It was mentioned in passing

All Hail Duke Jul 11th, 2011 02:44 PM

fellini's casanova
that was pretty damned weird

Kitsa Jul 11th, 2011 03:31 PM

I've known about the foot fetish thing for a very long time, but every once in a while when someone directly addresses it, it seems weird and uncomfortable. Like when he was on Tyra and she said "I know what YOUUUUU LIIIKE" and took off her shoe and waggled her foot in front of him.

The scene where Salma Hayek poured booze down her leg, over her foot, into his mouth made me similarly uncomfortable, although I'm not exactly sure why. I don't have a problem with foot fetishes in theory.

I myself am quite safe from Mr Tarantino, as he seems to like long, bony feet with skinny bony toes, and mine look nothing like that. Also because I don't know the man at all.

Fathom Zero Jul 11th, 2011 09:09 PM

I don't understand why fetishes creep people out any more than "normal" sex.

Pentegarn Jul 12th, 2011 07:16 AM

Since you asked that, I wonder if normal sex creeps out people with fetishes?

Fathom Zero Jul 12th, 2011 08:10 AM

As someone with (a number of) fetishes, I can say that all sex is off-putting at a certain level.

Kitsa Jul 12th, 2011 08:18 AM

That's part of it.

I was going to say it was the overtness of the sexuality, but that's not it exactly. It's more the unexpected intimacy. He's not playing someone who gets off at (fetish), he's actually getting off on it then. I mean, it's not like he's whipping it out in scene or something, but it's in the background somewhere.

Fathom Zero Jul 12th, 2011 08:22 AM

WHAT'S IN A MOTIF?

Phoenix Gamma Jul 13th, 2011 12:28 AM

Just saw Horrible Bosses. My date suggested it on the basis of Jennifer Aniston raping that dude from It's Always Sunny, so we came for that (and boy did we!) but stayed for the comedy, because it was actually really funny. Kevin Spacey has some great moments. It just sucks that he's the only boss that really gets much screentime, cause I wanted to see more of Colin Farell and Aniston.

Do it. It's cringe-y enough.

I'm about to watch the Long Kiss Goodnight. I'll let you guys know how that goes in a couple hours.

Long Kiss Goodnight - one of the craziest action movies ever. Lot's of explosions. Awww yeh. I'm a sucker for lady assassin movies.

I liked the first half of it. It gets worse as it goes on. Especially with the climax.

I think I wouldn't hate it if people didn't defend it and I hadn't wasted money to see that pile of shit in theaters.

Pentegarn Jul 14th, 2011 07:44 AM

Never saw that one, but I was done with Bond movies after the whole "Christmas comes more than once a year" line

Thats my favorite. Except when they toned it down for the N64 version ending and he's all just like "Merry Christmas" instead.

edit: Meant it as "That's my favorite bond one liner, not my bond favorite movie."

Favorite bond movie is torn between new casino royale, a view to a kill and live and let die.

Pentegarn Jul 14th, 2011 06:44 PM

Thing is the Bond movie one liners were more sophisticated than that back in their heyday. I blame devolved writers trying to be edgy though

Saw Thor and man it was dang forgettable. The fun was mostly imagining the lead as a euro fantasy metal head living it up.

I guess I would have to read some Thor to really enjoy it. idk

You pretty much deacribed rock and roll nightmare. Piece of 80's terribleness.

Shyandquietguy Jul 17th, 2011 08:32 PM

I just saw most of Microcosmos. Really neat nature documentary as it doesn't explain the motives or what is even going on. There are some parts where it seems to drag on but it's alright. Awesome parts
SPOILERS
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SHIT!!!
[spoilers]I started rooting for a ladybug getting it on mainly because he was having a hard time getting a grip! Then there was a puddle with ants surrounding it. One of them looked up to check the surrounding and resumed drinking. I couldn't help but imagine an ant sized crocodile lunging and dragging him underneath when the camera cut off.[/spoilers]

And sadly my god damn computer can't do HD streaming without it being unbearable. Fuck you 3 year old computer. I don't have money for you. >:(

Mad Melvin Jul 18th, 2011 06:58 AM

I just bought Fisher King and that Larry Flint movie with Woody Harrelson. Don't remember anything about either of them. I'll post my opinion later when I have watched them. Stay tuned and try not to shit your pants from the excitement.

Fathom Zero Jul 18th, 2011 03:36 PM

About to watch Subway. Have immensely high hopes for it. I don't think I'll be disappointed.


Mad Melvin Jul 19th, 2011 05:51 PM

People vs. Larry Flynt was pretty good. Seemed like there were a lot of scenes missing, though. The whole movie was in fast forward. It still worked, but I would have liked if the movie was a bit longer.

Suprisingly, I really liked Courtney Love's performance. Especially towards the end. But then again, how hard it is for her to play a junkie.

Pentegarn Jul 19th, 2011 05:57 PM

One of my favorite places to eat is in the background of a scene when he is in Ohio

Shrubfest Jul 21st, 2011 10:59 AM

I actually enjoyed Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle. In a non-sex way. She's really charismatic.

And also apparently now has a Doctorate.

It was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I was so sad when it had to end. I don't think I can watch it ever again. :(

I always thought she should have gotten the Nancy Spungen role in "Sid and Nancy", instead of just a bit part.

Geggy Jul 21st, 2011 11:39 PM

Adjustment bureau. Horrible acting but still an interesting movie nonetheless

Mad Melvin Jul 22nd, 2011 06:48 PM

Fisher King

Remember when Terry Gilliam made good movies? Yeah, this is one of them. Just pure awesomeness.

All Hail Duke Jul 23rd, 2011 04:20 PM

silence of the lambs

-just as good as ever

Tadao Jul 24th, 2011 03:21 PM

Insidious creeped me out a few times but all in all it was a lame movie.

Is that the movie where Matt Damon is running?

Pentegarn Jul 24th, 2011 03:50 PM

Just saw Captain America, here's my review:


All Hail Duke Jul 25th, 2011 03:56 AM

auto focus

crane had a fucked up life

darkvare Jul 25th, 2011 12:50 PM

lucky number slevin i love this movie

All Hail Duke Jul 25th, 2011 02:14 PM

land before time

i couldn't sleep and that was the best thing on

k0k0 Jul 25th, 2011 04:52 PM

Mystery Team

I can only sit through the first hour of this movie usually, but the first hour is funny as shit.

10,000 Volt Ghost Jul 25th, 2011 05:04 PM

Mystery team is hilarious. I wasn't expecting much from it so it was all the more pleasant.

Tadao Jul 25th, 2011 05:08 PM

88 minutes was predictable and stupid. Al Pacino's worst movie that I know of.

Fathom Zero Jul 25th, 2011 05:12 PM

I hated that movie so much. Fuck Pacino, his orange hair, and his lifts.

Tadao Jul 25th, 2011 05:20 PM

Yeah, his hair was bugging me. Like it was full of helium.

k0k0 Jul 25th, 2011 05:20 PM


It's always the lifts that ruins ya.

I think he runs in all of his movies. Bourne supremacy, adjustment bureau, the ending of good will hunting.

I saw captain America yesterday. Surpringly entertaining. I'd rate it up there with dark Knight and iron man. But I didn't Like the way he portrayed himself as poster boy of lebron james generation during the introduction on stage.

Pentegarn Jul 25th, 2011 07:32 PM

Actually his on stage stuff was a fairly accurate portrayal of WWII era patriotic propaganda. It amused me for that reason

Dixie Jul 26th, 2011 04:19 PM

I had lower expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. I thought it was a bit too long than it probably should of been but wasn't terrible so that was good.

Pentegarn Jul 26th, 2011 09:32 PM

Plus Agent Smith was in it

All Hail Duke Jul 27th, 2011 06:31 AM

batteries not included
return to oz

i can't sleep and i'm bored so i watched them

Kitsa Jul 27th, 2011 05:41 PM

La Faute à Fidel (Blame it on Fidel).

I read reviews that this was a really charming coming-of-age movie, but it was really sad and depressing and slow. It's about as cheery as Mouchette, which ends with

Spoilers!


Blame it on Fidel is about this little French girl who comes from a wealthy but not necessarily happy family. While she's attending her aunt and uncle's wedding at her wealthy grandparents' vineyard, she becomes aware that her dad's sister is there with her daughter, Pilar. They're refugees from Franco's Spain, and their arrival in France is a sort of catalyst for her parents going completely politically flaky.

Most of the early movie is about the girl's (Anna's) privileged life...convent schools, huge house, vacations in the country, swim meets, and so on. But as her dad and mom become "inspired" to be social activists, her childhood as she knew it gradually disappears. The parents, giving not a single shit about how it'll affect their kids' happiness or stability, decide suddenly to become communists, run off to Chile, trade the big house for a cramped apartment filled with "revolutionaries", and so on. The mother, who had a cushy writing job with Marie-Claire, decides to randomly and fervently adopt feminist causes instead. The kids are just kind of lost in all of this. They never know who they'll meet coming home from school, because their parents ditched the nanny they grew up with in favor of various refugee women.

Soon, the poor kids are so confused they don't know what's right anymore. Their grandparents are strict, moneyed Catholics and represent the comfort the children are used to; the parents are fickle and sort of fashionably Communist and get pissed if the kids don't jump on all the arbitrary bandwagons they do. At one point, they actually drag the little girl to a protest march, not seeming to care when she gets tear-gassed and lost.

The girl gets in some good observations, asking them if they really understand the difference between "group solidarity" and "sheep-thinking". She appears scowling and thoughtful throughout the movie, like she's trying to assemble some sort of belief system from all the crap that's being thrown at her.

I'm not exactly sure what point the director was wanting to make, so I took from it that her parents' fickleness and unreliability, combined with what she absorbed and observed, made her a stronger and smarter kid.

By the end of the movie I really hated her parents, but she seemed to grow to accept them.

One of the sadder parts for me was the repetition of scenes where kids wanted to "Sunday" (sort of a French family thing where the entire family hangs out together, it's called "Sundaying") and the parents eventually just blew them off altogether with some sort of crap about bourgeois yadda yadda.

Depressing movie.

All Hail Duke Jul 27th, 2011 11:21 PM

south park bigger, longer and uncut

love this movie to bits

Tadao Jul 27th, 2011 11:55 PM

Watched Young Guns for the 12th time. :wank

10,000 Volt Ghost Jul 28th, 2011 10:59 AM

Dinner for Schmucks was really funny.

Halway through watching iron man 2.

Aaarg Jul 28th, 2011 11:19 AM

re-watched mr vampire

because mr vampire is great

Tadao Jul 28th, 2011 11:28 AM

Red Riding Hood

It was alright I guess. Better than I expected. IDK what to say about it really. Worth watching on a calm day, not much action.

All Hail Duke Jul 30th, 2011 01:44 AM

the dead zone and the american

both very good and the latter is criminally underrated (at least i think so)

Kitsa Jul 30th, 2011 11:50 PM

Party Monster. Great movie overall, although I saw a couple of things yoinked from other places that could easily have just been the "New York in the 70s-80s" thing talking.

Loved Seth Green. Marilyn Manson was so good as a scene tranny that I thought he was one, like Candy Darling or something.

Could not freaking stand Macaulay Culkin.

All Hail Duke Jul 31st, 2011 01:17 AM

the town

eh, it was ok but got bored watching it

Tadao Aug 1st, 2011 03:10 AM

Battle : Los Angeles was predictable and there is no way Marines would walk around in the open and talk so much chit chat during an alien attack.

I fucking love that movie. I wish I had a gang that I could shout "REGULATORS!" to.

I just watched some mediocre movies on Netflix. I expected watchable shit from them, and that's what I got.

Feast
Doomsday
The Sentinel (though this one was the best of the bunch and is kind of extra enjoyable simply because it's an old horror movie with a bunch of well-known actors.)

Fathom Zero Aug 1st, 2011 02:53 PM

Cowboys & Aliens. Silly little movie that was well worth the price of free that I paid to see it.

Daniel Craig is so dreamy. As was Olivia Wilde.

srsly, the whole movie was a good time, even though it was all pretty predictable. And it's got Sam Rockwell and Clancy Brown in it. :O

k0k0 Aug 1st, 2011 03:18 PM

It would have been better if it was just a western with those characters.

Zomboid Aug 2nd, 2011 01:45 AM

Yeah, I watched that again for the first time in years sometime last summer. I loved the one with the little puppets.

Last night, I watched "The Station Agent," which was very, very enjoyable. Peter Dinklage is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors.

All Hail Duke Aug 2nd, 2011 06:14 AM

captain america

thought it was pretty good, evans' head on the small body was goofy as hell looking though

Tadao Aug 2nd, 2011 12:43 PM

Sucker Punch : I can't say that I enjoyed it. The plot was meh and there was not nearly enough ass shots.

10,000 Volt Ghost Aug 2nd, 2011 04:42 PM

Sucker punch is a well named movie. You think you're going to be watching something totally awesome. Then as soon as she gets locked up its all downhill.

I bought Rango, Hobo With A Shotgun, and Tangled the other day. So far I've only watched through Rango, and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it.


I also watched The Outlaw Josey Wales yesterday. I love me some classic Eastwood westerns.

k0k0 Aug 3rd, 2011 06:57 AM

Watched Run Ronnie Run again tonight. Is an excellent movie for the first half of it, then just kind of peters out. It's still worth it for the first half alone though.

I bet you find Coen Brothers films too hard to follow. You probably look at other people and try to gauge when to laugh.

WhiteRat Aug 4th, 2011 01:00 AM

Saw Transformers 3 today. I'm by no means a fan of the series; only saw the first and thought it was ok at best. This one, aside from being long as all hell, surprisingly wasn't bad. 6 out of 10 stars or something like that.

All Hail Duke Aug 4th, 2011 03:56 AM

I saw this for the first time a few months ago and wasn't really impressed. If someone buys me the Jiffy Pop brand popcorn I would be willing to give it another shot.

Mad Melvin Aug 6th, 2011 07:23 PM

Super 8

Meh. The child actors didn't make me want to kill myself, so that's a plus. A few good scenes, but overall the movie was just too dumb to enjoy.

Nick Aug 6th, 2011 08:46 PM

My friend went to see that yesterday, and said it was a great movie. Something about how everything but the story was fun. I didn't think it looked all that interesting to watch.

Yeah, sure. It's a great movie if you enjoy the following things:
