I just watched ten minutes of '3 Fast 3 Furious' or whatever the fuck it's called.
|
that one scene in inland empire of laura dern running down that curving ramp or whatever up into an extreme close-up bugs me out every fucking time
|
i just watched he wrestler...rourke at the deli was great!...rourke overall was really good...and i think i liked the movie...ill give it some time...but fuck,i feel like aronofsky too easily lapses into melodrama and this is a weakness in most of his films...thats why i think pi is his best because there is nothing melodramatic or cliche (in terms of storytelling; not style, technique, etc.) about it

HeHe. Incase it hasn't been posted yet.
For anyone interested in the LOTR trilogy and low-budget independent filmmaking. It was released online a few days ago and apparently only cost 4.500 grand to make. I'm having a good laugh... ![]() About The Hunt For Gollum is an unofficial not for profit short film by a group of enthusiast filmmakers.

Amen brother. I thought the Wrestler was pretty good but I didn't realize it had this huge following behind it until recently. It's not THAT good. It's just the Jake "The Snake" segments from Beyond the Mat expanded upon. Requiem for a Dream is amongst the worst films I've ever seen in my life. I don't like Aronofsky. Pi is pretty good though. I just watched something called COMMA, PREGNANT PAUSE. Some weird art film about cell phones. Features a scene where a guy dressed as a cell phone stares at the sunset and recites every Pokemon character. Kinda shitty. |
Requiem for a Dream wasn't THAT bad. I actually found it to be quite entertaining. It's just overrated by teenage pseudo film buffs.
Same goes for Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko, which I personally believe is excellent. It's not anywhere near one of the best films that I've seen, but it's pretty creepy, has time travel, a great soundtrack, and a wonderful 80's flick feel. |
Requiem for a Dream is awful. Shitty music video editing, awful acting. The only good thing is the soundtrack. SPUN was a much better trashy, nonsensical, MTV drug film.
Donnie Darko, to me, was ruined by the acting and the stupid and silly story. Only saving grace was James Duvall! Just wanted to note, these are opinions I formed long before any kind of cult following developed for those movies. |
Matrix 3 worst movie ever? worse than X men 3? NO WAY!
worse than spiderman 3? NO WAY MAN! worse than darkman 3? NO WAY MAN! I thought the wrestler was very good. cool movie. saw it on a BIG screen at an old theatre in houston. The Beyond The Mat influence is definitely there,. but this was more expanded upon. Not a lot of people have seen Beyond The Mat. very good film. to complain about melodrama in film is ridiculous dude. that is like 99% of ALL films! pure melodrama! |
I said it was AMONGST the worst movies ever. I'd rather watch it than Pirates of the Caribean.
|
I've been thinking lately about early point and click and FMV-based adventure games and how creepy they were.. anyone remember these:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For some reason, those games always creeped me out a lot.... |
![]() Mars Attacks! |
Oh fuck totally forgot about this one...

Saw Gummo for the first time yesterday. That was a solid 90 minutes of "WTF"??? I still have no idea if I liked it or not.
|
You liked it.
Trust me. |

Haha, the only thing good about the Pirate movies is watching Kyra Knightly for a few hours *drool* |
Requiem For A Dream is terrible.
THOUGH I watched it in someone's house when I was terribly drunk and feeling ill... and I don't think watching heroin addicts shoot up is too great when I feel like I'm going to throw my guts up. My friend slept through it, I should have just done that. |

It's weird, because I can't really disagree with you, but there's something I totally love about it as well. And there's parts that scared the hell out of me. I dont know. But yeah, RABBITS was already awesome before the inclusion. |

That's a pretty good little comedy for the most part, though the characters are so unlikeable that I don't watch it very often. The scene with the little kids "YOU SMELL LIKE AN ASSHOLE!" "I HATE FUCKING RABBITS!" is one of the best scenes in any movie, ever, though.. and the soundtrack rules. |
![]() I've been watching this. It's the complete series of his Canadian television show, before MTV had him on their channel. A lot of the best skits were reused for MTV and he got away with a lot more on the Canadian channel. Anyway, totally brilliant. Tom Green is a genius. Highly reccomended. ![]() You know they boned her. |

AHHHHHHHH! |
Buttwoman.
ok, i just watch porn :rolleyes: |
zombies! zombies! zombies!-almost exactly the same as zombie strippers!
|
What just happened?
huge disappointment. From the italian trailer looked like a funny movie, except for a couple performances it's really bad, kinda "the Weatherman gone wrong". |
![]() What an awesome movie! I got it for my daughter, but I think I liked it more than she did :) Someone mentioned Keira Knightley, and it reminded me of this great movie. I'll have to watch it again soon... ![]() |

Attempt at clarification: Aranofsky's stuff falls more on the side side of banal, soap-opera-ish melodrama. Pretty conventional, predictable, laughable, and boring. As opposed to say the (melo)drama in a Herzog flick, which is much more surprising, thoughtful, and....................see...its harder to put a description on this sort of, for lack of a better word, higher melodrama. I tried. |
Quote:
Yerah, I've decided I like it ... it just took a couple of days to sink in. I live in Vermont, for god's sake ... I actually KNOW people like that.:eek: You're right. The soundtrack does kick ass. |
I'd reccomend Giuseppe Andrews's films to you. They're a lot funnier, trashier, have more bizarre characters, but they're still in sort of a Gummo vein. Actually, giuseppe was only going to make one film but Harmony Korine saw it and told him to keep making films so he did. I have 22 films by that dude now.

![]() watched it last night with g/f. I'd seen it before. I'd hit it at 6.5/10 |
![]() nothing to add |
|
Yeah, American Movie is one of my all time favorites as well.
Have you seen Mule Skinner blues? It's pretty similiar.. though not as good obviously. |
I just made a new scissor shock video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEWCohtkP3I I pooped it out in a few minutes using some old drawings and pictures and shit. It's the first time I've ever really worked on video editing. So... time to make a feature length film! |
I just watched Kickin' It Old School.

I'm going to start working on a cartoon soon actually. It's called "graveyard man of the graveyard" (until i can think of a better title). It's going to be a super shitty, MS Painted animation with drone and surf music.
