Saw this delightful little gem over on one of the other threads.

you realize that 99.9% of all shows and movies that are widescreen were filmed in open matte 1.33 - so in reality we are seeing less of a movie when it is widescreen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 99.9% sure this poster is a little underinformed.

But like Beta, I do own Fight Club on dvd, but that was a blind buy a long time ago, and watched it twice. Still I feel it's just all hype.

But didn't most of the Fight Club hype get the point of the movie completely wrong?

Fight Club is awful. One of the most annoying films I've ever seen. Zodiac? Now thats a good film.

Fight Club is great. One of the most interesting films I've ever seen. Zodiac? Now that's a good film as well but a bit slow at times.

Agreed. Plus, the ending just didn't work, at least not the film. It's just too unbelievable and, when you think about it, pretty silly. I can see it working in the book better since you don't have the retarded visuals of

Picked up "Bicycle Thieves," "Sansho the Bailiff," and "Throne of Blood."

Too bad not many people have seen it, because it was definitely the funniest and most creative film of last year for me.

I just watched this on Netflix Instant watch last night and loved it. I quickly went online hoping to see a Bluray release but alas only DVD. It's something not everyone will like and it probably could of been cut a bit but I still loved it. Just the voice of Horse makes me smile.

Be sure to let us know when dinner is, too, and what you're having.

Dinner is served at 9:00 PM (had to help a buddy with a modem/router issue) and my personal chef is making turkey burgers!

YUMMY...YUMMY

PS...I don't use Twitter!

In regards to "Revanche," I have read several posts by those that have seen the movie, that the English subtitles are grammatically lacking. How accurate is that statement and if true, was it a distraction in viewing the film?

Hey...I've been trying to get a rental copy of Red Desert, but NetFlix queue is going from short wait to very long wait...might have to make this a blind buy.

My pleasure!

Unfortunately, I just got back from helping a buddy with a network issue and swallowed dinner, so I don't know if I'll be able to watch it tonight.

The movie is satirical.

Good job, rkish. Don't keep it up too long, though, cause you might scare away some of the other users.

I'll put my face up as soon as I get back on my computer.
