An Unreasonable Man
Old Joy

(looks like I'm not getting to The Pied Piper after all)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 February 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

nader on the daily show last night = 1 strange dude.

he was on pimping a book abt his family values.

if my mom had raised little gorgie bush he would smile more uh yet you seem completely incapable of enjoying yrself.

i think he has the assburgers

NEED MORE STRANGE DUDES

Nader is apparently a big Tammy Wynette fan; his public image as somber warrior was quite carefully maintained when he was terrorizing Congress and corporations in his '69-76 heyday (also, hewould come back from hearings and play all the parts for his staff)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 February 2007 20:34 (nineteen years ago)

dont get me wrong he did great work - but he seems totally fucked now.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

uh anyway i'll have to see that unreasonable man - what's you think?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

It's good if pretty conventionally made. The last major bio of RN (2002) is more informative, obv.

"totally fucked" is what Eric Alterman and Todd Gitlin should be

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

btw check the Shaw quote the title comes from

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

i dont know who they are and even after googling i'm not sure what yr getting at - do they hate ralph or something?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

yes. RN's "insane," "a megalomaniac," etc.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 February 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

he does seem a little crazy and writing a book abt the rules that you were raised by might be symptomatic of megalomania.

Stage Door
-- Eric H.

Your thoughts on this crypto-screwball film, Eric?

Mine:

The Verdict
Pet Shop Boys: Pop Art
Reflections in a Golden Eye (that's Brando's pretty good you know; that Liz Taylor is quite amusing you probably didn't).

Hardly a man in site. Ergo, not screwball. Also, ergo, hysterically funny -- especially the last 10 minutes.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 8 February 2007 22:37 (nineteen years ago)

saw the rerelease of mafioso -- good! rly good.

Eve Arden's imitation/parody of Katherine Hepburn ("Oh yes, it's TERRIBLY silly to go without food") makes me chuckle every time.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 8 February 2007 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

andromeda strain
gonna see mafioso tomorrow I think

― dmr (Renard), Friday, 9 February 2007 06:06 (nineteen years ago)

no jhoshea, ppl who still blame Nader for Dubya are the crazies.

I guess we're only allowed to talk about 'butch' stuff on this thread, so more manga and anime pls.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 February 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

nader and the nader haters can both be crazy morbs

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Friday, 9 February 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

Brick (has anyone seen this AND Bugsy Malone? Which is better?)

― Zwan (miccio), Saturday, 10 February 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

brick sucks. bugsy is classique.

― chaki (chaki), Saturday, 10 February 2007 22:41 (nineteen years ago)

This unveil coincides with IMDB screwing up their page.

― Eric H., Thursday, 22 February 2007 04:50 (nineteen years ago)

nu-imdb seems ok

― s1ocki, Thursday, 22 February 2007 05:35 (nineteen years ago)

its the first major layout change in ten years, no?

anyway, i saw The Yakuza, which was a lot sillier than i remembered.

― fies, Thursday, 22 February 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

no, nu-IMDB is too 'stylish,' it needs to be fucking utilitarian.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 22 February 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

i used it for "utilitarian" purposes at my job about 10 times yesterday and it was fine!

― s1ocki, Thursday, 22 February 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

fischli and weiss films tonight (at anthology) in rather excited, ill tell you

― bb, Thursday, 22 February 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

It's sort of Wikipedia-ized. I like parts and dislike parts.

Really, though, my only big complaint with IMDB isn't any new development -- I hate that they replace poster art with DVD box covers.

― Eric H., Friday, 23 February 2007 04:40 (nineteen years ago)

yes that is lame.

― s1ocki, Friday, 23 February 2007 06:59 (nineteen years ago)

wow, i actually went the longest span of my entire adult life without seeing a movie: 5.5 weeks. i broke it with 'affliction' and 'gold diggers of '35' tonight, which was krad. admittedly, i've been watching keelloads of ass-tv.

― remy bean, Friday, 23 February 2007 07:18 (nineteen years ago)

fischli and weiss made me very very happy...if this stuff screens anywhere mildly near you, GO!

― bb, Friday, 23 February 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

we jam econo - luvd it! (although this probably has something to do w/my utter affection or the band)

― jh0shea, Friday, 23 February 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

If Curse of the Golden Flower screens anywhere mildly near you, GO! Much closer to Shakespeare (with visual dazzle more than macho tartness) than The D*p*rted. Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li in supercharged star mode. And incest! Also fight stuff and CGI use I hadn't seen before.

Lights in the Dusk, below-avg Kaurismaki

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 23 February 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

...Golden Flower is playing at 2 different theaters here! I might go this weekend.

My roommate keeps trying to get me to watch Layer Cake, he says it's "the best movie ever made". I don't know, this same guy actually walked to Blockbuster to rent the Larry the Cable Guy movie.

― nickalicious, Friday, 23 February 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Layer Cake is a fun little gangster romp, but it's the acting & the panache more than the story that keeps that sucker going.

Curse of the Golden Flower was kinda meh, in my estimation - gorgeous as hell, the last half hour is SPECTACULAR, well done & all that, but it left me kinda meh. And the song @ the end didn't help. Hero (or House of Flying Daggers) is more my speed.

</Roeper>

― David R., Friday, 23 February 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it utterly trumped those 2 other Zhangs! and you folx have gotta get over corny Chinese pop hits over end credits; it can't all be edgy techno.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

How about tasteful orchestral swoops? Or that guy w/ the gong doing his thing?

It wasn't so much the music as the LYRICS (which, thanx to subtitles, I was able to "enjoy"). And the fact that the switch from period-piece ambience to poptones reminded me of the way Dynasty Warriors II through XVII (one of them there video games kids play) end.

― David R., Friday, 23 February 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

btw I believe the singer was the smokin' hot warrior son.

I could cry at the lack of attention this got compared to Crouching Bullshit.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

Kinda think you are there, chief.

― David R., Friday, 23 February 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Either Hero or House of Flying Daggers blew. Don't know which one it was.

― milo z, Saturday, 24 February 2007 07:10 (nineteen years ago)

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - okay enough, I guess. All gangster/revenge flicks suffer in comparison to Point Blank.

― milo z, Saturday, 24 February 2007 07:13 (nineteen years ago)

It was Daggers that blew.

― Eric H., Saturday, 24 February 2007 09:40 (nineteen years ago)

The Wedding Director (Bellocchio, not so hot)
Terminal Station/ Indiscretions of an American Wife (achy breaky Monty)

― Dr Morbius, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

The Prestige - Wolverine whining about "never knowing if he'd be the man in the box or the prestige" still doesn't make any sense.
