This Thanksgiving, when visiting my parents, my mom gave me my original VHS copies of The Trilogy, finding it int he attic. I've been waiting for an excuse to break out my VCR (it's somewhere in my closet), and this is the perfect excuse!
Thanks guys, and here's hoping Mike's recovery is fast.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Wolverine: Origins, Seven Samurai, and Eraser
Now, that's just cruel.
A commentary on a documentary about faking the moon landings could be the funniest commentary in the world!
Or a commentary on Expelled? (that Ben Stein ID doc)
I like the idea of doing a double bill of the Korean oldboy and the American one when it comes out.
I say do Let the Right One In and Let Me In (which I think is a pretty good remake)
But also just do Oldboy (the real one)
And I'd love for you guys to continue the Tarantino commentaries.
The PG-13 rating is such bullshit.

Ah yes. This one gets honorable mention for a childhood rotation movie, but this came in after I'd already watched the others about a million times each.
I actually really want to do a commentary for this because it is possibly the bleakest, saddest, most disturbing kid's movie of all time. (And the sequel is no slouch in the fuckedupedness either.)
Would love a commentary for it.
I was born in '76 so I was 12/13 when I started watching action films, so my three as a teen were Robocop, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. Tango & Cash, Predator and Red Heat were scattered throughout that lot too. And Commando. And Lethal Weapon 2.
Yep, was born in '75, add The Last Boy Scout to that list and those were al in my rotation.
I remember Oz as being an Easter tradition (aired on CBS).
Very fun commentary, and thanks for clearing up the aspect ratio thing. I watched this (while listening) having borrowed the 70th anniversary DVD (from my mom) and thought, "Damn, wish I had the blu ray so it would be widescreen", so when I do buy the BD, I won't be confused when it's not 
My three: Star Wars, Explorers, and The Goonies (Neverending Story being very close too, they showed that on HBO A LOT, back in the day, along with Krull)
Funny how these three ages us, Space Jam? You're not old like me.
People who text/use their phones (especially answering them and carry on conversations) should be sent to Gitmo for "re-education".
I love this movie.
I wonder how many don't like it because they get mostion sick? Don't blame the movie for your weakness.
Libertarian Superman just wants to smoke pot and not get busted, stop judging guys.
I think Lois' spelling problems is just mean as a character quirk. I think it even continued and was a joke on Smallville.
You can be smart and spell for shit (ahem).
Yeah, you know if a Superman came to Earth, religious peole would freak the fuck out, right? (Sorry, your god is fake; THIS IS REAL BITCHES!)
If you're thinking about Charlize's push-up form during that scene, you're paying attention to the wrong thing
Enjoyed the commentary very much (I'm in the hater camp; always nice to hear why I hated it said so well.
You can find it on Downcast now
I can't find it on Downcast, any news on that? (or am I just an idiot)
Saw Frankenweenie finally, and really iked it.
Despite Brave being a disappointment, I think this year was a strong one fro animated films.
Recently have seen Searching for Sugar Man and Queen of Versailles and both are excellent. Still need to check out The Invisible War and Jiro (and others, but those are on Instant)
As far as the 9/11 calls, they probably did really cross the line, and the more I think about it, the more I see your points, but that opening really worked for me at the time, so chilling.
Also, loved Haywire, forgot to mention it. And The Raid barely missed my top 10. If I were more of a martial arts fan, it wold definitely have made it.
Ooh, TV
1. Mad Men
2. Girls
3. Breaking Bad (1/2 season after all)
4. Bob's Burgers (so goddamn good)
5. Louie (just not as strong as last season)
6. Parenthood (seriously, great show)
7. Parks & Rec
8. Boardwalk Empire
9. Community
10. Justified (no Mags this season)
This movie is great Allison, DIF are wrong!
(Can't wait to listen)
Also, Brick is great.
For some reason, this episode is skipping around weirdly, the opening plays twice, Eddie talking about Jiro repeats (off iTunes, is it just me?)
West Memphis is just over the river from Memphis (in AR)
Top
1. Django Unchained
2. The Avengers
3. Zero Dark Thirty
4. Looper
5. Les Misérables (I'm a huge Les Mis fan, know just about every lyric; I can understand that if you aren't familiar with the musical, you might say WTF)
6. Argo
7. Cabin in the Woods
8. Safety Not Guaranteed
9. The Innkeepers
10. Killer Joe
Surprises: Snow White, I really liked it, and it might be the best looking film I saw all year. But part of me does think, if only Bella hadn't been cast, could've been so much better.
Worst
I did not hate Brave, but it was a big disappointment
ATM
Hit & Run
1.Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
I did not hate Amazing Spider-man
Hooper did actually shake things up with Les Mis. It didn't feel it was theatrical at all, with all the close-ups, and though that doesn't work all the time, I admired the ambition of doing it. A few songs and actual spoken dialogue were added too, so it really did do things differently than the stage show.
Though, I agree about the structure feeling off.
And come on, Batman Begins is not shit, problematic yes, but "shit"?
I love Jaynestown!
Just had to say.
Carlos Jacott was also on Buffy and Angel (one of 6 actors to be in at least 3 Whedon series)
Valjean then DIF doing Firefly?
Best.Xmas.EVER
The godless DiF give godless (Joss is also an atheist) presents to the godless. I love it. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too.
Book: Captain, you mind if I say grace?
Mal: Only if you say it out loud.
You guys need to start talking about what route's you'd take to these places to really make this a Californians SNL sketch 
I agree Death Proof is his worst film.
Still really like it though, mainly because of Russell. That striptease/tease for the striptease scene is worth the price of admission IMO.
Weird, I don't think I've ever heard of Chicken Little. (Oh yeah, Zach Braff)
Will check it out.
Unrleated (more unpopular opinions)
I love Kristen Wiig. And that may not seem like an unpopular opinion, but I seem to meet (mostly on the web) people who really dislike her.
I've enjoyed some Dave Matthews Band songs And Dave is super talented (as are all the members, especially the drummer).
I like Kill Bill 2 more than Vol. 1 (but love both)
And hell yeah for all the Death Proof love. I do agree about Zoe Bell though. She's not that great of an actress, but her stuntwork is so good, I can overlook (and it was a Grindhouse film after all).
Also, I love Michelle Rodriguez (even as Ana Lucia).
Chicken Little or Chicken Run?
If the latter, then I love that movie.
Ice Age is meh
So, I was listening to a movie podcast called Battleship Pretension. It's a really good podcast, but both hosts do not like BTTF.
Can you believe that? I mean, who the fuck doesn't like BTTF!
I learned it from watching you Pavlich! I learned it from watching you!
He tweeted about some commentary you guys were doing, though can't remember which, I like commentary, checked it out, been hooked ever since.
