BUDDYHEAD Goes To The Movies!

January 8th, 2008 by Matt Hausfater

Matt Hauswrecker Presents: The Illest Movies of 2007.

twbbstilltwoactors.jpg

Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t “go to the movies” with the peasants. I mean, yeah, I’ll take a stroll down to the local Arclight with my friends to catch something really flavorful every once in a while, but that’s about it. I have to really want to see something in order to pay the $11.00 bucks (not to mention the $60 bucks for the eighth of pot for pre-pelicula spliffs). We (read: my Rad Dad) gets the Academy Screeners every year anyway. I’m usually watching the newest Bond movie, bong in hand, in the comforts of my own screening room (read: in bed, on my laptop) before you can even say Apatow! Suck on that, AMC Stadium 16!

In all seriousness, going to the movies is what America is all about. I really do enjoy a trip to see, as Darryl Zanuck would say, “the moving pictchas.” Getting together to laugh in unison and overpay for stale popcorn and melted Milk Duds is the American Dream. Coca-Cola quizzes while you wait for the lights to dim, the mechanic beating his kids down the aisle, and the Latinos and their babies screaming/crying for bloody murder…yup, going to see “the talkies” these days is about as wholesome an experience as one could hope to find in sunny Los Angeles.

In honor of the WGA, my lifetime fervor for film, Bob Evans, Ali McGraw, and my undying boner for Diane Lane, Michelle Pfieffer, Uma Thurman, and Amanda Peet… here’s the Top 10 Movies of 2007. To quote The Big Lebowski as I often do, “It’s just like, my opinion, man.” You’re gonna disagree with me on some count… whatever bro, I’m off to watch There Will Be Blood In & Blood Out: Bound By Honor, starring Edward James Olmos, Daniel Day-Lewis and Penelope Cruz, followed by The Bourne Conundrum: Bourne Again. If I could only find my squief…

In No Particular Order:

1) Michael Clayton
2) Juno
3) No Country For Old Men
4) Eastern Promises
5) Knocked Up
6) Control
7) 300
8) The Bourne Ultimatum
9) There Will Be Blood
10) Swingers

1) Michael Clayton - Honestly, Clooney doing Clooney is why we go to the movies. I’d watch the guy read the fucking newspaper. He’s everything an aging man should be: handsome, heavy-drinking, and kicking verbal/legal ass of all who stand in his path. And the guy fucks, like, three chicks in one night when he’s in Paris for Press Junkets and then crashes his motorcycle, breaks his model girlfriend’s foot, and still manages to make it to the premiere on time looking like Dapper Dan. The script itself is a bit convoluted, but if you stick with it, you’ll find that George Clooney’s portrayal of a stressed-out, on-the-run attorney is everything you’d want from a Clooney character. The pea coats he wears throughout the film only add to my theorem: Clooney doing Clooney is classic Clooney. Forever. (Pending you can forget about Schumacher’s Batman & Robin).

juno-poster2-big.jpg

2) Juno - This Michael Cera kid is everywhere! Running from the cops in Superbad, cracking jokes on Arrested Development, and now this time, he’s stumbled into Ellen Page’s premature birth canal! Yes, Juno is everything your mother warned you about: wearing 80’s running shorts and fucking your cute, precocious best girlfriend. Diablo Cody’s script is on par with Apatow’s Knocked Up. What it lacks in dick and fart jokes in makes up for in subtle humor and moments tenderness. Jason Reitman (who directed Thank You For Smoking) nailed what it’s like to be sixteen years old, confused, and literally fucked for the first time! Juno felt like many laughs, a few tears, and the comfort of a warm, dryer-fresh blankie. See this one with your girlfriend and ask yourself why she’s crying when you fuck her later that night…then you’ll remember…oh that little Ellen Page is so cute and convincing!

no-county-old-men.jpg

3) No Country For Old Men – Fuck the hype. This movie is badass. The ending is a bit weak, but hey, think about it: this is a Cohen Brothers’ adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel. They’re not going to spoon-feed you the plot. Figure it out, jackass. The ending is anticlimactic to say the least, not to mention flat out fucking weird. But Javier Bardem kills it! This guy goes around blowing doorknobs off with pressured air-tank! Then he says, “Don’t Move” before blowing your fucking brains out! Whew! This is a movie! A cinematic clusterfuck! It’s sweeping cameras, smooth dollys, gorgeous exteriors, and stylish pans are what I love about real movies…and there aren’t many good ones around anymore. Thank God for the Cohen Brothers. If you’re into this movie/novel check out Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy (it’s a book…be warned…you can’t like, watch it).

4) Eastern Promises – David Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors. A History of Violence? Come on; the movie is illmatic! Eastern Promises is Viggo Mortensen involved with the Russian mob, drinking Vodka, fucking strippers, and kicking ass while ass-naked in the Russian baths. Blood, abortions, and Russian accents…it’s a beautiful thing. In all seriousness, Naomi Watts delivers a convincing performance (and she looks fly in that motorcycle get-up) as innocent Anna. We’re with these characters until the bitter end. And somehow, we end up liking Viggo’s character, even though he’s technically a bad-guy. Eastern Promises delivers. Like No Country, Eastern Promises is a throwback to real cinema: everything is perfect…even the pseudo hooker-rape scene.

knocked-up.jpg

5) Knocked Up – Judd Apatow is richer than God. 2007 was a good year from him: he delivered Knocked Up, followed by his Can’t Hardly Wait doppelganger Superbad, and finally, he shit out Walk Hard. Everything this guy touches turns to gold. He’s still cashing checks from 40 Year-Old Virgin DVD sales. Apatow writes movies the way us guys tell drunken stories over Bud Ice and shots of Jameson. We love his characters; by the end of his films we, as male viewers, feel like we’re best friends with the fictional cast. Knocked Up is a genius tale of such a simple story: the unwanted pregnancy. However, Paul Rudd, Katherine Heigl and duh, Seth Rogen stir the pot perfectly making sure this old adage never goes stale. Every scene is the mixture of just the right ingredients: sexual overtures, ODB tunes, bong rips, and bathroom humor hilarity. And who can forget Jonah Hill’s infamous line, “She likkea the way yo’ dick taste!” Yep, Knocked Up is probably my favorite movie of the year.

6) Control – Oh boy. Sam Riley’s portrayal of Ian Curtis had me going gay for two hours. I’m serious: I almost converted to homoism. Anton Corbijn’s feature debut is dead-on. Joy Division has never looked cooler, not too mention so authentic. Not for one second did I not believe I was watching these real people move and speak. The scenes in which Riley’s performs are the real treat; he sways with just the perfect Ian Curtis bounce…his voice is just the perfect cross between Leonard Cohen and Morissey. He fucking nails Curtis! The ending of this film is heavy, as it should be. As sad as the subject matter is, Control is a pleasure to watch. I went out and bought Deluxe versions of Closer and Unknown Pleasures the very next day.

7) 300 – I’m a guy. Can you blame me? I was stoned. I saw it in IMAX. Blow me. Gerard Butler could take us all on. Don’t front.

8) The Bourne Ultimatum – The first one had me excited and confused as fuck. The second one had me falling asleep. This one had me going “holy shit! That’s rad! How did they do that with the camera?!” Yes, The Bourne Ultimatum is a wonderful way to end the Bourne trilogy. Paul Greengrass’camera-work makes me nauseous at times, but it also truly makes the viewer feel as if we’re on the go for the entirety of the film. Jason Bourne runs, jumps, dives, hides, drives, and kills a lot of dudes. What’s interesting is that Matt Damon/Jason Bourne is kind of the Modern Bond for the new Millennium. He’s traded Q for that blonde chick from 10 Things I Hate About You; he’s turned in his Aston Marton for an Audi. But with cell phones, GPS, text-messaging, and genius Jew writers…Matt Damon/Jason Bourne has his hands full. I doubt Timothy Dalton could’ve handled all the stuntwork, gun slinging, and hustling Damon is used to. Damon could now easily kick Ben Affleck’s ass when they argue over who gets to keep the Good Will Hunting Oscar on the mantle this month. Yeah, the ending is a bit cheesedick…but that Moby song makes it not so bad. It’s kind of cool, actually.

9) There Will Be Blood – Paul Thomas Anderson does it again. His movies are epic; why should this one be any different? Daniel Day-Lewis gives what I argue is his best performance yet. He’ll definitely get the Oscar for Best Male Actor this year. Bt your bottom dollar on it. Paul Dano (who plays the nutty set of twins, Eli & Paul) also shines through. Between TWBB and LMSunshine the kids got a pretty good-looking career ahead of him. Yeah, the movie is a bit long. But even Boogie Nights felt long and that was about coked-out, naked porn-stars. What did you honestly expect? It’s about oil wells at the turn of the century, for Christ’s sake. I thought there might be a little more blood, to be frank. However, the last fight scene between Day-Lewis and Dano remains indelible in my mind. TWBB is a movie that like Magnolia, I know seeing once is enough for now, and that in some years, when I see it again, it will be all the more sweet.

10) Swingers – This is my favorite movie of all time, and hence, is one of the Best Movie of 2007. No movie is as raw or inherently funny—not Knocked Up, not Superbad, nothing. Back when V. Vaughn and Favreau were hungry they were just throwing spaghetti at a wall—and it stuck! All if it. I watch this movie on a weekly basis. Sometimes I just fall asleep with the volume on. Swingers is the meaning of life. Yeah, you’re money. Vegas, baby, Vegas. But who could forget, “Fucking Bitch slap Wayne [Gretzky]! Score Chicago! Oh!” or, “What the fuck are you carrying a gat for, Snoop Dogg? Didn’t you see Boyz In The Hood? Now one of us is going to get shot.” You can’t write shit that original. YouTube has made it impossible. Anyway…on any night or any day…Swingers blows all other comedies of the last century away.

Worst of 2007:

1) TMNT: I got high and wanted a trip down memory lane…who knew the road was so grim?
2) I’m Not There – was wishing this the whole time while watching.
3) Sweeney Tood: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Edward Scissorhands get some neck shears. Big whoop, Tim Burton. Go back to making snowboards.
4) Once: worse than RENT. Hated this fucking thing. Watched 10 minutes and then watched Dirty Dancing instead.

    yeah, man, every music mag was deep-throat choking on Once–and it was so terrible. and no country is amazing. but i thought control was pretty underwhelming, and i wouldn’t recommend eastern promises. it’s too hokey with that maudlin dead girl voiceover (complete with weeping strings). but aaron would probably dig it since they show viggo mortensen’s chode.

  2. dude Says:

    good shit.

  3. travis Says:

    Don’t admit you like Moby dude… come on. Get it together.

  4. Josh Says:

    Good list except for 300. High or not that movie sucked balls like every other knuckle dragger that owns this piece of mainstream gay cinema. Easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. And I’m Not There was EPIC! How could you not enjoy Cate Blanchett as Jude Quinn(late 60’s Dylan) and David fucking Cross as Allen Ginsburg. Well to each their own but did you get the soundtrack for I’m Not There? One of the best “tribute” albums ever!

  5. bridget Says:

    You pay too much for your weed, man.

  6. e Says:

    + Swinger’s has a great soundtrack.

  7. Jesse Says:

    This is a pretty darn good best of list. But juno made me feel old.

  8. Lauren Says:

    thank you for writing this, I love best of /worst of lists.Here is my slight commentary

    1.Juno was aigggght. I agree with you it had some really great humor and that whole “smart kid talking like adults” banter that is fun. Ellen Page did a really good job, that Cera kid who played George Michael or whatever on Arrested Development is so damn cute. Jason Bateman will always be a dreamboat.But that fucking Jennifer Gardner Affleck makes me want to kill myself, she sucks sweaty balls.

    2.Knocked Up is one of my most favorite movies of all times, Ive On Demanded it 8 times not kidding, and before it got yanked I watched it five other times on the now defunct TVLINKS.com. Great ensemble cast, hilarious script, and I was a huge Freaks and Geeks fan and it was rad to see that Martin Starr is still alive! RAD JAMS

    3. CONTROL is probably the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. I am a photographer who of course respects Anton Corbijn’s work as godlike. Every scene of control could be an individual black and white portrait ,it’s stunning. I think it was a wonderful film despite everyone knowing how it would end. That whore annik should go to hell .Too bad Hollywood is in turmoil because if this film doesn’t get honored with an Oscar I will personally detonate a bomb on the dudes and dudettes houses who vote on this stuff.

    sorry to go off! pretty epic list dude

  9. D Says:

    Man, you’re so cool. Can I be your friend. We can totally smoke weed together. And after you pass out I’ll put my balls in your mouth, take a picture of it, email it to your “friends” at Buddyhead and steal all your stash…Wait, I’d might as well fuck you up the ass too. There will be blood douche cock.

  10. Matt Hausfater Says:

    You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

  11. roots Says:

    i thought this was an innocent review. What the hell is ‘D’ talkin about.i like matt too but not like that. Wow u r funny dude!in a scary way.

  12. DPH Says:

    Hot Fuzz, The Lives of Others, The Hoax.

    A retrospective on the best movies of 2007 can be seen at homoecophagus

  13. Alex Says:

    nice reviews.

  14. Ewan Wadharmi Says:

    “Tim Burton go back to making snowboards.” hilarious. Well played, sir. And I agree completely on Control.

  15. swing Says:

    nice reviews, luv it. Daniel Day Lewis never ceases to amaze with his brilliant performance. High five for Control !!

  16. Sir Alec Guinness Says:

    You didn’t add Deathproof to the worst of list. 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back.

  17. l7babe Says:

    bridget’s right :)

  18. JimmyC. Says:

    Grindhouse should have knocked out Knocked Up on this bloody list, but respect for props to Cronenberg.

  19. dirtystank Says:

    hey i thought this was a music website? what the fuck? i don’t come here for movie reviews i come here to read how great jubilee is. i don’t get it.

  20. Monty M. Says:

    crybabies.

  21. Coke-O Says:

    What a bunch of mainstream wimps you guys have become. What happened here? Did you guys finally shrivel up and realize that punk doesn’t pay and sell out? Christ. I haven’t been here in over two years and this list is what I find? Just some loser ranting about which blockbusters he liked and didn’t like? LOL! R.I.P. Buddyhead.

    Adios.

  22. kelvin Says:

    your so hard core Coke-O lets have crack babies together and when we touch heads you can stroke my ball sack and tell about what a hard core punk you are.

  23. Liz Says:

    How has Buddyhead sold out? Last I read somewhere on here, Travis can’t pay rent, so having some young guy write because they are bored with doing it for 10 years, doesn’t make them rich bastards that sail on yacht’s with a cigar and scotch. “Coke-O” needs to make his own blog if he cares so much. Oh, wait. No one would read it.

  24. drexel Says:

    I have no problem with peoples musical taste evolving, in fact if you only listen to the same shitty punk you listened to 10 or 20 years ago, I would say you’ve got the problem. But ever since that post about how awesome MTV used to be, I figured either Matt’s daddy was paying BH some serious scratch so he could hang out with the cool kids, or he’s got pics of Travis in a compromising position, and was blackmailing him. Either way, with each Hausfater post Buddyhead gets a little suckier.

  25. Matt Says:

    You guys are cute. Don’t you have day jobs…?

    Cokehead: You’re a novice, bro! Independent film hasn’t existed since the Miramax days of the 1990’s. Man, do your homework before you pontificate. You sound like a sphincter. Just cuz you’re bummed I didn’t mention Ratatoulie…c’mon, dude. That one’s a given.

    And for your info…all the majors studios own the independents (Focus, Rogue, Fox Searchlight)… Independent/non-mainstream cinema is DEAD! Punk is fucking DEAD! Unfortunately, you’re still alive.

    In case you haven’t noticed, Aaron and Travis have grown up, and so has Buddyhead. Aaron plays guitar in this tiny band called NIN, and Travis, well, he ’s too busy going off to even care.

    PointDrexter: You need to take the tampon out of your ass and put it back in your cunt. If you look at Buddyhead as a whole the site has evolved, as the music industry has…

    PS: My Dad could beat up your Dad.

    PPS: Before the days of little guy named ME…there was nothing but contests and whatever crap Travis could think to post before he went out to blow lines all night with Marilyn Manson. And did you really just use the word suckier? Fuck, dude…recess is over. Get back to Kindergarten before the finger-painting lesson is over.

    Kisses. You guys are fun. My bong and I are having a blast reading how uneducated and angry/sexually frusterated you two sound.

  26. Jimmy81 Says:

    Way to go, Matt! I was gonna say, you guys aren’t going to let this shit-talk slide, are you?

    Now if we could only get There Will Be Blood to come anywhere within driving distance, I’ll be set.

    Buddyhead is rad. Keep up the great work.

  27. travis Says:

    Hey cokeface, if you know someone who’s buying… send em my way, totally ready to sell out.

    Oh, and anyone complaining that Buddyhead sucks now, here’s your explaination….

    Buddyhead has always sucked… It just seems worse cuz you’re older now (so are we) and we just care way less. I suggest finding a new site that writes about all the shitty punk bands you like. Or hey… start one yourself! DIY bro!

    AND… everyone complaining about Matt’s post…. If you had half a brain you’d point out these two things that are missing from his list…

    1) None of the movies from the “Throat Gaggers” series that came out this year were included in this “Best Movies of 2007″ list. Riddle me this: How can you leave the best movies off the best movies list??? Makes no sense to me.

    2) None of these movies have Jenna Haze, Jenna Jameson or even Jenna Heart in them? WHAT THE FUCK? That’s what we call TALENT!

    Ok… I gotta get back to that orgy with the Clipper Girls I was in when Matt texted me and told me to look at this garbage.

  28. Lauren Says:

    i agree with Travis, Jenna Haze is a dirty dirrrty girl and a total champ. ANAL QUEEN

    fucking youporn is ruining my life

    Sleepless in San Francisco,

  29. FARTICHOKE Says:

    MATT,

    its Coen not Cohen.

    EVERYONE ELSE,

    you douches knocking on buddyhead are pissed cos you just found about it.

    taste it,
    face it,
    place it,
    put it in your mouth,

    FARTICHOKE

  30. caroline Says:

    Now that everyone is done… I liked SICKO, 1408, and PAN’s Labyrinth, 28 weeks later.. to name a few.
    I was not happy with Hairspray, Mr Beans holiday, Evan almighty!

  31. Bibi Says:

    Pan’s labyrinth was awesome but was it released in 2007?

    I don’t agree with all the movies on your best list but I definitely agree with your worst list… Cate Blanchett ruled as Bob Dylan but the rest of the movie really sucked. As for Sweeney Todd, I’m glad I saw this movie because now I’m enjoying every second of my life just to try making up for the two hours I lost watching it…

  32. caroline Says:

    depends were you live for me it was January 2007 when it was released by me

  33. Matt Hausfater Says:

    I smoke a lot of pot…pardon our misprint…that’s Coen…not Cohen…

    Secondly…Pan’s Lab….2006…it won an Oscar, dbags…get with the program.

    Sicko= Garbage.

    The Best Porn of the year: Barefoot Confidential 18: female ejaculation

  34. Aaron B. Says:

    speaking of weed, who here slangs ? Matt good reviews Man !

  35. E-brah Says:

    I don’t know why there are so many Deathproof detractors. Tarantino is a master at schlock for schlock’s sake. It’s supposed to be a little cheesy. It had all the elements of an entertaining movie: hot chicks in Austin, Texas giving lapdances to rad garage rock, even more hot chicks doing dangerous stunts on hot-rods, and Kurt Russell getting his ass kicked by, you guessed it, HOT CHICKS. I think I’ve had this dream before.

  36. caroline Says:

  37. caroline Says:

    you have to copy that link to see it seems not working by straight post… Now back to the real shit “music” next blog

  38. E-brah Says:

    I didn’t see any votes for “Two Girls-One Cup.” Come on guys. Get with the picture.

  39. alex Says:

    closer kills 24 hour party people, and i think you’d agree. i felt the same way; totally re-sparked my love for Joy Division. I wanted to be Ian Curtis that entire day: listened to Aladdin Sane on vinyl pretending like it just came out while smoking on my bed, moved my desk underneath my window, then I realized I only have three more years to become a legend. By the end of the day I was afraid I would become epileptic.

  40. Matt Says:

    bro. dig your enthusiasm. alex - i think you mean control…if CLOSER, with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen made you wanna listen to Bowie and be Ian Curtis…than all the more power to ya’!

  41. jeff lynne Says:

    Pan’s Labyrinth is only good on mushrooms that you can take into any AMC.
    Also throat gaggers is so last year. The ‘08 is all about gapers.

  42. alex Says:

    oh yeah, control. i even reread that, whatevs i had just smoked a spliff.

  43. ariana Says:

    dude! you left out super bad. that shit was hillarious. i got really high today and watched ms. doubtfire in bed, butt ass naked with the heater up to 80. that’s the only way to watch a movie.

  44. moreton cunce Says:

    Control blew my mind. I spoke incoherantly for about 20 minutes after seeing it. I’d take it in the butt for Sam Riley.

    I’d take it in the butt for 1/2 price off the DVD, it was that good.

  45. wtf Says:

    i think you might be gay

  46. bloodycunt Says:

    Personally i’d like to read more about the hollywood studio system that was touched on in an earlier post. Buddyhead really IS growing up, and I like what I’m tasting!

    sticky teenage sperm!

  47. moreton cunce Says:

    wtf: it’s good to know you’re thinking.

  48. scott Says:

    movie reviews? really?

    1. Was this just a review of George Clooney? Hope you got paid.
    2. See Hard Candy. By the time you see Ellen Page in anything else, you’ll want to throw her through a fucking window. Sorry… No one talks like this at 16.
    3. Yeah. Javier Bardem. We get it. Does this guy write for Maxim?
    4. You saw Eastern Promises after seeing History of Violence? Kill Yourself.
    5. Jews talking about weed. That’s rad. Oh, and Bud Ice? Fuck.
    6. Did you buy any Dylan albums after you saw “I’m not There?” I’m totally stoked on Joy Division now too.
    7. Don’t Front? You’re a fag.
    8. Get Greengrass a tripod and throw Matt Damon down a flight of stairs. Then you’ve got a movie.
    9. Just say it’s the best movie of the year and be done with it.
    10. Can I rush your frat?

    this sucks.

  49. Matt Says:

    In the words of Beck, “I’ll talk some trash to the garbage”:

    Scott-
    Nah man, my Jewish frat, Gimmel Dalet Hay (Buddyhead chapter), doesn’t allow Gay-bashing virgin homophobes to rush. We’re all booked up until 2020. But thanks, man. You might wanna try ZBT or AEPi down the street. They’ll let in anyone; you’d be a great pledge.

    Tell me how you saw Eastern Promises before A History of Violence…do you have a Delorian, or did you blow Viggo Mortensen after he showed you a rough cut?

    Hard Candy: saw it, bro. Yup Ellen Page is annoying…so is Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza. What of it?

    Now get back to the Radio Shack floor…break was over five minutes ago, you clown. Just how many bottles of ProActive do you own..you strike me as the pimply, mangled-face guy that nobody wants to stend next to on Picture Day…

  50. Josh Says:

    Matt, I’m totally on this list, ‘cept for the shit I haven’t seen. And I agree 100% w/ you on the 300 inclusion, cos I was also stoned and saw that shit on IMAX. Plus I ate a fucking 1lb hamburger before the movie, so I could totally identify with the fucking badasses in this movie.
    Too all you other fucko’s that seem to think 300 represents some sort of knuckle-dragging homogay cinema…NO FUCKING SHIT. First of all, it’s based on a comic book, which isn’t exactly high-fucking art. Second of all, I don’t know if you’re all that hep on Greek history, but it’s amazing that the Greek isles are even populated by people in modern times, that’s how into ass blasting those guys were.
    Goddammit, not every movie has to invoke some deep thought or have some double meaning. Just think back to when you were 13 and you saw Emmerich blow up all those fucking important buildings in Independence Day. That shit was rad….

    Knocked Up was probably the most hilarious and touching movie of ‘07 for me. Because it mirrors my wife and I’s situation….minus all the Jewishness, the E! Channel, and me being surrounded by a fantastic supporting cast of friends.

  51. MeatMeAtTheDerby! Says:

    this post was so fuckin’ Money!!!

  52. I'm from Brazil! Says:

    Brazil boy: we here at Buddyhead are reading your IP from a Southern California Road Runner Internet account, dipshit.

    Unless this is Lil’ Ze…you’re full of it.

    IP: 76.173.10.88, hit up Lil Ze’ and tell him how good the new Yeah Yeah Yeah’s EP is.

    I’ve never read Buddyhead before, so I can’t possibly think it’s worse and/or gone downhill in anyway… in other words; fuck the haters, that shit was funny. Good show. You’ve got a new reader.

    You spelt Moron wrong, dipshit.

  60. patrick Says:

    yeah…okay.

    juno sucks a fat dick, overly cute, precious, quirky dialogue alternating between 5-year old pop culture references and cheese dick moralizing.

    300 is racist, homophobic, christian right ape-jock bullshit. im a dude too and i l dont like movies with almost naked guys with fucking 9-pack abs. a homoerotic gay-panic film? that shit is weak.

    besides those two i dig it.

    peep the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford. that was the best american movie of the year.

    Juno did suck. Every time music was mentioned I thought my head was going to explode. Homegirl had to teach Teenwolf Too about the fucking Stooges!?! I know the nostalgia is kicking in, but if I have to hear one more dipshit tell me the early ninties was the best time for music…and if I see Nevermind over Revolver in one more bullshit “100 albums of all time” shit list…fuck this, I’m gonna go remix Full Moon Fever.

    ha. relax. most kids i’ve known who also know about buddyhead liked this site for two reasons:

    this bag of asses made people laugh, for a time…

    AND you guys weren’t singing praises for shitty bands, labels, tours, reunions, re-issues, festivals… and least of all movies. yeah, ok… buddyhead is this big mature, growing young-adult that doesn’t have time to be funny anymore so they hire other half-wits to do it. great. grand. i could give a fuck.

    …but even the Westword and the Onion weekly (in the shitty wasteland of Denver, duh, take your shots while you can) came up with a better ‘best of’ movie list for ‘07 that most people look to in order to see something they haven’t seen.

    low-blows aside, you guys could do better… which seems to be the theme behind all of the feedback from most of these posts.

    excuse me,

    i have to wash my face before i get back to sorting fuses and drawing ASCII swastikas on my blackberry.

    On movie Review.

    Fuck yeah dude. Eastern Promises. Loved it. History of Violence. Loved it. 300 - obviously. Haven’t gotten a chance to see Michael Clayton. Wanted ttwo. No cuntry for Old Men. Javier Bardem twisted my perception of acting into a relm I can’t understand. Fuckin sick. I’ve only seen it once so far, but like all Coen Bros (Millers Crossing muthafucka!) movies I’m looking forward to trying to figure it out. I’m still on Oh Brother Where Art thou. I heard it has something to do with THe Odyssy but I can’t locate the fuckin Cyclops. Best movie of 2007. Swingers. You don’t need to say that dude. Everyone already knows. The Jon Favroe phone call to the chick he meets is my favorite. Fuckin Asshole.

  65. pussy2.o Says:

    ok one: juno’s not for old people. if you’re over 20 chances are you won’t like it, but teen’s will fucken love it. 2: 300 was AMAZING, i’m so sure i was wet the entire time i watched it.
    –georgey’s just a nice peice of sex, as is day-lewis. haven’t seen control but i’m sure it’s amazing.
    and to all the fuckers complaining about this review. there’s a reason why buddyhead has ‘click here to continue reading…’ option. don’t fucken click on it if you’re gunna complain. assholes.
    o and knocked up sucked, but atleast heigl has nice tits. they delivered the best performance in the entire flick, aside from her vag ofcourse.
