I've never forgotten this Bud Dry commercial from (Jeezus) twenty years ago, so I decided to see if it was on YouTube, and sure enough...
And thank god nowadays we have Redbox instead of those elitist Blockbuster stores that were always relentlessly shoving incomprehensible Fellini/Bergman stuff down our throats.

But it's not as bad as it's ridiculing not real art films but costume dramas, which can often be tiresome and lazily formulaic.

Boring and dumb.
1/5 stars.
I bought this movie because a friend of mine told me it was a bio-pic about Carlos Mencia, and that was all I needed to know. Turns out it is just a boring and VERY LONG movie about a left wing retard who thinks the rules don't apply to him. Political terrorism blah blah blah attacking the power structure blah blah blah overcompensating for being homosexual blah blah blah. It's a known fact that most liberals are gay. I was high on painkillers and still got nothing out of this movie which is just way too long. Also even though he is from South America this movie reminds me of the existence of Mexicans and that's never a good thing. Very disappointed in this movie and also I am going to downvote all the positive reviews because they're obviously written by philistines (PLEASE NOTE: I UNCONDITIONALLY SUPPORT ISRAEL).

I managed to find some of his other reviews off Amazon, apparently this guy really does believe what he is saying. Oh and he's a birther.

While the movie itself was pretty boring and I found the ending confusing, this soundtrack more than made up for it. The composer's delightful use of the oboe throughout lent fun and whimsy to the overarching theme. But my favorite part was the dance mix at the end, an energentic and synth-laden whirligig of sound that Frost and Nixon find themselves shaking it to during one of the movie's few good parts.

Definitely a must have for those who saw this movie (whether you liked the movie or not), and highly recommended to those who appreciate a pumping beat and lush disco production. This soundtrack has it all, and then some!

I read this out loud to my wife. She was laughing so hard tears were streaming down her cheeks.

I own various cats (they do not own me) and I have always found the litter box to be the most unpleasant part of owning a cat (again, I own the cats, not the other way around).

Typically what happens is my cats blast feces and urine all over the general area of the litterbox, turning my home into a disgusting latrine (which is not helped by my brother-in-law's drunken "accidents" at various inappropriate locations). If you have ever smelled the combination of cat and human fecal matter on a warm day, believe me you would never forget it!

I tried one of the motorized auto-cleaning litter boxes, but after my cat Muffy was crushed to death in the mechanism I swore off those contraptions for good. Every other combination of litter and litterbox has been a disappointment.

Then I tried the Omega Paw Litter Box System, and my life has changed. I simply wait for my cats to enter "the Omegasphere" as I call it, and then when they are done pottying I tip it back and forth very quickly. All of the feces and urine is sorted out using some miraculous process. Sometimes the cats are annoyed by the tipping back and forth, but they seem incapable of doing anything about it.

At first I was suspicious that the cats weren't really using it, or that it might not sift out all the poopy poop poop reliably. I had my youngest daughter test it by taking the cover off and using the litter box for a week. Well I can say the results are 100% successful! Even dealing with human waste is a snap for the Omegasphere. So you can certainly use this for cats and probably small dogs too.

By "off Amazon" I assume you mean reviews elsewhere using the same name. I read some of his other reviews "on" Amazon and he's pretty obviously taking the piss.

This is a movie about the benefits of overusing synth drones, slow-mo and emotionless characters.

How can anybody like this piece of shit?
The only real music used in it was 1980's piece of shit stuff, The build up was a fuckig hour, and even after that, very little actually happens, the characters aren't built up at all.

It's like 2001: A Space Oddyssey without the Space
Or No country For Old Men, without the country or the men.

I have no idea how anybody can rate this film so highly. I mean, I love the likes of Kubrick and generally minimalist movies like Old Boy, I loved No country For Old Men to death.
This just seems highly fucking pretentious and badly written.

This was probably one of the few foreign films I couldn't sit through. Talk about dreary. This must have been one of those films which helped establish the boring-foreign film stereotype. While the story was very strong and the pacing was excellent, it feels like a long, drawn out version of people waiting to commit suicide. However, the acting in the film was amazing, fully delving into the uneasy silences of two people who are torn apart by war and different views of marriage. Tough to inhale at most times, but a perfect example of the tragedy.
