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

Ferris Unfuckingwatchable Bueller

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

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.

thanks

Ferris Bueller gets pretty old.

you mean like after youve seen it 20 times

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

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

Infernal Affairs had a palpable sense of loss and sorrow that carried it beyond its b-movie plot machinations. The Departed could've easily been in a diff league than expertly executed cat-and-mouse games, but all it has going for it is plot+motion+scenery chewing. Again, these aren't bad things, but finding soulfullness in criminality and exploring indentity crises are two of Scorsese's big themes, so I sense a missed opportunity here.

milo, how about where it was shot, the music, Special Thanks to actors who were edited out or lost to rehab, etc. More information is not stupid.

I wanted more JOKES and less Matt Damon.

imdb is good for "more information"

It wasn't great, but it was interesting. I thought it was a riff on Raging Bull - a successful yet unlikable character and his decline. I can't stand DiCaprio but I didn't mind him in it, so that right there is an achievement.

about predator ships!

i never stay to the end of the credits for a movie i don't like, only long enough for half the people in the theatre to leave. otherwise, it's a nice way to wind down after living in movieworld for 2 hrs.
xpost

i had to turn the aviator off once it got past one of the big party scenes in teh first hour. dicaprio was also reminding me of a then-recent ex. ugh.

a stupid part of me wants to see music and lyrics

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Will the stupid part at least wait and rent it?

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Otherwise the disappointed part of you will be pretty pissed at the stupid part.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i think the lazy part will probably win out unless the frugal part gets their first

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

'there', eesh

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

my brain part is revving high today but fuel is low i think

The only time I've really wanted to find out the name of a piece of music, both the credits and IMDB were useless (the house-party from Movern Callar - maybe it's a weird version of "Goon Goompas"?).

Any info on rehab I'll have already gleaned from TMZ/Defamer/etc..

― milo (milo), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

"Goon Gompas" is on the Morvern Callar soundtrack.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

WHEN WILL THEY END THIS CREDITS MADNESS

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Goon Goompas doesn't really sound like the music from the scene, but it's as close as I've gotten.

― milo (milo), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I always wondered what that insanity is that they play in the strobe rave scene

The Prestige -- liked it ok!
Idiocracy -- BAD (though, as everyone says, the 'batin line is pretty good....needless to say, my roommate will LOVE this movie. LOVE IT.)

Good point - Citizen Hughes?

The Wayward Cloud is straaange, and I'm not sure it's much good even as musical watermelon porn. Nathan Lee in Voice says the Tsai opening in 2 months is better.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

"musical watermelon porn"

― m coleman (lovebug ), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

this is testing the limits of my admittedly limited imagination

but I like -- sounds like a buttholle surfers album title

― m coleman (lovebug ), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

3 episodes of first person - psychologist fascinated w/serial killers, mob lawyer, i live in public guy.

my world-view has now expanded thx dr.m

i was gonna make a joke about fucking watermelons in a country where they eat cod sperm, but that would be lame.

the audio aspect of that movie sounds v. intriguing

is that yr blog?

― m coleman (lovebug ), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm... sat or sun afternoon showing of wayward cloud looks good, although i'm not sure if my ancient bones are up for anthology's seats.

― Lauren (lauren), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

no mc, I am not even interested enough in my own life to have a blahg.

The last scene of TWC will fuck your head for awhile.

I saw Whitehead's The Fall as threatened last night at Anthol and managed not to sleep for more than 10 secs here & there.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

needless to say, my roommate will LOVE this movie. LOVE IT.)

hypothesis confirmed: "what's really cool is that it's a different type of post-apocalyptic movie than what's been coming out anymore"

two years pass...

should i see precious or is it gonna be totally oprah

― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 27 November 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't know what that is but if it's anything like The Lake House starring Sandra Bullock which i saw the other day then i say YES

― jergins, Friday, 27 November 2009 22:37 (fourteen years ago) link

it is about an obese black teenager who learns to love herself or something like that

― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 27 November 2009 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link

i want to do something with myself but there are no good (imo) movies on and it looks depressing so i might like it i dunno

― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 27 November 2009 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link

i wanna see precious

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 01:44 (fourteen years ago) link

it was alright, not too oprah at all

― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:03 (fourteen years ago) link

what was the oprah to tyler perry ratio?

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:16 (fourteen years ago) link

haha i haven't seen anything else by him but i guess it's like 20-30% oprah
it wasn't the best thing ever bc it kind of propped itself up with shock all the time but it was worth watching. sometimes i watch something people say is shocking and feel disappointed and want it to be more shocking so i guess i asked for it. it was pretty shocking imo. but also funny.

― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:22 (fourteen years ago) link

the preview made me a lil misty and i lovvvve crying at movies so tell me: is it a tear jerker?

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:24 (fourteen years ago) link

i dunno i never cry at movies but if you like to cry at movies, you will :)

― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:28 (fourteen years ago) link

i am watching precious.
so far: eh.

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 04:38 (fourteen years ago) link

getting better...

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 05:52 (fourteen years ago) link

the end.
no tears.
