11/16/2008 1:09:44 AM

11/16/2008 2:02:49 AM

11/19/2008 8:06:01 PM

i would add Son Of Ranbow to that list, especially if you enjoy Be Kind, Rewind

11/19/2008 8:13:25 PM

John Adams if you're into that kinda stuff

11/19/2008 10:32:00 PM

11/21/2008 7:13:57 PM

Has anyone seen the movie Brick? saw a preview, looked kind of compelling....
should i queue it up?

11/24/2008 9:14:14 PM

11/24/2008 9:21:38 PM

11/24/2008 9:24:06 PM

11/25/2008 10:24:22 PM

[Edited on November 25, 2008 at 10:56 PM. Reason : ps your stars are pretty good! except i havent seen kiss kiss bang bang]

11/25/2008 10:56:10 PM

haaay yea i was living without internet for like 3 years... really wasn't a neccessity since i was out of school. i just got a new laptop and have started doing jewelry parties so i figured why not... can write it off on my taxes and get work stuff done!

you should really check out kiss kiss bang bang. it's has robert downey jr and val kilmer in it. probably one of the most overlooked movies the year it came out.

11/25/2008 11:00:23 PM

^sweet. adding now

and living without internet is something i should try dammit!

11/25/2008 11:05:37 PM

yea i was worried once i got it back it would be like giving a recovering cokehead a lil bump, but none of my good friends are ever on aim and judging from it it looks like tww has went downhill. i go on myspace and facebook every once in a while, but other that i just use it for downloading music i've missed and doing grown up things like paying bills.

11/25/2008 11:15:56 PM

yeah i hear you.

i got rid of cable because i never watched tv.
been a blessing relly.

id imagine id have internet withdrawls though

11/25/2008 11:20:44 PM

the wife and i have done three tv series so far and each was awesome
1. will and grace - i didnt wanna watch it but by the second season i was hooked
2. sex and the city
3. 24

i love doing tv series because we watch 2-3 episodes each night before bed

11/26/2008 8:11:03 AM

i made omelettes, biscuits, bacon, hashbrowns (cheesy of course), and mimosas this morning and we watched wall e

love it

11/29/2008 12:45:55 PM

wow i want all of that, and i am way too lazy to make it

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

11/29/2008 12:47:29 PM

well, we got Brick. i liked it a lot... it had an "Outsiders" feel. definitely film noir.

12/10/2008 9:30:25 PM

12/30/2008 1:33:35 PM

i happened to watch it on christmas eve with my brother at like 4am.

it's funny how much adult humor is in it.

1/3/2009 2:33:31 PM

HOW IN THE FUCK DOES NETFLIX NOT HAVE CHOPPING MALL?

1/3/2009 2:42:06 PM

Here are the titles I've watched from netflix recently:

Cool Hand Luke
Alien
Annie Hall
Any of the 24 seasons
Munich
Outfoxed: Murdoch's War on Journalism

1/3/2009 9:33:38 PM

we have been on a doc. kick lately, the last one we got was The Corporation. was good.
also, Mysterious Skin was pretty neat. i love joseph gordon-levitt.

PLUS. DID YOU KNOW? you can stream movies online for free for most plans. i thought you had to pay for them, but i just found out you do not. so, if you have/get an s-video cable, you can stream to the tv! i'm sure you knew that, but i was excited to find out

1/4/2009 8:46:20 PM

just got done with dogma and i loved it.

on top of the queue right now is "Little Shop of Horrors"

1/18/2009 10:01:03 PM

1/18/2009 10:18:08 PM

yup. i like how there wasn't any music in the whole movie. I didn't realize it until the second time through. great plot.

1/18/2009 10:24:37 PM

^ i never noticed that.

I was just thinking the other day that movies have way too much music in them.

1/18/2009 11:07:37 PM

Bigger, Stronger, Faster.
found this randomly on Watch Instantly. Pretty fascinating documentary on anabolic steroids, everything from the growth of its popularity to the actual health effects.

1/19/2009 1:01:51 PM

I saw someone mention Throne of Blood earlier. I've been using netflix to watch a lot of Kurosawa films and I'd recommend them in this order for someone wanting to get into them:

Seven Samurai: Its a classic that is the source of so much of what came after it in movies

Yojimbo / Sanjuro: Very watchable Kurosawa

Rashomon: Another important Kurosawa film that's easier to watch once you've gotten a feel for his style and Toshiro Mifune's acting

Throne of Blood: Mentioned earlier, my favorite. Macbeth in the style of Noh theater

The Hidden Fortress: Provided a lot of the inspiration for starwars expecially the peasants on which R2D2 and C3PO were based.

Red Beard: Kurosawa's last movie with Toshiro Mifune and one of the best

Ran: Kurosawa's not at his best after losing Mifune and most of his other collaborators but makes one last great movie.

Stray Dog: I'm not as much as a fan of Kurosawa's films set in post-war Japan but I really liked this one.

The Lower Depths: Interesting message on religion and our need for illusions.


Also, all the Kurosawa DVDs that I've gotten from netflix have been criterion editions, so they come with really outstanding commentary tracks by authors of books about Kurosawa films.

1/19/2009 10:26:18 PM

I just watched this. Good movie but after the first scene I was like goddamn you Family Guy!

i would start off with yojimbo and sanjuro first. shorter and a bit more action-y. seven samurai is of course fucking great but for those with short attention spans it's torture.

1/23/2009 12:12:52 AM

^ I agree. After watching yojimbo, it's a lot easier to appreciate other Kurosawa movies. Its a good way to get to know Mifune also.

1/23/2009 12:43:54 AM

Prestige

1408

and in case you haven't seen it for some unbelievable reason: SEVEN

1/23/2009 12:47:34 AM

i'd like some good horror movie recommendations. i haven't seen too many of them (including the classics) so any titles are welcomed. i have a few on the queue currently, but i don't feel like logging in to look. i know i have:

The Shining (seen it once)
The Exorcist

i'm not really into zombie stuff, but did enjoy 28 days later and dawn of the dead.
thanks.
