no yeah. that's it. there is no "s", haha. i have to say i haven't seen lolita vibrator torture. i'm really new to the japanese horror/exploitation/slasher stuff... what is the cream of this crop?


just saw Eastern Promises again. its so very good. its succinct. not a wasted second in this movie. perfectly paced. beautifully shot. i love the ending

J-Splatter/Exploitation? There isn't really that many worth going after, surprisingly... I guess SPLATTER: NAKED BLOOD, CRAZY LIPS, RAMPO NOIR, and EVIL DEAD TRAP would probably all be worth checking out... LOVE EXPOSURE is pretty funny, it's 4 hours of panty shots and kung fu..

best fight scene ever

I'm a big big Henry Fonda fan but your pic isn't showing. I'm guessing, you mentioning him playing a bad guy, that it's Once Upon a Time in the West. Right?

only an actor as good as he was could have pulled it off

I've heard rumors about an Eastern Promises sequel, true?

Finally saw "Un Prophet", fucking amazing.

He was the most verstile of all the great Western actors for me; leagues ahead of John Wayne and, while I love Jimmy Stewart, he could never ever do a baddie in the way Fonda could - just as Eastwood could never play a flat out good guy. As well as being a brilliant actor, Fonda also had this thing with his eyes, where he could go from being the gentlest of characters to the coldest. Supposedly, for OAaTitW, he put in brown contacts, to disguise his blue eyes, but Leone had him take them out, thinking his blue eyes were far more chilling. Leone was definitely right.

I watched about an hour of The Aviator. Man, that sucked. The last good (decent) movie I watched was probably Pitfall by Teshigahara. God bless Criterion for putting out this kind of shit it's best available presentation. (Even though they really botched "Branded to Kill" and "Withnail and I.")

Yeeeeeeah. BRANDED TO KILL deserves a beautiful remaster job. What an amazing film.

Adventureland - 4/5
Paper Hearts - 3/5

Adventure land was a million times better than I would have expected. Jesse Eisenberg is the real deal, and who knew the Twilight hottie had acting chops?

I know. I was expecting a dumb comedy like Nick & Norah or something. This was actually really well written, and the 80's theme wasn't in yr face over the top. It felt real. Jesse is generally awesome (did you see Squid & The Whale?). And Kristen Stewart is fantastic. She just gets overlooked becuz Twilight seems so stupid to ppl. But before that she was in some films I saw (Into The Wild, Speak) and she was great. I was a fan of hers by the time Twilight was getting hyped. So whatever. Anyway, I loved it. Really really surprised me.

I didnt know that about the contacts...I really love that movie. Everyone is really great in it.

a mixed bag. it was terrible, but great at times.

then there was emma stone-- most of her web pictures are a little weird, but here she had the right makeup to make her look really, really pretty



the jewish kid, columbus, who the fuck is it? and did they pick him cuz they couldn't get michael cera? he's a lookalike but no way as funny.

I think you mean Jessie Eissenberg who we were just discussing a few posts earlier. Emma Stone is always awesome. She was great in Superbad, and she was the best part of House Bunny.

yeah yeah, him.

emma stone looks lovely in movies. not sure how much she can act but you just wanna keep staring at her.

haven't seen house bunny yet

anyway, the movie-- so fucking talky. especially the first part of the movie-- show, don't tell, motherfucker.

still-- bill murray was hilarious.

Emma Stone looks ridiculously amazing in Zombieland, she's from Scottsdale, AZ, amazing nightlife up there. And Woody was great as always.

Yeah the Squid and the Whale was great. Eisenberg is so ridiculously shitty (as a character), not an actor in that movie, passing off Pink Floyd as his writing, haha. I'm kind of psyched for his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.

I loved when he said THE METAMORPHASIS was Kafka-esque. Haha.
