Two movies I want to see

LifeDistortion · 05.12.2006, 05:41 PM

I want to go check out "Art School Confidental", the new movie by Terry Zwigoff and Daniel Clowes. I've heard mixed reviews over it though. Also, anyone else planning on seeing "The Proposition"? A gritty western set in Australia with a screenplay written by Nick Cave.

screamingskull · 05.12.2006, 05:45 PM

fuck yeah im the biggest daniel clowes fan, i have to see this but i doubt that ANY cinema anywhere near my town would ever show it!

johnnywinternoshow · 05.12.2006, 05:46 PM

the proposition looks good, dunno about uk release dates though or even if it will go on general release or just independants. is that art school confidential thing a comedy in the vein of american pie? I saw an ad on it for pitchfork and thats what it looked like :S if that's the case, I won't be watching it

Kim C Not G · 05.12.2006, 06:00 PM

I would like to see Art School Confidential as well! If anyone does see it, be sure to give us your review! Hopefully, it lives up to Ghost World expectations...or even better.

SolidZach · 05.12.2006, 08:10 PM

I know its been out for a while.
I still want to see the producers.

terminal pharmacy · 05.13.2006, 05:21 AM

umm yes the proposition is brilliant, with the sound track done by cave and warren ellis. if you have seen john hillcoats other films you will like them. ghosts of the civil dead, and too have and too hold are the other two.

jon boy · 05.19.2006, 05:28 PM

the proposition was not that good. i could see what was trying to be done but it missed the mark as far as i was concerned. if they didnt have ray winstone or a few others it would have been better.

i dont mind ray winstone, just not in this.

I'm going to see the movie, but I'll probably never read the book.

Edit: Actually, I probably won't do either. Check out these reviews:

I'm not going to do either. I don't like modern murder mystery stuff. It just seems so boring to me.

I've played all four SH games and seen the movie twice. The movie is not as good, but if you go in expecting a bad movie you'll be pleasantly surprised. People tend to hate it or love it.

kegmama i know what you mean but this sentence is funny

Ich bin gael · 05.20.2006, 04:05 PM

I want to see THE KING with Gael Garcia Bernal. I'll probably go see it tomorrow.

Ich bin gael · 05.20.2006, 04:20 PM

and I can't wait until next month to see this:

It looks hilarious... Meryl Streep as Anna Wintour? OH GOD YES!

LifeDistortion · 05.20.2006, 04:28 PM

"The Devil Wears Prada", Anne Hathaway is in it, she was in Disney's "The Princess Diaries", more importantly, she was in "Havoc", what a revealing role, bravo.

Ich bin gael · 05.20.2006, 04:36 PM

Just think... if I was in France I'd be watching Marie-Antoinette in a few days! We have to wait until October!! WHY SOFIA, WHY?!?!

samantha. · 05.21.2006, 01:13 AM

I wanted to watch The Proposition as well, but I never got round to seeing it when it was in the cinemas. I can't wait until X-Men 3 comes out!

noumenal · 05.21.2006, 01:15 AM

People were standing on the side of the road here protesting The Da Vinci Code yesterday. There were about 10 with big signs depicting Jesus wearing the crown of thorns with underneath some sort of admonishing slogan.

My friend's church told them to boycott The Da Vinci Code, but she's still going to watch it.

noumenal · 05.21.2006, 01:29 AM

People should picket movies more often. Not for being blasphemous, but for being shitty.

Daycare Nation · 05.21.2006, 01:39 AM

Thanks for the thread. Art School Confidential is showing tomorrow...I'll probably see it after church.

I also have a copy of the Da Vinci Code but it was a gift--I doubt I will read it OR see the movie.

Are there any fans of Adrian Tomine's comics here?
