remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination
Phew
👀
The Bride = amazing!! Why there’s not a line around every block to catch a Great Gatsby meets the untouchables 30s-set, monster-lovers on the run story filled with righteous feminist fury and exuberant dance numbers is beyond me.
Bizarrely the commercial breaks first line of VO is ‘this is what it feels like to make time stand still’
Status report: watching outer limits, season 2, ep 16: the premonition
Wow wow wow!!! Always adored Kirby’s collages but had never seen any of the source material tracked down!
We can do it
Do those numbers include my wife and I going tonight?
At one point he literally says ‘the following is not my own opinion’ which is an unusual play for a narrator, but considering the context, makes sense.
Orson Welles narrates ‘the man saw tomorrow’
Chilling out with tonight’s movie:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang didn't used to b so scary www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lehc...
ooh
A week after I discovered the dark secret of adding "-ai" to every Google search and it still brings me peace and joy.
I farted at a NY Underground Film Festival screening and Rockets Redglare complained about it so loudly and profanely that everyone thought he did it.
Oh yeah? Never saw most of them - great song.
I guess I lost my chance at being first to use 'State Trooper' in a movie. Glad they made a meal of it.
EVERYDAY
Hand in Jaws
Ear in Blue Velvet
While watching Jaws in class yesterday, I realized for the first time that the ear being eaten by ants in Blue Velvet must be an homage to the hand being eaten by crabs in Spielberg's film. Both shots work similarly, suggesting the small American town is rotting back into a state of nature.
Paints a picture. Funny movie to show to school kids, stridently anti-corporate and pro-horse thievery.
Such a great set-up, could make a heck of a TV series set in a Taxi Driver / Wolfen / Cruising era NYC
Not an expert recommendation, nor a cinematic vampire (yet!) but JM DeMatteis’ Greenberg is a fantastic premise:
a mild-mannered undead 1970s NYC horror author who writes what knows.. www.jmdematteis.com/2015/09/the-...
It sure was, even the title sequence is a complete journey.
Original poster growing on me, spontaneous and authentic, bold choice to go with one where their faces are obscured. Back to the disc art, ignoring the bland aesthetics: a) they never go to monument valley and b) the electric lights on the suit/horse went out before he left the Vegas strip.
Hallie Martin too, but I wish Sonny coulda stopped kvetching at her and just let her film their fugitive race for horse freedom. First half = amazing, then touch and go but have to love its anti-heist premise. And it’s got Willie Nelson, Valerie Perrine AND John Saxon? An embarrassment of riches.
