Recommendations for Ron.

[IamPixie]

Seeing as how ron is such a connoisseur of entertainment, if you could introduce one movie and one album to him-what would they be?

[JPMNICK]

I would be to embarrassed. I know nothing about either

[Midkiff]

For an album, Quincy Punx' We're Not Punks... But We Play Them On TV. The highlight would be the song Eat A Bowl Of Fuck.

cool (http://www.last.fm/music/Quincy+Punx/We%27re+Not+Punks...+But+We+Play+Them+On+TV)

Teagan's Juice
In High Definition
Over fifty squirts! Drinks are on me. Cytherea is back and wetter than ever! Her performances in Squirtwoman will leave you slack-jawed and rock hard... And dripping wet. Starring: Cytherea, Nautica Thorn, Tiana Lynn

[AnnoyedGrunt]

It's hard to pick something for Ron since I know he watches so much and has probably already seen whatever I could throw at him. I guess I'd hand him a movie called 'The Life and Hard Times of Giy Terrifico". It's a Canadian mockumentary that's basically a country music version of Spinal Tap. Not too bad and it has the Midnight Rider's theme playing during the final scene.

[FUNKMAN]

it would just be a song I wrote and poorly recorded. it's a 'guido/rock/rap/old' school tune named

Eat Da Brassiole

and I know I'm misspelling braciole but I don't believe everyone would pronounce it like brassiole

[JPMNICK]

Actually I might throw out

In the Company of Men

My boss told me about this in like 2001. not sure how old it was when it came out. it looks kind of low budget, but i loved it. Ron might enjoy it, it has good charector development.

[furie]

I would suggest City of God (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_God_%28film%29) if he hasn't seen it

[Bob Impact]

Fishing with John.

i think they've mentioned it on the air. actually that might have been o&a. hmmm.

[nevnut]

I would recommend "Eat A Peach" by the Allman Brothers but I know he already loves this album therefore I recommend "The Deepest End" By Gov't Mule.

Warren Haynes still plays with ABB and I think "the Deepest End" with his own band is one of the best collections I've ever heard.

I think he would truly enjoy it.

[J.Clints]

Shooter Jennings

https://secure.musiccity.net/shooter/images/ElectricRodeo%20Cover%20Final150x150.jpg Even though its country I think He may like it. And then again he may spit in my face and call me a hayseed. NO wait a minute that would be MOe......Ron may just hate it.

[burrben]

flying burrito brothers - "the gilded palace of sin" or kris kristofferson's "the silver tongued devil and i"
(but i'm sure he's already heard them)


and

orson welles' "f for fake"

it's all about carnies and rubes

[Bob Impact]

Fishing with John.

[sailor]

john helyar - lords of the realm: the real history of baseball (http://www.biblio.com/books/111411608.html)

and my all-time favorite baseball quote:

the great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money that's in it - not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

and a prize for whoever can tell me who said that, without cheating. (no, not kev costner!)

and an interesting thing, helyar also wrote barbarians at the gate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarians_at_the_Gate_(film)) about the buyout of nabisco and mlb's technical operations (website, et al.) are run out of the chelsea market (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Market) that used to be the nabisco factory where the oreo was invented. mlb actually has offices inside the giant ovens that they baked cookies in. (ok, maybe it's just interesting to me!)

[Marc with a c]

was it moonlight graham?

[Wallower]

I recommend Battle Royale. It's a Japanese movie from 2000 based on a book of the same title, in which kids are put on an island and forced to kill each other until only one is left. The English translation of the book is widely available too.

Skip the sequel.

I called in about it and he has seen it.

[Don Stugots]

The Dice Man.


Not the comic but the book he stole the name from. very good, very interesting book about lack of free will.

[lleeder]

I recommend Criminal Minds its an underrated show on CBS. I got into last year and I think its solid. There are stand alone episodes as well as recurring themes that pop up from time to time.

Since you brought up a tv show....I would LOVE if ron would give six feet under a chance. I think he might really like it...especially if he likes Michael C. Hall in Dexter.

[MrPink]

That's an awesome ass movie.

I gotta recommend the Korean movie, Oldboy.

[hammersavage]

Don't know if Ronnie's seen all of 'The Wire' but i think its the best show of all time so that. And to listen to more Wilco...

[Fezticle98]

TV show: Kenny vs. Spenny

Movie: Johnny Got His Gun (that freaky movie thread reminded me of this one) Has anyone seen it?

Book: Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader (about N. Korea) I don't read a lot, but I was enthralled by this book

how dare you assume that we could better ronnies base of knowledge
the jews dont wake up and say "gee i think god would really benefit from watching..."
(because the jews are the chosen ppl... and we are ronnie's chosen ppl)

Hey, yeah! I agree with pat for once!

[BeerBandit]

TV: I know Ron is an adult and generally doesn't go for cartoons, but Frisky Dingo is brilliant on an Arrested Develpment level. Great characters with great lines delivered with perfect timing.

Album: I've heard Earl play them a couple of times, but I don't think Ron's paid attention to it, but I really think he would dig Clutch. Bluesy tunes, with mythological lyrics applied to current events. Start off with Elephant Riders, as they really showed some complexities on the album, rather than the droning stoner rock on previous efforts.

Movie: This one's tough as I'm sure everything I've loved, Mr. B's seen, so I'll go with an old film I recently enlightened myself with. The General starring Buster Keaton. It was my first Keaton film and I was amazed to see how well the humor held up after 80+ years. The man was a genius and must see more of him.

[DolaMight]

Movie :
C.H.U.D. - Good character development

Album :
Swamp Dogg - Ratt On!
Actually a fantatastic album

I think Ron has said that he doesn't really like Wilco. Shame.
However, their new album Sky Blue Sky (http://wilcoworld.net/news/index.php) comes out next week, so maybe we can get Pepper Hicks to play some of the new stuff.


ps. - you can stream the album from the link

[epo]

I've got a movie recommendation. The movie Johnny Guitar (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047136/)is way off the beaten path, but it's an interesting western in the fact that the two lead characters are female. A little bizarre, but Sterling Hayden is solid in the film and you also get a young Ernest Borgnine as well.

Plus Nicholas Ray directed it and I've gotta cheer for a fellow Wisconsin boy.

[Enabler]

Trailer Park Boys> hilarious series out of Canada check Google video or the like


I sent them an email begging someone to please get the buddays into this show. Ron especially. Trailerpark Boys is the funniest TV show on the planet today. You can catch every epsiode of every season at alluc.org Ronnie please watch!

[Wallower]

That's an awesome ass movie.

I gotta recommend the Korean movie, Oldboy.
Don't stop there - Oldboy is part of a "revenge trilogy" all by the same director. The others are Sympathy for Mr. Vengance and Lady Vengeance, which just came out a few months ago. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite, but the tragic irony in Sympathy is just amazing.

[Recyclerz]

There was a small film out of Australia in the late '90's called The Castle that was as charming and funny as the early Christopher Guest movies (or The Princess Bride, before that got played out). It is about Autralian hayseeds; first you laugh at them, then you root for them.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826/ (The Castle (Not the One with Old Robert Redford & a Sissy Tony Soprano))

[FUNKMAN]

if not just for the pledge alone... i think ronnie would dig it and fez too

Gory, gory Transylvania
Where werewolves and bats will always maim ya
The murky moor will likely claim ya
As we go stumbling through-oooo-oooo-ooooo...

[Count, spoken]
I pledge by the sign of the three toed sloth
To do my best to do my duty
To always obey the laws of the werewolf pack
And to never rest, until Brucie lives once more
And takes his rightful place in the annals of distinguished monsters
And I can once again return to that most goriest of homelands...

[Igor]
Gory, gory Transylvania
As we...
Go...
Stum-...
bling...

[Count]
Through-oooooooooooooooooo!

Man, I haven't thought of that show in years. Even though it was a comedy Vincent Price scared the shit out of me as a kid.

I haven't seen your movie, but I love Clutch and Elephant Riders might be my favorite album by them.

And is there a better character name than "Killface"????



As for me, I'll go with an old film classic simply known as "Warbus".
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/luxa1/warbus.jpg

And for an album, we'll go Secret Chiefs 3 -
"Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws: Hurqalya"

[smiler grogan]

music wise The Mars Volta.
I'm listening to them a lot right now.

[ChimneyFish]

Seriously. I can't wait for the second season. Sometime this fall I guess.

I was wondering when it was going to be.
The past few times I've checked in, it's been reruns.

Absolutley mooch. Sad to hear this is the last season, especially because the show hasnt lost a step in 7 seasons. That is rare. The amount of lines they could use for xm openers is ridiculous!

[torker]

Stay off the moops.

[Arch Stanton]

Movie......Big Night, Independant Film, Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub

Amazing Film about two Immigrant Italian Brothers who are struggling to keep a Restaraunt open in the 50's.

I recommend this to everyone as well as Ron.
