What'd you think of Love Me Or Leave Me, Morbs?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

It was pretty good, esp Cagney and Doris' songs, but for that bleak a story it needed more graphic treatment -- ie, shoulda been made 20 years later. A little too long also.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure how I feel about Day singing stuff like "Ten Cents A Dance"; she worked hard to sell them (you can see her sweat), which is probably the point.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

Infamous - I fell asleep, but it wasn't bad
Carandiru - sort of unsatisying and messy and (maybe) bad

Alfred - where did you see Old Joy?

― admrl, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

i saw the departed last night and matt damon's character spoke EXACTLY like my younger sister's boyfriend.

two things made me home sick for boston- a harpoon beer poster in a background shot of a bar and hearing someone get called a donkey.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

I believe Old Joy came out on DVD yesterday

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh!

― admrl, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

Alfred - where did you see Old Joy?

Yup, I got it yesterday. Will watch it tonight.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

I missed it in the theatre. It is now at the top of my Netflix.

― admrl, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Has anyone remarked how the campfire scene in Old Boy resembles the one in My Own Private Idaho?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone interested in a early evening screening on sat of christine, children of paradise or fri 13th part 3?

― JW, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

i finally watched the bird people of china - i am completely and deeply in love with bird girl.

― jhøshea, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

i think i saw her on the train last night u_u

― JW, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

i'm sure at some point she'll come to see that i'm a sounder romantic investment than deaf guitarist.

― jhøshea, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

xpost to Alfred

Someone has, in fact.

should I go see Our Man Flint tonight or Syndromes and a Century[/i]?

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

Gad, I had no idea you reviewed it. The massage scene is all I'll likely remember of the movie (and maybe the dog carrying the stick).

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 3 May 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

well, I didn't fully review it. Someone who thought Daniel London was listenning to RIGHT-WING RADIO in the car instead of Air America might have.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 3 May 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

New Yorkers with any '60s / Vietnam / Nixon obsessions might wanna check out some Emile de antonio docs at Anthology -- I need to make time for the Weather Underground one.

Have you seen Point of Order!?

― C0L1N B..., Saturday, 5 May 2007 05:06 (nineteen years ago)

Love Me Or Leave Me rules you guys. the scene where Cagney confronts Day and tells her to stop jerking him around is INSANE.

"The debt is too big, I can't pay you back, there's nothing I can do"
Cagney, desperate, pleading: "Isn't there?"

fucked up

― Milton Parker, Saturday, 5 May 2007 05:20 (nineteen years ago)

Colin, yes. Millhouse too.

v1c, Bully is good, Ken Park awful

The Host
Cotton Comes to Harlem ('69 locations, wow)

wow, what version of old boy did you see?

― Edward III, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

i finished watching babel today - hm. i don't know, it tugged at heart though, really liked the japanese part of the story.

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

sleep - bully is the tits, dont miss it.

― jhøshea, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz .....

― BLASTOCYST, Saturday, 5 May 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

wow, what version of old boy did you see?

The one in which Will Oldham says everything except "I really wanna kiss you, man" to Daniel London (the massage the next day compensates).

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 5 May 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

that is different from the version that i saw, where dae-su just fucks up a lot of dudes

― river wolf, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:55 (nineteen years ago)

but i live out in the sticks, so maybe they cleaned it up a bit. red stater bullshit

― river wolf, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

should i bother with bully and ken park? i did like kids...

Bully is great. I've never felt filthier after seeing a movie - between the dewy bodies and the subject matter, it's just a wonderful two hours of disgust.

Is it worth driving 30 minutes to see the new Verhoeven?

how i did rote movies book?

(but i didn't write the little blurb there, which is full of run-ons and WRONG in that there is no alexander payne in the book. but whatever. i figured the noise board movie thread was exactly the place to launch the international marketing juggernaut.)

― tipsy mothra, Friday, 18 May 2007 07:22 (nineteen years ago)

(also book pays potential compliment to both andersons AND sofia coppola, so is probably best avoided altogether.)

― tipsy mothra, Friday, 18 May 2007 07:23 (nineteen years ago)

half of until the end of the world directors cut - eh totally frustrating. silly futuristic swashbuckling dream reading machine wim wenders - theoretically what's not to like. but it's so annoying. like what is the appeal of william hurt - what a fucking drip and no chemistry with the girl. and i know sam neil's character is supposed to be lame but he is oh so lame. i remember liking the much much shorter theatrical release when i was 17. but this, i dunno.

Army of Strangers
28 Days Later
Get Shorty

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
-- Dr Morbius

I saw this two months ago. Whaddya think? The most telenovela-esque of the Japanese pantheon?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

It's fine; he did a ton more problems-of-geisha films. Naruse really doesn't shake me tho. I like the empty glass shot. Also, I'm pretty sure I saw this once before and didn't remember a single damn thing.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

watched The Holy Mountain last night

whoa

― river wolf, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

may need to watch it again, not-stoned

(so relieved that roommate didn't come home drunk/stoned with homies last night---trying to 'explain' any of what happens in that movie to an drunk and stupid person would have been unbearable...)

― river wolf, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

may need to watch it again, not-stoned

honestly not sure if it makes much difference

― dmr, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

how i did rote movies book?

nice! congrats

― dmr, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

jeez tipsy, I missed that! Super! Will there be any bookstore readings?

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

(and you better not say Malick is a pinhead anywhere in there)

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think malick is mentioned. no readings. i guess i could do my own podcast of it, in funny voices. it's mostly being sold to libraries and universities i think. (hence the ridiculous pricing.) i'm scared to flip through it because of all the mistakes and dumbness i'm sure to find.

― tipsy mothra, Friday, 18 May 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

sick on couch yesterday, watched:

crossfire
