Yeah, we are jam packed, and man I forgot how many movies we still have left from old Johnny boy.

When I went this Monday to see the remake of Fright Night (long and short of it...it was removed enough from the original that I was able to enjoy it. Not a perfect movie, but worth a watch), they had a pre-movie short on the making of this film. I was thinking that the title sounded familiar, but I just couldn't place it, so I blew it off as just another redneck group terrorizes the new in town family/new in town family fights back film that I completely dismissed it. But now that you have pointed out that it is a remake of a Peckinpah film done by a left-leaning hack director (He made The Contender about a Congresswoman who had a deviant sexual past that gets brought up when she is nominated to be VP and Commander-In Chief, the Genna Davis as Hillary progenitor President), I now have reason to have more than just apathy for it. I have not seen this film, but it has now been added to my Netflix queue, and I might just seek it out online if the rest of the parts are accessible on YouTube. From the opening scene you posted, Chris, it looks like a really intense film, and my knowledge of Peckinpah tells me that the violence will not be shyed away from.

Well, it would have been good Darwinism if he had landed on a picket fence post balls first, but I get what you are saying. I am one of the most boring, milquetoast people you will ever meet, and I have never dabbled into any drugs. That being said, I have had some experiences with friends using. Mostly pot and some LSD, but I was witness to my room-mate's bad trip one time, and it pretty much took away any desire I might have had to try them. Someone had slipped her a hit of acid at this club we were at, and on our way home she kept begging me to pull the car over because she thought we were going to drive into a lake. Luckily she had a friend with her who had some experience with acid trips, and he talked her down and made it less frightening. It didn't help that at the time that the apartment we were living in was totally 70's decor, with wallpaper in the kitchen that was brown with orange sunbursts on it. She spent the rest of the night with her friend, staring at the wall and watching it breathe...

Giving someone LSD without their knowledge is one of the most dangerous, low-down dirty things someone can do to someone, especially if they had never taken it before. I'd love to slip some to the director of the Straw Dogs remake, the crappy kind that the Mafia used to synthesize from rat poison. There, I brought it back.

This wasn't Reeve's last film before the accident. His last movie was a HBO tele-film where he played a cop that (get this) pretended to be crippled to get on pension.
