some scores and blurbs from above

Diamonds Are Forever 7/10 - I'm not sure if this is about anything or even has a real plot, and it's probably not any good at all, but has more bits that I like in it than nearly any other Bond. Gay contract killer couple! Fake Howard Hughes analog kidnapped! A car chase where Bond goes up on two wheels! A really cool camera move where it rushes up to his head when he's being coshed!

Driller Killer 7/10 - the serial killer stuff is v implausibly motivated and really doesn't fit with the film's main purpose of being a slice-of-life survey of a downtown arts scene. the whole thing is so patchy I assume it was shot in semi-random chunks whenever Ferrara could get some short ends. but it's compelling and would presumably have been a laugh-along hoot in Soho fleapits during the video nasty ban

M:i-2 7/10 - all I remembered from this was some amusingly nonsensical local geography at the climax, but basically everyone who said this was a bad Woo or bad Mission flick for the last 20 years is dumb and wrong. it's totally Woo getting to make a Hollywood spy movie in his style the way DePalma did, and they should have kept going in that vein. there's a gunfight / car ballet / foreplay scene! also John Polson was presumably so shamed by the accent they had him do that he retired from acting immediately to run the world's largest short film festival

Face / Off 9/10 - obv the only REAL TRUE Hollywood Woo though. Travolta playing Cage playing Travolta is perhaps the most acting he's ever done on screen, even if he can't quite suppress his dancer's grace enough

Child's Play 5/10 - perfectly fine slasher movie, I will never make it through the entire series to get to properly appreciate the all-Mancini flicks I've seen bits of

Witchfinder General 8/10 would grime again

Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood 9/10

Mister America 4/10 as an actual movie, 7/10 experience of watching in a sold-out theater of fans

Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II 4/10 - acceptable slasher flick, a few good scare sequences

El Camino 5/10 - fine as an epilogue, highly unnecessary to suddenly do in 2019 with everyone six years fatter or older or cancery, especially as "Jesse driving away" adds zero resolution to the series' ending of... Jesse driving away

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure 8/10, took a 10-yo and a 14-yo to a $1.99 screening, high hopes for the sequel next year

Night Of The Creeps 6/10 effective pastiche of everything it's pastiching

Dolemite Is My Name 8/10

The Laundromat 6/10 - as Burns / Sodes entertainments about capitalism destroying humans go, it's more fun than Side Effects, nowhere close to The Informant

Candyman 6/10 - weird mishmash of physical-horror-manifests-from-brain in Barker style, with metaphor and direct commentary on racist gentrification in the US, by an English director without enough budget to include substantial characters whose lives are affected by said gentrification. really strong and distinct '80s tone that varies from the other '80s horror I watched this month - in a way that feels of its time and wouldn't be replicated by period pieces

Nightmare On Elm Street 7/10 - have still never seen any other Elm St movie. so many elements of incompleteness or cheapness feel fitting due to dream logic, which one imagines has diminishing returns in later flicks by different people

Vampire In Brooklyn 2/10 - then again sometimes Wes Craven can't make the most of a script that doesn't connect up to itself. John Witherspoon nearly holds it together by himself

Little Shop Of Horrors 9/10 - sorry I waited so many decades, glad I saw it with an audience

The Wrong Man 6/10 for Hitchcock storytelling, 2/10 for significant suspense given it's about a real-life mistaken identity accusation from about a year earlier

Dead Ringers 8/10

Dead Heat 1/10 for being a movie, 8/10 for overall entertainment value, 9/10 for makeup effects and puppets. laughed enough at the undead Chinese restaurant sequence streaming on a bad TV that in the theatre that scene alone would have made up for Joe Piscopo and his tits in the rest of it

Mad Max 2 10/10 streaming on a bad TV, obviously scores much higher in a theatre

I watched the first Nightmare on Elm Street recently too. like so many horror movies that spawned 4+ sequels, it feels half-cocked, even down to the credit "Fred Krueger."

flappy bird, Wednesday, 6 November 2019 01:59 (four years ago) link

yeah, there's a little disjunct when that mom names him Fred Krueger, then you realise "Freddy" is a product of the successful attempt to rebrand the child mol-- murderer as a fun kiddie character for toys and sweatshirts and syndicated TV shows

nightmare 1 is a fuckin classic, the only bad thing about it is the ending

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 November 2019 03:05 (four years ago) link

yeah the first nightmare is genuinely pretty good imo. apparently the studio forced that stupid ending on wes craven so they could do a sequel (which seems kinda funny now -- imagine someone deciding not to do a sequel to a slasher movie because "well, we killed off the bad guy in the first one, so that's that!").

interested in Grass, remember liking 24 City

Dan S, Wednesday, 6 November 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link

tina getting dragged across the ceiling, her corpse in a translucent bodybag dragging itself through the high school, johnny depp getting sucked into his bed and turning into a blood vortex, the claws through the bedroom wall/the claws in the bathtub... all of these scenes still look amazing and are still deeply upsetting

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 November 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link

the ending works OK as dream logic / having the audience walk out hyped and scared instead of comforted, even though it's cheap and gratuitous. would be way better if the only change from Craven's intention was that the car was striped like Freddy though, just adding some spooky ambiguity to the happy ending.

Grass is such a wonderful little film. I've rarely seen a film that felt so small and inconsequential, and coming from Hong Sang-soo that might be saying a lot, but it's just such a nice way to spend an hour.

I really liked Too Late to Die Young, so sad to hear that Dominga Sotomayors other films aren't that good, according to devvine. They've been on my to-do list for a while.

So, yeah, this must be one of the worst movie-watching months I've had in a very long time. van Sant is up and down, though I'm very happy to have finally seen My Own Private Idaho. Still, Sea of Trees, nobody should do that to themselves. Apart from Haywire, not the best collection of Soderbergh either. All the Tavernier were frightfully boring, disappointing after I really liked Round Midnight. And Farhadi. Don't ever watch too much Farhadi, sigh. Hate that he is so important, and that I kinda feel I should be able to say something qualified about him. Here's something: He has only gotten continually worse over time. Even the Denis was a bit of a disappointment, though I'd definitely expected too much from it. It's not bad.

A few bright lights. I looooove Panahi, and while 3 Faces might honestly be his worst, that's still pretty incredible. Felt all happy and fuzzy inside afterwards. Macario is cool, I thought Mexican cinema had collapsed in 1960, but it's amazingly beautiful. And I'm really looking forward to seeing Monos in a few days after seeing the two other films by Alejandro Landes. Though Cocalero is depressing, it's a portrait of Evo Morales from his first campaign in 2005 :( So much hope, so much promise.

Thoughts on Laundromat? Babadook? VVitch? Highlife?

my last four days was:
Framing John DeLorean
Mike Wallace is Here
Maiden (aborted, this felt very rah rah plus i realized i don't give a shit about yachting)
Be Natural: Alice Guy Blanche
Poetry (Chang-Dong)

Started Jacqueline Audry's The Great Deception last night and it seems great so far. Was going to go see Marriage Story last night and then realized i was almost guaranteed to hate it so i opted out.

Thoughts on Laundromat? Babadook? VVitch? Highlife?

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), 13. november 2019 20:06 (one hour ago) bookmarkflaglink

We discussed Laundromat a bit on the Soderbergh thread. I really didn't like it, and I've turned into a massive Soderbergh fan the last few years :( Watch High Flying Bird instead, if you haven't already. Babadook and VVitch just really isn't my thing. I liked how pure the emotions of Babadook felt, but I'm just a bit bored. And VVitch I just don't care for, it's fine, nothing wrong with it, I like that young directors are doing stuff like that all over the world, digging into weird local stories, I just can't get excited by it when it's not more aesthetically original, and it's weird how big A24 indie is even in Denmark. I watched it to prepare for a festival starting tomorrow (I watched so much of this to prepare for work, unpaid work in a lot of cases, for different reasons, sigh) and it's sold out and they don't want to send me a screener, so who cares. High Life... It has good things in it, Binoche in a box, all the flashbacks, but I wasn't that taken with it. I miss her usual cinematographer Agnes Godard, the whole thing was just that bit more conventional on a granular level? Also, I'd just read too much about it, and knew too much, and was let down. Pattinson is really good. But even Let the Sunshine In had more surprises for me, and a relationship drama should not be more mysterious than sci-fi?

And also, how is Poetry?

Frederik B, Wednesday, 13 November 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link

i was thinking high life couldn't be as good as let the sunshine in; been sort of dragging my heels on it.
i'm more of a babadook/vvitch guy myself; i like weird creepy miniatures.

Poetry was devastating, never sadistic but just spirit breaking in its relentless pressure on the wonderful lead actress and, by extension, the audience. It suckered me into thinking it was ultimately an optimistic view of life in which we can find poetry and beauty even in the harshest and saddest of moments and then got me at the end with the rather stinging rejoinder of "but so what?" Recommended watching but tough sledding.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 13 November 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

incidentally of those four white people documentaries, the standout was likely Mike Wallace... what a carefully constructed and provocative life he built! A rare opportunity to tell a story that absolutely required no narration or talking heads because he spent his entire life filming his documentary for you. Plus, love the choice of theme music.

Where'd You Go Bernadette is a well-filmed, highly mannered opportunity for tons of good acting (most of it Blanchett; she's awesome) to work through one of the dumber scripts I've sat through in recent years. Even taking into account this thing's screwball film context, it's still a dog of a film that i couldn't turn off because the lead was so goddam magnetic.
