What DVDs do you have coming our way?

My Queue has grown exponentially in the past week. Once I get my current batch out of the way, I’ll be watching Snatch, Unbreakable, Friday the 13th: Part 3, Futurama the Movie: Bender’s Big Score, and Shutter. My Queue, aside from the liberal sprinkling of horror movies, is pretty hodge-podge.

P.S. If you don’t have a Netflix account, then what movies do you plan on checking out?

YAY!  I can totally be apart of this now.

The three movies that should be at my door today are Badlands, Rocket Science and Love in the Time of Cholera.

The first film is great, but I can’t speak on the other two just yet (or maybe ever, as they don’t seem that interesting to me).

I’ve got Lake of Fire (Tony Kaye’s exhaustive abortion documentary) and the first disc of the 4th season of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer coming in today.  I should have Hawk the Slayer and some more Buffy on the way this weekend too.

Yeah, the last two films both had one thing in common, which is why they made the queue: I haven’t seen them before.

Hawk the Slayer is so 80’s Sword and Sorcery good. To think I missed an opportunity to ask Jack Palance about his experience filming it when I had breakfast with him years ago.

Crow the Burnt Elf is a bow firing machine. Eat that Legalos.

Those arrow firing scenes are the smurfin best!

Ah! I’ve been wanting to see Badlands for awhile now, but since I dropped netflix I haven’t been able to find it.

Let’s not forget the repeating crossbow. Muy sexy.

Did the ShowShow gang lose their cells? You guys are posting like this was a sandbox. :P

We use the message boards with our iPhones to save money on text messaging.  It’s the snobbiest way to save money that I know of.

Also, I just realized that I’m an administrator now.  Who’d a thunk it?

It’s the iPhone thing and the fact that I have a job the requires I sit at a computer all day. So there, put that in your sandbox ya big jerk!

Poors sand in Katie’s hair.

Ha ha poo face you’re a doodie sand head!

Deeps and I share a queue. I’ve neglected it for a while and wow - it is full of stuff he wants to watch that I might only have a passing interest in seeing.

The problem we have is that while we have two DVD players we only have the one swanky TV so nobody wants to watch the “bad TV.”  Plus I’m obsessed with playing cooperative video games, so there isn’t as much time for movies.

Because turnover in the queue can sometimes stall out we’ll watch stuff that nobody remembers selecting then accuse the other of picking something awful.

I just borrowed Where the Buffalo Roam and King of the Ants from Katie. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

King of the Ants had some fun moments.

I just added Street Trash, along with a bunch of 80’s creature features and whatnot.

Erin and I just watched After The Thin Man last night.  I love Nick, Nora and Asta at this point, but fear that the addition of a baby into the series might seriously cut down on their casual boozing and late night crime solving.  We’re going to watch the next movie tonight, so I guess I’ll know soon enough.

I watched Lake of Fire over the course of two nights.  For those of you that don’t know, that’s the abortion documentary.  It’s a two and a half hour long film, shot completely in black & white and it is, as you might have guessed, pretty harrowing.  I loved it, but it’s not a film that I’d recommend.  Despite being remarkably even handed in its approach to the subject, it’s still incredibly graphic and that might be upsetting to a lot of people.  In particular, the last half hour of the film follows a woman through virtually every step of the abortion process and stays with her as she considers the aftermath of her decision.  If that doesn’t sound like something you’d be interested in seeing, then definitely don’t (I’m pro-choice and it upset the hell out of me).  If you think you can handle it, then you’re in for an amazing experience.  The sub-plot the follows the assassination of abortion doctors across the country is fascinating enough to make this film worth seeing at least once, not to mention the continual back and forth dialogue that takes place between both sides at various rallies.  And NOAM CHOMSKY is in it!  You can’t beat that.

Currently lined up in the queue…
Hawk: The Slayer
Fade To Black
Buffy: Season 4 (discs 2 & 3)
and Violent City, which is supposedly an Itallian remake of the Jean Pierre Melville film, Le Samourai (which I highly recommend).  The film stars Charles Bronson, so I’m fairly excited.
