MattZ Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I was watching The Wire Season Three on HBO On Demand until they pulled it because season 4 started. Now I am in the middle of the season, cant watch it, and dont want to start on season 4 until I am done with season 3. That sucks moose balls. I suppose this post would be more aptly placed in the Was Watching thread, but I didnt see one. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Beltmann, don't think any less of me, but we went to see Crank.Listen, one afternoon I paid to see, in consecutive order, Booty Call, The Sixth Man and McHale's Navy. I have no regrets. Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Isn't Crank jhust supposed to be another Transporter-ish movie? Graham's cousin brought over the Transporter 2 a few months back and it was so so so so bad. But, watching it with two quick witted, cynical guys made it enjoyable. Those are definitely movies that need an MST3K type running commentary. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Say what you will about the disposable Transporter movies, but I would trade all of Crash for how Transporter 2 cleverly choreographs a water hose into an effective weapon. Speaking of bad movies and the MST3K treatment... one of my favorite filmgoing experiences ever was seeing Solo--you know, Mario Van Peebles as a killer android--at a budget theater with a couple of college pals, and turning the auditorium into our own MST3K show. (No one else was there, and rightly so.) Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I almost got dispwned by my family after recommending they go see Big Trouble in Little China at the Hyde Park Drive-in. "Worst fucking movie I've seen in my entire fucking life," said Dad. Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Isn't Crank jhust supposed to be another Transporter-ish movie? Graham's cousin brought over the Transporter 2 a few months back and it was so so so so bad. But, watching it with two quick witted, cynical guys made it enjoyable. Those are definitely movies that need an MST3K type running commentary. We thoroughly enjoyed the first Transporter, but when we rented Transporter 2 we got about 20 minutes in and shut it off because it was so utterly ridiculous. I know, I know, it's not reality, but for god's sake, a car jumping off a ramp, turning in midair to exactly the right angle so he can use a hook suspended from a crane to knock a bomb off the undercarriage of his car, then rotate the car back to wheels down, land, and drive away? Yeah, a bit too much for me. I read something interesting about Crank yesterday that made me understand why it was so ridiculous....it was written to mimic a video game: no down time, strange camera angles, weird maps and charts popping up now and then... Somehow that makes me somewhat more forgiving. But not enough to see it ever again. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 The Death of Mr. Lazarescu / Cristi Puia / Romania / 2005 Viewers accompany an ailing, aging widower as he travels between four Bucharest hospitals that refuse to seriously regard his claims of head and stomach pains, mostly because those complaints are drenched in the smell of alcohol. His full name is Dante Remus Lazarescu, and that moniker, pregnant with not one but three symbolic meanings, suggests a grim odyssey top-heavy with self-importance, but quite the reverse is true: While the movie does swing for the fences in its hellish, sometimes funny indictment of inefficient medical systems, its strength derives instead from its matter-of-fact smallness.

EL the Famous Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Man, I love Netflix. Loading up the queue w/ some music stuff i've wanted to check out: DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist: Freeze Witness the very last performance of the legendary "Brainfreeze" set with DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist in this Los Angeles show filmed live on Jan. 18, 2000. With its nonstop mix of 45s and raucous exercises in vinyl destruction, this program is the real deal. The DVD also features highlights from a number of supporting DJs, including Marvski, Dante, Nu-Mark and Z-Trip, along with behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage. LET'S ROCK AGAINBy following his friend and former Clash front man Joe Strummer around with a camera for 18 months before his death, filmmaker Dick Rude captured a softer side of a performer better known for his rough-cut edges. Highlights include all-access live footage from The Clash's heyday in the 1970s and '80s, plus Strummer's more recent performances with The Mescaleros, a punk-reggae band he founded in the 1990s. SCRATCHThis energetic, insightful film, which was a big hit at the 2001 Sundance Festival, traces the birth of "turntablism." Doug Pray documents the ongoing history of today's turntablist movement and features many of the DJs who gave birth to the hip-hop movement and continue to reinvent it. This exhilarating film features such charismatic figures as DJ Q-Bert, DJ Shadow and Mix Master Mike in full-blown exhibition of their powers. Link to post Share on other sites
