great to see someone else who appreciates lynch.

28 weeks later sucked. it had a lot of potential, but as usual with a lot of horror movies they succomb to all of the usual and predictable cliches, ie the cheesy open-ended ending when you think all is said and done with. i also wasn't impressed with the unnecessary gore, ie when don kills his wife. and they're milking this, considering that there's another sequel in the works.

i saw the untouchables for the first time in years. there's some very brief cheese, but overall still a classic.

and roadside prophets is another classic.

I hadn't seen this in fuckin ages and lost count of the 'fuck' words in it.Most of the dialogue is 'fuck' 'fucking' or 'motherfucker'

MC Moot
11-28-2007, 03:01 PM
I finished up "Bobby" last night,i don't recommend it at all but I do recommend reading the speech that narates over the end of the film after he's been shot,stunning foreshadowing of his own end....he gave it after Martin Luther King was murdered...

"This is a time of shame and sorrow. It is not a day for politics.
I have saved this one opportunity, my only event of today, to speak briefly to you about the mindless
menace of violence in America which again stains our land and every one of our lives.
It is not the concern of any one race.
The victims of the violence are black and white, rich and poor, young and old, famous and unknown.
They are, most important of all, human beings whom other human beings loved and needed.
No one - no matter where he lives or what he does - can be certain who will suffer from some
senseless act of bloodshed. And yet it goes on and on and on in this country of ours.
Why?
What has violence ever accomplished?
What has it ever created?
No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet.
No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders.
A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled, uncontrollable mob
is only the voice of madness, not the voice of reason.
Whenever any American's life is taken by another American unnecessarily
- whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of the law,
by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence
- whenever we tear at the fabric of the life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children,
the whole nation is degraded.
"Among free men," said Abraham Lincoln, "there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and those who take such appeal are sure to lose their cause and pay the costs."
Yet we seemingly tolerate a rising level of violence that ignores our common humanity and our claims to civilization alike. We calmly accept newspaper reports of civilian slaughter in far-off lands.
We glorify killing on movie and television screens and call it entertainment.
We make it easy for men of all shades of sanity to acquire whatever weapons and ammunition they desire.
Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others.
Some Americans who preach non-violence abroad fail to practice it here at home.
Some who accuse others of inciting riots have by their own conduct invited them.
Some look for scapegoats, others look for conspiracies, but this much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
This is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay.
This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors.
This is the slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.
This is the breaking of a man's spirit by denying him the chance to stand as a father and as a man among other men.
And this too afflicts us all.
I have not come here to propose a set of specific remedies nor is there a single set.
For a broad and adequate outline we know what must be done.
When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man
because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues,
when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family,
then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies,
to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered.
We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens, men with whom we share a city, but not a community; men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in common effort.
We learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other,
only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force.
For all this, there are no final answers.
Yet we know what we must do. It is to achieve true justice among our fellow citizens.
The question is not what programs we should seek to enact.
The question is whether we can find in our own midst and in our own hearts that leadership
of humane purpose that will recognize the terrible truths of our existence.
We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men and learn to find our own
advancement in the search for the advancement of others.
We must admit in ourselves that our own children's future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others.
We must recognize that this short life can neither be ennobled or enriched by hatred or revenge.
Our lives on this planet are too short and the work to be done too great to let this spirit flourish any longer in our land.
Of course we cannot vanquish it with a program, nor with a resolution.
But we can perhaps remember, if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers,
that they share with us the same short moment of life;that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness,winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.
Surely, this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something.
Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men,
and surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become
in our own hearts brothers and countrymen once again."

Shake Hands With the Devil - based on Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire's book about his experience with the Rwandan genocide (he was one of the only peacekeepers who stayed there during the massacre).

Terribly sad, but also really uplifting to see someone care so much during a time when the rest of the world turned their backs on him and his mission...I don't know how he was able to keep fighting the good fight with little to no support.

Saddest part - there was a 4 year anniversary of the start of the genocide, and people from around the world were invited to Rwanda to grieve/honor the dead. When minimal people from the western powers showed up, one Rwandan remarked "Well, when you don't expect anything from the rest of the world, you'll never be let down." God, how depressing. :(

It was a mistake for him to marry Melanie Griffith. I don't think was a coincidence.

a mighty heart and sicko.

it's a damn shame that heart received little fanfare, because it was excellent. i give so much credit to director michael winterbottom (24 hour party people), producer brad pitt and angelina jolie for wanting to tell the story of daniel and mariane pearl. despite the depressing and tragic content - as we all know the horrific fate of daniel pearl - this docudrama was really entertaining; winterbottom's direction was flawless. when mariane learns of daniel's fate, the scene is just so heart wrenching.

after watching sicko, it was just further confirmation that america will never have universal healthcare. corporate right-wing interests and values are just far too powerful and completely ingrained in the social fabric of the states. anyways i thought it was moore's best film to date, and i loved his contrast and comparison of the u.s. with france, england and canada. it also made me feel great, and very lucky about where i live and how passionate we all are about our healthcare.

Into The Wild

Its about Chris McCandless (aka Alexander Supertramp) a college graduate who gave all his savings to charity then hitchhiked around america, eventually going into the wilds of Alaska to live off the land. Directed by Sean Penn.

Its a really good film. Ive since read the book on which it was based and read up alot of what has been written about Chris McCandless and the film for the most part rings true, its very much loyal to the book, which is loyal to McCandless (alot of alaskans simply see him as a fool)

Id recommend both the film and book. Its a fascinating story, and i suppose i'm more interested in the story of McCandless himself, but Penn has made a very good film. Krakauer's book may mythologize McCandless somewhat, but its still great storytelling.

Well, yeah, it is hard to empathize with him at times. I know people who walked away from it unable to like the film because they dislike mcCandless. Penn goes out of his way to make him likable, and does leave out some facts that help mask some of his "foolishness", that the book openly admitted too.

But there's alot I admire in him too. I found myself bizarrely walking out of the cinema admitting to my girlfriend that I was ashamed to "want" an ipod or a laptop or things of that nature. Granted that feeling left when i GOT my ipod and i played with it all day :p

But i do admire his ability to disconnect from the consumerist world. But then he took it to extremes, by disconnecting from humanity too. But the film does offer hope, i'll say no more.

So, it opens with guys at a ramp, and one guy's going to jump an RV. He says something like, "So did you guys reinforce the ramp?" and
they say, "No, there wasn't time."

There you go. You just killed the joke before it's even happened.

Then there's the whole, I'm-going-to-shout-and-shout-and-underline-this-punchline-over-and-over crap.

You know, we get it. We get it. We get it. We get it. Please stop. We get it. We get it. PLEASE STOP. PLEASE MOVE ON. WE GET IT.

Etc.

I was pretty disappointed. I was geared up for a good stupid movie, but not a bad stupid movie. :(

I've been wanting to go see (Juno), what say you?





There seems to be love it and hate it camps.

The dialogue is really, really stylized, which is tricky stuff post-1940's or so. And the girl is so snarky and glib, with this sort of superior
attitude even when the people around her are sort of quietly calling her on that bullshit. But the movie is pretty clearly on her side, so,
to me, it just came off as "here's this pretty, obviously smart and clever girl who isn't clever enough to not mistreat people who don't have
her same thrift store/riot grrrl lifestyle."

Now, supposedly late in the movie she's kind of humbled, but it's sort of bullshit to me, like Fight Club or Natural Born Killers were. Two hours
of getting the audience off on violence-porn to arrive at the conclusion that getting off on violence-porn is maybe a bad thing. Kind of a
have your cake and eat it, too thing. Because obviously if you're the artist who has drawn that conclusion and wants to convey that to the
audience, it's pretty much moral bullshit to wallow in it for 95% of the running time.

(I don't know how I'll take There Will Be Blood.)

But an awful lot of people really dig it. The performances are aces and the directing is pretty strong. But, kind of like Gone with the Wind, I
really didn't feel like spending that much time with a bitch. Charles Foster Kane is an awfully interesting bastard with some serious charm going
on, plus there are all the interviews with the witnesses that gives you a break from the son of a bitch now and then, so that works. Juno never
really leaves Juno, so I just found her insufferable. So I split.

That's probably more than you wanted.

I saw Juno yesterday. Don't listen to A to the Z because he obviously has a thing for Juno and hides those feelings behind a veil of thrift store angst.

The dialogue was hard to take at times but I enjoyed the film. I laughed, I cried and it was better than Cats.

I watched quite a few over the holidays...

"The Lookout"...great little thriller,smart,well acted,well imagined...you won't even recognize him as the kid from 3rd rock...I wake up...I take a shower...sometimes with soap...(y)

"The Host"...Korean monster movie,good fun,great FX...don't watch it dubbed...(y)

"Wind That Shakes The Barley"...saw it in the theatres and it was just as fantastic on the rewind...english for the hearing impaired option let me read some of the Gaelic dialogue that went over my head at the movie...(y)

"The Warrior" a great Hindi movie about a land barons warrior/assasain who leaves the path of violence behind...beautiful scenery/cinematography....(y)

"Sicko" this just did not work for me at all,very little humour or irony,very little revelation about a subject I'm fairly well aware of...the weakest of Moore's flicks...and seriously the way he heralded Canada's system as some kind of healthcare shambala is just ridiculous our system is higly flawed,ideogically suberb but practically handicapped...(n)

i couldn't disagree more. i thought sicko was moore's best work to date, along with bowling for columbine. i found it extremely informative, engaging, and very revealing. the comparison between america's for-profit system and the other healthcare systems of the western world was staggering. oh and our system is amazing. sure, we do like to complain a lot, but on the whole our system is great. a family member of mine had very, very surgery a few years back. if our system was any different, we'd have to serious, gut-wrenching sacrifices.

Enjoyed it, Daniel Day lewis doing psychotic is always fun. Don't know if it was great, or even very good. I might have to settle on extremely good, being just a hair below very good- shut up, its my rating system and I'm stickin to it.

You should see Brick [/i].

This is verbatim what I thought as soon as I read MC Moot's post. That film consumed me for about a month- it was impossible for me not to be thinking about how damm cool it was.

There seems to be love it and hate it camps.

That's probably more than you wanted.

I was in the loved it camp, most def. As for your aversion to stylized dialogue- homeboy thats what was so damm cool about Brick, that neo-noir shit, and you liked it(I'm assuming here since you recommended it- although you know what they say...). I guess I'm just say'n it really worked for me, I thought Ellen Page was awesome, and being on the more than a little snarky side myself I really loved it(and her). Just seems like where in diferent camps here about her. Its all good though, much love to your other movie recommendations.

'Bully' - Not heard of it until i read about it in the TV listings and thought it sounded interesting and i have enjoyed other Nick Stahl and Brad Renfro films.
I enjoyed it overall - and i didn't realise it was based on a true story.
Although she gave a really good performance, I did get sick of seeing Rachel Miner's bush/boobs every two minutes.
All i kept thinking was 'heh, she used to be married to Macauley Culkin'.

Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Films

Pretty good. Not too revealing or anything.



Murder on the Orient Express

Watched about 40 minutes of it and returned it. I can't believe Albert Finney hammed it up so much. Disappointing.



The Wild Blue Yonder

More interesting than actually good. Brad Dourif is kinda bad at times, too.

I agree. A stellar cast but what a let down. Finney was nominated for an Oscar too :confused:

For the perfect Poirot, see David Suchet.

That lakeside attack is horrifying. That stayed with me for weeks.

I really liked Jake in this one. I think it's the best thing he's done so far. He was pretty bad in Brokeback, so I was glad to see him rebound
with Jarhead and then this. (y)
