brilliant film

just had a lazy weekend:






all very good, Paprika is amazing and The Thing is obviously a stone cold classic

Saw Black Swan at the cinema, thought it was ok but Portman was annoying imo, made the whole thing harder to watch with her plaguing whingy face

Mullholland Drive. I'm gonna have to rewatch this to fully understand what the fuck happened I think

Totally forgot about this thread since the stickies were killed.

It should become clear after the second or 3rd viewings. Typical Lynch film (though no doubt his most "accessible") with his same style and visual "keys" to identify what is happening such as red drapes/lights/etc. Also there is always a beginning, a middle and an end. Just never in that order. I'd suggest against reading about it online and figure it out for yourself as that's how his films are most fulfilling. Interesting: Last year the American Film Institute named it Film of the Decade.

Re: You and Me and Everyone We Know
I saw this a couple of years ago and loved it. Poop back and forth!



Anyone else seen "I'm Still Here"? It's one of those "love it or hate it" type things. If you're into awkward comedy and especially into satire/mockumentary type things I think you'd enjoy it. I've seen it a couple of times now and haven't laughed and cringed at the same time this much in a long time. The scene where he is playing Puff Daddy his demo CD in his studio is too fucking good.

Michael C. Hall dancing was the best part. Watched it over and over again

Mr Nice.

Mr. Nice was such let down for me, just seemed like some kids uni film project about how awesome weed is.

aka Howard Marks' life.

i'm certain I'm Still Here is real. they say it's a hoax, but i don't think joaquin is a genius at all. i think he's really an asshole who thinks he can rap.

absolutely mad film, it's like 3 hours long and i cant really explain it but it is definitely worth watching

9/10. I miss when plots grab your attention like this

Cheers man. As confusing as it was I still enjoyed it a lot. Will certainly re-watch when I get the chance.

exactly. Iv seen mullholland drive maybe 10 times, had a few epiphany moments probably 3rd viewing. Read the '10 things to look out for' in the paper inset. Easily in my top 10 all time films, really a beautiful piece of work. Would personally say Blue Velvet is his most accessible film tho.

If anyone has seen Eraserhead and done mushrooms, about 10 I watched Eraserhead for the first time after having made myself a mushroom brew, on my own. Probably one of the craziest experiences of my life, if you have done them im sure you could guess why!

watched Confessions (Kokuhaku) amazing film, they really do make some incredible cinema out east

I think there's truth in it yeah. It works more as a satire to me though, they said it was basically a response to how people believe reality tv is real. That makes sense then. Also the credits reveal some of the people aren't real, like his dad is actually played by Casey Affleck's dad, and a few others as well.

I hope it's real though. Either way it's hilarious.

Natural Born Killers:

Loved it. Clubbed you round the head with its moral message but it was so entertaining. Relentless barrage of a film. I didn't realise it was like that. I was expecting a straight crime film. It was a lot better than that.

9/10 (This score will probably go down to 8, when I watch it again.)



Naked Lunch:

I thought it was brilliant. I'm a big fan of Burroughs' work and although the film is drastically different to the book, I really enjoyed it. The whole atmosphere is great. Reminded me of Barton Fink and Brazil. Interesting interpretation of Burroughs' work and life.

Peter Weller is awesome in this. Ian Holm too.

The only negative is how dated the special effects are.

9/10

first time i've ever detected doubt in your belief you are right lol

Naked Lunch is really good for what it is. Yeah not a lot in common with the real stories but I think they struggled in trying to translate it to film. I think the effects are fitting still, didn't suffer over time as badly as some other 80s/early 90s films.

I think it's only a matter of time before a remake happens as well, or not a remake but a new interpretation I guess.

cronenberg just wrote a whole story from scratch based on ideas from the book and bits from burroughs life. the whole talking typewriters and stuff came from cronenberg.

just watched this, Scratch by Doug Pray...if you love hiphop watch this documentary/ film, guarantee it will tell you a something u didnt already know....9/10
