I remember To Live and Die in LA being on TV late one night. I remember Wang Chung and everybody dying.

Inland Empire was the first time I've stayed and watched all the credits in years and years. I left Satantango before they were done even, but I wanted those bells resonating in my mind for the rest of what little was left of the day.

there's a huge black snake moan poster in my subway station: a pic of ricci in an upper corner, beaten with chain around her waist, giving the camera a feverish, "please rape me" look; huge picture of wild-eyed s. jackson, sweating bullets in his undershirt and brandishing a length of the same chain. tagline: everything is hotter down south.

i really want to deface it, but it's near the booth.

oh yeah, last night two women BROUGHT DINNER to The Painted Veil and unwrapped it during the trailers. Thai, it looked and smelled like. I got up and moved. Is this standard Living Room Syndrome now?

Did it live up to promo still?

s1ocki, I find colossal youth hard to dismiss and I understand the length is part of the agenda, but it just didn't work real well on me. Wasn't too bored tho.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

city of ghosts - seen it before, not a great move, just wanted to look at cambodia.

it was really boring!

i knew it would be boring! b/c the trailer tried to make it look so exciting, but it's really just a guy and a girl and his paranoia, right?

Costumes by Joel Schumacher

THANK YOU JO-EL

I stopped staying until the end of the credits when I realized that I wasn't impressing anyone by doing so. Sometimes I will still stay, though, if I'm by myself, or if the movie has put me in a contemplative mood and I'm not quite ready to enter the world just yet.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

ppl who talk during movies bolt the second the credits come up.

Plus there is sometimes an additional scene after -- Young Sherlock Holmes started that I think.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah that's why I stay, to impress everybody.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

haha
i stay because it was trained into me by my dad. and then i just came to like staying. and to see the music, obv.

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

YR DAD ROX

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

dude, when i say train, i mean, sometimes we'd go to this old theatre on rainy saturdays/sundays and sit through 3 movies for a $1. i have watched all kinds of movies i've totally forgotten about but seen to their very end.

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

FERRIS BUELLER U PHILISTINE

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha - thanx to the interweb, folks I movie w/ know when to stay & when to go (cf. Pirates of the Carribean The Second). Usually, my desire to stay is linked w/ my desire to relieve myself and/or my desire to find out about the music and/or my desire to leave the theatre.

Young Sherlock Holmes used to be my favorite movie.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i love this movie.

YES! One of my fav college dorm drinking movies

― Del Monte Young (ex machina), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

― stepfanie kramer (get bent), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Adventures in Baby-Sitting has one of the best post-credits scenes ever!

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

you know for funny

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, that

Young Sherlock Holmes came out the year before Ferris Unfuckingwatchable Bueller, andwhat. (I hate Broderick so much in the opening I've never made it 10 minutes in.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Sexy Beast - here's where I say, "hey, that was pretty good" and you say, "tell us something we didn't know 6 years ago when everybody else saw it"

The Departed - enjoyable popcorn flick, but where's Scorsese's thumbprint? felt like it could've been directed by anybody, and at brief times by a clueless anybody (OH LOOK A RAT I SEE WHAT U DID DERE). what keeps things moving is the ruthless plot that's 90% lifted from the original Hong Kong film. it does a bangup job capturing Boston, though. if you live there chances are you know several people just like Wahlberg's character.

Memories of Murder - continued proof of Korean deftness at playing to the cheap seats but still defying expectations. a cruel black comedy about serial killing, police interrogation tactics, and desperate karaoke. jessie how was Teh Host?

I saw To Live & Die In LA twice when it came out, so I'm largely responsible for its total box office haul of $28.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

come on, departed is SO scorsese. the camera moves, the schoonmakeriness, the pacing

sexy beast is terrific.

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno, it struck me as very by-the-numbers. Yeah, it had the superficial Scorsese stuff, but not one moment of transcendence, which even in his bad movies there are usually at least 1-2 moments of. Even his music choices were sub-par autopilot stuff - c'mon Marty, "Gimme Shelter"? Really?

The original had me more wrapped up in the characters' fate, got me thinking about the questions of identity that the setup naturally begs - and you'd think this would be primo territory for Scorsese to explore, but he never slowed down to let those themes percolate. And the Damon-Farmiga-Dicaprio love triangle was total DOA dud.

It sounds like I didn't like it - I did, it zipped along, it was fun - but The Aviator was a ballsier movie. Christ, I'm starting to sound like Morbs.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

A ridiculous plot that works only with a Hong Kong gloss is NOT primo territory for Scorsese to explore.

God knows it was better than The Aviator tho. But my favorite of his is The King of Comedy, w/o all that 'kinetic' razzledazzle.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

The rat was in Monahan's script.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

i like the rat! it is a JOEK.

the aviator is unbearably shitty.

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha - maybe that last shot was Scorcese saying to Monahan, "Here's your fucking rat, you dumb piece of shit."

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Ferris Unfuckingwatchable Bueller

OK MORBS THATS IT! THAT... IS... IT!

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Staying through the credits is stupid unless they've inserted extra footage/gags/etc.. No one should care who the Grip's Chief Assistant was or if the director thanks his poolboy.

― milo (milo), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks
