The good the bad and the weird
7/10

The keep
6/10

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.27.2010, 01:47 PM

Only a 5/10 for The Player? Oh man, I really liked that one...

Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

9/10 (8/10, if keeping all the lame alterations in mind... goddamn that singing alien at Jabba's place, and Hayden at the end).

Yeah, I watched it again for the first time in years. I just couldn't get past how self-congratulating it was. A lot of Hollywood bods patting each other on the back, solely for not being Michael Bay.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.27.2010, 03:25 PM

Haha, ok, I can see that.

They're really good! Haven't seen any of The Grudges but at least they're directed by Takashi Shimizu the original Japanese director. I like my Japanese movies, the original ones. Gross Western actors GTFO. Though, I really like American The Ring(s). Naomi Watts rules.

The Player is a bit much, gets old quickly, but the opening scene is one of the best in the history of films.

I hate that Altman chose to open the film with that scene but I can't deny that it is amazingly well done. I just think his decision to do it only further reinforces the film's general air of self congratulation - although that could probably be said of almost all of Altman's films. Of that whole movie brat generation, I tend to think he was the flashiest, with arguably the least substance. That's why The Player sort of irritates me; I see it as a quite shallow movie, made by a quite shallow filmmaker, condemning what he perceives to be the shallowness of mainstream hollywood. Hollywood is shallow, but Altman's about the last person who should be bringing it up (besides maybe Nic Roeg).

Another great Johnnie To movie.

Darkness Light Darkness

10/10

Easily one of the coolest, yet simplest shorts I've seen in a long, long time. Brilliant stuff here. After watching this, and Meat Love, I'm definitely going to need to check out one of Svankmajer's features soon. This was phenomenal. I'd love to be able to create something like this, I can't even imagine the effort it must've taken.

atsonicpark · 11.28.2010, 02:14 AM

Svankmajer's shorts are a LOT better than his features, though he has a few that are phenomenal.. it's just that his style works so much better as a feature. Stop-motion is fun as hell, and anyone can do it. You could definitely do it -- I highly reccomend a freeware program entitled STOP MOTION ANIMATION MAKER or something like that, it's about 500kb program and I've used it for all my stop motion stuff, in conjunction with a webcam. It quickly snaps photos and when played back, the stop motion looks gooooood. The thing is, while it's not too challenging to do once you get the hang of it, it's TIME CONSUMING AS HELL. I mean, I've spent an hour to do a 30 second stop motion thing. Basically.. snap a photo.. manipulate an object slightly.. snap a photo.. manipulate slightly.. snap.. manipulate.. snap. It's far more tedious and time consuming than you could ever imagine. But the finished results are always amazing. It's so fun to play around with. One of the tricks I often use is removing frames from when actors move/talk/do ANYTHING. That gives them a really really jumpy action.. almost like it's sped up, but it's not.. it makes their lips rubbery. Really fun... So, I reccomend playing around with it. Svankmajer is a talented stop motionist but the MASTER is definitely Bruce Bickford. Download PROMOTHEUS' GARDEN right away; it's only 30 minutes long and it will blow your mind.

Also, I absolutely love Altman. I think the Player is one of his lesser works, but I think he's one of the best filmmakers of all time. I definitely agree with most of your points Demon.

Eric Rohmer is amazing, I'm just getting into him but what I've seen has been incredible, Mr. Pimples. Got any reccomendations?

LifeDistortion, I LOVE Johnny To. I jsut finished a megatorrent of like 25 of his films. Got a ton I'd never seen, like LifeLine and PTU. My favorites are RUNNING OUT OF TIME, HERO NEVER DIES, FULLTIME KILLER, and THE MISSION.. so far. He's produced a shitload of great movies like ODD ONE DIES and TOO MANY WAYS TO BE NUMBER 1. He's incredible. His films really excite me -- they represent everything I love about the Hong Kong style of filmmaking.

It's Cléo from 5 to 7, a 1962 French film by Agnès Varda.
From Wikipedia: "The film includes cameos by Jean-Luc Godard, Anna Karina, Eddie Constantine and Jean-Claude Brialy as characters in the silent film Raoul shows Cleo and Dorothee, while composer Michel Legrand, who wrote the film's score, plays "Bob the pianist"."

Oh, and I really like it
