re-watched Reel Injun last night, reminded me of how long it had been since I watched Atanarjuat...described in Reel Injun as the first "inside job". Just a fantastic movie, if anyone hasn't seen it, you need to

We saw the new Beauty & The Beast over the weekend, along with The Neon Demon.

What say you on Neon Demon?

Still haven't gotten around to that one. Waiting for the right moment, when I'm so stone-cold super chill that nothing can shake me. That moments never going to come though, so maybe I should just watch it and vomit since I'm already vomiting.

we have "Prevenge", "Boss Baby" and, for toppers, Adam Sandler signed for another 4 movies

back in the day we had minority report, 3 men and a baby, and adam sandler's movies couldn't go straight to youtube

The Neon Demon for me was just okay. I was really looking forward to it cause I like Nicholas Winding Refin, I enjoyed "Drive" and even liked "Only God Forgives", which I know I'm in the minority on, The Neon Demon didn't connect with me. For all the talk about how shocking it was because it involved such taboos as cannibalism and necrophilia, for me I thought it was interesting but ultimately feeling, that's it?

noisereductions · 03.27.2017, 08:55 PM

I liked Neon Demon. But it reminded me a lot of Starry Eyes from just a couple years back.

no... it has scarlett!

okay, yes, storywise it's total baloney but come on, good visuals

it wasn't supposed to be a documentary anyway, right?

i like luc besson. yes, he's a trashy filmmaker. and yes he makes almost the same superhero movie over and over with his characters. but i just like his brand of trash.

so much so that talking about it i kinda wanna see this movie again.

I think so too. Especially since I rewatched the TV movie from back in the day and realized how utterly shit it was in pretty much every conceivable way. Total shit. Shit sandwich. Also, hilarious.

If I haven't seen a Michael Bay film in a while I seem to convince myself that I quite enjoy them. Then I'll watch one again and get a reality check. I've nothing in principle against the kinds of films he makes I just can't stand the way he does them. And there really isn't much to study in terms of his style. A lot of it's just Tony Scott on steroids.

Saying all that, if there's one Michael Bay film I do enjoy it's The Rock, but that's more because of Nicholas Cage than Michael Bay.

!@#$%! · 04.02.2017, 10:16 AM

^^ nicolas cage + michael bay must be an insane mix. all the frosting that is possible! i'll be sure to follow soon.

just watched HOLY MOTORS, and HOLY SHIT WHAT A MOVIE

i don't wanna ruin it with explanations or even movie stills that might give some things away but holy wackawackawacka it was so fucking beautiful and brilliant

with a movie like this, you don't need drugs. it is the drug.

Yeah, he was definitely the best part, and genuinely scary for me when I was 8. I hear the poor guy is wheelchair bound now. Suffered a stroke or something? Really sad. What a great evil motherfucker he was.

He played a sicko evil kidnapping rapist motjerfucker on Criminal Minds once. Terrible show... just tepid and ridiculous and boring and insulting to bevahioral scientists everywhere, but even in that ghastly setting, he haunted my dreams a bit.

Did it blow your mind? I always thought its "mind-blow" factor was gratuitously overstated. It didn't make me go "what." like, say, Fight Club did the first time I watched it. I was like, "that (SPOILER) is fucking (SPOILER)." And then the (SPOILER) turned out to be (SPOILER), and I probably shrugged or something.

Great movie. Seems like it's been forgotten about pretty quickly, but it's something else.

No, but I also generally knew the plot twist going into it because so much hype over the years that I never bothered to avoid.

!@#$%! · 04.03.2017, 09:52 AM

^^ oh that is something i've never seen. and MUST.

==

this past weekend watched the XXI century version of CASINO ROYALE

i need to watch it again knowing what i know in the end. particularly eva green. who always does some sort of femme fatale, with her strange face and nice tits.

what's amazing about THIS james bond is how he gets continually traumatized and nevertheless keeps running like a ton of bricks. is it something in his physiology or something else i think it's kinda hilarious. i mean, i get that the actor spends a lot of time at the gym but muscles don't make a person invulnerable.

so i kept looking for something to touch his real vulnerabilities. like winston in 1984. torture vesper in front of him, and then see what he does.

peculiar too that the girl's arm doesn't get cut off either. this is no scarface movie. people here have shreds of honor.

vesper lynd is a superinteresting character though and i realize now i paid very little attention to her because it was in all appearances a dumb action movie and i treated it as such. basically i had a computer game playing all throughout it. ooops!

i might need a rewind ha ha ha

Rob Instigator · 04.03.2017, 10:11 AM

hahhaha. Too funny.

Re: Usual Suspects, I think it is the most Hitchkockian film to come out in decades. Perfectly constructed IMO.
