That reminds me, I sort of wanted to see The Dead Girl.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

The one out by the railroad tracks?

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

You can be Chris, I'll be Teddy. Nick is Gordie, obv.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't get it. I'm talking about the new Karen Moncrieff movie, with Brittany Murphy.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Come on, somebody has to get that reference. Help me out, people.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Btw, am I an idiot because I didn't realize that there was a new Spider-Man movie this year?

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

jaymc is becoming the american tuomas.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i got the reference kenan.

i really hate the lack of xpost notifcation.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

even i get the reference, but i don't remember characters' names. (if i'm right)

that seemed like everyones' favorite movie in junior high.

me too.

Is it a reference to that River Phoenix movie? Stand by Me or whatever? (I always get it confused with Lean on Me and Stand and Deliver. Although I guess I know that Stand and Deliver is the Edward James Olmos teaching-math-in-East-L.A. movie.)

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll play the dead kid.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

in either movie.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

If I were at all bad-ass I'd be Kiefer Sutherland's character.

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I also get it confused with The River's Edge.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless there is a freakishly large character I'm forgetting about.

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

The River Phoenix's Edge

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesus.

Stand by Me (1986) = kids find a dead body
The River's Edge (1989) = kids find a dead body
Stand and Deliver (1988) = inner-city school shapes up via charismatic teacher
Lean on Me (1989) = inner-city school shapes up via charmismatic principal

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoops, River's Edge is also 1986.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

NB I have not seen any of these movies.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Update: pre-game beerz & dinner here if anyone cares, which is probably not the case - http://jakstap.com/

Based on an actual incident in Northern California, Tim Hunter's controversial indie addresses the growing alienation and moral vacancy among youths growing up in drug-oriented and media-saturated society; Keanu Reeves is perfectly cast.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

there was some junior high yearbook thing asking people's favorite movie, and EVERYONE seemed to say stand by me. i'd probably listed young frankenstein or amadeus or something.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Amadeus was handily my favorite movie when I was a kid.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

The River's Edge (1989) = kids find a dead body

Actually, kid kills his girlfriend, leaves her by the river, then invites his friends to come look at the body while no one thinks to call the cops.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been to Jak's Tap.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Those little sneaks at BPAL! I got an email almost two weeks ago that my order was received and shipping, but it never arrived so I got worried. Now it seems it only went into the post YESTERDAY, which was right after I asked them why it was taking so long. So my package was just sitting around somewhere until I nagged about it. I AM EXCITED AND IMP-ATIENT, I WANT GOOD SMELLS!! Plus it's just incompetent.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i made my roommate watch amadeus a while ago, and she was commenting on the costumes--apparently it's common with period films for the costumes to reflect not only the period portrayed, but also the fashion of the time that it was filmed. this happens especially with the main character (it makes the main character more relatable to audiences). and it was true--tom hulce's hair was very 1980's.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i ordered more records this weekend and got confirmation from both places only to get an email sunday night saying one of the 7"s i wanted "is no longer available and will be taken out of our database". i just checked and they're still offering it for sale.

pricks.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds just like the situation I went through with the Apple website and that iPod radio I ordered. UPDATE YOUR SITES PEOPLE, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST IT"S THE NEW MILLENIUM

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

The River's Edge is worth watching solely for Crispin Glover's FUCKING INSANE performance. Totally nuts. Makes Dennis Hopper's performance as a crazy one-legged man seem restrained in comparison.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I think I had that movie on VHS somewhere because my brother loved it and had taped it off TV. But it's probably lost to the sands of time by now.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

ah ha

sigh.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Take her, dude.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

HEY YOU. GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF HER.

Yet another movie I have not seen

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

i got the thin man too (haven't seen it either)

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I got Rubin from Rubin & Ed, which I haven't seen.

You guys haven't seen Charlie's Angels?

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

"smokes like a chimey"

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope!

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

*cough*

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

You probably got that cough from smoking like a chimey.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

River's Edge is pretty incredible.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

When I shockingly found myself face-to-face with Crispin a couple years ago, I wanted to stike a Layne pose and hiss "CLARISSSSSSSSA...!"
