| Brenda: Now, Benny Hill. A friend of mine and me loved. Even though the jokes at times could be a little more geared toward men. But it was funny as heck to us. |
| Brenda: Not sure if I ever watched after the first time you mentioned it or not. Library has a copy but it is out. I knew someone a guy who loved Monty Python but just no. John Cleese in other stuff is fine. He had a bit part in Silverado, a western which was the first thing I saw Kevin Costner in. You most likely right that most of Python's audiences were men. I'm not saying that I haven't seen some of the skits and didn't think they were funny. The Twit skit was funny and the parrot one was funny too. |
| 6ixStringJack: Probably not as heavily male as Benny Hill would have though. |
6ixStringJack: I might have got you to watch eXistenZ before.  Yeah. Monty Python is real iffy. I've known nobody I showed them to that was in between. They either loved it or they hated it... almost instantly in the latter case. I think, in the case of men, it depends how open minded they are especially to British humor that determines if they stick around long enough to like it. I don't really think it was made with women in mind though. I know they had female fans, but I would guess the entire time they were on TV and in the movies their audience skewed pretty heavily male. |
| Brenda: You mentioned Monty Python back a bit and I fall into the category of not being overly fond of it and I've watched a lot of British comedies over the years. |
| Brenda: And once again I've seen Fargo but can't remember an actor's name from it. My shoddy memory. |
| Brenda: I think you are right that a lot of movies are more well know because of the internet. Someone tells you about a movie and you can just look it up. |
| Brenda: Well, that plot certainly sounds familiar but that doesn't mean I might not like it. |
| Brenda: Oh, I know. Outbreak was a great movie. eXistenZ might be of interested to me then. |
| 6ixStringJack: Good trailer here... "The Game's a lot more fun when it starts feeling realer than real". [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: It's got some cool cameos in it too. The bad guy from Fargo is in it. Willam Dafoe as Gas is iconic. |
| 6ixStringJack: I think it's a lot more well known now because of the internet, but I know I got a few people to watch that who never would have known it existed back in the day. |
| 6ixStringJack: Terrorists were trying to kill her because they said that the work she did was the devil's work and that she was ripping the fabric of society apart. It's a real mindscrew of a flick. It was only in the theater one week. My buddy happened to rent it once on a fluke and it was awesome. The only other person I knew who actually saw it was my old man, and I didn't find that out until years after I'd seen it. |
6ixStringJack: I loved Outbreak. Great flick. 
Nah though. eXistenZ is nothing like that. It's got Jude Law and he's in charge of protecting Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is a genius computer programmer in some alternate (already past) future that had computers that were part organic and capable of a 100% realistic virtual reality (definately good for the budget for sure). |
| Brenda: Movies like that are good. eXistenZ sounds like a movie that came out in the 90's called Outbreak. That would be really good today. It involves a disease similar to ebola or it is ebola. Really good. |

| Brenda: Once again I am not sure if I have seen Donnie Darko. I know I haven't seen eXistenZ. I could probably find a copy of Donnie Darko at my library. Not sure about the other one. |
| Brenda: I've seen people tailgating when I've been out walking. Found the scene on YouTube and watched. It's an odd one for sure. Thought Robert Loggia's character was going to kill the guy. |
| 6ixStringJack: Like I said, I can't really give high recommendations for any of those movies I talked about today to anyone. They're about as hit or miss as Monty Python is to non-UK audiences. I love them, but I've stopped ever suggesting somebody watch them because some people watch and really hate some of the things that I like. |
