NEW STUFF IN THEATRES NOW!! It's a great time to check out some new flix. www.pullmanmovies.com will give you a list of sh*t playin' locally. IMO, if you missed Grindhouse, you missed out on the BEST movie of the season, but it's early, so let's have some faith that we will be impressed! Check out something new and let us know what you think....Dirty REALLY needs to know what flix show skin....after all, he isn't going to waste his money on Disney! Brandon is the action junkie, Liz is the resident artsy-fartsy babe and Mistress likes anything with pain and horror....We are happy to share our thoughts about new releases...just ask! Here's the bosses classic pics below:1 DIRTY HARRY 1972 As avenging cop Dirty Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood shoots first and asks questions later, creating the most politically incorrect hero in movie history. With his ever ready .44 magnum ("the most powerful handgun in the world"), Clint brings unreconstructed frontier justice to criminal-coddling San Francisco, becoming a role model for law-and-order conservatives everywhere. Ronald Reagan even took his best line ("Make my day") from Sudden Impact, a later Dirty Harry film. Key Scene Clint's final face-off with Scorpio, the deranged psycho killer. Best Line "You have to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" 2 THE GODFATHER 1972 "What is it with men and The Godfather?" wonders chick-flick princess Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. Tom Hanks responds for us all: "It is the I Ching. It is the sum of all wisdom." Francis Ford Coppola's mob opera is the modern guy's indispensable guide to surviving with honor in a dog-eat-dog world. Key Scene How can anyone choose? The horse head in the bed? Sonny's murder? Michael shooting the cop in the restaurant? We know every one backward and forward. Best Line "Don't ever take sides with anybody against the family again." "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." "Leave the gun; take the cannolis." There are millions of them. 3 SCARFACE 1983 An unapologetic assault on everything decent and honorable -- and that's why we love it. Al Pacino's Tony Montana makes his Michael Corleone look and sound like Mr. Rogers. Nothing beats the film's coke-fueled mobster wisdom. Lines like "First you gotta make the money... then you get the power, then you get the woman" set the tone for a whole generation of gangsta rappers. Key Scene One word: chainsaw. Best Line "Say hello to my leetle friend." 4 DIE HARD 1988 Forget all the great action scenes this film has -- the best moments are when underdog Bruce Willis kicks the snobby Eurotrash villains' asses without ever losing his all-American sense of humor. The scene where the German villain gets his comeuppance for trying to use the word "cowboy" as an insult resonates more today, though it'd be even better if the guy were French. Key Scene Bruce crashes through the window hanging from the firehose. Best Line "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" 5 THE TERMINATOR 1984 Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally offered the human lead, but he realized that a killer robot from the future was the role he was really born to play. "There is a little bit of the Terminator in everybody," director James Cameron observed. "He operates completely outside all the built-in social constraints." Key Scene Any qualms about rooting for a malevolent robot vanish when he vaporizes a tacky L.A. dance club. Best Line "I'll be back." 6 THE ROAD WARRIOR 1981 Along the endless highways of the Australian outback the loner hero of western and samurai fame gets a futuristic face-lift from Mel Gibson's leather-clad Mad Max. The film has it all: punk-rock marauders, a razor-edged boomerang, postnuclear angst, and high-speed demolition-derby car battles, plus just the right amount of mythic uplift to put it over the top. Key Scene When Wez, the deranged Mohawk man, erupts over the hood of Max's truck, it's a "boo" shot for the ages. Best Line "You want to get out of here, you talk to me." 7 THE DIRTY DOZEN 1967 Forget Catch 22: World War II gets its true sixties makeover when Lee Marvin trains a bunch of prison rats and turns them into a squad of stone-cold killers tough enough to make Americans, whether redneck or hippie, proud as hell. The cast is a macho who's who: Jim Brown, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine... Telly Savalas! A true believer is anyone who's seen it a dozen times. Key Scene Jim Brown's heroic death sprint, a feat of open-field running -- while tossing hand grenades -- that beats anything he ever did with the Cleveland Browns. Best Line "You've got one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf, two near-idiots, and the rest I don't even wanna think about!" 8 THE MATRIX 1999 This cyberpunk epic signaled a new kind of male hero, the tough-guy computer geek, and Keanu Reeves makes a most excellent digital superdude. By setting the nonstop action in cyberspace the Wachowski brothers are able to supercharge all the fights with gravity-defying wire fu and some amazing breakthrough CGI. Key Scene Neo's airborne subway station showdown with the heinous Agent Smith. Best Line "There is no spoon."
Spike TV (Don't forget, Peeps, ULTIMATE FIGHTER 5 is in FULL EFFECT right now....it doesn't get any more entertaining than that!!)Comedy Central; Too much great sh*t to list! That Sarah Silverman show ROCKED, if you missed it, check out the reruns. Carlos Mencia honestly makes me laugh with his standup, but my heart bleeds in longing for the BEST comedy show of all time- The Chapelle Show!!ESPN; Enough said.Sci-Fi; Special Unit 2, Jake 2.0 and of course Painkiller Jane. (So far the storyline is weak, but dudes dig her, then their ladies get lucky, so this is win-win!)Fox Sports Net; again, nuff said.Discovery Channel; when porno is unappropriate, here's your solid stand-by! No honestly, learn about your planet, jerk.

Another masterpiece -- from the greatest American writer since Frederick Exley.
A Fan's Notes (Vintage Contemporaries) by Frederick Exley
Who's Frederick Exley? Just another dead writer. This is his "memoir" (they used call 'em "novels") -- it should've been called "I'm Just A Big Fat F*cking Failure." Awesome book.
