I never cared for School of Rock. High Fidelity Black wins by knockout punch.

Anonymous Robot posted:I've seen every single one of those but Klown and Cannibal, and I'm not a big fan of the Parkers. The Parkers? Regardless of any hangups you might have about Trey Parker, you should watch Cannibal! The Musical because it's a very funny musical full of very good jokes and it's not rude or politically charged like any of his other work, it's just a nice, hilarious comedy musical. It's fun and wonderful. Please watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CizU8aB3c8

Cannibal is alright but I feel sending people in with high expectations is just asking for trouble. Also Jack Black is pretty cool. He picks some bad roles but that's true for pretty much every comedic actor due to the fact that a good percentage of Hollywood comedies are awful.

I know that will never pop up on streaming, but if you're a big fan of the movie, you're missing out if you don't track it down.

A friend of mine gave it to me a long time ago, with such overhype about how hilarious and amazing it was, that I had to question whether we had even watched the same thing. It's alright.

The Musical's commentary track is basically like an entire other movie that just happens to use the same footage as Cannibal. Like, even at times when I wasn't in the mood to watch Cannibal I could still put the movie on with that commentary and enjoy it every time. precision posted:I love Richard Linklater and wanted to like School of Rock but it was just mostly so boring.

You can't expect the next Slacker when you have Jack Black playing teacher in front of a classroom of kids and Joan Cusack. I thought it was a sweet, predictable and occasionally amusing movie. It was also written by Mike White, and on that note I really hope against hope that Enlightened gets picked up by Netflix.

I just rewatched Naked last night and I'm gonna have to insist you all watch it. It goes up its own rear end a little bit but overall the performance by Thewlis (and the girls) really makes it. Just a loving great, dark, nihilistic piece of poo poo of a film.

I watched Stake Land which looked like a lovely horror/action movie with a vague ripoff of Zombieland as the story arch. It ended up being a dark, slow, dramatic piece that exceeded my (low) expectations. Not bad.

See I couldn't disagree more with the latter statement; there are parts of Pick of Destiny that I do like (namely all the Tommy-esque rock opera sequences, the Sasquatch trip) but the rest of it was just a really boring stoner comedy that seemed to plod along until the half-decent climax. It's just a bit uneven.

It's just a bit uneven. Yeah it didn't help that like at least 75% of Pick Of Destiny was just repeating jokes from the HBO show and their first album. I loooooooooove Cannibal the Musical though. I understand it's a bit... shabby, but man it slays me every time.

Cannibal! is one of those movies that I admire more than I actually enjoy, if only for how much they managed to accomplish for just a student film. It has some brilliant moments and a few great songs but as a whole it's really uneven. It's definitely the best of those late-90s cult films, it's a goddamn masterpiece compared to Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter.

I can't believe I bought JC: VH on DVD, sight-unseen, all because I liked the short film by the same actor/director which was featured on the "Tromadance" DVD. The only good thing about that movie was the Rodney Dangerfield Ending, because more movies need Rodney Dangerfield Endings. On Cannibal!, I think the official story is that Parker and Stone submitted it to a festival committee or something, and they were shocked that someone actually delivered a full, feature-length film instead of the usual short or trailer.

You really need to get the DVD of Cannibal for the commentary track. It's Trey & Matt drinking a bottle of booze, getting progressively drunker, and talking poo poo about all the people who thought they wouldn't be successful.

I just watched The Details with Toby Mcguire, Elizabeth Banks, and Dennis Haysbert (whom I have a total hard-on for, ever since The Unit). It was a pretty good little flick, I would recommend watching it.

I was then disappointed that it took forever to come out and when it did come out it received really mediocre reviews. I think it's a really good, dark comedy.

Naked is certainly unpleasant and mean-spirited, but at least it's also really loving funny as a consolation. "So what is it you guard then?" "Space." "You're guarding space? That's stupid, isn't it? Because someone could break in there and steal all the loving space and you wouldn't know it's gone, would you?" "Good point."

Somehow I suspect that is not an adaptation of the David Sedaris book of the same name.

He did a fantastic interview on WTF with Marc Marion pretty recently. His creative process is pretty interesting, and his dad is one fascinating guy. If it's still up for free, you should give it a listen. It also proved to me once and for all that if there is such a thing as "gaydar", I just don't have it. Oh, and for all you Uwe Boll superfans out there, I'd just like to remind you all that his 2007 masterpiece Postal is still up on Instant Watch. It peaks early with Dave Foley's cock, and it really doesn't go anywhere interesting from there. You should stay for Verne Troyer getting paid for a public appearance in Jew gold teeth, and then subsequently getting raped to death by a cell full of chimpanzees, though. Really clever stuff.

I bet you'd love these direct-to-video softcore movies and lovely Z-grade horror flicks!"

Can you guys recommend some disturbing, dark and violent thrillers? Just watched Antibodies, which was all right. EDit: Also thrillers and horror flicks taht play with sexuality. Something like Antichrist would be a bit too much, though. ManOfTheYear fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Jun 6, 2013 |

thetedster posted:Have you watched I Saw The Devil? Yeah, I did, and Korean films are a bit  for me. I don't really know how to explain it, but I get that violence can be a part of a story and a means to push the story forward, but when the movie literally is all and only about violence I really get confused. I Saw The Devil is just scene after scene of gore and viscera and bodily fluids and there almost isn't any story to it, it's just people being horrible to each other. It's been a couple of years since I saw it and I could have missed a lot of things, but movies like that just seem pointless, for the lack of a better word. I don't get what I should "get" from flicks like that.Don't know how to explain it better than that.

The only thing I didn't like about I Saw the Devil was the cannibal family, because it's so out of left-field. It contributed absolutely nothing to the film except giving the protagonist one extra hurdle to get through before the end of the story. The cat-and-mouse chase around that part was what was interesting, we didn't need extra antagonists for the "hero" to kill.

precision posted:I swore I'd never watch that... but now I probably will. Just understand that it's the worst kind of garbage. It's made worse by the fact that there's honestly a couple of good, solid laughs in the movie. A few of the scenes in it are, like, on purpose funny, and the fact that they're surrounded by the sorts of poo poo that a thirteen year old would probably commit to film if he'd had the resources makes you hate yourself for finding them funny. When I think back to the first episode of Maron, where a fat, depressed, morning-drunk Dave Foley is lying on his stomach on Marc's floor and lamenting the horrible turn his life and career have taken, I'm pretty sure he's drawing his motivation from having starred in Postal.
