LIST: Movie Brain Rot


Joshua Ligairi » 06.06.11 »

In the spirit of the last post (and what seems to be an on-going pattern of patting ourselves on the back--someone has to), I thought I'd post a recent Twitter list that included Cleanflix. And, if I may digress briefly, I thought it comical that no matter what list we make, we always seem to come in as the last entry (more evidence here and here).

Anyway, this Twitter list hash-tagged "Not Your Typical Doc" was tweeted today by Movie Brain Rot, a wonderful cult film/geek culture podcast (that is much more interesting and original than that description sounds):


#1 - "WHOLE" (2003) - Check out this doc about folks who feel the need or want to be amputees: http://imdb.to/mPOYxd #NotYourTypicalDoc

#2 - "B.I.K.E." (2005) - A doc exploring bicycle gangs in NY, but delves deep into one man's pain http://imdb.to/loQclT #NotYourTypicalDoc

#3 -"Cinemania" (2002)- this doc takes movie watching to an obsessive level. Must watch for film geeks http://imdb.to/Mt9WM #NotYourTypicalDoc

#4 -"I Think We're Alone Now" (2008)- Two fans claim to be in love (stalk) w/ 80s rocker Tiffany http://imdb.to/cecJ1M #NotYourTypicalDoc

#5 -"Cleanflix" Dir: Andrew James & Joshua Ligairi, Question what should or shouldn't be edited out in film http://imdb.to/mKlL61 #NotYourTypicalDoc


It's a pretty strange list and I'm definitely glad to be a part of it. I'll be searching out B.I.K.E. and I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW because of it. Movie Brain Rot has some previous tweet lists posted on their site. Check out the original list on Twitter.
