The first Godard I watched, I found it at the same time horribly pretentious and visually amazing. The Raymond Devos scene is great.

Today I watched Dark Knight Rises and Total Recall back to back. DKR was really good, might be the best of the three. As for Total Recall, well, it's pretty sad when an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is more profound and thought provoking.

Hey gang.... I need some help. I'm working on a blog article about bit torrent sites like KG, CG etc and am looking for some personal experiences. I write freelance and have been wanting to write about my (limited) experiences for awhile now.

I wouldn't use any names, screenames etc. Just curious in asking some questions. Email me at Henryhill51@aol.com and put in the subject line "sonic youth" if interested.

Cavallone's ''Spell'' or ''L'uomo, la donna e la bestia''.

An insane girl who eats her lunch in the toilet and drinks water from the toilet bowl, a man who gets his sexual kicks from dead animals'meat etc. Don't watch it if you don't like seeing a cow giving birth. A sort of druggy vision with not much of a plot. I enjoyed it.

Bridge on the River Kwai

Loved it.

IP man.

great movie, as for me

Yeah Ip Man was pretty cool. I wasn't tired yet...so I decided to watch Ip Man 2. That shit was atrocious.....like really fucking painful to watch.

Ever seen the French movie, "Baise-Moi" (Rape Me)? If you liked the above movie, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, though it received scathing reviews.

Awesome. It's a cliche to say so but Stagecoach is one of those films that definitely takes a few viewings to really appreciate. But either way, I love the characterisation in Stagecoach maybe more than I do in any other Ford Western. The whiskey salesman, the war veteran, Dallas, Ringo Kid, the driver with his Mexican wife. They're like Dickens characters transplanted to the wild west. The final shootout at the end between Ringo and the Plummers has a lovely old fashioned feel to it. But my favourite scenes are the ones where Ringo is the only one who'll sit with Dallas at the dinner table and then when they both agree at the end of the film to find a place to settle down together.

Try and see My Darling Clementine before you see The Searchers. Besides being (for me) Ford's greatest Western it further builds on ideas laid at in Stagecoach that'll eventually feed into The Searchers and Liberty Valence. In a sense, all the Ford Westerns are trying to examine the idea of the outlaw's place in the founding of a 'new' America. Ringo has to kill the Plummers because they represent the same old uncivillised West that Ringo (and Dallas) are a part of but where the Plummers represent the dead end of that world, Ringo and Dallas want to transcend it (just as Wayne has to kill Liberty Valence in order to make way for the civillisation represented by Jimmy Stewart and his wife - the wilderness/garden thing again.) It's the argument that figures like those played by Wayne weren't just obstacles to be overcome during that period (as is suggested in Valence when Wayne lets Stewart take credit for the killing) but were instrumental in creating a 'new world', which is solidified in MDC and then reaches epic, almost mythical proportions in The Searchers. It's all a bit cliched and deeply dubious from a historical/political standpoint but Ford was all about creating these mythical figures, doing mythical things for some mythical greater good. Sort of like Clash of the Titans (or even Nolan's Batman films).

Sorry, I tend to waffle a bit when it comes to Ford. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of them.

i liked it!

no that was too short, no sense stopping talking about ford


wagon master is a fun one to watch with an ex-mormon

Yes, I've seen it a few years ago. I remember liking it and I am never patient enough until in ''rape and revenge'' movies the assailants have their balls chopped off but I can't remember it being the best thing in this genre I've watched. Thanks for reminding me about it though, I will give it another shot.

Talking about ''rape and revenge'' movies, I like Abel Ferrara's ''Ms. 45'' and I've never watched any of his other movies. Any recommendations are super welcome.
