no yeah. that's it. there is no "s", haha. i have to say i haven't seen lolita vibrator torture. i'm really new to the japanese horror/exploitation/slasher stuff... what is the cream of this crop?


just saw Eastern Promises again. its so very good. its succinct. not a wasted second in this movie. perfectly paced. beautifully shot. i love the ending

atsonicpark 04.23.2010 03:57 AM

J-Splatter/Exploitation? There isn't really that many worth going after, surprisingly... I guess SPLATTER: NAKED BLOOD, CRAZY LIPS, RAMPO NOIR, and EVIL DEAD TRAP would probably all be worth checking out... LOVE EXPOSURE is pretty funny, it's 4 hours of panty shots and kung fu..

best fight scene ever

I'm a big big Henry Fonda fan but your pic isn't showing. I'm guessing, you mentioning him playing a bad guy, that it's Once Upon a Time in the West. Right?

chicka 04.23.2010 10:03 AM

 


only an actor as good as he was could have pulled it off

batreleaser 04.23.2010 10:10 AM

I've heard rumors about an Eastern Promises sequel, true?

Finally saw "Un Prophet", fucking amazing.

He was the most verstile of all the great Western actors for me; leagues ahead of John Wayne and, while I love Jimmy Stewart, he could never ever do a baddie in the way Fonda could - just as Eastwood could never play a flat out good guy. As well as being a brilliant actor, Fonda also had this thing with his eyes, where he could go from being the gentlest of characters to the coldest. Supposedly, for OAaTitW, he put in brown contacts, to disguise his blue eyes, but Leone had him take them out, thinking his blue eyes were far more chilling. Leone was definitely right.

I watched about an hour of The Aviator. Man, that sucked. The last good (decent) movie I watched was probably Pitfall by Teshigahara. God bless Criterion for putting out this kind of shit it's best available presentation. (Even though they really botched "Branded to Kill" and "Withnail and I.")

Yeeeeeeah. BRANDED TO KILL deserves a beautiful remaster job. What an amazing film.

Adventure land was a million times better than I would have expected. Jesse Eisenberg is the real deal, and who knew the Twilight hottie had acting chops?

I know. I was expecting a dumb comedy like Nick & Norah or something. This was actually really well written, and the 80's theme wasn't in yr face over the top. It felt real. Jesse is generally awesome (did you see Squid & The Whale?). And Kristen Stewart is fantastic. She just gets overlooked becuz Twilight seems so stupid to ppl. But before that she was in some films I saw (Into The Wild, Speak) and she was great. I was a fan of hers by the time Twilight was getting hyped. So whatever. Anyway, I loved it. Really really surprised me.

I didnt know that about the contacts...I really love that movie. Everyone is really great in it.

!@#$%! 04.26.2010 01:18 PM

 


a mixed bag. it was terrible, but great at times.

then there was emma stone-- most of her web pictures are a little weird, but here she had the right makeup to make her look really, really pretty

 


the jewish kid, columbus, who the fuck is it? and did they pick him cuz they couldn't get michael cera? he's a lookalike but no way as funny.

I think you mean Jessie Eissenberg who we were just discussing a few posts earlier. Emma Stone is always awesome. She was great in Superbad, and she was the best part of House Bunny.

yeah yeah, him.

emma stone looks lovely in movies. not sure how much she can act but you just wanna keep staring at her.

haven't seen house bunny yet

anyway, the movie-- so fucking talky. especially the first part of the movie-- show, don't tell, motherfucker.

still-- bill murray was hilarious.

Emma Stone looks ridiculously amazing in Zombieland, she's from Scottsdale, AZ, amazing nightlife up there. And Woody was great as always.

Yeah the Squid and the Whale was great. Eisenberg is so ridiculously shitty (as a character), not an actor in that movie, passing off Pink Floyd as his writing, haha. I'm kind of psyched for his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.

noisereductions 04.26.2010 06:30 PM

I loved when he said THE METAMORPHASIS was Kafka-esque. Haha.

batreleaser 04.26.2010 08:30 PM

Haha, yeah his botched versions of his father's lessons is one of the best things about that film.

atsonicpark 04.27.2010 01:30 AM

He also mentions Godard in it! Squid and the Whale is probably the definition of a great indie film. It's short, cheap, to the point, doesn't have any filler, isn't annoying, is fast-paced, unique, and there's lots of depth to it. Doesn't try to be anything it's not, doesn't have any cliche bullshit, actually has a few things in it you flat out would not see in a "big" movie (little kid wiping cum on lockers). also, can be found at big lots for like $3. amazing film.

atsonicpark 04.27.2010 01:37 AM

anyway...

giuseppe andrews' "The fast" - 9/10

 

holy weapon - 7/10

words dont do justice to how insane this one gets.

I love the Mothman legend. I read/watch everything about it that I can. And to be honest, the thing that bothers me MOST about this movie is that MOTHMAN F./ING CALLS SOMEBODY O NTHE MF'ING PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so stupid. Mothman does NOT! (did not?) TALK!! Argh!

Rob Instigator 04.27.2010 09:08 AM

mothman does not use the phone

noisereductions 04.27.2010 09:13 AM

it gives that impression though. Remember?

Rob Instigator 04.27.2010 09:19 AM

for sure, in the shit movie. I was just backing ya up cuz the "real" tales of mothman involve no phone!

ooooooooh right right

...are you into the legend?

Rob Instigator 04.27.2010 10:38 AM

I have read about the Mothman since I was in 7th grade (20+ years ago)
and when I first read about it it creeped me out bad! I would not look out windows at night man!

Dr. Eugene Felikson 04.27.2010 11:06 AM

I know nothing of this so-called Mothman or his prophecies. Please explain guys.

OMG same here. When I first read about it I was like 19 and living alone in a shack in the middle of this huge farm field. (seriously) and I saw these drawings of so called witness accounts. And it creeped me out soooooo bad. I'd go out to have a cigarette at night, and I'd feel like Mothman was in the woods. Of course I was in MA, not VA -- but I figured who knows? Dude could do some traveling.

Like this???

noisereductions 04.27.2010 11:29 AM

Dr. Eugene, I just noticed yr from Detroit. i don't know why I never realized that before. But that adds up. No wonder yr so into Esham. And that explains why you like ICP. (Guy.)

I think I'm going to watch Candyman again today. Maybe that'll help me write a movie that doesn't suck.
