Justin, it is your night. Make the call. It seems like we all have a million ideas no matter what direction it goes.

And The Burbs.

The dumb wife character in the burbs married to the army neighbor was the mother of a friend I made in CA. She got us high and made us pizza...not so dumb after all.

Wow, great responses. I think for the first week I will just go with the first suggestion, since it's on my list of movies to watch that I've never seen. Aden, "Harold and Maude" if you please!!

Sunday 7:30 at CTT

I'd love to!! But I can't be there at 7:30.... I'll write down comments and get the disc to ya, and get there when I can...Sound good?

I suggest The Iron Giant. One of the few movies that makes me cry every time I see it. I have the DVD of that, but I have to get it back from one of the bartenders at Casino's first.

More suggestions from me:

Sweet Smell of Success
The Long Goodbye
Bringing Up Baby
Miller's Crossing

I could also make an opening a trailer for some night featuring me in all the crappy movies I've been in--should add up to about 7 minutes of dumbness with me with hair, also starring Judge Reinhold. Who else has movie stuff they've been in? Arthur? Who else?

I would fuckin love to see that Shannon.

I was in 2001 as a blinking light of past anxiety.


I can't believe Harold and Maude won out over Airborne featuring seth green and jack black.

I don't remember seeing Airborne on this thread; that definitely would have won: "Can't we just settle this over a basket of fries?"

I will say we should save Harold and Maud until such time as Aden can be there and deliver an intro in person.

Next down the list is Cody. You mentioned Daylight Zone. Never heard of it. So, I'll give you the pick. DZ or another of your choice. You studied film, so make it good. NOT Nacho Libre.

PS: I would love to see clips of people in movies. Always wanted to have a student film night where everyone brings in their student films they made in school. I don't know where mine is, though.

I'd like to do something most people haven't seen.

The daylight zone is pretty incredible, but you have to be in the right spirits for it. Its a christian short. The trailers alone though would be a nice intro to the Paradise Lost documentaries.

Have you seen:

Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost II: Revelations
Instrument (the fugazi rockumentary)
Storytelling
They Live

when was the last time you watched Red Dawn?

I like watching Rope and calling out all the hidden cuts.

I've never seen any of those.

If we want to get wicked weird/obscure, I'd love to do Daisies and Celine and Julie Go Boating (so fucking awesome and strange).

I've also never seen and would love to see Robot Holocaust and Roller Blade (not to be confused with Roller Ball).

I think Aden is in rehearsal with GGG until about 9 pm. Is that too late for movies???? No way!

The paradise lost documentaries are almost 6 hours if you watch them back to back. I think the first one is close to 3 hours. They're a lot of fun though...well pretty depressing, but exciting and entertaining.

"Berlinger and Sinofsky's documentary of a gruesome triple murder in West Memphis, Arkansas and the subsequent trials of three suspects, takes a hard look at both the occult and the American justice system in 'small-town' America. Three teenagers are accused of this horrific crime of killing three children, supposedly as a result of involvement in Satanism. As in their previous documentary, things turn out to be more complex than initial appearances"


Storytelling is only 87 minutes long. It is two short movies put together. The first is fiction and the second is non-fiction. I enjoy the way that the two are presented differently to make one feel more like fiction and the other non-fiction.

Robot Holocaust!!!
