Last (x) movies you saw

I would so do Belmondo and he probably reeks of Gauloises.

I would so do Belmondo; he probably reeks of Gauloises.

I should add that I really enjoyed Breathless and Belmondo is a striking screen presence -- I agree with "ugly-beautiful" as Alfred put it. I just saw the ugly more than the beautiful.

it's at IFC jon! i can get you a ticket sometime if you wanna.

will get at u!

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/belle_laide

the first result for 'beau laid' = belmondo

delon is the necessary counterpart to belmondo, impossible beauty vs bordelais roug

Delon's type is much closer to rough trade in my experience

yeah but have you skulked around the docks of bordeaux on a misty november evening in 1954?

yeah, delon seems more like he would knife you unsuspectingly. belmondo seems like he would prattle on about his life and hopes and dreams post-fuck until you just want him to leave.

belmondo would maybe be more of a card shark

Belmondo would ask you for a ride, let you blow him, ask that you leave him on a corner, and, as you drive away, you notice he's stolen your cigarettes.

Shit -- I just wrote a Choose Your Own Adventure.

its cool how when french people turn 60 they decide to just stand around in thongs for the rest of their days and turn into leather couches

Do you let Delon knife you in the back? Turn to pg. 55

Do you allow Belmondo to blow you? Turn to pg. 3.

"DATING A PETTY HOOD"

btw I never got over those faggoty sandals Jim wore to the beach.

trouble with this is though there are probably a thousand belmondos, delon is nonpareil, so an ersatz delon would no more substitute than doug liman would for godard

are you straight?

yes, but i'd probably have sex with belmondo

yeah but i think hypothetical rough trade belmondo is straight no? xp

Delon tends to be the kind of guy Straight Guys Would Fuck.

whereas as the kind of guy who Gay Guys Would Fuck is Jeanne Moreau.

jeanne moreau is amazing

especially in diary of a chambermaid

not a fan of Chambermaid but can appreciate what Bunuel saw in her stride.

the best post-1950s bunuel

whoa whoa -- better than El, Robinson Crusoe, Nazarin, Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel, Belle de Jour, The Discreet Charm --

my fingers hurt

anyway Jean Renoir made a proto-Bunuelian Diary of a Chambermaid in the forties

just uncontaminated social violence and trashing of la france profonde ruritanian pieties

nazarin was 50s iirc? viridiana.....maybe, i love viridiana though i think he was better with something more conventional and a little less archetypal to work against

his colour films are all overlit and slightly shonky, chamberbaid is tenebrist ether, lizardy camerawork, the spectre of poujadism lurking like nothing before seul contre tous

I guess this is the point where I shamefully admit that I have never seen a full length Bunuel film.

I mean, read enough to know that his films are something that I could either very easily love or very easily hate, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I will cut anyone who doesn't love Bunuel.

the last movie i saw that was really worth shit was EL SUR (erice, 1983)

otherwise some passable stuff, carax, james benning, kurt kren, ali which i preferred first time, con air, inside man was on tv the other day

I will cut anyone who doesn't love Bunuel.
