CG, are you a fan of, or have you seen, John Cameron Mitchell's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"? I've been a big fan of it since its DVD release, but I would've loved to seen some of the original live showings in the New York drag clubs.

No I haven't but it sounds f'n awesome when I looked it up. People think when you watch stuff like this or Paul Morrissey's Trash, Flesh, Heat, or Women in Revolt you might be gay or something. Society is stupid. It's just that we know the real world and this exist out there. And for the record, I love the ladies.

Also that band Flaw, but I don't listen to them so can't tell you much. I thought they broke up and got back together.

We also have the best rental store in America: Wild and Woolly Video

Has every Art House and B-movie you can think of. Blockbuster who?

I like CG's debates because he never resorts to hyperbole or straw men.

What?

However, if you haven't seen it, I would strongly, strongly recommend Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It is one of those movies I've seen more than 5 times and it just seems to get better and better. In fact, I watched it again just a couple days ago.

It is on my super short list of movies for BD release, that is for sure.

It is a pity how much I loathed JCM's follow up film, Shortbus though. Does anyone know if he is working on something new? Hedwig is too good a first feature to be a fluke.

Thank you sir. I try not to bash other people's opinions, I just like to say what my opinions are, alot.

So got 2 people who likes this film. Have to try to get it soon.

I saw he is working on something called Rabbit Hole with Nicole "what happened, she use to be so hot" Kidman.

Have you ever watched the documentary on the DVD? It's just as long, if not longer, than the actual film and I'm sure I've seen it as many times as the main film. I think it's a superbly made and exhaustive documentary that really provides the viewer insight into how everything came to be. I went out and bought the soundtrack the day after I saw the movie, too. For me, the film is such a great packaging of material.

Any blu-ray release, I'm sure, would have no thought or care put into it. It was a New Line Cinema/Fine Line Features release, which is owned by Warner Brothers now so I don't expect too much if it ever happens.

nice cover. Why hasn't Criterion put a naked chick on a cover (shut up Salo fans.)? With this question, it's the first Criterion related thing for 4-5 pages. lol.

I'm glad we can keep off-topic things in this thread, because we are more of a cult and not the everyday person comes in here anyways. If so, it would be weird to come in this thread for the first time looking at drags and commies.

Beta Man · 06-30-2010, 03:30 AM

What in the Wide World Of Sports is a goin' on here????!!!!!!!

I leave you guys for a little bit, and it's all politics, sexual orientation and race (people from Kentucky are a different race right????

)

Don't bring the heat down on this thread....... it's been going so well lately..... heck, even CG's jilted lovers have come back for more

When his father tells him over the phone how many people in the room are proud of his son and that he is one of them, I cry like a child. It really is a one of the best dvd extras I've ever encountered.

Ahh man, now I feel bad, because I was going for playfully sarcastic.

Oh well. See Hedwig anyway.

Speaking of..... I'm at a mix of giddy anticipation, and terror regarding the upcoming "mid-July" sale who's name I will not speak........

On second thought.... I've saved about about dozen of the "Work From Home" emails from my in-box, so if I reply to them all, I should be making about 30-Grand a week in no time........ so what am I worried about

SpiderBaby · 06-30-2010, 04:05 AM

Yeah, as much as I have loved another B&N sale for a while now, I am not ready $-wise, so I'll prob not get as much stuff as I wanted.
