Absolutely agreed. And Stanley Kubrick, who made more bad films (Eyes Wide Shut, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange) than good. |

I've never seen Eyes Wide Shut (Tom Cruise just pisses me the hell off, so his movies tend to stand no chance with me), Full Metal Jacket was okay overall (very good first half, underwhelming second), and both The Shining and A Clockwork Orange please me.

no pookie! no! clockwork orange was brilliant. i must have seen it 15 times. best movie ever certainly not but good & groundbreaking in its way. i like barry lyndon better now but anyway. the shining, though quite slow, has amazing cinematography. i don't know if you're telling this from the point of view of a horrorshow hater or stephen king vindicators? i usually dislike horror movies but the shining is a visual delight. full metal jacket was pretty good too. eyes wide shut i feel is where kubrick was misunderstood. i really liked that movie. it was scary. as much as i despise tom cruise he was perfectly cast as this well-meaning but bumbling idiot. and nicole kidman blew the poor little bastard out of the water. |

Lost Highway was probably what led to me pretty much giving up all hope for Lynch. It was such a tease in every way. No delivery. What a shame, because I still think it could have been great.

Wild At Heart, now I do love that one, I think it's fucking hilarious and terribly misunderstood.

Valley Girl and Raising Arizona were phenomenal.

I'm actually going to have to talk about Wild At Heart during my speech on Willem Dafoe that I have to present in class on Tuesday. The assignment was to give an informative speech, and when it comes to things like that I always fall back on Willem Dafoe because I've seen/own an obnoxious amount of his movies. Anyway the speech is called "Willem Dafoe: His Life, His Work, His Face" and it is divided up accordingly. Right now I am working on the PowerPoint presentation that goes along with it. I am awesome at these things, and the first one that I did a few weeks ago totally killed, so I have high hopes for this one.

^^ light sleeper was surprisingly good, i saw it on tv once and wow! dafoe is one of my heroes, great actor-- i think he shouldn't have been the green goblin though-- that was beneath him (though he does have the face for it).

Light Sleeper really is underrated, I talk about it in my speech.
As for the Green Goblin character, I have a lot of quotes from people that I gathered off the internet in regard to it. I am using these in my speech: “Willem Dafoe's face is scary enough without a mask. He could have been the scariest thing on the screen since Alien.” “It also makes the mistake of having some gigantic honking mask to cover up Willem Dafoe's face. It would have been much more creepy just to have Willem Dafoe making insane expressions and jumping around in a green leotard, I think, because that guy's wrinkled, plastic face freaks me out.” “I'm not a big fan of having to look at Willem Dafoe's face for an extended period of time, so it didn't have much of a chance with me from the beginning.”

Incidentaly, I didn't totally hate Gone In 60 Seconds, at least when it came out. I think this was mostly due to it being roughly around the Fast and Furious release (once again, didn't check imdb for this one) and compared to it, it was a masterpiece. Of course, that's not saying much.
