recent watches
the Gentlemen, new Guy Ritchie, pretty good, send up of aristocracy, good work by Hunnam Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell. Not Snatch or Rock-n-Rolla good, but a nice return to what he does well Color out of Space. Only watched 15 minutes. A bunch of extraneous nonsense added to a good clean story line, plus an absolutely atrocious intrusive string laden soundtrack, by Colin Stetson (!) Goes to show you that Hollywood really can ruin just about anything |

"Forbidden That’s all we know." It's old movies week here: (it was on tv a while back when Kirk Douglas passed away) It's a bit weird, I kept thinking I was watching Ben Hur and was waiting for the carriage race. But the mass scenes were impressive. Bought a couple more old Kubrick films that I'll need to watch at some point. But I also bought a Hitchcock box with 13 movies on Blurays. Yesterday I saw Dialogues are outdated (too much preaching and explaining) but the "special effects" were cool especially the finale. Very cool movie, I liked the dialogues from the kids especially.

With regards to Kirk Douglas and Spartacus, I would recommend anyone to watch Trumbo as a lessonin US history, or at least read about him. Because Kirk made him appear on the credits of Spartacus, the blacklisting of (supposed) communists was terminated.

Dalton Trumbo was an interesting guy, that movie, however sucks. Jeez, just fucking awful. Horrible ego trip film by Cranston.

i have not seen trumbo but his story is well known.
the movie that’s fucking horrible is spartacus though. mega-cheeseball. kubrick was right to disown it. kirk douglass was a massive ham and ruined it. shadow of a doubt however is fucking great! joseph cotten was one of the best actors from that era. |

I hardly ever recco Woody Allen, but The Front is actually pretty good, and so is the Trumbo documentary.

Earlier today I watched Hitchcock's Rope and fell asleep... possibly woke up by the gun shots towards the end. The Making Of however is interesting though, about how to make a movie about gay people while you're not allowed to speak about it.

“Forbidden, That’s All We Know” is a great film title.

been working through the director’s cut of “until the end of the world”
i haven’t had the 5 hours to sit through the whole movie; and therefore: chapters wenders made this in 19...90? (came out in 91). i’m thinking in today’s world it would have made a glorious tv show. as a movie, 5 hours is too long. as a tv miniseries perhaps it would have had a better structure. to think of the possibilities and the would have beens... but i didn’t intend to wax nostalgic about loss. though it can’t be helped, looking at solveig dommartin, no? ah! anyway... |
