The Movie Show is a radio program about movies which runs from 7-9pm Tuesday nights on WUAG 103.1fm in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Movie Show leaves the sordid world of Celebrity Gossip behind and brings you the latest Film News, Reviews, and Box Office Statistics-all heavily seasoned with esoteric Fanboy 'Jokes' and lots of great Movie Music! We also provide information on what films are playing in Greensboro as well as other events of interest to Triad Cinephiles. If you live in the Greensboro area you can listen to our Radio Show on Tuesdays from 7 to 9pm on WUAG 103.1. If you live in Uganda or North Dakota or some other equally fictitious place you can listen to a Live Stream of the show at WUAG.net. Finally, if you feel you have better things to do on Tuesday nights but you spend your weekends alone writing terrible stories about a fictional character who has never known the warmth of another person's touch, we archive the shows at TheMovieShow.org so you might forget for a couple hours how horribly lonely your life really is.
So, I saw Let the Right One In and well... it makes my top five for this year, but I believe that is more a sign of the weakness in film for 08 than the greatness of the movie. It was good, but in a great year for movies it would barely break my top ten. As much as I loved the Dark Knight I didn't imagine it was going to top my list for 08. I feel the same way about Benjamin Button. Good movie, but how did it make it into my top five? I haven't seen Revolutionary Road, but I loved the novel, maybe it will top the list, probably not. Oh and I saw Joe's list of 2008 movies he’d seen. Nick and Norah wasn't terrible, it just wasn't as John Hughesesque as it was hoping to be, but it was at least just meh. I think that was my only real disagreement. Oh and Pineapple Express was in my opinion somewhere between good and just meh. My big disappointment was of course Zack and Miri, not that I was expecting much at this point, which is sad to me, but wow what a waste of time. It was an okay movie I guess, but it just came across as flat and uninspired which kills me. When the weakest part of a Kevin Smith film is the script I think we have all lost something. Oh well I guess I will head home, stick in Clerks or Seven, and imagine how brilliant a filmmaker I could be if I just got up of my ass and made something. LOL But I guess that is what we all do after a year that left us wanting more instead of reveling in what we got.
i liked your reference to the pornos for pyros song on the show tonite-- i have a vivid memory of being in an argument with someone in hs, circa '93 or so, driving down the road & tossing the pets single cd (back when those were all the rage) out the window. that and the cure were among my first cd purchases that i can recollect... ah the good ol days :-)
Wow. I am inordinately excited about that Vernon Wells interview. Commando is one of the 1980s' greatest achievements, and that is largely thanks to Wells' chainmail shirt and pornstache. If I ever have an archenemy, I can only hope he's got half the style of Wells.
