YouTube says "This video is Private".
"Chicago" and "Shaolin Soccer" are online, though they may not be available in other countries: http://on.aol.com/movies |

shaolin soccer is pretty hilarious. meanwhile i thought "kung fu shuffle" was slightly disappointing based on how great the premise was.
i got about halfway through the lego movie and thought it was pretty clever. most people should dig. also watched the simpsons lego episode on that note... about the same... clever, not brilliant... most people should enjoy. still trying to get through M*A*S*H. great series, but hard to reel off more than 2-3 eps at a time. almost done with season five. pawn stars is getting more and more sketchy and formulaic all the time. if only the antiques roadshow people were a little more amusing. trying to catch up with sylvain chomet, who did the brilliant "triplets of bellville" animated movie. but in general, so many great french flicks to catch up with... bah. |

Well, it pays to live in a city with a good library system.
I have a library card for Los Angeles and I've spent half the day looking at the available e-media, particularly online movies that I can "borrow" at no cost, same as checking out a book. This is the page for the Los Angeles system, and if you have a card with a number and, depending on your local rules, a PIN, you might want to find your local library's online page, if available, and see if they offer any of these partners. Pay particular attention to Hoopla and OverDrive. They have quite a few surprising titles, including "Bruno" (huh!?), E.T., George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead", the original "The Evil Dead", and "The Men Who Stare at Goats (Hoopla), and "Django Unchained" (OverDrive). That last one knocks me out. I've wanted to see it since new, never got around to it, never realized that Django Unchained is a Spaghetti Western-style, by Quentin Tarantino (knew he did it though). Great styling, right down to music by the original Ennio Morriconi! And if your local library doesn't offer these, then ask them Why the Hell Don't They... http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/e-media |

that library one is a good idea, yea. i think i remember the names of those services from something or other. cleveland has a fine library system, and i even play TT at the community center right next to a big branch.
i didn't realised django unchained was as you said. i think i was confusing it with "seven years a slave" or something. |

Django is a mix of "Sergio Leone", "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid", "Brother From Another Planet", and Mr. Tarantino. Django becomes a free man in short order.

Thanks for helping some old memories kick back in. There where some decent made for TV movies back then. The deliciously bad "When Michael Calls" haunted our young thoughts{'Help Me Auntie My Helen'}. I still like "Duel" with that faceless truck driver chasing Dennis Weaver's 1970 Mopar all over the desert South West.">">">">

I've been thinking that Spielberg should remake "Duel" with Tom Cruise as an ISP surveyor scouting out the dead zones, hopelessly dependent on The Internet for his information and contacts, and the faceless trucker P.O.'d over GPS tracking on truckers 24/7 as his last stand, as a former King of the Road.

Jeez 'Sleepy' you are a wellspring of ideas. Me and my truck driving buddy would pay actual money(BitCoin?) to see "DUEL 2020" at a theater near you soon. Staring Tom Cruise and Woody Harrelson. Because it crosses state lines it needs a psychotic FBI or DOT/TSA agent with a Napoleon complex that is afraid to drive....

Yo, that one sounds like the current project, C_S.
So...maybe "Duel" is balled up in several copyrights? Oh well... |

It has nothing to do with Transformers , I was merely making a statement about how cutting edge it is as far CGI is concerned...

Just watched that one, Steve. The best superhero movie I've seen since the Avengers, and probably the closest the Marvel Universe will come to making a Dark Knight Nolan-esque film. It makes Spiderman 2 look like a play put on by second-graders (BTW, Spiderman 2 is fucking awful).

Well I haven't seen Spiderman 2 yet and whats with that, have there not been 3 spiderman movies already, should this not be Spiderman Fore!

Actually, this should be Spiderman 5! They rebooted it a couple years ago. It's horrible and has no reason to exist. It makes me say things I used to find appalling, like "Spiderman 3 was better than this!" or "I miss James Franco!" Hope you get through more of the Sherman and Peabody movie than I did! Ready for an adventure about how hard it is for the dog to send his pet boy off to school? That's when I hit stop. Not everything has to be made into a movie, isn't that right Rocky & Bullwinkle and Dudley Doright?

This is the Google Maps for the filming location for M*A*S*H*.
It is not very cooperative. Follow the blue road to the marker and Zoom there: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...08d&dg=feature Using the above link, pan south to the shore a short distance away. You might have to Zoom. When you see the peninsula for Malibu, Ca, Zoom further until you see the legend for "Point Dume State Beach". Center the map and Zoom until you see the "Pirate's Cove" legend. Then place the Little Man (street view) on the "Pirate's Cove" legend so that the green circle beneath him lands precisely on the "Pirate's". This was a clothing-optional beach until it was outlawed in 1980. Using the keyboard arrows and watching the compass in the upper left corner (you may have to click on the map first), look South 6 O'Clock. You might recognize a rock formation there, though it is long withered. Now swing around to 10 O'Clock. You might find your Destiny here, though a significant landmark is missing from the map. You can find that Lady elsewhere. |

I think everyone our age liked the Dudley cartoons the best. It was the equivalent of sitting through the Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner hour to get to that Roadrunner gold!

Well I got through Peabody, though yes it was a watered down production for 3 to 6 year olds and seriously lacking in the educational values and humour of the original series..ho hum..

"boyhood" by richard linklater sounds f'n amazing. took ~12 years to film because they wanted to follow the same actor growing from childhood in to a young man. but more than that, it just sounds like a great, fascinating film.
meanwhile, on that marvel film front, "guardians of the galaxy" actually sounds pretty good. i might not have to bail on that one, hopefully earning a little medal from steve. ![]() |
