Do you choose to rent them on purpose or is it by accident? Have either of you watched the Great Lebowski, Blue Velvet, Lake Placid 2, or the Vault?
The Big Lebowski is my least favorite Coen Brothers movie. I just don't like all the cussing. I'm a prude :)
I know you didn't mean it funny, but that question is cracking me up! "Girl in the Gold Boots? What the...I meant to get Spiderman 2!"
That one was a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie, so I definitely got it on purpose. :-)
I do like offbeat sort of movies. I guess they would be called "mainstream indie" films. Of the ones you've mentioned I've only seen The Big Lebowski. I really like the Cohen Bros. I'm not a movie snob in the least, though. I can't wait for Batman and The X-Files. I wasn't really interested in Hellboy 2 (didn't see 1) until I saw the guy who directed Pan's Labyrinth was involved. That movie was amazing. Sorta gross (I almost passed out at what happened to the general, I won't ruin it if you haven't seen it, but it's gross).
The only problem with indie films is that either men are going to kiss at some point or there will be the grossest, most violent thing you can think of and not just for a minute. They keep pounding you with the grossness!
