Enter The Void by Gaspar Noé

when I'm not on my phone I'll link to my interview

I mean, I haven't seen this, but I have to bet that it out-DePalmas DePalma by 100000%. Would love to see Gaspar's Body Double.

I think I've been exposed to enough over-the-top violence of all stripes over the last three years (new wave of French horror, Ex-Drummer, A Serbian Film etc.)that I am pretty much, if not totally desensitized, at least far less likely to be viscerally upset by movie violence. It's more the tireless misanthropy/juvenalia that worries me, something that's def in evidence in I Stand Alone, which I'm currently halfway through.

Noé do i wanna see this

Are Noé and Houllebecq seen as two birds of a feather in France?

Nicely done!

Kinda confirms a few things I already had a suspicion about based on watching I Stand Alone.

that he smells bad?

did i put that in haha

that was actually a hard one to do, what a bad interview i had with him.

i mean, he was very grunty and non-responsive.

It was about the level of discourse I was expecting I guess? Like his insight that De La Huerta "probably cries a lot."

haha that's my favourite quote

forgot how bad the acting is in this. kinda doesnt matter that much tho

Saw it Monday morning. How often is a movie TWO HOURS too long?

Homophobia/sexism in tow in spades, philosophically/spiritually retarded, occasionally beautiful/touching but mostly FUCKING BORING.

Mostly sexism, I should say. This shit ain't got nothin' on Irreversible in that respect.

Btwn this and Limits of Control Paz de la Huerta seems to have a personal mission to show up in the most self-indulgent bullshit ever.

bleurrrgh saw this last night. felt completely abused by the end of it. audible sigh of relief from the whole cinema when it finally fucking finished

Btwn this and Limits of Control Paz de la Huerta seems to have a personal mission to show up in the most self-indulgent bullshit ever.

I read this as Limits of Control Paz de la Huerta.

the opening credits (as posted above) are the best part iirc!

i interviewed him the day after and he was incredibly hungover and stinky and paz de la huerta kept calling him and asking for aspirin

^awesome!!!

Loved this movie, despite its faults. Kind of weird that I watched it the same week I started planning my first trip to Tokyo. (no pun intended).

lol

nice writeup, too, s1ocks.

thanks gr8z

I wd like to engage this movie, but aint payin $12

i mean five stars, A+++ and all, but i don't think i'll ever want to put myself through seeing it again

Whiney, plz try to live yr life in a serious way.

scathing

whiney please try to life your life in a way that involves grumbling about paying $12 to see a movie

Hey Norns it costs way more than $12 to go see the Mets lose, just think abt it that way.

MORBS*

pwned by iPhone auto correct.

lol Norns

i have no idea what Morbs is trying to say?

imo he's saying he wants to see this movie that he already knows he hates but he doesn't want to pay $12 to see it.

he's also saying you can't be srs when you call it movie of the year and then declare watching it an exhausting exercise you wish not to repeat in the same breath. maybe if he paid $12 he would know wtf you're talking about.

also: this never made it in theaters here so I had to watch it on my laptop. >:-(

I wd like to engage Norns, but aint payin $0

It was a visceral, emotional grueling experience for a lot of reasons (the flickering lights in a dark theater; all the huge scares of the repeated car crashes; the sheer length of the fucking thing). I'm glad I did it but wouldn't want to subject myself to all that shit again. Why is that a contentious position to take. Like I think Schindler's List is a great movie too but I don't want to snack on a Twizzler and watch the DVD before I go to bed

gr80 gets me, the poor fella.

also Schindler's List is a pretty easy-to-take Holocaust movie. (J Hoberman and others damned it for being so)

Would love to see J. Ho on Salon Kitty.

(Except there's really no Holocaust to speak of in that one.)

Morbs I may get you but I get Whiney too.

I'm actually looking forward to watching it a few more times myself.

schindlers list goes down easy like soda pop

Noé do i wanna see this
--kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius)

^still loling at

Going to see this tonight, perhaps. Is it good?

yes. its long tho.

Does the phrase "the most excruciating sit in recent cinematic memory" apply to this film? How so?

oh yeah

1. Super long
2. Flickering strobey bullshit in a dark theater
3. Lots o gore and shock
4. Lots of surprises
5. Bummerz galore

adam you should know that Whiney called it "film of the year" too

I know. Sounds good, except for the gore/shock, which I dont care for in moviez.

its not very goreshocky
