If I never turn off my xbox, perhaps it will just be on there forever?


Anyway, tonight I'm going to watch KICK ASS
No worries...I'm just giving you shit. I'm glad to hear it's good, though, as it's been on my most anticipated list for a while now. I thought Kick-Ass was a ton of fun, so I really hope you enjoy it. I'll be curious to hear what you think.

Good to know! I bet you'll like it, it's really cool. I just posted up a bunch of thoughts in the POST RELEASE thread for CENTURIAN (but they're spoiler heavy so be warned).

I'm really looking forward to KICK ASS even though I've disliked nearly every trailer or TV spot I saw for it. I got the feeling they were just poorly cut or were highlighting aspects to appeal to certain audiences and were not representative of the overall film. I trust the CHUD-munity(c) implicitly when it comes to a given film's qualities.

Just watched Tarkovsky's Ivan's Childhood (which was really terrific btw with the dream sequences being the standouts), and now moving on to a double-feature of Metropolis followed by Marie Antoinette (very excited to see both for the first time).

Yeah, it's only available for US customers. In any case I just discovered that the Blu Ray is coming out in a little more than a week in the UK, so I'll just have to wait a bit longer and get that.

Next up in the player, Cronenberg's The Dead Zone. I've never managed to see it, mostly because - for whatever reason - I've always been confusing it with The Dark Half.

I started watching Centurion this morning before going to work, stopping after 20 minutes to leave. What a bad idea. I completely forgot the old adage my mother taught me: "Never start a Neil Marshal film unless you have time to finish it." You were right, Mom. You were right.

Fucking Hamsterdam. 4 is probably the best season, but Hamsterdam was such a brilliant storyline.

MAX HEADROOM! I preordered from Shout Factory and my copy arrived early!

Came yesterday, actually. Watched the pilot, which was amazing. Like Twin Peaks you watch this show and just wonder how something so weird could've gotten on regular network TV.

Now to watch more! And then Klaus Kinski in ANDROID.

Definitely. I'm partial to Cutty's arc the most, tho. The scene where he takes responsibility for the botched raid, and tells Avon that the Game he has running through his veins that allows him to do what he does, "I ain’t got it in me no mo'." It gets me a little emotional everytime.

I hope to start Season 4 tonight.

I am going to watch some stuff on NETFLIX instant when I get home I think, or else play videogames. I'm not sure. If I do watch stuff on INSTANT, I think I might give that SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND a chance and if it's as awful as it looks

One of my all time favorite episodes, but then, I pretty much like them all. This one is pretty great, though, especially the Secret Agent Super Dragon song that Joel and the Bots come up with.

Awesome! I can't wait*. When I watched MST3K on TV back in the day, I'd only ever catch the sci-fi channel Mike centered episodes. The older ones were forever out of reach, even as I'd pour over the episode guide and laugh at the descriptions for the films

While the internet and continuing DVD releases have been great for catching up on old school MST, I have to admit I'm sometimes reluctant to put on an episode for fear that it could be one of those flicks that is so dull it's hard to make funny. I no longer have the energy or patience I had back in the day for watching something every saturday morning just because it's on, and so I've found I need to plan my forays to the SOL carefully.

Given the title and description though, this sounds like a winner. Glad to hear that that is your assessment as well!

CONFESSION: I ended up watching D9 instead, however, today I *will* watch SECRET AGENT SUPER DRAGON later today, and then return here to offer up an extended look at my thoughts on the episode. I intend to watch it as soon as I get home, actually

PS I also am going to watch DOOMSDAY again (which I originally intended to see a few days ago but the disc turned out to be broken in the sleeve), and KISS KISS BANG BANG again

William Wellman's Track of the Cat starring Bob Mitchum (and produced by The Duke.). TimeOut's review makes it sound a doozy.

Quote:
A magnificently dark, brooding Western - Wellman's second adaptation of a Walter Van Tilburg Clark novel (he also wrote The Ox-Bow Incident) - set during the 1880s on a small, isolated ranch in the Californian mountains, where the depredations of a mountain lion bring simmering family resentments to a head. The god-fearing puritanism of the matriarch (Bondi) has turned sour in her favourite son (Mitchum), brought up to ignore feelings and simply grab what he wants; another son (Hopper), a gentle soul, is mystically in tune with nature; the rest of the family have retreated into a variety of repressions and resentments. Scorning the idea that the marauding beast might be the 'black painter' of legend (spirit of the agelessly old, dispossessed Indian kept about the place as a handyman, Hopper suggests), Mitchum sets out to hunt and kill it. A little perfunctory compared to the novel, where the hunt turns into a dark night of the soul as the hunter gradually realises he has become the hunted, these scenes nevertheless have an extraordinary charge (and weird beauty, with the snowy landscapes shot by William H Clothier in black-and-white on colour stock), reinforcing the subtextual theme that the virgin land is at last exacting revenge on the pioneer who raped it.
