Screencast » Questions - April 18th
Like most men with a functioning heart and brain, I love John Woo movies. But I have a question: why isn't there a single old John Woo movie that has received a quality DVD or Blu-ray release? The Killer was in the Criterion Collection for a while but then it went out of print and they haven't bothered to reprint it and they never added Hard Boiled or A Better Tomorrow or any of the other John Woo classics. Meanwhile, any DVD or Blu-ray released today is a transfer off a shitty print and sometimes they aren't even widescreen. What the fuck, guys?

Francis looks way cooler.
And also was friends with a black person!
" @BjornTheUnicorn said:No he doesn't.Oh no doubt. Everyone would be edgy and pissed off. Also the character of Merle looks EXACTLY like Francis. "" I feel like that would be a more realistic environment if a zombie apocalypse had happened. "

Monsters » Not what I was expecting (plus spoilery question about ending)
Yeah, I think you got it.
Except for that last bit.

General Discussion » Bold words from Ryan Davis
I still need to watch Dark City, but for all the mockery it gets, and for all the shit that the Wachowski Siblings piled onto that franchise, it has to be said that The Matrix is one hell of an action movie.
Dark City has to be pretty damn good to live up to that.

" Does Diary of the Dead count? I've never seen it, but I heard of its premise and wasn't sure if it belonged in this group. I hear it's pretty bad anyway.Oh it's fucking awful.
General Discussion » Favorite "Found Footage" movie?
I am a sucker for monster movies, so I'd have to say Cloverfield.
I liked Paranormal Activity, though. Blair Witch, not so much. Not until the big reveal at the end, anyway. That was pretty good.

Bug Reporting » Screened not synced with Twitter properly?
The other day I posted a message to Screened and clicked the "send message to twitter" box because I do that often.
But it never went through. I thought I just missed it, but as it turns out, it just took days to get there. Apparently I just tweeted about Star Trek.
I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and Windows 7. My internet has been stable and I don't really understand what's happened here, but I just thought I'd let the Top Men know about it.

General Discussion » What is your most hated film?
Most hated? That's a tough one.
Probably have to be X3. Taking the rather intelligent and serious Bryan Singer series and then shitting it up, making every character an idiot, killing off major characters in retarded ways, crafting dumb action sequences and referencing a goddamn internet meme. There really is nothing to love about that film and it's cheap and pathetic attempts to appeal to what it thinks the fanbase of those movies is.

General Discussion » unlimited budget, What book to Movie adaption you take on.
Altered Carbon.
Or Neuromancer.
But mostly Altered Carbon.
Get Christian Bale as Kovacs' first body, and De Niro or Clooney as Bancroft. It could work.

Hidden Gems » The 13th Warrior
The 13th Warrior is a highly entertaining movie, but yes, it's a total mess.
The idea that Michael Crichton thought he was a filmmaker is still really funny to me. He wasn't even that good at writing books.

@Kraznor: Robert fucking Redford, that's why. Also computer science out of the early nineties is really funny to young(ish) people.
MY QUESTION: film noir seems to be every film nerd/amateur filmmaker's favorite genre. Or maybe it's just the ones I hang out with. Regardless, I want the Screened posse to lay out their favorite film noir movies that are NOT Casablanca, because everyone already knows that Casablanca is best.

General Discussion » Who is your least favorite actor ?
How can you not like George Clooney?
What is wrong with you?
Sean Penn, yeah, I can understand. He's done some work that is genuinely good (Milk) but he is so high on himself and some of his performances are truly overrated (IZZAT MY DAUGHTAR IN THERRRR)
Personally? I'm starting to think that Clive Owen can't actually act. He is the same in every movie I've seen in him, and while that same thing is kinda cool, it's starting to wear thin.

The best part of this trailer is how it gets Jeff's name wrong.

Pushing Daisies » Pushing Daisies... yay, or nay
I just started since the first (maybe only?) couple seasons came up on Netflix.
I finished the pilot and I literally said aloud to myself, "this is amazing television."
I have rarely seen a show that I liked instantly. The dialogue and writing was consistently clever and funny, and though it's hard to tell, I think it will stand up to scrutiny, unlike a certain other "clever" writer's work.
coughjosswhedoncough
...anyway it really sucks that it got canceled. But man, it's premise does take some serious exposition to explain. Even if it's delivered via a helpful, pleasant British narrator, it's still a lot of exposition.

Hidden Gems » In the Mouth of Madness
I really need to see this. John Carpenter made another Lovecraft-y homage before this film, Prince of Darkness, that was pretty good too, but that didn't have Sam Neill in it!
