What ever happened to that William Sockspeare sock?

Received an email from a friend about movie night, with the following parameters:

"anything gratuitously violent or that is suitably objectifying works for me"

Any suggestions?

"From Dusk 'Till Dawn" satisfies both criteria nicely. There's also "Swordfish" , the virtues of which have been praised on the FB previously.

Do you ever actually go to movie theaters? You know, those big places with lots of seats and people you don't know who have big hair and talk a lot and sit right in front of you. And there's no remote control...

When our home equipment became good enough to enjoy movies without having to deal with people talking, moving, breathing loudly, kicking my chair, or well, existing when I am trying to watch a movie.

AI
 

I had a revelation last night. I always thought there was something kind of sexy about Simon, but at the same time I found that thought disturbing. I couldn’t figure it out until all of a sudden I realized how much he reminds me of my dad. Too weird.

Rickey: Surprisingly sounded better in the high parts than the lower parts, but overall just okay.

Carmen: Her best performance so far, but that just means she didn’t suck as much as usual.

Kim C: Missed it because the phone rang.

Clay: So here’s a guy who is great at one thing, and that is Elton John ballads. Force him to sing R&B, country or disco, and it will all come out like Circle of Life. He shouldn’t win the title of AI, but I’ll bet there is a market for his talent.

Trenyce: Inconsistent performance. Had some great moments but some very weak ones as well.

Ruben: I love the velvet teddy bear, but this performance did nothing to show off his talent.

Kim L: I didn’t hate her song, but perhaps it was because I was busy hating her dress.

Josh: Ouch. The worst performance of the competition by anyone.

Bottom 3: Kim L, Kim C, Josh.

Movie Night Clarification
 

To supplement: I have a free pass to go out to the movies tonight. Ralph (not his real name) and I generally have a few drinks beforehand, and then hit a collosally bad movie (e.g., Mission to Mars, Thin Red Line, Our Lady of Assassin).

Kafka-ette and I regularly go to the movies (a/k/a Date Night), leaving kafka-tot at home to torment the babysitter, so we are fairly current on date-night movies (I loved "ten ways to lose a guy," and was one of only two fonts of testosterone in the otherwise estrogen-filled theater . . .).

In sum, am looking for current "movies for guys who like movies" recs.

Movie recommendations?
 

For gratuitously violent home viewing, I highly recommend Dog Soldiers, a Scottish werewolf movie released last year.

The review from EW (no longer accessible by non-subscribers thanks to AOL/TW):

If Guy Ritchie ever decided to remake something entertaining, say, Predator, it would probably resemble this: a fidgety, extremely gory werewolf thriller in which a platoon on maneuvers in Scotland runs afoul of some gangly lycanthropes. It's nothing Hollywood hasn't done before (and more elaborately), but there's something quaintly refreshing about the blokes' ''cor blimey'' banter and the fact that even while under siege in a remote country house, they still find time to put the kettle on.

How on earth do you stay up late enough to manage an entire movie?

Oops, that's right (NTTAWWT and NTIWK). Keeping all of the skullfuckers straight is hard. Ask Toaster.

Sure, impugn my recommendation skills because of Brotherhood of the Wolf.

I would have suggested it here, but it's not nearly violent enough.

How do you know?
 

Did you mean it to be normative or positive? Literal or slang? I think it would be a stretch to interpret your comment as "the reason that nobody likes this guy is because he sucks cock (and by extension, nobody likes any sword-swallower, including you)." Anyone who's going to get too offended over a comment like that just ain't worth worrying about.

Oh, and Jack, I haven't picked up Elephant yet, but are you going to Coachella? I read a tantalizing review of "Eisley" in Rolling Stone, and they're playing there too. I'm fired up baby. Three more weeks . . .
