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

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...

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/edwardiii/potagift.jpg

probably the same haircut, too

that treehouse is worth smiling about!
i think i have seen grown adults with that haircut these days :/

3 control sticks AND 3 rifles AND a detention pen!

children today have been cheated of such simple pleasures

have u seen no country for old men yet

haha

I'm Not There - pretty great

The Green Mile - worse than I was expecting.

I'm surprised that a lot of the reviews (even the positive ones) have been panning the Ricard Gere / Billy the Kid / Basement Tapes segment ... that was my favorite part! (xp to myself)

Holy fuck, Paul Williams.

ha, I was wondering if anyone would notice that!

watched tout va bien tonight... it was kind of like conquest of the planet of the apes, except without the cool makeup.

I'm surprised that a lot of the reviews (even the positive ones) have been panning the Ricard Gere / Billy the Kid / Basement Tapes segment

i know, i liked that. it was like the embodiment of that whole back-to-nature weird-america basement-tapes thing. so many reviews say "peckinpah" about that part, but it's not peckinpah at all.

i didnt know paul williams played an ape!

Sal Mineo too... (and John Huston w/ gratuitous makeup)

I did BOTH Star Trek and Apes in the '70s! I have a socio-study book of the Apes series that reveals the filmmakers very consciously based the visuals of the rebellion sequence on the Watts riots footage.

Zardoz is dreck, btw, and not even fun dreck. Maybe if Connery in a loincloth was more my type.

Divorce - Italian Style
Such is Life... (a Mexican Medea)
Away from Her
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (overrated pretentious bilge)
Southland Tales (at least funnier than Zardoz, barely)
Dont Look Back / 65 Revisited
Summer with Monika (Bergman)
Gone Baby Gone
Green for Danger

it's not peckinpah at all

is it just that critics haven't heard the basement tapes so they don't get the references as much as the '60s segment? e.g. New Yorker review said something like "at this point we've wandered so far off tangent from Dylan's art ..." but half the dialogue is straight outta the lyrics. dude from My Morning Jacket singing Going to Acapulco in the bandshell was A+ scene.

I really hate My Morning Jacket, so that was the nadir for me.

It is unfortunate they interpret that 'act' as being solely Peckinpah-related bcuz Gere is playing "Billy", when clearly Gere-Dylan look over the horizon at the start of the segment and 'hears' Woodstock. (I haven't heard The Basement Tapes tho.)

Planet.Of.The.Apes.Quadrilogy http://www.2torrent.com/tor.php?id=455236

how come im not there is only playing at shitty little screens

I was shocked it didn't just open in 2 NYC theaters as orig planned last summer; I think the Weinsteins did a 'last-minute' expansion that didn't give them much of a choice on where to book it.

A huge holiday "weekend" (from Tues - Sun) + my parents' house's 60-ish movie channels =

Night at the Museum - not bad, far better than I expected
Wild at Heart - remember when Nicolas Cage was awesome?
Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (The Princess and the Warrior) - mostly unsettling but ultimately pleasing; Franke Potante is the best

Also thanks to the internet =

Futurama: Bender's Big Score - hahahaha hooray!!!!
BBC special GALAPAGOS - cute little lizards + tectonic plates etc!

No Country For Old Men STILL not playing here.

BUT it starts this week.

(I haven't heard The Basement Tapes tho.)

and I havent seen Peckinpah's Billy the Kid movie so I don't know how much of that is in there .... but check out the album art

where's the giraffe?

hear the basement tapes ffs

the only one of those songs I know is "Wheel's on Fire" from the AbFab theme, haha

'70-76 is my least fave rock period. My slightly younger sister was a big Dylan fanatic -- when she was, like 13 -- so I would do braying impressions of "Hard Rain" and stuff to irk her.

byrds version of wheel's on fire is teh best of all versions.
dr. byrds & mr. hyde is so underrated.

last night some crappy harrison ford movie was on My9 instead of Star Trek and I was PISSED.
