I was watching it at a friend's house with about 5 friends. Half of us were drunk off our ass from a part that was winding down quickly, and the other half were high.

You could just imagine our laughter


My favorite lines in the movie are:


"you know... reefers. Maryjuana cigaretteeeeesssss...."

and of course
"you're a chick!!! You're an UGGGGGLLLLYYYYY Chick!!!"

I'm not surprise someone would post this movie.

True. The plot was a little better.

I watched The Rapture last night.

I can't say that I liked it. The characters were annoyingly surreal and wooden, especially David Duchovny. Man, he was terrible. And his fake mullet didn't help either. I could see myself liking the film if it was redone with better effects. When the rapture finally happened, it looked very dated and cheap (the jail scene was kind of cool though).

This movie is one of the most twisted I have seen. I would have posted a picture but it would not be appropriate.

It's actually not released yet, but....

32 Hours 7 Minutes

The film started out as a documentary about how two guys set the "Cannonball Run" record in 1983 by driving a Ferrari from New York to L.A. in 32 hours and 7 minutes during the underground (and illegal) "U.S. Express" road race. Then, after a guy named Alex Roy heard about the project, he decided to get involved and write a new ending for it by shattering the record:

In 2006, he and his co-pilot drove a BMW from New York to L.A. in 31 hours and 4 minutes.

To do this, they had to drive 2,800 miles at an average speed of at least 90 MPH. Now, you might be thinking, "Big deal. My Toyota Camry could do at least 100."

Well, it's not that simple. First of all, that 90 MPH average includes stops. They tried to minimize those by adding an extra fuel tank to the car and stopping only for gas and tolls, but even those stops required them to bank time elsewhere. These guys were sometimes cruising at 120-130 MPH, and I think their top speed was something like 157 MPH. And the problem with going that fast is it hurts your gas mileage, thereby requiring more fuel stops.

Second, if you're going to do this, you've got to watch out for the cops. If you get pulled over, at best it'll cost you 15 minutes. At worst, you'll go to jail. They wired up their car with all sorts of gadgets to avoid the police... night vision thermal camera (allows for driving at night with the headlights off, and may also help spot a police car hiding behind a sign or something), laser jammers, analog and digital police radio scanners, a kill switch for the brake lights, etc. They also had a spotter plane for the daylight portion of their trip. But even with all those tools, you still have to maintain a constant lookout for cops and possible locations where they might be hiding to catch speeders.

Third, too much traffic can make it impossible to achieve a 90 MPH average. In fact, the people who were setting these records back in the 70's and 80's thought that the 1983 record would never be broken because of today's increased traffic and road congestion.

The fourth problem is driver fatigue. Even though they switched drivers at every stop, the person in the passenger seat had to stay awake and assist the driver with things like spotting cops. (Note to anyone crazy enough to try this yourself: it might be a good idea to have a team of three drivers so everyone will be able to get at least some sleep.)

In all, Alex's quest to beat the record cost him $150,000 (not sure if that includes the price of the car, which he already owned), took years of extensive planning, and involved several failed attempts before they did the 31:04 run.

My understanding is that the film is in post-production and should be released soon.

Yeah, and that's what just pushed him over the edge. I can't believe he chases that guy all the way down to the beach.

My favorite is Z-man towards the beginning at the party: "This is my happening and it freaks me out!"

I have that on my myspace quote actually.

Now, this sounds interesting. I'll like to see this film.

MsLegs said:

that's funny. I thought Planet Terror had no plot just a vague situations, middle school level characters and endless CG and boring gore effects,

and Death Proof was a very strategic plot and situation with great shots, memorable action sequences, memorable characters, meticulous dialogue, and suspense.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, but it's a pretty freaky script, no? Like when the whole things goes literal with the horsemen of the apocalypse running through?

heartbeatocean said:

I had no problems with the script at all. The movie had the potential to be very freaky, but the execution was lacking.

Just watched Cube 2. I liked it. Not as good as the first one. But still enjoyed. I love these smaller budget sci-fi movies.
