Sweet Dreams
This is the single funniest bit of film I've seen since the first time I saw Strange Brew or the last time I saw Ghost Busters. Enjoy Estelle Getty at her best:

Like Static and Cling
I just watched this amazing movie called Foos: A History of American Foosball. This movie is so much what I've always wanted the other subculture movies to be. It is about the lives of about 10 or so old famous Foosball players and it really deals with the history of the game. So worth seeing.

The Hill
The whole damn movie is on youtube. And also out on DVD. The Hill is one of my favorite Sidney Lumet films (along with the Offense)
And there is this giant interview with Lumet up too:
From a website that I could spend 10 years watching:

Not Quite Hollywood is amazing.
It has a bad name (I mean an Ameri-centric one). And WAY too much Quentin Tarantino but besides that it is a totally amazing history of Australian genre films. It isn't long enough and I know it leaves some stuff out but it has really good coverage of the main threads of Australian drive-in films.
I think the whole thing is on utube with Portuguese subs.
It is totally worth renting in spite of big chin mcdoogle.

Some joker tells you why Hong Sang-Soo is amazing.
and more on his new one:
"Famous for his films of men being afraid..."
"The source of a man's power is women..."
All bullshit,listen to his quote at the end.
There aren't a lot of his movies on line. And previews don't do his movies justice. Neither do other people's opinions.
And here is a intertubepage about him.

GANG CLOTHING
INTRODUCTION
A gang patch is usually known as a “patch” or as “colours”. A patch is normally sewn onto a sleeveless leather or denim vest which is sometimes known as a “cut off” or a “half jacket”.
A gang patch is an extremely important possession for a gang member because it represents his commitment and dedication to the gang. He is expected to protect his patch at all costs and risks getting kicked out if he loses it.
Some gang members wear their patch frequently and others wear theirs only when they have to, because of the attention that it brings from the police and other law enforcement officials.
Gang members are expected to wear their patch at gang meetings and functions. Most motorcycle gangs have rules that members must wear their patch when riding their motorbike. Many bikie gangs have the rule that patches must not be worn inside vehicles.
It’s very common for patchmembers to wear T-shirts from other chapters of their gang and these are often swapped amongst members.
A gang patch (and all items bearing the gangs name) remains the property of the gang and must be returned when the patchmember leaves the gang.
For information about banning gang patches, please refer to the Getting Tough on Gangs section.
THE “THREE-PIECE” PATCH
The type of patch worn by outlaw gangs is known as a “three-piece” patch. It consists of a “Top Rocker”, “Colours” and a “Bottom Rocker”.
BADGES
Gang members often personalise the front of their patch vest by adding badges. Some gangs have strict rules about what badges can be worn and others don’t. Badges may include the wearers gang and chapter, rank or status (eg “Life member”), nickname, years of service, special occasions they have attended (anniversary parties etc), drug use or other things that have some meaning to the member.
COMMON BADGES INCLUDE...
1%/1%er
The “1%” badge symbolises that the wearer is an outlaw or criminal.
This comes from a supposed quote from the American Motorcycle Association that 99% of motorcyclists were honest, law-abiding citizens and that only 1% were bad.
13
This refers to cannabis and indicates that the person is a smoker. “M” for marijuana, is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet.
F T W
“F--k The World.” This is often seen as a tattoo.
I M O
"In Memory Of". This is sometimes seen as a badge to commemorate the death of a gang member.
MEMBERSHIP BADGES
Some gangs award badges for a certain amount of service, such as ten years as a patchmember.
SIDE PATCH
Some gangs award badges for a certain amount of service, such as ten years as a patchmember.
SIDE ROCKER
A “side rocker” is similar to a “bottom rocker” and often contains the name of the chapter that the member belongs to.
YEAR BADGES
These are worn by a small number of gangs and show every year that a person has been a patchmember.
PROSPECTS' CLOTHING
In most New Zealand gangs, the only people who are allowed to wear clothing with the gangs name on it are patchmembers.
Gang clothing worn by prospects varies from gang to gang. Some motorcycle gang prospects wear a bottom rocker and a MC badge (as shown above), although the prospects of a couple of clubs wear a “top rocker” bearing the gangs name instead.
In some gangs, prospects are allowed to wear chapter T-shirts which includes the gangs name and symbol.
