My Bloody Valentine

The best part was the crazy naked blonde in the motel.

Not a bad movie, but the ending was a forced twist that didn't make a whole lot of sense and was just an emo gimmick.

7/10

The funny thing is, when I was watching it, there was a split second where my brain clicked and went "That's somebody's avatar!" I also recognized it from man of the graveyard man.

I agree with you completely, that shot is outstanding. That still image does it no credit whatsoever. It was so surreal, and trippy (brain click included) that I nearly shat myself whilst viewing.

atsonicpark 06.13.2009 08:05 PM

haha yeah i used it for a few episodes of the show too! Very good eye!

I wanted this to be a lot more ridiculous than it was. It was still funny as hell though, and ridiculously gory. Worth the $7 I guess.

Watched the american remake of Shutter last neet. Had some decent creepy moments like but all the while I was thinking how much better the japanese version must be.

phoenix 06.14.2009 06:17 AM

Terminator Salvation at the drive in last week. Alright. Disappointing.

I'm bored with Ghost Girls.

Hirokazu Koreeda's 'Nobody Knows'.

Long movie but I've enjoyed it. It's based on a true story, which you can read about on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobody_Knows_(2004_film

It's good but like every Tarantino movie, vastly overrated.

Personally I think Pulp Fiction is slightly boring at times but I'm just totally insane and crazy!

joe11121 06.14.2009 03:56 PM

I see. I'll have to check it out,.

Derek 06.14.2009 03:59 PM

Of course, it's worth watching. There's so many classic scenes in it that are almost integral to our popular culture. I always liked the Kill Bill movies better than anything else Tarantino made but I just enjoy samurai movies more than gangster movies.

I had no idea it was another of this type of film until i was watching it. This one was pretty tame compared to the Grudge and ring but still good even though some scenes could have easily been mistaken for a part out of any of the aformentioned.

atsonicpark 06.14.2009 06:57 PM

Pulp Fiction's pretty cool, yeah. The only Tarantino I love is his remake of City on Fire.

atsonicpark 06.14.2009 06:59 PM

I watched PERVERSE PREACHERS, FACIST FUNDAMENTALISTS, AND KOOKY KRISTIANS... 2 hours of clips of bizarre Christian television shows, ads, and preachings. Probably the funniest thing ever. 10/10.

deflinus 06.14.2009 09:37 PM

just saw the hangover..

not AS funny as everyone's making it out to be, but it gave me some good chuckles

Jeremy 06.14.2009 10:06 PM

I watched Aladdin last night while hanging with my girlfriend (At her request). First time I've seen in it a LONG time. What's crazy is while watching it, it all seemed vaguely familiar, and slowly I started to remember it all. A fun feeling.

EDIT: I also must add that I thought The Hangover was hilarious and probably (I think) will end up being the funniest movie of the year.

And also add me to the "Pulp Fiction is overrated" group.

It had its moments, but this was too much of a "series of wacky misadventures" movie... not my thing.

7/10. Bogey as a PI, nuff said.

i really liked it. there's this bit in the middle where bruce willis and his movie girlfriend talk about pancakes forever and it's insanely boring, but the rest is really good. i dunno, like derek said, it's tarantino.
(<3 mia wallace.)

mis amigas y mi just watched american psycho and nick and norah's infinite playlist. american psycho was awesome, and nick and norah was... better than i thought it'd be, actually.

Didn't care for Wassup Rockers at all. Don't really like Larry Clark though. (Bully's decent)

nicfit 06.15.2009 07:00 AM

  • Just before the robbers in City on Fire rob a jewelery store, one of them says "Let's go to work".
  • The relationship between Chow (the undercover cop) and Fu (the gangster) is mirrored by that of Orange and White. [there is also a similar relationship with Chow and his supervisor/Mr. Orange and Holdaway]
  • One of the gang members kills a shop girl in the jewelery shop for setting off the alarm. [not shown in RD, but it is talked about]
  • There is a scene where Chow is shot by a cop and kills him (Orange is shot by a woman and kills her) while Fu is shooting cops in a car by shooting at them with two guns, when they must try and escape after their getaway car crashes.
  • In the warehouse there is a Mexican standoff.
  • A dying Chow tells Fu that he is a cop.
  • [In Tarantino's original script, there was a scene similar to the one in COF where Chow talks to his superior and wants off the case becuase he's in too deep involving Mr. Orange/Freddy. The scene was filmed but not put in the finished movie.]
  • [During the jewelery store robbery in COF, Danny Lee stabs the manager in the hand when he won't open the safe. In RD, Mr. White relates a similar way he gets managers to talk.]
...Reservoir Dogs is basically the last 30 minutes of City on Fire, stretched out, with some clever dialogue thrown in.

The suits are lifted from A Better Tomorrow II...



 


Tarantino has publicly acknowledged the influence of John Woo, but has casually left out the contributions of Ringo Lam. As a matter of fact, when the "homage" was exposed by Mike White's "Who Do You Think You're Fooling," MTV quoted Tarantino as saying, "He's dying to see the Hong Kong original".


I say he watched it on the playback monitor of the set of "Reservoir Dogs." But like any thief, Tarantino changes his story often:
"I loved CITY ON FIRE, I got the poster framed in my house, so it's a great movie." - Quentin Tarantino, Film Threat, Issue 18, pg. 23.
"I've got the poster right here. That's Danny Lee. Ringo Lam is like my second, after Jackie Chan, third favorite of all the Hong Kong directors." - Quentin Tarantino,The Village Voice 10/25/94 No. 43, pg. 31.




.....


I just love how at first he said he'd never seen the film but now, Ringo Lam gets part of the writing credits now after the word "lawsuit" was brought up.... well... At least Tarantino likes good directors.. John Woo, DePalma, Scorcese, Johnny To, Takeshi Kitano, etc. But hell, Eli Roth has good tastes in movies and his films suck too.

I'm currently downloading every episode of the power rangers...

 

Shifty Prophet 06.15.2009 08:02 AM

Good show

noisereductions 06.15.2009 08:12 AM

Adam, remember the Power Rangers fighting game? Forget the title. But y'know, the obligatory SF2 ripoff one? It was kind of fun.

Sonic Youth 37 06.15.2009 08:20 AM

 


Goddammit, she was fine. :(
