Though unfortunately, they also nailed the shitty narrative most of those movies have too. If you even half way know what these movies are like, you know every beat that's going to come up through the film as you watch it. Oh, this person is going to die here, she's going to do this, she's going to get drugged here, there's going to be a chased through the woods sequence here, amazingly predictable. But like I said, the visuals, are really interesting, so there's that.

I adored it. And I"ve hated most of Ty West's output but this movie is incedible.

Sorry to be nasty. I just feel some embarassment at my younger self for actually taking this crap seriously.

Now, this is a fucking great movie:



 


Bobcat Goldthwait kicks the shit out of Godard.


It's weird that I can disagree completely with you on Godard, yet completely understand exactly where you're coming from as far as your claims of feeling, "embarassment at my younger self for actually taking this crap seriously".

I find Godard to be one of the most inspiring/educational cats you can possibly watch as a film buff/someone working in the industry. To me, his work showcases a multitude of unique approaches to framing, sound design, and editing. His plots may (possibly too often) get a little lost along the way, but I've never once been watching a Godard film and thought, "MY LORD! HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS DRECK!?!"

Your perspective is understandable though. I'm constantly rolling my eyes at how much acclaim many works of 'art' that I find dull, or pretentious can receive. It feels gross, and I certainly respect entertainment over art, any day.

Also your image is broken. I can't see what Goldthwait film you're talking about.

Liking Godard is purely subjective but I don't see why anyone wouldn't respect what he did, at least for a period in his career.

There's a lot of love for Herzog's version here I think. I sort of like them equally but in very different ways. Watching them back to back I was thinking how great it'd be if Bad Lieutenant became a kind of standard, being constantly re-imagined by other quite maverick filmmakers. I'd love to see a Lars Von Trier Bad Lieutenant, or a Tarantino one or a Michaerl Mann one. It could be the same with actors, after Harvey Keitel and Cage, imagine a whole sequence of films with the lieutenant played by the likes of Steve Buscemi, Christian Bale, etc. All putting their slant on it. Like a cool Bond franchise.

I kind of love that idea. Michael Mann's "Bad Lieutenant" starring Tom Cruise.

Tarantino's starring Bruce Willis.

Lars Von Trier's starring Stellan Skarsgaard.

David Lynch's starring Laura Dern.

Exactly! A Lynch one would be great.

Some other directors I'd love to see do it:

William Friedkin
Gasper Noe
Almodovar
Brian DePalma
Michael Haneke
The Hughes Brothers
Tim Burton ( )
Scorsese
Spike Lee
Beat Takeshi (isn't Violent Cop basically the same thing?)
Robert Rodriguez

Some actors:

Al Pacino
Nick Nolte (perhaps a bit too old now but he would've been perfect a few years ago)
Gene Hackman (same age problem as Nolte but wasn't Popeye Doyle the original Bad Lieutenant?)
Gary Oldman
Christian Bale
Robert Downey Jnr
Beat Takeshi
Lindsay Lohan
Kevin Spacey
Russell Crowe
Willem Defoe
Alec Baldwin
Ray Winstone
Ray Liotta
Javier Bardem

I still haven't seen the Keitel original (I know - shame, shame), but I'd definitely fork over cash twice to see a DePalma directed Bad Lieutenant starring Lohan.

it's funny and absurd that an experienced hunter such as her ends up running in a straight line along a train track with no escape route. i'm like "fur sirius, bitch? why not run to the fucking trees you know so well".

Oh seriously, you must see it. It's completely bonkers. Bits of it are a little silly and Ferrara is maybe even more ott than normal (only he could make Herzog seem understated by comparison) but if you like gritty cop movies, Ferrara's BL has to be a must.

Over the years I think I've probably seen all hios films. I've liked some more than others but had a soft spot for all of them. If you've not already seen it, two of his most underrated are The Blackout (a sort of 8 1/2 meets Leaving Las Vegas) and his made for TV version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, called simply Body Snatchers.
