How did you get laid in college Harry? by Redfive!	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:27:59 AM
I love Spaced too.
Spaced by Egheaumaen	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:31:38 AM
Does anyone know whether the music clearance issues got resolved? Or did some of the songs and cues have to be replaced on the U.S. release?
Redfive! by HEADGEEK	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:39:31 AM
Oddly often.
You want Robot Chicken by tomdolan04	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:39:50 AM
on Blu Ray? WHY? It's meant to be a lo-fi experience. Paying premium to see it in a super high-res isn't on my list of wants. Jennifer Love Hewitts chest is a different matter
That desk by SUPERJIM	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:42:51 AM
Sounds amazing.....Where's the review for the desk Harry? We need pics!
early 20's hewitt, she was something by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:59:16 AM
smoking, I mean the definition of smoking HOT. She couldn't act with a shit, but those breasticles made up for it. Did movies come out this week?
RE: Perfect Storm by TheLastCleric	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:23:31 AM
I actually think Perfect Storm is a terrific film that captures the essence of man vs. nature and the bizarre but admirable spirit that motivates men to risk injury and death to fish in the Grand Banks. Keep in mind that this film predates shows like The Deadliest Catch and was really one of the first widespread glimpses into a unique profession. It also has an incredibly talented cast and the effects work holds up well. Wolfgang Peterson doesn’t seem to get much respect these days but honestly, I’ve loved just about everything he’s done. However, the retail price on the Blueray version of Perfect Storm needs to come down.
Anyone else think Robot Chicken funnier than FG? by TheLastCleric	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:25:11 AM
I certainly thought the Star Wars Robot Chicken spoof was leagues funnier than Blue Harvest.
Harry by _SnakePlissken_	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:32:02 AM
Having sex with your hand isn't getting laid
Headgeek... by Finding Forrestal	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:34:50 AM
I still can't believe you prefer the vastly inferior MUMMY RETURNS to Sommers' "original."
I mean, Goldsmith's MUMMY score alone... by Finding Forrestal	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:37:52 AM
...makes it the best of the two.
BluRay jewel cases = doodoo by joe90025	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:39:42 AM
Just look at the Mummy & Batman Begins BluRay packaging. Blue and brown don't match! When Dances With Wolves, Casablanca, and Lawrence of Arabia come out on BluRay their packaging will look like crap as well.
Harry that was the worst KissotSW story ever! by half vader	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:53:07 AM
When all signs pointed toward the poetic finale being that she was a MAN, baby. Blindfolded and the best hotdog ever huh? And you should seriously know better about Mummy 2. If you recall it wasn't ILM's fault that the Rock was so laughably videogame bad. Blame the bright fucking spark of a suit that decreed it HAD to be released on the exact anniversary of the first one. ILMers knew full well there wasn't enough time, and I'll defend them on this particular one 'til kingdom come. As I recall the balloon was a solid mass too, no physics for looking like it was properly inflated etc. That's just from memory though. Both films are pretty damn shitty though. Just don't blame ILM for those particular effects.
id be thinking the exact same thing in that stiuation.... by Obscura	Jul 22nd, 2008 04:56:15 AM
once had a very similar situation where i couldnt stop thinking "what kind of girl has a dvd collection that ONLY consists of disney films and American Pie?"
"Oddly enough, I wasn’t a fan of the film." by Windowlicker74	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:02:56 AM
No Harry, that's not odd; it's a bad movie..suprise! Paying a set visit doesn't make it a good movie..sad but true. I'm glad to hear it's your first working day out of bed, anyway, it's anyway, not anyways.
The Screams were OK by The Mothman	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:12:53 AM
I thought the third one, with its James Ellroy-esque secret sex theatres and a mildly creepy Lance Henriksen, was underrated. Last Summer had some atmosphere, but was crippled by some bad scenes (like when the killer decides to wave hello at Gellar in the middle of a parade) and way too many stupid, stupid jump scares. Oh, and who enjoyed the pointless funeral scene at the end of The Perfect Storm? That's what I thought.
Help me Eros is awesome by Marsellus	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:25:03 AM
I had the chance to see it last year, even interviewed the director. Great film, funny and totally crazy. Beautiful phography. But really insane. And sexy.
Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me... by tonagan	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:28:00 AM
I guess writing for them has rubbed off on Harry (no pun intended... oh who am I kidding?)
Yay for Harry by Sebilrazen	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:59:58 AM
The desk seems to bringing out better writing. This was a good posting this week.
"Dear Penthouse, I know she only had one arm but................ by Stuntcock Mike	Jul 22nd, 2008 06:19:13 AM
Nice to see Harry bring the smut every week.
oddly enough by HEADGEEK	Jul 22nd, 2008 06:33:45 AM
Penthouse sent me 22 dvds this week. Jesus. It's enough to make a guy hurt himself.
Harry, where is your Wall-E Review? by castle4	Jul 22nd, 2008 06:56:33 AM
Hi Harry Living in England I don't usually read the reviews of films posted on your site until after I've seen them, which can be months later in some cases. As Wall-e opened here this week I took my son to see it on Sunday. Excellent film, straight from Pixar's top drawer. When I returned from the cinema I went to AICN to read the reviews and having found Mori's and Quint's posts couldn't find yours, even though I'm sure I saw one up a while ago. Can you please let me have the article number so I can read your review. Thanks Mark
Scream pisses all over Last Summer by Lost Jarv	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:08:36 AM
Fucking hell. Do none of you lot remember the state of Horror before Scream? It was a genuinly good, original satire with a few great scares. Last Summer was a low rent Scream knock off. The fact that it is to blame for all teh shitey postmodern crap we got for yonks afterwards and parodied in garbage like Scary Movie does not diminish it. Having said that, it hasn't aged well, although we do need something Scream-esque to clear horror out again.
Anyone who hates on Electroma by quantize	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:29:27 AM
Impale your tasteless carcass on a rusty spike immediately...it's fucking genius and been available on the rest of the planet a LONG time. But Harry, please spare us the icky college memories...YUCCCCCCCCCK
Re: Penthouse sent me 22 dvds this week. by Mace Tofu	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:36:49 AM
Sounds like they want you back Harry!
I love desks. Seriously. I keep rescuing cool old ones... by FlickaPoo	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:41:17 AM
...now I have more desks than rooms to put them in. My subconscious probably believes that the more desks I have the more I will be like J.R.R. Tolkien. Help.
Scream by zed261	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:43:40 AM
I cant bellive you like LAST SUMMER more than SCREAM Harry. As Lost Lav said it was poor knock off. Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich were great and Neve Campbell has at least talent.
it's not about the desk by bluebottle	Jul 22nd, 2008 07:58:02 AM
it's about the chair...
Bird didn't have enough black people in it . . . by Nice Marmot	Jul 22nd, 2008 08:08:55 AM
And what about the music in the new Spaced DVDs? Last I heard, people weren't sure if they got all the original stuff in.
Some fun movies to discuss here... by Yaw	Jul 22nd, 2008 08:49:33 AM
...but 'Vampyr' for me is one of the great disappointing film experience. The first time I saw it I got incredibly high, prepared to have my mind blown - and then I feel asleep because my pot head weighed too much. Thinking it was a case of indulgence, I rewatched the film later after I stopped smoking; it still didn't involve me. And I can see how it could to do so for many; those tremendous dream images are some of the great inspired horror moments: a shadow digging a grave... BACKWARDS!! But it just seemed like ideas with no overall strong connective tissue. It sort of like an extended version of "Un Chien Andelou." It is audacious and visionary filmmaking but it just didn't work for me and I really wanted it to. But my experience with that film helps me be more forgiving when others appreciate the artistic qualities of a film that I deeply adore and cherish but their reception is overall lukewarm. Always wished I liked that movie more. On the flipside "High Low" has the watermark of the greatest of all thrillers. And some of Kurosawa's most stunning photography; his use of the thriller as a framework for social commentary is enlightening. The use of the fact of the magnate's shoe factory and legacy as a theme about one's connection to the world around him and the comparison of the shoes of the characters throughout are so well observed. Also, the reveal of the kidnapper is so against our genre expectations. The humility of that film gets me everytime: "Ikiru" meets "Speed." And I recommend "Bird" for the lush photography alone. One of my favourites even if its lighter elements seem very distant from its vision of an erratic genious. ('Albino Red' is still a really funny stand-alone moment even if it doesn't work as part of the whole in my opinion.) The beautiful way language just purrs out of Whitaker.
But Dreiser eventually DID kick me in the balls... by Yaw	Jul 22nd, 2008 08:54:09 AM

Spaced Music by StaticSyndromeXX	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:10:48 AM
Egheaumaen, A friend of mine works for BBC America and told me that nearly all of the music issues were resolved but she still said their official response was "no comment." The MSRP also jumped up to $60 about a month and half ago, I assume it was because of the music rights.
i thought the robot chicken star wars was by JackieGleasonUFO	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:12:15 AM

I Like The 'Mummy' Flicks. They Look Better On HD, Though. by georges garvaren	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:32:30 AM
As does everything. Even my mom. 'High and Low' has been out for some time now; is there anything different/better with this version?
Everyone has one of those Yaw by dogstardude	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:43:54 AM
For me it was "Man With A Movie Camera" which every cinetaste I know goes nuts for, and when I watched it I could appreciate how revolutionary the technique was and how the film had been so cleverly put together, but it was also sloooooooooow as anything and the terrible TERRIBLE music made it almost unbearable to watch. I've survived Bela Tarr's "Satantango" and nothing has ever taxed my patience as much as "Man With A Movie Camera". Plus Vertov was a pretentious wanker whose ideas were elaborated on and made great by the later 50's 60's works of the cinema verite' movement.
Kiss of Spider Woman by the beef	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:44:23 AM
I believe was actually pushed back until August.

Thanks dogstardude.
And yeah I agree... by Yaw	Jul 22nd, 2008 10:13:09 AM
... often the brave failures pave the way for later refinement and embellishment. Cultural rebirth is a beautiful thing. (Even if the originator was a wanker.)

After the success of The Mummy, by skimn	Jul 22nd, 2008 10:37:33 AM
Sommers threw in all but the kitchen sink in CGI (good, bad and in-between)for the sequel (the same can be said for Van Helsing, which suffered because Returns was a hit). The Mummy was an entertaining B-Movie with a decent budget, and there were good moments from the 3 leads. And any movie is improved by a score from the late master Jerry Goldsmith. But there are those that may forget that The Mummy (Karloff version) was conceived as a horror film, not an Indy-lite pastiche.
HIGH AND LOW is one of the best police movies ever! by Tacom	Jul 22nd, 2008 10:40:27 AM
Mifune is great in the first half but I love the second half when the police are tracking the kidnapper. Awesome procedural.

IAmJack'sUserID by StaticSyndromeXX	Jul 22nd, 2008 11:43:30 AM
My source at BBC America says that they are using the untouched masters for the video on the Spaced discs. Whether or not it's the same as the UK version, I do not know.

Good to see Goldsmith love by m_prevette	Jul 22nd, 2008 12:17:38 PM
Yesterday was the 4 year mark of his passing...damn, I miss looking forward to new Goldsmith scores. He was brilliant. His Mummy score is great fun and it gets a good LOUD mix in the movie

Vampyr! by Darkocity	Jul 22nd, 2008 01:34:49 PM

I actually agree on Mummy 2 by BeatsMe	Jul 22nd, 2008 01:36:13 PM
While it's far from a masterpiece (or even really a good movie), it at least has some sense of adventure and imagination--the first one was a dull turd that never really went anywhere. Just started Spaced the other night..it's alright, I guess, kind of obvious humor. Does it get funnier?

Biggest Dissapointment: Unbearable Lightness of Being by Stormwatcher	Jul 22nd, 2008 02:32:59 PM
Hate that movie. HATE IT. And I love Daniel Day Lewis but have forever more hated Juliette Binoche. Man that's some pretentious garbage. Just want to punch the people who made it or slap them with the gritty part of an old 80's style skateboard.

Funny that Kazan gets ripped on by JackRabbitSlim	Jul 22nd, 2008 03:55:11 PM
and for whatever reason people have forgotten Lucille Ball was one of the biggest informers of them all. Loved the Academy Award Show a few years ago when Kazan got an honorary Oscar - Marty Scorsese looked like he was ready at a moments notice to hop off that podium and kick the ass of the people who were booing like the pugnacious miniature Iye-tye kid from Queens he is. Bobby DeNiro, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to slink back behind the curtains.

Thanks JackRabbitSlim (pays to remember those moments) by Yaw	Jul 22nd, 2008 06:31:06 PM
And Benny in "the Mummy" is Henry Plainview; the one part of the movie that surprised me (though, the colour is nice towards the end with the plagues). I orginally thought it was the same actor as the Dale character in Mallick's "The Thing Red Line;" but low and behold it was Benny! I'm glad that guy got a shot like that. That he makes that pitable character's murder matter took a lot of skill on both his and Anderson's part, "Huh! (woman laughing, drunken chatter and chair scraps)... money... give me money..."; he exposes the big emptiness that Daniel's been digging on top of and toward all along, like the ground eroding around his feet. His total inability to empathize, to forgive. I love that Anderson likes to take such chances with his actors. I think his films are some of the most bravely acted, especially the last three pictures. ("Boogie Nights" is the one film of his that really hasn't lingered long in my mind, though I really liked it at the time.) And Paltrow in "Hard Eight," she had a great feel for a character whose surface attitude was easy to dislike, "I want my FUCKING MONEY!." She fuckin' shaved her upper lip so that it would appear a little razor burnt throughout the movie. And it is was less an act of condescension than one helping her represent a person living close to the edge and holding on to the one thing that keeps them surviving, in her case her body. And then finding that she couldn't escape that mentality; a great character foil for Sydney. Little things like that.
Harry, where's your Man From Uncle review? by rben	Jul 22nd, 2008 08:30:56 PM

Harry, you've changed your mind a bit on A Perfect Storm by BigTuna	Jul 22nd, 2008 08:35:48 PM
You were glowing in your review of it 8 years ago. And I take issue with your comment "A landmark film in terms of visual effects ", the effects just aren't that good. I never once bought they were actually in the ocean. All the waves look completely fake, and it hurts the film bad. You never feel any dread for the characters at all. It's also horribly melodramatic in regards to the Whalberg/Lane romance.
Harry by Squancho	Jul 22nd, 2008 09:07:15 PM
You've no doubt heard this a million times by now, but I signed up just to add another drop to the bucket: You are horrible at what you do. I've been reading this site since it's inception and I absolutely appreciate it for what it is and for the part it has played in the development of the internet into a valid medium. I read the site almost every day and consider it (along with Dark Horizons) the premier source for all things movie and television. I discovered Vern (who I consider one of the best reviewers on or off the internet)via your site, and that alone is enough to make me grateful that you've done what you've done. But, again, you are horrible. Nearly everything you've ever written here (moreso in recent years) has been either embarrassing, disgusting or downright dishonest. That said, I inevitabely end up reading every post you contribute, just to see how epically you will fail to present any coherent ideas and how many times you will reference your own disturbing sexual proclivities. It's like a car wreck. I simply can't look away. In summation: Great site, but you suck.

Blu Ray question - PLEASE ANSWER ME by Mr Gorilla	Jul 23rd, 2008 04:44:24 AM
OK, I live in the UK and I just got a Blu-Ray player, they're just under 200 quid here now. All excited I go online to see what is available. AND IT'S ALL EITHER RECENT STUFF, OR TOTAL SHIT!!!!! So, a few good recent films are available - THERE WILL BE BLOOD etc. Otherwise, here's some of the titles they've found fit to release: THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, THE ISLAND, S.W.A.T., AIR FORCE ONE, THE PATRIOT, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, STEALTH, UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION, FIREWALL, KING ARTHUR, THE 6th DAY, ERAGON, THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, THE RECRUIT... I could go on. What is this shit?? Do they think that people who buy Blu-Ray all have dire taste in films. (I just about found THE SEARCHERS and RIO BRAVO, the Kubricks of course, but believe me there's not much else. But, you know, thin pickings, Slim Pickens..) Help me, please.
Mr Gorilla by dalbatron	Jul 23rd, 2008 04:57:59 AM
check our region free movies web sites. Most of the releases on amazon.com say american only BUT will play in a uk player... try http://bluray.liesinc.net/ and then just order from amazon.com
I could go on: by Mr Gorilla	Jul 23rd, 2008 06:30:39 AM
Further films they have decided are right for Blu-Ray while they sit on their back catalogues: THE MARINE, LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN, PATHFINDER, RONIN, FLYBOYS, FLIGHT PLAN, THE LEGEND OF ZORRO, HOSTAGE, TEARS OF THE SUN, VERTICAL LIMIT, FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX...

Amazing G by Mr Gorilla	Jul 23rd, 2008 08:26:21 AM
Seriously, we should start some sort of a revolution here. I mean, what sort of twisted fiend launches a new system with such titles as GONE IN 60 SECONDS, NATIONAL TREASURE, CLIFFHANGER, BATMAN AND ROBIN, WE WERE SOLDIERS, I ROBOT, RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION, GHOST RIDER, GODZILLA (1998), PEARL HARBOR, FIRST KNIGHT and, wait for it ESCAPE TO freaking ATHENA???? I mean, I'm no genius, but woudn't you kick this thing off with those non-contentions good films that always surface towards the top of people's favourite lists: TEH GODFATHER, CITIZEN KANE, STAR WARS, LORD OF THE RINGS, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, VERTIGO, JAWS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, THE SHAWSHANK REDEPTION. Nothing at all controversial, but the kind of films that people will actually want to see in HD.
Mifune is Amazing in High and Low by Aquatarkusman	Jul 23rd, 2008 09:07:45 AM
... but even his performance is topped by that of the kidnapper in the final sequence, which is one of the most chilling ever filmed as a character study. Incidentally, the name of the movie in Japanese in Tengoku to Jigoku, or 'Heaven and Hell'(which makes more sense).

I once went back to a girls room for some of the old in and out and she wanted me to thrash her ass with the horse whip she had hanging above her bed! If she'd had a Fatal Attraction poster on her wall or was trying to get me into her room and I could smell Hotdogs and onions I might not have entered her lair! but aint college days cool.com
The first 15 minutes of Scream 1... by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 24th, 2008 12:17:39 PM
Is still better than any horror movie of recent. It was just brilliant since the posters and trailers made it look like Barrymore was the lead character, when she got hunted down and knocked off I was shocked. Ballsy ad campaign and it paid off.

Mr. Gorilla, one answer to your question by 7-zark-7	Jul 25th, 2008 08:13:57 PM
as to why so many "sh*tty" recent movies have seen a Blu-Ray release (while many "classic" films have not, yet) is fairly simple: The High-Definition "master" for most recent films is already available. :-/ Give it time; the "classic" film catalogue titles will be released, eventually.
