MOVIES!

NETFLIX POLL: what should i watch tonight

assassination of jesse james
foreign correspondent (hitchcock)
OR who's afraid of virginia woolf

never seen any of em

assassination looks very boring
i finally watched apocalypto despite jewhater mel. Decent but steals from so many other movies, no idea why it got "praise".

Va Woolf is a great play on film, ForeignC excellent lightweight Hitchcock.

yay drunken method acting

"Sunset Boulevard", so good, twisted, sad & funny at the same time. Hard to see how they could have made it any better, really.

watched Foreign Correspondent

(***** mild spoilerz ****** )

that plane crash scene was harrowing!! really changed the tone at the end (on some hey America better get in the war sloganeering)

********

Assassination is pretty great. Long, though.

Just watched:

Street Of Shame
The Fall
Blaise Pascal
Age Of The Medici Part 1

quite a few 1940-41 films feature hey America better get in the war sloganeering

the namesake
little deiter needs to fly
after life (koreeda) - didn't finish
wall-e
still life
boogie nights

Waltz With Bashir was good ... true that it's more of a memoir than a documentary, and I liked that the animation downplayed the solipsism / narcissism that can dominate that kind of a "personal journey" movie ... the little surreal dream parts were great

pineapple express - not good
above the rim - chee-zee

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai de Commerce 1080 Bruxelles
Timecrimes
Fanboys
Inkheart

So you finally watched the Akermann Dr Morbius, did you like it?

As for me I watched 'The Reader'. Kill me now, etc. But I saved myself when I caught a screening of Wavelength, both on 16mm and the DVD 17 min 'cut' of it. The panel discussion in between was mixed: real neglect of what Snow's relationship w/sound brings to that film but a member of the audience asked about it...

after life (koreeda) - didn't finish: Oh didn't you like it? One of last year's underrated DVD releases...

morbz that is a truly weird playlist

god how bad was inkheart tho rite

after life (koreeda) - didn't finish: Oh didn't you like it? One of last year's underrated DVD releases...

i wasn't in the right mood for such a slow pace i guess, i kept getting distracted. i really liked nobody knows and maborosi though so i'll give this another shot sometime.

The Reader
Che (part 1)
Parenthood

Harlan County USA

yeah, on a Lang kick at the moment
Man Hunt (awesome)
Secret Beyond The Door (not so awesome)
You Only Live Once (wow. and young Sylvia Sidney = What a cutie.)
Ganja And Hess (unable to finish. Is this a mess or is it brilliant and I'm just an idiot?)

The Thin Man (awesome)
Save the Green Planet! (also awesome xcept 4 the ~hr of torture porn in the middle...<3 what was supposedly writer/director's inspiration = partially inspired by an anti-Leonardo DiCaprio Web site that claims the "Titanic" star is an alien who is seducing all of Earth's women in a bid for global conquest. Equally inspired by the popular movie version of Stephen King's "Misery,")

All or Nothing
Appaloosa
Zorro: The Gay Blade

was I missing something or was appaloosa really awful? I feel like it is the worst film I have seen in a long time.

I'll let you know: it's sitting on my DVD player.

yes mark, it was Stinkheart.

"finally," xyzz? I think you're confusing me with Casuistry -- this is at least my 2nd viewing of Jeanne Dielman.

saw the louise bourgeois movie last night it was good

Free screening of "Hail the Conquering Hero" (1944) tonight. Do I bother y/n?

Free Sturges? Yeah, go see it. And it's a fun one.

will do

who's afraid of virginia woolf? was a lot crazier than I expected, wow

did you have a drink of BERGEN after?

King: A Filmed Record...Montgomery to Memphis
Memories of Underdevelopment
Made in USA
Terence Davies trilogy
Mary (Ferrara, echhh)
Mala Noche
Up the Yangtze
Mr. Mike's Mondo Video
IOUSA
Stranded (Andean plane crash doc)
Dear Zachary (horrific story and aesthetics to match)
The Dark Knight :p
Coraline

no but I got off at the bergen st. stop every day so it's hard not to think of that now. to the point that it's sort of annoying.

Been wanting to see 'maborosi' for ages and ages :-(

"finally," xyzz? I think you're confusing me with Casuistry -- this is at least my 2nd viewing of Jeanne Dielman.

Oops I thought you said something about 'spoiling the ending' in some other thread.

Cloak And Dagger
Sign O' The Times
The Bridesmaid
Little Rascals vol 1 ( this new collection is <3 <3 )

jesse james was v good, not sure how I felt about all the voiceover though. at times it worked I guess, other times it seemed like it was a voice from a totally different movie

that director kinda came out of nowhere huh? never heard of him, I looked him up on imdb and all he's done is "Chopper" w/ Eric Bana eight years ago

train robbery scene at the beginning was awesome ... those elephant man looking masks and the guy jumps up on the barrier in a swirl of trainsmoke

macunaima <---- awesome

have you been here?

lotsa old culty stuff, kinda low res but where else are you going to find a copy of when you comin' back, red ryder?

lol this site. i'm downloading "j.c."
(1972) 99 minutes
Jesus Christ is born again on Earth. But his father is a hardcore Southern Baptist, and during his teen years, Jesus rebels, joining a biker gang and leading an LSD-fueled pilgrimage to "the West" to fight "the establishment."

The Stewardesses
Mary Poppins
Bolt
Oliver and Company
24 City
Collateral
all but one of the Oscar-nominated animated shorts

the v/o in Assass of Jesse James seems like Books on Tape. (stole that from somebody)

man Eric, your take on Poppins makes a Catherine Breillat remake sound superfluous. Did you see 24 City on a big screen? I thought the HD image was amazing.

When Tomorrow Comes
Up the Down Staircase
Heartbeat Detector
Easy Living
Black Is... Black Ain't
To Kill a Mockingbird

blanche

Which was it?

Did you see 24 City on a big screen? I thought the HD image was amazing.

Yes I did. Yes it was.

Do not watch Taken. It's a piece of shit. I thought a movie with an 8 on imdb must have some redeeming value but it doesn't at all.

hungry - :(
we jam econo - :)

the best part about we jam econo is either the drummers hair in the acoustic show or when they were all "I'm gonna play with my strings tight today!"

why am i crazy
