 Coolness: 150405 | "motha fucka thread" Update » Mico wrote on Thu Jul 20, 2006 @ 11:01pm Yeah, I see what you mean with the whole "update action."
NOAH, I blame thee!!! ;) Anyways, yes... Why we Fight is fucking awesome! And I agree that you have to step back from the film when your involved in those type of subjects. It's easy to be biased. Personally, I thought the movie did a great job of not attacking the republicans -or whoever. They showed every angle of "why they fight." You should also check out the Frank Capra films. They can be pretty boring, but the footage would make awesome visuals. ALSO! The Power of Nightmares. This revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests. The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with top officials and experts in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who is behind all of the fear-mongering. This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has been used to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning over power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas. The Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a powerful, united terrorist organization waiting to strike our societies is largely an illusion. Wherever the BBC team looked for al-Qaeda, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the sleeper cells in America, they found that we are chasing a phantom enemy. For all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is a must-watch video.

 Coolness: 75615 | I've been neglecting my film watching... have a copy of Altman's Short Cuts sitting around - keep meaning to watch it, but I've also been working my way through the book of Carver's stories that the film is based on.... also have Arrabal's Viva La Muerte sitting in the other room... maybe I should watch that back to back with Fando Y Lis (Jodorowsky's first film)...
Between work and training and gigs, I haven't had too much free time lately... although, on the subject of Mendes, I finally watched Road To Perdition the other week. A little too sentimental, but really nicely shot. I much prefer the Lone Wolf & Cub films from the 70's (which have a similar plot arc), though. |

Jason Mewes (born June 12, 1974) is an American television and film actor from New Jersey. He has had roles in several low-budget independent films. He is best known, however, for playing the role of foul-mouthed drug dealer "Jay" in the movies written and directed by Kevin Smith, with whom he has been close friends since he was a teenager. He currently lives with Smith, Smith's wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith (and her parents), and Smith's child in their Los Angeles home. Jason Mewes was born to a heroin addicted mother and an unknown father in Highlands, New Jersey, and was raised by his aunt through most of his childhood while his mother spent time in jail. When his mother was out of jail, she would usually steal credit cards from neighbor's mail boxes in order to fuel her habit. Using stolen money, she bought Mewes one of the few Christmas gifts he remembers receiving: a bike. During a brief period when she acted as a drug dealer, she would send a young Mewes out on his bike to unwittingly deliver drugs to people she didn't trust enough to deliver them herself. When his mother wanted to go out for the evening, she would leave Jason and his sister at the homes of people she barely knew, these people would lock them in the closet and from this Jason has fear of small spaces. Update » Holly_Golightly wrote on Sat Jul 22, 2006 @ 2:16am Despite this upbringing, Mewes grew up to be a fairly level-headed, if occasionally offbeat, child, and graduated from high school. He also became the stuff of legend in his hometown of Highlands with rumors that he broke a window at a local pharmacy, or that he had sex with a dog (neither of which were true).
When Kevin Smith returned to New Jersey to make his new film Chasing Amy starring Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams (and based on his relationship with the latter), Smith didn't need Mewes as much as in the two previous films, mainly because the Jay and Silent Bob characters were restricted to one 10-minute scene (in which Smith's Silent Bob character shares much of the dialogue) which was shot over the course of a night. Mewes had memorized all his dialogue and pulled it off without a hitch, while Smith struggled with the large monologue he had written for himself. Unknown to many was that this was the point where Jason's use of cocaine and heroin was beginning. 
Chasing Amy was released to stellar reviews and even some awards, and the $12 million gross of the $250,000 film paved the way for Kevin to make Dogma, a script which utilized the Jay and Silent Bob characters more than any previous film. Between the making of the two films, Kevin and Jason attended an AIDS benefit hosted by Harvey Weinstein, the chairman of Miramax. Upon learning that Mewes' mother was HIV positive, he promised to get her to the best doctors in New York, a promise he kept. Soon after this, Kevin opened up his own comic book store, called Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, in Red Bank, New Jersey. Mewes asked if he could work at the store full time and Update » Holly_Golightly wrote on Sat Jul 22, 2006 @ 2:16am Kevin thought it was a good idea, giving him the run of the place. A few months after the opening of the store, Smith came in several times to find a customer waiting for Jason to return. At times Mewes seemed ill and frequently fell asleep. During the recording of the Chasing Amy laserdisc commentary, Kevin confronted Mewes and asked him about his drug use. After much denial, Mewes finally admited that he was using heroin.
Smith moved Jason out of his mother's house and into his own Red Bank apartment. The night before Mewes started a methadone program, he was so ill from withdrawals, he tearfully begged Kevin for money to buy heroin, which he did. Smith says Mewes still refers to that day as "the day you shook hands with the devil." Mewes then began the methadone program and started to successfully kick his heroin habit and spent more and more time with Kevin, frequently going on trips to find Star Wars action figures at Toys-R-Us to take his mind off things. Mewes started to show even more signs that he was becoming healthy again. After finding out that respected English actor Alan Rickman was going to star in Dogma, Mewes proceeded to memorize not only his lines, but the entire screenplay as well so he "wouldn't piss off that Rickman dude." 
While making Dogma, Kevin and producer friend Scott Mosier instructed Jason's new girlfriend, Stephanie, to watch the seven-months-clean Jason for any signs that he had started to use drugs again. To their knowledge, Mewes was clean throughout the shooting of Dogma but they later found out that Stephanie had actually become Mewes' connection for heroin while they were filming in Pittsburgh. Due to the fact that Stephanie was getting paid, and Mewes was getting his biggest paycheck yet, they were able to quietly keep themselves equipped with drugs and not suffer from withdrawal symptoms, while keeping it hidden from the cast and crew. Ironically, Mewes' Dogma performance is considered by many to be one of his best, despite being a heroin addict throughout the shoot. He would even frequently fall asleep while they were filming scenes but Smith, still somewhat naïve on the subject of drug abuse, didn't realize this was a sign that Jason had begun using again. 
By this point, Smith had fallen in love with and married Jennifer Schwalbach. She had become pregnant with their daughter and they soon moved into a new house. Jason and Stephanie opted to stay with Jason's mother until Kevin later found out that Mewes had once again slipped into heroin usage. He moved Jason and Stephanie into his own house and decided to get them off heroin, cold turkey. Mewes got into an extremely bad state and took to crying and screaming at Kevin; at one point, he even bashed his head against the wall so much that he drew blood. On another day, when Kevin and Jennifer were having a party in their house, Mewes disappeared to the bathroom for over an hour. Update » Holly_Golightly wrote on Sat Jul 22, 2006 @ 2:17am Kevin later found out that he was smoking cocaine in the bathroom but, at the time, Jason denied everything so Kevin threw him out of the house, while Stephanie stayed. Mewes would call multiple times every day until Kevin finally gave in and let him stay there again, with even stricter rules than before. Shortly after, when Stephanie's parents called trying to find her, Kevin broke it to them that she had become a drug addict and her parents came to take her away. Realizing what his life had become, Mewes promised Kevin that he would defeat his heroin habit.
Once again, shortly after, Mewes started using heroin and Kevin kicked him out. Jason lived with his mother after this and found himself hooked on a new drug: Oxycontin. After travelling to both France and England for Dogma-related events, Kevin moved Jason back into his house in order to quit the drugs cold turkey. After a month, Mewes was still in pain but recovering and went with Kevin to L.A. for an awards show. One night, Mewes managed to take Kevin's ATM card, after telling him he was going to use it to withdraw money and his taxi fare, and withdrew $1,100 from it by early morning. He spent most of the night trying to get drugs to no avail and eventually returned to his hotel room and trashed it. That day, Kevin and Scott Mosier put Jason in an L.A.-based rehab center, which he escaped from. Eventually he was found and put back in once again, and not allowed to take phone calls for a week. When Kevin finally spoke to him again, Mewes said the place felt more like a psychiatric ward, so he was moved to another rehab in L.A. where he proceeded to get clean. During this time, Kevin and Jennifer returned to Jersey so Jen could give birth to their daughter, Harley Quinn Smith. A month later, they returned to L.A. where Mewes was now substantially cleaned up and much better to be around. He recorded tracks for the first few episodes of Clerks: The Animated Series and then later returned to New Jersey, where he became a model citizen, refusing all the drugs that were offered to him, and steering clear of his mother's Oxycontin. His one request for the New York premiere of Dogma was that his ex-girlfriend Stephanie be allowed to attend. Kevin agreed but Mewes didn't return for the post-film Q&A or the party, and it was later found out that he had retreated to his hotel room with Stephanie where they had shot up heroin, after being clean for only four months. The next time Smith saw Mewes was at baby Harley's christening, where Jason stayed for only a short while before leaving. In order to try and get Mewes to quit drugs, Smith told him that he was writing a screenplay for a Jay and Silent Bob feature where Jason would be the lead star, and get a large paycheck. The condition was that Jason get off heroin and Oxycontin. Jason agreed and checked into another rehab clinic. Update » Holly_Golightly wrote on Sat Jul 22, 2006 @ 2:18am Seeing him again a month later, Kevin found Jason much healthier and happier after spending time in a rehab (along with, ironically, friend Ben Affleck). However, when he was at Kevin's house on Thanksgiving of that year, it became clear that Jason had begun using drugs again after someone offered him cocaine at a Q&A in Colorado. He stayed downstairs at Kevin's house and kept saying to Kevin's daughter Harley that he would play with her when she asked, only to disappear again. Angered at Mewes' attitude towards their daughter, Kevin's wife Jennifer told Kevin that she wanted Jason out of the house.
Despite writing a role for him as Arthur Brickan in his new film Jersey Girl, it became clear to Kevin that Jason wouldn't be able to act in the film. He had dropped out of two rehabs that Ben Affleck had paid for, and a bench warrant for his arrest had been issued for him in New Jersey. On the advice of a doctor, Smith began to use a "tough love" technique on his friend, not letting him in his house or letting him see Harley anymore. By this point, Mewes had taken to occasionally living on the streets and had dropped out of the Betty Ford Clinic after only two days. He would occasionally come and see Kevin, who was editing Jersey Girl at the time, and borrow money from him, which he said was for cigarettes but was actually to fuel his continuing drug habit. After a scare when it was said that Mewes had died, he finally checked into another rehab and began to clean himself up again. The no-frills rehab seemed to click and, finally, Jason Mewes began to clean up his life. In late October 2003, Smith and company held a party for fans to celebrate Mewes cleaning up. After struggling with opiate addiction his entire adult life, in 2003, Mewes finally managed to get clean and stay that way. Coincidentally or not, 2003 was also the year buprenorphine was first introduced to the U.S. market for this purpose, providing opiate addicted patients with a revolutionary new tool to assist in their recovery. While he is mostly known for acting in films, Mewes also has worked in television. He voiced the role of Jay in the short-lived Clerks: The Animated Series. He, along with Smith, have made appearances on Degrassi: The Next Generation. He appeared in two episodes of a three-part story arc in which he and Smith film a new addition to Smith's New Jersey films entitled Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh? at Degrassi Junior High. They appear again on Degrassi, at the premiere of Jay and Silent Bob go Canadian, Eh? in Canada. Mewes, Smith, and Degrassi star Stacie Mistysyn made the cover of Canadian TV Guide. In 1998 he starred as "Gary Lamb - Ground Activist" in a series of Nike commercials directed by Smith. Filmography * Clerks.

| Coolness: 685535 | Yeah it was a pretty amazing movie. Best decapitation since The Omen :D
Just watched Session 9 today; An asbestos abatement crew wins the bid for an abandoned insane asylum. What should be a straightforward, if rather rushed, job, is complicated by the personal histories of the crew. In particular, Hank is dating Phil's old girlfriend, and Gordon's new baby seems to be unnerving him more than should be expected. Things get more complicated as would-be lawyer Mike plays the tapes from a former patient with multiple personalities, including the mysterious Simon who does not appear until Session 9...
Pretty cool movie, anyone into urban exploration would absolutely love to find a location as cool as that huge asylum. Lots of creepy moments, but for once I found that the movie would have done better if there was a little bit more explained at the end. |

| Coolness: 150405 | BRAVO, SHOWCASE!!
I absolutely love those two channels. WHY!? Because, today, I saw three (3!!!) fucking awesome movies off them (Bravo & Showcase.. obviously). 1) French Connection 2: Gene Hackman!!! He was absolutely amazing in this film -my dad kept telling me that this film is what "made" him. This classic-biotch had INCREDIBLE cinematogrpahy (the use of first person, imo, has never been done better... like, like, in the last scene where Popeye is chasing the Druglord guy,... the sound of him panting and the first person views of when he's running or when he's pushing through doors (it's like watching someone play Doom 2!!!!) is fucking incredible!) It was the first time i've ever seen a Frankheimer film, and wowzer, that film was fucking awesome -especially the ending!!! ((9.5/10)) 2) THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK: Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon & Michelle Pfeiffer (she's so cute in this film). This film is again is fucking awesome/hilarious. Jack Nicholson is a bloody genius -some of his scenes are oscar worthy ( I don't know if he was nominated or anything, but)... the roles, and the script are great, and at time, the plot can get pretty odd. If you love any of these actors/actresses, you must watch this... or else!! (8.5/10) 3) DUPLESSIS' ORPHANS (TVMS) * * * setting: P.Q. (1997) Lawrence Arcouette, Pierre-Luc Brillant, Louis-Phillippe Desjardins, Michel Goyette, Julien Poulin, Helene Gregoire, Michael Caloz.....Inspired-by-fact tale of orphans in 1950s Quebec (under provincial Premier Maurice Duplessis) whose lives in Catholic run orphanges, already problematic, are thrown completely upside down when the orphanges are reclassified as mental asylums and many of the normal children are reclassified as mentally handicapped in order to secure more lucrative funding. The problem with stories about disturbing events is how to tell the tale in such a way that the facts, and the outrage, are conveyed, yet it's also watchable as "entertainment" -- in other words, how to make the story ppalatable, without over-sanitizing it. This mini-series succeeds surprisingly well, with good performances (including the child actors), mood and compelling characters. A truly disturbing story, because the evil here (though including abuse) is mainly that of simple...expediency. It wasn't that those involved intended to hurt the children...the welfare of the children was just completely irrelevant to them. Unconscionable, and yet, disturbingly familiar. The dubbed version of this aired in English on the CBC in 1999. I lifted the cast list from the final episode, and so may have inadvertently missed crediting (some of) the child actors. sc: Jacques Savoie, with Pierre Olivier (inspired by the story and characters created by Bruno Roy). dir: Johanne Pregent... blah, blah This film was surprisingly impressive. As mentioned, the child actors were amazing (AMAZING) and some of the photography was good too. The plot was a little too historical/overly dramatic... so, it was a little boring at time, but the amazing acting distracts you completly from all the jive (even though it's all historically accurate). 8/10 "Every night with my star friends. Shake your body like the dance. Stupid smiles and autograhs... This is a song for our fans!" |

 Coolness: 166490 | Hey, Betty, thanks for the Clerks 2 review, I was curious to know whether it was Smith's best movie, or a failed sequel...seems as though it's great, so now I don't have to worry about being dissapointed (like with JerseyGirl)...cool..
Here's a threesome I recently saw: GREAT - Kung Pow...this film kicks ass... ALRIGHT - Ong Bak...some martial arts experts wouldn't be impressed, but I was,stunts without strings are always fun, but the instant replays got annoying after a while... TERRIBLE - Tube...more of an action flick, by Jon Woo, I believe, going with the "who needs a story or an explanation" technique of throwing over the top scenes together, including moments of sappy drama...one of the worst movies I've seen in the past year... ...of course I rent pop movies for entertainment and not inspiration... |

| Coolness: 75615 | I really liked Session 9... one of the better atmospheric films I've seen. There's a handful of deleted scenes that explain a bit more, but I'm kind of glad they weren't included in the final cut. Imho - the unexplained is a lot more unnerving when it remains unexplained.
Finally got around to watching Aja's version of Hills Have Eyes... really wasn't too crazy about it. I dunno... I really like the original and didn't think the remake added anything terribly interesting... in fact, I thought the rather in-your-face bit with the drooler in the chair essentially saying "we're doing this to you because you did this to us" detracted from the film. The opening montage was more than enough to drive that point home. In all fairness, I watched Ultraviolet right afterwards - and damn... that movie was so incredibly craptacular that Hills Have Eyes seemed relatively brilliant by comparison... Also watched Short Cuts this weekend - which was great... although it was effectively trumped by Magnolia (which is a pretty heavy homage to Altman, but pushes thing out so much further). |

| Coolness: 158680 | i think i'm gonna take session 9 this week...it's been maybe 4 years that i watched it... and i find an interesting thing about the photo technic employed for this movie :- This was one of the first feature films shot using Sony's 24P HD video, which shoots at 24 frames per second, like film, as opposed to the 30 frames per second of conventional NTSC video. Using this technology, Brad Anderson and director of photography Uta Briesewitz were able to produce the uniquely effective, deep-focus images using mostly natural light.
******************************************************************************************************* me too i really prefer the original hills have eyes. i liked the fact that aja add all the village in the movie but me too i felt that the replique "we do that because gnagnagna..." was too much...like duh? we didn't understood before! the little editing/videoclip at the begining of the movie seem a new fashion for horror remake..in the remake of dawn of the dead you also have one...in 28 day later too.. not so bad..but you feel that it's for the teen mtv market..
