sweet jeebus i hate both those movies-- i hate most of hollywood's "golden age" big budget productions.

come to think of it, i hate most of today's hollywood big budget productions

no personal criticism of you-- it's just that those particular movies give me hives-- same as, oh, the 10 commandments, spartacus, etc. etc.


that movie is FUCKING BRILLIANT!


a lotta indie filmmakers tend to do that shit so that their stuff qualifies as a "feature" rather than a short-- lots more $$ there. so yeah, there's a "standard" all suckas strive for, no matter if the story has enough steam to fill it up or not.

there should be short films before features instead of so many craptastic commercials at the movies. it used to be like that in ancient times.

anyhuevos i watched this for the 2nd time last night:





funny thing i noticed, most of hipsterdom 40 years ago is still the same today.

and the desperate for fame are the same too, except now there's facebook and people try on their own.

except for the band's clothes-- too fucking shiny. and men wear less suits.

but anyway the guy walks into a show the band is playing i say holy fuck good guitar and who is it? it's jimmy fucking page with the yardbirds (pre-zeppelin) and i laughed a bit.

joints were humongous too-- that was the pre-hydro era.

good fucking movie anyway. the very last scene is fucking brilliant.

Saw that for the first time last week..strange. Loved it, though.

What other Antonionis should I see? I've seen ZABRISKIE POINT and THE PASSENGER which were both alright. LA NOTTE was good though.

8/10. Tim Roth's first role, and it's fucking awesome, he was already a great actor.

Is it me or does the New York media absolutely adore contemporary and controversial movies from Britain? Not that I'm complaining, as it fills me with pride that they do.

new york media ignores anything not originating, referencing, or praising NYC.

The latest "Kitchen Sink" British movie the New York media are loving is "Fish Tank". I read the girl in it was cast after being spotted arguing with her boyfriend in a railway station!

Not to worry !@#$%! none taken. I'm sure there's something out there that you think is the shit and I think sucks. They're all just opinions why some people take them as an attack on their character when some one disagrees with them is beyond me...

there are enough movie to go around

personally, I laughed my ass of at shitty MAJOR PAYNE

9/10. Wall·E is better, Up is better, Wall·E is better, Up is better, Wall·E is better, Up is better, ...

English title: "No one knows about Persian Cats"

Just OK, it's often awkward in the story-telling and sometimes badly shot (while the subject was very promising).

Even better than I remembered. Fucking classic.

I thought Short Cuts was alright. Too long, haha. Didn't like the DEUX EX MACHINA ending. Didn't like a lot of the stories, I thought they focused on some of the less compelling characters too much. Pretty good though.

I have been watching shin chan.

fucking fucking fucking amazing.. from start to finish

I love the ending because of its deus ex machinaness. Then again, I love Magnolia, and that basically does exactly the same thing, but even more so. You are right that some of the characters should have got more screen time though. Like Chris Penn and Tom Waits' stories. But generally, I just adore the film. Since seeing it for the first time I've become a huge fan of Carver's writing, and seeing Altman just weave all those stories together like that is a joy. The acting is also amazing all around. Like Jack Lemmon's scene where he talks to his son. That floored me.

Evil Dead

....still didn't do enough for me to fall in love with

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Evil Dead anymore. Army of Darkness, also, never saw the big deal with that one.

EVIL DEAD 2, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

Evil Dead II is indeed a masterpiece. But The Evil Dead is one of my favorite movies ever.
