funny thing, i have this conviction that people get more influence from their families than they give credit for, so i have this idea about korine that he learned from his pbs-documentary-making dad, and that's why his movies (the ones i've bother to see, not sure i'll ever again but anyway different story) that's why his movies have this documentary feel to it (i.e., kids, gummo). and yeah i liked neither movie although gummo in the end wasn't that atrocious. i think the dude who did "george washington" (something green something) was a lot kinder to his characters than that bastard korine, and much more watchable and ultimately more interesting. |

When I was a kid, an adult saw the movie KIDS and said he was now worried about me. I knew enough about the movie to say, "I dunno. I never raped anyone."
"But you would," he said, as if the film gave him a secret look into my heart. Fucker. |

The KIDS soundtrack is the only part I like about the movie. After searching for SLINT for months I heard some on that soundtrack then bought the slint LP's and EP's

I haven't seen Traffic or The Illusionist but can recommend Jour de fete. Less anarchic than Playtime, it's gentler, more like Holiday. A great Sunday afternoon film.
Just watched The Asphalt Jungle. Loved it. In another age, Sterling Hayden would've made a great Judge Dredd. |

I don't hate it but always thought it looked like one of those 'edgy' fashion spreads you see in style mags. Spring Breakers just seems like it'll be the same kind of thing. I' wanna see it but I'll wait till it's on DVD cos I imagine I'll be wanking through most of it. |

Yeah, I sometimes get those two films mixed up. They're almost identical in lots of ways. I prefer Asphalt Jungle but not by much; they're both great.
I've never seen any evidence to support it but I wonder if Robert Bresson was thinking of the end of Asphalt Jungle when he shot the climax of Au hasard Balthazar. |

It's probably nothing. It just struck me when watching the final scene with Sterling Hayden, who's been shot and dies surrounded by horses just after the scene where the commissionar has described him as an animal. The Hayden character is seen as a loyal 'beast of burden' type even by his accomplisses. Then obviously in Bresson's film, Balthasar is shot after helping criminals and lays down to die with the animals, too. Like I say, there may be no connection at all, and I'm certainly not saying Hayden's character is meant to be in any way Christ-like. I've never heard of Bresson citing that scene as an influence but who knows? Just watched Bullitt The car chase still holds up (and if anything gets better every time I watch it) and I don't see how anyone couldn't like Steve McQueen. I've never been that into the movie as a whole, though. Surprising because on paper at least it should be just the kind of thing I'd love, and I'm still not sure why I don't. Although it's a film I'll never miss if I notice it on TV - perhaps in the hope that it'll finally win me over completely. |
