Vintage Recommendations

Over the past few weeks it has become apparent to me that either people don't have the money to go out anymore or people just don't like going out anymore. Maybe people know the places I frequent and are currently avoiding me. A harsh assumption but it would be relieving to see familiar faces out and about. With summer time coming back around I hope that good friends do aswell. That being said I can definitely appreciate and understand the adventure of house parties or nights in. We need more movie nights. I admit that lately I have dropped the ball on several occasions but time needs to be made for movie nights. The last movie night I had will be noted in history books and timelines of human existence. Right up there with walking upright, using sharpened tools and the industrial revolution will be Dukes and I watching 70's and 80's films and drinking many a drink. Seriously, kids are going to read about this.

That being said, I have two recommendations for those special nights in watching movies. If you don't like horror or movies with brilliant entangled murder plots you're out of luck. I am not in the business of writing reviews or critiquing films simply because I have read too many reviews I disagree with or generally concluded to be a pile of shit. Also, there are countless times that reviews have ruined movies for me. Analogous to wine, you can right a book about it. You can talk about it's origin, tastes and characteristics. It doesn't mean a lot if you don't taste it. WATCH THESE MOVIES, even if you have already seen them.

Blood Simple (1984) Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen



This was Joel and Ethan Coen's first film and in my opinion a masterpiece.

The Brood (1979) Directed by David Cronenberg



Absolutely amazing for a movie drinking game. Try these.
Drink every time someone in the movie takes a drink.
Every time you see a turtleneck shout the name of a reptile. Last one come up with one has to drink.
Drink every time you see someone wearing a collared button up shirt underneath a sweater. (Horrid)
Drink every time someone says "daddy".
Go get another case of beer.
Come home and go to your closet. Put on a collared button up shirt and the ugliest sweater you own. Search the Internet for the same patterns of wallpaper in the movie. Contact me via this blog. I will come over and play the drinking game with you. I will bring my friend Dukes with me and we can laugh, cringe, and insert commentary together (as if we made the movie ourselves), for a small fee that is.
