The Return Of Rothkoid
17:24 / 19.11.02
Enter The Dagon
Bruce Lee goes undercover at an eldritch/blasphemous swapmeet. Lots of arsekicking ensues, and Lee spends most of the film wondering why he can't get that fishy smell off his fists of death.

Don't Look Back To The Future - Very short film in which Bob Dylan's cue card dropping performance of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is cut short when a time hopping Delorean containing Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd runs him down.

Bring On The Night Of The Living Dead - What promises to be a rather dull documentary of Sting doing Jazz is enlived when the music transforms listeners into flesh-eating zombies. Viewers are urged to bring ear-plugs.
 
 
William Sack
10:28 / 21.11.02
Reefer Madness of King George

Intriguing new perspective on George III's eccentric behaviour.

21:26 / 23.11.02
Y Tu Big Mama From the Train: Billy Crystal and Danny deVito are on a roadtrip across Mexico when they pick up a hitchhiking Martin Lawrence in drag. A slapstick love triangle results which ends only when Martin jumps out of the car waving a gun. Well, wouldn't you?

JFK-9: DA Jim Garrison employs the help of a lovable pooch to find the third gunman.

8 Crazy Mile: Eminem dyes his hair black to pass for Jewish in this animated romp.

Spirited Far & Away: It doesn't really matter what the plot of this would be, as long as at some point it devolved into a hentai starring Nicole Kidman doing all the freak-nasty shit she should have done in Eyes Wide Shut.

E.T.A.I.: A precious android boy finds an adorable alien refugee. It's not until the third reel that anyone begins to guess that Spielberg's been wiping his ass on celluloid, but by then the audience has gone into insulin shock.

...and of course in going throught his thread afterwards I find that I've already done one blending Far and Away with Spirited Away. This one's better, though. Plus I did one using Throw Momma From the Train. You realize you're an alcoholic when you repeat yourself. You realize you're an alcoholic when you repeat yourself. Oh dammit dammit goddammit...

Point Breaker Morant

Keanu goes undercover during the Boer war to discover why three Australian officers killed Boer prisoners. Discovers it was under orders. Convicted with the others he escapes from firing squad by making anachronistic dive out of plane attached to Edward Woodward.

No Patrick Swayze is what makes this special.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
04:04 / 26.11.02
An Officer And A Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Musical drama. "Two little blondes from Little Rock" join the Navy Flight School and discover that diamonds are a bit thin on the ground. Except for the one Gere's mate bought before he offed himself, that is. Soundtrack not Hoagy Carmichael's finest hour.
 
 
The Strobe
11:19 / 26.11.02
Ghost: the Way of the Samurai

Patrick Swayze stars as a largely ineffective dead hitman, who lives his life according to the samurai code, when he's not making pots. The irony of a dead killer is strong, but the fact he can't kill anybody sucks a bit. The fact he can't really act sucks more. Original, urban score by Kenny Loggins.

Has anyone done The Unbearable Lightness of Being John Malkovich yet?
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
12:05 / 26.11.02

The Strobe
12:17 / 26.11.02
Charly's Angels
Charly, a simple man made intelligent by scientific experiment, is called upon to head up a crack unit of female, um, action-secret-porn-agents. But in the middle of a crucial mission, he finds his new found intelligence begins to fail, just as it did to his mouse-friend Algernon - with terrible consequences for the girls.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
12:18 / 26.11.02
Butch Cassidy and the Karate Kid
A spirited tale of bankrobbing in Western times, while trying to grow up and not get the crap kicked out of you. Watch for Robert Redford's stagecoach-waxing scenes. Pat Morita sports a lovely pair of chaps.

The Lord Of the Ring
A rag-tag bunch of adventurers are entrusted with The One Tape. They journey to the Crack or Doom to find a VCR to watch it in, only to discover that it'll kill them a week later. Dying, Frodo wonders why he just didn't give the fucking thing to Gollum after all.
 
 
Ex

Presidents Bob & Doug need only be supplied with as much beer as they can drink to look the other way. Hilarity ensues when they drink Pryor into the poorhouse. Guffaw.
