I'm pretty sure that one of my friends would strongly recommend an old Brit comedy called "Nuns on the Run" ... No, I've never seen it, but when we talk movies, he always brings that up. Always.
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

well it got pretty bad reviews. but it was #1 at the box office. i dunno, i think it looks pretty dumb myself. i think that the original exorcist was enough and it's strong enough to stand on its own

I heard it was terrible- but that was just from Drew and Mike on the WRIF- but they're usually right.

^ I wanna see that.

Last movie I saw was Ghost World (for the second time). Great movie. :nod:

Also, how disturbing is A Clockwork Orange? I'm interested in seeing it, but people say it's unbelievably disturbing. I'm usually pretty good with things like that and I'm curious.

Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.

I went with low expectations. But it turned out to have its moments, and it was quite funny.

Oh and is it just me or did anyone else think Harold was hot?

well the violence and such is real disturbing. after this one scene w/ the husband and wife near the beginning, i had to stop watching cause it was just like wtf just happened there? but then you're still curious to watch. it has this way of drawing you in. it ended up being pretty good but it can get a bit queasy. i had to walk away a couple of times to collect myself but it was worth it in the end. i say go watch it

Not a movie to watch with the parents. A lot of nudity, violence and inapropriateness. Still a great movie. :nod:

I suggest you read the book first/as well. Very good. :nod:

Ah, thanks. I actually asked my mum about it a little while ago and she said she'd seen it and went on about how disturbing it was. She didn't specifically say not to watch it, but sort of hinted at it. I'm sure I'll see it eventually, and I'll add it to my ever-expanding list of books to read.

I'm watching it again right now, thanks to this conversation. Good movie. Kubrick is pretty sex-obsessed, though. A lot of strange imagery.

It's actually not that bad.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever
