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.

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.

Kuchar brothers "Sins of the Fleshapoids" (thumbs way up)

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.

― Dan I. (w1nt3rmut3), Sunday, 10 December 2006 22:27 (seventeen years ago) link

all I remember of profondo rosso is the set pieces, esp.. there's one with a child's toy sort of skittering across the floor, right? creepy as hell.

sembene hasn't made too many films.. not surprising for african filmmaker b/c so hard to get funding & lack of infrastructure etc. I recommend xala, though. it's pretty good. funny.

― dar1a g (dar1a g), Monday, 11 December 2006 00:17 (seventeen years ago) link

been a while, but i really loved most everything about prof rosso when i saw it - great atmosphere, david hemmings is like weird/awkward in this awesome way

― 69 (pete), Monday, 11 December 2006 00:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i just saw downfall - best hitler ever.

― j.d. (j.d.), Monday, 11 December 2006 00:54 (seventeen years ago) link

downfall is so good. i gotta see it again.

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Monday, 11 December 2006 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Downfall and Sophie Scholl are next up in my Netflix queue.

First 20 minutes of Candy before I started feeling sick. Junkies are boring anyway.
Since then: hours of tivoed Mythbusters

― milo (milo), Monday, 11 December 2006 01:33 (seventeen years ago) link

How was Heath Ledger?

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 December 2006 02:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Greasy.

― milo (milo), Monday, 11 December 2006 03:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Not much of an impression beyond that. 20 minutes didn't put much of a dent into it - loooong credit sequence, drug setup, intro Geoffrey Rush, me suddenly feel ill.

Geoffrey Rush is chemistry professor/junkie enabler/ecstasy maker who keeps a Spanish-speaking houseboy with "a large penis." Pretty blonde girl is an 'artist' led astray by Leder.

― milo (milo), Monday, 11 December 2006 03:32 (seventeen years ago) link

downfall is awesome.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Monday, 11 December 2006 06:51 (seventeen years ago) link

the best is when they open the ark of the convenant at the end and bruno ganz's face melts off

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Monday, 11 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait a second!

Kontroll totally awesome! Why is it that leather jackets only a mobster/douchebag would wear in US are automatically dirtbag standard awesome issue on Bulcsu & Co? Also, I am glad Bela was not last gasp of subway pusher, he was such a thoroughly good figure I was afraid he was being set up for sacrifice.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ozon's Time to Leave was awful, except for one endearingly awkward threesome scene.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Noize Bored, what should I watch first (after I watch recent episodes of The Wire)?

- The Chronicles of Narnia
- The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
- Rashomon
- Death & The Maiden

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

RASHOMON

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

it would be cool if everybody had a different answer

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Tried to watch a bootleg of Narnia but got quickly bored/frustrated. Maybe just due to bad sound? Should I bother to Netflix?

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't ask me (yet)!

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I really didn't like Narnia. It loses it's charm when you are old enough to realize giving small children weapons isn't really a great idea, even in bizarre Furry/Christian hybrid fantasy worlds.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly!

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Jessie, did you read/like the books? I cut childhood reading teeth on 'em and have big soft spot despite the flaws...but might not extend to Hollywood depiction.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, man, I grew up on those books! It was one of those cases of having my childhood love ruined.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't find the film annoying. The girl who plays Lucy is great; so is Tilda Swinton, in what looked like a wtf casting decision.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Tilda Swinton as White Witch was the least wtf casting ever.

I'm not sure what it was about that movie, it looked good and was well acted and stayed true to the story, but it was just so BORING.

Finally saw Brokeback Mountain, it is well made but I wasn't in the mood or something. Ang Lee, are you trying to drive people to suicide with your dour movies? Even Hulk was over-the-top heart-breaking.

― Dragons (per the previous FAQ answer) (nklshs), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

i keep meaning to rent Narnia, but I can't help but think it'll just be really boring, especially on my small-ass TV.

― grbchv! (gbx), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Tilda Swinton as White Witch was the least wtf casting ever

In the book she's a drag queen! Swinton plays it like Grace Kelly.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah nickalicious is OTM on the boring

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Tilda already played a drag queen in Constantine, tho!

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

not to mention Orlando

― dmr (dmr), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

not to mention orlando!!!! (xp)!!!

i got the 6-disc or whatever narnia at work and i guess i gotta watch it eventually... stoned sunday afternoon?

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

whoa, mindmeld

― dmr (dmr), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Woah wtf 6 discs? Is it the old PBS version or something?

― Dragons (per the previous FAQ answer) (nklshs), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

"or whatever"

― grbchv! (gbx), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link
