I fell asleep during it last night, so I will have to finish it tonight...

"Resident Evil: Extinction", not great, but not totally terrible either. And I can't really stand Milla Jovovich as an actress either. Only really could watch her in these movies and "Dazed and Confused", but otherwise she annoys me.

Really liked Yellow Earth, Zhang Yimou's cinematography is stunning.

Kabei - i find it difficult to dislike anything with Asano in it.

Record of a Tenement Gentlement

and is Repo Man 2/Repo Chick old news?,i'm not a big fan of Alex Cox but if David Lynch is producing it,might be ok...

Rob posted his feelings about Lynch elsewhere. That's perfectly fine he doesn't like Lynch; some people don't like mind-expanding films, period... even though, in all reality, Lynch is a fairly mainstream director -- despite some dips in surrealism -- he still is probably a bit much for people and some people become aggitated at the heaps of praise thrown upon him. My feelings are that there are a million worse directors than Lynch one should direct their anger at. I mean, I'm not the biggest Guy Maddin fan in the world but I am glad he's doing what he's doing even if I don't like his films. But if Rob says "Fuck Lynch!" (paraphrasing) then sure... fuck Lynch. Some people just don't like his style.

I love Bully. [mad crush on young Bijou Phillips, but also just like the movie]

. so nostalgic for me.

Re: Lynch and movies in general
I do not like, nor appreciate "dream logic" movies. if anything can happen then nothing means anything, and if anything can be read into it, then nothing is valid, just whatever you bring to it. I do not enjoy movies like that. I want movies to be like a well crafted short story, taut, with no filler, or extraneous nonsense.

David Lynch's movies bore me.

atsonicpark · 04.01.2009, 11:46 AM

Right. And it's fine to think like that though someone else will probably wanna beat you up. Me, personally, I usually would rather a film have strong and interesting (and, preferably, surreal) visuals than a lot of boring dialog and an overly complicated plot. But either way. I think Lynch films are fairly straightforward, aside from Inland Empire and some of his shorts. But some people can't get into experimental/art films/surrealism. Even a lot of his less experimental films are usually more focused on creating an atmosphere than having a well-crafted story. The same thing that attracts me to his work would probably bore most people.

No matter who you are though, I don't see how anyone could deny Wild at Heart! (or Elephant Man and The Straight Story, for that matter) Wild at Heart is so good that it's sickening.

noisereductions · 04.01.2009, 11:54 AM

I agree. Lost Highway and Mullholand Drive are pretty straight forward films, if you just take 20 mins afterwards to think about what you've watched.

Anway. I love Lynch.

And Snake Skin Coats.

And Bijou -- unrelated. Yes.

Rob Instigator · 04.01.2009, 12:06 PM

when I want to have my mind expanded and blown up and rewired I go to books. movies are too boring for that.

atsonicpark · 04.01.2009, 12:09 PM

Fair enough.

I think there's mind blowing, enlightening products in every field of entertainment. But clearly not everyone is in love with the projected image.

7.5/10
I could have done with less actors who aren't Bruce Lee, and less of the lame ass plot.. but god damn when you get to see Bruce kick some ass nothing's better.

7.5/10
Had all the ingredients for a really great movie, but dumb choices in the cinematography and soundtrack department held this one back
