    • Haven't seen Avatar nor do I ever plan on it. The characters alone look so completely stupid that I was repulsed immediately into not watching it. Ross Jesus Navaro Richards said:

Also ''In a blue world'', a Spanish take off of clockwork orange.. Bolywood, and feelgood films Make me cringe. Any nice family comedy is sure to be a destroyer of my day. Oh yeah, and anything from Trauma movies, while i love trash and exploitation, there has to be a fence, way up high to stop people viewing this tripe .

    • One of the worst movies I've seen recently has to be this Japanese zombie flic called "Stacy." I looks like it was filmed with the cameras they use to film soap operas, and (like a lot of Japanese films) made no sense at all, but was extremely gory. I'll try to summarize as best I can. It's basically a strange time when girls all over the word enter a state of extreme happiness when they reach the age of about 15-18. After this state, they die and become zombies and exhibit something called, and I quote "butterfly twinkle powder" ...yeah, don't ask... it's just all kinds of fucked up, yet I gave it 3 stars on Netflix for some reason. I think it's good to watch bad movies sometimes just so you can say, and really feel like "I could write a better movie than this crap!" Here's the trailer just in case you want to see it:

    • Can't believe the dissing on David Lynch.. or blood sucking freaks for that matter ;-0 Louis De Jesus performance top notch. I recently walked out of the new Alice in Wonderland. That piece of shit had no substance. I know Alice is supposed to be irreverent / psychedelic, but the movie was basically just vignettes of the highlights of the story strung together with 3D effects. The only good thing about this flick was Crispen Glover. I left half way through.. Just couldn't stand it. And I didn't like how they over-sexualized alice either. What a barf fest.

    • Titanic and Twilight are all well and bad but does anyone out there find themselves watching movies that are neither so bad they are good nor good simply out of curiosity? In Germany the comedy is dreadful but I find myself often drawn to sitting through more than an hour's worth of shit jokes about gay stereotypes and people falling over almost for confirmation that almost all German comedy is shit.

      Am I alone with this or is that normal?

      Shuhe des Manitu

      Traum Shiff Suprise - like German Spaceballs with a gay taxi

      7 Zwerge - snow white and the 7 dwarfs (v original) and they even work in a joke where they send for the Jäger (hunter) but get the Neger (black man)

      I got stuck watching Titanic with my family once, one of the most awkward and uncomfortable times of my life. They were sitting there crying 'n' shit and I'm going what the fuck did you just put me through?? Needless to say I haven't been to a family gathering in over ten years.
      I feel your pain. Titanic is one of only two films I had to stop watching. The other was Houseboat Horror (not as good as it sounds). Titanic was by far the most horrific thing on water or cellulod.

    • Oh yeah, I was in college in the mid-'80s in Warrensburg, MO and belonged to some group of "radical" No-Nukes group. "Radical" in that about the only radical thing we did was get together in each other's dorm rooms, talk about how fucked up the world was and drink lots of beer. But I digress. Whiteman Air Force Base was nearby and we had several missile silos right outside of town. It was enough to creep you the fuck out, that's for sure. Esp. with Dr. Evil (aka Ronnie Reagan) with his shaky finger near the button. Kit Kellison said:

      Love that misogynistic dog and the republican underground hive.

      I don't think most of my generation thought we'd still remain un-nuked into the 21st century. Might have had something to do with the low graduation rate at my high school. Seriously, almost everyone I knew had nightmares that featured apocolyptic scenarios.

    • I have to agree Shane-O. And as far as I'm concerned it's the only Don Johnson movie worth watching, he showed such promise, what happened?! Like Keanu Reeves, they were created for sci-fi flicks and only sci-fi flicks.

      St Louis's beer culture revival

      By Franz Strasser
      BBC World News America

      St Louis has long been known as America's beer capital. It's the home of the US's largest brewery, Anheuser-Busch, and more than a dozen craft breweries - which have been gaining new fans after Anheuser-Busch's sale to Belgium's InBev in 2008.

      To most people around the world, Anheuser Busch is America's brewery and America's beer is Budweiser. To its hometown crowd, it has simply been known as "the brewery".

      "There was no part of this community that wasn't a part of the brewery," says Dan Kopman, who founded Schlafly Beer in St Louis in 1992.

      "Everyone in town knew someone who worked for the brewery."

      It gave its name to university and hospital buildings. It donated beer to charity events. It "touched so many people in so many ways," Kopman says.

      The fact that "AB", as most locals call the company, became a major international player only added to their sense of pride.

      When Kopman and his partner opened what was then the second brewery in town, they had to build a restaurant along with it, to get people to try their beer.

      Allegiances

      "Reaching consumers through the normal channels was going to be very difficult because the bars were so loyal to Anheuser Busch," said Kopman, who learned his trade in the UK at Young & Co's Wandsworth brewery.

      At the time of Schlafly's opening, there were around 100 small and independent craft breweries in the United States. That number has grown to more than 1,500 in the last two decades, according to the Brewers Association.

      There are now 14 in St Louis alone - and the sale of Anheuser Busch to the Belgian beverage giant InBev, has given them a big chance to expand sales to drinkers re-thinking their allegiance to the AB.

      "My grandfather, my father, they were the guys drinking this beer and they drank it because they had pride in St Louis and because they had pride in the brewery," says Mike Sweeney, a local beer blogger.

      "The younger people are going to try something from the guys that they know are brewing here in St Louis," said Sweeney.

      "The ones that are actually hands on, somebody that they can go into the bar and actually sit next to and start talking to about beer."

      Broken rules

      Kopman calls it a revival not just of the beer culture in St Louis but in America in general. In St Louis, 40 breweries were wiped out during the prohibition, leaving only one.

      The variety of beer available in the city now would have been unthinkable just a few decades ago.

      "There are more new beer styles being created here, there are more rules being broken here, there are new beer styles being created every day in the 1,500 small American breweries," says Kopman.

      "If I was to change our Pale Ale recipe at Young's, the head brewer I worked for in London would have had something to say about that.

      "The new generation of brewers in the US wants to experiment with different combinations of grain, hops, and yeast strains. They do not feel that tug of a tradition that might tie them to do something a certain way."

      Something unique

      While overall beer sales in the US were down 2.2% in 2009 and the sales of imported beer were down almost 10%, growth of the craft brewing industry in 2009 was up 10.3%, according to the Brewers Association.

      For Dan Kopman and Schafly Beer, the biggest challenge at the moment is how to stay small.

      Right now, the brewery is producing 50,000 barrels a year, while in St Louis alone, some 2.5 million barrels are consumed each year. For Kopman, it is not about challenging Anheuser Busch, but offering something that makes St Louis unique again.

      "You are not going to get Schlafly Light in 30-packs," he says, with a smile.

      "In a time when you can get everything everywhere I really enjoy people coming up to me and asking where can I buy this beer. And I'll say - St Louis."

    • Kümmerling is that filth that tramps drink as it comes in little bottles. Alcoholics are rather funny in the Ruhr as they always congregate around electric boxes, park benches and occasionally Stehcafes. I'm sure in Britain most alcoholics drink at home.

    • Zeitgeist was a joke, the film maker took 3 subjects and mixed them into one film as if he/she didn't have enough content or couldn't be bothered to make 2 or 3 films. The history lesson into Christianity's supposed pagen roots didn't really prove or disprove anything andthe 9/11 thing was already done to death by the time the film had come out.

      And by that time the left had already made up its mind on the Bush administration so there was nothing new there either.

    • After watching the last 30 minutes of USA's group-winning match against Armenia, my attention was immediately diverted to John Isner's grueling tennis match at Wimbledon, which went on for another several hours that day and didn't even end until being resumed the next day. In the world of ESPN, that's what happens. Instead of basking in a dramatic achievement for the soccer team, we Americans are quickly diverted into the next event, and only the true fanatics are left basking in their glory.
      On Saturday, I was sitting in Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City watching the Royals host the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, while at the far outfield end of the stadium (beyond the baseball field's wall) there was a large tv showing the soccer match to anyone interested enough to ignore the baseball game they had paid to attend, and there was a nice crowd there. However, when that crowd started filing out and back into the outfield stands to resume watching baseball, it was pretty obvious what had just transpired--Ghana scoring the winning goal. As a side note, later that evening in my hotel, I saw a sportscast during the local news about Kansas City's professional soccer team (Wizards) getting absolutely destroyed by the New York team earlier that evening. And with that note, my interest in soccer is officially shut down for another 4 years. Bring on more baseball and Mizzou football will be here in another 8 weeks or so!
