MMN Going Out for a Smoke Break

Even movie-watching stoners need a little break from watching movies once in a while to go out and get some air. (Don't fear, I have a joint sewn into my jacket.) The Oscars are this Sunday so I would suggest doing anything else, but watching it. Be a normal person and read about who won after its aired. Until next week, keep your films close, but your weed closer.

Retro Movie Moments - John Carpenter's Escape from New York

"I told you I wasn't a fool, Plissken."
"Call me Snake."

Of the many great Carpenter films, this and They Live are a perfect double feature for a Marijuana Movie Night of your own (some assembly required). They are both in Blu-ray so you can appreciate how fantastically low-fi these two movies look transferred over to new technology. So what the hell are you waiting for? Put on some x-ray specs or slap on a eye patch and fight the fucking power!

Love It or Hate It, It's February 14th

There are few holidays which attract so much ire as Valentine's Day. It is nice to recognize your lover, husband, wife, partner, whatever, but this day seems to arrive about the same time I get my credit card statement from the holidays. So I grit my teeth, smile and buy some fucking flowers.

For those ladies out there without a mate or someone to fill their bed, my I suggest In the Company of Men this evening. This heartwarming little film from our friend Neil LaBute will help reinforce your disgust in men better than an undergrad class on feminist theory and literature. Feel the burn, but don't hurt anyone.

Men, you already know you're pigs, so stop complaining about having to spend your hard earned cash and be happy that your chances of getting laid have gone up exponentially today. Happy Valentines!

Happy Super Bowl from Marijuana Movie Night!

Mind that blimp and have a safe, terrorist free Super Bowl XLV! If you will excuse me, I have another bowl I need to attend to right now.

Redheads Are Coming & They Intend to Get Even

Romain-Gavras blew away and offended a lot of people with his M.I.A. video/short film Born Free. His first feature film Notre Jour Viendra (with the American release name of Redheads) will be one of the films shown at SXSW this year and from the looks of the trailer, it is going to kick all sorts of ass. I'm not totally sure what the plot is, but it stars Vincent Cassel who was one scary mother in La Haine (Hate) which came out back in 1995.

Hopefully good taste will prevail at the festival and this film ends up in your local art cinema. Toast up a big fat bowl and watch both Born Free followed with the trailer below. Yes, you will be freaked out, but a little turbulence during your high never killed anyone, right?

Retro Movie Moments - Liquid Sky

If you can find Liquid Sky, you will probably be watching it on Beta or VHS. And if you get that far, let me know because this shit is the real deal and I want some more.
