I only remember Willem Dafoe's hilarious performance in Boondock Saints... the rest was a bit shite (or at least forgettable).

If that were true, why does everybody and their mother have that stupid t-shirt with the two leads on the front and their prayer on the back?

Don't get me wrong, good movie overall.  Just HATE that stupid t-shirt.  And people who memorize that prayer.  You're not cool.  You didn't invent it.  Bugger yourself off.

Boondock Saints gets a lot of love from some people, but they seem to be the same people who also give a lot of love to Roger Dodger and Bottle Rocket, two films that I despise at a level I normally reserve for despotic governments.

I have not seen either film so I can't provide another data point.

I have never seen this t-shirt you speak of. I'm sure it exists and I can imagine it pretty easily, but I don't find it as prevalent in my area as it apparently is in yours.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Perhaps it's just my proximity to Boston/NYC, because I've honestly seen it on New Yorkers more than Bostonians.  It's just... I dunno, it seems like one of those Hot Topic shirts.  And when I shirt for a cool indie hits Hot Topic and I see it every other day, it seems to me the movie has jumped the shark (not proper use of the sentence, but the idea is there).

Now, on the other hand, the guy who walked into our store the other day with a THE BEETS: KILLER TOFU TOUR t-shirt gets applause in my book.  Now that's taking mainstream to obscure, rather than obscure to the mainstream.

Yes, I know.  Doug was a mainstream television show, however, The Beets Killer Tofu tour was only mentioned a few times.  Therefore, an obscure reference about a mainstream show.  Furthermore, the store I work at has lots of employees about my age, so they grew up with Doug.  And they didn't get the shirt.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Obviously, you guys should do Hackers.

What a great movie.

One of my most re-read books.  Movie wasn't what I was expecting, but I can't say I was disappointed.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I saw the movie before reading the book. I prefer (and love) the movie, actually. I had the same experience with KICK-ASS. I seem to like what Matthew Vaughn brings to the table.

Not that I hate the book, Gaiman's prose is always literary comfort food and plot-wise it feels very much like an old fairy tale which is exactly the point. But Vaughn diverged in precisely the right way, IMO, to make the story cinematically satisfying.
