I dont know if this has happened to you, but every now and then i'll come across a title and think to myself...now so and so mofo would love that.

Well it happens to me quite a bit, so i thought hey why not make a club of it.

Now, i'd totally understand mofo's reluctance to give out their home adress on an open forum, so any established mofoers that want to get in on the action, we can use PM for that.

Anyways, not sure if there is any interest for something like this..thought it might be fun round Christmas time or Birthdays but also, just coz.

Well,,,any interest?

Maybe the title of thread should be changed to Dexter Riley mofo shopping spree club..lol

Surely Yoda shouldnt be the only one in the club.

put another way, aren't you mofo's sick and tired of trudging down to the mailbox everyday. only to sift thru mountains of junk mail and chinese takeout flyers just to find bills?

Wouldn't be kinda cool, to every now and then, for no particular reason whatsoever, to be greeted with a package from a far away land containing a DVD that u may or may not have?

I forgot to reply to this, my bad.

Yes, I'd be glad to. Least I can do. I owe ya' one. I hope more people get involved, though stuff like this is always a little tricky and in most cases just a few people end up doing most of it, in my experience.

Not yet; my stack of things to watch (new Movie Club's up, too) is pretty goofy right now. But a lot of TV shows the missus and I watch are ending this week, so things should clear up soon. I'm really looking forward to checking that out, though.

Great idea. Sadly, I have over 200 films I've bought and have yet to watch. I hardly watch any films and I have little to no money. Should those things ever change, though, I'd be happy to join in.

all right then sir, you are in. i see that you enjoy odd films which will make shoppen all the more fun.

All that is requred is to post a review of whatever you receive. I think it ought to be mentioned that all genres of flicks are allowed,with the exception of porn.

having said that, if you fancy yourself a rule breaker, my wife likes the parodiy style romps.



j/k

Ok Mr Temple, i have found your first flick. In future i'll just surprise ya, but i thought id post it here to get some feedback.

Also pm or rep me your real name in case u have to pick it up at a depot terminal and show id.

Me for instance, i live in a Condo apt so anyone can adress it to Dexter Riley so long as they include

As i mentioned to Yoda, the trick is to take advantage of the e-universe and not over-pay for shipping.

If im shopping for an American, i look at American shops, where often enuff the shpping fees diddley squat or waived altogether.

ok enuff of that, heres what inclusion in this mofo Club has to offer. I see that you like odd, quirky films, and i think i found a gem that fits the bill.



Dementia 13 (1963)

Francis Ford Coppola's directorial debut, produced by horror king Roger Corman, is a terror-filled tale of family ties chopped to pieces. DEMENTIA 13's opening scene of Louise and John Haloran alone on a boat drifting nowhere (as an Elvis Presley song plays hauntingly) is reminiscent of many Hitchcock films. Its 1963 release was just the beginning of what, for Coppola, would be a long career of helming chillingly powerful masterworks such as APOCALYPSE NOW and THE GODFATHER.Set in a spooky Irish castle, DEMENTIA 13 begins as the Haloran family gathers to memorialize the death of the youngest sister, Kathleen. While various family members plot and connive, an ax murderer is roaming the grounds, and Kathleen's body shows up at just the wrong time. Slowly, the family members become increasingly suspicious of each other--as well as of the ghosts that haunt the castle. But when the sinister family doctor is called in to help with the mystery, the expertly contrived Coppola chills really take hold.
Do you have it?

Have you seen it?

I have no basis for why i think she'll love this, except that the humour stylings mesh with what ive extrapolated from her musings.

^^

that thar is one didactic pile of mumbo jumbo that made more sense in my head than it does in text, i swear.

anyway with no further ado,

Its on the way, do me a favour and let me know when it arrives. When you get a chance to watch it, post a review on the flick itself, and on extras if any.

I always thought a dvd swap shop would be cool (no Noel Edmonds jokes please) even though people would probably only want to part with stuff they don't like.

I've ended up with duplicates a few times, and would rather have mailed one off to a MoFo than taken my chances on ebay.

I sent Pyro Tramp a copy of 2019: After the Fall of New York a couple of years back. Not sure he liked it that much though.

I'm like that with everything though, even my friend's parents making me dinner. It's pretty odd. Not trying to damper the idea though. I just might get into it eventually...like when I find something for someone

Dexter I see from one of the Sci-Fi lists that you have seen almost all except for a lot of the older ones if I saw correctly, so hope you enjoy.

Nicely played Dexter, I have not seen FX in more than 15 years, I don't remember exactly when but I don't remember a thing about the movie except the name. Thanks for making it a surprise, much more fun that way.
