the making of this movie was also apparently a huge disaster and they scrapped parts of it multiple times lol

Hercules does not seem to be a very accurate telling of Greek mythology, but on the other hand they do have Danny DeVito sing a song so it's not a total loss

it's got a great voice cast but James Woods as Hades is a little too on the nose

of the post-2nd golden age Disneys, i think Treasure Planet and Atlantis are both undersung. neither is perfect, but both are really fun adventure movies (& better than like, Tarzan or Pocahontas imo -- but i liked Titan AE more than average too, which i'd compare them to, so ymmv). Lilo & Stitch is the best, and Home on the Range is probably the worst (even if you include the early CG movies).

I was looking at the list earlier and I definitely don't remember the Atlantis one existing at all.

Communion (1989) - aka Christopher Walken gets an anal probe. Favorite thing I've watched recently. It's the filming of an alien(?) abduction book that the author still claims is real. He went on to write five or six more! Only thing is that the director certainly doesn't treat it like fact. All through the movie there's all these crazy paintings and statues that seem to suggest your enviroment informs your dreams or hallucinations. It would also explain why the alien effects totally suck. At some point Walken is sat next to some props! Really good mood movie with shots of nighttime New York and a sick soundtrack featuring Eric Clapton.


That’s too bad the alien effects suck because this screen grab is incredibly scary

That scene is pretty scary and it's set up well, but as the movie goes along it seems more and more to be taking the piss. There's other aliens who look like they escaped from a cheap Star Wars knock-off.

Saw the Souvenir and Non-Fiction this weekend; both were very good

Also saw Ma and it had some interesting things about it
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.

This didn't used to be an Andrea Arnold board. I hope that has changed!

Image
Relaxer - As much as I love Buzzard, I don't find it that funny. Unfortunately this is almost all comedy including a bad Danny McBride rip-off and a painful scene where we see homophobia get wrecked by logic. Burge is very good so it's still worth watching. The whole thing just feels like an IFC Midnight movie from five years ago.

Image
Carnal Knowledge - Hey, no one told me this was so good! It's a weird blend of nouvelle vague, new hollywood, and kitchen sink drama so it probably seemed confused at the time, but has aged rather well. Art Garfunkel is a revelation!

"the beach bum"
first half an hour is fine, the rest of the film was really boring and redundant, ended up hating the main character.
the reflection on poetry/artistic genius/life experiences as a source of artistic creativity made me think of patterson

I've had this lined up for ages. Love Foolish Wives, but the four hour running time and prospect of a lot of it being still images keep it on the shelf. I'm sure I'll love it.

I'd go so far as to call it a 10/10. One of the most amazing movies I've seen these last few years.

I only watched the 2hr version, not the 4hr reconstruction so I probs missed out on a lot. But I'd highly recommend the 2hr version Pris, it's worth its weight in gold, its one of the greatest films I've seen this year in terms of old stuff.
