I started watching "Trash" but was not prepared for the seemingly interminable shots of Dallesandro's flaccid dong. It is amazing I can watch this shit on my 360 though.

92 In The Shade (never on DVD, oop on VHS since the 80s) is up!

The surreal Hungarian film Taxidermia is recommended for fans of the grotesque. Something like Jeunet & Caro doing body-horror, or conversely Cronenberg played for laughs.

so like eXistenZ?

In parts Taxidermia has the clinical eye of Shivers or Videodrome, but there's a bit of "Middle Age" from Monty Python's Meaning of Life in there too.

I watched Genius Club, and it is definitely my favorite so-bad-its movie in quite awhile. Highly recommended to fellow trashophiles.

Exam was :-/ ugh, don't get me started.

Watched the Mad Max trilogy. I'd rank them in chrono order, however Tina T. is freaking hot in MMBT, dayumn.

Just watched Straight Time - entertaining, gritty 70's heist flick. Awesome cast - Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, M. Emmet Walsh, and Kathy Bates.

scott seward, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link

queued up both of those recently

ice cr?m, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link

Paycheck is a c-grade Bourne/Inception-esque Affleck/Uma vehicle... Uma has never looked worse.

Bottle Shock was not horrible. Rickman is awesome.

i love you but i have chosen snarkness (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link

new mitchell and webb... and what is pulling and men behaving badly?
UK types? anybody know?

الله basedأكبر (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link

paycheck is ott ridic woo/dick fiasco, i will watch basically any movie in the convoluted paranoid dystopian scifi sphere

ice cr?m, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link

yes, Minority Report meets Bourne meets Inception but really awful version thereof.

i love you but i have chosen snarkness (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link

haha yes it is so bad

ice cr?m, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link

not seen pulling but Men behaving badly is a pretty awful Bloke sitcom.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link

Been catching up on Saxondale. As an American who's met loads of Anglophiles, it's especially amusing that he's an Americanphile (is there a word for it?), with the Mach 1 'Stang and "U.S.A." t-shirts and all.

UHF is streaming, so that's always a good time.

andrew m., Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Saxondale is fucking awesome

الله basedأكبر (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Recommendation for geeky romantics:

Thomas in Love (2001). Belgian sci-fi about an agoraphobe seeking love on-line, presented entirely from his screen.

The End is Nigher (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link

does Saxondale look terrible for anybody else? I watched about ten minutes of it - almost seemed like it was going to be a British Eastbound & Down or something. I can't get past the poor quality, though.

rockapads, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link

plays fine for me.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link

watched 'last embrace' dir. jonathan demme - apes hitchcock in abt a dozen diff ways, is still decent - roy scheiders a pretty captivating leading man

"Just watched Straight Time - entertaining, gritty 70's heist flick. Awesome cast - Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, M. Emmet Walsh, and Kathy Bates."

One of my favorite movies.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:02 (thirteen years ago) link

At the risk of spamming the board about this movie, of you like smart horror movies " black Christmas" from 1974 is totally amazing.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link

Directed by the guy who did a A Christmas Story!

الله basedأكبر (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link

check out the wind journeys if you are a fan of cinematography or latin american magical realism

about a teenager accompanying an accordion player across colombia to return his devil-possessed accordion to his former teacher

story kind of meandering but it looks fantastic

it made me wish batman had written an article on mfas (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Straight Time contains my favorite Dustin Hoffman performance.

Full version of Oliver Assayas' Carlos posted today.

Mystical Singles (Eazy), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link

straight time was great!

kinda not surprised the wiki sez this:

Michael Mann also contributed to the screenplay but was uncredited upon the film's release. The novel later served as a source of reference for the character Neil McCauley in Mann's 1995 film Heat[citation needed].

That content includes “Medium,” which was recently canceled; “Flashpoint,” which is shared with CTV in Canada; and a raft of old shows like “Frasier,” “Family Ties” and “Cheers.” (Some of the shows included in the package are associated with other networks, but were distributed by CBS’s studio.)

anyone else find the instant browsing very cludgey? I mainly browse this via appletv so that might be part of it, but even on the site, I rarely run across some of these things when I'm browsing categories; but if I hunt it down by name there it is.

akm, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link

They don't let you see everything if you're just browsing, unfortunately.
