And next time I see Alex in SF I will attempt to cleanse his soul of a million bad kung fu movies.

"Jeez, I hope your girlfriend likes Jackie Chan. Otherwise I feel sorry for her."

Are you hating on Jackie Chan? WTF is wrong with you?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I like him really.

Sarah thinks he is "sweet"!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I have seen a Jackie Chan movie for over 10 years.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't see the last couple of Hollywood ones. I liked the Owen WIlson ones though.

I CAN'T STOP RATING MOVIES

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I am searching for actors I hate and systematically hating out their entire catalog.

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

awesome

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I've reached my first snag though.. Macaulay Culkin is in Rocket Gibraltar, which has a Viking funeral. I have to split the difference.

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone seen Get Over It or Wimbledon?

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

God, when you spend 24hrs rating 1400 movies you relize how much of the DVD market is just tv franchises of Highlander/Dune and ultra- conservative stand-up comedians.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah there is a LOT of TV out there on DVD. It's kind of depressing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Both Adventures in Babysitting and Short Circuit 2 deserve 4 stars, maybe 5 (if there is a fifth star option). Adam is really, REALLY SMART Y'ALL.

WAIT A SEC, YOU HATED UNCLE BUCK????

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god yes.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Has Adam broken Netflix by overloading it's ratings matrix????

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Get Over It is totally gr8! Wimbleton I found adorable despite myself.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Sterling you must recommend me some movies.

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

On a whim last night I upgraded my queue to six. Will this eliminate mail delay issues like I hope? I figure with six I can spread the mailing and returns to insure I have a DVD available any given night.

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

My queue is five. I still have lags occassionally though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

The not shipping on Saturdays usually means that by Monday night I am out of stuff to watch now matter how you shake it (plus three day weekends, ack!)

QUESTIONS FOR MY NETFLIX FRIENDS:

JEFF PTTL : SO YOU REALLY HATED LILLY CHOU CHOU, HUH?
CPREK: WHAT IS ECTASY OF THE ANGELS? LOOKS INTERESTING
ALEX IN SAN FRANCICO: WHAT IS YOUTH OF THE BEAST? IT SOUNDS GOOD BUT I DON'T REALLY TRUST IT/YOU

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish i had netflix friends! :(

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Youth of the Beast is another Yakuza film. It's good if you like Yakuza films. If you don't stick with the crap you normally watch. ;)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I love this review of Ecstacy of the Angels though:

"I really could not follow this film until I played it on fast forward (X2 is perfect). It just takes so long for anything to happen, seriously, I wouldn't have been able to watch the entire film without fast forward."

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Youth Of The Beast: "ANOTHER Yakuza film"

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Youth of the Beast: So much better than the ending of Heat it is not even funny.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex in SF loves to have the last word, he should post here!

-- Poundstretcher (adamr...), March 30th, 2005.

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Except I didn't so there nah nah nah nah!

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

( Is ":)" a word?)

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

No, but this is :P

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

How long is the wait on most Criterion releases? (I'm thinking about selling all of my semi-valuable DVDs and just getting a Netflix/Greencine account. Do I really need to own Withnail & I and My Life As A Dog?)

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Both are available NOW!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 31 March 2005 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

you don't need either of those films, milozauckerman!

BY THE WAY, Reel Video in Berkeley (the best video store in the WORLD) is having a huge sale of it's old VHS stock this weekend. They have loads of out of print and rare stuff. I will be there at 9am with all the other nerds!

― Poundstretcher (nordicskilla), Thursday, 31 March 2005 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Ecstasy of the Angels is a Koji Wakamatsu movie about a group of leftist Japanese student guerillas. They are all named after months and days of the week. I think there was a Yakuza connection too, but I was distracted.

The movie is OK, but it's worth queuing up just for the bonus interview with Wakamatsu. "Go! Go! Second Time Virgin" has the same bonus interview with much more violence and sexual assault in the actual movie.

Youth of the Beast was added to my queue today.
