Didn't they talk about all this (Tron stuff) on the 1st anniversary show?

One of you crazy fans who listens to each show ten times (you know who you are), can you verify this?

Hmm, I watched Four Brothers last night on TV, I like that movie for some reason.

Also, Bloodsport needs to be done.

So I just finally saw eXitensZ, and yeah, it's kinda a perfect DIF movie.

Teague probably hates it, though.

The Fly II

You did the first film and you have a compulsion to finish an entire series once you get started with the original film. A lot of people don't even know this sequel exists and it while it's a largely forgettable film, two things stand out.

1. John Getz is the only returning actor from the first film and has some of the greatest puns of all-time.

2. It features the most heartbreaking scene I've ever witnessed.

Just finished the One year Anniversary special. Can see now why TRON is impossible to do an intriguing commentary on. Would probably be the equivalent of doing a commentary on a documentary. Which makes me wonder; is there a documentary that warrants a track? I offer "the King of Kong" or "Crumb." I think King of kong is one of the greatest sports movies of all time. It also captures 80s nostalgia and arcade games very accurately.

I recently saw a Korean film called Old Boy. It's dark, complex and fucked up in all the best ways. I would enjoy a commentary of Old Boy.

Cloverfield.

Just realized I've never made any suggestions of my own.

1. The Incredibles

2. Life of Brian

3. Close Encounters

4. Soylent Green

5. Puppetry of the Penis (is this on DVD yet?)

Someone had brought up doing Documentaries, and its something I've nudged for before.  Teague has had a (totally reasonable) objection to doing them, but I would still be interested.  I come from a docu background, as my student Doc got a DVD release about 10 years ago.  I am a huge doc fan, and the Doc section of my DVD/Blurry collection eqauls roughly 1/4. 

My short list would be

1)  American Movie
2)  Dark Days
3)  This Move is Not Yet Rated
4)  Mr. Death
5)  Dogtown and Z-Boys
6)  E-Dreams
7)  Overnight
8)  Capturing the Friedmans
9)  When We Were Kings
10) The War Room

Like most Asian films, it's dark and mysterious and enjoyable until they actually explain the mystery at the end, and you just go "...wat? Really? Okay, but...I mean...why?"

I thought the movie was cool and particularly the bit with the hammer and the hallway, but by no means was I mindblown like people said I should be. I had essentially the same reaction to it that I did to BATTLE ROYALE -- that it wasn't nearly as fucked-up as I'd heard.

Wait wait wait. Let me see if I understand this timeline.

JU-ON comes out and is a big hit in Japan.

American studio wants to remake it in America and hires the original director for the remake.

They then release the remake back in Japan, essentially re-releasing JU-ON to the original audience but with white people and subtitles.

I guess it never occurred to me that, of course, an American remake of a film will be released worldwide including in the origin country. And thinking about it seems insane.
