saw 16mm Technicolor print of Powell's The Red Shoes last night at my collector friend Peter's. Hadn't seen it in years. Mindblowing, impossibly beautiful film.

constant gardener (fell asleep)

― dmr (dmr), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

constant gardener is strictly for middle-aged couples who only see one movie a year and barely pay attention to that one.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

the edge (satisfyingly twisting and absurd with underlying republicanism)

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i liked constant gardener

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I totally checked out after the scene where he looked into her old house, started crying because of past memories and then began FURIOUSLY GARDENING

rakin' leaves with a vengeance

― dmr (dmr), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:58 (seventeen years ago) link

what else do you expect a constant gardener to do??

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

constant gardener was shit. during the first 1/3 of the movie i was hoping for taut int'l spy thrills but it turned out to be all about the grieving fiennes. blah.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i fell asleep too

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

...right around the time she got murked. so the rest was gardening? was she making it w/the black guy? i can't remember.

I watched The Transporter 2 last night. But i fell asleep before the end! I totally don't know what happened to the Transporter and the deadly matthew modine virus!!!! I'll have to check it out again tonight. i STILL don't believe that someone could fly a car from one parking garage to another or fly a jet ski from the ocean to a school bus on the highway. but, you never know, he is very good at transporting things...

― scott seward (121212), Friday, 22 December 2006 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

he transports the viewer into an exciting world of action, for instance

― bohren un der club of gear (bohren un der club of gear), Friday, 22 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

was she making it w/the black guy? i can't remember.

The black guy was gay, that's about all I remember about the movie. That and the colors were wildly oversaturated in post.

do Ethan Hawke haters also dislike Randy Newman?

― nuneb (nuneb), Friday, 22 December 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Ethan Hawke gets better with age, whereas Randy Newman started that age.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 22 December 2006 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

DVD borrowings: Capote, Joan of Arc (the 'Messenger' Besson version), Hidden (for the extras as well as to see it again).
Xmas DVD buys: Merchant of Four Seasons, Hiroshima Mon Amour and another one wrapped up under the tree for tomorrow.

Saw Starship Troopers special edition DVD for $10, definitely going back for it after the holidays!

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Saturday, 23 December 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

also watched 1 episode of 30 Rock last night. That show is not funny.

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

although I might just feel guilty because Tina Fey was wearing a shirt I own in the first third of the episode.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Saturday, 23 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I like Randy Newman cept his harmless cartoon themes.

Dementia 13
The Departed (about the best we can expect from Scorsese by now, sigh)

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 23 December 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to watch another ep (I just watched the pilot) before I give up on it, but no smiles were cracked. :( xpost

yeah i've sorta lost interest but i'm sticking with it

just finished watching The Rundown. Lovely film. Classic Rosario Dawson. Classic Rock. What more do you need?

― scott seward (121212), Sunday, 24 December 2006 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

my expert opinion on art school confidential - that jody made me watch last nite - taken from the drunk thread on ile:

okay, yeah, that wasn't very good. it starts out with promise! goofy art school/college premise! the smart-ass friend had promise. the dude from my name is earl had promise. but it just...i don't know, deflates. the murder thing, the cop thing, eh, kinda sad really. ends up not being very funny and not that great a story. and the ending is just horrible. i had high hopes for it at the beginning when it looked like it was just gonna be a rip on art school. reminded me of philly. and malky's whole speech was a great intro: "you should just drop out and go to banker school or website school". oh well.

-- scott seward (skotro...), December 24th, 2006.

plus, it wasn't even biting/savvy/cutting enough about art school! the kinda cursory gallery/beatnik chick/school observations were pretty lame. it was a comic, right? maybe that had more depth.

-- scott seward (skotro...), December 24th, 2006.

plus plus, you don't really know ANYTHING about anybody. it's so broad. which works fine if it's slapstick or completely non-linear or if a movie just LOOKS cool, but this movie was completely story-based, and nobody was really anybody, just blank canvases ironically enough.
