I'm running out of movies I want to watch. Start suggesting stuff for me. Preferably more indy stuff that I'm not likely to've heard of, preferably at least a bit on the "edgy" side. I like pretty much every genre (save maybe horror), and I'm not opposed to subtitles. Shoot.

And what's he supposed to do after that two minutes?


Yeah I padded that time by about a minute forty-five. You're welcome big guy.
Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

Aswesome Brit Movies:

Layer Cake

Sexy Beast

I'll reinforce SLC Punk & Run Lola Run, both are awesome!

Here is a documentary that comes with a warning! If you watch this, you can never bitsch again...about ANYTHING...it's over...:

Little Dieter Needs To Fly

They also just made a Movie Movie out of it, called Rescue Dawn. Same nutcase director, Werner Herzog, which leads me to this documentary about Herzog and Klaus Kinski called:

My Best Fiend

Herzog will also be an actor in "THE GRAND" coming out soon. It's a poker mockumentary and already earned the nickname "Spinal Felt".


And here a few random ones:

Domino (Keira Knightley is so fkn hot)

Lord Of War

It's all gone, Pete Tong

Brazil (Pretty sure you've seen it...)

Downfall - Here is a scene from the movie about Hitler's last days.

The Triplets of Belleville

I seem so recall this looking cool, but have no idea what it's about. there is no dialogue in this movie, yet apparently very dynamic, I watched 10 minutes then gave up I think.

A good companion movie for Seven Samurai is, of course, The Magnificent Seven

Also, another good Brit flick is Gangster #1

One that just popped into my head, but has probably been seen by many is Se7en (David Fincher)

Constantine is awesomely bad. If you love Keanu Reeves bad, then it will satisfy you.
