The Kid with the Bike is an AMAZING film. And so is the next film they made, Three Days Two Nights.

Saw Wild last night and Foxcatcher on Monday, both 9/10s

anyway i saw

 


THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT (Fassbinder, 1972). So fucking great. Yes it's a filmed play. Everything happens in one room. And it looks fantastic-- the room, the camera moves, the costumes, the mask-like faces, everything. Also great dialogue.

i wonder if it was autobiographical.


One of my very fave films. It's obviously a retake on All About Eve but I'm not sure if it's autobiographical. Although it does reflect the power-relations Fassbinder was prone to. Either way, fantastic film.

yes i didn't mean autobiographical in the narrative sense (i was aware of that imprecision when i wrote but i couldn't address it) but rather wondered if it reflected a lot of his background and the nature of his relationships.

Believe it or not this was actually REALLY FUCKING GOOD.. the CGI was a bit much but it more or less worked.. I liked how the plot was different than the original Godzilla movies, it was still a morality play about the dangers of nuclear technology but in an entirely different way than the originals..

the production was great, the acting not so bad, and the premise interesting.

I also watched..


 

The Cell which was also really good accept for the total shit casting. I mean, really, it was like the 2000 Ravens with Trent Dilfer.. the plot and imagery was entertaining enough to overcome the terrible cast. Dilfer was a "game managing" QB who really sucked but Ravens defense was all-time good so they won the Superbowl. This movie was similar, what was good about it was good enough to overcome its terrible cast. This was that Vince Vaughn limbo before he was officially type casted as a party animal (and rightfully so, as a "serious" actor the guy is total shite)

Dark Skies.. i dare say the Paranomal Activity series finally found a real niche.. aliens can be so much scarier than ghosts.. and the production/acting was much improved

I also watched Alex Cross in some delirious fever haze but i don't know why? Must have been this flu

On the Netflix. I laughed and laughed. Nothing spectacular, but funny to me. Like a modern version of Spies Like Us in a way.

Toilet & Bowels 02.04.2015 04:25 PM

2015 so far

Foxcatcher - 9/10, truly disturbing
Wild 8.5/10
Inherent Vice 8/10
Wood Job! - 11/10, best feel good film I've seen in years.

Hoping to see Ex Machina and A Most Violent Year soon.

Rob Instigator 02.04.2015 04:35 PM

I see you made it through Inherent Vice. I almost flung a shit at the movie screen ....

Toilet & Bowels 02.06.2015 02:29 AM

I liked it, maybe 8/10 is a bit generous though

Shanghai Express

Been watching this on repeat for a few weeks now. The story's as silly as it gets but the only reason ever to watch a Marlene Dietrich film is to watch Marlene Dietrich being Marlene Dietrich.

november man

pierce brosnan runs around making a mess and ends up defying the good sense of the cia and stopping them from owning the future russian president as a controllable and blackmailable asset. given the state of russia this is a dick move on brosnans part who apparently just likes the rough and tumble chaos of spy life and is too much of a smug individualist to see sense. did not appreciate such reckless disregard for US geopolitical strategy on the part of mr brosnan. neither is it good that pooty poot is apparently free to run again in this universe. you know brosnans a civilized renaissance man because he listens to satie and runs off to form a new nuclear family, yet russia has to suffer another kremlin stooge in power because of this. also tedious stuff about girl getting sexed up to go get her murderous revenge on abuser. 5/10

Sorry for my delay in replying, but I've been massively distracted of late, and this is my first post to SYG since the post to which you replied.:eek:

Isn't the problem with pre nuclear subs and ships is a lack of range? Also welcome back, we missed ya

Toilet & Bowels 02.08.2015 08:44 AM

A Most Violent Year, 7/10. Enjoyed the first 3/4 of the film a lot more than the last 30 mins

The first submarines converted to carry Regulus were two WWII Gato/Balao class ships with I-400-type submersible hangars, with range sufficient for extended patrol off the coast of Japan from bases in Hawaii or Australia, so they certainly had range to reach and loiter in areas which placed targets in the USSR within range (500nm) of Regulus.

True but what about refueling issues.. either way nuclear subs were in place in short time after.. i just thought from a historical perspective the program pointed how history is not as rigidly linear as it always looks in hindsight.. the military was working on those planes since the nuclear subs weren't envisioned to be ready nearly as fast as they were.. folks invested a lot of time and money into what was essentially unnecessary but they couldn't know it.
