MOVIES!

Wild Things (lol)
Wild At Heart
Daredevil (rifftrax)

yeah, i was quite impressed with that editing. it surprised me how little samantha geimer appeared in the film, but then she was pretty much an afterthought throughout the entire disgusting circus.

a little goes a long way with her.

what was the deal w/ the film forum audience?

usually the people in line there remind me of the marshall mcluhan scene in annie hall.

My guess is that Morbs is complaining about young people laughing at everything. In my experience, Film Forum is usually crowded with old people complaining loudly. Also mice.

there's plenty to complain about (what my 30-YEAR-OLD friend calls "the smug Sorkin audience").

yeah, it's the laugh-at-every-edit crowd. Same clowns that clog up every Lynch screening.

Ah yes, the unavoidable swarms 20-something Aaron Sorkin fanboys. But yeah, those people are obnoxious and Film Forum is pretty bad. Luckily, there's rarely a reason to see anything new there.

it's always fair weather
the thief of bagdad (well, this is the template for fantasy action films all right)
incident at loch ness (like watching herzog in an episode of The Real World, a little uncomfortable & obvious, they get off some good laughs but ffwd'd through a lot of it)

tonight, DVDR of titicut follies - http://www.zipporah.com/films/22

Enjoy the forced feeding scene!

Anyway, I saw S*P*Y*S*. SO shit

Rosemary's Baby (homemaking lolz)

Get Smart (get stuffed)
Three Days of the Condor

As I've said on some other thread: I can't fucking stand sitting in the audience at Film Forum. I skipped the recent Godard retrospective just because I didn't want some mummy seated behind me cawing " What's happening here?! What is this ABOUT?!" every ten seconds. Or Mr. Laugh-Out-Loud_Because_I-"Get It" just chortling throughout.

omg i hate the people who have to chuckle because they're "in the know"!!

^^^ otm! ^^^

career opportunities

flight of the navigator

Mr. Laugh-Out-Loud_Because_I-"Get It" has sat all around me; the other, not so much.

Mr. David Lo Pan wishes these fools to be dropped into The Hell of Being Skinned Alive

but dudes sometimes movies are funny!

It's the laughing-at/laughing-with distinction

does it count if i laughed when julianne moore popped up as joan baez? cuz that was funny, but it was totally in an i-get-it way (if you didn't get it, it wasn't funny).

anyway all i really require of other people in the theater is for me not to notice them too much for any reason. anything that makes me notice them is bad.

reprise -- norwegian cinema eh? though this would be boring -- too "literary" -- but I liked.

really? I thought it was pretty crap

well I could certainly see people thinking it was too sentimental or self-conscious about the crazy guy

but I liked the way the guys partied & hung out w/their friends, that seemed credible. norwegian bros.

qft

King of Kong was freaking touching! I want to buy Wiebe a beer so bad.

I too was somewhat underwhelmed by Reprise's crisis-laden 20somethings, cute blond buzzcuts notwithstanding.

Soylent Green

apparently neckscarf is the height of 2022 fashion

also lols at future videogames looking like original Asteroids but in a molded white plastic case

The Silent Partner (1978) must have been discussed on here somewhere, due to ILX Elliott Gould love. It's really good! Lots of nice twists

Fox and His Friends -- Wow. I can't believe I put off seeing all these Fassbinders for so long.

Just Friends - not so bad w/ plenty of merlot-in-a-box

10 hours on a train today:

Tootsie
Ronin
Threads (Yaow. Ruined my day.)

'never too young to die' starring john stamos, gene simmons, and vanity

The Pursuit of Happyness. Y'know, I'm as annoyed by the film as Will Smith's character with the letter Y. What a crock of shit.

Running Scared with Paul - I'm a pretty prat and I know it - Walker. Well, just the first ten minutes cause I didn't want to sit through that shit again.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - much hard one @ naked Marisa Tormei, movie was pretty weak overall though.

Citizen Kane - omg guys ROSEBUD was his SLED!

I'd never seen it before - it was touching and Orson Wells was very charming in it.

River of Grass
Privilege (Rainer) - Truly awful. Condescending, boring, and stupidly structured.
Careful - Really liked this, maybe more than any of the other Maddins I've seen.

Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion <-- guess this was a big inspiration for Kill Bill (didn't see it); lots of ( . )( . ) ; any idea who did sntrk?
