yes, art SHOULDN'T be real life.

You're like the Geir of film opinion these days.

"these days"

The Wind That Shakes The Barley - mixed feelings. Well-done, but not particularly effective as a piece of storytelling (the train driver was the only character with any dimension really, the brothers/civil war plot is as old as time itself, the love plot was whatever). It's nice that Loach wants to lecture us on Irish socialism (bravo) but there was no real heart to the movie.

If it takes you 3 days to see TNW, you haven't seen it.

i would've watched it all at once but it kept exceeding my daily recommended dosage of poncy nature-poet balderdash. (i did make it through thin red line in one go, but w/gritted teeth. malick's an airhead.)

― tipsy mothra, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

anyway last night i watched sonatine, which was great.

milo and Armond White both off-the-money on The Wind That Shakes The Barley

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

I love the accusation that films that turn on ideology are too "didactic," that the characters aren't "real." Have any of these critics known any politically engaged people?

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

Vamp (as bad as it looks)
Carnosaur (awesome)

― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Monkey Business (Marx Bros, not Cary Grant)

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

i need to watch Carnosaur again

― latebloomer, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

based on armond white's writing lately, i don't want to know which sort of politically engaged people he's been hanging out with.

― rps, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know what White said, but there are moments when Loach's politics intrude (the abbreviated dig at Catholic complicity with the capitalists) and times when they feel native (Dan and Damien talk about seeing James Connolly speak).

Damien, at least, is too blank to engender much feeling as a character - partially this is just the scope that Loach went with, a dozen 'main' characters usually shot in large groups with little time to develop as individuals. Can't really say that's a fault of the movie, just a deliberate choice.

― milo z, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

the Jonestown American Experience documentary was amazing.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

damn I wanted to see that.

― m coleman, Thursday, 12 April 2007 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

how does the wind that shakes have no "heart"?? (sorry but that's my least favourite criticism ever). because it's naturalistic and doesn't shove the human drama down your throat? that's why it's so good!

― s1ocki, Thursday, 12 April 2007 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

Armond sees every film as a "US out of Iraq" screed these days. I've never said he hasn't gone sorta nuts.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 April 2007 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

Payback: Straight Up - director's cut. Looks very '70s now, bleaker in parts, less comic relief, but the comic parts don't fit as well now. No better or worse than the theatrical (which is pretty good)

― milo z, Sunday, 15 April 2007 05:46 (nineteen years ago)

slocki totally otm

― 冷明, Sunday, 15 April 2007 07:16 (nineteen years ago)

the good shepherd -- tedious & confusing and I LIKE spy movies. wtf @ angie jolie as WASP wife named margaret

― m coleman, Sunday, 15 April 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

v for vendetta - maybe victim of low expectations since I disliked all the matrix films but I dug it. even without viewing it through a post-9/11 lens I think it works.

― Edward III, Sunday, 15 April 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

TWTSTB isn't really naturalistic, there are a ton of digressions that exist just to get a political point across. It had little (or no) heart because the human drama didn't feel like human drama. It felt like political drama given a human facade (which is fine but rather different).

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, yeah, quite a bit more than either version of Payback.

anyone else seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? some of the dialogue was unbelievably bad and robert downey jr's character narrating was almost unbearable. its too bad because it easily could have been a decent, entertaining movie.

Bill Plympton's I Married A Strange Person. So incredibly fucking funny.

― nickalicious, Friday, 20 April 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

things learned about the movie groundhog day from director harold ramis while watching groundhog day with the director's commentary on:

# The man who wrote the original screenplay was a Buddhist.
# The movie was filmed in Illinois not Pennsylvania.
# Director's commentaries are pretty boring and turning them off after 10 minutes is the way to go.

Oh last night I saw Tsang Ming-Liang's "I Don't Want To Sleep Alone". I enjoyed it probably because I gave it the patience I never accorded the other things of his I've seen. Best use of architecture I have seen in a film for some time, also.
