Man Bites Dog

Man, I'm loving Netflix On-Demand lately.  When we first tried using Netflix On-Demand, oh, I don't know ... was it a year or two ago? ... well, it sucked then.  But they've done some things lately that make it awesome and easy.  They are also starting to add lots of great films.

I was looking to see if they had Groundhog Day, in honor of the hog-along, and I saw Man Bites Dog, which held the title of my "number one favorite movie" for about 5 years.  It's like the French version of Spinal Tap using a serial killer instead of a band.  And, instead of the drummer coming to a bad end and getting replaced over and over, it's the sound guy on the documentary crew.  Dark, dark, dark, dark, French, and funny.  What's not to love?!

That movie takes the idea of "black comedy" to the limit, doesn't it?

Is that a dare, Blaize? Spinal Tap Quote: "It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black." But, I think there could be a more blacker comedy. Oh, yes. More blacker, indeed.

That movie is in my same mental category with the Dinner Guest... though they're quite different, at least they're both French and hilarious.

Karen ... The French *are* good at making funny movies about horribly mean and brutal people (also With A Friend Like Harry, comes to mind). Gosh, I wonder why? ;)
