Viddy well.
I MET MALCOLM MCDOWELL!
Hrm. Guess which movie I chose.

I did! I had my picture taken with him and I got an autographed pic of him as Alex (To Pat, Viddy well. Malcolm) and he autographed the sleeve of my collector's edition A Clockwork Orange DVD. *swoon* I had been waiting 28 years for that moment, and I told him so. He was very gracious.

That is awesome. *jealous*Originally Posted by Woofer
Is that DVD the CDA Entertainment one in the over-sized silver traycase? The one that comes with the film cell and soundtrack?
: ahem : waiting on Woofer to post MM photos!
I loved Clockwork Orange. These are some great films, but Clockwork is a classic.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
Oh I wish! Alas, mine is but the WB 2 disc collection.
Brice, I swear... there was so much that I wanted to do/buy for people here. Had I the $$$, then you would totally be holding your own autograph right now.
I asked my friends if they saw Corey Haim because I completely missed him. I didn't want his autograph or anything, but I had heard he looked like he was on the Keith Richards health plan so I wanted to see for myself. They said "Yeah, he was right across from Malcolm McDowell." I replied "Well there you go. He was in the 50' invisibility zone around Malcolm McDowell."

I hadn't seen that collector's edition. I have the one I mentioned. When it came out it was something like $70-80 and I thought there is no way I'm paying that much for a DVDwhen there is stuff I need. The next day I went and picked up the only copy they had. I couldn't resist.
I'm sure Corey could have been standing two inches from Malcolm and you wouldn't have seen him.
And as turtlex said...do you have pics to post?
...and
I am going through the footage I shot, but I am the ultimate crappy photographer. Also, room conditions and the active nature of the speakers necessitated using video. I hope I can get some good stills from that.
I'm going back to work today, so I'll scan in my pic of me with MM and the other autographs I got (Ken Foree and Doug Bradley).
My friend also took pics, but she stayed in Orlando for Universal Horror Nights. I'll get copies of hers when I get back.
FYI, I'm not sure I'll have usable footage from the McDowell videos. I was shaking too much.

I'd have paid Malcolm good money to beat the crap out of me while singing "Singing in the Rain". Now that'd be a good video!
Oh what I would pay Malcolm to do to me.

i voted for dogma but for the record, i can't even believe a clockwork orange is in this fight or that people are actually voting for it.
More to come. I'm having problems with the files and getting snapped at. For the moment, here's the autographed slipcase for the DVD:

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRRRGGGGGHHHH! This one was too hard! Too hard, I say!

Wow. I'm surprised about the Clockwork Orange notes. I think it's a classic. I understand that some folks were disturbed by it, but that's part of it's genius, IMHO.
This is a good category, though I admit I did not like Fear and Loathing at all. I can appreciate it as a good film with good acting, but I honestly hated it.

I do understand. My friend's mother walked out of the theater when she went to see it (that was when it was first released). I love this movie and book so much, though, that I focused on it for my grad school work. I wrote on the music choices, the language, the names, etc... Jean, you'll have to tell me sometime what you think of Burgess using so much Russian in Nadsat (the slang that the droogs speak).it's a very well made movie, but emotionally I am with t/songFor the record, I can't believe A Clockwork Orange even has competition.i voted for dogma but for the record, i can't even believe a clockwork orange is in this fight or that people are actually voting for it.
That said, much love and hugs to my bear and t/song.
I guess we all know my opinion on ACO by now. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it. Hundreds? Probably. I used to watch it once a week in grad school.
The WTF for me in this category is Dazed and Confused. I just could not get into it. I have never finished the movie although I have tried many times and in many different frames of mind.

Woofer: there's a C/Orange thread somewhere, and I long ago promised to post there; I will with time. I have no problem with cruelty in movies, but I have big problems with ideology and hypocrisy, and the satire of that movie seemed to me exactly the direct flipside of (thus, essentially the same as) what they were trying to criticize, ridicule, expose, whatever. (Their Russian is absurd, of course; in such cases it can always be said that it was done on purpose, not out of ignorance - youth slang, what do you want)

I think you'd find the morality of the uncut book far less hypocritical, Jean. The movie is more of a celebration of Alex's wickedness.
