What does "pants" mean? I get that it means "bad", but I've never heard that particular slang. Please explain.
Its a UK phrase by Teamwak	Nov 1st, 2006 10:05:21 AM
You know, underpants. As in Napolian Dynamite was sweaty, skid-marked infested, week old underpants. Heder hasnt done anything funny since, I dont think. And isnt he a Scientologist as well? Thats some serious sweaty pants is that bunch of alien ghost loving wierdos
No TRIAD ELECTION ? by chans	Nov 1st, 2006 10:39:32 AM

Toronto Films Playing in L.A. by Garbageman33	Nov 1st, 2006 11:20:48 AM
Blindsight was wonderful. As was The Lives of Others, Time and, of course, Pan's Labyrinth. But Blindsight was my favorite.
I also heard good things about Ten Canoes by Garbageman33	Nov 1st, 2006 11:23:10 AM
Cashback and The Art of Crying are supposed to be crap, though.
Oh come ON, Moriarty... by TopHat	Nov 1st, 2006 01:30:22 PM
...go into more detail about TV JUNKIE. Unless it ends up on the Independent Film or Sundance channels, I'm never going to see it. I can understand not giving details about mainstream work that's more available to the public, but with these kinds of films you have to go into more detail! Especially with the way you set up the movie in your article; "TV JUNKIE is probably the toughest sit I’ve had so far out of all the films I’ve seen from this festival" , "and there are moments here where I just wanted to knock the camera out of his hand and shake him." , "but be warned... this is a rough ride." Jesus Christ, man. "I don't want to spoil it for you" only goes so far.
my girlfriend's father got us tons of tickets for this by beamish13	Nov 1st, 2006 02:00:35 PM
I can't wait to see "Bobby", "The Host", "Pan's Labyrinth" (which replaced a film about a documentary on a woman that was suposedly gang-raped by MGM execs during the 1930's due to legal problems), "The History Boys", and "Come Early Morning". I wish I had the time to catch "The Last Wave", "Secaucus 7", or that Orson Welles documentary.
oooh by beamish13	Nov 1st, 2006 02:01:29 PM
damn near forgot about "Election" and "Triad Election". The Egyptian had a big To retrospective that I missed out on, unfortunately...
Jon Heder is not a scientologist... by Valebant	Nov 1st, 2006 02:46:28 PM
He is a Mormon. http://www.snopes.com/movies/a ctors/heder.asp
Standing in for a victim by Jesus Maniloff	Nov 1st, 2006 11:40:48 PM
God knows how they gonna translate it this time - Playing a victim, Imitating a victim - something like that, but you should check out the recent winner of the Roma Film Festival. It's a rather artsy-bizarre Russian flick by a very hip Russian theatre director based on a very hip play about a guy who makes a living by playing murder victims in police crime scene reconstructions. So he is being strangled in a porta potty or drowned in a pool by the actual confessed murderers (whose confessions are being taped for the trials) all the way thinking about his father's untimely death and whether his mom's screwing his brother had anything to do with it... Quite cool movie actually.
Scandalous to see Molly Parker in a bikini? by JackRabbitSlim	Nov 2nd, 2006 12:28:52 AM
Check out the otherwise atrocious "Center of the World" - she's a naughty little girl.
Moriarty is way too kind on 2:37. One of the worst.... by The Wrong Guy	Nov 2nd, 2006 04:37:20 AM
...film experiences I've ever had.
JackRabbitSlim And TheWrongGuy by TheRealMoriarty	Nov 2nd, 2006 04:42:10 AM
Oh, I've seen CENTER OF THE WORLD, all right. It's just that after seeing her all prim and proper for the last few years, always dressed in layers and layers of bustles and dresses and frilly what-have-yous, it's a bit of a shock to the system to see her pretty much stripped down again. And, WrongGuy, I didn't think 2:37 was anywhere near the worst film ever. It's got problems, but it's also got some nice performance work, and I think it gets closer to the way kids feel like every single event in high school is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER than a lot of films do. And did I mention all the cute Australian girls?
Molly Parker hot? by Sakla	Nov 2nd, 2006 12:56:58 PM
er...I so disagree. She is not a dog but she is so not physically attractive.
I'd love to see THE LAST WAVE by WONKABAR	Nov 4th, 2006 02:13:29 PM
It's ben a really long time since I saw it, but I've never forgotten it. I keep meaning to buy/rent it, but seeing on a bigger screen could be very interesting.
Who says "Pants" has to be a negative? by Novaman5000	Nov 6th, 2006 04:58:18 PM
I think it sounds like a positive.
