The Lost Continent, the 1968 version. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063240/

I still have nightmares about the sound the seaweed makes. Awesome.

Oh hey… I bought Idiocrasy at Target for like, $4, awhile ago…

Mike Judge was also majorly responsible for Beavis and Butthead and King of The Hill.

Ohh! I’m so glad you liked The Host. Sorry, I’ve been absent for a while, but I’m trying to catch up.

I agree with you. Idiocracy was a fun surprise!

Three of my favorites:

“What’s Up Tiger Lily” and “What’s New Pussycat”, Woody Allen’s first two films. Tiger Lily takes a Japanese spy movie and overdubs Allen’s own dialog. Pussycat stars Peter O’Toole and Peter Sellers, and is one of the funniest films ever made.

Well, ok, I might be alone in that judgement, but it certainly is the funniest film about psychiatry ever made.

My dad was a submariner, and spent a 6 month tour at sea on a nuke sub, during which the one film onboard was “What’s New Pussycat”. The crew saw this film daily, and got to where they could turn off the audio and do the dialog themselves. Happily he shared that bit of lunacy with his family.

Third film: the documentary “Mondo Elvis”, or really any of the various documentaries floating around on the King’s fan base. Think “Trekkers” but with an older generation of seriously twisted folk.

That second one sounds good. I’ll throw a couple out there that I love. Quills is one of my favorites, but it’s a little depressing (only if you think people you’ve grown fond of getting killed is depressing, otherwise nevermind). Still, it’s so good. And Cradle Will Rock (which is NOT Hand that Rocks the Cradle) is another one of my favs–tons of good people in it too. It’s where I developed my crush on Cherry Jones.

I loved “The Host.” Maybe because I saw it in the theater? I liked how it was your typical monster movie. As for “Idiocracy,” the opening was funny, but the movie went downhill from there. It could have been a great 30-45 minute sitcom special or something.

Idiocracy was a very strange but good movie. Oddly enough I was approached recently about using this energy drink on my show.

Yeah, it’s real.

Ohh and by the way, it’s not out on netflix yet, but if you ever decide to venture out of the house there is a movie at the theaters called Young at Heart. Very funny and emotional. Check it out if you get the chance.
