he asks for it, and he likes it, or he wouldn't ask for it.

Quote from: 03my list (R1):

I've seen almost as many on 03's list as I have on the other list, but I like 03's list better.

And The Company Of Wolves is really on R1 DVD??  I never knew!  This makes my day.

Did you just say "Diss"?  Even though you might have left Junior High, it's good to see that Junior High didn't leave you.

dude, you guys serious? (though I know stefen ain't 'cause that pussyass manchild IMed me about several movies on the list) 03 actually owns some good movies instead of I dunno, Star Wars platinum and Die Hard trilogy and TV show boxsets.  Most of them are just foreign arthouse films, and you're giving him shit over that?  that's pretty fucking self-righteous.

I think the most serious of flaws in both 03's and the other's list is the lack of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

03's list should be titled "Incredibly Random Movies To Own" if anything.

The biggest problem in 03's list is that it is hardly topical, unless 03's essential dvd list is a bunch of above average efforts sprinkled in with some underrated titles from stellar directors.  The list itself is not pretentious at all, it has not the talent to be so, but the fact that it is posted inside of this thread is incredibly pretentious.  Moreso, it is a lie of a list.  It is obviously tailored to impress its audience, from the "(not cc)" on Tin Drum to the inclusion of barely impressive titles like Rhinoceros, the list reeks of "I've been saving this list to put inside of a thread."

If you would argue that it is his honest list, I would argue that there is the notable pressence of esteemed directors.  It is always easier and perhaps more fun to love the lesser known titles, but hell, that should have its own thread.  You know what, Star Wars is an essential DVD goddamnit.  It just fucking is.

It's a great movie, isn't it? It was on over the weekend, I was surprised that the bad guy was so fucking hilarious and pitch perfect, and the special effects were still pretty cool. I liked it when I was a kid, and I still think it's great.

I never notice 03 talking about movies or music, he just lists them. or mentions them, which anyone can do.

Its so much fun. Segal has that presence about him that he can pull off the tough guy applause the bad guys give him through out the film. And yea, the bad guy is great. I remember watching Igby Goes Down and being so happy he was given even a one scene role. He's still working, I thought. He manages to be funny and oddily demonic at the same time. The Last Boy Scout is the pinnacle though of great one liners mixed with a shit, over the top action story.
