Please help my confusion......why is Hors Satan on a 2013 list?

!@#$%! · 12.31.2013, 08:08 AM

i live near no decent movie houses so i must wait for netflix-- 3-6 month delay, and then i end up watching a bunch of movies from the 40s

i saw before midnight and it was okay but not as fun as the prequels-- i didn't really like the characters too much anymore-- goatee is a manchild and julie delpy is too american.

much ado about nothing on the other hand was a welcome surprise because i expected meh and i was "owwwwww fred!!!" and okay i have a bias maybe, but vs the kenneth branagh version this was cool and not cheesy-- i really had fun with this movie and nathan fillion was superhilarious.

waiting for various 2013 releases on netflix-- blue jasmine, 12 years as a slave, her, the act of killing, and whatever other movie corpse floats to the top after everything settles (wolf, warmest color, etc maybe). oh and i'll need orange is the new black on disc.

ps jiro is awesome but it's 2011/12 too

ps- oh, i see you just got it

i've read he can be pretty fucking nasty towards gaijin to the point of kicking them out of the place as they arrive. as the movie hints, his temper is nothing to fuck with. which is, you know, hilarious and all, but if it happens to you it could be a major letdown. make backup plans. (ps you should be booking now for march i think)

Toilet & Bowels · 12.31.2013, 11:33 AM

Booking for March starts starts in a couple of weeks. Good to know about his attitude, especially considering my gf is the type to drown her sushi in wasabi and soy sauce.

stateyourrights · 01.01.2014, 10:29 PM

Wolf of Wall Street and secret life of Walter Mitty were both outstanding. Tom hanks did great in captain Phillips. Before midnight was really good too but I thought it was the least best of the before series

Cunt · 01.02.2014, 07:37 AM

A couple more to your list:

Film:
Museum hours - Jem Cohen
Vous n'avez encore rien vu - Alan Resnais
La danza de la realidad - Alejandro Jodorowsky

Documentary:
The perverts guide to ideology - Slavoj Zizek

I feel like I'm the only person who has yet to see "Spring Breakers", wish Netflix would Instant Watch that damn movie already. Best movie I saw this year is still "Bullhead".

Keeping It Simple · 01.05.2014, 09:33 AM

Only God Forgives.

demonrail666 · 01.05.2014, 02:07 PM

Nothing really stood out from last year for me. I enjoyed The Canyons a lot, without necessarily thinking it was any good.

Pookie · 01.05.2014, 03:20 PM

The Harry Hill Movie and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa were my joint favourite films of 2013.

demonrail666 · 01.05.2014, 05:55 PM

Never saw the Harry Hill film but did like Alpha Papa, although it did have that sitcom christmas special feel to it. One of those films where I felt a bit out of place watching it in a cinema instead of on tv. But on its own terms, it's hard to fault.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.05.2014, 07:24 PM

Yeah it was shot like a TV program and looked a bit odd on a cinema screen, however it made me laugh more than anything I've seen in the cinema since Borat.

leviathan all the way for me, maybe the act of killing too. non-documentary I'd say the bling ring, in that it was so gloriously vacuous. yet to see spring breakers, unfortunately.

did the call come out this year? that was fucking bone-chilling, heart palpitations abound during that one.

^THIS is way up there.

Evil Dead 2013 as well.

!@#$%! · 01.05.2014, 11:23 PM

i kinda hate har-kor by default

i'll have to be convinced to watch that

please nobody fucking say: "it's just like my life!"

ps- i did enjoy "django unchained", although it wasn't life-altering or anything.

star trek was okay but the first one was better-- as good as bandersnatch is as sherlock, he really wasn't a kahn. ironman 3 was… shit, i've already forgotten about it. that was fast!

i haven't seen ANY of the movies manohla dargis mentions as her favorites in the bottom of this article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/mo...anted=all&_r=0

doesn't look too promising and i suspect demonyo is right in that this wasn't a blow-your-socks-off year for film. eh! there's plenty of old stuff.

BTW, please watch BLANCANIEVES.
