I want to see Arnold play a super Nazi. The makers of Iron Sky should have scooped him up.
Posted by swarez on January 24th, 2011No discussion of the Lethal Weapon reboot?
Posted by rjdelight on January 24th, 2011Rooney Mara’s look is based on Yolandi Visser’s look, from the South African band Die Antwoord. There was talk that Fincher was thinking of casting her but I’m sure he was looking more at her appearance rather than her acting ability.
Posted by swarez on January 24th, 2011I’m Scandinavian and I don’t have blonde pubes.
All the stuff you’s guys watch and none of you have seen any Reno 911???
Posted by Ledgewood on January 24th, 2011You should always check RT after you’ve seen the film. It’s way better.
Posted by rjdelight on January 24th, 2011I use the iCollect Movies app to track all of my films. It works on your iPod and/or iPhone and you can scan barcodes using the camera. It takes in all of the IMDB and RT ratings (all adjustable by the user) plus codec info and all kinds of stuff and allows you to mark things as loaned out as well. You can sync it with the icollectmedia.com website too. It certainly helps having it on my iPod so when I’m out I don’t end up purchasing somethign I already own, plus you can keep a wishlist for specific things you are looking for.
Been using it for about a year now and it’s pretty awesome and I only have about 300 movies, so for guys like you with more, it will probably be even more useful.
Damn, that sounded like an ad; no I don’t work for the company.
Posted by KeithTalent on January 24th, 2011I seemed confused on the show, but I did actually wait until after watching Buried to check any reviews.
Posted by Frank on January 24th, 2011I think I have a pretty balanced top shelf in my DVD collection, a pretty fair representation of what’s to follow. I start with the numbered titles and have TV stuff mixed in, so right away I have 28 Days Later, Seasons 1-4 of 30 Rock, 40-Year Old Virgin, 300, and the Alien films. Also scattered throughout that first row, I have Anchorman, As Good As It Gets, Auto Focus (the Greg Kinnear movie where he plays Bob Crane), Bad Santa, BASEketball, the Batmans, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, The Ben Stiller Show (his early 90’s Fox series), Black Dynamite, Boogie Nights (all time favorite), Borat, the Bournes, Bubba-Ho-Tep, Chicken Run, and The Color of Money, and others.
Also, I’ve worked on several films in the Pittsburgh, PA, area in the last couple of years, so my DVD shelves are flanked by posters for those movies. I manage a movie theater, so it’s easy to get those when they come in, as I could never see myself spending money on most of them. So far, those include Love and Other Drugs, Next Three Days, Unstoppable (I have a couple of funny Tony Scott anecdotes that I might talk about in an e-mail), and the least gayest poster I could find for I Am Number Four. When people come over, I hope the theme of the posters makes sense, because I really don’t want to have to EXPLAIN the Taylor Lautner poster that will probably be up there in a few months (I was an extra and also Jason Isaacs’ body double in the upcoming Abduction). By then, I’ll also have the poster for Katherine Heigl’s One for the Money, so maybe that will balance out. Maybe…

Just bought the iCollect Movies Pro for my iPhone and I LOVE it. Thanks for the info.
I am going to catalog the shit out of my shit tonight.
Posted by Frank on January 24th, 2011It doesnt work.. Not on the site.. Not on Itunes.
Posted by Burgus on January 24th, 2011@Frank Yeah, something satisfying about having your entire catalogue in your hand. Glad you’re liking it.
I’ve never tried to sync online, so I have no idea how well that function works, but for everything else it’s awesome and very quick/easy.
By the way, Face Huggers was freaking awesome; definitely needs to be added to the FJ glossary.
Posted by KeithTalent on January 24th, 2011I was already able to add a movie with the bar code scan, upload it to the website and share my collection with Dwy.
Everything I could want.
Posted by Frank on January 24th, 2011G: “Facehuggers?”
J: “Have you seen Aliens?”
G: “Yeah.”
J: “What, are you a fucking retard?”
Beautiful. (Sorry, Gerg.)
I also laughed at the Pawn Stars impression.
Posted by Jay M on January 24th, 2011Reed trapped in a box for 90 min might be entertaining.
Posted by Xidor on January 24th, 2011It’s probably been 20 years since I’ve seen Aliens. I make no apologies for not picking up the term facehuggers right away.
Oh and Jay M? Spell my name correctly next time.
Posted by Greg on January 24th, 2011Gotta admit, when Frank said Buried ventured into Gerry territory a few times I too thought of the time when Reed was on the podcast and didn’t talk for five minutes.
Posted by rjdelight on January 24th, 2011Frank is so hardcore about DVD collecting. I love it!!
Posted by rjdelight on January 24th, 2011Why do you need to question whether or not they’ll be an Oscar special? Isn’t this a given, it’s a filmjunk tradition! Oh and Jay, you better take Judd Apatow up on that tweet, about how he said he would “Love to post about your” doc. The world needs to see Beauty Day.
(God three posts in a row. My bad, but I keep thinking of things while I’m listening)
Posted by rjdelight on January 25th, 2011Quit complaining, Gerg.
Posted by Jason Martynowski on January 25th, 2011Quentin Dupieux is aka weirdo electronic musician/puppeteer Mr. Oizo! Come on, I thought you guys would be all over his work. Flat Eric ring a bell? I’d think particularly Jay would love the short “promo” film for his latest album, Making Lambs Anger (look it up). I can’t wait to see Rubber… if you get his sense of humor and aesthetic at all you’ll probably understand why this is making people so orgasmic.
Posted by Miike on January 25th, 2011@Xidor (and rjdelight): Coincidentally, I happen to be reading a book called “The Survivors Club – The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life.” So far, there hasn’t been any discussion about what to do about being buried alive. One interesting thing: if you’re inside a plane that’s crashed and is on fire, you have about 90 seconds to get out. The key is not to panic, but also not to waste any time in shock. When escaping from a plane, I find it strange that many people actually leave their spouse and kids behind!
Posted by Reed Farrington on January 26th, 2011You know you want to see a movie with this poster:

(RUBBER)
Posted by Kurt on January 26th, 2011I know I am late to the party, but I just finished listening to the podcast. Since they’ve been on Encore this month, I too have recently been reacquainted with the first four Police Academy films and unlike Dirrrty Frank, I laughed at loud genuinely at MANY moments…
* Mauser’s shaved eyebrows
* Zed wanting to stay in the tear-gas shed
* Mahoney switching Mauser’s shampoo with superglue and the ensuing consequences
Just to name a few
Posted by projectgenesis on January 28th, 2011Reed,
Posted by Xidor on January 28th, 2011If you were trapped in a coffin, what S.T. memorabilia would you take with you? There isn’t much space, so you would have to pick carefully. And when they dig you up, this is how you will be remembered.
@Xidor: If I were trapped in a coffin, I seriously wouldn’t take any of my Star Trek memorabilia with me. None of it is precious to me. If I had a Star Trek cellphone, I would take that, of course. But if I were to answer your question in the spirit I think you are asking, that is, what Star Trek memorabilia do I treasure the most, then, um, I still can’t come up with an answer.
Posted by Reed Farrington on January 29th, 2011Thanks so much to the dude with the answer to last weeks name that movie question! Remote Control! Finally, I can rewatch the movie after 20 years, and Kevin Dillion? Sweet!!
