Pretty much.

mangajunky · 10.15.2007, 10:07 AM

Excalibur

Nicol Williamson is the reason to keep coming back to this one.
Who's that hot chick next to him? Helen Mirren!!

Six years ago I was so moved by it. Six years later I enjoyed it more than I expected, but I didn't think it was great; just pretty good.

The shopping bag video made me cry six years ago I must admit. Six years later I wasn't moved at all. Notice that music plays in this scene. Apparently the filmmaker didn't trust the image enough to move the audience on its own.

There is something forced about the Wes Bentley/look closer scenes. The audience shouldn't be told something is beautiful.

"the audience shouldn't be told something is beautiful."

90% of people have to have it pointed out for them.

luckily i wasn't drinking anything when i read that. it would have come out of my nose.

that was very funny.

luxinterior · 10.15.2007, 03:48 PM

Goddamn Amelie.

If one more person tries to tell me it's the best movie ever I'm going to stop watching movies altogether. Either that or get on here and complain about it.

mangajunky · 10.16.2007, 09:33 AM

I will be seeing this tonight...I expect to be simultaneously turned on and depressed.

I've liked a lot of Ang Lee's flicks going back to "the Wedding Banquet" and "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman".

"Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" is like food porn...

but then I love food movies like "The God of Cookery", "Tampopo", "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and her Lover", "Big Night" and , many others.

If you see "The God of Cookery" then you have seen my soul:

Tokolosh · 10.16.2007, 11:56 AM

Watched this one last night. Very enjoyable.

!@#$%! · 10.16.2007, 11:43 PM

and to close chan wook park's "vengeance" trilogy (for the other too see my post above)

many thanks to nicfit for turning me on to the work of this awesome director.

this last movie was the most beautiful of the three. hard to watch at times, but at all times BRILLIANT.

nomowish · 10.17.2007, 01:47 AM

The role art plays in people's lives. And how they use it to define themselves. "He's a philistine because he isn't interested in intellectual books or movies". Yeah? Well, that philistine is fucking your wife!

Jeff Daniels owns this.

m1rr0r dash · 10.17.2007, 01:48 AM

short films about fucking from some of the more interesting people in the art world today. and despite a scene of a guy pulling out of a chick's ass to wipe some shit off his dick, the british board of film classification gave it an 18 rating (equivalent of the R rating in the US) instead of the R18 rating (equivalent of NC-17). ya! for tolerance toward artistic endeavors!

this film has not been rated in the US. why bother?

Tokolosh · 10.17.2007, 02:21 AM

^That looks very interesting. I adore Marina Abramovic. I should also look into Park Chan-Wook's films. Haven't seen any.

Lamont Cranston · 10.17.2007, 05:30 AM

Throw one at me if you want, hash head. I've got all five senses and I slept last night, that puts me six up on the lot of you.

Film Noir lives and it has developed teen angst.

It was better than I could have imagined. I can't stop thinking about this film. Don't miss it!

Savage Clone · 10.17.2007, 09:13 AM

Maybe one of the only musicals I have ever enjoyed:
