I am going to watch Inception for the first time shortly*, big bastarding HD and 7.1 surround. I am looking forward to it, I might even break my abstinence and have a bottle of red with it... and a spliff, and maybe a few of those tramadol I have left.


(*well, first time I have given it my 100% undisturbed attention)

Might do the same actually.

Well I wouldn't say it's shit but I would say it was a fairly big disappointment, meh.

Went back to page 1 and saw parson recommended The Mist... good stuff! definitely worth watching if you enjoy sci-fi / horror, i really enjoyed it... stirred up quite a few emotions

i loved funny games. and i love most haneke films.

haven't seen the american version yet.

ha.

3 years later i don't love haneke anymore.

i was just gonna bring up petra von kant. not one of my favorites personally. seeing her be such a whiny bitch the whole movie kinda gets on my nerves. visually stunning though. like klimt
and i can imagine the turmoil. the precision his people work with to get things done so well with one take is incredible. you'd have to be a drill sergeant to get people to become personal robots for you.

edit: 13 moons, and fox and his friends were more soul-crushing to me
seeing that cow flit around, dangling from its hindlegs, gushing crimson, and screaming bloody murder had a lot to do with why i do not eat cows anymore

actually, the most heartbreaking one is ali. brigitte mira is too amazing.

What did you think of The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant? I actually picked that up for my gf on a whim(she's a fashion designer), wow...that film was soul-shattering for me. It's one of his films that shows, with no small amount of clarity, how much turmoil there must have been actually working with Fassbinder. There was a story about how Chinese Roulette was filmed by Fassbinder making all cast and crew live in some very remote chateau, and then proceeded to go into some serious psychoanalysis of these people, just for added intensity on film.

It's hard not to reconcile imagining Fassbinder the person, with any of his films, and for that, I love him.

edit:

sirk wasn't half as flamboyant, which is how fassbinder could make such blatant swagger-jacking work so well

That's a good way to put it

this thread is weird. i barely remember those movies.

[Motorway to Roswell]

Heartbreaking film.

[apmje]

^ Love that film...bomb scene. O.O

[firky]

Heartbreaking film.

Best anti-war film ever imo.

Got this on the dl. Looks awesome, reminds me the Vengeance Trilogy meets Battle Royale.

let me know what you think of it. it's not the avarage revenge movie so i hope you don't have the wrong expectations.

Predators. I've been putting this one off after the AVP films because they were so fucking bad that it actually hurt, this howver wasn't so bad, I feel Brody was maybe miscast though.

[kingldub]

The Last Exorcism

What a fucking joke, seriously, this is a total mess of a movie, hilariously bad.
