Ah, yes, the modern day treasure that is "Hobo with a Shotgun". Mark and I try to figure out exactly where this movie spawned from (do we fail? We don't know, because we don't research anyway). Rutger Hauer plays it straight in this insanely crazy grindhouse flick.

Do THE DECALOGUE!!!!
Oh man... We talked about it. It MIGHT happen in the future, but we'll probably give it some space before coming back to Kieslowski again. We've talked about taking on TV shows, since our format kinda allows us to. I'll mention it to Mark and see what he says. You may have to sit in for a cameo on that one. 
New Episode is up!
We debated whether or not it was a good idea to delve THIS DEEP into the world of European "art-house" film so early on, but hey, this is one of the best works by one of my personal favorite directors, Krzysztof Kieslowski. The film is "The Double Life Of Veronique", easily one of the most beautiful films of the past 30 years, but unseen by most. Starring Irene Jacob (currently seen in Showtime's "The Affair"), "The Double Life of Veronique" is a borderline fantasy film - well, no... it IS a fantasy film, in so many ways. It doesn't feel of this Earth, and the world we experience in the film is wholly unique to Kieslowski's vision as a storyteller. I suggest you check it out, even if only to study the cinematography.

Posting this magical podcast a few days early because I'll be out of town on our regular Sunday to release it. So... Merry Christmas? This week's movie is "RUNAWAY" - a Mark Heiliger favorite - and wonderful cheeseball action affair that you've likely never heard of. It's got Tom Selleck and, well, what else do you need to know? Oh yeah, and it's written & directed by none other than Michael Crichton. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

OKAY, a little late release for today, but here's our untitled podcast for the week, episode 2, as we cover the 1980's cult music film, "Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains". This is a movie that I saw upon it's 2010 re-release on DVD and secretly loved. It's not exactly a great film, but it has some pretty iconic moments and some good scenes worth seeing. The cast is still relevant to this day. "Lost" for 30 years, "Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains" finally had a real release in 2010 for the first time.

(note: updated the title to "The Hell With This" - formerly known as the untitled Mark and Chad podcast.)
I'll keep this all contained to one thread, but... Myself and Mark Heiliger started a podcast we've been mulling over for ages. Rather than sit around and try to figure something classy and good out, we decided just to shut up and record whatever. Our goal, for the most part, has been to focus on lesser-known films, cult, art-house, indie, foreign, whatever... you know, the kind of shit that friends in your head would never touch.
Episode ONE starts with a little podcast on the 2010 movie "Monsters", directed by Gareth Edwards (Star Wars: Rogue One). Figured it was a timely selection, and a great little movie thru-out. Now, if you HAVEN'T SEEN "Monsters", don't fret completely - we start our episodes by simply gearing up for the screening, talking expectations, etc, for approximately 15 minutes before we stop to watch the movie (without you) - so you can always listen up until that point and decide if you actually want to listen further or stop to watch the movie. We'll see how this goes.

Oh, and we'll have a title for the podcast soon...
MONSTERS (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470827/combined
Performers of note: Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able. Special mention of Mario Zuniga Benavides, the awesome "ticket-seller" character, who has never acted in anything else.
Yeah, "Sully" was a good watch. Nothing special - but interesting structure to it. Awful cinematography. I had listened to the original ATC recording at work at some point before seeing the movie (and also the three hours of 9/11 recordings, which are fascinating, just to hear how bad information distorts and spreads so quickly when there's no time to confirm things). Definitely felt like the last few minutes of "Sully" ham-fisted the audience.
Really surprised "The Light Between Oceans" has kinda come and (nearly) gone without a whimper. It floored Matt (Lank) and I (he cried like a little bitch). Could easily be in my top three, if not the best film of the year. Really intricate and complicated drama going on here.
(i refuse to follow the rules of this thread, so I'm returning back to Teague's initial question).
What happened with the first person you ever confessed a crush to, or asked out.
2nd grade - I had a crush on this girl named Sara. Walked up to her in the playground at lunch and said "hey, do you want to go steady with me?" To which she replied, "no, you bitch" and promptly walked away with her boyfriend.
True story. All of it.
Sweet Jesus.
Last day to sign up! Six hours before cut off! DO IT NOWWW
Yaaaaaaas. Yaaaaaaaaas let the hate flow thru you! Join the dark side!
Goddamn nerds.
Bahahahahahahahahaha
*snort*
Bahahahahahahaha
I enjoyed this one thoroughly.
Oh, and speaking of SyFy/Asylum's ZNation, one-off "friend of the show" Anastasia Baranova stars in it. Haven't watched it yet, but am excited to see her getting work.
I blind bought Sorcerer a few months back and wasn't disappointed. I've seen it twice now and probably don't need to see it again, but goddamn - it's the kind of movie you watch and go, "how did no one die making this movie?"
I heard a little They Might Be Giants.
Ah yes, I hear it too... "Dirt Bike" off the John Henry album.
lol, what are you doing, commentary?
I remember there was a big marketing push for this movie when it came out (at least geared towards 11-year-old me) - and I was stoked to see it. I even think I was the Rocketeer that year for Halloween (or was it Darkman?) Anyway, loved it at the time, but watched it recently and it bored me to tears. It's just not a fun movie to watch.
I commend Linklater's gaul for getting it done more than anything. The movie is great, but it's not great because it's particularly moving - it's great because it demagnifies the movie-going experience and forces you to experience the movie differently than other films. You're aware you're watching something that took years to craft and I'd argue it asks the viewer to consider the film existentially, because now, instead of watching a movie, you're having to experience legitimate aging of the people you're watching on screen.
If you were to re-cast "Boyhood" and re-shoot the whole thing with the exact same "script", but with only a 20-day shooting schedule, you'd have a rather blah film about a bunch of people that make odd life choices. Really, nothing happens other than 'they all grow up'.
Under the Skin scared the shit out of me, and I loved it, but I absolutely would not tell anyone to go see it.
Hey, I like things.
ENEMY: Most comparable film would be Eyes Wide Shut. This film has some serious personality - which is far more than I can say about anything else I've seen this year. I'm not sure it's great, but it was fun to watch. The last sequence of shots is still in my nightmares weeks later.
SABOTAGE: Not nearly as good as David Ayers' last film, End of Watch, but not terrible either. Ayers' loves to stage scenes full of actors bickering over each other. Easily it's Arnold's best performance since any of his Cameron films.
NOAH: Personal ranking of Aronofski's films, BLACK SWAN -> THE FOUNTAIN -> REQUIEM FOR A DREAM -> PI -> THE WRESTLER -> NOAH. And yet I'd still say NOAH is borderline great.
