Rewatching Spaceballs.  Shame the new cartoon is beyond awful.

[Sophie Scholl]

Indeed.  I sat through two episodes.  I was sorely tempted to change the channel many times.  Bleh.

[Darth Wagtaros]

That's the one with the talking dummy right?

Started to watch Krull, but became convinced that even medicated as I am, I'd be unable to handle it.

Turned on Little Shop of Horrors and will probably get about 26 minutes in.

Wish I hadn't already watched all the Mail Call episodes.

Revenge of the Nerds- Don't believe I've never seen this before. Really pretty good. But wow is the American system alien, I really regret not having the money to do my exchange there.

watched "Pigs & Battleships" by Shohei Imamura.

It's the movie that got him noticed as an up & comer and yet briefly stalled his career as it went way over budget etc. Great film though about a gang of really small time yakuza and prostitutes, who live off scraps and black marketeering at Yokosuka US base in Tokyo Bay. There are a few Battleships, and lots of pigs. not quite as audaciously photographed as the last two of his films I detailed here a few days ago, but beautifully shot nonetheless. more traditional, less hand held, and camera trickery.

Vampyr.  1932 German vampire flick.  Roughly restored in some parts, and with less than stellar captioning, it none the less was a pretty cool flick.  I liked the shadow work and imagery used in a lot of the scenes.

Spoilers ahead:



Watch "A Corner in Wheat" if you ever get the chance.  It's an early DW Griffith short which inspired the death by wheat scene in Vampyr.

[Scipio]

Wanted.
Totally and completely over the top, and totally and completely entertaining.

Loved it so much, I bought the collector's edition DVD set for $8.00.  Brand new.

Even my wife liked it.

IMHO, better than the comic book.

You make it sound like that movie was a documentary.

You saved your money, because you wouldn't last a month here.

You make it sound like that movie was a documentary. 

Nah, of course I know it was a silly film.
But I do know the Greek system really exists. And I have heard mutterings that younger people do tend to balkanise more.

You saved your money, because you wouldn't last a month here.

How?

How?

I just don't see you adjusting to America well.

13 days

It was very good I thought, but I am no expert on the period.

Exactly.  That fucker wouldn't be able to run to the Queen when the Alpha Betas started to play hardball.

[CountDeMoney]

Wall Street is on.

Funny, but I always wind up rooting for the SEC guys at the end.

[garbon]

Oh, I saw Bruno on Friday. It was alright, some funny bits, some lame bits.  Not really as good though as just watching all his Bruno sketches on youtube.  At least, as a positive, I didn't hate it like I hated Borat.
