bigas luna! i loved "la teta y la luna" and "jamón jamón" and then lost track of him...

HOLY SHIT HE DIED LAST MONTH!

I had no idea he died. Anguish maybe sunk the way it did is because it's very unlike other Bigas Luna films. It's closer to the kind of self referential horror movies Wes Craven went on to make.

yeah i was looking at his wikipedia and he died of leukemia last month while working on a film adaptation.

im not a wes craven fan but i put anguish on my nflix quee anyway. turns out a bunch of bigas luna movies arent available on netflix cuz i think they have no american distribution, which blows. FUCKIN NETFLIX, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE EVERYTHING.

Be interesting to see what you make of Anguish. Like I say, it's nothing like Jamon Jamon but a really good film in its own right.

i thought when he jammed the girl's hand in the fan it was a bit unnecessary.

What could have been a cool sci fi movie became a very stupid monster film. Thankfully I got it on DVD at the library.

Collateral

Michael Mann is probably my favourite working director right now. I've always liked his stuff but it's only quite recently that he's fully clicked with me.

i'll post it a comment. im slow with the movies these days (i used to do 1xday) but i've got that new PTA you guys mentioned the other day-- waiting for a chance to get watched this weekend maybe.

Dude, April Fools was, like, a month ago.

Have4 not heard of this one. I dig Trejo but thought that Machete was a terrible script. Is this on Netflix?

My brother rented that movie for us and our friends to watch at my 22nd birthday party. jesus fuck what a non-celebratory flick! You should watch Werner Herzog's Bad Leutenant:Port of Call New Orleans Not really a sequel but Nick Cage is great in it.

was at home sick wednesday and thursday. watched this


It made me feel worse. such a shitty movie. Like a color-by-0numbers horror movie, so stupid. so fucking stupid. I give it a 1/10

I don't know about Netflix. It's a decent movie that doesn't take itself too seriously without playing just for laughs. Don't expect too much and you should enjoy it, especially if you like Trejo.

Haha. I meant it.

I had to watch Hudson Hawk to get the awful taste of Aliens vs predator out of my mind.

"Hey Mister, are you going to die?"

James & The Giant Peach

James & The Giant Peach

did i stutter

I've never seen Alien vs Predator but saw it in a supermarket yesterday for a couple of quid. I very nearly bought it just out of curiosity. I'm glad I didn't bother, now.

Speaking as a sci-fi fanatic, who loved Predator and may love Predator 2 even more, who loves Alien, Aliens, and even enjoyed 3 and Ressurection, this AvP fucking SHIT on all the previous movies. I hope no one else ever watches it.

I don't understand why so many people aren't into that. The 'even' sounds like you enjoyed it in spite of it really not being that good. I dunno, besides the first one it's probably my favourite - but then I really can't stand the second one at all, which everyone else seems to absolutely love. :confused:
