i heard johnny depp was signed up and goin to do a Dali film.. anyone hear anything about that?

the film Taking Woodstock is coming out August 28. I got up there to shoot the mud scenes so hope i maybe get some seconds on screen, but regardless, it looks like it will be a fun film for the whole fam... cant wait til its out

Last March the New Zealand Herald reported that Depp was "auditioning screenwriters" for a Dali biopic.

I can\'t believe this hasn\'t been posed before:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439611/

or: (amazon)

http://www.amazon.com/Hofmanns-Potion-Pioneers-Nigel-Markham/dp/B0028YW3B0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252884878&sr=1-1

I think it is up on You Tube in six parts...

... part 1...

Anyway, it\'s a great documentary (an hour) about the history of ***. Basically it\'s a punch of old Canadian psychiatrists talking about their experiences, personal and clinical, with ***. Dr. Hofmann is in there too.

It has great scenery of Saskatchewan, BC, and the desert south west.

Since I know there is a large percentage of people here who have, or do, enjoy lysergic acid diethylamide, I am sure some of you will appreciate this movie.

FYI: If you have Dish network, it is currently showing (7-8pm, edt, 9/13) on channel 197, the documentary channel; it shows up there maybe once a quarter.

If you like Dazed and Confused, check out Over The Edge.  It\'s Matt Dillons first movie (he was 14).  It\'s basically the blue print for Dazed, and it has an awesome sound track.  You can stream it on Youtube.

The Devil\'s Rejects, House of 1,000 Corpses.
These are very funny comedies done by Rob Zombie.

Hmm OK as memories of a clicking cable box at a friends house come to mind, I really don\'t remember this movie being at all like Dazed and Confused.

Isn\'t it more of a drama? I remember the kids rioting and getting shot at or something like that.

Definitely more of a drama, and it ends in hardcore violence.  But there are so many similarities between the movie, it\'s crazy.  

Richard Linklater has even talked about how much the movie influenced D&C vibe article.  

The similarities:  
bored suburban teens
rampant drug use
a rec center
an awesome rock and roll sound track
they both share a great party scene
Dazed and Confused main character = Mitch Kramer, is a dead ringer for Over the Edge lead:  Carl, played by ummmm..... Micheal Kramer.

But yes, they\'re definitely different movies.  

Just saying, it\'s a movie worth revisiting... or seeking out (since it came out before most people on this board were born).

Capitalism: A Love Story

Documentary?
Director: Michael Moore
Starring: A bunch of capitalist pigs, and a few commie saints to refute them
The Lowdown: Moore uses bad-faith editing tricks to present another alarmist, partially fictionalized treatise on the evils of America, this time focusing on how Wall Street assholes raped your grandmother by issuing a mortgage they knew she couldn\'t pay -- this, after HMO assholes forced your grandfather to perform self-amputation, Army-general assholes railroaded your working-class brother into a war on Iraq, media assholes compelled your cousin to shoot up his school, corporate assholes sold your uncle\'s job to India and the president of GM himself -- also an asshole -- forced your aunt to skin her rabbits for food.
Predicted Ben Lyons Quote: "Easily the most truthful documentary ever made!"

The wonderful review left out Mr. Moores best movie; CANADIAN BACON!

Seriously, the guy should stop making mocumentaries and go back to what he is best at; self-mocking comedy.

Did you see the movie Tyzack?

I only saw the trailer but it looks like another highly entertaining (if not obviously from a socially and economically liberal point of view.... which I happen to usually agree with anyway) movie by a guy who\'s got pure balls and has basically made a career out of holding corporations to task when they do outrageous things at the expense or abuse of the average person.

It\'s so popular to bash Michael Moore than I often wonder if most haters have actually watched his films and created their own opinions?

Personally I love watching that fatass in a baseball cap try to sneak his way through security and get all up in some jackass CEO\'s face.

i saw bowling for columbine and i gotta admit, it\'s not what i expected. i was hoping for a hilarious bowling movie... kind of like kingpin.

I have seen all of his movies, and I plan on seeing this one. I think that he does a good job of making his audience think, mainly pulling on the "love for my fellow man" mixed with "common sense" strands.  I like that he doesn\'t claim to be something he isn\'t.

Politically, I agree with him, and I think he does a good job of being funny while telling a story with an obivous slant.

That quote was taken from a paragraph review of on an internet humor site.

My problem with Michael Moore is that I don\'t trust anything he says. I\'m sure that many of the points he has made in his documentaries are accurate and important, but which ones are they? He\'s the boy who cried "fascist".

the boy who cried fascist!!  Classic.

I totally agree.  

As a movie fan, I love what he does.  Roger and Me was my favorite documentary, up until I saw Man On Wire.

As someone who stands left of center... I\'m usually closer to his idea\'s then I am to those on the right.

However, he\'s good at what he does.  He\'s the liberal\'s Fox news.

[Spacey]

Man On Wire was a great documentary.

[bdfreetuna]

Right on Tyzack I\'m probably going to see this one in the theater when it comes out. Coming from someone who 99.9% of the time waits for DVD-rip torrents to catch a flick, well I don\'t know I think the guy gets bashed way too much and I don\'t think he\'s even really extreme in his views. Then again liberals and progressives were once labeled Communists in this country in the modern-century witch hunt known as the McCarthy era...

He\'s the liberal\'s Fox news.

While Michael Moore may select facts that make his documentaries more compelling, I haven\'t seen a fact on Fox "News" since their daily US Department of Homeland Security Fear... err, Terror Level Warnings.

Watch out it\'s orange! Michael Moore\'s new movie might just bump it up to red!

A more accurate comparison would be Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow vs Sean Hannity and Bill O\'Reilly. Except these liberal MSNBC primetime news hosts actually cover the news and take pride on being factual in doing so (although with more of a focus on issues that interest liberals like myself).

Sean Hannity and Bill O\'Reilly and whatever other clones I\'m glad to be mostly unaware of on Fox News are true mockeries of the honorable profession of journalism. Facts be damned, let\'s get Ann Coulter on here to talk shit about Hillary for an hour...

If I actually want to learn something I watch BBC World News or PBS News Hour or I listen to WAMC Public Radio out of Albany. If I want to see what retarded shit facists are currently up to I\'ll just fire up Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

Point of this post long forgotten...
