Saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3: Curse of the Whatever They're Calling It Nowadays with my friends just yesterday.
Surprisingly good for a sequal to a horribly unnecessary sequal. Let's just hope this is the last one and end on a good note. |
i'm watching the holy mountain in a couple of days in a theater and, in like two weeks, i'm seeing el topo!!!!
|
Watched Baraka last night.
Loved it. Also made me never want to eat eggs again. |

That's a very strange film. Very strange indeed. |
Dario Argento's Tenebrae.

300. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
|
v for vendetta and pandora's box right before that
|
|
apocalypto(sp?)
in my opinion, it was great. |
just finished volume one. repetitive, nothing amazing as a movie, but would make a great video wallpaper. |
currently housesitting for my friend
and he has a shitload of Criterions and DVDs stashed in a closet. i have lots lined up to watch in the next few days (until Friday afternoon) Gonna watch Army Of Shadows first, then Suspiria, Z, Harakiri, Red Beard, Ran, Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars, Throne of Blood (Kurosawa etc) he has lots of Japanese cinema. some Bergman here and there starting with A Virgin Spring, The Seventh Seal Youth of the Beast, the John Cassavetes Five Films pack (Opening Night is missing though) Battle of Algiers, Contempt, The Discreet Charm, Hiroshima Mon Amour, and dozens of others. probably won't get to watch all of them but i'll try to ingest as much as i can. |
Almost Famous.

Probably says too much about me that I didn't find it particularly strange. (Probably also says too much about me that I found Rhys Ifans quite attractive in it..) I've read the book since. It's quite different. The director/writer of the film really took some serious liberties with the source material. Not badly, the changes probably made the film work better, but it's really quite different from the book. |
the first guillermo del toro feature-- not bad! not bad at all! has its limitations, but very enjoyable. |
yesterday, first i went to the cineteca to see the holy mountain in all it's remastered theatrical glory, 'twas the first time i ever watched it, mind you and holy fuck if it's not awesome!!! loved it!
then late at night, they showed clueless on tv and i love that movie, so good; completely different to holy mountain of course, but i think i love both equally. i'm watching el topo in two weeks. |
haha, i just watched clueless today. i have a thing for paul rudd.
|
|
i keep meaning to watch that.

'Not Only But Always'.
A biopic about about a cuddly club-footed piano-playing dwarf and his misanthropic alcoholic side-kick, Peter the giant. |

i went to the theater and saw "hostel part II" last night. it was a rip-roarin' good time!
|

brilliant. |
Shortbus, nothing short of a porno movie.
|
triple feature yesterday!
the 2nd guillermo del toro movie, his first in the u.s. so bad it's good! awesome! and the underlying racial narrative is the best cute, entertaining, she is really beautiful, the story-- not bad! capote's... except for the stereotyped japanese neighbor, and the often cheeseball music (at other times it was a good jazz score though), i really liked this |
The Big Lebowski. I love it.
|
|
i was watching spinal tap yet again, it gets funnier each time.

Day two.
American Blackout (2006) Obedience (1965) ^The Shock Generator Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted a study focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. He examined justifications for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War II, Nuremberg War Crimes trials. Their defence often was based on "obedience" - - that they were just obeying orders whilst under the authority of their superiors. The experiment began in July 1961, a year after the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Milgram devised the experiment to answer the question "Could it be that Eichmann, and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?" This one was very interesting. Read more about The Milgram Experiment |
