Ryan thinks you should all get some GOOD DICK!
Hey folks, Harry here... Couldn't resist putting this one up - if nothing else for the excuse to write the above title. Just felt right, ya know? Anyway, don't know about the film - but it certainly won Ryan over.... Here, see for yourself...
Harry,
Ryan here. Long time reader/site visitor.
I recently took part in the 2009 Salem Film Festival. I was lucky enough to see a movie called Good Dick.... yeah, bear with me.
It was made in 2008. Written and directed by actress Marianna Palka, produced by her and her boyfriend (Jason Ritter, John Ritter's son) and produced by the both of them for $200,000. I was even luckier to watch it with the both of them.
I have to point out my favorite thing about the whole movie - It doesn't feel like a new movie. It feels like it was plucked straight out of the 90's indy film movement. After watching it, I felt the same as after I watched Chasing Amy for the first time - that I had just viewed something truly special. A very original romantic movie with quirky characters that can be enjoyed by both women and the husbands/boyfriends that they dragged along with them.
Marianna plays a shut-in daughter of a rich guy. She doesn't pay her bills, or anything - everything is taken care of by daddy. She only leaves her apartment to rent armloads of porn from a video store called CineFile. Jason plays a clerk at said store who falls in love with her instantly. He tries to talk to her, but she blankly stares at him. So he does something about it. He writes down her address and goes to her apartment where they meet and after a short time he eventually moves into her apartment (out of his car). Even then, there is no sex, no touching, no kissing, no NOTHING. She ignores him. He gently pushes her to break free of her fear of society and anything sexual until things fall apart and she must get her shit together on her own and face the skeletons of her childhood closet.
The movie is available for $20 on the website GoodDick and all $20 of that goes to Jason and Marianna.
You must see this movie Harry. This is the kind of movie that no movie lover should miss.
I will be purchasing a copy soon. If you like, I will send you a copy as well. I know that if you like it and write about it then this movie will be seen by more movie lovers and it certainly deserves that.
Take care.

So anyone whose friend makes a movie gets posted here now?

Boy gee, if it "certainly won Ryan over" than I have to run out and see it!
-
Well, no...it was made by John Ritter's son. Y'know, John Ritter? Three's Company? Famous actor?
-
I'd run screaming from that psycho bitch in real life. In general, people are far worse than the public image they portray, so if that's the one she's showing, she's fucking off her rocker and would probably cut your dick off in your sleep.
-
Someone should drop an anvil on Joe Swanberg’s head.
-
but she's definitely "stay away" material. I don't see much romance in this.
-
In a few years, alright! So, save your Roman Polanski remarks. I just saw a recent pic of her, and I just happened to make the observation that she is on her way to being a lovely young woman. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this message in a talkback with the term 'GOOD DICK' in the title.
-
Or how about 'Evil Anal Wart', or 'Luke Warm Semen?' Cool names, huh? now, go fuck yourself.
-
Since the budget is so impressively low, does that mean that I get to pay less for my ticket?
-
people piss and moan constantly about the number of remakes/prequels/sequels/reimaginings that Hollywood craps out, then piss and moan about an original movie.
-
Perhaps the most truthful statement ever made on this site.
-
Fun with Dick and Jane was another stupid title. I mean I like filthy things myself, but we should have some standards like for what kids see and hear out in the public. I just saw a show called property vigins. Property virgins? It just makes me a little uncomfortable that we have like zero standards anymore.
-
....SUPERB CLIT !!!

...you got to love our priorities in america, the library is open 3 hours a week and the fuck shop is open 24/7.

Starring Judge Reinhold.
-
Pretty Awesome. Seems like we were ahead of the Anvil! curve because of it. Hope Salem Cinema does it again next year...
-
Heh, my comment still applies.
Anvil! -

RON JEREMY'S TAINT THE MOTION PICTURE IN 3D!!!
by returnofthecreepythinman
DIRECTED BY JAMES CAMERON WITH A 300 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET!!!STEVEN SODERBERGH SAYS HOLY SHIT!!!
-
Good Taint
-
You'll provide AICN with a free copy of the film so they'll give it publicity? Gee, I wonder if this guy is in any way connected to the producers.
-
I will watch this movie, but I HOPE it is not a short film. $20 is a lot of cash.
-
He's saying that Ryan is friends with (or is) one of the producers.
-
...that came up with this one?
-
No, I'm not --- I wish though...
I just started my filmmaking career - that's how I was a part of the Salem Film Festival. My film was a short film and then the feature-length films played the next week.
-
After watching this movie I was kind of nervous to meet her after the Q&A, but she is actually very, very nice.
-
I was just talking about the characters in the film. If I was that guy, I wouldn't get near that crazy bitch if my life depended on it. Yeah, she might be do-able now, but imagine her in 20 years with saggy tits, wrinkles and twice as many neuroses.
-
My real name is Ryan. That's why I said that, haha! So you think its me, so funny.
-
AICN: Where any piece of shit get's a story written after it provided Harry can come up with a retarded headline.
-
You heard it here first!
-
I misunderstood.
-
You got me. My real name is Tony Stark.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
*sigh* Next we'll get some Hyman jokes...oh wait.

"It feels like it was plucked straight out of the 90's indy film movement." Stopped reading right there. No thank you. No fucking thank you.
-
This screams vanity project. Ritter was so appealing in "The Class," but his character is just sad and creepy in this movie.
-
A Double Penitration Feature.
-
...rammed up my Stargate sounds spot on.
-
...Werner Hertzog has announced he will be shooting "Benevolent Penis" this summer with Nicholas Cage as "The Dick".
-
CineFile on Santa Monica Blvd in L.A., right near the 405 overpass and not far from the Santa Monica city line. There's a cool little cinema not far from it too. I hear CineFile is a great store but I rarely patronized it since I lived in east Hollywood which as everyone knows is about a freaking HOUR from that part of the city during rush hour. I once spent 2 hours driving from Hollywood to the Santa Monica pier. Not fun.
-
The idiotic music that starts when you enter the site plays OVER the damn trailer when you launch the trailer thus obscuring most of the dialogue.
-
They said at the Q&A that they had the premier at that cinema (which is next door, I believe).
The actors all worked there for free. Looks like a cool little store. -
It works fine for me... only plays once when I go to the site.... weird.
-
Meets BAD TWAT !!!
-
that one was a stretch

"I once had a threesome... and not the cool kind!" -The Todd
-
"It doesn't feel like a new movie. It feels like it was plucked straight out of the 90's indy film movement." I'm not the first person to say this but it's important to underline that this is NOT a good thing.
-
Does that mean the actors and crew got totally screwed and get NOTHING? 'Cause it sure sounds like it.
-
That big button at the bottom that says "Sound ON/OFF" . . . try it.
-
The actors got paid. That was what the $200,000 was for - renting equipment, permits and paying the actors.
The $20 goes to Jason and Marianna because they, as producers, have to send the money to the production company to gain the money back.
If it's purchased by other means, than they only get half and the distributer gets half. -
Clerks., Chasing Amy, Reservoir Dogs, Slacker, Pulp Fiction, Swingers, Trainspotting, The Usual Suspects, sex, lies and videotape...... You're right... DEFINITELY a bad thing..... I forget.... How many awards did those movies win and influenced future filmmakers? Please tell me because my memory is a bit rusty.
