Comcast fucked me for two days, so a small delay. I'm still planning for a weekendish reveal though.

OMG, I can't believe I forgot to include Greaser's Palace in my list. Of course, I would have been the only person to vote for it anyway.

Results are going well. Revel will start today or tomorrow.

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Saturday, 27 August 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

You're expecting more joy and festivity than the results will actually get, I suspect.

Probably so, I just don't want to drag this thing out.

(that was a gag about your typo)

oh! I'm very slow and hung over.

two years pass...

What does an ILXor think of Joe? I watched this a couple of days ago -- it certainly wasn't fun, and by the end of it I thought it was a bad movie, but it's stuck with me pretty well, and I think maybe it's a decent film without any sympathetic characters.

Man I've wanted to see that movie for so long. I was under the impression that the characters weren't meant to be unsympathetic tho?

i.e. isn't it a "fuck these lousy hippies" rant?

Nobody's cast in a very good light. Even big-eyed baby Susan Sarandon is a fairly whiny weakling with her boyfriend.

twelve years pass...

My picks!.

Cool, I've bought like five of those (which I have yet to see) in the past month, good to see my taste is in fact impeccable.

I don't think I will ever see what other people see in Suspiria, sadly.

88. Illustrious Corpses (Francesco Rosi)

OTM; I'm slightly disappointed cadaveri eccellenti didn't do as well as possession (1982)

Maybe it's a measure of how hard it is to make a comedy that stays funny, but I note a distinct dominance of serious films in your list.

it's OK, OL, Suspiria is giallos are shit

The Driver and Apocalypse Now are both pretty funny.

brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 July 2020 18:18 (three years ago) link

Giallo directors doing poliziotteschi are the best though.

And since Morbz is here, where is The Night Porter?

oder doch?, Friday, 31 July 2020 18:19 (three years ago) link

ONE of Bunuel's '70s films? And it's not Tristana? Away with thee...
