I remember the ad with the fat guy shouting "the condoms! don't forget the condoms!" and the audience cracking up. It seemed like a line Fox just made them put in so it would be risque or "controversial" (for the early '90s, that is). I remember running around my house quoting it and my mom getting very angry.

Remember when you could get "themes" on Windows? And people made them around movies? Like there was a Clerks theme and an Animal House theme.. well my roommate had a Heat theme and it said that line every time he got an e-mail. Sometimes that would be in the middle of the night. Never got old.

Apparently he also did one for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (with Nichols, yet again) and one for the '90s indie Clean, Shaven. I've never listened to the Solaris one, but since it's him and James Cameron, sounds like a must listen.

Is it true they don't really sell Mello Yello outside the south anymore? I live in Nashville and I can't say I've gone looking for it anytime I go up north or out west, but I've heard rumors.

Yeah, it's pretty drawn out, like Kiedis really wanted to make the most of his screen time and be as distracting as possible to anyone in the movie theater saying "wait a tic, isn't that?…" I also like the part where they're watching him in the house and he's going crazy listening to his headphones. I think it's him

Need to check that and the Catch 22 commentary out. His tension filled commentary with a passive aggressive Lem Dobbs on The Limey DVD is a must.

Soderbergh's are always interesting. He brings in other filmmakers, sometimes people like Neil LaBute or Mark Romanek, who have nothing to do with the movie and they will ask him questions or just comment. He is not reverent of his films at all, but not overly critical to a self-loathing degree either. On the

Phat Beach 2? Get Doug Ellin on the phone!

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure the early '90s Mtn Dew ads were just rip offs of Point Break.

Utah! Two!

Wrong!
Utah: Okay. I get it. This is where you tell me that "locals rule", and that Yuppie insects like me shouldn't be surfing the break, right?
Tone: That would be…a waste of time.

Or Busey? His motivation was as clear as day. He wanted meatball subs. Two of em. TWO.
"Around that corner is a sandwich shop. They sell meatball sandwiches. Best l've ever tasted. Would you go get me two? Come on, partner. Two. Thank you. Utah? Get me two."

Demolition Man II: Demolition Womyn

It's very good, definitely a worthy follow-up to Furr (while the last one really was something else entirely). Anyone who likes BT should check out the Black River Killer EP—contains some of the best stuff they've done.

I think Metropolitan is probably set in the late '60s/early '70s, or whenever Stillman would have been the age of the characters, but he either didn't have the budget or the interest in making it a period movie. I remember either reading or listening to the commentary where Stillman talked about how they had to get

For sure. Highball, too. Although I've always thought of Baumbach's characters as the more progressive, creative alternative to Stillman's conservative characters.

I'm pretty sure even Stillman's first two movies are set in some vague late '70s early '80s period…Metropolitan may even be set earlier. I'm not sure if Stillman is making some point about how these wealthy, overeducated people are pretty much the same in any era, untouched by any and all trends as Yankee Deer

I'm guessing Brody tries to pick up the Eigeman slack?

If you have to guess, is it really a spoiler?

I would like to know how the reviewers might rank Damsels among Stillman's other films.
