Cahiers du Cinema de Noize

...does LED ZEPPELIN DVD count as cinema??

The Unknown - I got waybaked and watched this fucking CREEPY silent 1927 Lon Chaney movie the other night while playing banjo in an empty house with all the lights off, good times.

re: Spielberg, I also watched ET the other day, which was way better than I remembered it, but there was that one scene where they photoshopped walkie-talkies into guys' hands in place of guns, and it was like, wtf.

Goddammit, I saw this was on but had to watch Coup de Torchon before it went back to the library. So no songs for Steve?

PPL, PLS STOP 'GETTING BAKED' BEFORE WATCHING GOOD FILMS

xpost - least noize post evar

I'm guessing I'll be the only one.

CHRISTMAS PUTS ME IN MOOD FOR GORE.

that is all.

Well yeah, that could only improve...

Sorry mark, I don't mean to be a dick, but i'm just using as a model pothead friend who likes ANYTHING stoned. I've also never known any weedies who are more interesting when hiii.

Anyone else keep expecting every male cast-member to come out of the closet?

saw chronicles of narnia -- great. saw inside man again -- all the parts that are about nyc (conversations b/w cops, translating the wiretap, etc) are great, the heist stuff only soso. saw kiss kiss bang bang -- no. i'm not willing to cede any possibility of cleverness to "la culture," at least not in that vernacular. saw children of men tonight -- so so so fucking good. the best made movie i have seen in a very long time. it was bizarrely such a director's statement. and clive owen is so goddamned good that i'm almost ready to forgive him for i'll sleep when i'm dead. also got an hdtv and an hd dvd player that came with king kong so the good hour and a half of that, too. dude who plays the vain movie star who's the coach on friday night lights is awesome. let's get him more work.

NOW FOR STARSHIP TROOPERS. YESSSSS.

Also the fact that the decent-ish guy dies FIRST so we are expected to root for the sexist douchebag frat boy??

And you know, if ONE of the female characters hadn't been an unrealistically hot sex object that spent most of her time naked and/or screaming, that would have been cool too.

that's why it's great!!!

I personally loved Hostel, but probably would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't known going in A) who Eli Roth is, and B) what kind of movies he makes, ie had just assumed it was National Lampoons Amsterdam Vacation and not known it was eventually to become screaming maiming cannibalism fun-time hour.

Next: Pirates of Caribbean 2 with fam, Barton Fink, Dog Soldiers

Yeah, going in expecting SUPER HORROR FUN TIME did detract from Hostel, but my main problems were totally unrelated to that (BORING, kind of offensive to my vagina, etc.). Also Cabin Fever was major lulz and this was not funny at all???

'kontroll' - good but not great, it slows down a bit when it starts to focus on the lead dude's half-hearted hunt for the killer and his attempt at romance with the admittedly awesome girl in the bear costume. it reminded me a lot of that weird franke potente slasher film 'creep', which takes place in the london underground.

I kind of forgot about Talledega Nights. I basically liked 2 parts, Mos Def as a racing fan, and the thing about Jesus singing lead for Skynyrd and dude was hammered drunk in the front row. The rest wasn't exactly UNfunny, but not really funny either.
