aside from the absence of Gambit, Angel's tiny part, and a few other changes from the comic books, i liked X3.

i have to applaud the makers of the movie for including the line "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" my friends and i laughed our asses off. i didn't even think that video was that funny, but including that line was perfect.

Walk the Line

Breakfast On Pluto

The Constant GArdener

are all very good. And I watched "This is Spinal Tap" for the first time. Never knew it would be this funny!

David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

Just of the stupidly funny lines from the movie. Brilliant film.

Last thing I saw in the cinema was Brick and it was really good. It was directed by a first time director though, not the dude who did Donnie Darko. His new one is called Southland Tales or something like that and it's some crazy musical or somesuch. Could be awful.

Last night I watched Fata Morgana which is the oddest film I've seen for a while and the oddest Werner Herzog film I've seen which is saying something. The first part was a collection of desert images with Lotte Eisner (German film critic lady) reading parts of the Popol Vuh (some Guatemalan creation myth) over the top of. Then more desert stuff later with some people talking about lizards and turtles. Sort of like a precursor to Koyanisquatsi without the obvious environmental message.

I need to start watching good movies. I haven't even seen Citizen Kane or The Godfather yet..

Horse Feathers was on yesterday morning. The Marx Brothers are the best.

The line I like the best in Spinal Tap was something like their drummer died in a tragic 'gardening accident'

king_buzzo 06.04.2006 10:56 AM

gonna see walk the line today

luxinterior 06.04.2006 10:58 AM

Puppet Show

I saw The Da Vinci Code about a week ago. Terrible. Thinking about seeing the X-Men movie, but I'm pretty sure it'll suck too.

Has anybody seen a good movie in the theater lately?


saw the davinci code last night and i concur, it is awful. cringeworthy most of the time and i found myself drifting to sleep at certain moments.

i dont think i can bare to watch united 93, especially with the amount of flying that i do.

king_buzzo 06.04.2006 11:01 AM

you know a cool movie?

school of rock! !! !!!

A brilliant film I thought. As I said before it is pretty horrifying, it definetly made the whole thing more painful especially the last 5 minutes.

'i have been touched by your children and i am pretty sure that i have touched them'.

atari 2600 06.04.2006 12:30 PM

another drummer died by spontaneous human combustion, haha.

This is Spinal Tap aired on (I think) ifc yesterday.

Guessin that's where you saw it, h8kurdt.

United 93 is the best movie of 2006 so far.

h8kurdt 06.04.2006 12:33 PM

No I'm a Brit, I saw it ages ago at a friends house. Straight after I went out and bought it on dvd.
Have you seen the second one? i'm a bit unsure about watching it to be honest.

porkmarras 06.04.2006 12:34 PM

I've re-watched 'Almost Famous' 2 days ago.

Hip Priest 09.14.2006 03:49 PM

It's a few years old now, I know, but I finally purchased 24 Hour Party People, the story of Anthony H Wilson, and his two big projects: Factory Records and the Hacienda nightclub. I hadn't watched it previously because I didn't think it would be too good, and I thought it would be hard to capture the spirit of things I really like (ie HAppy Mondays, Hacienda, Anthony H Wilson and Manchester).

It was wondrous, one of the finest movies I've seen in a long time - superb construction and scripting, the whole story told with an adroitness rarely seen in any medium. So good in fact that it made me feel quite emotional, especially when Anthony is talking about how much he loves Manchester because I know what he means - it's a magical city, I only wish I could be there more often than I am (I'm a regular visitor).

The appearances of real people in the film (Anthony H Wilson, Mark E Smith, Paul Ryder and many others) as well as reconstructed and genuine archive footage serves to make it even better. It's a genuinely fascinating document for anyone with any interest in the events concerned.

!@#$%! 09.14.2006 04:32 PM

oh! this thread! i love this thread.

i try to watch a movie a day and some of the most memorable ones in recent times are these:

Jean Pierre Melville: Le Samourai
WHAT A MOVIE!!!!

 


Francois Truffaut - L'homme qui aimait les femmes (the man who loved women).
awesome screnplay!! fucking great.

 


and then hm i watched underworld evolution. just ok, except for kate beckinsale's lovely exposed navel, and her vampiric face:

 


oh! and BATMAN BEGINS, which i started watching reluctantly, surprised me most positively. a masterpiece? no. but a great superhero movie, much like X2. and who directed it? the guy who did MEMENTO. no wonder! no fucking wonder! great job.

jon boy 09.14.2006 04:34 PM
