A kid in my hall has a really nice HD TV and a Playstation 3. How can I convince him to let me watch Black Narcissus on it when all he owns is the LOTR trilogy and The Birdcage?

[Gnarls]

By the way, Black Narcissus is on Instant.

You American mutherfucks are so lucky with Instant Watch.

Rolling Thunder's ex-Vietnam War POW Major Charles Rane (William Devane) returns to a hero's welcome in San Antonio in the early '70s. He's bestowed with a red Cadillac convertible, $2,500 in silver dollars, and accolades from all sides. Soon, however, he discovers that all is not as it seems; his wife strayed with a close friend during his years of confinement. He also finds that he has his own personal POW groupie, Linda; her fascination with him is met with the same shoulder-shrugging blandness that he shows toward everything else in what's left of his life. One day Rane comes home to find a houseful of assorted Texas white trash demanding his small fortune in silver dollars. Their efforts to beat him into revealing the location of the money are for naught, so they jam his right hand down a garbage disposal instead. When his wife and kid come home, the two gladly give up the money but the robbers cold-bloodedly gun them down anyway. Flash-forward: Rane has himself fitted with a hook prosthesis (which he sharpens on a grinder), cuts down a couple of shotguns, and points the scarlet Caddy land yacht south towards Nuevo Laredo, bent on revenge. With Linda in tow, he tracks the bad guys as far as Acuña and Juárez, where he hooks up with war buddy Johnny (Tommy Lee Jones) for a final showdown. What would otherwise play as a routine revenge story is given a measure of dimension and depth by Devane's performance and Paul Schrader's script. The comparison to Schrader scripts such as the previous year's Taxi Driver are inevitable and obvious. Like Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle, Rane wears opaque state-trooper sunglasses that allow no window into his dead soul. However, Bickle's internal monologues are missing; all the audience can see of Rane's character is what's on the surface, only what Rane wants others to see. He's simply a vengeful automaton, riddled with a cold, poisonous, implacable rage. Strong stuff indeed. --Jerry Renshaw

Never released on DVD, I'm dying to see it.

i saw Spread because of this thread and it wasn't great but def not bad

i'm downloading Hallam Foe

[topleybird]

You know for a while instantwatcher.com was saying the entirety of Chapelle Show was going to be available starting May 1st, and it wasn't. It was all a terrible lie.

Bunch of stuff in my queue now, probably some obvious picks but whatever man:
Solaris
L'Avventura
Eyes Without a Face
The Spirit of the Beehive
Knife in the Water
Shoot the Piano Player
Black Orpheus
Beauty and the Beast
Metropolis
fuckin' Ong-Back: Thai Warrior
Seventh Seal
Summer Hours
Bunny Lake Is Missing
fuckin' Elevator to the Gallows
and I could basically watch the three seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents forever

I started Spread because of this thread and honestly it was one of the stupidest things I've ever watched. Didn't make it to the end.

Dear Zachary, A Letter to a Son About His Father

I absolutely lost it at the end of this.

i had seen this before, but the other night a few of my friends wanted to watch it. needless to say, tears were shed.

[Poison Cookie]

Cool as Ice

great, great show. My wife was pissed when I found this vhs to rent years and years ago... I told her it was hilarious, she was not amused. I bet her she would crack up during the show - and she was adamant she would not. 4 seconds in was all it took to win the bet. It starts out that strong.

Com Central re-bought the rights and is now replaying the show every night

I know, right? Rarely I may get a little misty-eyed, but this thing had me crying for a good 2-3 minutes. Devestating.

if he owns The Birdcage, I can think of at least one way...

[Robo-Chachi]

Now watching:

I watched about half of Spartan the other day. Until then, I had not realized how truly awful Val Kilmer is.

[hiddenicon]

oh, get fucked. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang shows how great he can be when his material is good and he gives a shit...

[CudNylon]

his accent in this movie changes from scene to scene.

it's about time that kilmer is given the JCVD treatment.

[Robo-Chachi]

Sometimes you say really hurtful things.
