So I saw "Four Brothers". It's one of the coolest movies I've ever seen! It got it all!

Mark Wahlberg fucking ruuuuled in it!

[Ridin' the Nightrain]

Ridin' The Nightrain - is Cloverfield any good? I've heard mixed reviews.

It's way, way better than I ever expected it to be. And I hate Lost so this isn't a biased view.

Basically it's like Blair Witch but set in Manhattan. That's a very good thing. It's really tense and scary without every being disorientating or annoying that the perspective is from one camera. You see enough action for it to not seem restricted and it just has great directing throughout. Definitely one of the best horrors/monster films I've ever seen.

I would write more and better, but it's 6:23am so...

In summary: go watch.

Oh, Harrison, you're so handsome.

So when's this out?

I gotta get the Xbox game.

Not totally in love with the title.

It's too easy to make Crystal Meth jokes about it.

[highvoltage]

Oh, Harrison, you're so handsome.

So when's this out?

Bottom of the poster dude.

Try making an acronym out of it and you'll find a whole other reason to make fun of it.

I watched Sahara yesterday and it totally got me in the mood for some more Indy.

Sidenote: Sahara is all kinds of amazing fun.

I'm a GNR fan. I need a specific date. Especially a year.

Is it as good as The Mummy?

[Estranged Reality]

TKOTKM

Indiana Jones and the KoCS.

If you leave the "t" in it's "KotCS," but you know tons of people will start referring to it as KoCS because of the phonetic link...

[wasted]

...to cokcs?

I can see this happening a lot.

Especially if it's bad it will be "I though KOCS was really terrible"

I'm sure it's the same formual as before so it will be great.

[Midnight Rambler]

I watched Taxi Driver last night, that was quite something.

Amazing fukin film so powerful, the 70s were the golden age of american cinema imo.

The first half of that movie is flawless. I can just watch it for the atmosphere. I think the scenes with Foster sort of badly done but then it's still amzing film.

I always thought this movie was about how it's not worth trying to protest or do anything with your life. Like he's just a taxi driver, he has all these ideas and failed missions. He tries to do something about a the phony politician and fails. On the exterior it's about some guy going psycho but underneath that it's quite an apathy message.

I saw Kingpin on Cinemax last night. So funny...better than Big Lebowski (runs for the door)

I always thought the underlying theme of taxi driver was loneliness and the fact that he contradicts himself totally.

And king pin aint in the same fukin league as the big lebowski, "Youre out of your element!"

[ffrankwhite]

any fans of Rainer Fassbinder??

Big is better cinematography.

Bill Murray is immense in Kingpin.

Roy: Just because you're familiar with the missionary position doesn't make you a missionary.

Claudia: Look, Mr. Munster, you're not exactly the smartest guy I ever ran across.

Roy: Oh yeah? And who are you, Alfred Einstein?

any fans of Rainer Fassbinder??

Pressberger and Fassbinder?

Maybe.

Powell & Pressburger. That's what I've seen.

I think Pressburger also worked with Fassbinder.

What could I possibly call you teasingly in return...no wait...it'll come to me...

[wasted]

Fassbinder?

What do you recommend?

Powell & Pressberger are pretty amazing if a bit old.

A Matter of Life and Death is also called Stairway to Heaven. Supposedly the best movie ever made.

come with it Vampire Slayer, i got you covered EDIT: unless its...y'know

Fassbinder?

What do you recommend?

The Marriage of Maria Braun is pretty tasters choice but its a good starter to quage whether or not you might dig his style i quite like Pioneers in Inglo something or other and Women in New York. His televisioney stuff i tend to dig more than his more...expressly cinematic stuffs but yeah, start with Maria Braun!!

That sounds like a shaving impliment.

I remember thinking Powell & Pressberger was the greatest movies I ever seen then never really seeing one. This one I was watching on tv was about an angel in WWII and he was talking to god then landing on earth in the middle of a blitz krieg or something. It had ironic value and quality.

But you know I had to watch all of Chevy Chases movies so I never go back to it.

By the way, anyone who appreciates a bit of experimental filmmaking should find a copy of Brand Upon the Brain! by Guy Maddin. It's all sorts of quirky delightful, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to get acquainted with it.

[FunkyMonk]

I just watched Ghost World and I thought it was really lovely . Loved all the characters and it just really reminded me of the sort of "feel" that Juno had. One of those movies where you fall in love with the characters by the end.

[wasted]

"You're a cool guy Seymour."

I love Ghost World. Buscemi gets a lead in his own movie. Instead of always having to play paedophiles like in Con Air. He's also aces in Trees Lounge.
