AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember hearing about that a while ago. Having liked what would mean I would enjoy this movie? Err... that came out weird. What I mean is what movie would fit this description - "If I liked *insert movie here*, I will like Repo Man."

Also, while not a feature length movie, I last saw the pilot for The Amazing Screw-On Head.

Saw Yes Man recently. It had it's moments and the quirky characters were fun, but it was no gut-buster.

I watched "Knocked Up" on the ipod and I seen "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" at the theatre awhile ago,it was funny for the most part.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was great. It had a little bit of everything, was well-acted and had some really incredible visual effects.

The Doom Generation. I think that made it about 3 times I've seen it from beginning to end.

I'm currently DLing a DVD-R of the R2 release, which sports a 16x9 transfer, as opposed to what I have, which is a Trimark DVD (released by Lionsgate) sporting a 4x3 pan-and-scan transfer. The latter also is sourced from an analog source, whereas the former is sourced from a better source.

Taken from Cinematik torrent for Gregg Araki's "Teenage Wasteland Trilogy"
Doom Generation is the Uncensored Director's cut and it's anamorphic widescreen.
(Source is from the Studio Canal French DVD, Australian release used the same transfer.- Both are very hard to find.)
All other versions all over the globe are Pan and Scan.
Not only that, the P&S is from a analog source.

Pan and Scan version (OOP R4 & R1 use same transfer) Check out that dotcrawl
on the red blanket by his feet and his shoulder.(Analog source)
As you can see a lot of information is cut off.

R4 (Re-issue) Australia (Uses the same Anamorphic Transfer from the OOP French DVD)

Gran Torino. It was an excellent film, although the acting from most of the cast wasn't the best.

Cronenberg's The Brood. Hate to say it, but my first real time watching Cronenberg didn't really impress me. The enemies were pretty laughable, and the acting was shoddy, though having recently read a few things about Cronenberg's obsession with flesh and its corruption really did make sense in this film. It's him, but it was pretty laughable.

And I just watched Cronenberg's Scanners. And it was AWESOME! Ok, so Stephen Lack didn't exactly give a great performance, though his kinda drugged-out and almost nonchalant reading of the lines was better than the acting in The Brood. And, as has happened in every movie I have ever seen Michael Ironside in, I thought he was great. But the whole psychic warfare...oh man, I loved it. I absolutely loved it.
