Desk Set, cute but doesn't hold up so well.

Tears of the Black Tiger not on Nflix.

Black Christmas

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?

Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

tears of the black tiger is playing at the film forum.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

i just saw BLACK SNAKE MOAN

despite a movie featuring a half-naked christina ricci being led around on a chain for an hour being seemingly target marketed directly to me, it was...not good.

the machinist (ehh)
season 1 of huff (yay)
season 2 of huff (um)

indian rope trick (bean), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Ha - saw THE MACHINIST, too. Up until the last half-hour, the movie was solid - the reveal, tho, was meh. Spent the first 30 minutes thinking to myself, "HOLY FUCK CHRISTIAN!"

I heard otherwise!

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

well you heard wrong.

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

director dude's pathology is...something.

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

The trailer makes it look like it could fit in with the Tarantino and Rodriguez sections of GrindHouse, but I don't think that was the original plan.

milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

xpost

though perhaps i'm reading too much into a white dude's first movie being about a black pimp's salvation and his second being about a black bluesman's salvation through leading a young white nymphette around on a motherfuckin 40 foot chain

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Zardoz,

WTF kind of movie do you think you are? Whatever kind it is, I love you.

Yr pal,

I think there was just a glut of disco-ear films that came out at about the same time. 54 was the same summer as The Last Days of Disco.

Alpha Dog - I have a newfound appreciation for Larry Clark

Dear Domino,

O RLY?

Best,
Ally

Man on Fire > Domino > Deja Vu

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:36 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't seen Deja Vu yet. I should definitely netflix it, from that description.

AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:52 (nineteen years ago)

I really liked Domino, though.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:57 (nineteen years ago)

V For Vendetta (it's been a long time since I read the comic, but I seem to recall there being a little more to it than "Ned Raggett in Batman Vs. The RepulicaNazis")

Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:04 (nineteen years ago)

i hated v for vendetta (the movie not the comic book)

latebloomer needs to be less crappy (latebloomer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:32 (nineteen years ago)

children of men is the movie vfv wished it could be (as far as bitain-set dystopian sf movies go!)

latebloomer needs to be less crappy (latebloomer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:33 (nineteen years ago)

britain-set*

latebloomer needs to be less crappy (latebloomer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:44 (nineteen years ago)

i couldn't watch 'v for vendetta' -- it was so hackneyed and self-serious yet loaded with lame violence, had to leave after twenty-five minutes. all the former dungeons and dragons lovers in our aisle couldn't believe we were leaving...

x-p: likewise, the lame animation of darger's work in that movie about him made me unable to watch that thing! and i can usually watch, like, anything, really.

time to put zardoz in my "queue."

Michael J McGonigal (mike mcgonigal), Thursday, 18 January 2007 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

zardoz is pretty incredible

latebloomer needs to be less crappy (latebloomer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

whatever happened to lsd ;(

PRKLTR (flezaffe), Thursday, 18 January 2007 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

I think there was just a glut of disco-ear films

And you had to have a disco ear to watch em! I liked the Whit Stillman one, as disco was quite peripheral. (also, isn't it a mid-80s setting, ie not the classic Disco Era?)

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 January 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

i love last days of disco. i'm a big fan. my brother-in-law edited that movie! he might do whit's next one too.


i love zardoz too. even though it would be nice to have it on dvd, i broke down and bought a copy on vhs at the thrift store a couple weeks ago. i hadn't seen it since i was an acid-crazed teen.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 18 January 2007 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

devo music video compilation on vhs

elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

pan's labyrinth. pretty great! unexpectedly dark and violent.

trans pacific donkey cell phone (sleep), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

V for Vendetta is kind of bad in parts but I didn't think it was terrible. The cell scenes and the ending were well done.

AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

I probably shouldn't mention, for fear of appraisal, that I saw Blade Runner for the first time the other day and thought it was kinda meh.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

jaymc, why you break heart?? ;_;

elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

i'm banning you from life.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 18 January 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

get out and don't come back until you are a human boy.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

It made me think a lot about the 1982 vision of the future vs. the 2007 vision of the future, and there was some visually stunning sequences, but it wasn't as philosophically compelling as I'd been led to believe, and eventually it just devolved into an action movie (like just die already, Rutger Hauer).

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

okay, you can stop now.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

It's simply a very good, bleak action movie to everyone but teens and nerds.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

^^^^^^^^^^ OTM X 100 ^^^^^^^^^^^

AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

Rutger Hauer is very close to unwatchable – a large reason why I can't stand it.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

^^^^^^^^^^ NOT OTM X 100 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Though "Just Die Already, Rutger Hauer" would be a good title for many movies he has been in.

AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

I did like the creepazoid sexual tension between him and Daryl Hannah-as-Ziggy Stardust.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

but do you even like action movies in the first place??

rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:22 (nineteen years ago)

No. I thought it was supposed to be a smart sci-fi movie.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you were right that you shouldn't have brought it up if you think "action movie" and "smart sci-fi" are two separate things.

AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think they're mutually exclusive, I just mean I probably wasn't aware of the degree to which it was ALSO an action movie, oftentimes at the EXPENSE of all else.
