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.

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.

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.

― David R., Friday, 23 February 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

</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.

35 up
half nelson

― dmr, Sunday, 25 February 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

35 up is hella depressing, i think the most of all of them (?)

― remy bean, Sunday, 25 February 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

lol we live the same people

― gbx, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

with. we live with the same people

― gbx, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

larry the cable douche is coming to my town's enormorena soon.

so psyched.

― latebloomer, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:22 (nineteen years ago)

parts of 35 were a downer but some of the stuff in 28 seemed worse

just saw taste of tea, it's really good

― dmr, Monday, 26 February 2007 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

RENO 9/11: MIAMI - This movie was fucking funny! It took awhile to get used to some of the more oh-so-we're-allowed-to-do-THIS-with-an-R-rating-ness, but, shit, exploding whales and "tight tit tatt"s!

― nickalicious, Monday, 26 February 2007 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

just saw taste of tea, it's really good

YA

― s1ocki, Monday, 26 February 2007 06:17 (nineteen years ago)

Ten Skies (James Benning)
Children of Men (again -- fuck the Oscars)

I'm eager to see Taste of Tea!

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's only playing in nyc through next weekend

― dmr, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

I've never been to ImaginAsian either

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

yeah me neither until yesterday

it's not bad

correction: this thursday is the last day

― dmr, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

yeah whats that place like?

― jh0shea, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

RENO 9/11: MIAMI

we ran into 3 or 4 or these guys on the way to their premiere. sar@h gave them all jumping high fives.

― sleep, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

xpost - the lobby feels more like a conference room / office but the theater is okay. they just have one screen, a pretty big room, not some ridiculous tiny corridor like angelika or film forum. seats seem kinda old but decent enough ... i'd go back.

― dmr, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

i rly wanna see taste of tea and i live like 4 blocks from imaginasian but i can't see it by thursday argh. (do they sell sushi or kim chee or anything at the food stand? i've never been in there either.)

― tipsy mothra, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 06:40 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't notice! we got there late and had to run right in, the previews were already on.

tonight I watched a documentary on Stan Brakhage made for Canadian tv

didn't know much about him going in, it was surprising how varied his films were over the years

― dmr, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 07:20 (nineteen years ago)

The Believer (R Gosling's breakout as a Jewish Nazi youth in contemporary NYC)

The Taste of Tea got some great reviews, I gotta hope it'll show up somewhere else.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

i've been hoping it'd get some sort of release for a couple years now

― s1ocki, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

I'm an idiot, becuase I've sorta been conflating / confusing Brad Renfro w/ RG, & The Believer w/ Apt Pupil.

― David R., Wednesday, 28 February 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Has anyone seen Rhinestone and is it as awesome as I think it might be?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePivPcSXXLs

Dolly Parton and Sly: awesome.

― Capn Guthrie, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

see above
