Win THE COMPLETE MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS: COLLECTOR’S EDITION on DVD!

Filed under: Contests — UncaScroogeMcD @ 12:48 am

We’re giving away, in conjunction with A&E Home Video, one (1) copy of THE COMPLETE MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS: COLLECTOR’S EDITION on DVD.

Contest ends at 11:59pm EST on Thursday, December 11th.

For Pythonophiles who can already recite the “Spanish Inquisition” backwards comes THE COMPLETE MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Inside this decorative carton (LOOK! up top, you silly git) lurk four seasons of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, two compelling documentaries, two Monty Python LIVE performances, and six “Personal Best” compilations. The whole great mess — Spam tins, parrot carcasses, blancmanges, and all — has been safely digitized, compressed into microscopic “funny bits,” pressed onto 21 shiny discs, and sealed within this whimsy-proof receptacle.

SO DON’T OPEN IT! All right, if you must. But beware: there’s new material you can’t repeat verbatim (yet). “Before the Flying Circus” employs rare vintage footage to explore the influences that ! shaped six young lunatics into the world’s most innovative comedy troupe, while “Monty Python Conquers America” documents their tremendous, yet astonishingly unlikely, American success. The six “Personal Best” collections present the best sketches and songs, as selected, arranged, and hosted by the individual Pythons themselves. And, of course, “Monty Python Live” shows what happens when absurd TV sketches are inflicted on live audiences. Now stop reading and put a disc in your DVD machine. This bloody box of buffoonery can’t watch itself.

Extras: Meet the Chaps; Pythonism Glossary; Gillianimations Art Gallery; Preview Upcoming Episodes; Troupe Career Highlights; Post-Python Troup Highlights; Bleeding Critics; Confusing Musings; Pythonisms; Behind the Scenes of John Cleese’s Personal Best; Terry Gilliam’s Featurette “A Retrospective of Python’s Animation”; Personal Second-Best Featurettes from Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin; Six 15-Question, 15-Ton Megaquizzes; Python Troupe Biographies and Selected Credits; Deleted Scenes

Trailer Park: KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN DVD Giveaway

Filed under: Contests,Trailer Park — Tags: Hector Babenco, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, William Hurt — admin @ 2:32 pm

By Christopher Stipp

The Archives, Right Here

I’m awesome. I wrote a book. It’s got little to do with movies. Download and read “Thank You, Goodnight” right HERE for free.

I’ll go on record as saying this probably the first time I’ve given away a movie that gave William Hurt an Academy Award and was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1985. I do realize the median age of some people who read this and know many of you were barely getting a grasp on the English language when this film was making waves.

Suffice to say there is nothing that can be put into meanigful explanation as to why this film works as well as it does when you consider the subject matter. The movie is grippingly intense, made on the kind of budget you would usually reserve for art house indies nowadays and made quite a stir when it was released.

I’ve got 4 to give away and, with regard to winning one, all I need to know is whether you’ve seen it or not. That’s it. Hopefully I’ll be able to give a couple to those of you who loved it a long time ago and a couple to those who need to see it for the first time. Shoot me a line at Christopher_Stipp@Yahoo.com.

For you newbies who need an explanation of the film here it is:

The film tells of the political prisoner Valentin Arregui (Raul Julia) and effeminate homosexual and statutory rapist Luis Molina (William Hurt). They share a Brazilian prison cell.

Molina passes the time by recounting memories from one of his favorite films, a wartime romantic thriller that’s also a Nazi propaganda film. He weaves the characters into a narrative meant to comfort Arregui and distract him from the harsh realities of political imprisonment and the separation from the woman he cares about.

Arregui allows Molina to penetrate some of his defensive self and opens up. An unlikely friendship develops between the two prisoners: the dreamer and the political activist.

As the story develops, it’s clear that Arregui is being poisoned by his jailers to force him to reveal what he knows. Molina, it seems, may also have ulterior motives.

Trailer Park: HELLBOY II DVD Giveaway

Filed under: Contests,Trailer Park — Tags: Guillermo del Toro, Hellboy II — admin @ 2:31 pm

By Christopher Stipp

The Archives, Right Here

I’m awesome. I wrote a book. It’s got little to do with movies. Download and read “Thank You, Goodnight” right HERE for free.

Through the powers that be I have been given 5 copies of Guillermo del Toro’s actioneer HELLBOY 2 to give away on DVD. Those of you who have seen it know how well Guillermo has made a sequel that doesn’t feel like a cash-in and has every bit of oomph of its predecesor. The film is flat out fun and visually dazzling. It’s worthy of any fan’s collection and, coincidently enough, makes a great stocking stuffer come this Christmas. (Or, maybe you’re a greedy kind of person and want this magic all for yourself. I can respect that.)

As always, the level of difficulty of getting a copy of this is quite high: Send me your name to Christopher_Stipp@yahoo.com

(And, if you’ve won any previous DVD giveaways in the past month, sit on your hands. Seriously. Not everyone else is addicted to on-line contests like you…)

For those who need some background here is the official synopsis:

With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world’s toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from OscarÂ®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy).

After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it’s up to the planet’s toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).

Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense – pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann – the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who’s accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.

Trailer Park: EXCLUSIVE MILK Screening In Phoenix

Filed under: Contests,Trailer Park — Tags: gus van sant, sean penn — admin @ 1:19 am

By Christopher Stipp

The Archives, Right Here

I’m awesome. I wrote a book. It’s got little to do with movies. Download and read “Thank You, Goodnight” right HERE for free.

How many people are coming back for the Thanksgiving holiday early next week and want to see a possible Oscar contender slug it out on the screen as he fights ignorance, intolerance and homophobia? Well then I have a deal for you…

Gus Van Sant’s film that chronicles the election of California’s first openly gay official opens December 5th but you can see it early if you drop me a line at Christopher_Stipp@Yahoo.com. The screening is this Tuesday night, the 25th, at the Scottsdale Camelview at 7 p.m. and if you shoot me your name and address you are in the race to get in. It’s as easy as that.

The official synopsis follows…

His life changed history. His courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America.

His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Sean Penn stars as Harvey Milk under the direction of Gus Van Sant in Milk, filmed on location in San Francisco from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, and produced by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen. Milk charts the last eight years of Harvey Milk’s life. While living in New York City, he turns 40.

Looking for more purpose, Milk and his lover Scott Smith (James Franco) relocate to San Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood. With his beloved Castro neighborhood and beautiful city empowering him, Milk surprises Scott and himself by becoming an outspoken agent for change. With vitalizing support from Scott and from new friends like young activist Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch), Milk plunges headfirst into the choppy waters of politics. Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk’s actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words. When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White (Josh Brolin). But as White and Milk’s political agendas increasingly diverge, their personal destinies tragically converge. Milk’s platform was and is one of hope ““ a hero’s legacy that resonates in the here and now.
