i just saw pirates 3...woopee

![]() Thought this was a really good movie. |
It's great. Probably the best film of the year. And probably Bale's best performance too. Although that says a lot, it still doesn't say as much as noting that it's not very often a war-inspired picture comes out and ranks among the very best ever made in the genre. And, of course, it's a true story to boot. Check out Herzog's 1997 documentary, Little Dieter Needs to Fly.

For the sake of some participation, I watched The Parole Officer (2001) yesterday and it was okay with the silly Coogan providing some chuckles. |
i just watched the never ending story 1 and 2 with my gf
god NES2 sucked balls so much, it was terrible and not needed go get raped |
|
only got around to seeing die hard 4 the other day... It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be and at least the action was top notch...
LOOK! A THREE HEADED MONKEY! |

I enjoyed everything except the musical performances on this. Most of those acts leave me bored shitless. Lots of action on the fast forward button. |

![]() saw this last night at a screening in Chelsea. a complete masterwork. a "strong film", as I overheard a group of elderly say on my way out. Daniel Day is something else. extremely powerful performance. and that ending. what an ending.. i thought to myself, "now there's the PTA we know and love." i was waiting for it and got it and it was the perfect ribbon to wrap around the present. a real fucking treat. i don't know why but it reminded me of Kubrick, particularly The Shining. and his direction here is astounding. every aspect of the film is very moving. i think TWBB is Paul's magnum opus. easily. it was so good it gave me a headache. oh, and for what it's worth, this movie is far greater than No Country, in my not so humble opinion. i hate that i'm even making the comparison since they're totally different and good in their own ways, and the whole Oscar thing is irrelevant since the purpose of a movie isn't to have it win an Oscar, but to be a great movie, first and foremost. but if i were to rate them solely on their cinematic merits, i would easily say that TWBB affected me much more strongly and immediately. i felt blessed to have seen it, to have experienced it. and to have Daniel Day and PTA come out after the screening and talk about making it was the fucking cherry on top. a blessing. it's been a while since i've seen an epic film that was of this caliber, that was this good. it's a rarity in cinema nowadays for a movie to evoke the true art of storytelling and, more precisely, the motion picture. truly. this is something else. |
what is PTA?
|
Paul Thomas Anderson.
|
thanks
|
I wonder when all those nice movies will be released in theathers here in italy and how bad will they dub them :( :( :( .....
|
Probably a Christmas movie. Man, I love Christmas movies.

So, I saw "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" today on telelvision. I had heard this film talked about on this message board but never really looked into what the film was. I'm a big fan of well made documetaries and this one was great. I think watching this movie the way I did, not knowing it was affliated in anyway with Sonic Youth, and not really knowing what the documentary was really all about is the best way to discover this film. It becomes that much more of a rewarding experiance. Such a heartbreaking and yet, ultimately fascinating individual and flim.

^I was the same when I saw it at a film festival, which was just a run of films shown at a small cinema in town over a couple of days. I knew he was a musician but nothing else - never heard his music - nada. And I fell in love with his tunes. I'm also into documentaries and can watch something even if I'm not interested in the subject. I bought Deep Throat for $10 the other day - another top documentary.
I bought Scrooged off ebay and it arrived today, so I may very well watch that tonight. Classic. |
in the theaters, it was the new coens "no country for old man", its the best of the year and their career high.
i watched superbad with my girlfriend besides that, my mom and i used to watch the twin peaks season 1 dvd when i was 16, she loved it from the early 90's and i was jsut gettin into lynch, so we bonded over the show, it was nice, anyways, she got me the gold edition twin peaks box set and im watching it over and over, no room for other movies. theres a ton that i wana see tho |
Cashback.
And it's very good. |
not "a movie" but i just finished watching twin peaks, season 2
![]() things fell apart after they discover who *cough* killed laura palmer. the last episode was part cool part disappointing. still enjoyed lots, all around. |
![]() I didn't understand any of it, but it was really really funny! The Rock and Sarah Michelle Gellar were excellent in it!!!!! |

Yeah it supposed to be a bit crazy! If you read the comics it's meant to make more sense. Really wanna see it but the shitty cinema's in Preston show fuck all but the 'big' films. |
seijun suzuki's kagero-za ![]() starts a bit slow and disorienting, but once you become one with its weirdness it becomes so awesome... i just wish i knew more about japanese culture so i'd "get" everything. |
Finally watched History Of Violence. Pretty great, I didn't like just one scene but I won't tell which one it was.
Then watched The Darwin Awards, LAME. |
![]() really good |
I am Legend - digital vampires suck (no pun intended) Couldn't they put makeup on a couple of actors for the close-ups at least?
Now it's time to rewatch OmegaMan with Charlton Heston and watch for the first time, Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price. Vincent Price is everything that horror aspires to be. |

ha ha kidding, he's great. |

he would've appreciated that but made it way funnier. |

Eastern Promises
fukin' A. I'm so glad I dled and watched it in original language instead of paying 7 euros to go and see it lamely (?) dubbed in italian... yeah, go sue me! They should give you the option to listen to the original audio track bringing your own headphones from home(no hygenic issues, no costs for cinemas) with a standard 3.5 mm plug in the seats...that would be great. I'd run my personal theather that way. I bet someone somewhere is already doing that. Sadly not here in my town. |
Adaptation. One of my favorite movies.
|
Sweeney Todd, what an awful movie. God do I hate musicals.
|
I just watched Pan's Labyrinth. Not flawless, but quite good.

What ? According to the cliché gays love musicals :D |
Casino Royale. Twas rather brilliant it must be said.

Moments ago my pregnant wife and I both finished watching Eraserhead for the first time.
We both like Lynch and have seen most of his movies, and she's a big fan, and we knew this was supposed to be among his very creepiest. Nonetheless, if we'd fully grasped the subject matter ahead of time, we might have waited a couple more years... |
That is not a movie for the "expecting" to watch.
One of my top three movies of all time. When I was first getting into it in high school in the mid 80s, my dad was the only person patient enough to sit through the whole thing with me. |
