General Movie Thread

Jesus' Son, the book, is fantastic.   

i read the book before the movie (a rarity in my case, i usually never see the movie if i read the book) and yes, i love that book.

Last night I watched Jesus Son' due to all the good things said about it in this thread. It was indeed excellent, so thank you. It was very funny and enjoyable, and Crudup is a great actor, comedic or otherwise.

"Patient complains of knife in the head."
"Stabbing headache?"


Then I tried to watch George Washington, but for some reason it was too depressing for me and I turned it off after the pivotal plot point happens. I think it was that part and seeing the angry guy chop wood and me imagining what would probably later happen to the dog.

If you have the oddball/shitty movie channel "This," they're showing Hal Ashby's THE LANDLORD @ 10 tonight.

I saw Hirokazu Kore-eda's film Distance at BAM yesterday.  It was OK.

I'm thinking of going to see Air Doll.

I don't know if anyone has posted anything about this movie, but while bored at work today I found this...

I saw that too. I'm not that into the Napoleon Dynamite style of cinematogrphy but the Sci-Fi stuff looks hilarious.

Watched Richard Kelly's THE BOX last night. It's either a very multi-layered, creepy lo-fi sci-fi, or an enigmatic, overlong, overwritten, pretentious piece of shit. Not really sure.

Watched Adventureland on DVD. Really liked it, even when it hit way too close to home (except for the whole "cute girls being interested in you" part). Getting to see Bill Haverchuck in college was a treat.

So just the same as Donnie Darko, basically.

Yep. And now the jury (me) is in: it stinks. Now I'm just trying to decide just how much.

A friend convinced me to go see 500 Days of Summer yesterday.
What kind of karaoke bar has Here Comes Your Man but not Born To Run?

You read my mind! I turned to my friend and said the same thing.

Maybe the same person from the Adventureland creative staff who decided that putting "Pale Blue Eyes" on the jukebox of a working-class Pittsburgh bar in 1987 was believable.

Ha! My personal favorite Unbelievable Movie Jukebox Scene is in Goodfellas, when you have DeNiro and a bunch of old school wiseguys sitting around a bar in like 1975 listening to "Sunshine of Your Love". Not so sure about that one.

It would be funny to see a list of other ridiculously unbelievable karaoke/jukebox scenes like that from movies.
