Recent Shitty Movie Rentals

I was listening to Theory of Everything yesterday or the day before and it opened with this girl talking about how she wanted to watch Buffalo '66 with her boyfriend, and he hated it so much that they got into a huge fight and he left. She watched it alone and loved it, and was enraptured with Gallo as a Real Authentic Artist, until she saw "This Song Was Written For Paris Hilton" and her world crumbled around her.


This anecdote has many data points that relate to Last Plane To Jakarta!

i don't know what theory of everything is, nor do i know what this song is written for paris hilton is, so that anecdote confuses me.

i can tell what i'm supposed to be getting from it, but i don't actually get it.

Hm. I guess I didn't explain myself very well. Theory of Everything is just a radio show, and "I Wrote This For The Girl Paris Hilton" (I got the title sort of wrong) is the first track on his solo album on Warp.

I fucking hated Buffalo 66.

It somehow made Buffalo, NY in the dead of winter look bleak and depressing.  My hat's off to Gallo for this cinematic feat.

I bought it used on VHS from Blockbuster back in high school.  I watched it a lot, but I think it was mostly cos of Christina Ricci.

i actually like that song, it's one of the few Gallo tunes that don't make me want to hit him with a brick in a handbag


btw: "i wrote this song for that girl Paris Hilton"

So, if this thread also includes movies my roommates rent using my freedom pass, I've got plenty of material.
Last night, I tried to watch House of D, but I had to turn it off halfway through because it was the corniest piece of sentimental crap that I've seen since...I don't know, Patch Adams. Or Return to Me.

The passion of the christ, biggest let down ever.

dude tell me about it. some peeps spoiled the ending for me.

You mean about the rapture, where all you sinners will be cast down to the depths of hell while I laugh and eat philadelphia cream cheese all day?

I was stoned and watched The Girl Next Door last night.  That was pretty terrible.
