_slavo_ · 10.13.2008, 03:32 AM

"Battle in Seattle"

a pretty good movie, surprised me quite a bit in a good way.

viewtiful_alan · 10.13.2008, 12:15 PM

God damn this movie was heavy.

I used to love this movie when I was about 15, back in my gangsta rap phase. It's still a good movie, but I see it differently than I did then, for obvious reasons

neptuneg · 10.13.2008, 12:25 PM

I just saw Religulous.

Well its clearly trying to demonize that lifestyle, I'm actually kind of confused that people would think otherwise..

Exactly, the movie is showing how horrible that lifestyle was, but people who are all into gangsta rap (like myself, at 15) thought it was cool and that was how cool people lived.

There, I just admitted I usedto be an idiot. Happy?

viewtiful_alan · 10.13.2008, 01:09 PM

Haha oh yes, ecstatic.
Nah its a cool movie in several ways, I can get it. LIke all the idiots who dont get a clockwork orange, and think that movie glamourizes being a thug XD.

Was it just me or is menace really similar to american history x? or maybe its the other way around.

Silent Dan Speaks · 10.13.2008, 03:35 PM

I watched Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Prince of Space over the weekend. Good stuff.

I can see some similarities there. The whole "guy in a situation that he shouldn't be in and almost makes it out but then gets killed by the same lifestyle that he was trying to get away from" idea.

RdTv · 10.13.2008, 07:24 PM

Great movie. Maybe kinda slow for some people, but the fact that it takes place in Brazil during the 1970 world cup more than made up for it.

samuel · 10.13.2008, 09:30 PM

Quarantine

I guess it was alright.

I also saw Body of Lies a week ago... free sneak preview at the university. It was good.

atsonicpark · 10.13.2008, 09:58 PM

I bet Quarantine sucks. [Rec] was pretty decent in parts though.

I have just been watching documentaries.. my kid could paint that, going to pieces: rise and fall of slasher films, sick: the bob flannegan story, etc.

GOING TO PIECES was pretty good. The only film they mention that I havent seen is THE PROWLER. That one's tough to come by. But I was glad they mentioned THE BURNING. One of my all time favs.

atsonicpark · 10.14.2008, 07:33 AM

I have the Prowler. It's alright. I've seen every film they mentioned... except the Burning! How weird is that? I have it queued on netflix though.

A scene at the sea: 7/10
Zatoichi: 7/10
At Close Range: 6/10
Feast II: 5/10 [fucking hilarious movie though]

fugazifan · 10.14.2008, 08:58 AM

Damn. THE BURNING is amazing. I don't wanna overhype it, but I love it. But yeah, I've seen (and own, I think) every other film mentioned. Slashers are by far my all time favorite genre.

I'm not too interested in FEAST II, because I pretty much hated the first one.

noisereductions · 10.14.2008, 11:24 AM

I should note that the "raft scene" is the best in THE BURNING, so it's sort of unfortunate that they show so much of it in the documentary, because then you're missing that element of surprise.

The same can be said of them showing so much of the "car scene" from MANIAC. Though MANIAC is effing tense throughout.
