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.

The Chungking Express DVD was part of the QUENTIN TARANTINO PRESENTS series along with all the other Azn Miramax releases.

By the way, all y'all aren't missing anything, these comments are basically exactly the same as my Netflix notes.

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

OTM. nothing funny about cancer on yr dick. I like it for reasons I can't actually explain. I think because the mummy is dressed like a cowboy.

ellroy: rodney king blown out of proportion, rampart no big deal, etc.

I think he is more pro-law-enforcement than out-and-out racist, but when the law enforcement in question is the LAPD .....

I think the charm of Bubba Ho-Tep is that we all know Bruce Campbell is going to be the most awesome old dude ever.

james ellroy is probably certifiably insane and definitely has some politics i disagree with, but i don't think he's a racist. when i saw him read a few months back he kept going on about how he was going to write six more books, each one better than the previous, and then DIE.

just saw children of men!
i liked it but am feeling kind of overwhelmed
it was very blue and grey. and reminded me a bit of 28 days later, in certain ways (aesthetically and thematically), but not in other ways

as tears go by, for wong completism. so '80s! it's like hong kong vice or something. i love how so much of his style and themes are already obvious, even with all the linn drums.

amazing colors indeed! i envy someone seeing suspiria for the first time. color-wise, he learned from the master (bava):

hey that almost looks like it could be a still from pan's labyrinth

which I saw tonight

It was okay ... pretty cool I guess ... wished there was more underworld stuff! It was closer to Devil's Backbone than I expected ...

I saw The Beguiled, which is wonderful. Very deep, subtle, has perfect dialogue. I don't know how to talk about movies, but it's good!

any NYCers seen the rereleases of EL TOPO and/or HOLY MOUNTAIN?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Sunday, 14 January 2007 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

saw Babel last night. i thought it was alright, but wanted to shoot myself in the face afterwards. my friend thought it was TERRIBLE. i wouldn't go that far, but it was stretching the interconnectedness of these stories worse than dude's other films and they were hitting you over the head with what was gonna happen

― jaxon (jaxon), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

I too just saw Suspiria for the first time! Really good, it was either very genuinely scary or I am a pussy when I'm hungover. I have that one chimey jam with the whispery lalalas stuck in my head.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

this is an extra on one of the DVD editions of Suspiria:

has anyone seen the remake of 'the hitcher'? s1ocki? i'm actually somewhat interested in seeing this for some reason. sean bean is pretty cool.

― ‘•’u (gear), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

I half-expect him to yell "FOR GONDOR!" in every movie I see him in now.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

no i'm sending someone to that tomorrow gear.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

i love sean bean though. RONING.

pan's labyrinth

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

Odd little docu called "In the Realms of the Unreal" about Henry Darger, reclusive outsider artist, blah blah blah.

Pretty good, although the decision to animate his paintings was sort of odd, I thought.

"Children of Men" was good, but not the SECOND COMING OF MOVIEDOM OMG some people seem to think.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 15 January 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

Tears Of The Black Tiger is totally amazing. I saw it when it was first released a few years ago (in other words, I WAS THERE) and I bought the soundtrack. His other movies...not so good.

― Rebel.yell.For.Internet.cakes (nordicskilla), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

'the seven-ups' - a totally dope chase scene, awesome '70s nyc milieu, roy scheider as a borderline crooked cop (i think it's supposed to be the same character he played in 'the french connection').

― ‘•’u (gear), Monday, 15 January 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I thought the animation in that Darger doc was a mistake. It was also a bit frustrating how nobody actually knew anything about him or even how to pronounce his name.

The animation in that Beatrix Potter movie looks ridiculous too. I'd like to see someone like Ken Burns pick up this technique though so instead of slowly panning pictures of Civil War soldiers we'd actually see them come to life and bayonet each other.

i really like the name "the whispery la-las" for a band.

i watched 54 tonight because i've been reading a book about disco history and i've seen most other disco movies before. it was okay-- i really love Dottie Disco the best, tho. the rest of the movie was sort of 'great, another ryan philippe sexy shot.' fucking stupid.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:56 (nineteen years ago)

the rest of the movie was sort of 'great, another ryan philippe sexy shot.' fucking stupid.

If that were true, I might've loved the movie. Instead I thought it was a strong contender for all-time worsts. Still, it might be Miramax's fault.

'the seven-ups'

Classic! That was one they would play a lot on t.v. during my misspent youth.

Weren't there two movies about Studio 54? One with Mike Myers? Or is that 54? I can't remember

Saw Before Sunrise the other night for the first time since 1995. There's something a little too mannered about their dialogue sometimes -- which I didn't notice in the sequel -- and Hawke is kind of a douche (although I think that's just how is character is written). But oh man, Julie Delpy is so great. And pretty.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

klute. not a wonderful movie, but jane fonda was just amazing. there's no way men wrote her dialogue.

wait, slocki are you in town?
