james cameron is indeed a hammy fuck.
|
keeping it simple has to be a troll...no way can someone think fleet foxes is the best band of the decade and herzog a "contrived" filmmaker among every other terrible opinion/assertion he's aired...i think its safe to ignore this person from now on
|
i saw bergman's the virgin Spring
wow. 9/10. i need to see more bergman. this was my 6th film of his. |
Fuck yeah fugazifan. Bergman is amazing. That film rules.
WILD STRAWBERRIES, SEVENTH SEAL, and especially PERSONA are fucking amazing. |

i have THE HOUR OF THE WOLF ready to be watched. needs a good time slot cuz it starts very slow and i could snooze. max von sydow and liv ullman with here strange eyebrows (actually both of them have strange eyebrows). Quote:
FANNY AND ALEXANDER rules fucking supreme. the loooong version. it's like, time flies when you're watching it. also, WINTER LIGHT has some amazing cinematographer by sven nykvist and it's actually a pretty cool story. there's a collection out there of his early stuff and he was great from day 1. check out TORMENT. he didn't direct though he wrote the screenplay and was AD and it's pretty good considering the primitive look & sound. |
I watched this great flick recently called acid visions. It's, um, acidic.. and visionary. Haha. Crazy visual explosion. I uploaded it for someone with an OOP Godard vhs. Anyone want a link?
|
yes please
|
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WXU73I26
it's about 460mb. the godard thing is AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN DECEMBER, really fascinating, one of his most beautiful works. ACID VISIONS is 35 minutes of just pure insanity. probably the craziest visuals you'll see. enjoy! |
what's the out of print godard vhs? is it included in the download
|
yes
JLG/JLG:AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN DECEMBER with subs The quality is actually really good, even though the file size is a bit small. The film is pretty short too. |

i really wanna see the new bad lieutenant for some reason.
|
I can think of a few reasons.. herzog. And Nicolas Cage in a crazy performance. I mean, have you seen Deadfall? If it's even half as crazy as his performance in that.. then, fuck!
Since it only came out on 35 screens, looks like I'll be watching it online.. |

downloading then, thanks tonnes(that's the metric equivalent of the american ton, it weighs more so you know i mean it) |
no prob
if anyone has nouvelle vague or the alphaville sequel (germany 90 years later i believe it's called), lemme know. especially if someone can put that shit on discs for me. I have everything else he's done except for some of his shorts, I have almost all his major works though. My girlfriend bought me EVERYTHING IS CINEMA: THE WORKING LIFE OF JEAN LUC GODARD for xmas, yay! |
adam have you seen Mind Game? [the anime i posted a couple pages back]
|
no, I definitely need to. I have been really slacking on anime in the past year. will queue it right now.
|
oh fuck it's not on n-flix, hmp
|
its on youtube, in parts, but it looks good and its subbed
|
|
fuck yeah i'm there
|
wow this movie is fucking crazy! yes!!!!
|
haha, thought it'd be up yr alley
|
I like both Herzog, and Cameron. The thing is though, Cameron hasn't made anything worth watching since T2, while Herzog appears to still be at the top of his game.
The two couldn't possibly be more different in style, and it's quite provocative that they are being pitted against each other. Herzog's greatest strength is the realism that he brings to his films, even when capturing the most extraordinary events; and Cameron's Avatar looks like a goddamn video game. EDIT: Yeah, I know I'm late...as usual. |
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to davenotdead again.
good pick on the movie and thanks for sharing. |
mind game - 8/10

So when you slag off James Cameron and Fleet Foxes you're not being a troll? Way to go with the brazen hypocrisy. |
![]() hollywoodland narf. it didnt catch the noir atmosphre I was looking for 6/10 |
Quote:
Are you and the other Herzog fanboys normally this volatile, throwing apoplectic fits whenever someone has the "temerity" to criticise the man you laughably deify? |
Quote:
Maybe Herzog should've directed it, eh? :D |

i love bergman. i have seen six of his films seventh seal, persona, virgin spring, wild strawberries the magician and silence. all are amazing but that is kind of the order of my favorites, the first row being a tie. i was going to take out cries and whispers for the weekend, but im taking onibaba and tout va bien instead. i really doubt tha i will have the time to see scenes from a marriage and fanny & alexander in the near future. but i definitely need to see more bergman... |

love herzogs work. another suggestion: polanski hahaha, after chinatown it must have been ace! |

all I gotta say is wtf? what happened and what didn't happen. otherwse....entertaining! |
Quote:
Related to this, yeah, Bergman rules, but I've only had the chance to watch 2 or 3 of his "classics". My university library however has a good chunk of them in stock, including the full 5 hour versions of both Fanny and Scenes, and seeing as I actually have a lot of free time right now, I was planning to put aside the time to watch the full version of at least one of them. My question is, which? (Note that Scenes has the benefit of being the Criterion edition, while Fanny is only the reportedly kind of rough Artificial Eye version, although seeing as I'll be watching them on my tiny TV in my uni bedroom, I guess it doesn't really matter too much about audio/video quality...) |
Quote:
Herzog and other directors of his ilk don't appeal to me. I just intuitively know I won't enjoy watching their movies as much as a narrow circle of pseud cineastes. It's interesting to read about "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans", especially Abel Ferrara's angry reaction to it. He's quoted as saying "As far as remakes go, … I wish these people die in Hell. I hope they're all in the same streetcar, and it blows up." |
Quote:
Yeah! One of the main reasons I'm anticipating this so much (Herzog aside) is that I hope it's a return to Cage as an actor I love, as opposed to a sign that you should probably read the reviews very carefully before you watch a movie. To quote Ebert in his review of Bad Lieutenant (which has made me even more psyched for it): "He's a fearless actor. He doesn't care if you think he goes over the top. If a film calls for it, he will crawl to the top hand over hand with bleeding fingernails." And therein' lie the genius of his great performances, like in, say, Raising Arizona. |
