Yeah, I love Bloodsucking Freaks. 10/10. One of the few vhs's I ever WORE OUT. It just simply didn't play anymore because I watched that thing a thousand times. A new Tromasterpiece Collection special edition dvd is coming soon, I'll have to buy my 3rd copy.

don't be fuckin with WRATH OF KHAN junior.

what you think chrome nopise tape?

it was really good.great criticism and great colors, if not a bit too melodramatic, but in a good way.

i watched it cause fassbinder says that its like his favorite movie or something.

Disappointing,

zack + miri

:)

YES.

but his actresses are better. maggie cheung = WOW!!!!!

i still have to see "my blueberry nights". it's his first (as far as i know) american production, with american actors.

but fuck yeah in the mood for love is fucking great literature, on film.

Prepare to be disappointed. My Blueberry Nights isn't that great.

Maggie Cheung gives me the fucking bone. She looks so beautiful in that movie, all those dresses...

this

Throw away your books,go out into the streets!.

with a Tokyo Kid Brothers sountrack too!.

S. Darko.

I kinda liked Donnie Darko when it was released but the only good thing about this was the girls.

oh yeah, and it made me listen to that cocteau twins album again.

Transformers.

I didn't bother checking it out when it came out, because I was pretty sure it was going to suck. Now two years later I finally saw it and I was surprised to see that it has really fuck all to do with the the Transformers I remember from my youth. The robots look like piles of scrap, Bumblebee is a Camaro now and Megatron is... what? On top of that, it is cheesy as fuck.

I have this one ahem...ready to be seen. I have the feeling it might just be a pile of crap, but if the soundtrack is good and the girls are nice I could watch it without feeling the need to shut it off.

Does "S. Darko" have the same Christian undertones that the first one had? Just curious.

I didn't even know the first one had any christian undertones.

I didn't know the first one made enough money for their to be a sequel made.

The first one is massive! Nearly everyone I know has seen it and loved it...

To me, Donnie Darko is a bad movie. Never saw the appeal. I watched it about a year after it first came out when some chick I was dating was like "oh my god you have to see this!" and I was like "Meh." Watched it a few times in the years since and just don't really care for it.

i thought donnie darko was fine. infact, i'll go above and beyond and say 'great'.
s. darko isn't worth my sweet time. its not even by the same director, and, besides, samantha was supposedly adopted or something like that in the first one.. so it wouldn't really make sense that her and donnie would share the same 'illness' (whatever the fuck that was.)

Illness. Huh. I thought Donnie was just some placebo-pill-popping unlikeable psychopath with a cool skeleton shirt.

No Maggie Gylenhaal, no reason to watch.

Yeah, I thought it tried to be 'deep' when really there wasn't much to it. And obviously teenagers would buy into it...

I just call it "a surreal, mind-bending film for people who have yet to watch something genuinely surreal and mind-bending". There's nothing wrong with liking it, I'm not trying to dismiss anyone's opinion here; I can see some good qualities in it. Rather, I can see how it would appeal to other people . But certainly anyone that argues it's "deep" is out of their mind. I know a dude who was obsessed with it, who read books on time traveling and shit just to get to know the movie better. I guess in a way, that's pretty cool. A movie getting a guy to read more is a cool thing. I respect Donnie Darko as an idea, I just have issues with it as a movie. I hated all the characters, the ending was laughable (the "Mad World" scene is so cheesy). Just kind of a silly film. Again, no disrespect to anyone who likes it or anything. I just personally do not...

YES! UN CHIEN ANDALOU kicks ass.

Bunuel rules in general. L'Age d'or is one of my all time favorite films.

Helpless

and then..

Well, I loved how they kept counting down between acts without actually saying what they were counting down to. It's also interesting that for a relatively dark story, it's got alot of lighter moments in it-but argueably it would've been completely inpalatable without them...it's guess it's sort of like Nine Inch Nails; if not for Trent Reznor's adolescent ranting, his music wouldn't touch as many fans because it would be too harsh to listen to for a lot of people. It's kind of the point that you don't like the characters; the idea is that everyone's an idiot except Donnie and possibly Gretchen.

One thing that did bother me is that the ending is kinda a paradox because the engine fell on Donnie's room because it was ripped off by the gravitational force of the time portal above Donnie's house. The reason why the hole was created is because Frank's ghost disrupted the space-time continuium (sp?) by leading Donnie out of his home when he was supposed to have been killed...

I don't know; it made me think, it made a lot of people think...and any movie that can do that is a winner in my opinion.

Reason why S. Darko was made:


The kids that love Donnie Darko and aren't too elitist to see it will make it a semi-success.

I just don't think calling your film "S." anything is a good idea.

"What, did they forget the H-I-T?"

Repulsion



I watched this on my own when I was pretty baked and i thought it was brilliant. I've always wanted to see a film like this where paranoia and isolation leads to insanity.

Taxi Driver has paranoia and isolation leading to insanity!

haha yeh so does the shining and a few other films but the way this film did it was really simple and effective. Watch it!

EDIT: I guess the shining had other factors too but you get what i mean.

1. Notorious - I liked it a lot.
2. Laid To Rest - was shit so I shut it off.
3. Humanoids From The Deep - is a classic, so I watch it when it gets hot.

For some reason I love it. Always have.

Funny Games...that was a coo movie..

For like the 5th time:

8/10

which one. I (surprisingly) liked the American 'remake' better.

Yeah I watched the American remake.
