I totally agree on Underworld, bad but still so much fun. Although, it's better than Van Helsing...

You're gonna LOVE it. The opening act of the opening disc of the opening season is Mahna Mahna! It sets the tone perfectly.

Hee! Also, apparently Joel Grey was somewhat famous even before he was on Buffy and Alias...

Romper Stomper

Netflix is helping me chew my way through my "to see" list. Interesting movie, but I would have kicked the chick out flat on her ass ASAP.

I think Hostel should arrive in the mail today. I forget if someone else told me to see that, or if it was Netflix's Recommender's fault.

I dropped "Sky High" in my Peerflix queue when I saw that Bruce Campbell and two of the Kids in the Hall were in it. It was OK.

About the Muppets - Why was Scooter's hiring in episode 3 or 4, when he had already been hired as of episode one? There wasn't any indication that it was a flashback.

Answer:

The first three episodes were not in wide release. The first episode to be aired widely was the Rita Moreno episode. Scooter was not in that one, in a conscious effort to minimize the large number of characters being introduced at once. The next episode "introduces" Scooter to the audience, even though we who have watched the disc for the previous two hours already know his schtick.

You're wondering what kind of person knows this, I'm sure. The alternate lanuguage subtitle track is your friend.

Hostel turned out to be about the lamest possible horror/shocker movie that I have seen, and I have seen some serious stinkers over the years.

Other recent views:

Van Helsing (again)
The Night Stalker
The Night Strangler (as prep for watching the whole series)
C.S. Lewis - Beyond Narnia
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

I'm going to go back and watch it with trivia on, and I figured they'd probably explain that, but I was impatient. Thanks!

Just watched "Crash" yesterday and when I saw this DVD, I think that the feeling was awed because it was something real and very deep... It's a melodramatic movie... I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it really showed how we racially divided as a society... Before I watched the movie I actually have read a review about it and thought it was an educational documentary...

The Night Stalker TV Series. I've only made it through episodes 1&2 so far. Like much 70s television, it's far cheesier today than I thought it was when I was 12.

The police expend an awful lot of ammo trying to shoot down invincible monsters.
