Roman Polanski, or pardon me but your poll is in my neck.

9th gate has been on showtime constantly lately. The scene with the old woman collector in Italy on the hoveround is creepy

Millennials and their PC shit about stoopid thingz artists say really on overload this week

Cool post.

If Dennis Perrin had responded to it with a painfully unfunny tweet you probs would have thought it cool.

Also anyone who uses "PC" unironically is a cunt, perhaps you didn't get the memo?

Or perhaps you did, I don't know.

you meant to say "Generation X," right?

The PC APB MIA from Morbs' PO.

That's rather sexist, you malodorous twat.

i dunno, which does that dummy Rich Juzw1ak belong to?

I'm missing the connection here.

Oh I forgot, you're a comedian.

lol "PC"

Roman Polan-C

PC now apparently defined as considering the opinions of a statutory rapist on a woman's reproductive rights beneath contempt. Okay, well, ya got me! Guilty as charged!! [flees to Europe]

basically film-festival "journalists" now play Gotcha Grandpa with every asshole auteur over 75.

Before you judge, wait til you read his thoughts on Mariah Carey.

And critics/journalists/bloggers have been dumping on aged auteurs' late-period efforts since the beginning of time and there's no reason to think that's ever going to change. And I use "efforts" generously for a man who hasn't directed a movie in 30 years.

And Jerry Lewis IS an asshole!

Or you wouldn't like him.

why can't broads do broad comedy?

Why does only he who slaps dick dig slapstick?

I'm a fan of all sorts of assholes, Lewis, Bob Hope, and Prince included.

(a good followup to Lewis wd be to ask him where his films woulda been w/out Kathleen Freeman et al)

Or even this bit:

The new looks really interesting, was reading about it this morning.

If anyone's willing to drive me to the reservoir and stick a rubber knife in my nostril, i'd be game

Dooooooope.

Venus in Fur is pretty good if familiar. Maybe the best part he's given his spouse.

Beware, lots of "opinions on women" implicit in it.

Watching carnage tonight

people watch this slimebag's movies?

I think so

Let me check just to be sure

Yep

Omg apparently he won an academy award - do people know about this?

All movies are made by slimeballs

It's in the union bylaws

Every movie production must feature at least 25% slimebag produced content

Thought that was only in Canada

"All movies are made by slimeballs"

Sitcoms, too.

Carnage was ok. Foster overracting a bit much, and since all you have in this kind of movie is the acting, when one of the four actors is distracting it becomes a bigger problem than it might otherwise be. Winslet's character seemed underdeveloped compared to the other three. Waltz and O'Reilly are great, deliver some much-needed laughs.

Liked Foster, bcuz I haven't even bothered to see much she's in the last 15 years, and that is a scarcely exaggerated Park Slope Parent, really.

Venus in Fur is both superficially "stagier" and more cinematic.

there was just so much vein-popping straining going on w her

my wife's review: "I'm glad we don't live in New York" lol

My list and comments.

Oh my, The Tenant is an easy second behind the obvious winner.

I have unwatched copies of The Pianist and Tess (not to mention Oliver Twist) that I should get around to someday.

I have good-ish memories of Bitter Moon and Death and the Maiden. Anyone seen them lately?

I thought Frantic was terrific but only saw it once, on release. I'd like to see it again.
