I adored it. And I"ve hated most of Ty West's output but this movie is incedible. |

Cool, Adele Haenel is in this. She's cute. I'm gonna watch this, thanx |
Liking Godard is purely subjective but I don't see why anyone wouldn't respect what he did, at least for a period in his career.

![]() ![]() There's a lot of love for Herzog's version here I think. I sort of like them equally but in very different ways. Watching them back to back I was thinking how great it'd be if Bad Lieutenant became a kind of standard, being constantly re-imagined by other quite maverick filmmakers. I'd love to see a Lars Von Trier Bad Lieutenant, or a Tarantino one or a Michaerl Mann one. It could be the same with actors, after Harvey Keitel and Cage, imagine a whole sequence of films with the lieutenant played by the likes of Steve Buscemi, Christian Bale, etc. All putting their slant on it. Like a cool Bond franchise. |

^ yeh, that's okay. Not nearly as good as it could be, though, in my opinion.

I kind of love that idea. Michael Mann's "Bad Lieutenant" starring Tom Cruise. Tarantino's starring Bruce Willis. Lars Von Trier's starring Stellan Skarsgaard. David Lynch's starring Laura Dern. |

Exactly! A Lynch one would be great. Some other directors I'd love to see do it: William Friedkin Gasper Noe Almodovar Brian DePalma Michael Haneke The Hughes Brothers Tim Burton (:eek: ) Scorsese Spike Lee Beat Takeshi (isn't Violent Cop basically the same thing?) Robert Rodriguez Some actors: Al Pacino Nick Nolte (perhaps a bit too old now but he would've been perfect a few years ago) Gene Hackman (same age problem as Nolte but wasn't Popeye Doyle the original Bad Lieutenant?) Gary Oldman Christian Bale Robert Downey Jnr Beat Takeshi Lindsay Lohan Kevin Spacey Russell Crowe Willem Defoe Alec Baldwin Ray Winstone Ray Liotta Javier Bardem |
I still haven't seen the Keitel original (I know - shame, shame), but I'd definitely fork over cash twice to see a DePalma directed Bad Lieutenant starring Lohan.

it's funny and absurd that an experienced hunter such as her ends up running in a straight line along a train track with no escape route. i'm like "fur sirius, bitch? why not run to the fucking trees you know so well". |

Oh seriously, you must see it. It's completely bonkers. Bits of it are a little silly and Ferrara is maybe even more ott than normal (only he could make Herzog seem understated by comparison) but if you like gritty cop movies, Ferrara's BL has to be a must. |
Skolimowski's Moonlighting.
To think most people would only say Roman Polanski when asked about a Polish director... sigh... |

I have, yeah, a long time ago, though. I liked it but think he really came into his own later on. Driller Killer felt more to me like he was simply trying to get in on the whole slasher thing. Over the years I think I've probably seen all hios films. I've liked some more than others but had a soft spot for all of them. If you've not already seen it, two of his most underrated are The Blackout (a sort of 8 1/2 meets Leaving Las Vegas) and his made for TV version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, called simply Body Snatchers. |
