Nifty, though sadly this has hit while my bank account is at its nadir, and $45 ain't something I can swing.

So did Doctor Who classic ever do one-off episodes, or are they all serials?
-
Won't be rushing out to see it, but that looks surprisingly a'ight.Shia LeBeouf repeatedly gets the shit beat out of him. This might be Natural's dream movie.

Edit: Never mind.

Watched season one (of the new version) and most of season two. So far, my favourite episodes are "Dalek" and "The Girl in the Fireplace."

"The effects of human growth hormone use on the structure of sexagenarian bodies?"
Do a certain extent, yes. It's on the "aging hardbody."

I'm about to watch ROCKY BALBOA at 10AM on a Tuesday because it's research for a paper I'm delivering at a conference.

I've got my hands on the first volume of Blassingame's weird fiction from Dancing Tuatara. I've only read the first story; which one is the strongest of the bunch?

1998 - 187 Points - 2 Votes (Highest Vote: #3 Death From Above)
DIRECTOR: Don McKellar
STARRING: Don McKellar, Sandra Oh, Roberta Maxwell
Placement On Original List: N/A
Well done, DFA. Would have thought putting it at #13 would have assured me top placement.

We used to (still do?) have PG15 in Canada. I assume it's similar. So Tarantino is right out.
Kinda lame, I know, but what about the UP montage?

Better option: the long take from near the end of CHILDREN OF MEN:
(Car scene is closer to the begging and also awesome. Actually, any segment of CHILDREN OF MEN).

Excellent. So me, Jingus, and who else?

NOTE FROM RIPPA - Be very careful if you do a Google image search on this movie. Yeah...
-
Totally forgot ONE FALSE MOVE. Good little flick.
-
I read he had a flank injury. I'm more interested in whether or not Kea is still ostensibly part of the roster, or if his appearance right after the split was just a one-time (well, two-time) thing.
-
BRAINSCANNNNNNNN!!!!! Good times that one. At least young 11 year old Jae thought so.
It's one of the highlighted horror films at the local rental palace, and when I looked it up I realized it was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, so I'm intrigued.
-
i've watched a ton of horror movies (I'm sure I'm not alone here), and sometimes despair that I've exhausted the genre. Anyway, I started gathering up a list, just based on IMDB horror films, of movies I've either never seen, have only seen parts of, or have seen so long ago that I've pretty much forgotten them. So far, I've got:
PSYCHO (1960)JAWS (1975)THE BIRDS (1975)BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)FREAKS (1932)THE CREMATOR (1969)EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960)CURE (1997)TOURIST TRAP (1979)BRAINSCAN (1994)SLEEP TIGHT (2011)IMAGES (1972)
-
Pretty great list. Can't believe I didn't contribute.

Am I the only one who thinks this show has been wretched and unwatchable since they killed Opie?
I thought the Shark Jumped when they went to Belfast. It was just so implausible... and kinda started the formula they have adopted of just introducing characters just to kill them off. I mean at this point, Jax Teller has killed more folks than AIDS.
Season Three also set the pattern of putting the club into an impossible corner and then having a total bullshit deus ex machina-type ending, which they at least replicated in season 4 (never bothered with season 5).
Henry Rollins is a hard guy to use well, and Season two pulled it off brilliantly. And the way his character got it was perfect. Easily the best season.

No Iron Monkey love? Two votes for Hearts of Darkness?
I'm done.
I voted IRON MONKEY. Lamentably, I haven't actually seen HEART OF DARKNESS.

Not really in order, no. I'd definitely put J&J last in that group, but the rest are all close. PRISONERS is probably the better overall product, though THE DOUBLE is probably a little more audacious (PRISONERS is astonishingly well put-together, but hits a few too many typical thriller beats). If you liked A SEPARATION, you'll like THE PAST.
Just wondering if these are ranked? Did you like The Double better than Prisoners?Looks like Prisoners was #1 at the box office on Friday, which isn't a surprise or anything, but I'm so happy for Denis Villeneuve. Word of mouth seems to be strong too. Need to get myself to a theatre to see that as soon as possible.I watched 13 films at the Atlantic Film Festival. Probably won't get around to writing down my thoughts, but here are some general groupings:Very Good/ExcellentThe DoublePrisonersBlackfishThe PastJeune & Jolie

I was speaking with a colleague today, and somehow while talking about our research interests we discovered that we're both DVDVR members.
It was weird.
who?
KS. Dunno if he still posts.

Man, I'd would have liked to have thought that Fallon Fox's loss would stymy all this talk of her "unfair advantage" from her "man genes," or whatever, but sadly it hasn't done a thing.
