Speaking of docs, that is a damn enjoyable watch, too. Still blows my mind how young they are in so much of that footage.

And on that note, loudQUIETloud is a great insight to Pixies zaniness too, left off of earlier lists.

I've always wanted to enjoy that more than I do. I think the problem is I'm a total Senna fanboy who would've probably been happier with 2 hours of various talking heads simply talking about how great he was. There's so much mythology built up around him, which his cult fandom essentially feeds off, that I actually didn't like seeing any of it chipped away in order to present a more balanced, and certainly truer account.

oh, i never was, or knew much about him tbh, so for me this was a window into a piece of sports history. to me it looked like a total hagiography, with prost as the villain. a less pure image emerges from senna’s wikipedia page, like the 15 year old fiance when he was 25? the movie skips a lot of girlfriends hahahahaha. anyway in the movie i saw him definitely as the good guy. and his ongoing duel with prost was reminiscent of borg/mcenroe.

Found a DVD of his in my drawer, so I put Can’t or Won’t Not on YouTube. That was really nice.

And funnily enough....I just recently watched Hana-Bi recently too. Immediately thought of him when I put it on.

_tunic_ · 05.28.2020, 05:25 PM

Not the best Hitchcock movie but definitely a good one

I really liked this one. Great acting by Viggo as well as most of the kids especially the one wearing the gas mask

!@#$%! · 05.30.2020, 06:14 PM

^^ i liked captain fantastic tons too

-

anyway

the coen bros “hail, caesar!” was great and hilarious

shot by roger deakins and everything in it is really great and smart and tons of fun

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 05.30.2020, 06:53 PM

I mostly just watch old westerns now

Hammer horror too

!@#$%! · 06.02.2020, 08:52 PM

dark star (john carpenter, 1974)

this was a fucking revelation. truckers in space 5 years before alien! and “alien“ before “alien”! except hilarious satire instead of horror. borrows a bit from pkd too. dan o’bannon! who knew??? and john carpenter right out of film school (i think this was a student project that grew into a feature?’

highly recommended to everyone. wow! blew my mind. and i laughed so hard.

LifeDistortion · 06.03.2020, 10:41 PM

Been watching a lot of stuff on HBO Max. I watched Man Bites Dog a couple nights ago and The Lego Movie last night.

great little movie i hadn’t ever heard of but found it on criterion today and blam!

i wasn’t fully aware of greg mottola either, although he was the director of superbad and had a hand in arrested development and other good tv shows.

this was good and funny and a great cast, well beyond the confines of this poster which only features the back seat and is missing the driver, the copilot (lol), and a bunch of other people. just finished a very enjoyable afternoon with it.

-

i am however superdisappointed that criterion took peter greenaway’s “the draughtsman’s contract” offline before i had the chance to see it

One of my favorite films of the 90's. Saw it alone in a grimy art house theater upon release. It still holds up today as anarchic/incisive comedy.

NYCgaf16 · 06.18.2020, 07:58 AM

a doc about CBGB's

i hate one thing about this movie, there was nothing about sonic youth and no-wave scene!

oh, it's not a documentary. it's a heavily fictionalized account.

YES!

Carpenter went on to make more polished films but considering the limitations of budget and that it was essentially a student project (at least to begin with) it really can't be faulted. So many memorable scenes. So many quotable lines. And how many SF films have a country song for a theme tune? Love it to bits.

_tunic_ · 06.18.2020, 10:05 AM

That Dark Star can be watched in full on Youtube btw, thanks for the recommendation. It was cool, especially the super hightech alien, it surely must have cost a fortune in CGI etc

This forum has been down so long, that I forgot what movies I watched. This one was nice, especially because the woman really existed:

_tunic_ · 06.18.2020, 01:14 PM

My memory is returning bits by bits. This one was very funny:

This is the movie, there's also a TV series that I've not seen (but it's running on BBC). Possibly the first New Zealand movie I've ever seen (?)

Rob Instigator · 06.18.2020, 04:36 PM

Great movie, great series. Both are deeply bad ass and hilarious

_tunic_ · 06.20.2020, 10:49 AM

Great movie! It's now also available on Netflix, highly recommended! It's a bit of an odd one for Martin Scorsese amongst his oeuvre of mafia films but that doesn't matter at all

LifeDistortion · 06.20.2020, 11:55 AM

Yesterday I watched Lady Snowblood, really great. Then I watched Uncut Gems which I also enjoyed.

NYCgaf16 · 06.20.2020, 01:50 PM
