Psychedelic files his second, rather NC-17, report from CINEVEGAS!
Hey folks, Harry here - If you don't like lewd description, just skip to "The Beat" and skip this first paragraph as Psychedelic let his... libido flop about a bit, but I don't censor, I just warn. HOWEVER, there's some damn good material here to pour over, so check it out!
Hello, hello, AICNers
The Acid kicked in while I was fucking this girl last night. The lips of her pussy grew up my shaft and enveloped my nut sack. The squishy sucking blew my mind to new levels. My sore groin throbbed as my eyeballs floated up to the screen at the 2003 Cinevegas film festival.
Maybe I’ve been doing too much. Nah.
The Beat
I can’t help but react to such vibrant and alive language. The story, about a young rapper distraught over his brother’s murder and the hard street back to the stage, is by the numbers. Sub-plot about him being a police officer felt forced. However, director Brandon Sonnier captures naturalistic and uncoerced performances. Then there’s the rap. The intelligent, playful, emotional, about-real-things rap—primarily by star Rahman Jamaal—puts mainstream Eminem-let-me-show-you-how-big-my-juvenile-dick-is rap to shame. It’s the difference between do-wop groups and Bob Dylan.
The Dance
Full disclosure: I unavoidably missed about the first 20 min., but liked it enough to mention. Moving documentary about Billy Roth, a man who every Sunday goes into a Louisiana prison to coach boxing to inmates. It follows four of Billy’s success stories, including one who fought Tyson. Beautiful cinematography has maybe a few too many slow motion shots. The four stories are a little redundant, but that only emphasizes the difference and hope Billy Roth has brought to their lives. So touching is director John Darling Haynes’ work that Hollywood is interested in making it into a feature.
Animal Charm: Wet and Wreckless
This is not a movie in a traditional sense. Animal Charm are Richard Bott and Jim Fetterly. Hailing from Los Angeles, they bend, twist, and warp corporate videos, video art, wacky home movies, and any other obscure material they can grab. They might go to Mars for some of it. Then in a live performance they mix the videos with just as freaky music/sounds. This is quite original, unique, and cool. I saw both performances. The first was very funny. The second started funny, then became hypnotic and trance-like. They are well worth checking out in L.A. All I can say is: wow-wow-wow-wow (inside joke).
Shorts
I saw many shorts here. These are excellent to good ones listed with director names. The bottom four are okay. Three of them, though shown separately, are counted as one.

Strange & Charmed—Shari Frilot
Out of Our Hands—Cheryl Slean
Kid Bang—Kiran Ramchandran
Daddy Cool
Brady Lewis’ first feature length film is a stylistic combination of Terrence Malick, Kubrick, Jim Jarmusch, and David Lynch.
I resist using such prominent names for fear I’ll build expectation levels too high. But what else can you do when you see a film by an almost unheard of mature talent?
It’s one of those flicks you follow intuitively through your brain neurons with your guts guiding (e.g. Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Waking Life). Not everyone will get it, but those who do will have a wonderful gem. Each shot is like a stone polished with care. Affection for movies is ever-present. An offbeat smoldering sense of humor prevails with an honest view of the human condition.
A woman and her therapist develop a unique relationship. She can read thoughts and make creatures and people do things with her special “television” which regularly shows old broadcasts of her eccentric father. The therapist has his own secret life that involves the supernatural. There’s a lot more, trust me.
Quoting the Cinevegas program guide, “Brady Lewis has made more than a dozen short 16mm films…He teaches film production at Pittsburgh Filmmakers where he is the director of a large film school.”
Daddy Cool is a singular and special film.
Klepto
This movie is smokin’, jammin’, rockin’. I was giddy with excitement watching. It is P.T. Anderson bravura, Wes Anderson hip, and maybe even Tarantino cool. I know I’m using big names again, but I feel justified. A foxy shoplifter (Meredith Bishop) attracts the attention of a security chief at a department store who has money problems (Jsu Garcia). They get entangled in crime and sizzling impulses as the cinematic sparks fly. Narrative tensions and releases are pitch perfect. Shot compositions make eyes pop across the screen. I was completely jazzed at the end.
Wake up! Director Thomas Trail is here.
I saw 26 features, 31 shorts, and 2 live music/video performances in 9 days. My reports are highlights.
Hunter S. Thompson gave me a nod at the final screening as I downed my last hit. Everything shimmers. Tomorrow I go into the desert to commune with Jim Morrison.

Harry is lying. He does censor, and quite regularly, as any of the hundreds of Talkbackers who have had their posts deleted and accounts banned can attest to. In a few hours this post will probably be gone because Harry "doesn't censor." What a joke. I don't even care anymore because this article is proof of just how far downhill this site has gone. Unbelievable. By the way: despite Harry's glowing review, the Hulk sucked big-time. And this is coming from a major comics fan from way back. Looks like Harry got more "pwesents" from Avi Arad. What a sad joke.

Super fucking cool...right?

How does PumpMcAss know I spend my time plotting the assasination of government officials and wanking over Avengers re-runs? Dammit. Even in my festering bedsit They watch me. Will they never let me be? Please, please can't someone make the voices stop?

When you're on acid. If it takes a hit or three of LSD to make this movie worth while, I'll pass.

you make me laugh when you moan about being deleted by Harry. As if he sits and reads all the talkbacks as they come in. it's obvious that he has some poor syncophatic lackeys reading and deleting whenever they see something Harry MIGHT not like.Harry writes the shit(maybe, who knows if he ever even looks at this site anymore, it doesn't feel like it)and pisses off to be buggered by Avi. Got it

While watching The Hulk, I leaned over to the guy in front of me and whispered "Poo poo" in his ear. "But I'm not leaving," I continued, "I want Hulk!" Apparently he is not a fan of this site.

Harry;
Regardless if you censor or not, that ridiculous opening doesn't have anything to do with anything. It is only there to titillate a bunch of monkeys who certainly don -
Thanks for the laugh mtoast! Harry doesn't censor, unless you have an opinion that he doesn't agree with because he is a fat bastard!

You fucken moron, If you didnt like the hulk for whatever anal reason keep it to your self, especially during the movie. If some Jackass decides to speak during a movie I paid 10 bucks to experience wether its good or bad I will kick their asses!!!

Actually, New Line didn't choose to show Gandalf's return in the trailers. The fans did. Peter Jackson had theonering.net run a poll on what the fans wanted to see in the first trailer. Gandalf's return was the big winner, and so it was added. In the site's archived polls you can look it up.

by theginger twit
But the thing is, anyone who actually does acid and screws has a different mind set to someone who just *says* they do acid and screw. Here's a tip Harry, Everynight before bed, go for a 20 minutes run... then when you get home, lift some weights. Keep it up and you too will be screwing in cinema's... then pull shit emails like Psychodelic will be swiftly placed in your 'trash' folder and you'll work to make this site a little more classy. Apart from that - FUCK this site for the way it's gone. I say that like a parent to a son!

Don't get your knickers in a twist buddy! I had my Grandpapa change my nappies right there in the theeeee-ater! Anyway, not nearly as disruptive as my non-stop masturbation marathon during 2Fast2Furious. I mean with all the hardcore homoerotic tension bubbling under in that film, who could resist? I take Harry's reviews VERY seriously. Poo Poo!
