yeah, manson (1973) and charles manson superstar are by far the best.

I put up 3 manson interviews and the complete manson audio discography on cinemageddon last week. I HIGHLY reccomend the spoken word stuff.

Actually.. To be honest, and I hate to say this, but I'm really really burnt out on films. Nothing has really excited me in a while, not since SHUJI TERAYAMA a few years ago. I'm actually thinking of giving away all my movies. I gave a way thousands of cd's recently and hundreds of books. My mom was pretty worried when I did that. It just amazes me that with all the technology out there, and literally ANYONE can make a film, yet there's only a few people really doing interesting things -- trecartin, damon packard, james fotopolous, and so on.

just found out jon moritsugu is doing a new film, though. he rules -- scumrock, mod fuck explosion, terminal usa, famewhore, are all masterpieces really.

what a fucking disappointment. it's not like i expected much anyway.

i went to the midnight release for my birthday last night and it was crowded.
it started off good but i got bored as fuck. same old plot, dialogue, lame jokes and a fucking horrible ending.
i might have gotten a chuckle out of it but that's about it.

^ I can't even believe so many people loved the first one. I went into it expecting a good time, and only laughed once *spoiler* when the baby got hit w/ the car door. *spoiler* That was pretty funny.

Oddly enough, I've felt the same way for quite some time now, and I have much more unwatched than you do for sure. The last thing I saw was Raising Cain... which was disappointing to say the least.

Thank god for my current Joss Whedon addiction, or else I'd have nothing to keep me stimulated in that sense atm.

Have you been gaming more at all, by any chance?

I saw Chinatown....Pretty awesome film. Finally got where the whole "My sister, my daughter" gif was from.....

[atsonicpark]

CHINATOWN rules. Polanski is god. Please see FRANTIC asap -- totally underrated.

Just watched DIGGSTOWN. Surprised how much I liked it. James Wood is god though.

Also, no, haven't been playing video games, too bored with em. Mainly jsut been reading comics. LOVE AND ROCKETS and Jeffrey BRown's stuff ftw.

20TH CENTURY EIGHTBALL is about as brilliant as you can get, comicswise!@!

great films/ratings here. Totally deadon.

BROKEN FLOWERS, while pretty good, is just about one of the most overrated films ever (the script was stolen, btw -- look it up on google -- pretty nuts). That goes for most of JJ's films, aside from LIMITS OF CONTROL, which is one of the best films of all time.

Cube

8/10

I actually first saw this when I was 17. I was a sheltered child; it was of the first R-rated films I saw, and my first horror (the setting is kinda sci-fi, but the general plot/atmosphere is more in keeping with psychological horror) movie ever. I had never seen anything so graphic or heard dark ambient music like its soundtrack--basically, never exposed to anything so calculated to be as intense as possible and yet be intelligent about it. So naturally, it scared the crap out of me...I got as far as the part where they come across Rennes' body and think they're going in circles before I had to shut it off. Well, I decided to give it another try via the internet (how far we've come since 1999), and I have to say, I really enjoyed it! Not only did I conquer my fear of the movie, but I was also treated to an interesting story and a brillant show of what can be done with so little (the whole thing was shot in one room; they just changed the lighting behind the panels). Yeah, the woman who played the doctor was a little over the top (to think someone as irritable as her could be in charge of saving people's lives) and the some of the effects haven't aged particularly well, but overall, I ended up liking it a lot. Maybe I'll check out the sequel, but I doubt I'll check out the prequel (robbing the Cube of its ambiguity takes away some of its fearsomeness).

I dunno if you're still stimulated by horror shit, but you might wanna give Hack/Slash a go. I haven't gotten around to LOVE AND ROCKETS yet, and haven't even heard of 20th Century Eightball - but Hack/Slash is really, really, really cool! I'm slowly making my way through back-issues but they sell the anthologies/omnibi/graphic novels as well.

Lots of horror, lots of cleavage, lots of one-liners.

It's been a while since I've stumbled onto a film that's has absolutely captured my heart, and this French film by director/writer Céline Sciamma has done just that. "Female sexual awakening" was the tag line on Netflix, and first I have to admit I wrote it off as some chick flick, but the art kept calling to me. Finally I watched it, should ignored my first instincts and just have watched it.

All the way through this film I loved the electronic music that scored the scenes beautifully. I almost wanted to say I probably listen to this person who scored this film, well... I do! Para One composed this entire score! This dude does the beats and production for the phenomenal Ninja Tune/Bid Dada artists TTC (Some of the best foreign hip-hop not known to the majority). I was so excited after credits.

The film itself documents the sexual awaking of female girls, one girl is on the outside looking in at the neighbourhood swim club in suburbia France, the other is the successful and popular leader of the top age group in the club. This film so much more then some cliche young lesbian romp. I will realize this when the aura of the film takes you in.

The final scene was bliss.

10/10

Great movie by the director of "The Triplets of Belleville", so it has the same sparse dialouge which allows you to focus and appreciate the artwork of the animation a lot more.

i wanna see il cartaio soon

 

9/10
