hardest movie to search for on the interweb EVER. pretty funny in parts, but i think that i expected too much from them. i wish that they'd gotten into some higher profile places, but i guess that higher profile places would have the sense to double-check who they were inviting to this sort of stuff. it seemed to me like pulling this kind of thing on textile manufacturers in finland or students ar suny-plattsburgh was a bit too easy. the one guy does come up with some of the all time great aliases, though.

I think I came into to this with the opposite approach. I didn't really know anything about this movie when I saw it, and I loved it. And yeah, the names he made up were as funny as the stunts they pulled.

Better than those whacky French kids in Les Sans Culottes?
I mean it's pretty hard to beat Kit Kat le Noir, Celine Dijon, Jean Luc Retard, Pascal Blasé, Morris "Mars" Chevrolet & Cal D'Hommage.

So is this like two dudes who just act like they know what they are doing to infiltrate place they're not supposed to?

HIJACK: Chase, do you use Netflix? I had it for a while last year, but found myself bored with my picks and not really watching a lot of the movies in a timely fashion..then returning them all at the same time, so then I'd have a logjam of movies I wasn't too damn excited about. Anyway, been thinking about rejoining, because my movie watching has waned something serious, and I am actually feeling guilty about not watching more movies (yes I'm THAT kind of nerd)

yeah, i use netflix because i hate going to the store for things that should be delivered to my house. i know a lot of people who suffer from the same disillusionment with it that you describe, but i have literally no standards with movies and a dvd-burner, so i can usually find something worth the time. i'm seriously going to have purple rain sent this week, like i've never seen that, and i'm giving serious thought to the last dmx movie. it's like that.

I LOVE THIS BAND!

Saw them open for the Electric Six on Thanksgiving Eve '02 and had a ball. They're so "French" that the drummer was even reading an issue of Le Monde before they played. Gotta love a band that takes kayfabe to that level.

Yeah, I think my main problem was trying to go back and watch classics or "important" films, like Cuckoo's Nest or Citizen Kane, or films by Directors witha capitol "D" like Altman, etc... when I really shoulda been getting stuff I like to see like the new Walking Tall...or just scrap it all and go to BushDVD.com for quality smut like Asian Street Hookers 19

Yeah.

We went through a phase like that too. We'd have three movies sitting here for weeks and never watched them.

But luckily we snapped out of it. And we're watching something every other night.

Plus it helps that there are a lot of movies we'd never go see in the theatre and having it delivered to our mailbox is an incredible feeling.

I think that having someone to watch with is huge...because a lot of the stuff that I was getting none of my friends had ANY interest in watching, so I would end up watching alone, which kinda sucks
