The Science of Sleep. It was pretty lovely.

pretty good! liked the way it was shot for the most part (starts w/ this frame flooded with intense yellows) and while this tends to get lost in one's attention as the movie progresses it's still a very deliciously shot film.




I know this would belong to another thread, but since !@#$% brought up the subject of the movie (which I'm anxious for it to show here, mainly because of Alec Baldwin :o)
I finished reading the book RUNNING WITH SCISSORS some months ago from a friend in New York. I didn't enjoy it that much. It's an insane thing, and thinking the guy really lived through that well...But I don't think Augusten Burroughs is such a good writer (c'mon, he was compared to WILLIAM Burroughs), as the characters don't look human, they lack a motivation or something. He seems just an observer (which in fact he was). Maybe he didn't process all of that shit completely or enough to make it deeper. Well I shouldn't complain, at least he went on when most of us would collapse. Anyway as I said, I'm looking forward to the movie.

Last movie I saw was BLOOD DIAMOND. Only thing I'll say: why Djimon Hounsou was nominated for Best Supporting Actor while Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated as Best Actor (which I disagree, he should have been nominated for THE DEPARTED not this film).
Maybe because Djimon Hounsou is black and is not such a star as DiCaprio is. Because the main character is Hounsou's not DiCaprio's. Well Hollywood.

Science of Sleep...a real cool film

Silent Dan Speaks 02.21.2007 11:40 PM

Play it Again, Sam.

I must watch more Woody Allen movies. I loved it.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

jon boy 02.22.2007 04:00 PM

ghost world

another brilliant zwigoff-clowes film.
ties with "crumb".

toxic johnny 02.23.2007 02:15 AM

Inland Empire.... - monumental
The Science Of Sleep... - sublime

jon boy 03.29.2007 05:51 AM

i watched schindlers list last night for no reason in particular.

Iain 03.29.2007 06:09 AM

Watched Inland Empire and it was, as toxic johnny stated, monumental. 3 hours genuinely flew by and it was, at times, a bit terrifying.

Torn Curtain 03.30.2007 10:15 AM

La Mome. Not bad.

Tokolosh 04.28.2007 03:00 AM

I watched Babel last night. Good movie, but I wasn't to keen on seeing Pitt and Blanchett amongst unknown actors. They stuck out like hamburgers on a persian carpet, which spoiled the movie is a way. Loved the japanese story the most, and the soundtrack was great.

If (like me) you sometimes enjoy watching films where very little happens, then it's pretty ood. My very favourite in the films-wherevery-little-happens category is the Iranian The Wind Will Carry Us, which I would highly recommend.

The last film I watched is Canada's greatest, Jesus of Montreal.

Tokolosh 04.28.2007 03:55 AM

Thanks. I'll look out for that Iranian film.

How's life Hip?
Don't see you much on the forum anymore.

Hip Priest 04.28.2007 04:01 AM

I know. I've just been very busy and very tired, but things are really good. I'm trying to be online more. How about yourself?

We might be rewatching "24 Hour Party People" tonight.

Tokolosh 04.28.2007 04:45 AM

I'm fine thanks. We've been having really nice weather lately. I'll be going for a stroll throught the woods today. Have a nice weekend. :)

pbradley 04.28.2007 05:02 AM

Just finished watching Taxi Driver again.

Made me want to lift some weights (a rare feeling).

noumenal 04.28.2007 04:52 PM

I watched The Hoax last night. It was good.

LittlePuppetBoy 04.28.2007 06:25 PM

End of the Century (very good) and Purple Rain (don't ask, I was flipping randomly through channels and decided to watch it. The music scenes I must say were very entertaining)

Danny Himself 04.28.2007 06:27 PM

'That Thing You Do!' was on sky movies the other day so I watched it. Again.

I don't know why I enjoy it so much, but it is a nice film.

Pookie 04.28.2007 06:32 PM

Just watched Meantime again. I will never tire of this film.

 

Iain 04.28.2007 06:35 PM

Saw The Machinist finally the other day. It was quite good but also fairly unremarkable and the conclusion was disappointing.

Oh, after that I saw The Saddest Music in the World which was the opposite of unremarkable. Odd and highly memorable.

And I started watching Tideland today but it became a bit of a drag.

jon boy 04.29.2007 06:05 AM

i saw casino royale the other day which i enjoyed more than i though i would. then started watching children of men but got a bit bored and might watch the rest later.

Iain 04.29.2007 06:20 AM

Children of Men is ace!

jon boy 04.29.2007 06:22 AM

i just dont think i was in the mood for it but it certainly was better than i thought it would be. michael cain made me laugh in it.

I want to see that one, Fracture was the last one I saw. It was a good movie. Who knew that a guy who used to play Hercules on a T.V. show was going to turn out to be a great actor.

I found it to be quite a bore, I relly did. The ending dissapointed me, oh so bad.

nicfit 04.29.2007 06:46 AM

Last night i watched "A Scanner Darkly"....not a great movie, but enjoyable.

Well, I liked it a lot and I fucking hate Michael Caine. He was just about bearable in Children of Men but still fairly annoying.

I think I'll watch the rest of Tideland today and maybe something else later.

Tokolosh 04.29.2007 07:14 AM

 

Watched it again, after the first two episodes of the new Sopranos.

have you ever seen "get carter"?? the 1970's movie, not the shitty stallone remake (so pathetic! stallone!).

anyway-- watch it. it might change whatever negative opinion you have of him. i actually like him quite a bit. he was also brilliant in alfie, and zulu, and that one about a jazz club owner, a spy movie... hm... i'll think about it, and he was great on educating rita and hannah and her sisters,-- blue ice! that was the movie i mentioned above. not a great movie, but entertaining....

anyway he does too many movies im afraid so that's bound to reflect poorly on him but don't wholly discard him based on the muppets movie or something.
