Sure, knock yourself out.

Haven't seen "Boys Don't Cry" since the first time, which wasn't long after it came out. I remember being affected by it, but I don't remember how exactly. Haven't seen "Lord of the Flies" at all, never heard of "Pizza."

I hate giving up on a movie. I'll stick with a movie through thick and thin, out of pure stubbornness most of the time. But just last weekend, I bailed on one: "Ninja Assassin." I get that there are people who dug it, but I was just bored out of my socks.

I finally got around to watching "Up in the Air" a few weeks ago. Kicked myself for missing it the first time. Great, great movie.

Also … I'm pretty sure I have a man-crush on George Clooney. He's good in everything.

You can do better than that. Gimme a minute, I'll find you something.

Taxi Driver is hard in my top 10.  Hard.

I'm actually not surprised that you didn't dig TAXI DRIVER.  Not that I know you well enough to tell you shit about yourself, so don't take it that way, but you don't strike me as the type of dude that's constantly repressing urges to fight people.

I think the movie might appeal more to those of us who feel like their drowning in a sea of fucking morons and indecent ogres, and the only life raft has Smith and Wesson written on the side of it.

PS -- Just finished up RICHARD PRYOR ON THE SUNSET STRIP.

The wife passed out, so I'm watching SINGLES. Kinda reminds me of a Bertocci flick...

PS -- Is it just me, or do the majority of actors/characters in quirky flicks from the early 90's seem like giant douches?

Very interesting observation. All I could think of when I was watching "Aguirre" was Terence Malick.

(Well. And "Apocalypse Now," obviously. I don't remember the timeline well enough to know if "Aguirre" could have influenced Coppola directly. "Aguirre" was 72, "Apocalypse" was 79, but wasn't "Apocalypse" in prepro for a couple hundred years?)

"A Simple Plan" was Raimi, not the Coens.

I need to embrace the whole Coen Bros. thing more than I have. I haven't really seen any of their "serious" movies except "Fargo," which I remember enjoying but it didn't change my life or anything. The first twenty minutes or whatever of "Raising Arizona" is genius, and "O Brother" is one of my all-time favorite films. I don't want Fop, goddammit. I'm a Dapper Dan man.
