the 'chicken run' burger king ads are nauseous.
i really really want to see 'the filth and the fury', it's directed by 
the guy who did 'the great rock 'n' roll swindle'.

haven't gotten to the theater much lately.
home viewing:
NIMH entertainment standards keep 'last tango in paris', 'dr. 
strangelove', and 'eyes wide shut' running on 1 of 2 teevees frequently. 
the 4-hour leaud new-wave flic 'the mother and the whore' played the 
other night, but mostly in the background (it takes a lot of patience to 
really be attentive to that movie; it's just leaud tomcatting about the 
streets of paris in a pair of cool shades and a beautiful arrangement of 
scarves, tres bon, until he gets in trouble with, natcherwelly, 'the 
mother' and 'the whore'.)

i happily and proudly rented the smashingly good flic 'even hitler had a 
girlfriend' from liberty a couple nights back. i can't recommend this 
movie enough -- it's cult softcore trash and looks to have been budgeted 
by returned soda-cans and any viewer with a shred of aesthetic sense 
will wonder why the hell they're watching it for the first half hour. 
make it past minute 31, however, and i guarantee you will explosively 
effected with grinding depression, slackjawed revulsion, and plenty of 
wincing as you get sucked into the vacuous existence of marcus 
templeton.
enjoy!

"The Red Violin" - great plot, wonderful story, and captivating.

"Eyes Wide Shut" - typical Kubrick...  I liked it.  It kept me interested.

"Stigmata" - Eh...decent, but I'm glad I rented it instead of paying $8.

"Fantasia 2000" - beautiful, magical, precious, but TOO SHORT

the script from Gonzo and the Muppets, I know it.

maybe you were facing the wrong direction when you watched.
turn your eyes *toward* the screen next time.

re#4  The Rocky and Bullwinkle movie sucked ass and a half.
 I should have went to see "the Patriot"..the "Chicken Run" movie was
 super duper cool.

Pecker - Fun John Waters movie, but kinda tame compared to his earlier films.
Still, I liked Christina Ricci in it.

A Better Tomorrow - John Woo movie with Chow Yun Fat. Good action flick. The
dub was bad at times. Good action scenes, but no scenes where 2 people held
guns to each other's heads. What's up with that?

End of Days - SUCKED! This movie should've ended several times, but Ah-nold
and Gabriel Byrne kept dragging people back into the film when they try to
escape by dying.

Fight Club - GREAT movie!

Dogma - Pretty good for a Kevin Smith film. It dragged at points though.

saw "me, myself and irene" last nite.  some laugh out loud funny stuff.  lot's
of gross sight gags (mostly they work) but i found the pacing to be way
un-even.  too many spots where it dragged.  also in some shots you can see
the overhead mics and for some un-explained reason a character starts out the
film at one rank and finishes it at another.

"Stir of Echoes" - wonderfully creepy, but not what I expected.

re the rank in the Carey movie: a change not explained by eighteen years?
I guess overlooked something.  Didn't see the mics, either.

        I saw The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.  Best of all, it
is the original Rocky--June Foray.  Best of all Renee Russo is finally
totaly hot as Natashia.  It came off better than what I expected.  It
is good Rocky and Bullwinkle.  Seeing Jonathan Winters and Carl Reiner
doing cameos was great, too.  Plenty of puns--hey that was part of the
show.  Though I think I saw the movie with a bunch of androids, as I
was about the only one laughing or reacting to the movie.
        Another good thing--Godzilla 2000 stomps into theatures in a
few weeks.  A good old ToHo type Godzilla.  Don't know if Raymond Burr
will be CGIed, though.

I liked Chicken Run. It had a lot of good injokes for movie buffs and SF fans.
Make sure to stay for the end credits.

 I think Boys Don't Cry is the best movie I have seen in a very very long
time.

"Fifth Element" starring Bruce Willis is crap

I actually offended someone with "FreewayII confessions of a trackbaby"
which like it's fairy-tale derived counterpart, is a modern, "filthy" if you
will twist, of Hansel and Gretel.  No kidding.  Just to give you an idea of
the depravity, instead of leaving a trail of breadcrumbs, they leave one of
crack rocks.  *I* think it's funny.

re: #18  when the "colonel" is standing on the sidewalk after sending him off
to deliver the woman to ny, doesn't the female trooper call him "captain"
several times?

and one blantant mic appearance is at the roadblock.

Yeah, I am supposed to go see Rocky and Bullwinkle on Wednesday. I read a
pretty bad review of it in the New York Times but I figure I will probably
like it anyway.
