Audition (the movie), who told me about this?

one of my favorite movies ever

I've been sending copies out to people lately (randombeard and e-bortion), spreading the love, so they should be able to chime in
 
I was surprised it was so inexpensive truth be told.

Widescreen, 5.1 (Japanese) Dolby surround, a bunch of cool extras and like I said, only $14.99.

I'll probably get to it this coming week, now that I'm caught up on Netflix. Watched 2 god-awful horror movies last night: Exorcist The Beginning and Jeepers Creepers 2.

Is that the Harlin version yeah? I forget how it was titled in the US. Both that and the Schrader version are really quite shit, it has to be said. I thought JC2 was entertaining tho.

I'm not sure Russell, but the basic premise was this "fallen from grace" priest going to visit an excavated church in the middle of nowhere Africa (I think), and finding out that it was the place were Lucifer allegedly fell to earth, and thus ***EVIL***

It was OK really, but nothing worth recommending. Jeepers Creepers 2 just bugged me, so contrived & formulaic. I guess it was cool to see so much of the creature, whatever the fuck it was.

Yeah, sounds like the Harlin one. Slightly better in terms of traditional "horror" than the original cut, but still shit :grin:

I liked the post-modernish tongue-in-cheek approach of JC2. Fomulaic but aware of it, and hence that didn't bug me so much!
 
I hear you. I might have been too stoned to enjoy it, lol.

I'm more looking forward to my first ever viewings of House of 1,000 Corpses > The Devil's Rejects. Getting both DVDs for $20 total (Best Buy special) = teh win!
 
yes, I mentioned Audition a few times ... great buildup to the horror. my fave so far of all this Jap crap everyone raves about.

got devil's rejects here as well, supposedely it is light years ahead of 1000 corpses.

I thought it might have been you...did you perhaps send it to me as a Netflix recommendation?

Regardless, I thought, "fuck it," I'll just buy it, lol.
