BOO! Make Girl With the Dragon Tattoo come out sooner!
Next week
Yippee!!! The internet is the best place on your shitty little planet, Earthling.
I haven’t wanted to see an animated film this badly in decades.
I remember watching “The Burning Moon,” in German, on a bootleg VHS about ten years ago. Though I don’t know a lick of the language, I think the plot involves someone loving human innards…a lot.
I guess it is about a drug-addled or otherwise messed up dude telling bedtime stories to a little girl. It’s supposed to end with his vision of hell.
That sounds about right.
I was wondering who that older actor was in “This Is Who I Am.”
I guessed it–Frank Stallone!
If you’re trying to chart Ralph Bakshi’s evolution from Fritz the Cat to Lord of the Rings, you have to fit Coonskin in somewhere in the middle. A bit of a puzzler, that one.
As much as I dislike some of Ralph Bakshi’s work I have to admit that Coonskin looks like i was made to appeal to the sociopath in me.
God, the 70s was such a cool time or at least that’s what my faux-nostalgia tells me. They even did racism better then we do right now.
In all honesty, the first movie I saw Michelle Williams in was Brokeback Mountain, and I thought she was pretty good in it. But, it wasn’t long before I realized “woman who just saw her husband getting buttf*cked by Heath Ledger” was her default expression.
I come to this site for the humor, comments and camaraderie; any movie data I pick up is tangential. I’m way too deep into my 30′s to give a shit about movies anymore. However, I really appreciate these Mid-week guides and the Weekend previews. Thanks, gents!
Not sure if you mentioned it last week or before, but Outrage is a solid streaming choice as well, that is if your into yakuza gangster chopstick stabbings.
Now that you mention it…
The only thing missing is a little kid drinking vodka from a Batman Returns collector’s cup .
*Looks out screen door*
Check. Oh no. Wait. You said Eastern Europe, not North Reno.
BTW if you saw the Wound trailer and were intrigued you might want to check out a movie on Netflix instant called The Champagne Club. It’s pretty righteous.
I’m oddly fasinated by your brother now, Mort. I must know more. I think its kinda like the same way I am with incredibly cheap people (the like ones who reuse dental floss) there’s some kind of metal illness there that I am obsessed with. Please tell me more about this crazy person…
