king of kong - makes me wanna go to Barcade

the tv show breaking bad is recommended

The Moustache (Le Moustache?)
The Unfaithful Wife (I'm really loving 60's Chabrol)
new Roxy Music DVD vol. 1 which is *waaauuu*
The Killing (cool. great to see all the noir icons in a Kubrick but no real tension in this one. Kubrick's no Dassin.)
The Good Thief (love this. Great remake of "Bob Le Flambeur")

i am working on homeworkwatching this jeff goldblum movie and his character's name is HATCH and it is kind of making me lol every time they say his name even though they are all v. serious ppl.

housesitting for fellow grad student in ms f0zi's department (french). slim pickings in the DVD dept. most of the stuff we'd already seen 1000 times (jules et jim, dead man, blues brothers) or had no interest in watching.

but then i stumbled on

http://palais.wikidot.com/local--files/la-planete-sauvage/planete.jpg

ooh i would like to watch this ever since i leonardo'd the soundtrack someone upped.

it's good. i've seen it a few times before.

it's maybe not as "trippy" as i expected. sort of like a cross between what you'd expect from a 70s postapocalyptic sci-fi (like "city of gold and lead" or "war of the worlds" done all in off-white, beige, sepia and institutional greens and oranges) and a particularly drab episode of the pink panther.

very very french, now that i think of it, but nowhere, i mean nowhere near as visually crazy as an issue of heavy metal from the same time. also not as trippy as most disney movies.

it's atmospheric though. and the plot is sort of a nailbiter.

help me decide a debate i'm having with "giles manius" on ichat:

liquid sky vs liquid television

haha i guess i forgot some of the weirdest sequences from the movie.

there's some pretty weird stuff .... gladiator sequence where they tie little chompy monsters to two dudes and they fight it out. <3 that movie

also the bit 1:30 into this trailer o_0

no end in sight
the razor's edge (1946)
waitress (rip adrienne shelly, but what a silly movie)

nights of cabiria

On The Silver Globe

after years of loving Possession so much I didn't even want to see anything else

dark victory (bette davis becoming my fave actress)
john adams (only thing I can tolerate on tv right now)

is it true, as the NYT said, Giamatti in breeches & wig looks like Shrek?

I do not watch Shrek.
but he does not play Adams inna "giamatti" stylee, didn't recognize him at first. Jefferson is cool, though--played as aloof "artist" type. Washington has a putty nose. The Southernern statesmen are all gay dandies. Tar and feather fu. Pox fu. four stars. check it out.

how many episodes is this John Adams series?

Still sad that Tracey Morgan isn't playing Jerfferson in that.

All I needed to know about Shrek I learned from I am Legend

xp: 7 parts. it's the "on demand" thingy.
(no shrek plz!)

i have seen shrek 3 on an airplane :( :( :(

as a matter of fact im pretty sure i saw shrek 2 on a plane too

ive seen all the shreks

midwestern inlaws attempted a shrek 3 screening but the Dancer family is immune to such.

back in hs a friend of mine went to watch shrek alone on a friday night after his gf broke up with him, i made sure to rag on him about what mustve been behind his eyes when he went up to the ticket counter & said the words 'shrek for one please'

^^ ??

sexyDancer, you will have viewed Shrek within 3 years.

shrek sucks, moonship

I grew up in a "no TV" household, so I have ambitions of being a media-nazi parent.

i did too, and i wasted 5 years of my life working in film ....

yep, film major, 9 years in tv job.
still, I don't have to sit through "shrek" or the fuckin bernstein bears or even gaze into Tim Allen's slack face

my parents didn't let me own anything plastic till I was 3 and I'm using a MacBook right now...

cool movie talk dudez

Gone Baby Gone - ok
Intolerable Cruelty - bad
Together - great
American Friends - objectively awful but I really enjoyed it

Fishing w/ John - good
Yi Yi - fantastic
Mannequin (Borzage) - meh

Gone Baby Gone - confusing and not interesting enough to try and keep up

return of the living dead - on cable lol
vantage point - poop

the first Shrek was OK except strange anti-midget bias.

William Daniels in 1776 will always be John Adams to me, sorry... "I'm obnoxious and disliked, you know that, sir!"
