Don't Miss Lists

These are movies and music that my local library just got and that I've put on hold or not.

Movies

Cold Souls - This is a movie about Paul Giamatti giving his soul to a company but "complications ensue when his soul gets lost... The film then follows Giamatti desperately trying to find his soul." Sound familiar? It's almost the exact plot to my favorite Simpsons episode, "Bart Sells His Soul".





How to Stuff a Wild Bikini - Hey!, an opportunity to listen to Tullycraft's How to Stuff a Wild Bikini:



Fuzz - Since Mustaches for Kids has started, I thought I'd mention Burt Reynolds was in a movie called Fuzz.



Shredder - I feel pressure to get what ever terrible horror movie the library acquires. It's just so random that they have this movie. I've never heard of it before but the description helped me summon the willpower to not get it.

When seven sexy snowboarders break into an abandoned ski lodge for a weekend of hot partying and heavy powder, they soon find themselves stalked by a psychotic killer who plans to put them all on ice.

The House of the Devil - I already got this from Netflix but it was very good. It came out last year but copies the style of an early eighties horror movie. This is not the VHS copy they made!

Trick 'r Treat - Former bad movie night movie. I should have waited for the library copy. But good for you library, you're getting some good stuff.

Ren zhe wu di (Five Element Ninjas) - Holy shit. Soooo random. If you looked at my Netflix queue all the movies are rated two stars or worse. But there was one odd movie that had four stars. This is it.

The Evil Dead Discs 2 & 3 - I just got the extras discs. In fact, I watched this last night. Seems the Ladies of Evil Dead somehow only just a few years ago heard about what a big deal Evil Dead is. Now they've turned it into a little business.

Dream a Little Dream - Moment of silence.



















Greatest Classic Films Collection, Sci-Fi Adventures: Them!, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, World Without End, Satellite in the Sky - I don't know. Do I want all these? It's so easy to hit that request button but so hard to actually watch sometimes.

Carny - I don't know what this is exactly but I assume it's a rip-off of my movie, that's still in the poster stages, Carny Judgement:



Avatar - Everyone I know saw Avatar. Even the people that never go to movies. It's like they felt it was their duty as a member of the human race.

Capitalism: A Love Story - I like Michael Moore. I don't know what your problem is.

Masters of Horror - Ug, I got, like, 6 of these and I already have them at home and now I have no time or motivation to watch any of them. Oh, here are the Masters of Horror: Stuart Gordon, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper and... Don Coscarelli? I guess he's the guy who made the Phantasm movies and Bubba Ho-Tep. Mick Garris is one too but I don't blame them for using the director of Critters 2: The Main Course. It's one of the few Easter horror movies.

Breaking Bad - On Demand took these away just as we started watching them. More like Off Demand, amiright?

Better Off Ted - From the makers of Andy Richter Controls the Universe, it was never on when I tried to watch it originally.

Okay, it was at this point that I hit my hold limit! I thought those days were behind me. This is a really good month for the Don't Miss Lists. So I had to delete a bunch of stuff if I wanted to put anything else on hold. Sorry Lorrie Moore, I won't be reading your new book any time soon.

Music

Activity Center, Tahiti 80 - Before you learn the format, guess which one is the title and which one is the band.

XXXX, You Say Party! We Say Die!

Congratulations, MGMT

Quarantine the Past, Pavement

The Roots of Kings of Leon, Kings of Leon

One Life Stand, Hot Chip - I'm obsessed with Hot Chip's new video. It won't hit you right away but just wait.
