“My Dinner with Andre” minus the dinner? So it was that stupid seal (not Seal) movie?

I don’t agree, but certainly points to Greg for this excellent witticism: “It was like My Dinner with Andrew, only there was no Dinner.”

Oh, BTW… the ultimate anti-Valentines Day film is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

It even begins on a depressing Valentines Day.

Blue Valentine review was good, really liked the movie.

Would also be interested in a Mr.Nobody review as it’s a movie which a lot of people missed. I think it’s one of the best movies no one ever heard of.

To track which movies I have watched I use IMDB scoring and http://www.whatiwatch.net. The combination is great. Whatiwatch allows you to see all statistics if you are into those.

Dogtooth was playing in Toronto Last week. It’s bloody magnificent. It’s also out on DVD here at this point. We did the film on this weeks R3 cinecast.

Thanks for the review and post-review comments on Blue Valentine. I am embarrassed to say that I am finally on board to watch Blue Valentine after the Rocky comments and All the Real Girls comparison: this genre of relationship films just don’t interest me right now.

A review Mr. Nobody would be nice. Get Reed to watch it with you guys. I want hear what he thinks about the film’s use of time travel in light of his previous comments on how the convention is considered lazy sci-fi.

Regarding special themes – great work on the Bruck-a-thon by the way – here are some suggestions: a de Palma special, themes based around Spielberg as producer or directors mentored by Roger Corman.

@Henrik
You’re right. I’m thinking of the episode where he found people making and posting their own instructions for movie props and one of them was The Stuff container.

I believe Henrik´s right about the Glaive from Krull.

Also, if you guys don´t know what to review, you could just do a special. Like a Tarantino special or Danny Boyle or something..

I don’t think the boys will enjoy Dogtooth nor they are able to track the movie in Canada anyway. I can send you a copy if you like though, it has a nice little packaging but it’s not on blu-ray yet I think.

For next week’s episode please review Dogtooth. One of the best movies of 2010 by far and might bring up some interesting discussion.
