but Herzog as a personality can be tough to take sometimes.

He seems cool, I'd hang with him

I watched

Fear of a Black Hat (uh this has aged terribly)
Baller Blockin' (UH...)

conversely, Herzog the man has an archetypical "good father" resonance in our household.

Yeah, that's why I say "sometimes". Sometimes he's patronly, other times he's just patronizing.

they both strike me as madmen, Fitzcarraldo is just more dapper

but anyway, nevermind the redundant, I just liked Aguirre a lot better

absolutely. too much monkeys!

fitzcarraldo and aguirre are both great but guy's made 50+ movies and only 8 (i think) are scripted - what of the documentaries?

great piece on him in last month's harper's inspired the white diamond viewing - he came off a lot better than expected. of course i've always placed him somewhere in the evil genius spectrum.

"Can a Michael Winner film be 'awesome'?"

um, hello, *the mechanic*, *death wish*, *the sentinel*?

anyway, scorpio is just cool 70's mayhem. is it great? no. highly entertaining though.

oh i see lessons in darkness and my best fiend were uh mentioned there. my best fiend is fun if yr into kinski (waaaaay better than the autobio) but doesn't really have the usual herzog juice.

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:29 (seventeen years ago) link

c'mon it's a "greatest hits"
check out Herzog's largely fictitious documentary "Gesualdo: Death for 5 Voices" and there's a 3-in-1 doc dvd of a ski jumper, a cattle auctioneer, and the last man on a volcanic island about to blow you must see.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:30 (seventeen years ago) link

piratebay is apparently a treasure trove of the guy

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:32 (seventeen years ago) link

the sentinel is must-see, every single scene has something impossible going on. plus, epic casting.

― milton parker (milton parker), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:35 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, just realized for the first time, the woman playing beverly d'angelo's corrupt lesbian lover is sylvia myles from andy warhol's heat

― milton parker (milton parker), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:37 (seventeen years ago) link

the last man on a volcanic island about to blow you must see.

yes!!! i was searching for the name of that one. it's awesome. totally awesome.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a great scene in "La Soufriere" in which Herzog is being chased around by clouds of deadly poison gas. Good fun.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:56 (seventeen years ago) link

wow at doc box!!

― amon (amon), Saturday, 16 December 2006 03:02 (seventeen years ago) link

He's also v funny in Werner Herzog eats his shoe.

Even Dwarves Started Small is mandatory.

― walterkranz (walterkranz), Saturday, 16 December 2006 03:36 (seventeen years ago) link

BTW I chose my daughter's pediatrician out of a big list simply because her name is Dr. Herzog.

― scott seward (121212), Saturday, 16 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

wassup rockers and ken park are kinda meh, bully is the masterpiece.

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Saturday, 16 December 2006 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i thought wassup rockers was fun. i can't imagine that it was intended to be anything but fun.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Saturday, 16 December 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i liked lots of wassup rockers. but seriously janice dickinson and the hollywood party were difficult to watch.

one of my best friends was clark's personal assistant on Another Day In Paradise

― jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 16 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

on another note, my coworker just told me that his wife just finished working on http://www.youregonnamissme.com/ the Roky Erickson documentary and is in plans to get it on DVD soon.

― jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 16 December 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw that in september. it's really really really good.

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Sunday, 17 December 2006 02:53 (seventeen years ago) link

wow at doc box!!

Yeah, and only $200 USD before shipping. Worth it though, and Herzog would probably sanction bank robbery to fund its purchase.

werner was hilarious in julien donkey-boy

OTM, the scene where he tells his son he looks just like his dead mother, then browbeats him to put on one of her dresses and dance with him, that's cinema gold right thar.

Even Dwarves Started Small is mandatory.

Also OTM, although it's tested some friendships after I popped it in.

Herzog's Fata Morgana is also great. If you're not stoned it'll sure make you feel like you are.

Cobra (omgwtf; also, the car chase in a 1950 Mercury Custom = inspiration for Miller/Darrow's Hard Boiled??)

"Because of the detachment in the direction the much-vaunted S&M sequences are restricted to a couple of scenes with Beacham either trussed up on the floor or strapped to her bed by Brando with rope. It says something about the film that these scenes are more exciting when read about about than actually witnessed."

I'll be the judge of that!
