slockz, i just assumed IE was coming out here when it was released in LA but my assumption is probably totally wrong! i was about to be sad about it, but i'm going to be in NYC next week anyway! (fingers crossed) now i just have to decide whether to spend 3 of my precious nyc hrs on it, plus the resultant state it'll put me in... hm.

gabbneb in hilarious Blake Edwards > Spielberg wtf'er

I'm more flummoxed by the equivalence he draws between Spielberg, John Badham, and Tony Scott.

ocena's 12 is so bad

yeah INLAND EMPIRE doesn't come to chicago until mid-january!! ;___;

man, ocean's 11 was bad enough

INLAND EMPIRE starts in Boston tonight! Finally, an advantage to living in this godforsaken iceberg.

the cohorts are temporal, not quality-based, you maroon (as in "this is the best X in Y many decades").

I'm more flummoxed by the equivalence he draws between Spielberg, John Badham, and Tony Scott

they're basically equally entertaining. one of the three obviously has nothing else on his mind besides selling something, but even if spielberg has the most redeeming social value, at least john badham doesn't admire aliens (and has a sense of humor).

I don't especially like the first one (tho it's a worthy movie), but the second one is great!

― nuneb (nuneb), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

(or, xpost, at least he doesn't have a sense of humor based on a childhood disney diet, tho i guess i'll take that over spaghettikungfuxploitation)

― nuneb (nuneb), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ocean's 12 is better. Soderbergh doesn't bother pretending the caper will make sense or be remotely possible - he just fucks with the audience. 11 is horrible, 12 is worth seeing at least once.

i'm still pissed about domino, i think i rented that because of you! or ebert. >;(

My love for Man on Fire should have been a tip-off on my attitude toward Tony Scott.

― milo (milo), Friday, 8 December 2006 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

tonight either 12 Monkeys or Strosczek (uhhh sp?)

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Friday, 8 December 2006 20:51 (seventeen years ago) link

12 monkeys is the greatest film evar

I KNOW this will only be my 80000th viewing.

'the thing'

Go for Stroszek... just try not to hang yourself afterwards.

The memetic theory of cultural evolution could be considered a form of Lamarckian inheritance of non-genetic traits

In the middle of Little Miss Sunshine. I was surprised at how much I didn't think it sucked for the first half-hour or so ... but it refuses to stop getting fucking worse and worse as it goes on! How can a kid not know he's color blind?!

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 8 December 2006 22:12 (seventeen years ago) link

a lot of color blind people don't actually know they're color blind, from what i understand.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Friday, 8 December 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Most kids get tested for this in school, I thought. In any case, there is nothing that's happened in this movie for the entire roadtrip that's not completely cheap.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 8 December 2006 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

that movie fucking sucks

― this is cutty (mcutt), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

They should have turned Strozsek into a TV sitcom. Lotsa laffs.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

redeeming social value, at least john badham doesn't admire aliens (and has a sense of humor).

-- nuneb (gabbne...), December 8th, 2006.

what the fucking hell is wrong with admiring aliens?

Payback - last awesome Mel Gibson movie. Can't wait to see the noir-er director's cut.

― milo (milo), Saturday, 9 December 2006 00:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't even begin to parse this sentence, gabbneb.

Trivia: When Larry Cohen asked composer Miklos Rozsa to score this picture, Rozsa replied, "God told me not to."

Goofs: Anachronisms: The car in the flashback scenes was a 1951 Chevrolet, with post-1973 New York State license plates and registration. Briefly, it also turns into a 1939 Plymouth, when it hits a pothole.

scene where young, titty-less Keira breaks sorority girl's nose = awesome

ocean's 12 doesn't even have a heist. just slow-mo frenchies doing capoeira and the worst julia roberts shit in the world.

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Saturday, 9 December 2006 08:58 (seventeen years ago) link

no need for those ocean's pics with 'the good thief' out there.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Saturday, 9 December 2006 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link

good thief is so awesome

― a_p (a_p), Saturday, 9 December 2006 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i actually didn't really like ocean's 11 when i first saw it but then i caught it on an airplane and i was all omg this is the treatiest airplane treat ever.

CONTEXT.

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Sunday, 10 December 2006 00:57 (seventeen years ago) link

It is possible to like both Ocean's & love The Good Thief w/out feeling like you're selling yrself short. I'd like to think, anyway.

WHAT IS IT (IT IS AWESOME)

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Sunday, 10 December 2006 07:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw inland empire a couple days ago, completely loved it. it reminded me of 2046 in sort of being a career retrospective -- all the fetishes lovingly revisited, stripped of any pretense to context outside of fetishization -- and a kind of reward for the faithful. (or maybe it's also like rush playing the entirety of 2112 on tour a few years back because they knew at this point anyone coming to see them would want to hear it.) lots of good stuff all through it, but the closing credit sequence deserves some kind of prize all its own.

also finally got around to hana-bi. what a sad little movie.

― tipsy mothra (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 10 December 2006 08:16 (seventeen years ago) link

hana-bi is sad, i remember. kitano's expression never changes in that, does it.

still working my way through past seasons of the wire. i'd seen end of s3 once before, but now i've seen a lot more of what led up to it. just gutted re: stringer bell! that guy was something else

SherryBaby. Meh. I didn't really even like this sort of thing when it was Assayas and Cheung delivering the hurt so good. I'm not flipping out just because Maggie G. shows her tits and pot belly multiple times.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 10 December 2006 09:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I think her pot belly had a heartbeat.

― milo (milo), Sunday, 10 December 2006 09:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Profondo Rosso. It was okay, but it has stuff like literally 20 minute long scenes of some guy wandering around a mansion doing absolutely nothing. Walking up some steps, then down again; brushing some cobwebs out of his way, then staring absently out a window. I can't take interminable shit like that!

― Dan I. (w1nt3rmut3), Sunday, 10 December 2006 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

may i recommend last days, dan i

― v (sleep), Sunday, 10 December 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Coincidentally enough I'm halfway through Profondo Rosso, having only watched suspiria before and I'm finding that its prob half hour too long -- the score keeps me going.

Other ones:

Viridiana. Library borrowings: Moolade (not seen any of Semebene's work before, or any African films i think), The Edukators (great!). TV: The Barbarian Invasions, Uzak (very Tarkovsky-paced Turkish film), Velvet Goldmine (yes I know I've only managed to finally watch this the other day *sigh*).

― xyzzzz__ (xyzzzz__), Sunday, 10 December 2006 17:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I just saw The Shout, too! So much better than I expected.
