Stalker is great. I've watched it 3 times. It is good in ways I can't really describe, it is good in ways I don't think words have been invented for yet. Kinda reminds me of a (great) Herzog film in the way that you can watch it all and really love it but not really know what to say about it afterwards. Has a beauty and poignancy that is hard to understand... elements at work that are difficult to talk about in conventional words and with conventional logic. If someone were to ask me why I liked it, I probably couldn't tell them. So, it's magical in a way.. completely took me to realms I've never seen in another film before.

I am going to re-watch this with my girlfriend tomorrow:
 


Even though it's nearly 4 hours long, I don't think we'll have any trouble watching it, since it's the best film I've ever seen in my life. I hope she agrees.

Love that trilogy! Difficult to choose, but Blanc is my favorite one of the three.

I thought it would be more enthralling, but it's a nice solid movie.

how did you watch two movies in just two hours! hehe

atsonicpark 06.02.2009 10:24 AM

Ah, I was in the middle of scalps when I made the post above it. They were both pretty short though (scalps was barely over an hour).

I have about 40 movies on my desk I haven't watched yet, not even kidding...

phoenix 06.02.2009 10:28 AM

that is nuts. and I bet you'll watch them within two weeks :P

slacker is an amazing movie. love it.

Rob Instigator 06.02.2009 01:12 PM

I enjoyed slacker a lot. it is a slice of life, but my favorite part is the guy wityh the bullhorn atop his car talking about the arabs and the israilies getting it on.

it reminds me a lot of austin (obviously, having been filmed there) but not in a good way.
I really hated living in austin.

gualbert 06.02.2009 01:34 PM

I think I've watched this movie.
Isn't Ed Hall performing in it?
Too bad there's no Cherubs or Crust!

For a minute there, I thought you were going to trash it like you did with that movie about Xenia. :-)

atsonicpark 06.02.2009 01:49 PM

I can't believe I'd never seen slacker before today.

That is definitely one of the best films I've ever seen. Nearly everything I love about movies. Especially independant films.. All the dialogue was amazing. I mean, geez, that 5 minute scene in the bookstore talking about JFK books? With non-professional actors not flubbing a single line or stuttering once... just amazing.

noisereductions 06.02.2009 02:21 PM

DELETED cuz I was thinking of the wrong movie.

LifeDistortion 06.02.2009 05:24 PM

30 Days of Night. Pretty cool vampire flick. I'm pretty easy on vampire flicks, even average ones are enjoyable for me. Same with zombie movies.

nice nice. funny. decently shot, decent photography, decent cast, more than you can expect for this kind of flicks most of the times ehehe.
not as funny as slither, but some good laughs in this one too he he.

al shabbray 06.03.2009 03:07 AM

looks..."nice"

atsonicpark 06.03.2009 03:54 AM

I hate Feast and Feast 3 but Feast II is one of the best films ever. Monsters who cum and piss, a baby flying through the air in slow motion for one minute and then landing on his head and brains splattering everywhere, porn stars, midget wrestlers, and more. One of the most in-bad-taste films ever made!

atsonicpark 06.03.2009 03:55 AM

 

tweek city - 7/10

noisereductions 06.03.2009 07:08 AM

FEAST is horrible crap.

nicfit 06.03.2009 08:33 AM

ha ha I love me some horrible crap from time to time.
Feast II and Feast III will be watched soon.

I love b-movies. Troll 2, Slugs, Bikini Summer 2, (the list is f'ing endless, trust me). But Feast does not qualify in the same way. Instead it's a flashy turd that attempts to shock the viewer into thinking they saw something cool.

(Nic, I'm not attacking yr taste, becasue yr my homey. I just hate this movie for some reason!)

atsonicpark 06.03.2009 08:39 AM

 

man, woman, and the wall - 6/10

 

lucker the necrophagous - 5/10 (easily the most ridiculous/weird slasher film i've seen in a while)

Haaa, don't worry, I never take comments on my tastes as personal attacks/fights, to each his own.
Besides, I see what you mean (it's quite clear that they wanted to use some "tricks" to make it look liek a kinda cool/kinda flashy mix of horror cliches).
I think my judgment is affected by the fact that over here there's not much going on in terms of b-movies/fun horror stuff.. So I end up *cough*downlad*cough*ing some almost random things with not much expectations, so due to low expectations I'm hardly disappointed and insomnia makes me easily amused he he.

This movie disturbs me to no end.

"It's name is Quetzalcoatl... just call it Q, that's all you'll have time to say before it tears you apart!"

noisereductions 06.03.2009 11:02 AM

Q: The Winged Serpent ?

Dr. Eugene Felikson 06.03.2009 11:05 AM

Here's the thing: I really wanted to like Feast, but I just didn't. It even had J Mewes, and Henry Rollins in it! That alone, should've been worth the price of admission, especially with them going up against a mob of monsters. Didn't bother checking out any of the sequels.

PS: Slacker RULES!

Rob Instigator 06.03.2009 11:17 AM

so frank sinatra played a sailor in that AND in On The Town, both with gene kelly?

or is that the same movie with a different name?

afterthefact 06.03.2009 11:22 AM

Different movies. On The Town was set in New York (I haven't seen it, but I assume it is, based on the song "New York, New York") and Anchors Aweigh was set in Hollywood.

It is funny that they did two movies that had so many similiarities.
