kikujiro - silly movie about a young kid traveling into the japanese countryside with takeshi kitano. i liked it.
love in the time of cholera - crap garbage. my girlfriend said the book was all about enemas and she's pissed that they didn't have enemas in the movie. instead, they inflated the "one chapter" about dude sleeping around into the bulk of the movie. fuck you, hollywood. also, oh my god just make a spanish movie instead of having all the actors speak with spanish accents.

Wow, I need to reread that book because I remember nothing about enemas. I remember some long, graphic description of how the doctor loved to smell his own asparagus piss.
Anything with Beat Takeshi is great.
Went and saw Despicable Me 2 in the theater tonight. It was cute. I missed huge chunks of it because I had my young kid there and I was paranoid as fuck about her making noise. I picked an aisle seat and the second she started about bathroom or drink or something I had her out of there. At one point she wanted to stand up and I shushed her and tried to reposition her in the seat and she stood up and said BUT I HAVE A WEDGIE.

if you haven't seen kikujiro, you should watch it! when you're in the mood for something... pastoral.
kitsa i think about you a lot because any time i've posted a picture of a mushroom you've IDed it. i see mushrooms a lot and wish i had somebody to ID them (and tell me which ones i can eat).
ohyaku: the female demon aka legends of the poisonous seductress: female demon ohyaku. this one disappointed me because i thought the plot was that she dies and comes back as a demon. instead she gets raped and then everybody else tries to rape her and she kills some of them.
are there any japanese action movies that doesn't involve women being raped?

Mostly google. I'd never eat a mushroom that I just came upon in the woods; don't trust myself enough. I did find some weird mushroom in the Michigan Dunes that I couldn't even begin to identify. Wasn't even sure if it was plant or fungus.

there's a log in my yard that has grown a ton of mushrooms in the past couple of days. they look like oysters. the neighbors said some edible mushrooms grow on that log. i guess they're oysters. they're also apparently popular breeding sites for flies, as they're full of larvae.
i started watching attenborough's life in cold blood. sweeeeeeet.

Watched Hitchcock today, with Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. Pretty good, although Anthony Hopkins waddling around in a fat suit was a little disconcerting. I kept thinking that he was going to break into some ridiculous Eddie Murphy/Tyler Perry shit.

Very flawed movie, but therapeutic at the same time. I really like some of the monologues and I like the idea of some republicans and fundamentalist christians tearing their assholes to shreds for being so mad at this movie. Watchable, but nothing special.

I was kind of confused because I thought in the book that Cora was biracial (?) and in the movie she pretty clearly wasn't, they never addressed it.

Ju-On: White Ghost/Black Ghost.
I'd been putting it off because I have such a love-hate relationship with Takashi Shimizu movies. The Proto-Ju-Ons were borderline scary. The V-Cinema Ju-Ons were scary, at least for a while, before Takako Fuji quit. The American Grudge movies were absolute horrendous bullshit. So I was a little apprehensive about the tenth anniversary rehash of the entire ponderous thing. It sat in my Netflix queue forever because I couldn't bring myself to watch one more fucking slog through the whole deal. Yesterday, though, I was feeling very blah and what the hell, so here goes.
Pros:
Very little rehash of the Saeki murders. It was hinted-at as being the same house, but I don't know that it was. A wadded-up portrait of the Saeki family was discovered in the kitchen and that about covered it.
White Ghost and Black Ghost were short, standalone movies, similar in theme, both conceived by Shimizu but directed by two different people. They were nonsequential, and headed with the names of different players in the drama, which is pretty much how these films go. If you had no trouble with the Ju-On movies, you'll fall right in step with this.
There's a staircase, and no one crawls down it croaking.
There are some genuine spooky moments and some genuine jump scares, along with some genuinely unsettling shit.
Two Toshio cameos. He doesn't meow in either one.
Cons:
Grandma with a basketball? REALLY?
THAT INFERNAL FUCKING CROAKING
In Black Ghost, there are a lot of ghost-appearance scares that you would completely miss if she hadn't been making The Takashi Shimizu Ghost Noise (tm). This is because the film was shot in a very dim palette and the translation to TV makes it even dimmer. Sometimes you think you can make out the whites of their eyes. Sort of.
Some hideous CGI, but could have been on purpose.
Blatant Tomie ripoffs, especially in Black Ghost.
So, I'm not entirely regretting watching it, but I didn't completely enjoy it either.

Rewatching Ju-on 2. Realized I'd forgotten a lot.
Kitsa
Oct 25th, 2013, 02:54 PM
Yeah, didn't really need the refresher. I think the first Ju-On:The Grudge was the only one to really creep me out. I've got to admit I've got a lasting fascination with the series, as you've probably surmised. Mainly, though, blahblah house blah blah murders blah blah croaking mom coming down the stairs blahblah startling blue catboy. Everything else is basically a variation on the theme, swapping out wigs and cellphones and the diary with the eye in it and there's that crumpled photo of the family again.
The croaking. That fucking croaking. What could raise goosebumps in the beginning is now sounding more to me like an out-of-ideas director leaning into the mic to deliver a slow gaseous emission. I know by now it's supposed to be like Shimizu's version of that "Ch-ch-ha-ha" (or "Ja-ja-son-son", depending on who you ask), but all I can hear now is braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppp.

I haven't watched any Ju-On, Ring, One Missed Call, or Tomie movies for a few years now. I just got burned out I guess. They're not really "fun" movies, so if they're not scary I get bored with them pretty quick.

Kitsa
Oct 26th, 2013, 12:58 PM
One of the themes of Ju-On that creeped me out was that the curse sort of dragged you in regardless of whether you were an innocent bystander or not. From what I've read, that's how Onryo (vengeful spirits, e.g. Kayako) operate. Like in classical pieces, the spirit bypasses the husband who murdered her and kills the new wife. That's a lot dimmer view than the standard "if you aren't a prick, you're probably safe" format of Western horror movies.
It used to be very rigid. Enter Kayako's old house, you're doomed, regardless of whether or not you had anything to do with it. Set foot inside and eventually a wild-eyed croaking woman was going to find you and...something. Usually something with hair.
Then when Shimizu started grasping at straws, the rules got looser and looser, and that's when they started losing my attention. The ghost started drawing people into the house when they hadn't had any intention of going there. The ghost started appearing and killing off buddies of the afflicted. That sort of reached its pinnacle when the Grudge movies made their leap into the Hollywood versions, particularly with the HORRIBLE Grudges 2 and 3.
dextire
Oct 26th, 2013, 01:42 PM
That is a very creepy concept. No one is ever safe. You can't be a good person, outsmart, perform an exorcism, or do your research and give the thing what it wants. You're going to die.
I forgot all about Grudge 3. I think that's the one where it just randomly has the kid and Kayako's giant head (her eye is a big as the door) looking out of the house in one scene. :lol
Kitsa
Oct 26th, 2013, 02:13 PM
The Grudge 3 took part in some gloomy apartment building in Chicago. (Because...? I forget why. Someone carried the curse over or something. I'm sure in alternate films, Kayako is visiting everyone who rode over on the plane with whomever carried the curse over, and eventually the CDC will have to get involved). There is a man who is an obvious setup to be the reincarnation of Kayako's husband, there's the good guy and whore-turned-responsible girlfriend, and there's a sickly little girl who keeps seeing Toshio. Somehow, Kayako suddenly has a sister who wasn't ever mentioned before, and someone has been putting clippings about the Chicago murders (from the Japanese papers, wtf?) on her desk until she decides to fix the problem. Weirdly, her name is Miss Saeki, even though that would have been Kayako's married name, but whatthefuckever.
There is one scene where they do a jump scare two times in quick succession and that might be what you're thinking of. The little girl is playing with her dollhouse and Toshio pops up behind it, looking through a window at her. Just to make sure that startled us, he immediately does it again. They have his eye lined up with a circle in the center of the window like he's got her in his sights.
Then again, they could have had her eye big in a door. I don't remember it, but it wouldn't surprise me. I think in a few of the film versions they liked to flash her face on windows, kind of like that Exorcist demon.
dextire
Oct 26th, 2013, 03:02 PM
Yep, that's the movie I'm thinking of. It's in like the first 20 minutes of the film and I'm pretty sure nothing at all has happened yet. The girl is walking out the door and the camera pans over to the other side of the room only to see giant headed Kayako peeking through. It's just very random and made me laugh. :halloween2

LOL. Weirdly enough, the only time that Sudden Kayako Window Appearance got me was in the first American Grudge.

Watching Sadako 3D right now. It had a couple of trailers for stuff that looked interesting. I used to be really hardcore into J-Horror but now I'm sort of tiring of the omnipresent recurring themes. I understand the psychology is different there and they need a certain recipe for scary, but I'm tired of checking it all off the list. They still outdo us on suspense, though.
Edit- just about 90% through with it and for some reason the end of this movie, not to give away too many spoilers, is hilarious. They multiplied the onryo, gave them mummy faces with big denture teeth (think of the scene in Poltergeist II when they found the preacher in the cave), and finished it off with a set of giant grasshopper legs. Too fucking funny.

Sadako 3D was not terribly creepy in the way that Ju-On was. I can only think of one halfway creepy scene in a flashback. It was mainly a lot of 3-D jump scares (you get VERY used to Sadako's hand reaching out at you from a computer screen VERY quickly). The heroine was mostly annoying and had a deus-ex-machina escape mechanism that didn't always make sense ("IyooooooooooOO!"). Also, I had no idea that the idea of a 404 scared the Japanese so much.
The army of Sadakos, though, was fucking hilarious.

Trying to get two more Takashi Shimizu movies watched today- shock labyrinth and tormented. Partway through shock labyrinth right now. So far, not a fan.
Edit: I stopped in the middle of Shock Labyrinth because I was sick of it. It was like a feature-length ad for a haunted house. Elements meant to be creepy (someone running down a hallway, her face appearing on the back of her head, suddenly running jerkily backwards toward the camera) just came off as lame. Elements used heavily in other movies (eyes rolling around, eyes going black), were overused and no longer startling. There were only a couple of minor psychological subplots that were disturbing.
I was so pissed I didn't even bother with Tormented.

One of the best theater experiences i've had. As a movie, it was just ok. Very intense scenes and the pacing was perfect, but dialogue on the other hand was a bit cheesy. The visuals and and the feeling of "being there" more than made up for that. Five stars, easily.

Since the last time I posted I watched quite a few movies.
Trigun: Badlands Rumble is watchable.
Superman vs. the Elite is actually solid.
Nacho Libre actually feels mediocre.
Pi (not the one with the East Indian youth—I’m referring to the one with the disturbed mathematician) is actually an intense little experience.
As for The General (the one with Buster Keaton), I'm honestly not sure what I think of it, though it does have a fair bit going for it.
I am more sure about Frozen, which I went out to see earlier this evening. It's quite good, actually.

Went to see the second Hunger Games installment in the theater. Not the nice downtown Columbus theater with the giant cushy leather recliners and cafe food, but a shit mall movie theater with a bunch of idiot teenagers who couldn't make up their mind whether they wanted to be roaming or sitting.
The movie was...I dunno. I tried to do the fair thing and read all of the books. It exactly matched the second book, except sped up a bit. Everyone is very pretty and the costumes and effects are beautiful and Jennifer Lawrence is a delight to watch, and all, but it's still the same damn story as BR. The second movie follows the progression from being victims of the system to using the next Games to start the rebellion that brings down the Man. They even give the contestants a water-landing that meshes nicely with the Normandy scene from BR2. I continue to not believe you knew nothing of this very popular plot, Suzanne Collins.
As far as effect on me...none, really. I just felt like I'd read the book again. I wasn't entertained, I wasn't not-entertained. It was more "Oh, yes, I remember this happening, and I see they went with baboons."
I heard they're breaking the last installment into two parts, Harry Potter-style. I guess it makes sense to squeeze out every drop once your star becomes an Oscar-winner and bankable up the wazoo.

I just watched Lovelace, the biopic of Linda Lovelace that has Amanda Seyfried in the title role. I'm interested in the whole Linda Lovelace thing, and I have a copy of Ordeal. I've watched Inside Deep Throat and sort of have a general grasp on the story as she and the directors/producers presented it.
I didn't know if I was going to go into this movie loving or hating it, because reviews were not great at all. And really I kind of ended up doing a little of both. I did not expect to have this movie in my head after I stopped watching it, but here we are. So let me try to sort it out.
- Whoever captured the ugly 60s-70s aesthetic so fucking perfectly, kudos. They matched EVERYTHING. Everyone was ugly, everything was ugly, the decor was exactly as horrible as I remember the decor of the era being. They even matched the tone of the film to a 70s-era production. It was absolutely brilliant.
-The Amanda Seyfried casting started out sketchy, but she kind of grew on you. She really did have a lot of the Linda Lovelace mannerisms down and all that remained distracting was the hair. It just didn't look right.
- The rest of the cast was so big-name and bizarre in the given situation that it was sort of fascinating to watch. Who wouldn't pause to stare at the girl from Big Love sucking off the guy from The OC while Hank Azaria watches in ridiculous high-water pants? Sharon Stone is damn near unrecognizable. I do have to admit, though, I did not realize that Peter Sarsgaard was playing the role of Linda's husband until I looked it up. I swear to you I thought it was Pauly Shore.
-There was a big controversy when Ordeal came out that Linda was really sort of candy-coating her involvement in the whole thing and painting herself as a bigger victim than she really was. If you believe Ordeal, she was 100% innocent. If you believe Inside Deep Throat, she wasn't completely innocent and sort of tripped through things in a happy, dippy way, doing as she was told. And some of the interviews in that really don't make her look like too much of an intellectual, so maybe there's something to that. But as the movie went through its first half, it seemed to REALLY gloss over everything. And just as you were thinking that maybe they were really dicking you over on the truth, they start the second half with her in a polygraph set and go over the whole thing again, but with more ugly. And it's a lot more believable that time.

Akira was more-or-less what I expected. Cool music, weird story, but at least I was able to follow it for the most part.
Ghost In The Shell was the opposite. Pretty dull and a lot going on in the story. And there was a lot of anime boobies. A lot.

I was just going to mention The Wind Rises. I had the same reaction but thought it was also pretty powerful. Some complain it depicts the Japanese death machines in more glorious light which I was guilty of doing myself at first until I went back and reflected on the dialog of Caprioni. I would quote it here but I don't want to spoil anything and I'm on my phone which I'm not going to do now, I'm into deep already.... I'm god damn lazy dude.
Anyways, it's a morally difficult film that fabricates some ideas about jiro (designer of the kamikaze planes known as the zero) and delves into his naive nature that blinds him from what the ultimate use of creation leads too.
A noteworthy thing as well is Werner Herzog does a voice over for the English version which is kind of interesting.

The guy who directed it got a sweet deal. It's raking in cash and everyone's blaming Michael Bay for it being shit.

Watched The Boogens on Blu-ray. The commentary (which is the only special feature) was really entertaining with the director and Rebecca Balding being married. She was constantly correcting him through the whole thing. :halloween2

Just watched FRIGHT NIGHT for the first time, since it's, ykno, on netflix (found it after watching the kickass From Dusk Til Dawn show).
And, well, yeah. It's awesome. Great effects, pretty funny, pretty scary, really 80's (needed more mullets for my taste, though)...
the only gripe I have with the movie is...
Evil Ed.
Holy fuck, is there a more annoying character in cinema? I couldn't stand the little shit. Sure, he ended up being pretty cool near the end, but even then he was grating. I think he scarred me worse than any of the horror or gross out stuff in the movie.

Fallen Angels
Heroes Shed No Tears (which makes half the horror flicks mentioned here look like babby stuff)
And 2 of the movies in the Better Tomorrow series.
Help me out here, Aarg, did I do good?

The last film I watched was Dead Snow, which is a fun Norwegian zombie movie, and is really worth checking out.

It's been years since I've seen that one. I remember it being pretty good, though.
I watched "The Boneyard". It was made by the guy who did the special fx for House. Really enjoyed it and the zombie kids are downright creepy looking.

Yeah, I never liked any of the Broly movies much (there are 3 of them).
Just watched the new Battle of Gods one and it was pretty good. Looks great in HD and I was surprised how DBZish it was after 20 years or whatever it's been.

Calling this movie Xtreme is a huge understatement. I'm pretty sure that what the bellhop did to poor Dunston constitutes bestiality. Pretty sick stuff.

The 10th Victim is pretty good. It gets a bit boring in parts, but it precedes both Battle Royale and The Hunger Games in the "people killing each other in the future" department so you guys should totally name drop it for hipster cred. Ursula Andress is hot. More like Ursula Undress.

I just watched a film on the outer edges of a dead man's lip. It formed over several days and then started to turn white and crack. I can't say I cared for it very much.
