Quick question though, aren't children's movies not allowed in the hunt? So many Christmas movies are made specifically for children. I want to include Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, but I'm not sure if it counts.
I take issue with the notion that this movie "completely overlooks the part where teenagers are functionally retarded and also happen to be really bad at sex". I'd say that it does a pretty great job of portraying teenagers EXACTLY like that. I do like this movie, though. It's the only thing Alan Ball has ever been involved in that I can sit through. PS Can I please nominate Towelhead?
Yeah, I gotta say, each point you brought up is one of the reasons why I love and recommend the show constantly. You never know what you're gonna get from week to week. Could be super hilarious, could be incredibly tense and dark, could be psychedelic, could be sweet and charming, or it could be all of the above. Its incredibly insightful and completely fearless. Louis CK has turned a weekly television series into a forum for short filmmaking. I love this show, and I wish everyone else did too. Sorry it doesn't grab you like it does me.
Please consider these movies for the hunt, Gabe. Thanks!
NEW YORK MINUTE starring The Olsen Twins
NINJA'S CREED aka Royal Kill with Eric Roberts, WWE "star" Gail Kim and Pat Morita (his final film performance)
2012 starring John Cusack
SAVING SILVERMAN with Jack Black, Amanda Peet and Jason Biggs
NORTH with Elijah Wood (read Ebert's review and tell me this movie isn't PERFECT. Its not technically a kids movie, either)
Agreed, there certainly has been plenty of FUCK-bombs dropped in music. But I have to admit, the first thing I thought of before I even heard this song, upon seeing the title, was Idiocracy. Just the notion that the most popular songs have titles like "Fuck You" or "Suck My Balls". By this logic, the most popular movie is soon going to be called "Ass". And that's all it is for 90 minutes. (Winner of Best Original Screenplay 2012).
Hope I'm not too late to the party, because I really want to share this clip with THE WHOLE WORLD! I went to high school with the son of this Father-Son duet team, no lie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_VWUIKWLj8
I'm sorry, no offense to this little girl, but FUCK America's Got Talent in its stupid fucking face. I can't fucking stand the way they try to create these "moments" where its preordained that the crowd is going to give some singer a standing ovation. It makes me literally sick (no Zoe). This little girl has a beautiful voice, but she is being sucked into the void that is Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel, Nick Cannon and Garbage America. I'm ashamed of all of us.
