paranoid park - 8/10
I rewatched this with my girlfriend and I really honestly like it a lot. It may be simplistic and a bit cliche.. but the story is told so well and some parts were very beautifully done. My favourite movie from a director who's actually really average. |

I agree that Gus Van Sant is average, but he is consistent. I think he has made a ton of honest-to-god good films (let's forget Psycho). And all his films have one or two moments that are actually really brilliant. He has yet to make a great film, though My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy, and Mala Noche came close. I think Elephant and Last Days and Gerry are really important, interesting pieces of mainstream cinema. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of a guy who really really wants to be Jon Jost, but is too afraid of his mainstream credibility being damaged so he never goes all the way. I'd rather watch Bed You Sleep In or Bell Diamond.
Anyway, Paranoid Park actually is good. Gus creates a good atmosphere. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of what Larry Clark often aspires to do, but Larry Clark is an idiot piece of shit. |

i like larry clark's 'Bully' better than most Van Sant films I've seen. [drug cow, par park, milk, elephant, cowgirls, forrester, good will, and what 'last days' i could stand].
i would probably like idaho or to die for though. r they good?

I think Bully is his only good film.
To Die For is good, like a weak John Dahl film. My Own Private Idaho actually is really really good, so good that The Criterion Monopoly (C) felt the need to charge $50 for it! But, um, yeah, even for a KEANUA FUCKING REEVES movie, it's good. |

I put Bell Diamond on cinemageddon, and bed you sleep in is on there. Bed You Sleep In, I've seen on torrent sites before, not with many seeders though.
Bed.. is on netflix, if you have it.. to watch for free. Your best choice is to join www.surrealmoviez.info ... not torrents, but rapidshare links ... granted, rapidshare doesn't always work, but you can use one of those premium link generators like leechdl.com or type in "black acid pro", that's easily the best one.. paste the links in, download, and it's like having a premium account. but if you can karagara or cinemageddon accounts, that's a good choice. |

I can't believe there are people out there who didn't like Planet Terror. It's a brilliant spoof of the Grindhouse movies of the 70s. It's an absolute joy to watch.

spoofs suck
especially spoofs of things that already sucked ass spoofs only work when they are spoofing "serious" and "intellectual" things

Planet Terror sucks. Death Proof is the worst film ever made.

First the cinepseuds of the board attacked James Cameron, now they're attacking Tarantino and Rodriguez. They seem more concerned with pretentious, subtitled, art house shite overblown with subtext and montage than entertainment. They must lead miserable lives.

I didn't know a movie, a movie itself, or a "shite", in this case, could be pretentious. Also, I doubt you know what "pretentious" means. Anywho, I don't watch a movie for its "subtext", I watch it for enhancing my life in some way, and that includes "entertaining me". Cameron hasn't made a good movie in nearly 20 years, Tarantino is a ripoff artist, Rodriguez hasn't made ANYTHING good, that's just how it is. Both those dudes are hacks. See, I love trashy, shitty b-movies that are actually unique and entertaining. I love the following:
Actium Maximus: War of the Alien Dinosaurs All the Colors of the Dark Angel Dust... Baby Blood (aka the Evil Within) Back Against the Wall Baconhead Beaver and Buttface Beyond the Limits Black Roses Bloodmoon Bloody Wednesday Body Melt Boneyard Breaking Point Bride of Frank Bullets Over Summer Burning Moon The Cat Chaos in Outerspace Cop Corndog Man Crazy Family Crazy Lips (also see: Gore From Outer Space) Dandy Dust Dark Night of the Soul Deadly Prey Deadtime Stories Dear Pillow Death Bed: Bed that Eats Death Drug Death Powder The Demon Der Todesking Dr. Lamb Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon Duck! The Carbine High Massacre Fallen Angels Fame Whore Family Portraits: Trilogy of America Family Viewing Fatty Drives the Bus Freak Orlando Funky Forest Galaxy Invader Geek Maggot Bingo The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai Goodnight, God Bless Hausu Hi, Mom! Hole in my Heart Horror House on Highway 5 Id Jefftowne Jungle Burger KAMILLIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Killing Spree Kill Me Again Living Love - Zero = Infinity Lurkers Magic of the Universe Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy Man, Woman, and the Wall Messiah of Evil Microwave Massacre Migrating Forms Mod Fuck Explosion Monster High (yay!) Monsturd Mute Witness Mutilation Man Mysterious Skin Neon Maniacs Nightmare Weekend Night Train to Terror (!!!!!!!!!!!!) Once and Future Queen Orgy of the Dead Outside Out Pastoral: To Die In Country Pinnochio 964 Pistol Opera Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead Private Parts (not the Howard Stern film) Reflections of Evil Relentless Rock-a-Die Baby Rock'n'Roll Nightmare The Room Samurai Cop Sante Fe Scumrock Shaye and Kiki: Fun Bubble Shopping for Fangs Short Time Shredder Orpheus SICK Sins of the Fleshapoids Slime City Small White House Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama Spaceman Special Needs Splatter: Naked Blood Spookies Story of a Junkie Strange Behaviour Student Bodies Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator Superstarlet A.D. Superstition Terminal USA Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except Totally Fucked Up Touch Me in the Morning Townies Unmasked Part 25 Used Cars Viewer Discretion Advised White of the Eye Worst Horror Movie Ever Made Zardoz Zero Hardly arthouse shite. I don't get behind any one film genre or style. I like films that are good, to me. People can only like what they've been exposed to, and it's not my fault if you don't seek out any movies beyond the conventional, mainstream garbage, you're the one missing out -- not me. But don't attack others because they have tastes that are a bit more obscure than yours. I don't like films just because they're obscure, and I can appreciate a good mainstream film (Mean Girls for example), but Tarantino and that other guy are just fucking jokes. |
