paranoid park - 8/10

I rewatched this with my girlfriend and I really honestly like it a lot. It may be simplistic and a bit cliche.. but the story is told so well and some parts were very beautifully done. My favourite movie from a director who's actually really average.

atsonicpark · 02.24.2010, 05:16 PM

I agree that Gus Van Sant is average, but he is consistent. I think he has made a ton of honest-to-god good films (let's forget Psycho). And all his films have one or two moments that are actually really brilliant. He has yet to make a great film, though My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy, and Mala Noche came close. I think Elephant and Last Days and Gerry are really important, interesting pieces of mainstream cinema. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of a guy who really really wants to be Jon Jost, but is too afraid of his mainstream credibility being damaged so he never goes all the way. I'd rather watch Bed You Sleep In or Bell Diamond.

Anyway, Paranoid Park actually is good. Gus creates a good atmosphere. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of what Larry Clark often aspires to do, but Larry Clark is an idiot piece of shit.

davenotdead · 02.24.2010, 05:35 PM

i like larry clark's 'Bully' better than most Van Sant films I've seen. [drug cow, par park, milk, elephant, cowgirls, forrester, good will, and what 'last days' i could stand].

i would probably like idaho or to die for though. r they good?

atsonicpark · 02.24.2010, 05:37 PM

I think Bully is his only good film.

To Die For is good, like a weak John Dahl film. My Own Private Idaho actually is really really good, so good that The Criterion Monopoly (C) felt the need to charge $50 for it! But, um, yeah, even for a KEANUA FUCKING REEVES movie, it's good.

ni'k · 02.24.2010, 06:12 PM

do you know of anywhere i could d/l bell diamond and bed you sleep in? can't find torrents.

atsonicpark · 02.24.2010, 06:15 PM

I put Bell Diamond on cinemageddon, and bed you sleep in is on there. Bed You Sleep In, I've seen on torrent sites before, not with many seeders though.

Bed.. is on netflix, if you have it.. to watch for free.

Your best choice is to join www.surrealmoviez.info ... not torrents, but rapidshare links ... granted, rapidshare doesn't always work, but you can use one of those premium link generators like leechdl.com or type in "black acid pro", that's easily the best one.. paste the links in, download, and it's like having a premium account.

but if you can karagara or cinemageddon accounts, that's a good choice.

10/10

atsonicpark · 02.25.2010, 11:42 AM

I think you forgot the 0 after the second 10...

Rob Instigator · 02.25.2010, 11:52 AM

I think he forgot the decimal point before the first 10

atsonicpark · 02.25.2010, 01:25 PM

Ohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Keeping It Simple · 02.25.2010, 05:08 PM

I can't believe there are people out there who didn't like Planet Terror. It's a brilliant spoof of the Grindhouse movies of the 70s. It's an absolute joy to watch.

Rob Instigator · 02.25.2010, 05:13 PM

spoofs suck

especially spoofs of things that already sucked ass

spoofs only work when they are spoofing "serious" and "intellectual" things

atsonicpark · 02.25.2010, 09:03 PM

Planet Terror sucks. Death Proof is the worst film ever made.

how could he ever go near that tarantino travesty?

i mean i know it was for money but still

Keeping It Simple · 02.26.2010, 07:57 AM

First the cinepseuds of the board attacked James Cameron, now they're attacking Tarantino and Rodriguez. They seem more concerned with pretentious, subtitled, art house shite overblown with subtext and montage than entertainment. They must lead miserable lives.

atsonicpark · 02.26.2010, 08:07 AM

I didn't know a movie, a movie itself, or a "shite", in this case, could be pretentious. Also, I doubt you know what "pretentious" means. Anywho, I don't watch a movie for its "subtext", I watch it for enhancing my life in some way, and that includes "entertaining me". Cameron hasn't made a good movie in nearly 20 years, Tarantino is a ripoff artist, Rodriguez hasn't made ANYTHING good, that's just how it is. Both those dudes are hacks.

Hardly arthouse shite. I don't get behind any one film genre or style. I like films that are good, to me. People can only like what they've been exposed to, and it's not my fault if you don't seek out any movies beyond the conventional, mainstream garbage, you're the one missing out -- not me. But don't attack others because they have tastes that are a bit more obscure than yours. I don't like films just because they're obscure, and I can appreciate a good mainstream film (Mean Girls for example), but Tarantino and that other guy are just fucking jokes.

Keeping It Simple · 02.26.2010, 08:13 AM

That's a shite list. Please don't ever invite me round to your dive to watch a movie.
