Movie Marathon 2008

It's surprising that I haven't written about this at all, seeing as it starts in about 30 hours. It's mostly because I wrote this to death last year, but also because I've been very busy since we got back. This year is going to be a bigger, louder, more viscous affair. We have a projector (thanks, Work!), surround sound (thanks, Joe!), and twelve fairly kick ass movies. The schedule goes:

9:00am - Bloodsport
10:32am - Raising Arizona
12:50pm - Casablanca
2:47pm - Holes
4:57pm - Grey Gardens
7:52pm - The Warriors
9:25pm - Cube
11:10am - Hard Candy
1:09am - Suspiria
4:02am - Sunshine
6:00am - Footloose
7:58am - Hedwig and the Angry Inch

(And yes, your definition and my definition of "kick ass" might differ slightly.)

There'll be no webcam this year, and no Messenger action, but I'll be Twittering up a storm though, and Jorge will be live-blogging it. And we'll offer up the same A.V. fandango as last year, too.

Wish us luck. See you Saturday.

Is there a particular reason that the majority of these movies have one word titles? You know what else has a one word title?

Crimetime.

I'm just saying.

Jorge has been hasslin' me to come, but due to my co-manager breaking a limb and not being able to work, I'm all by my lonesome tomorrow. So, many apologies for not making it AGAIN this year.

Grey Gardens? Cool. Hardy Candy? Someone must record the male reaction to various parts of this awesome flick. Footloose? Man, I totally regret not being able to go!

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.

A complex phrase, in which the various parts are enchained

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found. Menstruation: the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from pu...
