the naked fight scene in eastern promises was intense

![]() Dead Man Great film. Johnny Depp is brilliant but Gary Farmer steals it for me as the Indian character 'Nobody'. ![]() |

i looked it up and the aspect ratio is indeed 1.66. so in a typical wide screen tv (16:9 = 1.78) it should have black bars on the sides. in the old-tv screen it should have bars on top and bottom. and it was shot on 35 mm, not 16mm (the usual 1.66 aspect ratio is for super-16) so it definitely warrants a blu-ray reissue. plus the subtitles provided are burned on the video image not built into the dvd and they look terrible. i was re-watching the first 45 minutes last night and counting the shots. i think it was 9 or 10 by the time we stopped (it was late). amazing movie, it's like nothing else i've seen. deliciously slow. and in spite of the bad transfer and image problems-- gorgeous. |

That's maybe my favourite film ever. |
finished watching werckmeister harmonies
it wasn't easy because it's possible to doze off during the very long takes. but just because it wasn't easy it doesn't mean it wasn't great. ![]() |

a movie I caught on netflix, indy movie
antiviral - celebrity obsessed fans get injections from a Clinic which purchases viruses and other pathogens from celebrities who fall ill so the fans can feel a bond of their fav celeb odd but good flick |
I love when a movie surprises me, recently I mentioned "Bullhead", and yesterday I saw "Headhunters". This movie is just a lot of fun. They really put the protagonist of the film through some shit. For "Game of Thrones" fans Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who plays Jamie Lannister on "Game of Thrones" is in it.

watched FEMALE TROUBLE, which led to PECKER, which who knows which one of his i will put on after.

that's terrible! sad news. of course he's an artist so he's not going to stop working, probably just retire from massive projects like this. i just hope his health is good and this is just a step back into a more personal phase and not something else. |
![]() The Tree of Life |

You sat through the whole thing? I somehow watched part of it, but only by fastforwarding through most of it ;) |
I felt the same way for the first half hour but then it started to grow on me. I'm still not sure if I really liked it though.
Also last night watched ![]() Fistful of Dollars Awaiting Suchfriends' reminder that Clint wasn't 'Clint' till the 80s. |

here's a good coincidence-- i watched fistful of dollars 2 nights ago. i liked it of course, but i would have like it more with the title they gave it in japan-- "the return of yojimbo". Quote:
haaa haaa haaaa it only becomes annoying if you try to convince him otherwise |

Haha, yeah. I'd actually forgotten how good it is. And they definitely don't make baddies as bad as Gian Mario Volonte anymore. ![]() |

The first 45 minutes is most of what I skipped over, and then like you, felt conflicted about the remaining 30 minutes or so I watched that was condensed from the remaining hour and half ;) Like you, I'm not sure I really liked it, in fact I didn't particularly like it at all, yet, I still watched at least a good portion of it, so I'm not sure exactly if I didn't like it. As to Clint, he ain't jacko, Clint had some epic films in the 1970s. I'm sorry that y'all like the campy, soft-spoken, almost Jerry Lewis version of Jack Nicholson pre-1980 (China Town aside), Me, I prefer the curmudgeon billy bad a$$ version of later years. |

It definitely looked beautiful and some of the acting was excellent but its message, or what I could make of it, didn't seem particularly original or interesting in the end. |
