I find the pace hypnotic
lynch, cronenberg, or herzog movies can be slow in the same way

how high's the wackness going to place?

also, YES
XP
YESSSSSSSSSS
only film's I haven't seen so far are the korean ones; look interesting
i mean yeah 75 percent of miike's films* are set-pieces with surreal/wacky connective tissue between them, but audition's pacing is just masterful.
*of the ones i've seen, naturally.
also BOOOOOOOOO at the host placing so low.

The Host = better genre film than Sexy Beast

way xpost to strongo yeah I get that, but it still doesn't make me want to sit through the build-up again. I think I like the short version of DUMPLINGS! more frankly.

The Host was my #10 film.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:01 (sixteen years ago)
okay that's kinda inexplicable
Uh, this. Just saw Sexy Beast recently, and the movie was fine and Kingsley was undeniably good in it, buuuut...really nothing special about it. I mean, why this and not Layer Cake? I dunno. I guess I'm less surprised that people voted for it than I am that it showed up so high in the results.

haha DUMPLINGS! is great, but wtf
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:01 (sixteen years ago)
Well, and there you go again. The Host was fine but it didn't exactly thrill me. Whatever, though. Y'all dig whatcha dig, and that's cool.

Love the way The Host starts as a monster movie and ends as a political satire.
― Ork Alarm (Matt #2), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:02 (sixteen years ago)
actually i think the close-mic'd chewing noises in DUMPLINGS! may have grossed me out more than anything else this decade
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:02 (sixteen years ago)
why in the fuck does DUMPLINGS! keep going to all caps? (see?)
Yeah I had that D u m p l i n g s problem on the noms thread.
You have a problem with Bai Ling and fetus eating?
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:02 (sixteen years ago)
I can't be the only one who thinks Ben Kingsley badly overacted ("YES! YES! YES!"). There's great overacting, but this isn't it.
― Inculcate a spirit of serfdom in children (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:03 (sixteen years ago)
more movies i didn't vote for but like a lot: audition, the host. i love how long audition takes to really build up to full-crazy level. if the whole movie was like the last 30-45 minutes, it would be too much. (it still is too much, but in a good way.)
― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:04 (sixteen years ago)
I've never actually seen the full version of DUMPLINGS!. The short in Three Extremes is great though. Way more entertaining than the other two (and Audition).
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:04 (sixteen years ago)
d u m p l i n g's was easily the best part of three extremes for sure

woah
park's short there was the moment the korean "we can't stick to one emotional note for more than 30 seconds" thing started to bug me
Okay this ALL CAPS plus ! is hilarious.
DUMPLINGS!! is better than Audition just cuz of that!
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:05 (sixteen years ago)
dump-LINGS!
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:06 (sixteen years ago)
HOW DID IT DO THAT?
I don't remember Park's short except that it felt very Clive Barker-y. And Miike's was just a dull ghost thing, right?

Never knew the Host existed but that picture and the lolwesanderson story made me add it to my lovefilm list.
― 80085 (a hoy hoy), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:09 (sixteen years ago)
I don't know if The Host qualifies as horror, because it wasn't gory at all, but it was genuinely thrilling, I thought. It had such enthusiastic pacing, hurtling from one scene to the next. I loved the slob hero at the center of it all, too, and the way you didn't really get more than a few glimpses of the monster for what seemed like half the movie
― Dan S, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:10 (sixteen years ago)
the host is a continual "american cgi monster types: yr doin it wrong" reminder.
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:10 (sixteen years ago)
Nice to see Bong Joon-Ho get 2 films in here, probably too much to expect that Joint Security Area will make it too.

The Host is everything Cloverfield wanted to be, but failed. Tho the broad comedy in The Host was a bit o_O

I actually voted for 4 Bong Joon-Ho movies.
