I am totally loving my "Xanadu" and "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" VHS tapes. They make me feel really discolike.

cheebacheeba 05-13-2006 05:35 PM

A game called 10,000 Bullets which is going back on account of being a hybrid of max payne, and devil may cry, but totally boring.

I have Xanadu on VHS too! I don't know why I like it really because it's a horrible movie but for some reason I watch it like every week......maybe it's because I don't have cable anymore....

filmmaker2 05-13-2006 07:50 PM

I don't think Xanadu is a horrible movie at all! It's a musical--musicals are often kind of shallow and glitzy with a head-in-the-clouds mentality. It's all about the singing and the dancing.

What I think sets this one apart is that it features Gene Kelly, and there is that past-meets-present theme going on. Brightly colored early punk rock costumes and bondage imagery, clashing (or is it harmonizing?) with Big Band style. It's not just a little weird--it's REEEEEEAAAAALLLY WEIRD. It's probably the strangest movie to come out of the early 80's, I figure.

(Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones from the "Breakin'" films is one of the featured dancers, and that too is a plus.)

Miss Olivia 05-13-2006 08:23 PM

Well, I mainly refer to the acting. The male lead makes rocks look more talented. I used to watch this movie when I was a kid and for years I thought he was Andy Gibb....you know, the little Bee Gee brother....like I said though, it's addictive. The rock-big band merger was a really cool idea.

filmmaker2 05-14-2006 01:14 AM

Well, after watching Michael Beck's performance a couple of times, I'm convinced he is playing a sort of a messed-up, slightly unhinged, unstable artist type. That's why he seems so nervous all the time...character is unhappy internally from the beginning, even before he runs into the Muse character. (I especially like the freaky moment when he quits his job...he goes into work and screams "I'm FIRED!" at his boss. The character is nuttier than a fruitcake!)

And the scariest thing about Horror.com at this moment is that we are having a discussion about the film "Xanadu."

Mondo Violence is.....
.....and this.

Haven't checked it out yet so I'll let you know. Not expecting too much from it. I'd say it'd be the usual animal killings and faked shit but there's usually one scene in this things that make you go :eek:

I mainly brought this to sell it on cause they fetch pretty decent prices. The Killing of America has been the only decent one of these type of movies I've seen..... great documentry kinda an extreme Bowling For Columbine.

i
i have this film just because the Tubes are in it (the band that merged with Gene Kelly)

other than that - i do think it's pretty bad.

Filmmaker .. you'll think this is interesting .. my copy is on the laserdisc label that made the 1st lasers ... damned if i can think of it .. i have about 60 titles .. most have laserrot but thay're still highly collectable..

filmmaker2 05-16-2006 07:40 AM

Would that be like RCA Selectavision or something like that? Does it have those weird animated cards on each side that say "SIDE 1" with all the ones and "SIDE 2" with all the twos, as if you needed that to figure it out? (Gee, this is the beginning of the movie, so it's PROBABLY Side 1; or, this side starts in the middle of the movie, so it's PROBABLY Side 2...)

I have several discs that have started to get rot, and really, it's freakin' sad.

Well Im not a big fan of buying DVDs over the net, but I finally broke down and bought a movie that Ive been wating to see for a very long time.

Tod Browning's Freaks. You have no idea how excited I am to get this film.

Tod Browning's Freaks.

How come? I get a bunch of VHS and DVD thru the net because I'm living in a smaller town at the moment that doesn't have the selection.

Freaks is a fantastic film. See it on the big screen if you get a chance, I saw a newly restored print awhiles back at a festival that was amazing. Defintatley one of my favorites of the classic era.

Two reasons: Im really impatient, and I dont have a credit card/Paypal account of my own. The last one is the main reason, I need to borrow money from my parents for everything I want to buy. I'd much rather just go to Futureshop or CD Plus and buy a DVD myself, that way I'm not in debt, plus I can watch the movie as soon as I buy it, as opposed to waiting a month for shipping. Another minor thing is Im paranoid about quality...just because a seller claims the item is in good condition, how can I know for sure?

Despite all this, I do end up buying a movie over the internet every couple months...but I try to avoid it if possible.

yeh I hear ya on the impatient thing, sucks parting with your money then waiting months for shit to arrive. I usually make deposits into people's accounts over here no credit card/paypal dramas and a few places and people I deal with use overnight courier so the wait isn't that long.
....and the condition thing is a bit of a worry at times especially when purchasing VHS. I haven't had to bad of a run tho the Men Behind The Sun tape I got the other day ended up being totally fucked but it cost like a dollar so whatever.... I'll put the original cover on my dub.

laser rot occurs when the glue that holds the 2 discs together becomes contaminted resulting in speckling of the picture .. sometimes minor - but in the worst cases it renders the disc unwatchable.

all discs - including DVDs are really 2 discs glued together.
i hear some DVDs suffer from this as well..

i dont mind buying them within canada but i wont buy them from the USA anymore.
3-4 out of every 10 go missing.

when i was buying laserdiscs - not one would get ripped off (because no one has a player and they are too big to steal ..
but DVDs and CDs are easy to rip off so it happens all the time.

i just saw that someone sold on ebay - the rarest laserdisc of all times ..

a Discovision of Jaque Cousto - some whale special.

only one thought to be in existance ... another one was unearthed and sold for $1200.00

(a few years ago it would have gone for a lot more than that)

i saw another one sell (one that i have) for a little over $50

1st gen mostly, a problem that was fixed quickly supposedly but only time will tell.

I've had only one problem buying movies over the net (I pretty much only use Deepdiscountdvd now) and that was the fact the a disc came out and got some minor scratches during shipping. Was quickly sent another copy, not too bad. Planning on buying another small lot tonight...

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (2DISC)
SEVEN (PLATNIUM SERIES)
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (Special Edition)
TRUE ROMANCE (2DISC/SE)
ENTER THE DRAGON (SE)(WS)(2D)
SCRUBS-3RD SEASON
LE DERNIER COMBAT
SPIDER

All but 3 are $10.38, two are $5.98, and Scrubs is like $27.00.
