MOVIES!

can anyone using the IMDb get that motherfucking Bug ad to close? Just one more reason to loathe horror films.

okay, i saw a bit of script from dark is rising and ... it's not bad. it was just f/x markup stuff from the first act, and not totally indicative of the script-as-whole. but it seems the project's being rushed through production (for a september/october release?) and, given the dumbfuckery of walden media w/r/t both chronicles of narnia and bridge to terebithia i'm not sure i trust them to do homage to cooper's book. i mean, the whole celtic thing is being altered and the stanton family has turned american. the family-dynamic stuff has been elevated from elegant background to near-foreground and the adventury-survivaly theme has been cranked maximally. still, ian macshane as merriman is great casting, and the kid looks suitable if – yeah – american, so who knows what'll happen?

additionally, the trailer for golden compass/northern lights looks pretty swanky. my concern is that it'll be one of those gorgeously vapid filmed readings that, while textually accurate, does jackshit to elevate itself into cinema-stuff, e.g. the last peter pan. i agree with dan elsewhere that the story is perfect for film, but i'd love to see it as a gritty foreign john huston man who would be king yarn than an overdesigned clothes-horse with a horny art department peaking the heap of priorities. also in the trailer, I wondered where the dæmons were: there's not a panteleimon in sight, except for during a little scuffle fight with another cat. probably just b/c the f/x aren't done?

hah morbs i'm the inverse of you when it comes to JC i guess (love streams and AWUTI are my faves and bookie did almost nothing for me)

try Mikey & Nicky (like late-era Lenny Bruce, JC's style is best when done by others)

Mikey and Nicky is so great.

I'm somewhere between IH and Morbs on Cassavetes: Chinese Bookie and Love Streams are my favorites.

Venus (O'Toole receiving the finger from young starlet the best scene).

lucky

okay, i saw a bit of script from dark is rising

i didn't know there was an adaptation afoot. but having googled it, this sounds a little worrisome.

Episodes 1-2, Season 1, Prime Suspect

Pretty great, but not quite as exciting as the first season of The Wire (though it might well have been in the early '90s).

sexnological!

Bug - worse than you could have ever imagined

I know this is going to be the least notable post on noize board ever, but I just finally saw Blue Velvet and I am massively excited by it.

I don't know why I never got around to it - I've seen Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Wild at Heart, Eraserhead, Straight Story, even the short films.

Dune and Elephant Man are still his best

months later.. I'm still kind of recovering from how good 'Inland Empire' was. such a real thrill to be around for him as he continues to dazzle.

although ... as great as 'IE' was I have to admit I am little bit disappointed about his conviction that he will never use film again.

My favorite scene - Mike gets out of car to kick Jeffrey's ass, Dorothy suddenly appears naked with cuts all over her body

fuck watching a lynch

fay grim. i liked it alright - nice to have the old gang back together.

lol @ Bug, I saw the play off broadway. the whole point was that the bugs were probably imaginary! can't believe they made that a movie.

watched Born Into Brothels last night

I noticed echoes of The Graduate in some of the scenes with Dorothy and Jeffrey, and also of 80s teen movies at certain points, but I have this vague memory of hearing Lynch say he doesn't like to reference other films. Did I make that up?

which is to say: i just watched elephant man and didn't get a lot out of it. i haven't seen dune in forever.

festival express

really? did you like it?

mr. brooks

it was entertaining overall. there's some amazing footage of buddy guy and the band, and some very endearing joplin stuff. good off-stage drama/antics/jams. oh, and sha na na. man... what the hell was their deal? i LOVED them when i was very young (like 5/6 yrs) but i think i was missing something.

sha na na

i thought festival express was mildly diverting

some of the jams on the train were pretty cool

I love The Band

i saw it too, i was just kinda surprised that it showed outside canada!

sha na na were so weird!!

I saw it on netflix but it showed in theaters in new york

sha na na omg
