Seriously, I think it's probably universally instinctual. if I knew anything about the way Africa, or the Navajo, viewed robots/artificial intelligence in general, I'd be tempted to make such a claim. but it's true all over the world and throughout history in terms of the way people view and interpret the actions and motivations of any person, thing, culture, trend, or idea that falls outside their own understanding.

Then again, it may just be that "nice" robots/aliens might just be boring as fuck.

I mean, there's Robocop, and.. hmm. The kid from AI? Naw, even he was super creepy in a way. lol!

Yeah, I'm not the biggest DePalma fan but that's a great film.

rashomon

best thanksgiving movie ever mhuaaahaahaaahaaa

seriouly this is like the 3rd time i watch this movie and i couldn't remember the actual story. but now i do. one needs notes to track all the bullshit going on.

anyway, good stuff. the long takes make me space out at times and start thinking of other things, and sure there's much better kurosawa movies, but still... his love of photographing cloth (see: aldous huxley's peyote books) is as evident here as it was in ran. gorgeous. even if the restored version has some contrast issues (maybe from the original?). eh, i ramble...

Murmer99 · 11.23.2012, 03:57 PM

I'm a big fan of Rashomon. I love the way it starts with the damaged building and rain. The scenes in the forest or whatever are excellent too.

I was about to see Throne of Blood and it would be my first time seeing it.

demonrail666 · 11.24.2012, 12:40 AM

Biutiful

Jesus Christ. I wasn't expecting this to be a laughfest but what a total downer. Brilliant in its way but far too grim for me to ever want to see it again.

!@#$%! · 11.24.2012, 10:28 AM

fuckin shit, i watched "two escobars" yesterday.

it's part of an ESPN series called "30 on 30"

hot damn, people. this is good shit. dark as fuck, but really good.

EVOLghost · 11.24.2012, 12:52 PM

Jackie Chan movies never disappoint. Some parts really made me laugh....Jackie sitting on a bike with no seat.....random close up of a guy and he whispers "please help me"

Yeah...cool movie.

gast30 · 11.26.2012, 09:06 PM

-great movie a masterwork created with the worst sf-movie making

You've seen the Hustler, right? Far better film in my opinion.

demonrail666 · 11.29.2012, 06:36 AM

I have seen the Hustler and I do prefer it but that doesn't take anything away from The Colour of Money.

Last couple of days watched

The Fighter

I enjoyed it. It's all a bit obvious but saved largely by a really good cast.

The Hurt Locker.

Brilliant film.

Keeping It Simple · 11.29.2012, 08:25 AM

Fahrenheit 451.

Rob Instigator · 11.30.2012, 03:51 PM

remember when the cook farted in Down Periscope?

!@#$%! · 11.30.2012, 06:06 PM

waltz with bashir.

holy fuck. the end of this movie kicks you in the stomach and leaves you without air. MUST watch.

demonrail666 · 12.01.2012, 06:28 AM

The Wrestler

This is a great movie but it's pretty much a showcase for Mickey Rourke's extraordinary performance. I was never a fan of him in his heyday but he's just brilliant here.

I've still yet to see that. I'll definitely stick on my list, though, after you saying that.

demonrail666 · 12.01.2012, 05:36 PM

Trees Lounge

I can't tell if this is a great film or even a good one; I have such a hopelessly romantic fascination with the kinds of people/lives/locations it portrays that I can only say it gives me pretty much everything that I could possibly want in a movie. About as perfect for me as the average toe would be to a foot fetishist.

rented this ages ago when i was a teen for Chloe Sevigny and Steve.

only remember them and an ice cream truck. so, no. totally worthless and forgettable.

Murmer99 · 12.01.2012, 09:37 PM

Very few movies have moved me as profoundly as Wild Strawberries.

demonrail666 · 12.02.2012, 07:20 PM

Bringing Out the Dead

Not one of Scorsese's best. Too close to Taxi Driver and it does feel a good half an hour too long but I'm convinced that had it been made by anybody else, which would've brought expectation levels down a bit, it'd have a far better reputation than it does.

Gone Baby Gone

Whatever people may think of Ben Affleck the actor he's quietly turning out some pretty interesting films as a director. This is perhaps a bit too gloomy for its own good but even so, like The Town, this is far better than any film directed by Ben Affleck probably should be.
