So, I have been listening now for about 4 months and I have really enjoyed it. I also feel a connection to many of you. I graduated from Radford High School in Hawaii, I lived in Columbia South Carolina for a few years, and currently live in Salt Lake City.

I Think the the 1983 Movie “The Keep” (which is currently streaming on Netflix) is ripe for some TLC from the Sack.

Thanks for the work you all put into the show… It shows

Hi guys. On recommendation from one of your sponsors (Spaceballs-Stephen “Marathon Man” Denson – my nephew) I started listening to your podcasts. Thank you for making me laugh all the way to work and all the way home. A traffic jam – who cares? I am enjoying my Film Sack! Keep up the good work.
An observation: In your review of Beetlejuice you guys couldn’t figure out why Wynona Ryder was dressed in her weird costume. From a female standpoint, dressing the depressed, widow-weeds part helps in bringing your emotion to life. It totally fit her character!
Looking forward to many more reviews
Deb

You may have seen this already, but with all the love you guys have been showing to ZARDOZ, I thought this might help blur some of those traumatic memories.

Hey guys,
I love the show!!! When I listen to an episode it feels like I am sitting around with friends talking about movies. Keep up the great work!!! I know you never have a shortage of movies to check out but my suggestion is “A Boy and his Dog” which is on Netflix streaming right now. Its post-apocalyptic tale starring a very young Don Johnson and his psychic super genius dog with radar. It’s beyond crazy. I’d love to hear what you guys think about it. Have a great 2012 guys!!!!!!!

I have been listening to the Filmsack podcast for over a year now and LOVE it. I don’t know if I’m your typical demographic, 59 married white female living in Kansas, but I absolutely love your personalities, insight, banter and quirky humor. Thank you for my weekly dose of Scott, Brian, Brian, and Randy. I’ve missed you during your holiday hiatus.

Have you considered Top Secret! for a movie to review. Imbd says it’s val kimer’s first staring role, he really sings in it, it came in under budget and the budget was only 8 million. I think it’s just a real fun film and wish more people knew about it so please consider it and i hope you enjoy the cow scenes.

Hey guys!

Listened to the Die Hard episode recently, and had to put my foot down on comments Randy gave about the score being too lazy. As a score aficionado I found this score not to be lazy, but in fact a very clever and well crafted piece of music.

First of all Michael Kamen was the composer, and was an admirer of Stanley Kubrick. So to pay homage, he used Beethoven’s 9th, which Kubrick used in A Clockwork Orange. But you could say, “yes anyone could make an homage,” but in this case, if you were to look back you would notice little hints of the theme being whistled by the terrorist and the party music at the beginning of the film. It isn’t until much later in the film does the theme stand out during the opening of the vault.

Additionally, at the set-up of the terrorist take over, a slowed down version of 9th’s theme is being played and being weaved in and out of “Winter Wonderland”‘s theme (which of course was used as the final song of the film). Having heard other attempts of mash-ups in other films, I found this one to work quite well and was able to create a piece that could stand on its own without being such a noticeable recreation.

So to you Randy, I know you have your opinion, but I thought I might bring these points up, and may be I could convince you otherwise.

Love the show, take care in 2012.
