I am planning a little get-together around the Mr. Brooks broadcast. Any ideas when that might be happening?
-
Yeah, I too would like to know beforehand so I can get Mr. Brooks from Netflix.
-
Anyone know of a file-sharing service that can deal with files that are 800 megs or so?
Off topic. Just curious.

Or split it into several 200mb zip parts and use SendSpace, if that's easier.

This isn't related to the topic at all, but that would be awesome so I wouldn't have to waste a Netflix movie on a Dane Cook film.

Watch this space.

What, is it going to do tricks or something?

You're a champ, yesno.
-
wow I just watched this, and I'm pissed I wasted a netflix on this, but I guess that (the upload, thanks yesno) will come in handy when the show happens. Tom undersold this thing, but I really recommend watching this before the broadcast. The movie went by pretty quick considering it was 2 hours and definitely better with a group.
-
You can also find subtitles for the movie here (http://subscene.com/Mr-Brooks/subtitles-68683.aspx) (look for aXXo).

Anyone who wants to own a copy, it's $5 at Amazon and Best Buy right now.

Good eye! Thanks for the tip.
-
Yeah for the special sale today and tomorrow (Saturday) I think Mr. Brooks is something crazy like $3 at Best Buy.
I don't know if this ruins the spirit of the Mr. Brooks event (I'm watching the Roadhouse/Scharpling mashup movie now), but has Tom considered having anyone else play a part in the fun? I wouldn't want all the parts given to other people, but maybe the William Hurt part could be played by Philly Boy Roy or something. I think that would be great.

If you have any respect for the value of money you will steal this movie and call it reparations for it ever having been made at all. William Hurt and Kevin Costner now owe everyone in America at least $3 dollars, if not more.

Also a 6-pack of Dr. Pepper.

I was surprised to see that Mr. Brooks has a 7.6/10 on IMDB. Usually movies have inflated ratings when they first come out but they die down when people catch them later on DVD or TV.
I too was going to post about it being a $2.99 or $3.99 DVD at Best Buy/Circuit City this weekend, but I don't know if it's worth fighting with the Black Friday weekend crowds.

I'd settle for a personally autographed copy of Sizzle Beach on VHS.

Watched this film last night in preparation. Stinks. Can't wait for Tom's interpretation though.
Can't believe the director of this once wrote 'Stand By Me'. What happened between that film and 'Kuffs' would make for interesting reading. I kept thinking Slater should've played William Hurt's character and just done that eyebrow thing 17 times during the film.
-
Doesn't the Netflix computor automatically contact the authorities when you put that thing on your queue more than once.
-
This thread has the murder gene inside of it.
-
tomorrow? pretty please?
bishop philly gorchnick, esquire will be in australia, and i'll be coming up for air pre-exams!
-
No, not tomorrow! There's actually stuff going on in Miami. Every day and every night. This doesn't happen ever.
-
Any listening parties taking place after hours at a box factory?

I could really see Spike playing the role of William Hurt...

That honestly would be perfect.

My $5 Mr. Brooks DVD arrived from Amazon today. The cover is a HOLOGRAM!!! There was nothing on the page to indicate that this would be the case so it was a pleasant surprise. Kinda amping up the cheese factor.
They are no longer only $5 at Amazon. Maybe Amazon sensed that demand would be high and upped the price.
-
Amazon is a FOT?
-
Can Movie Boy be temporarily put back in the hate pit for this evening's event?

I'd be willing to bet that someone at Amazon corporate is a Best Show listener.
-
Is this no longer going to happen?
-
I counsel patience. What matter if it happens next week or next year, as long as it happens?
-
True. I just relistened to that episode and wondered if I had maybe missed it.
