HEY TRIPLE A

[The Miz]

Remember when you used to post movie recommendation topics. DO THAT AGAIN. This forum sucks so much penis now its ridiculous. Like half the threads one page 1 are about superhero movies.

what have u been watchin lately

[Triple A]

I have not seen a single really good movie in forever, that is why. Why don't YOU recommend me something real sick that I might like.

I saw A Scanner Darkly last week, which was mad disappointing. I wanted it to be really bugged out but it barely was at all. There were like 3 "trippy" scenes in the entire movie. Retarded.

The following movies have been on my "To Watch" list for the past six months though:

Platoon (yeah, never seen for some reason)
A Hole in My Heart
Alice (Alice in Wonderland, but claymation I think. Supposed to be mad weird)
House of Games
Naked
Psych Out
The Fly
The Squid and the Whale
Videodrome
Crash (1996)
Visitor Q
"The Art of David Lynch" (dled)

I have just been watching a lot of TV on DVD lately anyway. The Office US version is pretty rofl.

[The Miz]

Platoon - good shit, as good as big Hollywood movies get

Hole in my Heart - I love this movie and it is right up your alley. Not as good as Fucking Åmål, Tillsammans or Lilja 4-ever but it's still Moodysson so you know it's good shit. Also check out his new one "Container"

House of Games - Dunno, I thought it was just alright

Naked - Coulda been awesome but the gay dialogue pissed me off too much

The Fly - Saw ot mad long ago, I think I remember it being good with a couple stupid parts

Squid and the Whale - Surprised you listed this but yeah, it's good

Crash - I promise you will love this shit. One of those "only love it or hate it" movies

Art of Lynch - Never seen but how could it not be awesome?

----------

So yea out of that list def see Hole in my Heart, Naked, and Crash first

THE MIZ RECOMMENDS

Manderlay (slavery movie, same guy who did Dogville and Dancer in the Dark)
Mar adentro aka. The Sea Inside
Container

Dunno, haven't seen anything awesome lately either

[The Miz]

Actually you are gonna hate Container. I don't think anybody on earth likes it except me. It's not really a "movie" even

[Gertner]

you all have to watch "Best in Show"

[Triple A]

Where did you see Container?

[The Miz]

Guy at the video store I work at somehow got a bootleg copy. Dunno

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Platoon is immense. One of my favorite war movies of all time.

[OssMan]

i guess i'll jump in,

Pink Flamingos

the most fucked up piece of shit ive ever seen. a couple tries to dethrone the most bizarre fat woman ever as "the filthiest woman alive." i havent vomited in like 4 years and this made me want to vomit. i had to cover up some parts that i couldnt stand to watch. SO MESSED UP. she ate dog shit. and this guy did some thing where he stretched out his asshole for a minute and made it look like it was talking. so many messed up things in it.

[Boondock Saint]

Don't forget the chicken sex.

[weather vane]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure and No Holds Barred

[Penner]

A Scanner Darkly sucked?

That sucks.. I kinda wanted to see that.

Worth watching?

[OssMan]

Don't forget the chicken sex.YOU SAW IT TOO he raped that bitch with a cchikken fffffffffff

[Boondock Saint]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

:love: I know this movie by heart.

[Boondock Saint]

YOU SAW IT TOO he raped that bitch with a cchikken fffffffffff

Yeah, it's a fucked up movie. But so are most of John Waters' films. However that is prolly the most.

[loopydate]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

That was probably the last movie I rented that I thought "I have to own this."

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I signed up to the Amazon DVD rental a couple of months ago thing because I was sick of my local place not having anything even slightly off mainstream or anything but the biggest foreign films and so far I have seen, in reverse order:

Kinky Boots - English film about a shoe factory that's going to close down until it finds a niche market making kinky boots for drag queens. It's alright.

The New World - The Terence Malick show about John Smith and Pocahontas and all that bollocks. It's as you expect: loads of scenery with long sequences with no dialogue or with whispered inner thoughts, interpersed with bursts of narrative. It's pretty long but I really enjoyed it and I didn't really like The Thin Red Line that much.

Irreversible - infamous French film because the graphic head smashed in scene and the horrible rape and beating of a woman. Those two scenes are memorably grim and tough to watch, particularly Bellucci's character getting beat up after being raped, but it's more than just those scenes. Good show.

Hidden (cache) - another French film. A family gets mysterious tapes in the mail from an anonymous person. The tapes just show images of the front of their house or of other places with no commentary or clues as to why apart from cryptic child-like drawings packaged with the videos that hint at something in the husband's past. It's a slow burning creepy sort of show with only one shocking moment, but which so outrageous that it actually made me flinch.

La Haine (Hate) - yet another French show set on an estate on the outskirts of Paris following a day in the life of 3 young French men - a Jew, an Arab and an African by descent. One of their friends is in a coma after being badly beaten by police interrogators and the night before a huge riot broke out on their estate. The film follows the entire day afterwards. Brilliant film. Vincent Cassel is great in this and Irreversible.

Jarhead - everyone knows.

Historias Minimas (Minimal Stories) - Argentinian film which is basically what it says. It's pretty small, relatively uneventful stories. Just following a couple of men on seperate journeys, an old man looking for his dog Badface and a lonely salesman, and the people they encounter. I really liked this. It wasn't very long, but it was funny and well-acted, especially considering there was only one professional on the cast.

Lady Vengeance - everybody knows this one too by now. One of the Vengeance series which includes Oldboy. I thought this was ok but no where near as good as Oldboy.

No Man's Land - A film set during the Balkans conflict of the 90s, in an abandoned trench between Bosnian and Serbian lines i.e. No Man's Land. Two Bosnians and a Serb are brought together in an unfortunate situation that requires the intervention of the UN to sort out and which draws in the world's media. This film is really fucking good and is maybe the perfect satire on how the big nations view the horrible wars that take place in the "smaller" nations. It really is perfect. It speaks volumes about the Balkans conflict but could apply to possibly any other conflict in a "difficult" part of the world. Can't recommend this enough.

Sympathy For Mr Vengeance (Collector's Edition) - First installment in the Vengeance series. I thought this was a bit crap. Nicely shot, but just meaningless, gratuitous violence.

Thumbsucker - It's ok. A bit boring and not that funny, but watchable.

Dig! - Great show. Documentary about the Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. Just hilarious.

O Homem Do Ano (Man Of The Year) - this is a Brazilian film about a guy who dyes his hair blonde for a change then shoots a local gangster who insults it. He suddenly becomes Mr. Popular for removing the local bully. The film follows on as the guy's life sort of spirals out of control from there. It's pretty funny at times in a very black way.

Nuevas Reinas (Nine Queens) - Argentinian film re-made in the US as "Criminal." Having seen both versions, this one is much better. It's basically about a big con revolving around some rare stamps called the Nine Queens. Very good indeed.

Man, Irreversible was a tough watch. That head cave in scene....
