Video needed

Okay, I'm on my own tonight no chicas. What movie should I rent?

I'm partial to Westerns and Sci- Fi. hmmm... I do already have Serenity in the house...

Seen Fifth Element lately?

ooooo...not since the theatre, I think.

Serenety = Teh Pwn. If you like it, Try for the Firefly series that it's based on.

Today I've watched about five episodes of Pete & Pete, a couple Red Dwarfs, Half Baked, and Waynes World... So I can't really think of anything else, off the top of my head.

(if you like to be...confused by your sci-fi)

I like to be challenged by my sci-fi. Is this one poorly thought out, haphazardly shot, or simply tough to get a mind around?

It's shot just fine, minimal sets required to communicate the conceptually challenging idea.

I saw the series not long ago. (really good!)

If you could somehow get the new Battlestar Galactica series from wherever you rent your movies, I'd really highly recommend the pilot movie and/or first season-and-a-half.

I've got BG in my Netflix queue. I'm gonna be making Pete watch it. Thanks for the ideas!

Where do your movie tastes lie, griff? No chicas? To what do they object?

I like long foreign flicks.

Black Robe is awesome if you've got widescreen version.
Any Kurosawa
hell, there is a long list, but I've not got movies on the mind right now.

Throw us a frickin bone here.

I second the fifth element
fight club
Kung Fu Hustle - funny
Animal house
Harold and Maude

OOps, it's Saturday

Oh man, Kung Fu Hustle... greatest kung-fu movie ever. It's the perfect blend of real kung-fu movie and spoof.

Have you seen Shaolin Soccer? Alot of the same cast, has the same "feel" to it as KFH, probably a previous effort by the director or producer. Try it, you'll like it.

Is that a feature length film? I saw about five minutes of it on youtube or metacafe. It was pretty funny, the parts I saw.

Alrighty then, bone thrown.
Lots of good future ideas here, thanks guys. I watched Westender and picked up The Jack Bull for tonight. Pete no like gangster flicks but I think I've seen all the good ones. I'm fried from testing today so that's all folks.

Yeah, full length. Comcast had "on demand" a few months ago, My 12 yr old and I roared.

I just added it to my queue.

Griff, Glad to see you've still got the crucial mobility.

I've obviously missed something. Griff, WTF is up with the casted wing?

Competitive nature, bicycle, pavement, you get the picture.

The broken forearm is bad enough, but man...those four finger amputations must have really hurt! :rolleyes:

Folks are not nearly as nice to me anymore either. You'd think I'd get some sympathy.

I continue to promote the Korean film, Oldboy.

See this.

I watched it last week. :) You are correct to hype it.

Haven't seen Oldboy (yet) so the most disturbing film I've ever seen is still Audition.

Seven Samurai

and then get The Magnificent Seven

I watched Mag 7 recently but haven't seen 7 Sam in quite some time. That would be a nice back to back.

Shoot. Go for both at the same time and watch Westworld. It's an oldie but goodie.

That's the one. Lovely place.

Gosh, the theater I saw that in is now a parking lot for a stop and shop.

Memory lane is rapidly being paved into a 4 lane highway...
