I'm listening to Ron and Fez on the radio, and they just asked a question that totally made me giggle.

What movie would they be showing in your Hell?

If I went to Hell, and they shoved me into the movie theater, House of 1000 Corpses would be playing on a continuous loop. And just for good measure, Kenneth Turan from the LA Times would sit next to me and talk about film, and I'd have to agree with every bloody thing he said.

I'd go nuts in less than ten minutes. Five if I had to share my popcorn with the moron.

EDIT: Ooo, and like Ron just said ... Pay It Forward. Damn, did that movie make me want to bash my head in with a plank of wood. The good part was, I could have used Haley Joel Osment's performance.

SON OF EDIT: Ron and Fez are interviewing a guy from Move Ahead America about their attempts to get American theaters not to show "Fahrenheit 9/11". I'll give him credit ... when he's not getting really into his points (when he starts to ramble a bit condescendingly), he's making a good argument for his side.

NAUGHTY MISTRESS OF EDIT: Okay, he really needs to make blaming Michael Moore for everything ever, 'cause otherwise his argument's not bad.

Gone With The Wind (or Barry Lyndon, but they are so close anyway...)

Not From Justin to Kelly with Captain Asshat?

I was going to say Blair Witch in my own Hell... but I think they'd find a way to run a double-feature of it and From Justin To Kelly...

Wow. I can't imagine what "good" excuse anyone could give to censor another person's film that way. If he doesn't like the movie, he can simply vote with his feet and not go to the theater to see it. Doing anything else is kinda, you know, UnAmerican. I do wish someone would point out to these guys waving the AMerican flag around that suppressing the opinions of someone they happen to disagree with and not allowing anyone else to hear those opinions is about as UnAmerican as you can get. And that's something both the Far Right and the Far Left are guilty of. Please tell us what the guy said!

I think what appealed to me (although I agree with you, of course) is that the way he put it was that he wasn't trying to censor the film, but rather to persuade the theater owners not to show it. Which, okay, if it were any other controversial movie, I'm behind anyone's right to protest. Hell, Michael Moore's right to free speech and his right to protest are just as equal.

Having said that, the guy did get a bit vehement when Ron and Fez would call him on simple basic points. When they asked him if he'd even seen the movie, he said he'd seen parts of it. (And quite frankly, the parts he described sounded like they were right out of the trailer.) And like I said, he'd start acting like a taunting 13-year-old the second Michael Moore's name would come up.

I did like the fact that after the interview, most of the response was against him, who all thought he was getting his info wrong. (Which, to be honest, he was at some points). My personal favorite was this elderly lady who called up, sweetly complimented Ron and Fez's show, then said that the man had told a fib and she wasn't about to let him get away with it. (He'd said that Michael Moore's assertion that Bush had shipped out the bin Ladin family on 9/11 was crap and that Richard Clark did it, but the little old lady said he testifid that the order came from higher up at the 9/11 hearings.) She was incredibly cute. :)

Howdy!
I must interrupt this post to tell you how envious I am that you have Ron & Fez! My mis-spent youth took place in central Florida listening to "WJRR" which stood for Just Ron And Ron (as they were known back then). Fez was the fantastic sideman and it was the ONLY funny morning show I've ever heard. Probably around 8 years ago one of the Rons' wife died (from AIDS, if I remember correctly) and Ron & Fez's tribute show that morning was the most powerful radio I've ever heard.

Our local radio sucks. I'd looooooove to have Ron & Fez!

Heh. Protesting a film doesn't mean you make it impossible for anyone else to see it or hear it. This is exactly like the idiot students who make so much noise, they drown out the voices of right-wing speakers who have been invited to speak at their college, under the guise of (their own) freedom of speech. Preventing another from voicing his opinion is NOT freedom of speech; never has been, never will be. This guy is obviously trying to censor the film, he's just putting a nice little uber-PC spin on it.

The Halle Berry film festival with Event Horizon and Timeline playing in between.

That's moviefan hell for me.

*twitch twitch twitch*

My movie hell would not involve an actual movie. Oh, no.. not really.

It would involve the Catwoman trailer.

Over. And over. And over.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

I can't believe no one's said this already.

Gigli, and then Catwoman when it comes out, interspersed with ANY FUCKING MEG RYAN/TOM HANKS SACCHARINE CHIKFLIK FUCKERY and of course all 17 hours of Meet Joe Black.

Hell is not other people. Hell is Nora Ephron with a side order of puréed Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

The hell movie for me would be 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'. Michael Caine must have needed beer money. Steve Martin was annoying and the plot was dumber then a bag of hammers.

In my hell, it would definitely have to be...

[finnystix.livejournal.com]

House on Haunted Hill. Even the mere mention of this movie makes me want to kill myself five times.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

I can't be sure of this, but I suspect it would be Battlefield: Earth.

Doesn't help that I read the book, so I would have two terrible things at work: both an absolutely ghastly movie, and a bad novel-to-film adaption.

"Goin' South" with Jack Nicholson. One of only two movies I've ever walked out of. I mean, most bad movies have something going for them - bare skin or good cinematography, or just snark potential. But not this one. Ugh. Bottom of the barrel. Unlike "The Bloodsuckers", which has an "orgy" scene of two people shot with a dragonfly-eye lens (Peter MacNee), you can't use it for cheap laughs. It's just....gross.

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

"Meet Joe Black" plays endlessly in hell.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

So, only the once, then?

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

I believe that is the case.

Vanilla Sky, continuous loop. Ugh. My ass actually fell asleep in the theater, and that never happens.
