no way. don't betray your instincts! you know avengers was better, batman was just more expensive. this writer also picks avengers as the overall winner of the 3-way deathmatch w/ spidey http://crushable.com/entertainment/what-was-the-best-superhero-movie-of-2012-the-avengers-the-dark-knight-rises-the-amazing-spider-man-857/ after this i gotta go see spiderman anyway |
I love Takeshi Kitano, so I'm trying watch all his films he has directed/written.
Cross Zatoichi off that list. Maybe not the strongest Kitano film, but still a solid outing, it just didn't grab me like the rest of Kitano's films, he should stick to what he's good at, slice of life/yakuza set in current time, Kurosawa set the standard for samurai films, if one should want to do a samurai film it should really push the borders. All in all, love it and one cannot not help but bask in the glory of its 15 minute tap dance routine set in Edo era Japan, found at the end of film. Brilliant. lol |

I dunno, the more i think about DKR, the better I think it is. But I think Nolan and Whedon are such different directors that it only ends up coming down to personal preference. Avengers is brilliantly cool and fun , DKR is brilliantly clever and awesome. |

ha haa haaa... yes! in the end i liked avengers more because i love whedon's snappy dialogue. but could i say it's "better"? dark night has a much deeper plot and character development, so.. yes, you're completely right. |
I saw this sci-fi film called Monsters. It was pretty good. I've yet to see The Dark Knight Rises : (

Please keep the discourse going in my thread. You have a lot of good insights. I was impressed and even a little unsettled by the Bane fight scene (pt. 1). You're right that it was a first. For once, our hero was not on control at all, and that made for a tense and even hard to watch viewing experience. |

Thanks! Kitano is such an amazing man. Sonatine is a perfect film, I like it just a little bit better than Hana-Bi (Fireworks). I haven't seen A Scene at the Sea but its on my watch list! I'd like recommend his most challenging, unique and strange endeavour in film, Takeshis. The story is wild trip into Kitano's mind of delusions and abstract dreams. Stars Kitano as himself and as Akihiro Miwa and blonde lookalike trying to make his way in the film industry. People in this world are are extremely downtrodden on this lookalike, and finally he's had his fill, violence, death, and lots of laughter ensues. Recently been on a French film trip... ![]() Amélie. I know its nothing new or original to absolutely love this film. But I fucking love this film. Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Audery Tautou own my heart. Bought it on Blu-Ray for $5.99. *hugs* ![]() Breathless Somebody watched this film recently on here I think, well... Jean Seberg looks just jumped out at me, she was way ahead of her time, a look many talented actors and actresses in the 60's had, a certain charisma and fashion that just make the individual pop out from the picture and people around them. People like, Marcello Mastroianni in Fellini's 8˝, and Monica Vitti in the Antonioni's films, these people were ahead of there time in the scope of being sexy and cool. Its a shame and disgusting to think that a wonderful woman like Jean Seberg was a target of FBI lies and illegal activities all stemming from her activities and support for the NAACP and various other civil rights groups, that probably lead to 'apparent' suicide. Fuck them. ![]() La Haine The end... with the closing scene I was like "Yep. This film is amazing". A great snapshot of slice of life in the everyday French ghetto circa the early 90's. Adventure through the streets of France of how to put a loaded .44 magnum to good use. Also awesome use of Beastie Boys tracks will always go a long ways in my books! Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, who plays Amélie's long lost love! Just made that connection! I love finding links between great material... film, music, and art. |
Mulholland Drive with a friend. We didn't know what the fuck was going on so we just stopped watching and played video games.

Oh? Well I'll give it a second try then. Thanks. |
I just recently got "Blue Velvet" on blu. Ready to fall in love with it all over again.
|
Watched Brick with a friend. I've seen it a lot, but I've been meaning to show it to him.

Paul Metzger's old band TVBC did a great soundtrack for that film; got to see them perform it twice. They released it a few years back. Great film.

![]() The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant. Even by Fassbinder's standards this is full on gayness. Paul Morrissey with a professional cast. It's basically a remake of All About Eve and there's a bit when Margit Carstensen tries to walk across the screen in an impossibly tight dress that I swear is one of my favourite moments in film ever. My cultural life would be so much more straightforward if I had a thing for cock. |

Ken Park
Lots of penis. Majority of penises are erect. Much better than KIDS. Leaves one with that warm, special, "What the fuck did I just watch?" feeling. Has anyone else seen it? Or was it all a dream? |
Looking forward to the boxset release of season two of The Walking Dead.

Unfortunately, I've seen it. I do respect the seismic cultural change that Larry Clark's film "kids" had on cinema, but I just don't like his work. "ken park" is more of the same.... white kid suburban anomie with shock cuts and little sympathy for anyone. And yes, with the erect cocks and minor-on-milf-sex, it's no surprise this film will probably never see the light of day outside of bootleg versions. |
