Well, it is trainspotting for me and I still have to watch it (didn't get round to do that).

I saw the Ninth Gate back when it was in theatres. Watchable.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Gut Pierce? Is that a real name?

Wouldn't that be a little like being named "Head Shot" or "Internal Bleeding"?

I finally got a sig!

9th Gate=great film, great music(but I've had that for awhile)

Macgyver 1st Season DVD Box Set.

Macgyver is the pop icon way ahead of his time. Sad they refused to release the new series "Young Macgyver" after 9-11 because they felt it would inspire people to make bombs from bleach and mothballs and initiate a new generation to thinking for themselves...

God forbid, ingenuity, self-sufficiency and swiss army knives might wreck this entire country!

Shaun of the Dead

The Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode

The Life of Brian

Red Dwarf Series IV

Check out my crappy drawings!

How could you forget Momento? That was surely Guy Peirce's greatest movie.

12 Monkeys was quite good, as well.

My latest DVDs purchased were as Christmas presents for dad. I got Pink Floyd: The Wall and Dune.

The Green Knight, SimeSublime the Puffinesque, liker of chips and hunter of gnomes.

12 Monkeys is awesome. One of the more decent Bruce Willis roles and the twist at the end of it is also formidable. And it has my favourite leading lady Madeleine Stowe.

Not content with only subjecting myself to Ralph Bakshi's animated "Lord of the Rings" I took it upon myself to rent the old Rankin-Bass animated versions of "The Hobbit" and "Return of the King" (note that in the animated ROTK Eomer and Faramir have no dialogue but they can be spotted plus Eowyn has only one set of clothes and no fancy, "floating" white dresses).

MC, I'm gonna need you to scroll down to the ROTK thread and write something there. I was the last one to post there and I try to make it a rule not to put two posts back to back on the same thread (unless it's an emergency).

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

I always had a certain fondness for when the MST3K's took on "Hercules Unchained" and "Hercules Against the Moon Men". "Warrior of the Lost World" was also good, as was "Alien From LA" (so bad it was good that one... I actually that film available as itself on DVD once).

Tell you what. One TV programme magazine is running DVDs with the old English series "Saint", if anyone remembers. I watched this a million years ago and I buy it just for sentimental reasons. I am at episode 4 now, and I can't stop marvelling how on earth people were able to watch a crap like this.

I saw a few un-MSTied movies in Suncoast not too long ago, like The Crawing Eye, Mitchell, Horrors of Spider Island, and even "Manos" of all things! Some of those movies were painful to watch even with Joel, Mike, and the Bots going at them, so I can't imagine why people would want to watch or buy them in their proper form...

You buy them so you and your friends can MST them yourself. It is so fun to go and buy a crap movie for a buck or two and make fun of them with your friends.
