Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Jackass DVD is supposed to have some very good extras including bonus footage and 2(cast and director) surprisingly insightful commentaries. That looks like the only one to buy this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest C.H.U.D. Report post Posted March 24, 2003 All I'm getting is Futurama and the new Roger Rabbit special edition. I watched the Jackass disc at work on Friday, and the deleted scenes are pretty good. Almost 30 minutes worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted March 24, 2003 With Zelda's release tomorrow, I can only afford Jackass. Futurama and Roger Rabbit wll have to wait, in that order, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Because I work at a video store we get to rent out movies before their street date and I just got done watching the features on the Jackass DVD which are must see. Two music videos, about a half hour of outtakes and another half hour of cut footage from the theatrical release. Haven't checked out the commentaries yet, heard they rule too.

Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Roger Rabit is the only one I might get. I don't think I have the money for it right now though. I just bought Roger Rabbit at Target... it was listed for 29.99, Target said it was 19.99, and it rang up at 15.99... and if you have the old video tape around the house (with the box, so you have the proof of purchase... or the old DVD that sucked, you get a $5 mail in Rebate.) 11 Dollars for Roger Rabbit DTS goodness. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PORNFAQ Report post Posted March 25, 2003 You're gonna tell me no one is geeked for the release of Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy??? Blasphemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted March 25, 2003 I don't think that anyone wants to "whack it" to Ron Jeremy and you already know that that's as far as the interest in porn tends to be around here. Nothing wrong with whacking, but this is the wrong place to be if you're looking for porn talk of a "higher level." Annnnnnyway, may I just ask what the fixation on Jackass is? It's basically an extended show with a bunch of morons going off and doing stupid stunts, while resorting to toilet humor (and before you bust out the "that's what wrestling is," I'd say that even they're able to do it better than the Jackass people). I'm not "above" toilet humor (I love Beavis and Butthead), but this sort of toilet humor doesn't appeal to me at all and that's not to say that that's how it should be for everyone; I just don't get why so many find it so entertaining. As for releases that I've got my eye on, it's Futurama Volume 1 and Roger Rabbit for me, although I may pass on Roger today since I'll be going to BB and they don't have the cheapest price for it.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Exactly...You watch Jackass to say "what a fucking idiot" and then laugh at the sheer stupidity of what they just did.

Dames No, it suffered because no one wanted to talk about it in any of the folders. If there were some discussion about porno in another folder, then by all mean, direct me to it, as I seem to have missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Actually I'd probably be interested in Pornstar enough to watch it. Is it all about Ron Jeremy's career or what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2003 What are you saying? That porno should have been discussed in a folder besides the designated "Porno" folder? That makes little sense. Everyone clamored for it and when they finally got it, no one discussed anything about porno related in it. It eventually became the Love, Sex & Dating folder.

I thought you said, "no one should..." which is why I said that. My bad. And to answer Satanico's question, I believe it's a retrospective of his career, but PORNFAQ would have more specific details.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Home: "Yoink!" ----------------------------------- Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Anyone who fantasizes about becoming a porn star should see Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, a cheerful documentary that paints a sympathetic but clear-eyed portrait of the most successful male porn star of all time. Through remarkably frank interviews with the man himself and a variety of friends and associates (including actresses, rival actors, and directors; porn moguls like Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein; and, most surprisingly, Jeremy's own family), Ron Jeremy emerges as a likeable but self-obsessed guy whose insatiable drive for fame and success is also a struggle to overcome loneliness and a lack of self-worth. Not that anyone's going to feel too sorry for a man who gets paid to have sex, but Jeremy's honesty and sense of humor deserve some respect. And despite all the flesh on display, Porn Star is more matter-of-fact than titillating, taking in its subject with a sociological distance. --Bret Fetzer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted March 26, 2003 Those of you who saw it, what are your opinions on Femme Fatale, and is it worth picking up? A lot of critics panned it, but I came across a few who thought it was cheesy, but still exciting and a lot of fun. Also, I read an article by Stephanie Zacharek over at Salon where she made it sound pretty good: There's one more actress who belongs on that list, an actress who gave a performance that I've found myself defending over and over again. I feel protective of Rebecca Romijn-Stamos' performance in "Femme Fatale" not only because I think it's marvelously, wickedly entertaining, but because I think there's something essentially misogynist about the way many critics and moviegoers have so sneeringly dismissed her. Romijn-Stamos plays Lily/Laure (she goes by both names), a ruthless thief and hustler who uses every one of her God-given feminine resources to get exactly what she wants. At one point she impersonates a pouty, doe-eyed French girl (speaking perfect French, although it's clear her real background is plain old American alley cat) to snare a rich American diplomat; later she shows up as a mysterious Hitchcock blond (a sister in spirit and in wiles to "Basic Instinct's" Catherine Tramell) who struts through Paris in an armor softly forged from cream cashmere and Hermès silk -- the battle garb of l'amour, worn by a true warrior. Romijn-Stamos has legs like lily stems. She used to be a model, which, in the realm of discussion about "serious" acting, is one strike against her; it's universally assumed that models simply aren't intelligent enough to act. (I think there are several actresses who disprove that theory, Anjelica Huston among them, but there's simply no changing some people's alleged minds on the matter.) I've heard some people say that Romijn-Stamos gives a decent performance, but only because director Brian De Palma told her exactly what to do. Romijn-Stamos is a relative beginner at acting, and there's no doubt De Palma must have guided her. But it's not him we're looking at up there on the screen; it's not his body moving so supply and so unself-consciously in that deliciously outlandish striptease scene; it's not his voice, declaring in those intentionally flat-as-the-Great-Plains tones, tones that suddenly betray Lily/Laure's workaday roots (even though we never find out exactly what those roots are): "I'm a bad girl. Real bad." There are people who have enjoyed "Femme Fatale" but who still claim that Romijn-Stamos couldn't possibly have been in on the joke of her character. But I don't see how an actress could give such an intentionally funny, sharp-edged performance and have it be an accident, or simply the result of the puppet-master's having pulled the right strings. All actors know that part of their job is to use their bodies. And yet there are plenty of actresses with beautiful bodies who have no sense of physicality, of how to play a role with their limbs as well as their minds. (In her first movie role, Romijn-Stamos pretty much had only her body to work with: As Mystique in "X-Men," she had no lines and played the entire movie in a costume that was little more than a coat of blue body paint.) One of the most resonant images from "Femme Fatale" is that of Romijn-Stamos tangling with Antonio Banderas on a Parisian bridge, her hair a windblown tumble of blond curls, her eyes circled with eyeliner like an echo of Parisian soot. She's dressed in fetching black leather and lace, impeccably cut in the French way, but there's something about her defiant stance that makes her much more than just a tall, lovely girl who looks good in clothes. She's nervy and determined in the way she carries herself, as if she'd come to an understanding of her character within her very bones and muscles. I don't know how Romijn-Stamos will be in other movies, working with other directors. But I consider her performance in "Femme Fatale" work well done, and I wouldn't hesitate to point to the role as a fascinating, beefy and, yes, challenging one. I will most certainly watch "Femme Fatale" again someday, and once again I'll relish its artful disreputability. But I'll never again go near "The Hours" if I can help it. I see "Femme Fatale" as a covertly feminist movie, one that embraces the femme fatale not just as an icon but as a disguise for the real human being underneath. Lily/Laure, a femme fatale (the most heavily typed in the movies!), feels more real and more vivid to me than the carefully wrought, "serious" characters in "The Hours."
