Okay I am officially obsessed with Vin Diesel today. Maybe I will rent The Pacifier on my way home.

I'd like to think the other two Riddick scripts are sitting, still locked, somewhere in the offices at Universal at the bottom of a big pile. Someone should try to rescue them!

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 1 February 2007 16:24 (nineteen years ago)

clearly none of you want Vin to stretch a la Find Me Guilty.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 1 February 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

I don't want anyone to stretch a la Find Me Guilty

I remember liking his performance in Boiler Room, though.

Rock 'n Roll High School.

Not as fun as I remembered.

A Dirty Shame

Meh. It was definitely John Waters, but he kinda got all "MY POKEMANS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM" with a wide array of sexual fetishes & subcultures, but the overall movie was pretty sex-positive and fun.

Patti Hearst as a recovering froteuse was pretty good, tho.

i used to date a girl who was like two parts riff randle and two parts jenna jameson and 8 parts bat shit crazy.

he should combine all 3 into one Vintastic Extravaganza!

-- Zwan (anthonyisrigh...), February 1st, 2007.

perhaps...Vin Diesel?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

i think he'd be totally capable of meta-adventure and meta-ass-kicking

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

i loved chronicles of riddick! the goth metal bad guys were so cool.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

and i loved the hot planet that got very hot and the hot hole in the ground prison!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

'seraphim falls' - hey this was good! a little obvious in places, i guess, but it's a western in the classic vein, sans revisionism and with a pretty solid cast (liam neeson, pierce brosnan, michael wincott, tom noonan, angie harmon, wes studi, angelica huston). it sort of loses the plot a little near the end, but it's better than i expected.

Notes on a Scandal

I could never handle being a lesbian.

Black Narcissus (started boring, got fun, totally ridiculous)
Hard Candy (started fun, got boring, totally ridiculous)

― Zwan (miccio), Friday, 2 February 2007 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

Hard Candy was really really good up through the, um, balls scene (trying not to be too spoilery). I still enjoyed the rest, but it sort've climaxed too soon

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Friday, 2 February 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

I don't even know what the term for it is, but I really hate that kind of digital shakycam they use in Hard Candy and the remake of The Hills Have Eyes.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 3 February 2007 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

School For Scoundrels (I miss the wrinkles in Billy Bob's forehead and do not understand why Jon Heder exists)
Eddie Murphy: Delirious (it's being released on DVD this Tuesday in honor of Isaiah Washington)

― Zwan (miccio), Sunday, 4 February 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

orson welles f is for fake is about to be viewed by me for the third time this week...

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 4 February 2007 13:52 (nineteen years ago)

Graveyard of Honor. Fukasaku's original makes Miiike's remake seem like rational, well-mannered filmmaking.

Fave scene: an army of unarmed cops and mobsters are outside Ishikawa's hideout, he starts shooting them randomly and they respond with a hail of rocks while Ishikawa's drug buddy reels around the room screaming "WE'RE OUT OF FUCKING DOPE!" Classic.

Flags Of Our Fathers (repetitious and overlong, but I liked it overall)
Pulse ("We have to get out of the Wifi!!!", Brad Dourif cameo 50 minutes in)

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 5 February 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

bodie was in oz?!

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 5 February 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Sex and Lucia (softcore porn ---> weird, writer-goes-crazy bullshit. totally cheezball, and chockablock with WTF moments)

Good Morning, Vietnam (heh. also a bit cheezball, but brought back memories of cranking the soundtrack when i was a little kid)

― grbchv! (skowly), Monday, 5 February 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

tazza: the high rollers looks good. it's only playing at the imaginasian, though. inconvenient location vs really fun snacks. hmm.

the descent

― dmr (Renard), Monday, 5 February 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

how many walkouts, Eric?

gyps, I liked Waking Life in '01 and still do. People who complained it was like an undergraduate philosophy bull session kinda missed the point, ie, yeah it is but the net's a bit wider. And the visuals keep the dialogue from becoming deadly (except for fucking Speed Levitch).

yeah. sidenote, the prof who gives the spiel on existentialism vs. postmodernism just died.

"Rescreened" Conversations with Other Women the other night. Fascinating to watch a second time, once you know the nature of the relationship.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 5 February 2007 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

said professor was even better in Slacker: "someday I want to pull a Guy Fawkes on it, blow them all sky high"

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

oops got my UT professors mixed up. Mackey (old anarchist) wasn't the professor in Waking Life

bodie was in oz?!
Yeah, he shows up in episode 2 or 3, 16-year old murderer who falls in with Adebisi & Co..

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

david bowie in the prestige rofl

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 04:39 (nineteen years ago)

Adaptation (Chris Cooper aside, meh)

― Zwan (miccio), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 05:09 (nineteen years ago)

did anyone think the prestige was fucked up and wonderful?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 05:16 (nineteen years ago)

yes, no

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 05:56 (nineteen years ago)

how many walkouts, Eric?

Actually, only two that I can remember. A few more of the audience of roughly 50 took off during one of the two intermissions, but I can't call them walkouts necessarily since they were offering to let people break up the screening over two days.

Less walkouts than there were during A Grin without a Cat and (especially) La Commune.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

Or, for that matter, Mysterious Object At Noon, which I think still stands as something of a landmark in walkouts. Granted, the film started with only about 20 people in the auditorium, but I was one of only three or four left at the end. And that was only because I fell asleep a few times.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 08:16 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, wait. I almost forgot about the throngs rushing to the exits during Kubelka.

And Femme Fatale, which lost well over half its audience during the film.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 08:17 (nineteen years ago)

Stupidest walkout of all time: two dudes who left The Passenger about a minute or two before the final shot.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 08:18 (nineteen years ago)

And Femme Fatale, which lost well over half its audience during the film.

Fools! (and what is kubelka?)
