The Moving Pictures...

Unfortunately, this is NOT about a Rush tribute band.

MOVIES!

Got my hands on a Criterion copy of Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages



Also snagged a copy of Dark Waters.




...A few things I watched this past week.


Most previews and synopsis I have read for this documentary do not do it justice. (Hah.)
I begins by shedding light on the "frivolous lawsuit" epidemic in the 90's and the media spin/misinformation surrounding them.

About one third of the way through it shifts focus onto the corruption/corrosion of the judiciary system. Some pretty tip-of-the-iceberg shit, but interesting stuff.



An Unreasonable Man

Dr. Brazil told me about a section from this movie where Nader gets shut out from attending a presidential debate as an audience members.

The movie is totally worthwhile. Learn about how much this dude has done, and been shit-on nonstop for most, if not all of it.





Tabloid

Hooooollleeeeeyyy Shit. This woman was/is fucking nuts.





STAY AWAY FROM THIS PILE-O-SHIT.


What a miserable heap this was. I'm not quite sure why I subjected myself this brain-rape bullshit excuse for a "comedy."

Maybe it's because I still hold out a little hope for the Farrelly Brothers who have made some pretty great shit.

Example:



...Or maybe it's because I have a soft spot for Jason Sudeikis...

I dunno man...

Where was I? Oh yeah. Fuck Hall Pass I what I was saying.

  1. I don't know what The Criterion Collection is, but TCM just happened to play Haxan the morning after you posted this. I just started it, but it seems pretty neat.
