Kontroll

Summer of Sam
I noticed the when the gudio thug squad takes down some punk for liking Boston, he's played by John Savage, who plays a similar function in Do The Right Thing. Love a running gag, me.

i thot kontroll was disappointing. i'd still call it good tho.

― Kenneth Branagh (gcannon), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I lolled at the disclaimer at the beginning, that this is not a true account of the Budapest subway and plz to be recognizing the difference between fact and fiction

― dmr (dmr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i wanna see that kontroll movie

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

if they do a porno take on it they should call it pussy kontroll

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

at first I was afraid it was gonna be as bad as Night Watch but it got better

― dmr (dmr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i had to think back if there was anything supernatural in kontroll. no, right?

i think i was turned off by the "young genius with unexplained psychological aversion to success and daylight" meme + girl falling for same which seemed too 90s indie ethan hawke soft-misogyny bullshitty to me

― Kenneth Branagh (gcannon), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

pùèžji kontroll

― Kenneth Branagh (gcannon), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

no there was nothing supernatural, Night Watch is just my recent standard for "mediocre foreign flick that critics graded on the curve"

Kontroll was better ...

holy cow, I know that gal.

Lynch looks as though he'd like to know her.

Ugetsu - I haven't read much on this one, but it struck me as much a result of Japanese post-WWII thinking as Godzilla. Two men abandon their families to war-profiteer, and are taken down a few pegs for their hubris.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

there is something to The Edge

ASHES OF TIME

― jw (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I forgot how dull Stripes is.

only on ilx, folks, only on ilx

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

how could one possibly forget how dull Stripes is?

― Venom 18, the autistic spy (flezaffe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

i really want to like stripes

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

film critcs are the art of real forgetfulness

Stripes = Full Metal Jacket

School More Interesting Than Work?

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Kontroll is next on my flix list!

Jon, you know the other night when you were telling me about Duel to the Death and how it's all magical and has crazy ninja scenes?? I was trying to remember Ashes of Time to compare it to but couldn't dredge up the title from memory!! I wanted to like it, I really did -- just couldn't tell what the fuck was going on.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

inland empire:

if you love lynch you will love inland empire

if you do not love lynch, you will not love inland empire

polish gypsy magic, hollywood prostitutes, do the locomotion with me

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I made the mistakes of smoking up while watching Ashes of Time. Like Stalker or Saragossa Manuscript, not the labyrinth to unravel under the influence.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

duel to the death is so awesome

should i smoke before inland empire
my sources point to yes

― v (sleep), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

fell asleep during Seven Samurai. will try again later.

― grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny warned you.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

watched Art School Confidential last night. kinda meh, in a long line of kinda meh movies I've seen recently. I really hope Terry Zwigoff is going to make a great movie again one day.

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

if you do not love lynch, you will not love inland empire

Patently untrue. I like 3 films of his a lot -- these last two and The Elephant Man -- and would burn many of the others.

should i smoke before inland empire

NO, bcs you cannot evaluate a film properly then (ie, my barman friend who though Burton's Planet of the Apes was 'great' stoned. or you'll be s1ockli.

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Problem with smoking before three hour movies is the problem of coming down sometime soon after the previews. I don't think THC is really necessary with Lynch, as he's already "there."
Coffee, though

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i smoked before inland, it was wonderful

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

these last two

to which last two are you referring

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Carpenter's The Thing became a whole lot more effective on pot, though I admit I sort of got lost when I tried it on It's Alive.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i yam surrounded by teh stoners

cutty, Mulholland (the masterpiece) and Inland (its demented, perhaps traumatized cousin)

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

"cutty, Mulholland (the masterpiece)"

SILENCIO

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i like inland more--because i knew this time around it was a failed pilot turned film, it was a film from the ground up

all this talk about lynch making up everything as he went along is ridiculous, he obv knew what he was doing the whole time

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

wasn't a failed pilot turned film

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

The Thing is fucking fantastic, truly great film, etc. etc.

My favorite part is when they are getting ready to torch the camp and you realize that at some point these dudes were just like, "Yeah, we're going to die here."

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

the thing and repo man = #1 and #2 for '80s pics.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

when smoking, skip it's alive and go straight for cohen's god told me to (anyone on the noize board who hasn't seen it, I wish I could be there when they finally do, always up for watching that again)

tonight: re-watching alone in the dark. believe this review: http://www.geocities.com/pleasence/alone/alone.html

― milton parker (milton parker), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT FOR RE-ANIMATORRRR.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

omg 'alone in the dark' is awesome. martin landau, palance, pleasance! from the director of 'the hidden' and....well, nothing else i can think of.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Mulholland really is a masterpiece of sorts, but it also reveals the limits of Lynchworld - there's just too much stuff in the way and too much reserve to really get across - so I might argue that the Straight Story, even if a small film, is better because of the Straight-jacketing.

― nuneb (nuneb), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

did not know it was the same director as 'the hidden'

it is just as awesome as 'the hidden'

― milton parker (milton parker), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

God Told Me To is fucking bananas, like if grant morrison wrote Law & Order episodes with a $2.50 budget.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

the only thing the hidden has up on it is more car smashup action

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

what about this:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0092632/

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

and i will always pair that with this:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0092563/

― this is cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't forget Seprent & The Rainbow.
(Late 80s B-flix come in 3s)

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

that's okay. it could be worse, it's helped by the actors.

i liked this one:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297853/maindetails

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd already seen God Told Me To (which probably would've really screwed me up high).
