What?  Haven't you ever seen a Knight in a red diaper, knee-high leather boots and pony tail before?

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. I laughed until I cried.

You forgot to mention that that's Sean Connery.

Out of all the things I've seen on the internet, I am now scarred for life.

Finally got around to watching Wreck It Ralph. I love everything about this movie.
Especially [spoiler]the Kano Heart Rip fatality reference in the beginning.[/spoiler]

I watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

It's a documentary about an 85 year old sushi chef, his small sushi restaurant, and the cultural, familial, and personal dynamics behind it all. Not a bad watch. It will make you really crave (good) sushi, and the soundtrack is mostly Philip Glass and Max Richter.

Best of Disco Godfather (So Far)

Disco Godfather is most likely the greatest film ever created.

The Human Tornado (aka Dolemite II) is pretty far up there as far as Rudy Ray Jones movies go.

What was so great about this movie was it really showed the double edged sword of perfectionism.

Saw Spring Breakers today. Didn't really know anything about it but was pleasantly surprised. Almost an art house type of film. I would recommend it.

Went to Olympus has Fallen today. It's pretty much Die Hard in the white house without the charm and could have benefited from taking itself a little less seriously. Still not a bad action picture.

Watched Primer. A nice small science fiction film. Really low budget but well done.

I thought it was interesting but I just couldn't really piece together what was going on. Perhaps if I were to watch it a second time..

It's definitely not a movie you can watch in passing. I'd say it's worth a second viewing.

Just watched Brazil. One of the best science fiction movies I've ever seen. The only thing I could complain about was wanting more De Niro in it.

I wasn't a fan of Primer, though I can appreciate how well done it was for a really low budget film. The first half of the movie was very slow and filled with annoying pseudo-scientific technical talk, but then things got very complicated very fast with not much time given for processing to the audience. It felt to me as if they were too in love with the concept to create a well-rounded movie.

I think I've posted about it before, but Brazil was a movie I really enjoyed.

-----------------

So I watched my first Korean revenge film, Oldboy. It kept my attention all the way through, despite the fact that my brain guessed at what the "twist" was as soon as the first real hint was dropped. However, I did end up forgetting my guess as the movie progressed, which means that I was entertained and going along for the ride despite myself. Predicting the twist did not really dim the conclusion of the movie much, either. It's a violent, graphic, bold, and pretty fucked up movie. I say it's a good watch if you're into that sort of thing.
