'm sure they also love movies where drunks never suffer from whiskey dick! ha ha ha!

whiskey dick!!!! too funny.

I watched 'The spectacular now' last night. What a great movie.

Has anyone found anything good at the Internet Archive Database?

Watched Foxfire on NYE, really enjoyed it. Watched first half of Tales of Earthsea last night, pleasant if slightly detached and dull.

Silver Lining Playbook
Titanic
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

the latest of the paranormal activities.


Anyways...I had more fun eating my skittles.

Moonrise Kingdom.

if you love yourselves a good silent movie definitely watch this

Seconds directed by John Frankenheimer.

A very strange film and I think heavily influenced by sandoz in a good way - before tripping became a cliche

STOMP THOSE GRAPES!

Funny. There was bit on TCM last night about this rare video store. Anyway, one day a guy walks in looking for a copy of Seconds. Shows his ID to the clerk. It's Frankenheimer himself! Apparently he didn't have a copy and had trouble finding one.

Ah, Oscar season. It's raining DVD screeners.

Unfortunately, the only two I've seen:

1- Out of the Furnace. Mostly sucked. Can't watch Christian Bale anymore. He's always ACTING, y'know? Always giving such a PERFORMANCE. Casey Affleck is so much more interesting by doing so much less.

2- Lone Survivor- It begins with "Based on a True Story" and ends with footage of the real soldiers who battled it out with the Taliban in Afghanistan (and lost). What's inbetween is horrendous bullshit. "Hollywood" in the worst sense of the term. Deeply insulting to the real men and their loved ones. No has ever died in battle in slow-mo backed by a dramatic symphony. Acting was mostly good, but the actors were betrayed by a shallow, opportunistic director/liar out to make some propaganda.

Today and tomorrow: BLUE JASMINE and WOLF OF WALL STREET. C'mon Woody and Marty. Don't let me down.

And yes, I'll get around to Blacanieve. Swear.
