All you need to do to get your hands on the filthy lucre is to leave a comment on this post naming a movie with an emotion in the title. For example Happy Feet, Happy Gilmore, 12 Angry Men etc (no, you can’t have any of those ones now you cheating ragbag).

If there is more than one entry (and i hope there will be otherwise this contest is going to be really embarrassing for us) then all the entrants names will be put into a hat and a winner will be chosen at random.

I was going to wait until our iTunes problem is fixed to run the contest so we could lure in some new listeners, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon. Damn you iTunes! DAMN YOU!

One entry per person please. The contest is international so you can enter wherever you live in the world. The closing date is the 1st of May 2012

Unfortunately the UK version of Netflix is nowhere near as good as the the US version. It costs the same amount (if not a little more – £5.99 a month) but has far fewer movies and TV shows available to watch. To be frank it’s not really worth the cash (much like ...]]> Recently the US company Netflix expanded it’s video on demand service into the the United Kingdom. This was great news and is providing much needed competition to the Amazon owned DVD and streaming company Lovefilm (who happen to be one of our sponsors – Hi Lovefilm!).

Unfortunately the UK version of Netflix is nowhere near as good as the the US version. It costs the same amount (if not a little more – £5.99 a month) but has far fewer movies and TV shows available to watch. To be frank it’s not really worth the cash (much like Lovefilm’s streaming service – sorry Lovefilm).

HOWEVER

Netflix is a little quirky in that it’s membership operates on a global rather than national scale. And so loopholes exist.

Basically Netflix detects where you are geographically and allows you access to that particular area’s version of the Netflix service.

So if I took my iPad on holiday with me to America I would be able to access the US version of the Netflix service using my normal login and password, even though I joined the service in the UK and pay my Netflix subscription in UK pounds rather than US dollars.

This means that if you found a way to make Netflix think you are using their service in America (even though you were still at home in rainy England, Scotland, Wales, or wherever) then you will be able to access the US version of the service instead of the substandard UK version.

So how can you do this?

Well, the method I’ve come accross is by using a service called Unblock-US. This somehow tricks Netflix into thinking that your computer (or iPad, xBox, PS3, or whatever) is actually in America rather than your grotty spare room in Woverhampton.

The setup is relatively straight forward – you can either change a few settings on your PC/Mac (and so can consume Netflix just from your computer), or you can change some settings on your internet router (so anything connected to the net can use it – like a Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, iPad, iPhone, or one of those internet connected fridges that you bought at the 2004 ideal home exhibition).

Unblock-US is not free – it costs $4.99 a month. And you also still have to pay your Netflix subscription fee on top of that. And if you want to watch Netflix on your Xbox you have to be a member of Xbox Live too (so it all adds up)

I have no idea is this is legal. I suspect that, like region free DVD players, it’s currently a rather grey area – but I’m not basing that on anything other than a hunch.

I’m certainly not advocating you doing it. It’s almost certainly against the terms and conditions of Netflix, so I’m guessing there is a risk of having your membership terminated if you are caught.

But saying that, if you do chose to use Unblock-us.com I’d argue that you are definitely being more ethically sound than downloading stuff from torrent sites like pirate bay. After all, You aren’t stealing anything. You are paying for the content you are consuming, and you’re paying at a rate that’s both been agreed by the copyright holders and that will result in money finding its way into their hands.

In my mind it’s a bit like sneaking into a better seat in the theatre because you’ve noticed it’s empty. Sure, strictly speaking you may not be allowed to sit there; but you paid your price of admission dammit and it’s not going to make a difference to the rest of the audience.

How about you? Do you feel that using sites like Unblock-us are morally wrong? Let us know in the comments.

Now that I look back on it, there are a few ones there that are a tad tenuous. Still, that’s all in the past now – this post is where ...]]> This is part two of my top ten list of Han Solo rip offs. You can find more details about my first five choices here, but here’s a quick recap for those who weren’t paying attention:

- 10: Space Cowboy from Battle Beyond the Stars.
- 09: Captain Lone Starr from Spaceballs.
- 08: Joseph Korso from Titan A.E.
- 07: Flynn Rider from Tangled.
- 06: Slippery Jim DiGriz from Stainless Steel Rat

Now that I look back on it, there are a few ones there that are a tad tenuous. Still, that’s all in the past now – this post is where all the real gold really lies. Honestly.

So without any further ado, here’s the next five scruffy looking nerf herders:

5. Madmartigan: Willow

“Ooh, I’m really scared. No! Don’t! There’s a- a peck here with an acorn pointed at me!”

Typical George Lucas, ripping off his own ideas from earlier successes. This time he’s even stealing the whole plot of the film! Talk about creatively stunted.

I never realised it back in my youth, but when you start thinking about it the entire of Willow is a glaringly obvious Star Wars rip off right from the get go.

Not that I’m complaining mind you, Willow is a great movie and Val Kilmer is an excellent Han Solo clone.

I’m reluctant to go into much detail about Madmartigan as Lee hasn’t seen this film yet and we’re going to be discussing it in the near future on the podcast (and you know how Lee feels about spoilers). Suffice to say the moment when Madmartigan gets frozen in carbonate and the princess calls his spaceship a hunk of junk is an absolute classic.

4. Lando Calrissian: Empire Strikes Back

“This deal is getting worse all the time!”

Typical George Lucas, ripping off his own ideas from earlier successes. This time he’s even bloody ripping it off within the same film! Talk about incestuous.

Lando is cool though. Not as cool as Han, but then again few are. He’s certainly cooler than Luke (stupid farmboys).

He even looks good behind the wheel of the Millennium Falcon although I never thought much of his jowly looking Chewbacca replacement. I just get the feeling he’d get slobber all over the dashboard.

But most impressive of all is that Lando manages to successfully pull of wearing a cape. That’s no easy feat let me tell you. Just try wearing one to the pub on a Friday night and see what happens. Sure, Han’s waistcoat is a pretty gutsy fashion move in some circles; but a waistcoat can’t be slung over a lamp post and used to strangle you.

3. Indiana Jones: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

“Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.”

Typical George Lucas, ripping off his own ideas from earlier successes. This time he’s even bloody using the same actor! Talk about blatant!

While Indy is arguably a more nuanced character than Han, there’s no mistaking that same sardonic moral greyness at his core – particularly in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. At that point Dr Jones was very much the cash focused mercenary that Han was at the beginning of Star Wars. Then, like Solo, over the course of the trilogy Indy becomes an increasingly moral being as a result of his experiences.

To be honest I’d be hard pressed to say who I prefer – Indiana Jones or Han Solo. Han has the advantage of not being soiled by one of Lucas’ patented crappy modern follow ups (thank goodness Han Solo never appeared in any of the Star wars prequels). However, as I say, I feel that Indy is a more developed character somehow. A tricky one.

2. Captain James T Kirk: Star Trek

“Oh relax, cupcake, it was a joke.”

Look, I’ll be honest with you – I’ve actually forgotten who was originally going to be my number two on this list. I wrote it all down alongside the first part of this post, but I can’t find the damn file. I’ve a vague feeling it was someone animated but I can’t be sure.

However, as I was searching google trying to prompt my idiot brain into remembering, Chris Pine’s James T Kirk’s name kept popping up . Apparently Pine drew inspiration from Han Solo when he was preparing to play Kirk.

And now that I know that I think I can actually see it. Kirk has that same grumpy “oh crap, what do I have to deal with now” humour to him and the same roguish wit.

I’m now a little nervous as I’m unsure if Lee will be stroking his chin and nodding sagely at that opinion, or if he’ll be flinging his computer monitor at the wall in a fit of rage.

I think I’ll move on to my number one.

1. Malcolm Reynolds: Firefly

Come a day there won’t be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. This job goes south, there well may not be another. So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don’t push me, and I won’t push you.

Of course Malcolm Reynolds had to be the top of this list. In fact there really was no other option. Mal’s a rogue, a smuggler, and outlaw, and a rebel against a controlling state. A reluctant hero who man who loves his ship almost as much as life itself.

I’ve said it before elsewhere, but Mal Reynolds is the only person who’s ever out Han Solo’ed Han Solo. He is just bloody awesome.

Mal’s defining moment in my view was during the movie Serenity when he first meets The Operative He checks he’s unarmed, then promptly attempts to shoot him (Mal shoots first,obviously). I tried to find it on youtube but couldn’t so this compilation wil have to do:

For a long time I mourned the loss of Firefly and hoped one day it’d return. But I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s best left as it is. You just know that if it came back it would have far too much expectation heaped on it which it would never be able to meet. Then the show would be soured for everyone.

Let’s just keep our memories of it as they are now – shiny.

———————————

So that’s my list of top ten Han Solo rip offs. Do you agree, disagree, have alternative suggestions? Let me know in the comments.

Also, a midmoclub badge and sticker will go to the first person who is able to prompt me to remember who the one I’ve forgotten is. That’s going to bloody keep me awake tonight.

In this case Dan didn’t dislike the film, at all, which despite our on-air bluster is perfectly acceptable and it should be noted that everyone’s opinion is equally valid. I feel I justified why I didn’t like the film in the podcast however I think ...]]> A common thread that’s been coming up from listeners to the Titan AE podcast is that the film didn’t deserve the very low rating that I gave the film. Granted it’s not often that a film cops such a low score, it’s usually reserved for films that both Dan and I have been severely burnt over.

In this case Dan didn’t dislike the film, at all, which despite our on-air bluster is perfectly acceptable and it should be noted that everyone’s opinion is equally valid. I feel I justified why I didn’t like the film in the podcast however I think it might be an opportunity for me to chat about how a film can get a one.

Also I don’t think it was my giving Titan AE a low score that’s the issue here either, I think it’s more the extreme aspect and the surprise that I reached right into the back of my bag and pulled out a one which in this arena is the nuclear option.

The science behind the ten point rating system that Dan and I agreed on is more of an art than a science, in that there is absolutely no scientific method behind it in any shape of form. One thing to remember though is that the scores don’t related to others given when comparing to each other at all and on any given day the scores would probably differ, in fact they differ by the hour sometimes.

So how the hell do I come up with a one?

Well first off the technical quality of the film has very little to do with the score, I can watch a competently put together film that could be considered successful in its ambition to tell a story in a certain way and still prefer a film knocked together by kids in their backyard. The reason being is that the score has everything to do with me and less to do with the film.

I’ll score a film on things such as how it makes me feel, what I take from the film and does the film inspire me at all. And the thing about me is that given such random elements as my mood, what I had for lunch, who I’m watching with and the fickle thing I call an attention span the experience that I might have will influence that score.

So as we’ve mentioned before on the podcast a five from me generally means that I was unmoved. The film is neutral. A ten is good, on a scale that means that I’m probably trying to work out how to form a religion around the teachings of the film. The controversial one means that I disliked my entire experience around the film, that I derived little to no inspiration from it and as long as I live I probably will never seek this film out ever again.

This has of course all the accuracy of a blind goat hogtied in the bottom of an apple barrel listening to the best of Motley Crue with a crossbow made out of breadsticks.

So why score at all?

Well hopefully over time and many many visits to the Midmoclub podcast you’ll get a feel for what I like or dislike, this will help guide you around films that we might share a liking for or for that matter a disliking. The opposite is also true, if you love films that I seem to hate then you might be encouraged to watch Cannonball Run or Titan AE and all I can say is good luck with that.

This might smack of defensiveness, it’s truly not, I thought it might be interesting to share with you guys some of my inner workings on how I pass judgement on these films. Dan may have another process, it’s probably flawed as some of his choices seem suspect at best.

What’s a film that you hate that no one else seems to? Let us know in the comments!!

Still all is not lost as we were able to churn out a filler show, cobbled together from odds and sods found on youtube, my hard drive, and the faintly gooey crevice down the back of my sofa.

Oh yes, we certainly know how to treat you right here at the midmoclub.

This time he’s over on friend of the show Jeff’s brand new podcast TIDBABSH. And a lot of fun it is too.

So why not head over there and give it a listen. Go on, you know it makes sense.

Then after a few more moons the guys over at Geek Tragedy finally overcame some technical difficulties and posted the podcast on their site.

And now, approximately seven years after it was actually recorded, we are getting round to telling you it exists.

OK, the news covered by the show is now a bit out of date. Lee is no longer excited about the pre production rumors surrounding Superman IV: The Quest for Peace nor is he speculating about a Manequin prequel. Still, its well worth a listen and you can do so here.

Also Lee is mentioned in the latest Casta La Vista Podcast and a question set by Dan is put to one of the biggest names in podcasting, Jimmy Pardo, over on Podcast Squared. But nether Lee or Dan actually appear on those shows, so they can’t be that good can they.

The Midnight Movie Club will be back with a special bonus episode featuring those reprobates from the Casta La Vista podcast next week.

Today they boys are guest co-hosting over at the fantastic movie news and reviews podcast Casta La Vista.

The show includes all the latest cinema news as well as reviews of Battle: LA, Company Men, and Submarine. Plus DVD reviews and a Anchorman quiz. It doesn’t get much better than this people.

Why not head over and have a listen.

This week Lee and Dan are interviewed over on Andrew Johnstone’s excellent podcast review show Podcast Squared.

Why not head over and have a listen.

Well whilst Dan has been pursuing his dreams of rock and roll and Lee has been mulling over the effect commercialism will have on the purity of books like Twilight you guys have been left without anything to listen to on a Wednesday.  We know it’s been tough but it’s nearly over.

To tide you over for the long seven days in front of you before their triumphant return Lee and Dan have at least recorded a Season Two trailer that will go down in history as the greatest Midnight Movie Club trailer for season two of their podcast ever.  I know this is a big call but you should judge for yourself:

OMG!!!!  Isn’t it amazing!?!

Did you guess any of the films?  Claim them and your glory in the comments!!

Remember to come back next week for the all new and exciting Midnight Movie Club which is now a member of the Lifestyle PodNetwork and available in addition to many other fine podcasts through the Lifestyle PodNetwork iPhone app (we’re told Android and others are coming)!!

And if you can’t hang on, if you are so desperate to hear Lee and Dan’s voice then you can hear Dan the media tart on the podcast Waffle On About Laurel & Hardy and Lee’s voice by calling 040… hang on (O_0)

The nice chaps over at Appliances Online have very kindly provided Dan with a brand new all singing and dancing super posh microphone.

So now his voice should be coming to you with crystal clear clarity. Of course they can do nothing about the claptrap he is actually spouting into the microphone, but you can’t have everything.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some begging letters to write. Surely there is someone out there who fancy sponsoring us to the tune of a couple of new iMacs?

Anyhow, as he’s not here that means that Dan has to pick up his slack and introduce the podcast.

Here’s the podcast:

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go… and not watch Jaws this week.

That’s right Lee said he didn’t feel like watching Jaws and Dan folded like a cheap cards table and so they decided a ramble in the Bronx (do you see what I did there?)  was what was called for.  If you follow the Facebook page or on Twitter you probably saw the call out for questions already.  Well now behold the answers!!!

Listen as Lee and Dan talk:

• buddy films
• Hot Fuzz vs Shaun of the Dead
• hovercrafts (really! there’s more!)
• movies that they haven’t seen but are going to watch
• film and dread
• Schwarzenegger
• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• self fulfilling prophecies
• films that scare them

Next week the boys promise to watch the giant shark movie!!

Due to unforeseen circumstances (he couldn’t be bothered to watch the movie) Lee was absent from this podcast and dan was joined instead by Ian from Single Parent Dad and Justin from JJ Daddy-O

And also due to Dan’s complete and utter incompetency the “record” button wasn’t pressed during the hour long discussion of the film, and so all that remains is this sorry excuse for a podcast.

So this 11 minutes is all we have for you this week I’m afraid.

We promise we’ll do better next week. Maybe.

Next week it’s 1980′s classic, Flash Gordon

It just scrapes in the ten year mark being released in April 2000.

So instead of Lee and Dan’s unique and pithy insights into Highlander you have to sit through Ian and Dan’s incoherent blatherings about clone movies (that’s films that were released the at the same time and which, apparently accidentally, have virtually the same plot).

Ian and Dan discuss:

It’s Lee here with a little bit of a departure from our regularly scheduled programming, if you’ve arrived on the home page looking for the latest podcast it’s the previous post.

It’s Lee here with a little bit of a departure from our regularly scheduled programming, if you’ve arrived on the home page looking for the latest podcast it’s the previous post.

Dan and I have been having a discussion regarding the level of swearing in the Midnight Movie Club and whilst Dan and I only do the podcast because it is neat to meet up online once a week and talk about a film that we’ve probably seen 100 times before we do care about what you the listeners think as well.

Now you may have read on Twitter that things did not go so well with The Monster Squad podcast.  Mostly because the film serves as a reminder that we’re getting old and some films that we treasured as youth do not hold up particularly well and that’s disappointing and can top off an already less than remarkable week.

I only say this to put the podcast that you guys won’t get to hear until next week into context when I say that I use the F word a total of 47 times.  Clearly this is too many times.  I’m not effing Gordon Ramsey.  But I was having a bad day and swearing enters my vocabulary when I’m ruffled.

So obviously as mentioned 47 times is going over the top but it did highlight for us a question we have and that is whether or not we should be a ‘clean’ podcast or not.  Reality of the situation is that we both swear, but we are also able to conduct conversations in our day to day lives that don’t include swearing, so it’s more than possible.

My own opinion and I hope Dan will either add his to the end of this or in the comments is that one or two swear words are fine, it’s how I talk but it also means that you probably can’t listen to it around your kids.  But with that said I’m also more than happy to be censored or bleeped out.

I guess what we’re looking for is a little feedback on the subject, so if you would be so kind please fill out the poll and maybe leave a comment around your own feelings on the subject – if you would like to drop us a private line that is fine too!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

If you know someone who only listens to us on iTunes could you let them know about the poll!

Cheers

Lee

*washing his mouth out with soap*

As a result there is no movie per se but the boys do call Arjan up out of the blue and hilarity ensues:

It’s probably our best work to date which is probably sad.  Listen to hear Dan and Lee sing songs from The Little Mermaid, it’s actually worse than it sounds!

We promise next week will be Wrath of Khan!!

Want to watch the movie before next week?

Now full disclaimer, this was recorded amidst a lot of technical difficulties and then it was edited by Lee instead of Dan so the quality may be all over the place and there will be no fancy meta data much to the furious anger of Dan.  But this is a very relaxed instalment this week.
