^my fave Tarkovsky

The Nutty Professor (Murphy version; great prof and Mama Klump, generally witless Buddy Love)

Devil Wears Prada

not my choice to watch it but it was pretty watchable

― dmr (Renard), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

so apparently joe carnahan, the dude who directed 'narc' and that piven flick 'smokin aces', will be directing the film adaptation of james ellroy's 'white jazz' and it will star george clooney. hmm i dunno...

Castle of Cagliostro - very great! Very fun, kind of raunchy even! It just went off.

Mama Klump is the greatest movie character evah.

I'm staying up late tonight, and, so far, I really really LIKE The Fountain. The music is especially (unexpectably) great.

Still 30 min to go.

No matter how many times you hear someone quote "CAUSE SHE'S GOT A GREAT ASS... AND YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY UP IT," nothing prepares you for the first time you see that scene.

Children of Men - if not for that shitty Mexican threesome flick, Cuaron would have a perfect record of good movies.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 07:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Why did I never watch King of Comedy until now? I want to work in the Jerry Lewis disco fantasy office.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 07:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I loved The Fountain! I can see how it could be boring and trite or something to those less emotionally maleable, but I found it beautiful, at points heart-breakingly so.

I still love this movie.

Watched Cagliostro because of this thread (though I'd always meant to sometime). I had no idea it lifted/homaged so much stuff from Mr. Wonderbird / The King and the Mockingbird!

Clearly, Eddie's fondness for hanging with trans folks paid dividends.

House of Strangers (odd JL Mankiewicz ethnic semi-noir)

Oh I almost forgot but apparently Les Claypool did sound work on Castle of Cagliostro.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe that belongs on oh face emoticon thread?

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh google, why must you always dash my dreams with your facts? (Not the same Les Claypool).

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

gear that casting for white jazz sounds perfect! have you read it?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

rewatched George Romero's Season of the Witch with friends on DVD -- surreal dream sequences and captures 70's hipster suburbia much more horrifyingly than the kitsched-out Stepford Wives -- every scene is powerful, especially the conversations between the main character, her daughter & her daughter's stoner professor boyfriend.

great electronic music score + the donovan song as she does a tour of early 70's san francisco co-op stores = amazing, this is just as resonant as Night of the Living Dead. need to see his other early films _now_.

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i have read it! it's my favorite ellroy novel, maybe. i'm a little iffy on carnahan directing it, though. his new flick looks dire, like 'one night at mccool's' as remade by mcg. i think clooney could be good. but he could be all wrong. it's 50/50.

I still love this movie.

I like it a lot too.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Milton, The Crazies is great too. And Martin! hell, I like them all. I love Knightriders too. So underrated by normal people.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

"his new flick looks dire, like 'one night at mccool's' as remade by mcg"

Um, what?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

supposedly there is a re-make of The Crazies in the works. Upcoming from Romero: Diary Of The Dead and a movie about a dead rock band.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

oh right. that movie. yeah that does look dire. it's like the 2000s' things to do in denver when yr dead. but narc was great.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Aw come on! Alicia Keys + guns! Yeah!

if not for that shitty Mexican threesome flick

yeah, i don't understand how the same person made both of these films

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i am so happy that someone else has seen this movie. that scene reminded me of all of the coke freakout moments in Scarface, but better, because HOLY SHIT. comes out of nowhere.

also, i wonder of the director of 'white jazz' know that people like me refuse to see movies based on the fact that George Clooney is in them. that smug shit needs to stop getting roles.

hahah

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

what i love about that scene is he's really close to saying "big ass!" but then switches it up at the last second.

but i think i prefer the 'by the time i get to phoenix' bit.

white people? baseball fans? john cougar mellencamp enthusiasts?

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 11 January 2007 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

- MUNICH (hey Steve-o!)
- CHILDREN OF MEN (yep)
- some Starz-broadcast doc on "midnight movies" (6 specifically - starts w/ EL TOPO & AJ, spends a good amt of time w/ John Waters, nice little bits w/ George Romero & David Lynch, & even the ROCKY HORROR part wasn't too annoying)

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 11 January 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i am ambivalent about munich, what to think

The last 10 minutes of L.A. Confidential are quite hideous.

just finished Bubba Ho-Tep. pretty great. hated Art School Confidential. thought Talledega Nights was pointless and loved Children of Men

??? someone explain me bubba ho-tep. least funny hour and a half i've ever spent.

― geoff (gcannon), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Watched that Wm. S. Hoffman Capote biopic last night. Boringest thing in the world. Incomparably dreary. Like trying to read In Cold Blood.

Earlier this week, Chunking Express, Breathless and Band of Outsiders were all GREAT, though that's kinda cheating, 'cuz I'd seen 'em all before.

― Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

marie antoinette. WEAK.

kith: brain candy not as funny as i remembered. :(

xpost i saw bubba ho-tep when it came out, & geoff OTM -- i cannot understand the appeal to anyone beside schlocky troma fanboys.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

bubba ho-tep is weird. it's not a comedy, but it marketed itself as one. it's a saddo drama about old people, wtf

― ‘•’u (gear), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

wait, where did you get/see chungking express? b/c i was told it wasn't on video/dvd - but i have not inquired for a while

marie antoinette is awesome

i am seeing children of men tonight!

shopgirl - kinda boring but some pretty scenes. steve martin does a nice job of making LA seem not so weird, appealing even

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i own chungking express on dvd, it's pretty widely available. i think you can find it at best buy for ten bucks.

― ‘•’u (gear), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i need to maybe go into stores more :/

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i think all of wkw's films are now domestically available. i need to pick up 'days of being wild' at some point. and i need to get 'fallen angels' back from someone who borrowed it a year ago.

― ‘•’u (gear), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

bubba hotep was hardly troma besides 5 minutes of mummy action and bruce campbell staring in it. i thought it was pretty funny and pretty subtle. you just wouldn't get it

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

jaxon's on it

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Existenz: momentarily diverting, but I think I did my nails while I watched it. I wouldn't have believed it was possible to make Jude Law look THAT BAD.
Ek Hasina Thi: pretty dumb, but classic for the plot development where she leaves him to be gnawed to death by rats and he's gradually overrun by squeaking fleshy things.
