I did this today. Thanks for informing me of this place, Kmac. Three dollars... my kind of price.

And yeah, this thing completely exceeded my fairly high expectations. Brilliant stuff.

"I just barfed on an anthill."

Cool, I was watching youtube clips of that movie today.

I just downloaded the first couple episodes of Six Feet Under and am thinking about watching them.

Old School
Sooooo... why's this movie so popular, exactly?
I laughed, like, twice.

It's weird that this is from the same director of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain. It's awesome that he challenges himself in every film...what is Ang Lee up to nowadays, anyway?

That's a good question.
It left me disappointed as well.

The scene where Ferrell is running down the street naked was funny. That's about it.

just saw "oceans 13". (it wasn't voluntarily!!!) wasn't bad. had a few good jokes to which only 4 people in the audience responded. by the way, does anyone know if that big casino they had in the film is real?

Luke Wilson doesnt do it for me
but anytime Vaughn speaks, laughter follows

So I loved this.

Matchpoint is okay, but sure as shit the hottest chick in the world can't act worth a damn.

Notes on a Scandal-- this movie fucking rocks, or shall I say, Dame Judi made it rock.

And yes, Cate Blanchett is probably the hottest "ugly" woman, if you know what I mean.

Nobody could've acted well in anything that poorly written.

Watched The Science of Sleep again. I think I'd put this above Brick if we were redoing the poll.

It becomes truly heartbreaking after the hour mark, but I love it all.

Of course we're redoing the poll.
Last year's "mid-year correction" saw "A History of Violence" overcome our initial 2005 winner "Sin City".

Yikes. If that's the potential outcome, maybe we shouldn't redo the poll.

Amores Perros by Alejandro González Iñárritu

i don't like Inarittu. he's using the same trick over and over. and that trick is boring, overdramatic, and predictable. the only part of the film i liked was about that model who lost her leg. the other two stories were pretty weak.


Fat Girl by Catherine Breillat

boring. the whole adolescent sexuality thing was crap and the ending was even worse. way to not being able to make an interesting film and only have a shocking ending for the sake of people going "whoa! that was unexpected, wasn't it?".

'Once' is a sweet little film.

Right there with ya. Great fun from start to finish.
Gotta love Tim Robbins' eager-beaver smile when he first arrives on the scene. It totally sets the tone of the film from that moment forward.
And, of course, Bill Campbell zings thru a criminally underused role.
And who'd've ever thunk Paul Newman would be so good (let alone interested) in playing such a dark, comic role?

Ha, yeah, at first I was like, "Hmm, Bruce Campbell? What's he doing here?" And then I saw that the film was "written by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, & Sam Raimi" and it suddenly all made sense.

speaking of Tim Robbins

What can I say about this movie? I love it. My parents took me to see it in the theatre, I was ten years old at the time. It scared the living shit out of me and left a lasting impression. I finally picked up my own dvd copy of it and watched it this morning when I woke up. It still carries a lot of meaning, emotion and psychological depth to it.

New rule: do not attempt to link impawards photos, or you will be shot.

haha...tjenz to thread.

why didn't you tell me the cheese was this good? still on season 1 and cleopatra has just been introduced. what an indie cutie this actress is. but yea, i was enjoying prior to cleopatra's introduction. good stuff.

I can't see myself enjoying those songs as much as I did outside of that movie.

It's a comedy that's really about one-liners, not scenes or plot, and that flick has a ton of great lines.

that was a good show
great story, violence & sexy

Yeah? I must've missed them. I ain't kidding when I said I laughed twice.
Us Americans really need to re-evaluate our sense of humor. I feel like we're spearheading the charge towards an Idiocracy-based culture whenever I watch something as overrated + unfunny as this.

The Spirit of the Beehive by Victor Erice

great film. sad, but sort of inspiring tale. highly recommend.

Well put. My friends went home and d/l'ed the soundtrack, while I don't have any desire to.

In a nutshell:

- Still pretty damn funny. Andy Kaufman + Christopher Lloyd + Danny DeVito = hilarious.

- Not as funny as I remember. Ah well. Richard Moll + John Larroquette steal the show.

- Funnier than I was led to believe.

- Much better than I had hoped. Great fun! The Doctor is IN!

- Gripping drama with a great cast. Meet the original inspiration for James Bond.

I liked Frodo's one a lot.

kontroll
this was really good. it fit my mood perfectly yesterday. the cast was great and there's something to be said about those with the least liked/respected job in the world and the sense that you can pretty much guess what an odd kinda bunch that they'd be. sweet flick.




dracula, pages from a virgin's diary

i really do respect guy maddin. he does his own thing his way and its not really going to be your blockbuster crowd that's going to 'get' him. still, a little goes a long way for me and while this is only a little over an hour long. it was still too long. can't say i'm a big fan of his work either but i still need to see the shorts.

It got worse as the cranky lady bailiffs kept dying and being replaced. Selma Diamond, Florence Halop, RIP.

Young Torless by Volker Schlondorff

Torless is this young dude (he's in the picture above) who goes to a boys school. He and his friends torment another schoolmate for his theft and in the end Torless leaves them cos he realizes that they're all nazis and it's all bullshit.


Notre Musique by Jean-Luc Godard

surprisingly fairly straightforward film for the late Godard kind of cinema. i rather enjoyed it. he's discussing the similar themes that he used in other films like violence, arts, mortality, morality in his own peculiar Godardian way.

My entire life I have been intrigued by this cover in video stores and it totally delivered

DOG DAY AFTERNOON

The greatest goddamned movie ever made.

I bought this soundtrack strictly for the Silverchair song.
Now y'all know why I'm littering the Lollapalooza thread with pictures of Daniel Johns, et al.

It begins! I've finally bought this last night.

Jean-Pierre Léaud

Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders

meh

omg shut the fuck up already you unbearably pretentious jagoff

Slackmo OTM.

meh

so it's 3:2 so far "meh" sayers vs. "shut the fuck up"s. we're winning!!!

Ha, ha.

I was going to watch The River's Edge last night, but I watched porn instead.

With all the talk of government lies and military industrial complexes, this feels a lot more timely now than it did when it was released. Excellent film all around (with the exception of the grating Costner-Spacek scenes--honestly how many times do we have to see the "you're not spending enough time with your family!" subplot in these types movies?)

No shit. I hate that crap.

And when we do see their wives say things like that the response we have is "give a shit lady he is looking for aliens / murderers etc."

I saw the Helvetica documentary. Good stuff.

The greatest acting of the 20th century.
