atsonicpark - I don't think that Argento's made a cohesive and coherent film since "Tenebrae". Sure, "Opera" has it's moments, but much of the rest of his oeuvre leaves me bored. I know I should really see "Mother Of Tears", but I'll probably end up turning it off in disgust, and watching "Profondo Rosso" instead.

another one of my faves.

mulholland drive is brilliant. i think lynch developed to be my favourite director so far. lost highway still scares the shit out of me, especially the first third of the movie. and twin peaks, oh my god twin peaks!!!!
got blue velvet lying around and havent seen it, but I will hold it back for a special evening to really enjoy it

a few weeks ago i ordered profondo rosso from the video rental place that i rent from, and today it finally arrived. so tomorrow ill rpobably watch it...
susperia is amazing

fugazifan - I love "Suspiria" too. I don't think that you'll be disappointed with "Profondo Rosso" :)

Yes it's really good isn't it.

good. his usage of colour is amazing.
i saw dig! yesterday thanks to cantanky. great flick, entertaining but too bad the bands are not that great. dandy warhols are terrible andf i will defiantly gibe the BJM a listen but they didnt sound that great.
i also saw black cat white cat which was great.

Casino Royale.

Just sayin'...

Right now... The Thomas Crown Affair (the Peirce one).

but only until Burn Notice comes on at 10. Best damned TV show on cable right now. USA channel, people. Check it out.

sequel to Cape Fear?

pineapple express

i laughed my ass off.

Damn, I still haven't seen that. I'm going to round up a group for either Sunday or Monday night.

you need to! the gratuitous violence is the best part. it's just so funny.

Now that I think about it, it'll probably have to be during the day because classes don't start for a few days, so the nights are kind of a blur with nobody being in a fit state to drive.

Oh hey, did you ever see Hard Candy?

I still haven't watched it. I'll get to it tomorrow probably.

My Argento top 10 :)

1. Tenebre
2. Deep Red
3. Opera
4. Bird with the Crystal Plumage
5. Suspiria
6. Four Flies on Grey Velvet
7. Cat O'Nine Tails
8. Phenomena
9. Stendhal Syndrome
10. Inferno

what are these moooo-veeees

Just got back from tropic thunder.
It wasn't aone where I was laughing the whole entire time... but damn it was a good movie.
The first 30 minutes were pretty much nonstop funny though.

Not technically a movie, but funny as fuck, nonetheless.
"You must be crazier than a fish with titties..."

hostel ii - 3/10

it was fucking amazing, strong movie. almost without computer effects.. this is the reason why i like this movie and batman begins.
8,5/10

i saw six movie over the weekend.
yesterday i saw amaya deren documentary about voodoo rituals in haiti. a really cool movie. great music and really interesting to see their different chants and rituals.

jean renoir- the grande illusion. really great movie.
then i saw devil wears prada at 4 am on cable at a friends house
a fish called wanda was on this afternoon. i never got tired of that movie.
then i saw iron man at the cinemateque. pretty good. but ther last line of the movie + the music during the closing credits was quite obvious.
then i saw deep red. amazing. i love argentos directing. he sets up the most beautiful shots. the most brilliant part of the movie is if you rewatch a certain scene ten minutes into it yhou can see who the killer is. the most brilliant part of it is that it is impossible to realize it unless you see the last scene. fucking brilliant-showing the killer but in a way that no one will realize it.

That's what's great about all those early Argento films. All of his main characters usually have a vision problems or they can't remember a crucial detail of the crime they saw, stuff like that. Brilliant shit.

cronenberg fucking RULES

...ahem.

Cronenberg top 10:

1. Videodrome
2. Dead Zone
3. Dead Ringers
4. Crash
5. Scanners
6. Naked Lunch
7. Rabid
8. History of Violence
9. Existenz
10. Eastern Promises

need to watch more cronenberg too. really like his interpretation of naked lunch. but its a bit too long, or to say it better it progresses too slow I think.
but kinda it fits the style.

man from which directors you got NO top 10? that doesnt mean I really wanna know I would prefer if you post all your top 10. need some inspiration on what to watch in 10 hours :)

Haha, directors without 10 films I guess? People are shocked by this but I watch movies almost every day and have for 22 years... so it's not that crazy. I've been lucky to have been around horror and experimental films for almost my whole life.

Also, I have OCD... if I get into a band or director or writer or video game developer or whatever, I gotta experience as much as I can...

the same way as I do it.
I am like a sponge when it comes to something I really like, I wanna know everythign about its creator including it other works.

but there is somethign like a priority scale to keep me sane and not burst because of things I wanna experience.

when it comes to movies : lynch
when it come to books : burroughs
when it comes to games : grasshopper (or old school genesis shit)

but on the places beneath everything is going wild

btw for what does OCD stand for?

A very good movie, a collection of 6 short stories, each one directed by a different Eastern-European director (from Hungary, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, etc).

fucking a right, awesome, so fucking awesome-- fruit chan, chanwook part and miike all in 3 short movies put together. oh fuck yeah. bai ling as hot as it gets. park's movie starts with a fucking great tracking shot and moves to some beautiful cinematography. shit fuck, this was fucking great, i dont know where to begin. im re-watching.



sensitive boys and philosophical potheads may go "whoa maaaaan", but for me it was meh-- talky as fuck, the narrator wont shut the fuck up. but the girls were pretty, so it was watchable.

The Bridge, wow.

Some movie about a kid growing up, being really poor.

I was only half watching it though, my mom was the one who had it on. So yeah, I dunno the name.

Oh, nice. You're watching it :D

I finished watching it, it was some sort of awakening.

Did watching those people jump give you the creeps?

It's pretty sad that people give up the easily :( Listening to their families was probably the worst part about the whole thing.

It was chilling watching the people jump. I found disturbing the guy with the camera, how close he got to that girl.

I just find it weird that he didn't do anything sooner, you know? Like I'm all for getting a good picture and all, but...

At least he ended up getting her back over the railing. Maybe she got some help.
