shutter island is a very cool-looking movie, but i never want to see it again.

when life slips you a "jeffrey"...


Last night watched this with the lady
 

Man. 10/10. beautiful to look at, very odd combination of childlike wonder and awe and very harsh adult themes. Loved it.

I've had some Sasha Grey movie that sounds like a Blood Sucking Freaks homage laying around for like 2 wks, but haven't watched becuz we've been neck-deep (get it?) in True Blood Season 2, trying to play catch-up in time for the Season 3 kick-off.

another sensational job by Mr. Penn.

Am I the only one who does not enjoy bio-pics?

even the best of them (Bird, for example) are not enjoyable as stories to me. they are more like looking through a cinematic photo album rather than hearing a great tale.

I think they do have their place, but as films, I rarely enjoy them on the same level as I enjoy a film that just tells me an engrossing tale.

Maybe it helps not to know anything about the subject of said film?

its just a pity the 2 biggest mainstream gay movies of the 00's didnt have to end with main characters murdered cos they were gay.

we need milk 2 - harvey strikes back! in which zombie harvey milk is ressurected and reeks shotgun vengeance on the christian establishment.

seriously tho, we need to loose the subtext that gayness is nihilistic and suicidal, because i do think those films can be read that way (milk and brokeback), despite being considerable successes. and they were both still good films with some excellent performances.

Personally I love true stories be they bio-pics or the telling of an event.
Something about knowing this really happened strikes a chord in me. I also enjoy the King Kongs and Chaddyshacks of the world also. It is sad that they ended with murder but in Milk's case how else could it have ended? Also I knew very little about Milk before hand other than the fact that Dan the man murdered him...

Rob Instigator 06.10.2010 01:29 PM

that's my issue with it. if I know about a person or evnt then I cannot help but judge what the movie has done wrong, or what it has taken liberties with (as movies have to do)
If I know nothing of the subject then I have to assum the entire time I am watching that any detail in the film is actually just made up by the filmmaker to better serve the story.

I'd rather read a biography which has these same issues but at least there I can see the back of the book for a bibliography/source notes.

This should be a new movie:

Yeah i don't think they should have ended it differently, but i would just like to see a different more positive gay story in mainstream cinema, one were we fight back instead of die "gloriously".

I love it ! It would be a strong 8/10 for me, and I haven't even seen a single episode of the TV show ! I really love that kind of random humor, they can do whatever they want in this movie ! I'll watch it again one of these days.

atsonicpark 06.10.2010 04:30 PM

Yeah, The Aqua Teen movie blows. Go watch 12 Oz Mouse (since it's intended as a movie) if you want your mind blown. Greatest animated show/movie ever!

I watched
