What movie should I see on my day off?

[tigereye]

there are so many choices...



whoops, forgot other...

[edbermac]

1. Coen Bros fan so A Serious Man.

[tigereye]

3. I just realized Pirate Radio is a really good option...

I suspect I can see the Coen Bros. movie later in the week!

[Arugula Latte]

12. I'm surprised A Serious Man hasn't gotten more attention.

It is another Coen Bros. masterpiece, IMO, right up there with the best of their movies.

[tigereye]

14. it just started here - but wasn't playing in the time frame I had for today

hope to see it later on...

[HERVEPA]

2. A Serious Man (though it does really help I think if you have Jewish background)

[tigereye]

4. I have many Jewish friends so I think I will get some of it...

:D

[Arugula Latte]

11. I'm a goy shiksa and I LOVED "A Serious Man."

It's right up there with "Raising Arizona" and "Fargo" with me, and that is high praise indeed.

[tigereye]

16. I used to joke that I was the skiksa, until I realized it had negative origins

quoth Wiki, "The word shiksa is derived from the Hebrew term sheketz, which means "abomination", "impure," or "object of loathing", depending on the translator."


or is that "chippie" can't remember... :D

:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

31. Well, that's pretty much dead on in my case!

:rofl:

~Arugula "Object of Loathing" Latte the Chippie

:hi:

[tigereye]

32. you are funny!

:rofl: love it.

[leeroysphitz]

5. You may want to skip Where The Wild Things Are.

It turned out to be dull and uninspired. I like the idea of Spike Jones making movies but I never seem to like the movies themselves...


ETA: don't flame me this was just my opinion.

[tigereye]

7. no worries, everyone has their own views..

a friend really liked it, so...

[HopeHoops]

6. Debbie Does Dallas

Man, that's getting old, isn't it?

[tigereye]

8. um, no.

I don't think I ever saw it back in the day, either. Would have ruined my feminist cred... :D

[HopeHoops]

13. I did (back in the day) - it is pretty stupid.

Favorite line: "We're all virgins, right?"

Come to think of it, they're all pretty stupid.

[tigereye]

17. I think Behind the Green Door was more "upscale?" as porn of the time went

:rofl:

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Would smart porn be scary? Would it hurt, after so many years of dumb porn?

[HopeHoops]

21. Actually, there was one that was pretty decent. "A Scent of Heather" I believe.

Shit, that was a long time ago.

[tigereye]

24. hmm what are some examples?

although I don't want to get my innocuous thread locked. :rofl: I guess I like smart erotica better...

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. Probably just "Cafe Flesh", beloved by the Gonzo Journalist.

Not that I'm a porn connoisseur :rofl:

[Brigid]

9. I went with "Men Who Stare At Goats."

Can't go too far wrong with a George Clooney movie. :loveya:

[tigereye]

18. yeah, I opted for PIrate Radio since it was playing earlier

Men Who Stare looks really interesting, though.

[Call Me Wesley]

22. How could you not chose 'Men Who Stare At Goats?'

;)

[tigereye]

23. I had to pick up the kid by a certain time today and i was more in the mood

for rock and roll. I do plan to see Stare at Goats later on!

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Can't wait until it's out on DVD. ;)

But okay, pirate radios are fine in my book. My dad and a few did run one in the 80's. The DJ was a huge ELO fan, though. ;) Fun times, until they got caught and our house searched. Reminder: Do not pout the sending equipment under a bed. They look there, first. :rofl:

[tigereye]

33. hah, love that they hid it under the bed!

Guessing the German govt not too understanding about that sort of thing?


When I was in college, people used to pirate broadcast around the university...

[Captain Hilts]

10. The bios: TheKeats film - it's beautifully filmed - or the LeBron James one, which is supposed to be

very interesting.

[kentauros]

15. I didn't know there was a pirate radio movie.

I'd love to see that. Is it about Radio Caroline?

[tigereye]

20. here's a review - I liked it better than the reviewer did - it's worth it just for

the music and the spirit of it!

http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/2009/11/13/f-pirate-radio-review.html


It was a lot of fun if you love rock and roll from the British Invasion era - great actors, too.


here's the trailer http://ontheflix.com/2009/11/12/pirate-radio-movie-trailer-looks-funnyfun-interesting/


I have to admit it did have a whiff of Mamma Mia about it ( somewhat light story - well until the end- formed around music), but the music was great fun.

[kentauros]

26. Thanks!

I like some of the music from back then and pirate stations were much like public radio here: playing all the stuff the commercial/government stations wouldn't touch.

Pirate radio broadcasting is an interesting "field". If I had the electronics background, I'd have been doing it by now

[tigereye]

27. my husband just told me the Brits had to broadcast this way until well into

the early 80s, or something. Wonder if that's what Elvis was talking about with Radio, Radio! :D


It's cool how many internet stations there are, too.

[goclark]

25. I say Precious ~ it is powerful

and shows a side of life that is rarely seen on screen.

Monique and all the actors are shining brightly in this one.

[tigereye]

28. oooh, forgot about that one - supposed to be amazing acting!

[goclark]

30. Precious proves that all the "actors" that have famous

names for parents are not equal to one Monique.
