No 2005 version of This is the thread where you list (/ talk about) the films you've seen recently. (v.2004) yet, huh?

Tonight Crustacés et coquillages. Jean-Marc Barr has some magnificent thighs.

Yesterday I believe was the day for Suddenly, Last Summer. Elizabeth Taylor had some magnificent calves.

Rambo 2. He blows shit up.

Sin City - very few colours.

The Getaway

McQueen slaps around McGraw, dodges baddies, gets to Mexico.

Howl's Moving Castle at El Capitan. Movie good, theater ridiculous.

I watched Parenthood last night, mainly because I hadn't seen it since Leaf became Joaquin. Man, he was one talented teenager. I'm amazed by how slowly this film moves, and for a film that I thought of as having quite a lot of funny moments, it really only has about three. Plus I'm amazed by how embarrassed I am by Steve Martin in it.
I have a poor memory.

I probably shouldn't ever watch Parenthood again, but in my memory it's the only Ron Howard movie worth watching, the movie where Opie for a brief moment becomes 1980s America's answer to Ozu in comedy mode.

I watched "meet the fockers" last night but was so stoned I slept through 80% of it, but the 20% I saw wasn't funny at all

Sin City - it was okay, I quite enjoyed it in a guilty sorta way.
Walking Tall - It had it's moments, I kept wanting the Rock to call someone a jabroni, but he didn't. Johnny Knoxville's very quick appraisal of what he'd been doing for the past 8 years made me laugh.
Hell Boy - Turgid
Revenge of the Sith - Better than the last 2, not a patch on the first 3.
Sideways - Nice
Save the Green Planet - Violent and strange. Too much torture.

It's all been a bit violent this past month.

Walking Tall - bad, pretty fascist, but entertaining until the big action climax which was way too short and didn't have enough explosions.

Crash (the new one) -- excellent excellent excellent, interweaving several tales of racism in L.A. at once seamlessly without being confusing, and what's also great is that none of the characters really make lifestyle changes despite confronting dilemmas in the film.

Before Sunset -- oh goodness does this make my heartache/makes me want to fall in love, the bastards! But I won't hold that against Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke.

― Ian Riese-Moraine comes explosive! (Eastern Mantra), Saturday, 11 June 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

I wish they had named it something other than Crash; I cannot for the life of me distingush the new movie from the Cronenberg one about people who try to bone and get into a crippling car wreck at the same time.

Anyway, I saw Lords of Dogtown recently and it was full of 18 year old blond boys I would like to make out with.

Just finally saw All That Jazz. What a totally weird movie.

'the next of kin'. grebt battle sequence.

...except hair.

He has a magnificent lack of hair.

This is one of those rare cases (for me, anyway) where a straight (I assume) actor plays gay and I find myself exponentially more attracted to him as a result.

eric - have you seen this semi pornographic film he made?

http://www.6nema.com/TooMuchFlesh/critic_TooMuchFlesh.htm

too much? i'd love to see it.

"when you start watching people making love on the screen, if it's not a porno it's false."

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 11 June 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

No I haven't! And the Bande-annonces don't work. :(

(I should stress that, though every scene Barr was in up until the end got the gears and et al grinding, I really didn't need to see him prance around dressed in lemon yellow pants to the dippy title song with the entire cast.)

― L'Histoire d'Eric H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 11 June 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

"And the Bande-annonces don't work"

argh i know! well, it is available on DVD.

Two-Lane Blacktop - now seriously debating whether or not to have my Netflix copy 'lost in the mail' or just pony up the money on Ebay.

Last night I watched a little bit of Evolution, you know, the one with David Duchovny and Julianne Moore? Can someone tell me the point of this film? It was billed as comedy, but I could discern no jokes. I turned it off after they pulled a bug out of the sidekick's ass and he made comedy black man eye-rolling faces and talked in a squealy voice.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Sunday, 12 June 2005 06:45 (twenty years ago)

watched Jules and Jim earlier this week - um, I dunno, I didn't get it (or at least why it's considered a masterpiece). It leaned too far toward the middle-ground for me - not as daring as the early Godard I've seen, employs a fairly traditional structure and style, ultimately doesn't seem to have that much to say. Some of the small touches were great (compressing the relationship with the girl who shows up painting anarchist graffiti, later meeting her),

maybe already listed on the older thread - My Own Private Idaho: loved the manic scenes that lifted directly from Henry IV, but the Keanu/River material was very meh.

Both of these were maybe products of their time, when a love triangle and strong woman or gay hustlers were completely unknown to film (and much of society), but now, not so much.

three months pass...

Documentary on TV Party. Dull documentary, but it looked like a freaky show.
