MOVIES!

I'm not sure what stopped them from chopping her arm off!

bond didnt catch those feelings, he gets rid of them! "the bitch is dead" = classic line in the novel, which was the first of the bond series. (actually come to think of it theres a later book/film where he falls in love & is going to get married & the girl ends up getting shot in a failed assassination attempt but whatever)

anyway that was a great fucking movie

I'm thinking of that great scene in Diamonds are Forever in which Plenty O'Toole seduces Bond, and seconds after she takes her dress off, thugs burst into the room and throw her out the window without so much as a word. That's the kind of misogyny I expect.

And that collapsing building sequence? Half expected Dick Van Dyke to come flying in on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to save the day.

anyway that was a great fucking movie

ttoally

still, I like this Bond. Are they going to start re-doing them all?

eh wouldnt end and all that poker why

THOUGHTS ON YAHOWA MOVIE:

- crappy narration
- skip the last ten minutes (kid who made the film crappily justifying it to some kind of college panel)
- sloooow opening
- all clearly acid casualties

+ food at their restaurant sounds awesome
+ intermittent animated .gif aesthetic catering to stoner crowd
+ Yod's peyote freak-out
+ (very) relative sanity of the one man interviewed who was born into the family
+ awesome soundtrack
+ i never knew Father Yod was an athletic CHAMPION (unclear on whether he was literally an olympic medalist) and a highly-decorated marine

- men only had about one orgasm per month

oh also a BIG plus: Yod's obsession with the masonic background of the founding fathers.

hahaha if this movie's called Bond 22 that will be interesting

ian do you own that movie? I kinda want to borrow it if it's yours

I can offer Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda for a swap if you haven't seen that yet

http://images.villagevoice.com/issues/0611/hoberman2.jpg

yes, i do own it dave! we'll arrange a swap later in the week--i haven't seen thunderbolt pagoda, just heard the sdtrk.

southland tales -- at least as much fun as i expected from all the grumpy baffled reviews. (i also don't really understand the anti-hipster ire richard kelly seems to inspire. i guess it has something to do with too many hipsters geeking out over donnie darko. i missed all that. i like both his movies.)

ok so b/c i have way less work to do this wkend than i originally thought, what movie should i see this afternoon/evening?? i have been v busy and not paying attention :( need something to relax my mind a bit but not depress me with state-of-the-effed-up-world stuff (for instance, dl-ed idiocracy last week and found it pretty depressing tho i commend it for being able to do that i guess. anyway, don't want to feel like that today.)

no country for old men
american gangster
eastern promises
into the wild
across the universe (for some reason i feel like i should see this?)
beowolf (haha i have a friend who would prob be into this tho)

no country for old men & eastern promises are both great american gangster is awful havent seen the rest although i am planning a 3d imax beowolf screening

they are showing beowolf in 3d imax here too! i think it might be too much for me right now though unless it involves a beer or two prior to watching
no country for old men is probably the right level

haha i am watching sabrina now! thx for link above, pash

hey rob

1. eastern promises
2. no country for old men
3. american gangster (i think i might see this today)
4. beowolf
last. into the wild
last. across the universe (i heard it was tough to get through)

oh wait 3d beowulf might push that up to 1st or 2nd

Noisers love the arty slaughter pix.

Tony n' Tina's Wedding (worst comedy ever?)
Murmur of the Heart

I think ZARDOZ watching night at my house this week

god that movie is so...sublime

they just don't make 'em like that anymore

tonight I think I watch Nicolas Roeg's Performance

xpost - yeah zardoz is sweet. my old boss in VA told me about that movie! I had never heard of it. he had seen it on tv as a little kid or something @__@

i saw zardoz when it came out -- on acid :D

was it considered a "cult" movie from the start or was it supposed to be a big mass-market scifi sean connery flick??

choice b, sci-fi and futuristic movies were big in the 70s, even before Star Wars. supposed to be mass-market but I don't know how big of a hit it was. Soylent Green's another good one, that came out a couple years before Z. another cult favorite from highschool days was Westworld w/Yul Brynner. and Rollerball?

I want to see more SciFi in the vein of og battlestar galactica, zardoz, logan's run, etc

i saw zardoz when it came out -- on acid :D

awesome

Actually, I may be able to get acid if anyone wants to drop acid and watch zardoz

I want to see more SciFi in the vein of og battlestar galactica, zardoz, logan's run, etc

otm. is there anything that comes close these days?

zardoz is one of those movies that seems like it could ONLY have been made in the 70's

I should put Soylent on my netflix, always meant to see that

I wasn't that into westworld

"And in a funny way, the shaving of my, uh, head has been a liberation from, uh, a lot of, uh, stupid vanities really. Uh, it has simplified everything for me, it has opened a lot of doors maybe."
(SM)
I'm not what you think I am
I'm the king of Siam
I've got a bald head
My name is Yul Brynner
And I am a famous movie star
Perhaps you saw me in Westworld
I acted like a robotic cowboy
It was my best role
I can not deny I
Felt right home deep inside
That electronic carcass

westworld probably was enhanced by copious amounts of w33d. a campy drive-in classic.

in retrospect I'd say tripping at the movies is a bit redundant...

logans run is good movie

I want to see more SciFi in the vein of og battlestar galactica, zardoz, logan's run, etc

try the omega man: biohazard mutants, blaxploitation, charlton heston, what more could you want?

In that new I Am Legend version with Will Smith that's coming they're doing the vampires entirely CGI. how lame is that?

you had me at will smith.

the godfather of all the 70s sci-fi movies is thx-1138.

also recommend some of the planet of the apes sequels. beneath, escape
from, and conquest of the planet of the apes all have these freaky 70s dystopian endings... just thinking about conquest makes me want to see it again. is it really as fucked up as I remember? the talking apes are an enslaved underclass who stage a violent revolution, not just against the man, but against MAN!

westworld is pretty tits.

ohman zardoz yeah

ended up on off chance checking the dollar cinema listings and omg they were playing THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM at 5. which was really and truly the only movie that was going to suit me PERFECTLY today. and it.was.sweet. wow. then ate a bunch of indian food. aw yeah.

will see eastern promises soon though for sure

bourne movies rule

apparently my recollection of conquest of the planet of the apes is accurate...

omg @ orange jumpsuits

wow!

i had a friend who went through a planet of the apes phase a couple years ago. i haven't gone through that phase. i remember seeing some of the sequels on tv when i was younger though.

omg @ john huston, too

I am so close to jumping in the car and driving down to the video store to rent conquest of the planet of the apes. on-demand video, where is your victory?

if you were a kid in the 70s pre-star wars you had two choices: planet of the apes and star trek. I went through my pota phase early on. I even had the treehouse! and yes I had the same expression as the kid on the box when I got it...
