It was DVD tuesday two days ago. And it’s been quite a while since i last bought any DVD’s. So what does this mean?
New DVD’s of course!
Okay so maybe i did promise myself last month that i wouldn’t buy anymore new DVD’s till at least the middle of August but HOW COULD I RESIST?! So many new releases since i last bought any.
So i got:
I watched Speed for the first time since 1994 yesterday morning. And omg, only now do i realize how BAD the acting is in that movie. I never really noticed that before. Keanu Reeves is SO SO bad in that movie. A wooden plank could probably act better him. Well. In that movie anyway. He’s come a long way since 1994.
I’ve never seen UHF before (an old 1989 Weird Al Yankovich movie). I’ve read good reviews about the DVD though. And it’s apparently regarded as a comedy classic. So i dunno. It should be good i guess. I’ll watch it someday.
I’ve never really finished watching the The Thing before. I actually have it on bootleg VCD. Bought it while i was still in Malaysia (before i had a DVD player back then). I never got around to finishing the movie because the second CD was terribly encoded and it keep freezing every 3 seconds making the whole last half of the movie totally unwatchable. So i gave up and decided to wait till i get it on DVD and finish watching the whole thing then. The DVD is pretty packed with extras. Audio commentary, 80 minute documentary, outtakes, deleted stuff, behind the scenes footage, photo galleries etc etc. LOADED. Good stuff. Classic movie too.
There’s a videogame version of the movie coming out soon that looks pretty promising. I hope it lives up to the hype.
The Devil’s Backbone should be pretty good. I’ve heard a lot about it. Saw the trailer last year. Looked pretty spooky. Ala The Sixth Sense/The Others. I’ve always liked Guillermo Del Toro’s work. Chronos, Mimic, Blade 2. All pretty good flicks. Blade 2 was awesome. Love it love it love it. So The Devil’s Backbone should be awesome too (i hope). It’s in Spanish though. So for those of you who can’t stand subtitled movies, well… it’s your loss. You’ll be missing out of some really good horror.
And you might not wanna watch Audition either. Although i’d strongly suggest that you do. I mean come on now, how could you NOT wanna watch Audition after seeing how many great reviews the movie got? Plus it has, quite possibly, one of THE most gruesome torture scenes ever in a movie. So that alone is worth checking it out for. Those wacky Japanese… always making the most fucked up movies/cartoons.
I wish Battle Royale was on DVD. That’s another really good Japanese movie that i haven’t seen. Oh and Audition is in Japanese too by the way. Which is why you probably might not wanna check it out (“AAHHH SUBTITLES! Fuck it”). Well… again, it’ll be your loss.
Don’t be a n00b. Watch movies in widescreen. And don’t pass over subtitled movies just because of the subs. And NEVER watch anything dubbed. And none of that Pan and Scan crap either.
So go rent Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon if you haven’t. And Run Lola Run. And The Princess And The Warrior. All good subtitled movie goodness.
DVD’s that i’m looking forward to buy:
DVD’S. Mmmmmm.
This is so cool. Somebody should buy me one.
ahhhhh…UHF…that brings up some memories. They shot that movie in my home town. (I’m actually in the crowd scene toward the end of the movie…squint and you can see me) The best part of the movie is the blind guy playing with the Rubix cube (Is that it? No. Is that it? No.) That guy (Frank Carlson) was a local actor that I did a lot of work with. Pretty cool. Yeah, I am fucking special, what about it?

Brandon boyd is a lil pop star bitch now. How many times has that fux0r been on TRL?
I wish he’d go back to writing songs about how we need to get off our asses, or change the way we view the world, or just the wacky crazy shit like Enjoy Incubus. I’m so sick of watching them write crappy pop songs that stupid little twits can dedicate to their boy/girlfriends(wish you were here, etc)
what if I had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg and I did not want my pants to get dirty?

I just hope that it will be released in manga, because there was a lot that could not go in the movie.

Brandon Boyd is the most amazing man alive, or at least within the top 15. He is beautiful, talented, has an amazing voice, and really cool veiws on life which are reflected in his songs. I was thinking and i thought that Stellar would be absolutely amzing to make sweet passionate love to. its so rhythmic and just picturing brandon boyd on top of me all sweaty looking into my eyes…. mann, brandon is my god!!!
