MOVIES!

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

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!"

Blissfully Yours
Boys Don't Cry
Japan Japan
Stop-Loss
Hot Fuzz
Leatherheads

Is Leatherheads any good?

I mean, I figure if its good enough for you then I will probably shit my pants over it.

I'm going tonight, sorry

John Adams: Why is the camera always all slanty and waaaay too close to the actors? Is the DP invoking Battlefield Earth as a visual influence??

Other I love it, esp. Laura Linney!!

"Bare Knees" (1928) a jazz-era exploitation film, with a wild flapper girl showing up at the house of her straight-laced sister and causing all kinds of trouble. I was o_O from beginning to end, I've never seen anything like it in my life before. Great.

2 Norma Talmadge vehicles from 1916 - "Going Straight" and "Children in the House", both pretty bad - crudely edited and acted, a bit corny.

Zelig - a little disappointing but fun while I ate dinner

Zelig is awesome! "I hate your pancakes!"

Zelig is pretty great, yeah.

The flapper girl from "Bare Knees":

Intolerable Cruelty - bad

For this RONGness, you are sentenced to watch Leatherheads

La Vie En Rose -- wow this gets weird toward the end. I liked it

almost walked out of Intolerable Cruelty when I saw it at the theater
