Watched back to back, Reservoir Dogs then Dusk 'till Dawn. Natural Born Killer's is in my instant Queue. If I had also watched that I think I would have overloaded on violence. Tarantino is the definition of what divides Genius from One Crazey F.

I'll agree with you on the fact that Tarantino is a crazy f. But he was only responsible for the first half of Dusk til Dawn (Rodrigez did the other half). Also, Natural Born Killers was an over the top explotation of how media glorifies violence by Oliver Stone. It's a VERY sick movie, one of his better ones in MHO...
Robert Downey Jr is hilarious in it.

Yup, directed by Stone original screenplay was by Tarantino.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Tarantino

The second script that Tarantino sold was Natural Born Killers, which was revised by Dave Veloz, Richard Rutowski and director Oliver Stone. Tarantino was given story credit, and wished the film well.

The film is based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was heavily revised by Stone with writer Dave Veloz and associate producer Richard Rutowski. Notorious for its violent content, the film was named the eighth most controversial movie of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2006.

Sounds about right. You just feel beat up and dirty after experiencing that movie. Hope you're not suseptible to epilepsy with all the flashy edits in it too...

I bought it cheap on Blu Ray, I think I need a spotter to watch it...

Fav line of the movie is from Tommy Lee Jones (the Warden): "Well jesus christ on rubber crutch!"

I love the Steve Buscemi "Mister Pink" "I don't tip" scene.


I still remember the first time I saw From Dusk 'til Dawn. I had no clue what was going to happen. It's one of the few times I've been halfway through a movie and gone "Holy sh*t!".

Some guy having dinner locally called himself the "mayor of Killington". The bar tender/waiter called him an Asshole and cheap bastard. Bought the special, water and NO TIP. I would ban him from the restaurant.

Ski Porn review:

Chalet Girl is on Netflix streaming video. Cute Brit ex-skateboarder becomes a boarder chick in the Austrian Alps. Felicity Jones is cute and does a good job. The stunt double for Felicity Jones does a pretty good job with the on-snow scenes. Bill Nighy plays the rich Brit father chalet owner so there's actually a real actor. Brooke Shields has a bit part as his bitch of a wife. The movie is all cliches but it's watchable enough if you're yearning for snow in August.

Just finished watching the movie and like you said, not too bad for August. Next another episode of Sons of Anarchy.

Just put on "Face Off" Cage Travolta. The intro to the movie is "typical to the type". Sit back turn off brain......enjoy.

Face Off creeped me out in spite of the fact that Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies.

I'm behind the curve but catching up with Mad Men. Freakin' awesome. The attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I have a crush on Don Draper I spite of the fact that he's not a nice man.

In the realm of funny/stupid sports movies...check,out H2O Extreme. It's the companion to Aspen Extreme. So many stupid quotes, so little time.... ; )

Killer Joe directed by Friedkin (Exorcist) and starring Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch and Juno Temple.

All I can say is, holy smokes! Had to be one of the most disturbing and uncomfortable movies I've ever seen. You will never look at K Fried C the same way again. I'm not a huge fan of MM, but it's probably the performance of his life. Not for the faint at heart...

I am a good tipper.

Here's a tip for you. Don't put a screen door on a submarine. Want a few more?

Don't tug on Superman's cape
Don't spit into the wind
Don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And don't mess around with Jim
