What I watched this weekend

Johnny Got His Gun
Meet The Feebles
Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle
The Abominble Dr. Phibes
Ringu

I finally got to see Johnny Got His Gun! And oh man it is great!

Harold and Kumar was terrible.

Meet The Feebles was...strange. I missed the ending for a fantasy baseball draft...

Ringu was good enough that I never want to see the American version.

The Abominble Dr. Phibes is campy 70's horror, I knew that going in, and it did not disappoint.

Johnny Got His Gun is the only one of these movies that left me feeling anything. Ringu was good too, but didn't punch you in the face like JGHG.

Man, you just made me lose a little respect for you.

You've basically seen both. The American version was about the same down to the very camera angles for certain key scenes. There were only minor changes to the story.

(supposed stoner movie) - (fun stoner movie shit (ok, Doogie Howser was cool)) + (ignorance of New Jersey (not even the biggest stoner would go from Hoboken to Cherry Hill for some fucking White Castle!)) = crappy movie.

Ringu the Japanese version was a lot different if I remember correctly. And it sucked.

I watched the season (maybe series) finale of Carnivale - they need to film a third season!

drusilla · 03-28-2005, 05:24 AM

i'm not even close to being a stoner & i thought harold & kumar was fantastic.

might be one of the funniest movies ever.

Keyser Soze · 03-28-2005, 01:30 PM

if they had wound up at the white castle in jersey city at the end, i would have enjoyed it much more.

Galt · 03-28-2005, 04:14 PM

I thought it was a funfilled jaunt with madcap antics

Tequila · 03-28-2005, 05:11 PM

The Incredibles - One of the funniest 2 hour cartoons ever. Watched it with my kids and just enjoyed the movie.

in all my journeys to & from philly i don't remember ever seeing a white castle in cherry hill

Like Nirvana and Clerks, I feel like everyone in the world is pretending to like White Castle just to fuck with me.

drusilla · 03-29-2005, 07:46 AM

you found us out. we're all against you.

crx girl · 03-29-2005, 05:12 PM

nobody really likes white castle. it's just something that you get an uncontrollable urge to eat on occasion.

i watched the jacket yesterday. the sound was kinda fucked up so i missed some of the conversations and we couldn't back it up, but i thought it was kinda silly.

Tequila · 03-29-2005, 05:15 PM

I eat White Castle all the time. Its great when you need to clean your body. 1 sack of cheeseburgers and you are nice and clean on the inside.

diceisgod · 03-29-2005, 05:44 PM

I watched Manufacturing Consent. Best documentary ever.

Gooch · 03-29-2005, 05:52 PM

That is a great documentary. Noam Chomsky is the shizznit.

i watched....crap. Con Air...awful. Shade with Jamie Foxx, Sylvester Stallone and Stuart Townsend (about Poker)....crappy.

Galt · 03-29-2005, 06:59 PM

I watched parts of Rocky-RockyV (yes, even Rocky V) on about 10 separate occasions on AMC

HedCold · 03-29-2005, 08:39 PM

i had to watch rocky V with a couple of kids from school a few weeks ago, and they were getting all into it and saying how great it was. i can't look at them the same way anymore.
if i walked in on them having sex i wouldn't feel as weird around them as i do now
