    HTF Top 10's of 2004: Time To Throw Down!

    Pretty decent mix of flicks being nominated. And even though these categories aren't being tabulated, here are some of my further picks for best of 2004. If for no other reason than there were lots of good films, but only ten little spots to fill for the official list, so... ...BEST...

    Directors _Bad Movies, list your guilty pleasures_

    "A place where nobody dared to go a love that we came to know, we called it..." Xanadu (1980) Sad, but true. This crapfest of an excuse for a movie touched something deep and cheesy inside my polyestered soul as a lad, and I can't seem to shake it. Even shock therapy doesn't help. I am...

    DVD Forum Cliches

    What the heck is this "multiple angles" button for? I just got a disc from another region and it won't play on my non-region-free machine! What's all this crap I hear about Dekard being a Replicant? Why doesn't Spielberg do commentary tracks?

    Movies Unreleased in the USA- which ones haven't seen the light of day?

    I don't know that Timothy Carey's uber-cult classic The World's Greatest Sinner (1962) ever got a true commercial release of any kind. For those of us who have seen it over the years, it's certainly indellible, and I wish an Anchor Bay or somebody could finally bring it into the light of day...

    Remastered episode in "The Simpsons Gone Wild". What does this mean?

    I believe it has the darker "killing spree ending" this time. ;)

    Moulin Rouge (1952)

    No, Huston's Moulin Rouge has nothing to do with Baz Luhrmann's. Huston's is a biopic of artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, who is relegated to only a surreal clown in Luhrmann's flick (played by John Leguizamo).

    "Monk" s1 (R1) audio problems?

    Picked up the "Monk" season one DVD set today, and the first thing I popped in was disc four with the special features. Sadly, I seem to be experiencing some sort of audio problem: the music track on the special features is at normal levels, while the other tracks are barely audible, even with...

    Larry Sanders - Columbia wants to know your favorites

    I'll abstain, thanks. I want the season sets or nothing (which is apparently what they're more than happy to give us), especially as like any good series there are minor and major plot strands carried through entire seasons and the series as a whole, building on the shows before them. Geesh.

    *** Official DODGEBALL Discussion Thread

    I saw Dodgeball at a screening Wednesday night. It's good, dumb fun. Hitting somebody in the face with a red ball was funny in the third grade (as long as it wasn't your face), and damnit it's still funny today! The "Simpsons" Troy McClure-type vintage '50s instructional reel with a cameo by Apu...
