Good choices Aaarg, The Church is amazing, especially the beginning. I love seeing child filled wicker baskets being trampled upon.
Oh yeah, I just watched all of the Curb your Enthusiasm seasons along with another viewing of all the seasons of Mr. Show.

spanish horror is always so disappointing.
oh well at least i didn't buy this one!

Check out Zombie Oasis Aaarg. Jesus Franco is a really good director and writer from Spain who's made a whole slew of amazing horror movies. IMDB his name or whatever, comes out with about a hundred movies he's done.

Wes craven used to direct porn, didn't he? I thought I remembered seeing him say that in an interview.
Now, if it had been Wes Anderson, I would need to see that.
Aaarg
Jul 18th, 2012, 06:57 PM
yeah the catholic movie. super boring. i agreed to watch it without seeing even a basic synopsis, which was a mistake because i forgot that other people like boring crap.
the whole time, i was like "ok so when does the murder/demonsummon/ghostattack happen?"
bullshit.
why the hell would you have a movie take place in a church unless there's fucking demons goddammit?

once i mentioned seeing that and my girlfriend totally outsnobbed me, scoffing, "the movie?"
so i just watched THE BEYOND and it didn't live up to the hype. i loved the amount of rubber faces, though.

I'm actually quite fond of the beyond, but then again I pretty much love everything done by fulci due alone to the fact of the mass amounts of rubbery gore.
As far as hedwig, as far as I know the movie is a beyond exceptional adaptation of the musical.

the dirtbike, herman munster was in the first movie

Jul 19th, 2012, 08:33 AM
I saw it live, not with the creator as Hedwig but with an actual transgender person doing the role so there was a lot of emotion there, it was pretty cool.
I like Wig in a Box.
There's nothing wrong with the film adaptation, it's about the best adaptation of a musical there is.

Kitsa
Jul 19th, 2012, 09:25 PM
I guess what I mean is that it's an emotional story anyway and having someone with similar issues playing the title role was a more authentic experience or something.
Not so much that it was novel that the person had sexual ambiguity issues.
Dimnos

:rolleyes To the whole "Im gay and I have it so bad." crap. Its not the 80's anymore.
Kitsa
Jul 20th, 2012, 11:50 AM
Well, I liked it, anyway.
I don't think it was a gay thing. I think on the surface it was, and it kind of got tied up in the gay pride thing, but it just has a lot of gay ingredients, if that makes any sense.
I thought Hedwig was a pretty classic plot of "The gradual redemption of a tragic figure for whom everything has gone to shit". In the end, he realized he no longer needed the drag-queen persona and abandoned it, epiphany and whatnot.

Yeah, I believe the creator/Hedwig has an interest in mythology.
Babs
Jul 20th, 2012, 01:47 PM
Yeah, about the whole homo thing, I don't think that's the main focus what so ever, if anything it's there to create a bigger turbulation to the love story.
As for the whole Greek creation theory, that's why I really like that song. I especially like the part where he says, "sewed the wound up to a hole and pulled it around to our bellies to remind us the price we paid".
Kitsa
Jul 20th, 2012, 08:33 PM
Also, I was all kinds of impressed with Miriam Shor as Yitzhak. I think it was the first time I ever saw her not angry.
The thing I really like about Hedwig is that it's got that magical quality where, when you finish, it feels like you've actually been through something. There aren't a lot of works I'm that invested in. I haven't really had an experience like that since the mid nineties when I was doing the rhps thing (because I was a performance under-undergrad and that's what everyone was doing and they needed a redhead). By the time you'd gone all the way through the show it felt like you'd been through some sort of ordeal. Can't quite explain it, just something about it.

HIGH STRUNG
steve oedekerk bitching about how much everything sucks in his apartment and jim carrey plays death who shows up for a few minutes at the end. i think this movie would have been better at what it was attempting to do if they didn't go for a PG rating. as the type of pathetic, misanthropic, paranoid, ill-informed know-it-all that this movie is trying to create, i can say for a fact that if you're fuming about something as insignificant as waitresses bringing you extra coffee, you're going to use a little more... colorful language.
you wouldn't tell your boss's wife to take something and shove it "up her butt," at least.

Gomorrah.
It's ok. The first five minutes were so easily predicted that it made me wonder why the hell it took so long.
Near the beginning, though, there were some kids playing in a pool and they had this giant raft that looked like a bunch of bananas. Damn I want that thing.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
It was just another one of the new "nutrition shocker" movies, which I feel obligated somehow to watch. I think a 2 month juice fast is less practical than eating vegetarian whole-foods in a standard meal format, but to each his own. It went pretty much the way you'd expect it to go. You'll never see a really sanctimonious diet-change movie that ends with everyone dead.
It did creep me out a little the way he bought produce at roadside stands and put it directly in a juicer in the back of his car. I'd have washed it first, myself.
All Hail Duke

dark knight rises-it has it's pros (bane and catwoman mostly), but it has far too many cons
so instead of being a great trilogy, we've got two really good movies and an average one to finish it off

I love the main theme for the movie, though I don't entirely like all of the score.
I recetly watched Opera again. I really fucking hate the 80's hair/glam music they use during the murders, awfully cheap.

Savages : It was alright. Some how they made 2 guys screwing the same girl dull. They story was typical and didn't make you think about how the world works or what you would do in the situation or anything at all really. Selma is hawt. Del Toro is awesome but boring.
Actually the movie sucked now that I reflect on it.
The Dark Knight Rises : Just got back from the theater and I this is probably the worst of the Bale Batmans. It was 3 hours of slow drama.

I have a week coming up where I'll have a lot of movie-watching time, so if anyone has an opinion on weird shit I need to see on netflix, I'm listening.
I used to be very into J-horror, not so much now (I think it's past its prime). Hate action movies/romances/most dramas. Love documentaries.
kahljorn
Jul 31st, 2012, 01:15 PM
if you hate action/romances/dramas that means you hate like every movie basically;/
Drive is on netflix id recommend that. The same guy that did that also did Bronson -- which is a biopic and is also on netflix.
They have PUBLIC ENEMY: MEZRINE on netflix that was pretty good and its also like a documentary.

here's what i've watched in the past two days or so
vampire vs vampire - lam ching-ying fighting vampires again, count me in. the whole movie is tainted by a few shots of real bats being hurt, but if animal abuse doesn't bother you this movie is great.
police story 2 - late 80s jackie chan action flick, count me in. i have nothing bad to say about this one.
deep red - old dario argento movie, count me in. not as great as his straight horror films, but this one's definitely better than i expected. as much as i love goblin, this isn't their best score.
spooky, spooky - sammo hung produced hk horror/comedy, count me in. i don't remember much about this. it was ok. silly.

Xtro - Early 80's sci-fi horror trying to cash in on the same fame that Alien cashed in on earlier, hence face raping aliens.
The Cellar - A hidden gem I found at a local store. I really like this movie a lot, I'm a real big sucker for emotionless actors, especially those who really work the eyebrows (insert Silent Nighty, Deadly Night 2). Premise, Indians embody the spirit of some evil folklore legend and use a spear as some sort of protective barrier by placing it in the ground?? Yeah, so, a kid with a bowl cut comes up and plays with the spear and shit hits the fan. Now this beast breaks lose from THE CELLAR and tries claiming bowl cuts baby brother because according to the movies logic, baby's have souls and aren't a where of it, therefore the cellar beast must tap that. Long story short, rubber and caro syrup.

what samurai movies do you like a lot? I've been watching lots of samurai movies.
Have you seen sword of doom? That movie is so cool until the last ten minutes ;/
i watched the first half of Furin Kazan last night and that movie is pretty amazing so far. It's produced by Toshiro Mifune
Tadao
Aug 2nd, 2012, 12:19 PM
asiatorrents.me or kat.ph are my two back up places besides piratebay.
I mostly download them for my dad. He used to watch them on the movie screen and misses the old days. Right now I'm getting him the full collection of Zatoichi. Zatoichi is a pretty awesome series if you have never seen it before. I think I got him sword of doom recently but I actually don't have any time to watch these movies :(
I have hard encode the subs before I burn them onto a dvd. I find that XviD4PSP 5 works the best. I've had problems in the past with others that would move the subtitles out of synch.
Also, there are tons of substitle sites. If I need to find one for a movie I would google this example.
subs Breaking.Bad.S05E02.Madrigal.HDTV.x264-FQM.mp4
you pretty much need the monikers of the rippper in the search ie"HDTV.x264-FQM" or you might get a differently timed sub for a different rip.
kahljorn
Aug 2nd, 2012, 12:57 PM
i never got into zatoichi cuz i saw the remake first, and it uses (bad)cgi for blood/fight scenes and it looked really stupid. but i just downloaded some of the original ones recently
i think i looked at asiatorrents but you need an account. maybe ill look more into that place.
SWORDOFDOOMSPOILER
sword of doom is super cool but instead of having a climax with a final battle where he fights these two dudes you expect him to fight or even at least one of them he just goes crazy and the end of the movie is him going crazy from grief/ghosts killing everyone around him and it doesn't even show him dying
it was like literally ten minutes of him swinging his sword at ghosts destroying some blinds, then some dudes see him and are like THIS GUYS SWINGIN HIS SWORD LETS GET HIM and then its ten minutes of him being crazy and killing those people >:
>:
Tadao
Aug 2nd, 2012, 01:05 PM
:lol sword of doom sounds like I'll have to reget it.
Yeah I stayed away from asiatorrent for the longest time, but then I got sick of them being the only game in town that had my movies so I signed up with one of my disposable emails.
I have yet to watch the Beat Takashi Zatoichi and I really don't think I ever will. I assume you have seen the Lone Wolf and Cubs yeah? Don't get Samurai Assassin as it is all 6 Lone Wolf and Cubs edited down to 2 movies with bad dubbing. :(
kahljorn
Aug 2nd, 2012, 01:07 PM
yea ive seen shogun assassin and lonewolf and cubs.
there's actually a lonewolf and cub tv series too and i think there might be more than six movies.
the best/worst part of lonewolf and cub is when he started using his stroller as a machinegun.

DERSU UZALA
I love this movie like it's my favorite. Great movie.
Early Kurosawa is pretty hit-or-miss, for me. I recently watched I Live in Fear and it just wasn't what it should have been. Also, it stars young Mifune as an old man and it just doesn't work.
I thought I'd seen Sword of Doom but apparently not so now I have to.
I was thinking of Sword of the Beast apparently, a Hideo Gosha film. He made a bunch of samurai movies, but I think I've only seen the one.
The Samurai trilogy is pretty good, but also not very action-packed or whatever. Beautiful scenery and Toshiro Mifune and I'm easy to please.

I love this movie like it's my favorite. Great movie.lol i still remember you talking about this
i never really liked kurosawa's samurai stuff tbh. Too much whinyness/screaming/annoying characters. His Shakespeare renditions are ok though cause they fit in with the whinyness/screaming/annoying overacting.
I've been thinking of rewatching more of his stuff to see if I'll havea better appreciation of it. But id rather watch the millions of renditions of Yojimbo than actually watch Yojimbo :\
altho i do remember liking Kagemusha more than his other stuff

kurosawa's non-samurai stuff (like dersu uzala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is excellent. red beard, AS AN EXAMPLE.

i think madadayo is his last movie and it's pretty good. if you like old folks, at least.

but yes it was a very pretty movie. The scene in the village where it shows the river reminds me a lot of Tarkovsky.

oh no! why? because it's slow and not much happens?
i just like it because it's pretty and sometimes that's all it takes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaarg
Aug 2nd, 2012, 04:10 PM
i think the part i'm remembering is the nuclear one. it's just a few survivors with erupting fuji-san in the background!!!!!!!!!!!!

red beard is good though. 8)

It's implied that they're blind and have resigned themselves to being in a hellish wasteland with "all therein that may be explored."

I thought it was a Lovecraftian thing. They saw something they couldn't unsee and now they're changed forever (goldeyes). To be honest though I don't think they put much thought into these thing. Lucio or whatever his name is probably just thought it would look cool.
Fathom Zero
Aug 3rd, 2012, 06:04 PM
Also a good point. Vision is important to the plot of the movie, with the big baddie being an old painter. They'd been thrown into the nightmarescape he was painting earlier in the movie.
Freaky eyes is a good visual cue that something warped went on in someone's head, even almost ending up hacky here. But I thought the set, the acting, and the score during the finale just made the whole thing beautiful.
Mario and Lamberto Bava's movies are my favorites, though. Argento can feel too artsy if someone's not up for that type of movie. But Demons is one of my favorite movies of all time. Excellent visuals and makeup, along with a plot that doesn't pull punches. EVERYONE IN THIS THEATER MUST DIE.
ESPECIALLY THE BADASS PIMP.

I thought it was a Lovecraftian thing. They saw something they couldn't unsee and now they're changed forever (goldeyes).yea thats the other thing i was thinking. Kinda like in the one lovecraft movie where the thing grows out of his head and he basically starts seeing with his 3rdeye.
I'd really go for the Dante thing though, "Into the blind world we now descend." Isn't the director Italian?

Very much so. Italian horror and horror literature is a very distinct thing, reaching wayyyyyyy back, especially to Dante.
Kitsa
Aug 3rd, 2012, 09:32 PM
I would go for Dante over Lovecraft. I guess it's more the timing of weirdeyes than anything. This was one of those instances that felt like a grand, sweeping directorial gesture..."and now...weirdeyes."
As opposed to, say, Event Horizon, that might as well have been renamed "Surprise, No Eyeballs!"

By the way Fathom, I watched a good half hour of the video you posted entitled "Color of Pomegranates" and it really reminded me of Jiri Barta, with the exception that Barta mainly does stop motion instead.

I saw the Hungry Games. I think the best part about the movie was calling it the Hungry Games and having people correct me while I still call it that. It has a good premise, mainly because it's based on a good book. But the movie itself, while interesting, just doesn't deliver. In the run up to 'the games', it was said that a lot of people participating die of starvation or dehydration. Nobody is even remotely hungry in this movie. I watch a movie called the hungry games so that I can see hungry people.

Meanwhile, a "second" BR/HG takes place that is slightly less organized, slightly more disjointed, and way more easily bringdownable.

See, now the bee thing I don't get. Everyone says that the bees are vanishing, but being severely allergic to the fuckers I have a stake in observing them, and I can tell you with utter certainty that they have been EVERYWHERE the past few years. I said something before about taking photos of a sculpture park for a website and being trapped in a meadow swarming with honeybees. There are more honeybees...not yellowjackets, not bumblebees, not wood bees, HONEYBEES...in my yard than ever before. They run the butterflies off my butterfly bushes and the three big spiderwebs I brought down yesterday had two or three honeybees in them apiece. So maybe this virus-parasite-whatever just paved the way for a new race of superbees or something, because they sure aren't scarce around here.

A coming-of-age/coming out story adapted from the "memoir by British food writer, journalist and TV host Nigel Slater, the title refers to Slater's kitchen-challenged mother's one foolproof recipe; the go-to dish that regularly followed her home-cooked disasters, which were often of the boiled-in-their-own-can variety." Takes place in 1960s Britain and features fantastic music selections. It's a hearty period piece that tackles family dynamics, a new parent, competition, personal success, etc. I am not going to say that it's epic film work, but it was slightly odd, at times voluminous and at times solemn and detached. I don't feel my time was wasted after watching it. So, I consider it fine.

Bjuice is okay, but then it's all wrapped up in that "do I just think it's ok because it was a major part in American childhoods of that era" thing. I've still got some Bjuice burger king or happy meal toys somewhere from the cartoon version.
I made the commitment to watch Eyes of the Mothman at least once over the weekend since it's the Mothman Festival and I can't get there. Like I said earlier, it's really good but really, really long. Also, the editing is kind of weird in that there are abnormally long, dark pauses between segments. A couple of times I thought my laptop had gone to sleep on me before I remembered.
One of the "paranormal investigator" ladies is...I think...married to some guy who runs the TV station there iirc. It's also weird to see in a movie places that I have been. I look at the oak tree behind Cornstalk's grave and think, "my daughter took an acorn home from that tree." No cinematic curse followed us home on that one, btw. I planted the acorn because I was hoping it would grow, but it developed one of those little round worm-holes and shriveled up, producing nothing. I watched it for a while and then chucked it over the fence. We're no more or less cursed than usual.

because that's newer than most of my favorite movies? i don't know what the age has anything to do with, i didn't even know how old this one was. i assumed 70s because that's when horror was alive and well.
it was more the lack of plot and also aliens are boring as f*kc

Hey hey now bro, don't get all crazy on me.
I just want to know why you were disappointed by a movie that was made 30 or more years ago.
You say it's because of plot and aliens, but what is wrong with the plot? How is it lacking? I'm sure you find the movie Alien horrible based on your 14 word synopsis.

I heard House at the End of the Street is basically The Grudge, and fuck that shit, it's already been Americanized once. Twice? Three times.
Not seeing it. I'll wait for moviespoiler.com
Edit: Ok, having just read the spoiler, the person who said it was like The Grudge is apparently an idiot and it is not at all like The Grudge, but it still seems unappealingly long and boring so I'll still skip it.

They got Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov just to be Paul and Mary Bland at the very beginning and then disappear for the rest of the movie. :lol
I also got a shipment in today:

there's an alien in antarctica and it takes on the form of that which it kills/infects. that's the entire plot. add kurt shitty russell and wilford internet-meme brimley and millions of obsessive fans aaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's the thing in a nutshell.
also akira kurosawa never did any horror movies and he's my favorite filmmaker. suck it.

I'm sorry, I considered you a respectable member of our community with rational thought. Should we treat you like GW?
there's an alien in antarctica and it takes on the form of that which it kills/infects. that's the entire plot.
You are saying that more is better? How would you improve on this story? Did it need some kind of M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end? Kurosawa movies have one plot by that standard.
add kurt shitty russell and wilford internet-meme brimley and millions of obsessive fans aaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's the thing in a nutshell.
So the director said to himself "I'm going to cast Russell and Brimley because 20 years from now people are going to do this thing on the internet that will catch on among hipsters!"
Seriously dude, are you really just going to bubble every movie from the past into HIPSTERS LOVE IT SO I CAN'T?
also akira kurosawa never did any horror movies and he's my favorite filmmaker. suck it.
I never said he did. I said
I JUST WATCHED AKIRA KUROSAWA'S MOVIE SEVEN SAMURAI AND HATED IT. I HATE JAPANESE MOVIES THAT TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY, ALSO IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY TENTACLE RAPE.
Also Kurosawa used Yurei several times in his movies which (BACK THEN) was terrifying to the Japanese people. HOW DARE HE!
I don't care if you like the Thing or not. What I do care about is that you frequently talk shit about movies here and never back it up with a reasonable explanation.

It was Lethal Weapon 4 that had Pesci, I think. Right? That was the only one that I saw, aside from the first one.
Actually, I remember him not being a new character so much as a "Oh, hi again!" type.

Some Guy Who Kills People
Great title and suprisingly, a pretty good movie too. It's basically a cliched family movie about a 11-year old girl getting to know his dad she never met before. Both teach each other some valuable life lessons and so on. We've all seen the story a hundred times before, but this time there is some gore, a couple of plot twists, interesting characters and good dialogue. Very entertaining.

The Frighteners is a great movie.
Watched "Santo in the Wax Museum" for the first time ever. I loved how the women would faint at the mere sight of one of the bad guy's henchmen. Also two henchmen means at least a ten minute fight for Santo. And if he takes a knife to the shoulder, it's nighty night.
But my favorite moment had nothing to do with Santo, the insanely slow wax tubes, or the group of werewolf-zombies.
Nope, it's when Dr. Karol (main bad guy) has the secondary character chained up. Does he sucker punch him in the gut? Pull out a weapon? Headbutt him?
