Mama Klump is the greatest movie character evah.

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.

Maybe that belongs on oh face emoticon thread?

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

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

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

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

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_.

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.

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

I still love this movie.

I like it a lot too.

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

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

"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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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.

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 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― ‘•’u (gear), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 23:30 (nineteen years ago)

white people? baseball fans? john cougar mellencamp enthusiasts?

- 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 (nineteen years ago)

i am ambivalent about munich, what to think

kev, ppl who don't want to enrich racists

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 11 January 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

i need to maybe go into stores more :/

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

jaxon's on it

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

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.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

i find 5 minute soliloquies about pustulent ass-boils to be about as subtle as falling anvils.

and the troma dig was more about it being a zany concept executed very poorly and with intentionally awful writing. my loss, i guess?

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

I got Chunking Express from Netflix. Think in the wake of In the Mood for Love/2046, all the WKW stuff stays pretty available.

Bubba Ho-Tep is ... okay. Kinda charming, more than a little annoying. Liked it more than Geoff and Elmo, apparently, but I don't feel I ever need to see it again.

Laurel: WTF is Ek Hasinia Thi?

"...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."

Must see this!

― Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

No no, you really don't need to see it. It's like...what's it like. It's like the J-Lo movie where she kills her abusive husband, if it were made by Bollywood but without any dance scenes so what's the point, really?

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

omg the j-lo movie was ENOUGH.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

― BONERTIME! (ddb1), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

oh dude. did you fly somewhere too? i saw wickerman and last kiss on a plane recently. so awful. the worst part about Last Kiss was even though it was the worst piece of shit i've ever seen, my mom and stepdad are splitting up and i had to turn the movie off for a while because i got all sadface.

also watched My Super Ex Girlfriend on plane and LOVED IT!

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

wife thought it was for 10 yr olds and sucked though (prolly why i liked it)

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

all i've been doing is catching up on the wire. one trip to the cinema to see volver, which i loved. tears of the black tiger or whatever it's called will probably get me out of the house again.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

yr point, ‘•’u ? LAC is the only one I've seen, and he removed all doubt since then. But I'm glad you had time to look for that, champ.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 11 January 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i just remembered you bitching about "l.a. C" at some point, it took about 30 secs. you don't want to see the black dahlia. that's not a question, a statement.

― ‘•’u (gear), Thursday, 11 January 2007 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

tears of the black tiger or whatever it's called

yeah that looks interesting

― dmr (Renard), Thursday, 11 January 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

how is he a racist, morbs?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 11 January 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

I've not read any of the guy's books -- I rarely read contemp fiction, especially not crime stuff -- but a print interview around the time of that docu-film about JE satisfied me on that score... It was his comments on racial profiling in the Terror Age and his enthusiasm for it. Sorry, I can't find quotes.
