I've tried watching it many times, but I just don't find it funny. :|

edit: Huh, I knew I wasn't imagining things when 'Jeremy London' popped up during the opening credits. I thought, "I'm sure that pricks name is Jason!". Didn't realise they were twins until just now. There's TWO of them. :\

Kidnapping incident

London was allegedly kidnapped on June 10, 2010 in the California desert and forced to smoke drugs at gunpoint, according to London. London was fixing a flat tire outside a hotel in Palm Springs when two men approached to help, local police confirmed in a statement. London claimed the men had a gun and forced him to drive to various locations throughout the city, purchase alcohol and use illicit drugs," police said in the statement.

The illicit substance was "dope," crack cocaine or amphetamines, reports Radar Online. After nearly 12 hours of captivity, London claimed he escaped and contacted police about 2:35 a.m.

London's car was found in a Palm Springs development called Gateway Estates, with an arrest made later that day -- 26-year-old Brandon Adams, who has been charged with kidnapping, robbery and vehicle theft. Adams has pleaded not guilty, and London's family has expressed doubts about the kidnapping story.

London later denounced his family for telling police "the most outrageous lies you've ever heard in your whole life." He said, "They told a bunch of lies saying this never happened. I haven't even seen them in six months. They have no idea what's going on," adding, "This actually did happen to me. It was one of the worst days of my life."

Brandon Adams, the alleged kidnapper, claims that London asked him to procure Xanax and Oxycontin pills and also says that London voluntarily went joyriding with him in a quest to locate pills. Brandon claims London was drinking alcohol and doing drugs in the car voluntarily the entire time.

Hmmm.

^ The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean

i think it sort of helps to have read the book prior to seeing the movie since the movie is sort of a sequel to the book. the book is really amazing and the end message is really beautiful. it's not really about orchids so much as John Laroche's obsession with them, particularly the Ghost Orchid.

The Butcher (Korean with sub-titles, 2007)

DVD Verdict review
The Butcher tells the blood-soaked tale of a group of deranged crazies who've taken victims to a remote slaughterhouse. Each hostage is outfitted with a video camera strapped to his or her head. The whole point: to film the brutal deaths of each person, as well as the abusive torture inflicted upon them by said "Butcher," a hulking jackass in a pig mask.

That's your movie. Start with some intro stuff, with the snuff film directors talking about boring, day-to-day matters—you know, as if they weren't about to film the excruciating murders of innocent people; then a lot of screaming, bleeding, and chainsaw-ing; until, finally, we follow the exploits of one hostage who may have a chance at freedom.

Yes, kids, this is straight-up torture porn. There is no other classification for it. All The Butcher concerns itself with is throwing horrifying images of torture at you, the viewer, presumably making you as ill as it made me. I have a fairly robust constitution, but the murderous goings-on depicted in this film were so unrelenting, so brutal, so nihilistic, I was genuinely disturbed.

It's a cheap way to get under the skin, of course. While the premise isn't packed full of good times—mysterious d-bags in a far-off place filming the deaths of real people for fun and profit—it is overwhelmed by the sheer amount of violence thrown onto screen. Add to that the total dearth of a plot, and what you have is a hollow shell filled with gallons and gallons of blood.

Pretty accurate - no plot, no characters, just victim-POV gore. Still, the POV was an interesting take on things. The gore wasn't too creative. Meh.... it *did* feel like a look into the snuff film business.
 
Busy day at work =D

Born Invincible (1978 )

Typical kung-fu theater flick, complete with bad dubbing, acrobatic fight scenes, some super-villian with white hair, and a series of throw away students trying to avenge their master's death. If you are down with the Kung Fu Theater stuff....not bad. If you only dabble in the genre, you'll find better.
