    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I'm playing this on Facebook, but this annoys me. I don't understand what the difference between these two is.

    Duke, Army of Darkness is such a great movie.

    I missed it at the theaters, somehow, and years later I walked into a video store and they had it playing on a crappy busted up 19" tv. Browsing around, I kept listening to the dialogue and finally went up front to watch (it was right at the beginning).

    I stood there for like 15 minutes before I asked the guy if they had a copy.

    PS: Your first video link there doesn't seem to work.

    Not too much different, other then two shots, and a strange focus on someone that I don't even think is in the movie. Otherwise, I like the quick cut at the end more then the actual ending.

    It was the first rated-R movie I've ever seen, and the only reason my father let me watch it was because he knew it was a soft R and it fit my personality and style of humor.

    Most satisfying ending ever? Quite possibly.

    Great pick. Interesting to see the alt clip. I think there's different music at the closing too (is that The Clash?).

    That is The Clash. And you're correct in there being different music as well. The normal version uses Sid Vicious. Both are fitting.

    Thing I like about that clip isn't the dialogue (which is great), but that it subtlety underlines a major theme of the movie: That Roy, despite being artificial, is more human than Deckard.

    Yeah, I always forget Blade Runner when thinking of the best directed movies. That and Alien are reasons why I always try out new Ridley Scott movies, even if most end up as shit, he's still made masterpieces. I really hope this prequel (or whatever it is) works out.

    Holy shit, EXACTLY. I'm not a fan of the guy by any measure, but I'll always check out his movies just because of those two.

    Btw, just came across this Brit documentary from 2000, "On the Edge of Blade Runner." I think it's on one of the DVD sets, but it's not something I've seen before. Interesting behind the scenes stuff, and it opens with a short rumination on the book:

    I should really give Popeye a try. I'll have low expectations, but the art direction looks pretty amazing.

    Interesting that that one's your favorite, it kinda gets a bad rap around here. I liked it, but it was my first Kiarostami film (I saw it a good ten years ago). It definitely needs a rewatch, but I can't see it elevating over any of his Koker Trilogy films or Close Up for that matter.

    It's the only one I've seen more than once, though. Except Ten, which is also fantastic. Both shot up in my esteem on 2nd viewing, so...

    Edit: By the way, The Set-Up is awesome.

    I'll probably forget about this before I finish, but I'll get started at least.

    Day 1: Favorite Film

    SE7EN (David Fincher)

    Favorite film from my favorite director. Here's what I believe to be one of the greatest opening credits sequences ever.
