I am looking forward to seeing "To Kill A King", that film about the English Civil War and stuff. I've seen the trailer and it looks top.

Dogville.

― Tag (Tag), Friday, 30 May 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah Dogville here too. Matrix Revolutions and The Return of the King as well. what else is coming out this year? did that claire denis film about vampires ever come out here?

― ryan (ryan), Friday, 30 May 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

ken park is the only one i can think of right now

― ron (ron), Friday, 30 May 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, Dogville! it won the Palm Dog! It must be a good film.

A couple from Cannes--I wanna see that new Gus van Sant to be sure.

2046 - New Wong Kar Wai
Battle Royale 2
Intolerable Cruelty
A Mighty Wind (hasn't opened here yet...)

― Mil, Saturday, 31 May 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Wong Kar-Wai's making a sci-fi movie now right? This I gotta see.

― slutsky (slutsky), Saturday, 31 May 2003 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

HULK, The Brown Bunny, Bad Boys II, 2046, Kill Bill.

DV -- Elephant won the Palme didn't it?

― PVC (peeveecee), Saturday, 31 May 2003 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah Kill Bill looks pretty good. i didnt even know about 2046 but now i am very excited to see it.

― ryan (ryan), Saturday, 31 May 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I think everything I'm anticipating are available now on DVD. Possible exceptions are the next two installments of Kieslowski's Heaven/Hell/Purg. trilogy, if they exist, and actually as much Piesciewicz's baby as KK's.

I forgot about 2046, dyin' to see it. It's been in production for a long long time. I read that Kar-Wai began shooting before he started work on In the Mood for Love. The director's jazz like methodology is apparently the cause of the delay. Apparently Maggie Cheung rides an elephant in it.
I'm also looking forward to the Will Ferral star vehicle in which he portays a hot shot newscaster in 1970s Portland.

If anyone has any more details on 2046, now would be the time to share them.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 1 June 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

2046 was intially hoped to show at Cannes, but it's still being worked on apparently.

Stars Faye Wong, Carina Lau, Tony Leung - plot details are very sketchy. Initially I read that the main characters are special agents involved in some battle in the future... could've changed though.

Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River" and Tarantino's "Kill Bill" seem very promising. I am also highly awaiting David Lynch's next film whatever and whenever that may be.

Darren Aronofsky's Flicker. I liked the book, and Aronofsky is an innovative director, so the combination could be great.

I think Hulk will be An Experience, as will Charlies Angels 2.

They still haven't released Max or Identity here, I have a half-chance of seeing both.

A three week period in October will see the release of Down With Love + Finding Nemo, A Mighty Wind + Bad Boys 2, and Holes + Kill Bill. A busy period (I probably won't go see BB2).

Naqoyqatsi. Shaolin Soccer.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

They're releasing them in pairs?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Huh. I hadn't spotted that I was pairing everything.

A few more words, then:

Hulk: I think the best you can do is depict the Hulk as a Force of Nature in a way that you couldn't previously. If anyone can, Ang Lee can. Also a film with Nick Nolte and Sam Elliott can't be entirely rubbish.

CA2: The trailers look like they've invented the concept of Everything Porn: Car porn! Bike porn! Surf porn! Ladies not wearing much clothing porn! This admirable lack of restraint could make for an entertaining film.

Max/Identity: just my John Cusack jones. I scare easy, so probably Max.

Down With Love: looks lovely. I'm not a big fan of Renee Zellweger, but being intentionally over-stylised may take the sting out of that. Ewan McGregor and especially David Hyde Pierce should flower in that environment.

Finding Nemo: Is Pixar.

A Mighty Wind: I liked Best in Show a lot, and the news that there's more Fred Willard and a sharp edge to this has me interested.

Holes: A good kids movie is a good movie.

Kill Bill: Tarantino still has a lot of credit to spend as far as I'm concerned. Yuen Woo-Ping obviously can do no wrong. But together, I don't know. Fortunately the reviews should make it clear immediately whether they've cocked it up.

Naqoyqatsi: The first two were fantastic. I saw Powwaqatsi in the open air in Sydney, so this will probably be a let down, but still.

Shaolin Soccer: Most of my complaints about The Beautiful Game are just to do with the mundane nature of the local brand. I suspect that this will feature little footage of 22 men despondently kicking a ball to the keeper and back.

Down With Love is pretty entertaining. David Hyde Pierce is really a wonderful comic character actor.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

David Hyde Pierce is really a wonderful comic character actor.

(see Wet Hot American Summer)

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, he's terrifically hilarious in that movie.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to see Blue Car

― amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I was going to check that out but it played here for at most a week. It's entirely possible that not one person in Montreal went to see that movie.

one month passes...

"If all goes according to plan, Donnie Darko writer/director Richard Kelly's second project will be Knowing, which he's rewriting from Ryan Pearson's original script. The film, for Columbia Pictures, tells the story of a man who discovers a time capsule containing children's predictions for the future. One child's drawing predicts catastrophic historical events; all but one have come to pass. Kelly says, "It's different from Donnie Darko, but within terrain I like to explore--it's a modern-day sci-fi thriller, but also a character piece."

La Commune
Eureka

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Thursday, 31 July 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

the new film from the director of amores perros is coming out sometime around december, i am pretty hyped for that.

also, whenever the next david gordon green film comes out, i will be first in line for it.

― todd swiss (eliti), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, technically the thread title doesn't preclude films that aren't new, so I guess I'll just list what's sitting on my coffee table that I haven't seen yet.

Santa Sangre
I Fidanzati
Nights of Cabiria
Down By Law

― Girolamo Savonarola, Friday, 1 August 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

this is a very interesting thread now. Down With Love was wonderful! (prob even one of the best films of the year for me)

― ryan (ryan), Sunday, 22 February 2004 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind looks fantastic

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Sunday, 22 February 2004 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

See - Ryan -- we do agree on some things. Down With Love made my "about-to-be-submitted-to-ILF" top ten of the year.
