re santa sangre: it's more like a straight forward horror movie, i mean straight forward directed by jodorowsky, of course.

it's more developed than most of his movies, it leaves less of you to try to fill in the gaps, but it still works like the others.

manos is also amazing. get the non-mst3k version. it's a very very creepy film. the jazz soundtrack and the lighting of the seconds and the just overall disconnectedness of the whole thing is overwhelmingly dark...


I'm glad I am not the only one who though that soundtack was just a little too creepy

 

atsonicpark 07.30.2007 10:47 PM

I meant lighting of the "Scenes" of course.

Yeah it's creepy as fuck. Anyone can find the non-MST3K version for real cheap.. it's public domain so you can probably watch it on youtube or something...

Classic film.

I don't know if I could watch Manos without MST.

Some of the movies are entertaining enough to, but some of them. . .

watch the police academy movies, that way you wont see anything worse. well, after part 4 at least.

atsonicpark 07.31.2007 03:43 AM

nah, the worst movie i've ever seen (and I own a little over 500 movies and watch around 300 new ones a year on average)........... well, it was either this film called I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE TOO (which had nothing to do with i spit on your grave, it was just trying to cash in on its success) or the vampire biker midget film ANKLE BITERS. but those are low budget shit fests done with a camcorder, and those usually always suck... so, I'm going to have to say matrix revolutions is actually the worst film I've ever seen.

I've never understood why people collect films. How many are you going to watch again?

atsonicpark 07.31.2007 03:54 AM

I've watched nearly every film I own more than once. I'll watch 'em with friends, my girlfriend, or just for self-enjoyment.

Note that 95% of my movies are gore films, rare exploitation, and B-movies... I tend to think most movies can just be rented from the library or will be on TV, so I just get the harder-to-find stuff usually. And then share 'em with my friends and whatnot as well. Fun.

To put things into perspective, maybe, I couldn't IMAGINE only watching a David Lynch film once.

Pookie 07.31.2007 03:58 AM

I got to a point where I had the beginnings of a film 'collection', but I sold most of them and now I'm down to about 3 or 4 films which I know I'll watch again and again.

well, personally there are a few movies that I NEED to be able to watch at will, plus in italy movies in theaters are dubbed, so I like to buy movies to see them in original language + dvd extras if there's something interesting... plus, buying dvds does not cost much more than a cinema ticket (a couple, maybe, for more recent movies... a ticket costs about 6.50/7 euros, most "normal" films are easy to find for 9-12 euros on dvd), and the ones up for rent does not always have the original language too.... bad situation, eh!

No, it really isn't, as a fan of the series that movie was an insult.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 07.31.2007 06:32 PM

The Nightmare at 10,000 Feet part was pretty good I thought. John Lithgow played the part really well. The other ones were meh.
