Isn't rule #1 of Hipsterdom to claim that you are not hip? :roll:

You're just jealous 'cause I went to Hasselhoff's high school. [/b]
LOL! I went to his elementary school.
You're just jealous because he hit on me and not you. ;)

Not at all. you said Lulu looked like Lewinski. I know from personal experience that Lulu takes offence at being called a fat slapper.
I think she will kick your arse.

Christ Markie, I don't even feel like arguing with you. You obviously read way, way, way too much into that. ;)

Thank God, or Dupek would be next on Markie's hit list. :p

Cronenberg: Spider (although the Fly is a close second)
Kubrick: Dr. Strangelove (coincidentally, it's also the finest comedy ever made)
Lucas: as a director, the first Star Wars. Sorry for being so obvious. But as a producer, Raiders of the Lost Ark takes the cake.
And although I've never met the Hasselhoff, I did go to elementary school with Cronenberg's twin daughters, one of whom was my first kiss. (OK, so it would have been better if I'd gotten with both sisters, but please, I was like 11 or something...)

long binges of drinking and drug taking are part of the rock and roll lifestyle. How else would those guys fit into those skinny jeans.
What could be more hip than that, you big flakey hippie?

Thank you...and it was never explained to me in the first place. Has "deck" taken over "phat or Baad" in the middle schools..or are they still cool, oops I mean deck...or is it phat...oh fuckit, I'll just stick with the Queens English.

Only half credit? Thats mean!
So that means scanners was right?
So the other one is Lucas, which is then by default and the obvious from the beginning chiice of American graffitit?
At least I did better than the pimp GGW.

Originally posted by markie:

I wasn't going for points. If I was....
Cronenberg -- Spider, Existenz, or Crash (since Dupek has a boner for France)
Lucas -- Howard the Duck (since Dupek has a boner for "cultish" stuff)
Kubrick -- Full Metal Jacket (since Dupek has a boner for 'Nam)

Wrong. THX [/b]
wow this is confusing,
So its THX for Lucas, I've never seen it, but I know its hipster cred.
Its clockwork orange for Kubrick. It really isnt as good as 2001
So that leaves Cronenberg.
I ought to be scanners of GGWs videodrome. So that leaves the fly or ringers?

' hipsters and their commie t-shirts
I saw some ponytailed doofus (http://www.jimgoad.com/) downtown wearing a Stalin shirt. "You know that Stalin killed 40 million people, don't you?" I asked him.
"Whoa, didn't know it upset you so much," was his smirking answer, obviously thinking I was some sort of buttplugged right-winger.
"I'm not upset at allâ??the more dead, the better, so long as it isn't me. I just think it's ironic. I'll bet you wouldn't be caught dead wearing a Hitler T-shirt." '
<img src="http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/brakelamp.gif" alt=" - " />
"He had no answer. No one ever has an answer when they try to argue with me."
I liked that part the best. Kinda discredits everything else he says.
I always knew Stalin was hip.

1. What was David Cronenberg's masterpiece?
eXistenZ is cool, has Jude Law and Jennifer Jason-Leigh but I have to go with Videodrome for haveing the always brilliant Debbie Harry.
2. What was George Lucas' masterpiece?
THX-1138 (was already choosing this because of the cool car chase). Saw it on tv as a kid and could never find out the title for 10 years.
3. What was Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece?
Full Metal Jacket. We watched this 4 times straight in college. Intense. Sad that the DI is now doing that History Channel stuff (and he is a real ex-DI).

More queries:
A. What was William Friedkin's masterpiece?
B. What was Lars von Trier's masterpiece?
C. What was John Boorman's masterpiece?
D. What was Robert Aldritch's masterpiece?
-----
BTW, Kubrick had 3 back-to-back films which fit the master designation. While quite an okay flick, Full Metal Flogger wasn't among those.
-
A. The Exorcist
B. Zentropa
C. Deliverance
D. Who's Robert Aldritch?
-
You earned a half credit each for Von Trier & Boorman.
-----
Hint: Aldritch worked a lot with Lee Marvin & Ernie Borgnine.
-
Friedkin directed the French Connection, right? The exorcist was his masterpice though. Unless you loved the TV version of 12 angry men
von triers breaking the waves was alright.
boorman:
http://www.theavclub.com/avclub3502/avfeature3502.html (http://www.theavclub.com/avclub3502/avfeature3502.html)
I like the ambitious failures.... Exorcist II and Zardoz. The later being a hipster movie.
robert aldrich?

QE2?

another film I had never heard of.
I didnt realise Friedkin directed 12 angry men. It is one of my favourite movies. Its simplicity really lets the characters come through.
-
Still no winner for Friedkin.
-----
Half points because otherwise ggw would win for Zentropa & Deliverance. Kubrick's a triple-master. Truth be told, Boorman, von Trier & Aldrich (http://www.angelfire.com/folk/famoustramp/emperor.html) are double-masters.

I dont know Jack about bill.

B. Local Hero
Great film.

FYI: Lindsay is a cronkite, not a sheila.
