Speaking of which, I came across A Clockwork Orange on IFC last week. It's still as disturbing now as it was the first time I saw the movie back in college.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Yes, I imagine you have.
I hated ACO. I've seen it twice and hated it more with every minute. It's terrible.
Oh, and same for 2001. That movie was a complete waste of time.
Edit 2: For the record, I've had this debate on this board a number of times.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Agreed on both counts.
An older friend talked us into 2001 about 15 years ago and said we'd love it. Wife and I were like w t f the whole time. I kept waiting for whatever was going to happen to happen.
ACO was just violence for violence's sake as far as I could tell. Saw it a couple of times in college and thought it was awful.
EDIT 1: And it's not like I wasn't completely baked for both...
EDIT 2: Is that a double negative?

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Like it or hate it, A Clockwork Orange wasn't just violent for violence sake. It was commentary regarding yes, societal violence increasing, an over-reactive police state and experimenting that was going on in Britain at the time. (The movie was adapted from the book of the same name, mostly faithful to the book, too.)ACO was just violence for violence's sake as far as I could tell. Saw it a couple of times in college and thought it was awful.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
yeah, in every TV show I've ever seen in which a female character gets pregnant, she decides to keep the baby. Generally she then gets involved in an accident and loses the baby to a miscarriage.
I don't think I've ever seen a (fictional) TV show in which a female character gets pregnant and then decides to willfully terminate the pregnancy.
CORRECTION: I do recall a Law & Order episode in which one of the defendants killed her fetus, but it was after the legal deadline and she was put on trial for manslaughter.
I don't watch what is euphemistically called "daytime TV" though. But still, no matter how "fashionable" it is to support abortion in real life, I can't recall a show ever showing it in a positive light for a recurring character.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I know all that.
Just saying what it seemed like to me - what my takeaway was.
I understand that many like the film and consider it a classic. It just missed the mark with me.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I feel your pain. I can't for the life of me understand why people think Some Like It Hot is even a mediocre comedy.
Having said which, ACO and 2001 are both amazing and you should keep trying.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Thanks, I stand corrected.
there are two or three, then.
Regarding Clockwork Orange, it is a very disturbing film. It's the kind of movie you'd like to have seen without actually having to sit through watching it, if you know what I mean.
While I would agree that it is a very well-made and thought-provoking movie, it is not one I'd ever like to see again. It would be very high up on my list of "Movies, seen once, that I never want to see ever again", along with Deer Hunter and the original Cape Fear (I did not see the remake nor do I have much desire to).
If you are a fan of Singing in the Rain (one of the Top Ten movies of all time by that prestigious film magazine that takes a poll every ten years), do not watch ACO, even once.
2001, IMHO, is overrated. It's a decent film but not quite worth all the adulation it receives. I did enjoy it, but I wouldn't rave over it. B or B+.
I'd recommend Koyaanisqatsi ahead of it. That is a fun film if you are in the right frame of mind for it. The two sequels, not so much.

So glad that Honey Boo Boo crap show is cancelled. Forget anything else that happens, this is the biggest accomplishment made this week.

The stoner response to 2001 was always puerile, anyway -- they should stick to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Not being from that crowd, I'm living proof that you can love the film stone cold sober.

You're a more patient man than I for sitting through it. I enjoy it as visual wallpaper while I do something else and glance to it from time to time. But I don't respond to extended viewing of it with anything more enlightened than fidgety boredom. I know what he's going for -- I'm just not zen enough, I guess.

Good description. That was Natural Born Killers for me. For different reasons also Eraserhead and anything by Tarkovsky*.
