'Jaynestown'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I have just seen the greatest movie ever made.
No, really.
The Apple is the movie that finally answers the question, "What would life in the far, far future of 1994 be like under a totalitarian disco regime?" And the related question, "Under such a regime, what would be the fate of two wholesome folk musicians from Moosejaw?"
There is music. There is dancing. There is shiny polyester. There is a monorail.
It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.
I think I need to see that movie.
Jessica, you're lying. No movie could possibly be that good.
Don't listen to her. Amazon pairs that movie with Freaks. That's gotta mean something.
There is a monorail.
Monorail! Monorail! MONORAIL!!!
Mono.... d'oh!
I heard about The Apple a while ago. It definitely sounds worth seeing.
There is a monorail.
Monorail! Monorail! MONORAIL!!!
MY MOTHER WAS A MONORAIL!
I've seen The Apple, or at least part of it.
:shudder:
It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.
It's also been making the rounds at theaters that still do midnight movies. I think it was at Coolidge Corner last weekend, in fact.
Of special interest: David Boreanaz's next role? and (Plei go SQUEE!) a Harold and Kumar sequel! Also, (all but three of us go GROOAN) a possible Unbreakable sequel?
