Samuel Fuller's White Dog, based on the Romain Gary book.
I liked the movie more than the book.

Rock'n'Roll High School too, which was fun from start to finish.
An Allan Arkush movie with the Ramones. Mary Woronov was in it too.

the death of stalin. fucking hilarious!

Severian · 06.23.2020, 08:32 AM

I’m not sure why I was expecting this to be less than stellar — maybe because it was ignored by awards for the most part — but Knives Out was actually a crackling good film.
Nicely played, paced and developed. A beautiful homage to Agatha Christie. Smart and simple and fun.

That was a great watch. I'm not one for whodunnits either. Took me a little bit to get used to Daniel Craig dragging that accent around like a seal's arse, mind.

Yeah, same. I really like Daniel Craig, and that accent was unexpected to say the least. But it kinda grew on me, as did Daniel Craig playing a different kind of heroic character. I really fucking liked this movie and it was just a pleasure to watch.

Stacked cast, too, everyone just nailed it. Michael Shannon being mildly menacing? Easy. Don Johnson being a prick? Yeah! Girl fro Blade Runner being adorable and complicated despite the relative simplicity of the character? Ding ding. And Chris Evans being a Fucking DICK and still totally likable?

Great stuff man. So glad I watched.

OH, Darius from Atlanta too!

Not sure I've read anything bad about Knives Out, if I'm being honest, though I also haven't sought the feedback out. Just moments in passing online.

Rob Instigator · 06.24.2020, 10:10 AM

Knives Out was super fun and very entertaining.

i enjoyed the movie too, but man, that accent was probably worse than kevin costner’s in robin hood prince of thieves or keanu’s in dracula. absolutely from nowhere and a massive distraction.

Danger: Diabolik!
If it can't be believed, let's not try to make it believable.
Highly more enjoyable than James Bond movies, visually stunning.

i saw that maybe 10 years ago, and remember very little to nothing about it, except maybe it was pseudo-fantômas, and i liked it a lot?

anyway just saw this for the first time:

it was terrible, but good! hahahaha

Uhhh, wasn’t the whole thing that Kevin Costner had no accent in Prince of Thieves?

Like literally everyone had a British accent except for him, which I assume is because he simply refused and said “I’m Kevin Costner and it’s 1990, I’m basically god.”

*shrug*

he’s not doing a kevin costner’s voice. he’s doing a weird little affectation that comes and goes at random times and it’s HILARIOUS

...

btw i tried to watch UNCUT GEMS the other day and after 1/2 hours of not liking absolutely anybody in it i turned it off

!@#$%! · 06.27.2020, 09:20 PM

tinker tailor soldier spy

great movie, but not having ever read a john le carré movie i am glad this was on video where i could pause or rewind and figure out wtf was going on. “karla” “witchcraft” “circus” what??? eventually i sorted it but took a little while.

great fucking story. i mean, of the spy genre.

Uncut Gems is horrible, you did yourself a kindness

Severian · 06.28.2020, 07:30 AM

This was very good and haunting.
The director, Bennett Miller, is a real talent. I haven’t seen “Capote” yet, but now I will.

It is an enjoyable movie. I was really sceptical when I heard they'd cast Gary Oldman as Smiley but he does a fine job in a role that's still pretty much defined by Alec Guinness in the BBC serialisation from the 70s, which I can't recommend highly enough.
