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. |

So when you slag off James Cameron and Fleet Foxes you're not being a troll? Way to go with the brazen hypocrisy. |

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... |

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...) |

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." |

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. |
