Also if you like Boondock Saints, have you seen Overnight?
I suspect that's where bonny's dislike of Troy Duffy came from, unless it was from personal experience (and i have no reason to believe that).
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So, currently at the house I have Firemen's Ball, Disc 2 of Neverwhere and Perfume.
I have heard that people say there are underlying messages in Fireman's Ball having to do with the Soviet takeover of Czechoslovakia, though Forman denies it, and I was wondering if anyone knows what I should be looking for.

I just read the Wired article about Troll 2 this morning. And it was from over a month ago.

The Italian film fest continues. After seeing Vincere in theaters (amazing performance by Giovanna Mezzogiorno as Mussolini's mistress/wife), I Netflixed Buongiorno, notte, an earlier film of Bellocchio about the Aldo Moro kidnapping. I was happy to have seen it before renting Il divo, since the Moro kidnapping is referenced several times.
I highly recommend both, Il divo in particular, which makes some very interesting stylistic and musical choices. At one point, I almost felt sorry for the bastard. And the opening few minutes are very cool.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched The Hangover. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Apart from a few amusing lines here and there, it wasn't all that funny.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was really appalled at what happened to the groom. I couldn't get over that and after I learned where he was the whole time, that cast a shadow over the rest of the movie. I mean, damn.

I nodded off during important plot development, so I'm not really sure what happened to him, and I didn't care enough to rewind. The tone of the movie was completely not what I was expecting. I thought it would be more of a wacky romp, and instead it was sort of dull.
