Re: Suggest a movie!
Scientifically speaking, you can only get like 50 minutes into Tron before it devolves into the occasional "huh, neat" and "wtf does this have to do with anything"

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?

Re: Suggest a movie!
Ooh that would be me I think. Yeah, if memory serves, Trey said he had warned everyone about how it was a bad film to do a commentary on (or just a bad film period ;P) and talks about how he left the room to go and do something and returned to find the others struggling through the same damn scene.

Re: Suggest a movie!
So I just finally saw eXitensZ, and yeah, it's kinda a perfect DIF movie.
Teague probably hates it, though.

eXistenZ is a more docile version of Videodrome, which was wayyy better.
And nothing beats Bloodsport!

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.

2010: The Year We Make Contact
it has to be done.
Re: Suggest a movie!
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.

King of Kong is the most likely choice, off the top of my head.

Re: Suggest a movie!
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.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Okay, this is just another in the long list of— hang on. This belongs in Off Topic. I'll see myself out.
Re: Suggest a movie!
1) We have to do it. My favorite Pixar movie for a lot of reasons.
2) Would love to hear that. Huge Python fan.
3) I'm almost positive it will happen.
4) Meh.
5) Um....yeah.

Re: Suggest a movie!
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

Re: Suggest a movie!
Asian directors often feel they don't NEED to actually explain anything, that "supernatural shit happens" is an acceptable backstory. I think it's THE GRUDGE where for the American remake they added scenes saying what was going on, then when the Japanese director did his own cut for the Japanese market he cut those scenes back out.

Re: Suggest a movie!
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.

Re: Suggest a movie!
You got it. You have to realize, many Japanese find Americans and the English language exotic and cool 
Hell, they've done Japanese anime with only an American cast then subtitled it for their own domestic market. With The Grudge, they probably figured Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a big domestic draw.
(the Japanese studios want US remakes, as they will get a wider international distribution then the originals)
