What's up, Rootless? You'll be thrilled to know that today Criterion just released a special limited edition dvd of your #1 private mindgarden celluloid classique!b,121b,121img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/2913261313_57c57972e0_o.jpg"1b,121b,121This 2-disc edition features one dvd that has over 3.5 hours raw footage of Mr. Cruise juggling your favorite top shelf bottles behind the bar, as well as exclusive guerrilla audio of him picking up on hot women in renown bars all over the country, which he taped himself to study for this role.b,121 b,121img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/581.gif" alt="" /1b,121b,121There are a LOT of facemelting scenes in this edition but the one where he throws the Black Label and the Patron Silver under his legs and catches BOTH in his mouth and chugs until he blacks out is one of the most captivating bartending scenes in film history. b,121b,121don't sleep folks! chad was onto something here...

    funny thing is that, chad really rides for his entire[/b] collection. b,121b,121"no man...his whole collection is SOLID."

    This information is entirely untrue.b,121b,121A*****, I'll have you know that I actually looked this information up in order to ascertain whether to burn my Criterion Collection t-shirt (silver-on-asphalt, hot as the fires of Hell). After Big Money moves like Armageddon and Traffic, I was led to believe that this horrible fable might well be true.b,121b,121I feel simultaneously relieved and let down.

    This film marks the first time I ever saw the usage of boobs in cinema. b,121b,121... An unheralded masterpiece if you ask me.

    I was really hoping they would get creative with the packaging though; maybe an oversized cocktail shaker with the disc nestled in the middle like the bowling ball Lebowski special edtition. or at least a mixology guide with Cocktail-inspired recipes. b,121b,121alas, it looks like they went conservative with this one. I considered passing on it I was so disappointed. b,121b,121But I need to beef up my Bryan Brown collection (Breaker Morant and the F/Xs are classiques)...so I caved.b,121b,121verdict: FILED.

    Surely the next logical step is to get hold of the epic Tai Pan where Bryan loves, fights, and speaks in a "Scottish" accent.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I'm sorry! I thought I could pass if off because of Armageddon being a real Criterion release. I think RoboCop is worthy though because it's a smart movie disguised as a really dumb one.b,121b,121Man, I looked at a clip of Cocktail on youtube and there's this scene at the end where Tom Cruise stands on a table, calls himself "The Last Bar Poet" and freestyles a "poem" where he is rhyming names of drinks. It's not even funny in an ironic way. I think Cruise's acting is so consistently awful and forced to the point where it makes me uncomfortable to watch him. (Sorry Chad). b,121b,121Happy Birthday, W*****m!
