a break or two in a 3-to-14-hr film is not piecemeal

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost to morbs
yes, facets

artificial eye released a better version this month, but it's region 2 and i haven't got a region free player. also it's PAL which means playback is a little faster than it should be, i think

jaymc, yeah it comes on 3 dvds so i think piecemeal will be really tempting about 5 hours in

― v (sleep), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Slocki, the good thing about the narrative arcs is that it prevents each episode of CYE from being the exact same as the one before it. Toward the end of S1, I was getting tired of the formula, but the arcs gave each new episode a purpose.

-- jaymc (jmcunnin...), Today. (later)

yeah, true. i find CYE best in spread-out chunks, though; i can't watch 10 episodes of it in a row like i can with other shows.

oh dudez I just saw the best show ever it's called ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and I can't believe we're not talking about it IT'S SO GOOD*

* = yes, I liked it much; no, I'm not serious.

more re: the propostion:

i was also really disappointed at the lack of interaction between evil brother and ray winstone. that could have been fireworks!

one thing that did not disappoint was the graphic flogging scene. the story i read was that passion of the christ came out while nick cave was doing re-writes and he decided that he needed to top its flogging.

I watched Satantango in one day and it was one goddamn dreary day.

"I watched Satantango in one day and it was one goddamn dreary day."

Bought it last week and finished it yesterday - probably didn't find it that grim bcz it was all spread out over 3 evenings, which I hated doing but couldn't wait for the weekend.

Really enjoyed it though Artificial Eye should've had an extra to accompany this..

How was Apocalypto? I hate to say it but it kind of looks "fun".

― drunk Friendster massage (nklshs), Thursday, 30 November 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

But it's the story about a man trying to save his family! For something to begin, something must end! That ain't fun, son!

re the proposition

squeezing blood from the whip was nice, but can't really compare to the passion, a film completely devoted to flogging.

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Thursday, 30 November 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

veronica mars, season 1, first 12 episodes. god help me.

facets satantango delayed (again) till 2007
time to research region-free players

― v (sleep), Thursday, 30 November 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

watched 49Up last night, enjoyed very much. I think I've seen all of these, but it had been several years since I last watched part of the series -- people growing up and becoming total adults is weird.

put dvd in computer * copy to drive w/unencrypting software * burn new region free dvd

― v (sleep), Thursday, 30 November 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

been watching first season of The Wire, that's all. rented Infernal Affairs but haven't gotten around to that yet..

Yeah, it can be a bit much, especially if you're able to watch the sun changing dramatically over the course of the film. That said, it is remarkably well paced and nowhere near as tedious as it really should be.

veronica mars, season 1, first 12 episodes. god help me.

The best.

but if the other region dvd is in PAL format you are shit out of luck if you want to watch the dvd on a normal player

apocalypto was basically braveheart meets home alone in the jungle.

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Thursday, 30 November 2006 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link

did apocalypto really have the "oh those natives, if only they had been saved by jeeeesus" condescending tone I picked up from the trailer?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Thursday, 30 November 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

not really.

The Thing

― latebloomer (clonefeed), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

manufactured landscapes

amazing amazing doc about photographer edward burtynksy, who's work is mostly about the impact of mega-scale industrialization--huge building projects, dams, extraction etc. mindblowing. opens with 11-minute tracking shot through huge chinese manufacturing plant. film also shows: ship wrecking yards where huge freighters are run aground and torn apart; towns where industry is primarily reclamation of e-waste (huge dumps full of circuit boards), 3 gorges dam project, so huge that when it was filled with water (reservoir is 600 kilometres long) the earth actually wobbled, rivers of bright-red nickel runoff, mining projects that carve huge stepped holes out of mountains.

one of the best movies of the year. and without a DOUBT the NOIZEST movie of the year.

A++++++++

SEE IT. on the big screen if it comes to your town. robyn don't miss it while it's at ex-centris.

well the movie part doesn't actually seem to be playing @ the bk museum, it's just the photos. but i'll keep an eye out for it - the distributor website could really be a little more useful in that regard.
