Red Mosquito

Nobody Walks.

Awful...what a movie cliche experience...the characters are so shallow, their intentions dont make sense and the whole movie is just an excuse to look and sound cool. Really this one is bad.

It's like we live in different universes.

I like both of them...Falling Down have some great moments but its also too " in your face"...everything is so outspoken.,,...

As for Godard, have you seen his first movies? that guy has such a large filmography most of his work is weird and dated, but man his first movies..even if you dont like them, there is always something there to digest.

I'll have to check out more of his catalogue.

And Platy is strongly misleading . I admit that Falling Down has its problems, but as a social commentary on America I think it's great. If remade today by a guy like David Fincher, it'd be something special.

And platy I must say, I think we have more common than you might think.

Spoiler: show

the massive gun fight at the end. the story would have moved along just fine if the police had just been searching for him.

but anyway yeah I had to tough guy a few moments out so I wouldn't tear up in front of my friend.

I had to fight back tears myself, Dev. We could have bonded together and had a good cry.

Have you seen To The Wonder yet?

I watched the 2009 star trek tonight, pretty good

Watched "Stories We Tell" because I have a crush on Sarah Polley. I kinda faded in and out, but mostly I thought it was great.

It (1990) & Ordet (1955)

is that her documentary?

Just noticed that Netflix added a bunch of Troma "classics", including the "Toxic Avenger" series. They also added Matt and Trey's "Cannibal! The Musical". Fun!

Yes. Probably his weakest effort next to The New World, but I still can't help but admire the hell out of it.

Babydoll (1955)

Elia Kazan is now one of my top 5 favorite directors.

Roman Polanski was once going to film a movie about Pompeii, but funding fell through. Damn. I'd like to see that get made.

Yeah, he was great. On the watefront is one of my favorite movies from that era.

Have you seen A Face in the Crowd? Love it. That's what made me check out the rest of his stuff.

Still catching up on 2012 movies, just finished:

"Moonrise Kingdom".

Loved it. I may just watch it again right now.
