Movieing On #329: Dark Star

 Roy Neary, an electric lineman, watches how his quiet and ordinary daily life turns upside down after a close encounter with a UFO. Meanwhile, Breki, Nancy and Linnea watch him watching it all. It gets very meta once you consider that you're listening to what we thought about watching the man watching his life turning upside down.

 Sorry for the delay here! There was a hick-up in the publication process that made everything look like it was published, but it just didn't appear on the site or in the feeds. We've found and fixed the problem, though, so this shouldn't keep happening. Edit: And if that wasn't enough, turns out the audio file was broken all along. >.< ... Fixed version has now replaced the original! Sorry! Show notes and links: Sliding Doors (1998) - IMDb (imdb.com)

 This week, we check out that lovely little 90s comedy called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There are plenty of lies in that previous sentence, as the movie is neither lovely, little nor a comedy.

 Before we had the Iron Giant, Iron Will or Iron Man, we had another Iron hero to look up to. Today, we sit back and spend ninety minutes of movie magic with the original Iron hero, namely Iron Monkey. Show notes and links: Siu nin Wong Fei Hung chi: Tit ma lau (1993) (imdb.com) The movie.

 A movie so good it's been made five times. We've watched the fourth, perhaps the most popular of the versions, and we have opinions. What are those opinions? Well, why don't you listen to the show instead of me telling you? I mean, ... I don't want there to be any spoilers in the description... Eh? Eh? See, it's funny, because the movie's ... the title of the movie... Oh, never mind. Show notes and links: The Spoilers (1942) - IMDb (imdb.com) 

Movieing On #321: The Spoilers (1942)

 In July of 1980, Roger Ebert felt he had seen enough movies to qualify his review for The Blue Lagoon by stating that ""The Blue Lagoon is the dumbest movie of the year", and in this week's episode, the gang find it quite hard to argue against that assessment - and to his observation that, quote, "every third shot in this movie seems to be showing a parrot's reaction to something".

 "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". Everybody knows the quote, but it's surprising how few have read the book or seen the movie based on it. We have. Why haven't you?

Movieing On #319: Animal Farm (1954)

 Most Disney movies try to teach us something - an important life lesson, as it were. Sometimes it's quite surface-level, sometimes it's profound and intelligent. In this week's movie, we learn that it's important to have lofty ambitions and avenge your father's death by performing the death-defying stunt that he died trying to perform. ... Sorry, let me correct that. It's important to try to perform the death-defying stunt. It doesn't really matter if you succeed or not, it's just important that you wanted to and that you probably could have had things turned out differently or something.

 This week, the gang has a misadventure in the Australian Outback and find themselves walking aimlessly, looking for civilization... Or at least some kind of a plot or subtlety in the message, at least. Anything would be better than this, right?

 A few weeks ago, we talked about the Tom Hanks movie Sleepless in Seattle. In it, the movie An Affair to Remember appears in the background several times. So we figured, hey; why not watch that for Valentine's day? So we did. Show notes and links: An Affair to Remember (1957) (imdb.com)
