last night i watched SHAKEDOWN with PETER WELLER and SAM ELLIOT in GRITTY 1988 NYC. terrible and often implausible and incomprehensible but totally fun to watch. obligatory action sequence on the cyclone!

I'm Gonna Explode (2009, Gerardo Naranjo)
The Boy With Green Hair (1946, Joseph Losey)
I'll Come Running (2006, Spenser Parons) - Left me freaked out because my best friend is a ringer for Melonie Diaz
Unmade Beds (2009, Alexis Dos Santos) - It falls apart when you think about it (homeless immigrants in London will likely not find themselves living out the hipster dream), but still exhilirating.
Marie Antoinette (1938, W. S. Van Dyke) - This movie should have lauched a thousand camp revivals by now.
Earrings of Madame De... (1953, Max Ophuls)

For the Denis, yeah. I wasn't crazy about either of those, but there's some great stuff in I Can't Sleep. I'm really bummed I had to miss her Rivette doc. I've been trying to see that for years and something always intervenes. I'm going to try to catch No Fear No Die on Weds. Did you go to any of them?

― C0L1N B..., Monday, 15 November 2010 17:07 (2 years ago) Permalink

no. and I have 'year-end' screenings Wed-Fri, and need to catch Pedro Costa and one of the Bruce Conner programs at FF the next 2 nights.

Ne Change Rien is definitely worth seeing, but it's easily the weakest Costa, imo. There are a few incredible sequences -- mostly dealing with the Offenbach rehearsals, but the studio stuff can get very dull because Jeanne Balibar isn't a very interesting musician.

You can catch those Connors at MoMA like every other week!

oooh, "the weakest Costa" is bad news in my book. not crazy about him tbh.

The Trojan Women

is this the one Kate Hepburn was in?

― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Monday, 15 November 2010 17:40 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, she's the weakest thing in it: she's playing Eleanor of Aquitaine in a toga. I'm reminded again though that Genevieve Bujold is one strange, great actress.

― otherwise, and twat (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 15 November 2010 17:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

I don't know, maybe you'll like it then? The narrative, as such, is more straightforward than the Fountainhas films, but it's still very him. Very dark image, long long takes of slight variations on the same action. It's closest to Hidden Smile, but instead of being about the fuckin Straubs, it's about a connected actress trying her hand at music.

last film I saw was Thoroughly Modern Millie w/ Julie Andrews. Thought it was extremely entertaining. Before that:

Rock and Rule - talked all the way through this cause it seemed really boring/sexist after a few minutes. Cool animation though.
House (recent Japanese one) - meh.
MacGruber - was entertaining and funny enough. I always enjoy Val Kilmer.
The Signal - scary and unsettling. I recommend it highly.
Harold and Kumar - finally got around to watching this. It lived up to its hype.
