well, i think we should just go with the flow but keep it interesting...no stagnation.

by that i mean this: do Z&M, then do Night of the Living Dead (the original), then do Alice in Wonderland (the Depp version), then do Casablanca, then do Gimme Shelter (how often do you see a real murder in a movie?) see what i mean??

See...there are some divisive ass flicks. Alice in Wonderland(burton), Battlefield Earth...that is what I am talking about...watchable movies that people are going to have a FULL range of emotions over.

So basically watchable crap?

Seriously, I hear what you peeps are saying.

Battlefield Earth?

Who could possibly disagree on that one?

Oh I could...honestly. And I think you will find that I am not alone.

Haha! Maybe we should begin a book/movie club with Battlefield Earth as our first selection.

Orphy will bring the Popov! :D

Controversial films would definitely make this a little more lively, but I have my doubts about the level of participation if we go, say Battlefield Earth and such. I don't think a lot of people are going to bother to watch it.
