I'm relieved by two things: 1) my wife is a huge Lynch fan and 2) we watched it in the daytime rather than right before she goes to sleep.

paris je t'aime. last wednesday.

it was kinda lame, ok i guess. my favorite part was the coen brothers'.

I couldn't sleep last night and I watched Requiem for a Dream. I've seen it a hundred times but it was still good.

A Clockwork Orange
Fight Club

hm what was it? OH YES! the first werner herzog feature. starts sleepy but then WOW the awesomeness

Don't read into it. I am the exception.

The Untouchables

...i was trying to watch this:



but i got bored after a 10 minutes of no soundtrack other than the sound of a projector running and a half an hour before there's any dialogue... i want to watch it again sometime, but i'd have to be in the right mood.

Die Hard 4

This Is England
Before The Devil Knows Your Dead
And Now The Screaming Starts!
Asylum

It says last movie, not last movies. Unless you watched them all at once...

fuck do you care? haha.
those were the last movies i've watched.
should i wait until tomorrow to post the second one?
or Christmas to post the third?
i post them all at once, because i saw them all yesterday.

get on Alex's Trip's back while you're at it.

But you get a good post count that way!

i want to be the oldest member with the lowest post count.

Then stop replying to my shameless attempts to up my own post count!

I just watched the 1924 Soviet film Aelita Queen of Mars, which was based on a Tolstoy story and may have been the first interplanetary science fiction movie ever. It was pretty cool, even if watching a silent film is a chore by today's standards. The ending features a propogandist Bolshevik revolution on Mars, but as is often the case with movies from that era it kind of satarizes the revolution under the noses of the Soviet censors at the same time. Really amazing sets and costumes which clearly had a huge influence on visions of the future to follow on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This movie predated Fritz Lang's Metropolis by three years, so it may even have influenced him. The cityscapes are certainly similar.

Ernest Saves Christmas is on in about 20. I'm hoping to watch that. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. It was a frequent christmas movie for myself that I'd watch on a ratty old vhs copy from the tele that I taped one year as a kid.

Wild Wild West

The Will Smith one?

The Abominable Doctor Phibes:


Yay! Vincent Price!!

Surviving Christmas.

Was cool. No doubt it'll be a yearly dvd viewing around this time.

Ulrich Mühe is superb as always.
Highly recommended.

Saw Rescue Dawn the day before. Not bad, but the patriotic ending was unnecessary.

Haha yeah, it was on TV. It wouldn't really be my choice movie to watch, but my friend but it on.

Today I watched some movie I'd never heard of with Uma as some kind of super hero. It was bad.

Shrek the Third. Funnier than I expected.

i thought this would be the perfect "christmas" movie



but what a fucking bore. formations and military marches. sure, the crazy speeches provide some measure of disgusting entertainment, but the calls for obedience get repetitive to the point of nausea. for shame!

Life Is Beautiful. Pretty good, Roberto is the kind of guy I'd like to hang around on a regular basis.

^^ have you seen his role in night on earth? i laughed until purple.

No, but I will now :) I loved his role, albeit a short one, in Coffee And Cigarettes.

otherwise known as "The Lives of Others"
great film indeed

Constantine........meh

yesterday i watched the nightmare before christmas, reminded me why i love it.

then idle hands, still hilarious.

Just got back from Atonement, except for one problem I thought it was very good. That one problem was Keira Knightly; whatever the heck is wrong with her it has resulted in the physic of a lanky pre-pubesent boy, that made the sex scene rather disturbing.

This movie fucking blew my mind off. I highly recommend this one.

Sweeney Todd

just got back from seeing this at the Ziegfeld.

in a word: this movie is 'charming'
despite the expected blood and the darkness and the slashings, it's charming through and through.
the songs worked well on-screen and Burton's direction was perfect
and helped tell the story in a smooth and visually stunning way. great acting all around.
the last shot is still in my head.
beautifully done.

Yeah, I watched some of this on Christmas. Although I wasn't really watching (I was trying to nap) I laughed a bit.

Good to hear. I want to see it, Johnny is sexy.

Alien vs Predator which was better than I expected it to be

Death at a funeral.
The ending seemed, like, "too fast", but it's a pretty nice and fun movie.
alan tudyk is great. And there's "Spud" in it aha ha.

''I'm Not There''

I liked it. The cinematography was excellent and the acting was done well also. I appreciatted how Todd Haynes didn't just stick to one person playing the life of Dylan and went towards the approach of an amalgamy of his attitudes and persona's. One of the best films of '07
