ohhh… I’m dying to hear the remaining 4 on monster’s list… how are those purple acid wash fitting your ass crack?
hey dervatis, Esquema Novo THIS!
and I don’t own 25 DVD’s… I was embellishing so I could earn some geek cred… I own less than 20!
Collecting dvds is for people who have websites dedicated to their cats.
I must also replace Dr. Shivago with either Clash of the Titans, First blood or any movie that Nicole kidman gets slammed in or diddles an idiot savant.
]]>jorge ben - Samba Esquema Novo (brilliant brazilian bossa-nova stylings from 1963)
caetano veloso - anything you can find from 1967-1972 (it’s pretty bad after that….)
]]>Soup: What is the last film you bought?
Les Triplets de Bellville – excellent animated story with Canadian input and only two lines of dialogue– rent it, watch it, love it (the opening sequent is worth it alone).
Main Course: What is the last film you watched?
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou – not Wes’ best outing to date, but Bill Murray has still got it, not to mention the AWESOME Brazilian acoustic covers of Bowie songs.
Dessert: Name five films that mean something to you & why.
The Royal Tenenbaums – Wes Anderson is my guru. I love the complexity of the worlds he creates – this one being the deepest and most intricate.
Metropolitan – Wilt Stillman is my other guru. “There is no point in playing strip poker with an exhibitionist.” If only all dialogue could be this witty.
Blue Velvet – One of the greatest movies of all time and certainly the zenith of David Lynch’s career.
Moulin Rouge – Crammed 50 years of pop culture into 2 hours
2001 a Space Odyssey – Spent the last two years of high school getting baked and going on my own space odyssey watching this movie.
Man, this list could go on and on and on…
]]>i bought a bunch before my surgery in january that included the big lebowski, memento, and reservoir dogs. the last one i bought and watched was the documentary DIG! which is fucking awesome. the fact the brian jonestown massacre is my favourite band, and that i got to party with them one night (including an acoustic jam with the lead singer) ensures that there’s no way i couldn’t love this movie. but i recommend it to everyone… it’s a great portrait of a lunatic/genius self-destructing.
5 movies that mean something to me:
Rushmore - “did you say my mom gave you a handjob?”
Spinal Tap - “too much fucking perspective”
Clockwork Orange - “welly welly welly welly welly welly welly well”
One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest - Danny Devito as martini
DIG! - see above

]]>Bought: Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
Recently Watched: Latest Star Wars
Name 5: 5?? That’s pressure. Here goes…
1. The Godfather: First movie that made me realize how symbolism and cinematography go hand in hand. Great story as well.
2. The Graduate: Again for the cinematography. That movie was ahead of its time, I think. Also for the music.
3. The Princess Bride: Because what girl doesn’t love a fairy tale story and Andre the Giant?
4. The Breakfast Club: Hits anyone’s highschool experience right on the nose.
5. Airplane: That movie made me want to learn Jive talk in the worst way.
]]>Finding Neverland… the only I find is a new found inspiration to kill myself - I can’t believe I sat through that bullshit. Maybe I will have to watch it again just to make sure that is how I feel.
I got through 1 hour of I heart Huckabees… bloody bonsia mate! I thought it was really really good - just too tired to stay up and watch the rest of it.
You gotta be fucking kidding me dave - name five films - I could be here forever - I mean this is the hardest quizlette for me yet… #1 is Conan The Barbarian - b/c if you stripped everythign away from man… that is all he would have is his Conan The Barbarian attitude to survive by. I try to leave by the teachings of Arnie on a daily basis. I think I gotta lose my man boobs first though.
I will feed you the rest later.
