Is there anybody out there? Is there anyone…at all?
Blame GTA IV for my absence…I don’t know what the rest of these jerks have been up to.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
phil: The Fight Club of the 70s.
will: As much as I love Malcolm McDowell’s acting I’ll never forgive his white jumpsuit. It’s burned into my eyes like Hitler is burned into his. I wish real life had milk bars.
paul: Most well-choreographed braining scene of Kubrick’s film career. And since the victim is a British oaf, you don’t feel sympathy!
scott: Darth Vader is in this movie, only this time around, he’s slightly less imposing. Or slightly more, depending on your attitude towards short shorts.
Alien (1979)
phil: Am I the only person who finds it weird that the androids in these movies bleed a semen-like fluid?
will: This movie rules. Also, if I could go back in time, I’m 99% sure I would have a son who is older than me and whose last name is Weaver. That’s my weird way of saying that Sigourney is ridiculously hot. Giant curly mullet and all.
paul: I don’t watch this movie for the alien, more for Sigorney Weaver’s paper-thin panties in the final bit. Hoorah!
scott: If you showed this movie to Sigmund Freud, his beard would burst into flame, and he’d spin around like a top, digging himself underground while making whooping noises.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
phil: The There Will Be Blood of the late 40s.
will: I heard that the treasure is actually just a crappy old baseball glove. Wait, that’s Casper starring Christiana Ricci.
paul: Bogey does his proto-Indiana Jones, except in this version, Indy is mad, MAD for gold! GOLD I TELLS YA!! *shoots old men*
scott: I bet if you found a treasure in current times, it would either be seized by the government under some stupid land law or would be taxed into oblivion. I yearn for the days when a pocket full of One Eyed Willy’s jewels was enough to save the family homestead and you could live happily ever after with a deformed retard.
Laberinto del fauno, El (2006)
phil: At last a fantasy movie for nerdy commies.
will: How is this ahead of the other movie about Labyrinths? I forget the name of it but I think it had David Bowie in it. You know, the one where Jennifer Connelly is in a labyrinth of some sort. What is that movie called? Argh, never mind. It’ll come to me.
paul: For a film based on so much ancient mythology, there isn’t nearly enough animal-fucking…
scott: La la la la what a sweet tale of childhoo–BOTTLE TO FACE!!! Horrifying, just horrifying.
The Shining (1980)
phil: Scatman Crothers = best Magic Negro of all time.
will: All Kubrick and no editing makes film a very dull time.
paul: The one Stephen King story that doesn’t have inherent, gratuitous scrotal shrinkage. Good thing Kubrick adds it in himself, so you don’t feel like you’re missing anything.
scott: I call this movie “My Plan for Retirement,” minus Shelley Duvall, because yikes.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
phil: I don’t ‘get’ foreign movies. People on IMDB are so pretentious!
will: There’s just something so magical about a movie winning an Oscar when its genre is known by most people as a place to see a giant tentacle rape a girl. Thanks, anime! See also: Drama, Comedy, Foreign, and Musical. Then again, I could be biased… maybe I should stop exclusively watching movies like “Million Dollar Tendril” and “Grease(d Octopus Leg)” so I have a bit more perspective on film in general.
paul: For a film based on so much ancient Japanese mythology, there isn’t nearly enough shit-demon fucking…
scott: I will choose to associate Japan with their awesome vending machines where used panties are just a few coins away rather than…wait, why did I choose that?
The Pianist (2002)
phil: Contrary to popular belief, Adrien Brody is NOT Jewish. Gosh, you people & your stereotypes!
will: You know what the name of this movie sounds like? Do you? Oh man, you totally do. I don’t even need to say it. Oh, I’m going to say it anyway! LABYRINTH!! THAT was the movie I was thinking of earlier. God, that feels good! What was I talking about again?
paul: Hint: whenever you see Adrien Brody playing the piano in this movie, think of Roman Polanski stroking his member. This film is a big metaphor for ego-masturbation. Oh, and the Nazis are the big, bad American lawmen who seek to bring his statutory-raping cock to justice.
scott: I tried to see this movie four times, but could never say the title without giggling like an immature twat. Which I do often.
Double Indemnity (1944)
phil: It’s a fact that all the essential film noir [co-]stars Edward G. Robinson.
will: The Penis. I was talking about The Penis. What is Double Indemnity, anyway?
paul: Fred MacMurray’s eyebrows in this film noir are like Jesus popping up during the Superbowl… It’s really just icing on the cake.
scott: Your double indemnity wasn’t enough to protect you from the Spoilerist! Wait, 1944? Oh, you’re all dead. Never mind.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
phil: There is no movie that is more annoyingly overquoted than this.
will: There was this kid who sat in front of me in one of my English classes who quoted this film at least once a day, directly to me, in a scratchy, noisy falsetto voice, for an entire school year. I almost hated British people forever for subjecting me to that torture via him. Then I got my head on straight and realized who I should actually hate: the terrorists.
paul: Finally, a movie shows that even the greatest legend in Western civilization is covered up in shit-strewn, diseased peasantry. But this one is more of a documentary on how to make an historical epic. For real Arthurian comedy, watch First Knight (1995).
scott: I can’t say anything about this movie that I didn’t already say in a slightly higher-pitched voice back when I was fifteen.
Forrest Gump (1994)
phil: I hear that this was loosely based on the memoirs of George W. Bush.
will: More like “Snorest Dump!” Get it? Because it’s boring and shit? Oh, never mind. TOM HANKS! (more like Bum Wanks, am I right?)
paul: Only a retard is successful in America. This movie IS historical fact.
scott: Clearly Forrest Gump was a high ranking member of the Illuminati with a very hands-on approach. Hopefully this post makes it to the Internet so the truth can be known.

As apt a review as I’ve read…also: surprisingly accurate encapsulation of my own childhood.
