OMG that stalker poster!

― it was jody that killed the beast (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 2 January 2006 07:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Castellari's 'The New Barbarians' aka 'Warriors of the Wasteland'. There's an awesome decapitation scene with a twitching mechanical dummy. And all the *futuristic* cars make identical electric whirring noises.

whhhhhzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrrzrzrzrrz!

Also, the blurb on the back explains about the hero fighting '...with the help of a massive black man'

omg Stalker! I'm a massive Tarkovsky fan and yet.. and yet.. man, that thing really kind of drags on. I saw it a second time just to be sure.

this Tarkovsky site has a neat archive of posters around the world for his films. I like the Japanese one for Stalker. the Finnish one looks like Bergman, the Belgian poster is a crime novel cover, East Germany gets the socialist poster art treatment, Italy it looks like a horror film..

Alex saw that Milton. He liked it. I will see it soon.

Have you seen anything by Carlos Reygadas? I was watching Japon last might and thought that you would like it.

― Codename: Paul Scholes (nordicskilla), Friday, 17 February 2006 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

no, is battle in heaven still playing tomorrow-ish somewheres? I'll look to rent Japon.

I want to come to kyle's thing but I'm sorta bound to go to the flössin / blevin show. When's the tactile dome planned?

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 17 February 2006 19:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Battle In Heaven is sold out at YBCA.

Tactile Dome was only hypothetical. I don't think I can take it.

― Codename: Paul Scholes (nordicskilla), Friday, 17 February 2006 20:51 (eighteen years ago) link

tactile dome is actually a friendly place, a normally claustrophobic friend of mine gave it good reviews. it's too fuzzy in there to be scared.

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 17 February 2006 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

If is dark, I will freak out. I freak out just lying in bed sometimes!

I got cut in the tactile dome, no stitches needed or anything, just a nice slice. Not sure if someone pulled a prank or what.

My ex cut up a goat heart on valentine's day at the SFE.

Shit I checked this thread to talk about The 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada... is there an ILE thread yet?

Also, saw the preview for art school confidential... looks pretty great.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Go see The New World as it's about to vanish, and on TV it won't be the same.

I saw a few minutes of Airport last night and Dean Martin hadda be chucklin thru the whole thing.

children of men was pretty great

― dmr (Renard), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I really want to see that after payday. Meanwhile, ExistenZ was amusing but pretty dumb. Ek Hasina Thi is next.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I watched Junebug. I sort of liked the idea of the movie, but something about it felt under-realized. Poorly shot too. The mom and the mustachioed younger brother were ace, as was the folk artist. The gallery lady was obnoxious but I guess she was supposed to be. Her husband was a retard - like I was beginning to think he was actually supposed to be mentally retarded and she married him out of sympathy, b/c otherwise it didn't make sense.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i used to have Maniac on laserdisc! what a great movie.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

That's sad, I didn't think Junebug was particularly strong but I didn't think the gallery lady was that bad, except for the fact that she tolerated her stupid assistant at home. She herself wasn't terrible, but I think we were supposed to find her art-world associates contemptible.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:19 (seventeen years ago) link

FYI - this movie is awesome:

but it's not as good as one of my fave movies of all time, BUG. william castle! bradford dillman! i've probably watched it 50 times:

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:27 (seventeen years ago) link

such a beautiful movie.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Well I had trouble telling how much I was supposed to like her character, partly because I thought she overacted. (xpost)

I thought she was pretty condescending to the family and it was dickish to skip the hospital at the birth and again at the miscarriage.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:28 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG, worse plot ever:

A dealer in outsider art threatens the equilibrium of her middle-class in-laws in North Carolina. Madeline is a go-getting art gallery owner from Chicago, recently married to George, a near-perfect Southern beau. When Madeline needs to close a deal with a reclusive North Carolina artist, George introduces her to his family: prickly mother Peg, taciturn father Eugene, cranky brother Johnny, and Johnny's pregnant, childlike wife Ashley, who is awe-struck by her glamorous sister-in-law. Madeline's presence exposes the fragile family dynamics as hidden resentments and anxieties surface.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:32 (seventeen years ago) link

But she tried to go to the hospital with Ashley in the first place and the adults excluded her! I think her greatest mistake was in not telling George that she'd been shut out, because he just thought she hadn't tried. And then after the miscarriage no one would come and get her, G told her to find her own ride home.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:40 (seventeen years ago) link

The folk artist is a thinly-veiled Darger, or a cross between Darger and some racist religious artist, which is sort of fun. He's supposed to be autistic and he draws paintings of white people being impaled on large black penes! (xpost)

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah actually I was confused about the whole ride to/from the hosptial situation. I thought he said something about her taking a cab but then she didn't do it because she wanted to seal the deal with the artist.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:43 (seventeen years ago) link

It hardly matters to my overall opinion of the movie, which is that it was *eh*.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Saturday, 6 January 2007 06:45 (seventeen years ago) link

ha ha, scott

BUG is awesome

I had a store called Redrum in Philadelphia and we would play movies all day on a t.v. next to the videos we had for sale and I would play Bug ALL DAY LONG. 8 hours of continuous BUG! I did this for weeks! No wonder we ended up closing. I was kinda obsessed. I really identified with that particular vision of madness.

Children of Men was totally great. Michael Caine remains a perennial hero of mine.
