'into the abyss' is on netflix streaming now

into the abyss was some really sad stuff, great film. it made me think about having nightmares where you've committed a crime or something, just the root ugliness at the heart of the state and the serious criminal.

It was really sad. I don't know if I could watch that one again. I just watched Invincible for the first time last night, and it was pretty good but the Zimmer soundtrack was a bit syrupy for me.

Invincible was one of the first movies I watched with Je55e.

xpost Zimmer with Herzog is such a weird idea. And mini-Zimmer Klaus Badelt did most of the scoring on Rescue Dawn too.

are u guys watching that? herzog is narrating from a plastic bag's pov

yeah Into the Abyss completely ruined my night. just deeply depressing on multiple levels. don't think it's one i'll ever return to.

Yoo hooHas anyone read the book about Heart of Glass yet? Every Night the Trees Disappear by Alan Greenberg?
If so,(1) recommend?(2) is the music discussed at all, or just the movie/circumstances surrounding the making of the movie?

I got the Heart of Glass book (Every Night the Trees Disappear) for Christmas and I'm already halfway done. It's got short chapters/vignettes about the production of the movie (which involved villagers and hypnotism, typically) intercut with excerpts of some kind of treatment of the movie itself. Enjoyable easy reading, nothing about the music yet but at least it's not stuffy/academic (yet).

I just finished it -- it's enjoyable, and has lots of poignant/puzzling classic Herzog moments. Nothing about the soundtrack, but there's a small bit at the end about the Ancient Music Ensemble that plays on Skellig rock, but I don't even remember that part at all. Guess it's time to watch the movie again!
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 31 December 2012 15:36 (4 months ago) Permalink
Oh and there's this hilarious part where Herzog is like (I'm paraphrasing here) "I'm the best person at handling music in movies, I am #1" and then some other guy comes along and says no, he is the worst.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 31 December 2012 15:51 (4 months ago) Permalink
other guy is wrong
― dan selzer, Monday, 31 December 2012 15:59 (4 months ago) Permalink
Agree. I just checked and it was Thomas Binkley of the Ancient Music Ensemble, who only approved of the way Hollywood handles movie music. Apparently he spent a large portion of the evening talking about Mickey Mouse, so clearly he cannot be trusted.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 31 December 2012 16:17 (4 months ago) Permalink
I wish more hollywood movies had used ppl like Binkley/Ancient Music Ensemble!
(wish someone would put out David Munrow's Zardoz score on CD)
― ~farben~ (Jon Lewis), Monday, 31 December 2012 16:37 (4 months ago) Permalink
The Devils too!! Have you ever heard A Walk with Love and Death by Georges Delerue? I trust Thomas Binkley with ancient music, but not so much with talking cartoon mice.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 31 December 2012 16:40 (4 months ago) Permalink
Yeah Walk w Love n Death is a nice example! Delerue did a couple others with that period flavor too... The Borgias (old miniseries) was one...

i watched the happy people, it was p great, touching seeing this trapper dude out there just being the most competent philosophical guy at one w nature, i guess herzog didnt film it just edited it down from a longer russian mini series and gave it the trademark narration, only complaint the russian translation seemed quite artless and flat

Cobra Verde isn't perfect BUT it does have the ultimate Herzog ending (well, that one or Stroszek's)
― Simon H., Tuesday, 22 January 2013 19:43 (3 months ago) Permalink
Is Cobra Verde the one with the big dance number at the end? (never thought I'd say that, but there it is)
― this customer is a jerk (La Lechera), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 21:28 (3 months ago) Permalink
really want to see Happy People, although the Herzog narration in one of the clips I watched was surprisingly annoying and riddled with cliches -- "No rules, no bureaucracy, total self-reliance" blah blah
