This 152 minute DVD 3 pack contains 6 complete fishing epi sodes. It features Lurie, Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Willem D afoe, Matt Dillon and others. The video features music by L urie & the Lounge Lizards. A composer (and founder of The Lounge Lizards) and veteran of several film roles (including most of Jarmusch's works), Lurie created this inspired, wacky and subtle semi-parody of fishing shows seemingly for no one but himself--- yet it is nearly impossible not to be sucked into their irresistible pull. Fishing for with Jarmusch off Long Island, in Costa Rica with Dillon, with Waits in Jamaica, on the ice in Maine with Defoe and in Thailand with Hopper, even though he doesn't know how to fish, Lurie's offbeat sense of humor--- paired with some beautiful locations--- strikes a rare chord, placing these one-of-a-kind shows somewhere between comedy and travelogue. Premiering in the US on the Independent Film Channel and Bravo, this is the offbeat and original series that paired musician/actor John Lurie with friends Dennis Hopper (looking for giant squid in Thailand), Jim Jarmusch (seeking shark in Montauk), Tom Waits (in Jamaica), Matt Dillon (in Costa Rica), and Willem Defoe (ice fishing in Maine). The plan? Travel to the world's most exotic places and fish. The catch? Lurie doesn't know how to fish. Includes all six episodes. Fishing With John Quotes/Excerpts: JOHN - Matt?
MATT - Yes, John?
JOHN - Still with me, Matt?
MATT - Yes John.

Fishing With John movie DVD
$10.49
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic captains "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott ...

Starting in 1974 and continuing for nearly a decade, Frank Zappa's annual Halloween concerts were a New York City institution. When the avant-rocker scored a Top 40 hit with "Valley Girl" in 1982, he skipped that year's Halloween performance and instead chose to premiere a 90-minute documentary called FRANK ZAPPA'S DUB ROOM at New York's Ritz Theater. Produced, directed, written, conducted, composed, arranged, and performed by Zappa, the documentary was comprised of two concerts--the 1981 Halloween show at the Palladium, and the ...

Director David Lynch's feature-film debut is a masterpiece of the macabre and grotesque. Reportedly a reaction to the news that he was about to become a father, Lynch's ERASERHEAD follows a sensitive young man as he struggles to cope with impending parenthood. Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) lives in a hopeless industrial landscape, lusting after the beautiful woman who lives in the apartment across the hall. After his girlfriend, Mary (Charlotte Stewart), informs him of her pregnancy, he is forced to eat dinner with her extremely odd family. The baby is eventually born, only it isn't a human baby at all; it's a deformed creature that resembles a lizard. The baby won't stop crying, a horrifyingly piercing wail that drives Mary insane. Left alone with ...
