Does a black and white Gunsmoke episode count? I've also been privy to a section of Sid & Nancy (they cut a ton out of it). There was also this crap western that we had to cut, but it isn't worth mentioning. These were all in an editing class, mostly already captured media that was cut with...
I'm in the same boat you're in, Jason. We watched a film print of Onibaba for part of a class I'm in and the minute it was over, I was already racing to get to a computer to preorder it. A simple, yet deeply disturbing film. Great stuff. My order is sitting in a postage sorting facility in...
I'm incredibly psyched about both of these titles. My main criticism of Ali was that it was covering too many years with a commercial (read: shortened) running time. Let's hope it works. Sheesh, I recently broke down and bought Das Boot!
Managed to score one copy at Borders. My theory is that they did take all the copies of the movie off the New Releases shelf...but not the one slipped in the huge Theatrical Film shelves. Chalk one up for the good guys.
I spent last semester during Spring Break holed up in my friend's room burning through the original Deus Ex and Thief II, both games I never had the chance to play (being a broke Mac user). So when the sequel was unveiled, the game was relatively fresh in my mind. I fought the urge to buy it...
I'd like to see Neo's work get collected, but they are fairly new to the game. Still, their latest vid, Futureshock's "Late at Night" was enough to make me think this duo deserves a disc of their own. They used to have their collected work, aside from their short films posted on their site...
I recently found out (via IMDB) that this film was shot around Claude, Texas, a town I have passed through dozens of times. Knowing that, I can almost sympathize with Hud. It's not a bad place but a lonely town. They managed to capture that feeling of empty space (as opposed to the positive...
Director Zhang Cheh's Vengeance! would probably be a good starting point, but you're choices in watching it are limited (VCD or Region 3 dvd). Think Point Blank with some incredible many-against-one fights. Cheh was in the credits for Kill Bill, amongst Charles Bronson, in the Special Thanks...
What I'd like to know is if Miramax will be releasing the Shaw Brothers movies they recently acquired from Celestial as a part of Kill Bill's dvd debut. This would be a rare case of synergy where everyone benefits (well, unless they cut and redub everything).
Dang, I was hoping that some of the stores would flash their price for Better Luck Tomorrow. It's probably for the better (for my wallet, at least). Scarface will be it for this week, thanks mang.
It works! I managed to nab the Criterion edition of Fear & Loathing with it for under 22 bucks. Suddenly, a bunch of the past criterion titles look so...so...affordable! Thanks for the heads up, Tony!
Last semester, when it was whispered that a major motion picture was going to be shot in and around my college's studio, it wasn't the director, Ron Howard, or the star, Tommy Lee Jones, that got me excited. It was the fact that Cate Blanchett was going to be in it. The movie (on track for a...
Wow. I keep expecting this news to originate from some kind of bizarro alternate reality, but I'm not complaining. Let's hope Ebert chips in on a commentary track on his contribution to this film.
Canderous runs into another Mandalorian, Jagi, who was under his command during the war. Candy ordered Jagi's unit into the grinder, and now Jagi, the only survivor, wants him to pay. I literally ran into this sidequest, which I think is a random planet quest, by using Canderous and returning...
Scott: The Jagi quest ends more or less with another conversation you'll have with Canderous when you or him level up. He'll go on for a while, but all you need to know is that he reiterates the Lethal Weapon mantra: He's too old for this shit. I'm surprised that the quest itself was seperate...
Scott: Quick Answer- Use the force. Longer Answer- Are you holding down the A button before the green light? If so, you're tacking on a few a seconds with a slower start. Hit, and hold, A exactly when the green light comes on. That may help. And no, you can't upgrade your swoop. Since you...
In the topside cantina (the first one you encounter), there should be two or three men in there along with one pazaak groupie. One is a pompous ass who offers to seperate you from your credits in a pazaak game. The other gent is a former pazaak player, he'll give you his deck and some pointers...
I managed to beat it in a little over 45 hours, trying my damnedest to do everything that could get Light Side points. By the finale, I was using nothing but Jedi, as each member could act as an instant medic without draining my items. The weirdest side quest I missed was unintentional. After a...
Whew! I was going to pitch a fit if they didn't include the music video for "Ben". I haven't even seen the film, but I caught the vid on the official website. It definately got me interested in the film; alas, there were too many movies out at the time and not enough money.
I'm terribly defensive about the film, as I'm a huge fan of the comic and of some of the talent going into making the film. That being said, I found the film nowhere as bad as reviewers or even some of the HTFers had said, but it was still miles of pure silliness. Thre were good moments, but...
I'm looking for a trio of GBA games: Puyo Pop, Chuchu Rocket, and Super Puzzle Fighter II. If you have one of these games and are willing to part with it, please drop me a note. -Chris
What a hard film to type about... I enjoyed the direction Ang Lee, the acting, and the effects, but I couldn't end up liking this film. I think what may have been my problem with the film was the plot's insistance to repeat, again and again, that Bruce had a Severely Traumatic Moment. By the...
Sadly, I'm going to have to agree with the negative comments about the film. I was hyped about this film from the first trailer, and those expectations imploded as the film unspooled. If the Animatrix short had not appeared before the film, I think the poor ticket cashiers would have faced the...
There was a bit of a delay on my confirmation email as well. I ordered on Thursday afternoon and did not get the note until 11ish that night. My guess would be that they are processing a large load of orders since it was just announced. -Chris
