Best DVD Rentals

“Um, the fact it's a French film should have set off alarms in your head...”

“which head?”

“"That is what was so shocking. A fairly major actress doing that on film."

OK, I gotta ask, who? and What?”

“Chloe Sevigny.

Here's her IMDb page.

She mostly does indies.


SPOILER ALERT







In the final scene of The Brown Bunny, her character gives Vincent Gallo's character a blowjob. According to both of them, it was not staged or faked in any way.”

“Spoiler alert? That's more of a gag alert!”

“Vincent Gallo as in Buffalo 66?
I might have to rent that one now ...”

“Yup, that Vincent Gallo. Apparently people who saw Buffalo 66 have been disappointed with The Brown Bunny.”

“I couldn't even sit through half of the trailer before getting bored. I think the French/Indie formula is a bit worn out...crappy story, crappy direction, crappy film quality. Wrap it all up in a brown paper wrapper and call it avant-garde!.”

“ok, nevermind...”

“It makes me wonder if they're just going after the opposite of most American movies, e.g., boring and crappy instead of exciting and crappy...lol...”

“I think English films have really gotten good. I really like the Notting Hill, Four Weddings, Love Actually type of movies.

I will have to say though that Brotherhood of the Wolf was a great French film though. A must own!

“I liked it.

I rented Love Actually as a light romantic movie to watch with my wife.


She was unamused during the sequences starring the porn body doubles.”

“What was that one with the animated porn sequences? Team America? (F*** yeah!) That really cracked me up. The wife thought I was nuts. Still does...”

“bit, there's nothing like female nudity to bring down a romantic moment. It's not neccesarilly that the woman is jealous or has low self esteem, it can be that there is no male nudity to balance off with all the female nudity being shown.

Then again, some women may be glad if the female nudity spurred their male partner into an excited moment which would lead to a sex.

I saw Wedding Crashers and expected an all female nude film and but it was filled with a lot of quick breast shots, but not even one male butt shot since that's all most films will allow due to maybe film makers thinking that men pay for the films they take their girlfriends or wives to???

How many men would want to see big male appendages in a movie and pay for it? Not many. The same for women. They only show great female bodies, and we have to sit there and watch this crap if we want to see any movies most times, where a guy in most cases would not want to see a man with a great body and big male appendage, especially if they don't measure up, so why would women want to see perfect female breasts which many of them have been inhanced?”

“I don't think it had anything to do with the nekkidity, but more to do with the fact that if I even say the word "porn" around my wife, I'm on the couch for a month.”

“sounds like lippy has appendage envy :-D

recently watched citizen kane, and the accompanying documentary on the lives of welles and hearst. its interesting how similar their lives were, and how hearst destroyed welles's career with his newspapers because he didnt like the way he was portrayed”

“bit, maybe you should look into buying a really comfortable couch, LMAO!!!!! Maybe get a Castro Convertible, then you can say porn all day long, lol:)

On a side note: some women will not mind their husband's going to topless places, but from what I've seen of these women, I think they don't mind, because they are doing their own side thing.

Crash, hubby's appendage is quite all right and my two frontal appendages are holding up pretty good, but most movies with a lot of nudity tend to be more for the nudity and not for any interesting plot. And if I hear one more actress say they got naked, because it was artistic and important to the movie....... I only find nudity important in porn movies. I would not take my kid of mine to a movie rated PG if I had a kid. I think it's too soon for a kid to start thinking about sex and maybe obsessing over it and seeking out other venues to find it.”

“well, lippy, why do you see male genitalia in movies but never female genitalia? and there are male butt shots all the time, even tv. you must not be seeing the right movies. rent "the piano" and "the crying game" for male full frontal nudity, "old school" for extended male butt shot, and "troy" for brad pitts well-toned ass”

“LMAO!!!! Crash, thanks for those tips, get it, tips, aaaah, bad joke, lol:)”

“Did I mention the Northern Exposure Series now has season 3 on DVD? Thinkbubelz and I love this quirky TV show! The music and the characters are still great even though it's been 10 years since it stopped airing... :-)”

“We rented "Kitchen Stories" Its a swedish film with subtitles so its hard to follow, but a funny film about postwar norway and a survey done on the efficiency of Norwegian bachelors in their kitchens. Its hard to decribe but worth it.

Oh and we rented Pee Wees Big Adventure for my daughter, she loved it.

“Apparently people who saw Buffalo 66 have been disappointed with The Brown Bunny.”
Apparently some of us who saw Buffalo 66 were also disappointed. Though one of my fav lines from any movies came from there..."we are a couple spanning time"...”

“I saw a movie last night with Ewen Mcgreggor in it and it made me think of Lipstick. It's a movie about him shaggin' some other guy's wife and he's laying there in bed with his shlonger hanging out there (not unimpressive but uncut and ugly)and I thought, "Well, here's one I have to suggest to Lipstick.".”

“I really can't believe I'm critiquing wiener movies for TT women now...”

“ha ha, wiener movies...there's some wiener action in Kensey too, and i do mean little”

“Yah, if I went to a strip club my wife would be really pissed.”

“Nigal, everyone, you are too kind to let me know about schong movies, LMAO!!! I'm making a list!

Bit, if the word porn sets your wife off, I don't think pissed would be the right word for what she would say to you if you went to a topless place:) There would be other words like "divorce" or I'm taking the house, find a place to live, you're not seeing the kids (if you have any), "go see if one of those topless ladies will come over and do your laundry or cook for you at your NEW place, I don't think so" or other phrases along that line:)”

“Crash, actually there was male frontal in the movie Sideways, but this guy was jacked out of shape. It almost didn't count!!!”

“got Maria Full of Grace from Netflix yesterday...pretty good movie, a bit slow but good...i love foreign movies but reading subtitles really blows...i mean after all you watch the movie so you don't have to read to book”

“Nah, I don't think it would be that bad. She would be disappointed in me (and pissed), but that's probably about all. If I made a habit of it, then she would try to modify my behavior, lol...

She just really has it in for porn, for some reason.”

“bit, if the word porn pushes her over the edge, anything more will have you butt camping in the yard for a month, lol:)

Well, some woman may think that porn is addictive or men chose the porn over them or need it, and that may seem like a problem. What's a problem is when you don't agree together whether it's okay to be part of you sex life.

I think a lot of woman would rather be the focus of their partner's attention and not porn even though some consider it to be not a big deal since it's on film and not an in person encounter.

Modify behavior? I don't know if a person is addicted to it if they can be modified. Gwenyth Paltrow complained that Ben Affleck always went to topless places and that is what supposedly broke up his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. I'm sure she feels she is a big sex symbol to a lot of men and there goes Ben, looking for more like she can't cut it. It must have been quite emabarrassing to an extent and maybe she even thought that her male viewers would think she can't cut it if her fiance has to go elsewhere.”

“LH, you never miss an episode of Entertainment Tonight do you?
LOL”

“Hmm, I guess I could do that if I wanted to rack up a lot of bag nights.”

“Ben watching the first season of Rescue Me on DVD.
Man, the show just sucks you into it.
Great series.
Also been watching a few music DVDs. Saw Rust Never Sleeps with Neil Young last night. Great concert movie.”

“isn't neil young a bit liberal for ya SS ?

what's next, cat stevens?”

“sacco, sacco, sacco.....

*Hits sacco up side the head with a wet trout*

I'm a hippy that grew up. It's hard to dislike the best music I grew up with. LOL”

“Netflix users

I've been starting to use the Review movie I've rented feature. The puter is now suggesting movies I might like based on my ratings.

How has this worked for y'all?

I've got The Power of One waiting for me at home based on that recomendation.”

“IMDb page on The Power of One

User comments make it sound kinda depressing.”

“This one looks really good. It's supposed to be like the best Japanese horro film. The Eye”

“Thanks bit. I read several reviews and I think I may just like it. I have not read the book, so that will help. Very few movies are better than the book.”

“Hey, I like Cat Stevens. A Cat Stevens song is even in my churches hymnal.”

“Ha! I have The Pixies and James Taylor concert film DVDs on the way too.

“Dang, you Methodists are paganistic ain't ya? LOL!

I went to see Neil Yound and Crazy Hourse a few years ago and they were great. Very anti-bush, anti-corporation and well anti-everything. But hey, it's rock and roll! I love Cat stevens too.”

“I have JT's greatest hits and went to one of his concerts.”

“Oh I love James Taylor! Which one is it? Do you have his latest CD? It is every bit as good as his old stuff. Unbelieveable song writer.

“Nigal - it's listed as an Easter Hymn. Morning Has Broken”

“It's only rock and roll but I like it like it rock and roll.....

“Oh, I thought maybe it was Steamroller. LOL!”

“Funny you mention that, when I was in hs I was a camp counseler at a church camp. One of the kids put JT Great Hits on the loudspeaker. When Steamroller started in everyone was running full speed to the place where the broadcast was happening. F bombs at church camp aren't cool.”

“sacco, I picked up that celebrity info from a talk show Gwenyth was on and the Ben Affleck going to a topless place was all over the tv and regular newspapers.

I really dislike Entertainment Tonight and the other shows like it. I watched it once and all they do is tell you what is coming up and it's like 30 items, and after one item, they repeat, again, the next 29 items that are coming up!!!

If celebrity gossip hits the mainstream news, that's when I see it. I can't be bothered seeking that junk out. I really don't care what the celebrities are doing as a general rule.

I never get sucked into picking up one of those rags by the checkout stand in the grocery store either. I don't think it's really fair for them to advertise or enhance or make up stories about someone's private life.”
