Chuck, I'd see JB again. I wasn't crazy about it the first time either, but it grows on you. A long coffee break of a movie, almost works better at home on the player. Then suddenly you're enjoying watching everything play out, enjoying the blandness of the mall setting, the dark bar hangouts, the Meters on the soundtrack, the character details, Forster, Fonda, and just about every second Samuel L. Jackson is onscreen. The whole sequence with Chris Tucker is genius. That's one of my favorite roles for Jackson...

six years pass...

I missed (Tarantino's) boast about being the owner of the only repertory house in Los Angeles (i.e., the New Beverly) and how he'll "burn the place down" before he shows anything there with digital projection.

YAY, Tarantino = OLDS, you monkeys!

he was talking about his 'rivalry' with pta i guess--and told a story about depalma finishing blow-up and feeling like he had really made a masterpiece, and then going to see raging bull

Brett Ratner felt the same way after finishing Rush Hour 2 and then going to see The Fast and the Furious

i'm done w/ IB thread, but

"Here's my problem with this whole influence thing," he told me. "Instead of critics reviewing my movies, now what they're really doing is trying to match wits with me...."

It's NO CONTEST, ASSHOLE

four years pass...

“As far as I’m concerned, digital projection and DCPs is the death of cinema as I know it. It’s not even about shooting your film on film or shooting your film on digital. The fact that most films now are not presented in 35 millimeter means that the war is lost. And digital projections, that’s just television in public. And apparently the whole world is okay with television in public, but what I knew as cinema is dead.”

so finally you agree about something? idgi

gbx, Tuesday, 27 May 2014 03:45 (nine years ago) link

he & i agree on a TON of shit (Leone, Budd Boetticher, Eric Rohmer), just not on grindhouse garbage and the worthlessness of his own career in the last dozen years. I just thought it was notable that an ILX god could express such caveman OTM sentiments.

eight years pass...

Don't think I'd read a word about this till I bought it on impulse today:

Suspect I'll end up disagreeing with every third sentence--it's on '70s films (heavily tilted towards American films, I assume, but I'm not sure)--but it should be entertaining.
