Last night, I watched a movie- "Battle in Heaven"- where this woman gets bent over. And is all kinds of naked, and repulsive:

You also get to see this chick naked:

and involved in a ton of lurid sexual activity (think Chloe Sevigny in 'Brown Bunny'). There was a shot of a closeup on her hoopajoo that lasted 10 to 20 seconds. It was wild.

If I weren't working today I'd make a real effort to go see Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin on the big screen at Webster U

Don't know if you've seen it before or not but, for me, it's one of those that I won't argue with it's importance, etc., but actually does little for me. I wouldn't discourage anyone from going to see it though.

I haven't seen it but I have been to Odessa and walked the Potemkin Steps.

Got that in my instant queue. Can't wait.

Well, that's not true. It's instant. I can watch it anytime I please. I guess I should say I can't wait until I have nothing better to do. Which is sad, really.

I thought the movie itself was ok, but not great.

But you've been warned:

Cool. Best scene in the film.

'Rocket Science' was pretty cool. Pretty typical indie film, almost cliche for the genre even. But man, if you can watch it without falling in love with Hal Hefner and the kid who plays him, you are probably some kind of monster. I liked the movie, but the bottom is definitely falling out of the 'quirky indie comedy' genre.

Also Eef Barzelay did a nice (if, again, very 'indie') soundtrack. I know and love him from Clem Snide. This was great:

I knew I had a few hours to kill before the game tonight, so I picked up X-Men Origins: Wolverine while out shopping today. I figured my expectations were so low that I couldn't possibly be disappointed.

Wow, I was wrong. 15 seconds into the film I was incredulous, and it never got any better. I feel cheated out of my frigging $20, so I'm just going to give it to my deadbeat brother as a Christmas present or something.

I will never understand purchasing a movie that someone hasn't seen. Why, pebbles, why!

I guess I'm an elitist. I only buy DVD/blurays that I expect to watch more than, say, 4 times in the long run, thus I only own maybe 25 dvds.
