This weekend, I'm watching "Over-sexed Rugsuckers from Mars".
Naked aliens from Mars land on Earth and try to create a new species that is a cross between humans and vacuum cleaners. After mating with homeless man Vernon (Dick Monda), one vacuum becomes an unstoppable killer that strangles women and sucks their blood. Full of lowbrow humor, gross-out moments, silly special effects and plenty of violence, this low-budget film has gained notoriety as a cult classic.
I'll be sure to let everyone know if it's any good.

It was bad also. There were some funny things in it- for instance, a hobo fingerbanging a vacuum cleaner (which he names "Dusty"), a chick doing aerobics bottomless, the same chick lip-syncing to some horrible 80's butt rock while using her dildo for a microphone- but not nearly enough to qualify as "so bad, it's good". It was just bad.

Here's the hobo with the vacuum cleaner. Spoilered for size.

Finally got ahold of copy of Carol Reed's "Odd Man Out"

Another classic from Mr. Reed. Good storytelling shot in his typical cool style with excellent use of locale (Belfast Ireland in this case) and a depth of interesting characters.

I saw Bruno. Very funny. Too much penis, but still very funny. He shows the hypocracies and atrocities of different types of people that his last movie. Some scenes were actually scary when realizing the people in the movie were real.

Got "Revolutionary Road" of netflix this weekend. If you want an aggressively unlikable movie featuring characters you're given no reason to care about fighting constantly, this movie is for you.

They even took several of them on an expedition back to the actual spot of the crash. Obviously goes into much greater detail than the hollywood version. Very powerful stuff.

Agreed. Stranded is a great documentary.

that's kinda what I was afraid of. I'll still watch it for OCD/completeness purposes, but I figured it'd be a slog to sit through.
