JL - I need more Keaton as well, I've only got a handful.

You won't regret it

I want to own that thing. I want it a lot. But $150 is a lot to spend.*


*eventually I'll break down and do it, but it might be awhile

I used to see it for around $110 on Ebay but those days appear to be gone. There are some in the set you could probably do without or with a single viewing (Netflix) but at least half of them are essential.

I'm sure there will be. There was a butthole joke and an upper decker joke in the tailer.

don't care. It has Powers Boothe and a fat Val Kilmer villain so it has my $7.50 (or netflix rent).

I watched "Seven Chances" over the weekend. The 20 minute section where he's being chased by hundreds of angry women in bridal gowns almost made me piss my pants from laughter.

Out of that set, I've knocked out most of them. I still need to do "The Navigator", "Three Ages", and "Saphead". And "Saphead" will hit my mailbox tomorrow.

I think you'll love The Navigator. Plus the DVD includes one of his best shorts, The Boat.

The director of '500 Days of Summer' (and nothing else) gets the new Spiderman franchise. His movie was alright. It didn't scream give me a superhero franchise to me, however. Have to wonder, is he brought on because he has a little indie cred and can be pushed around?
The writer of 'Zodiac' and 'The Rundown' (two movies I really like and one of which I will admit to really liking) wrote it.
Some of the buzz is that they may be pandering to the Twilight crowd. The lead is supposed to be cast soon.

Raimi made two great Spiderman movies, that's probably enough for me, especially if 3 is any indication of where he may be going with any future films. But this new movie seems a bit dubious to me.

The "Ultimate Spiderman" series reimagines Spiderman starting with the origin story, recasting him as even younger (15 vs 17) when he gets his powers, and putting his origin in modern day. It's written by Brian Bendis, who is often very good but stretches himself a little thin with so many projects at once. Ultimate Spiderman eventually jumped the shark for me, but if the movie is using it as a template (and it sounds to me as if that's what they are doing) then it could conceivably work. We'll see, eh? The 3rd Spiderman movie was a bad sign, trying to please everyone and pleasing virtually no one.

I finally got around to watching Inglourious Basterds last night. It suffered a ton in pacing and editing. Tons of time is lavished on certain scenes (the opening scene in the farm house is great, but could have been shorter. The rendezvous in the basement of the French bar goes on forever), but it seems like we really only get one scene of the Basterds themselves doing their thing in the war.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun revenge fantasy (especially for those of the Jewish persuasion like me). I just wanted more time with the Bear Jew, more of the back story of the soldiers, and less fartin' around in cinemas and cafes.
