Some cool dirt ...

What the Bleep is basically a recruiting film for the Ramtha cult.

And has nothing to do with Quantum Mechanics.

At least one of the speakers has been declared as sort of a heretic by the Ramtha organization, and a couple of the real scientists they interviewed were sold a bill of goods as far as how their interviews would be used, what type of film was being made, etc.

Dude at work is a cult exit counsellor and filled me in on all kinds of goodies.

Snakes on a Plane--B-movie extraordinaire...forget everything you think you know about snakes and planes, and enjoy it. Maybe have a few cocktails beforehand.

Scoop--your typical Woody Allen fare. The only thing I didn't like about it was being reminded of a rumor that Scarlett Johanssen and Mr. Allen were romantically involved...eww.

Luther - Joseph Fiennes oozes angst, but it's a pretty decent overview of the 95 theses, first vernacular Bible, and a lot of charges of heresey. Neat film.

Portrait of Hell - Japanese, 1969. Interesting interplay of light and shadow, both in the human psyche and in the director's vision of how the story should be told. Freaky.

Just rented Fight Club for the first time. The title had always put me off. I'm not into gratuitous violence at all. And I always thought it was supposed to be some sort of brutal and creepy movie.

But I kept hearing good reviews for it, so my wife and I finally watched it over the weekend.

Well, if you've seen it, you already know that it's a great movie. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it this weekend.

We saw it on Saturday night, and I'm still thinking about it on Monday afternoon.

I loved Fight Club. Thought it was well-constructed and followed the book fairly well. The book is much creepier. After that, read everything else Chuck Pahalnuik (or however you spell it) has ever written. Brilliant. Awesomely brilliant.

My latest was a Double Feature of Hercules and the Amazon Women and Hercules and the Lost Kingdom.

I got hoodwinked. From the Netflix description it was supposed to be the Xena spinoff episodes, instead Lucy Lawless had a small part in the first one, and Renee O'Connor was the female lead in the second.

I've been watching some Simpsons DVDs my brother got me, and some he got himself. Did you know that Milhouse's debut was a Butterfinger commercial?

Whoever said Bubba Ho-tep was a good movie is a damned dirty liar.

That thing should have been 20 minutes long, tops. SO INCREDIBLY BORING.

+1 Think I'll watch Fight Club tonight. I wish I had Arlington Road on DVD, too.

I bought that Black Dahlia movie and didn't much care for it, really. It didn't live up to my expectations in any sense. Recently I've also watched The Four Feathers, Gattaca for the hundredth time, and did my monthly viewing of Swingers. The Matrix, Shakespeare in Love, Garden State and Goodwill Hunting are coming up for their monthly viewings.

I also bought the first season of Sleeper Cell and it totally blew me away. That's about all I can say about that.

not a dvd, but Die Hard on HBO. classic! so many good moments--the music, yippi-kay-ay mother fucker (can I say that here?); "HANS!", Alan Rickman falling away. The music!

I like that quote about Alexander seeing the breadth of his world he wept for he saw there were no more worlds to conquer.

Kind of sad most of the quotes I remember are from movies, really.

Just watched the classic Seven Samurai over the weekend. Black and white. Subtitles. Film was so decayed it was all flickery all the time. But it was pretty good, if a little long. My wife thought it was boring.
