i also didn't realize until the second watch that it's set in 2011, which makes a lot of the aesthetic choices make more sense

If you manoeuvre your way to a position of influence after an early genre success just forget about that surreal 184-page epic concerning Jack Kerouac’s journey to Neptune with Omar Khayyám. You saw what became of Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales. Do we need to discuss Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain? Better just make another horror film. Yeah?

I liked both of those films lol


I could see saying The Fountain is kind of a mess narratively, but so much of that film is just completely gorgeous.

I was a bit burnt out on the Kusama obsession in the art world in the last few years but honestly the doc on hulu was a pretty amazing story. i'm sure it's curated but i enjoyed it all the same. really beautiful, i can't stress it enough. what an amazing woman.

i just watched drowning by numbers and really loved it, i think? probably about as much as the cook the thief etc. but it's weird, i get the feeling that i'm really close to not loving it and i'm not sure why i find myself loving it so much. i feel like it's not going to age well in my head because of how smug and detached it feels and yet that's part of why i think i was so taken by it while i was watching, it's such a strange feeling film just like many of greenaway's films that i've seen so far are. but for now i love it.

since i last posted, i also watched my best fiend, which i thought was pretty funny and almost touching when i saw it and then i read about klaus kinski's history of sexually abusing his daughters and now i don't feel well about it, not like the film makes him seem like a particularly good guy but still, there's no mention of this. also watched snake eyes last night which i thought was okay but it had some great directing from de palma and an absolutely Classic nic cage performance.

it's one of my personal favorites because it's very chaotic/crazy without being as aggressively negative and unpleasant as some of this work around that time can be

it has the feel of a post apocalyptic movie, or definitely one that doesn't really hew to the limitations of contemporary reality

Tuba Gooding Jr wrote:The Petrified Forest (1973) - I adore Pale Flower, but this movie was kind of a let down for me. I think Shinoda really tries to do too much here. There's a lot of ideas that aren't or are just barely explored. The brooding protagonist doesn't help either. That said, there are moments when this movie is great and effective. A lot of the shots and compositions are really striking, and the themes themselves are provocative: loneliness, stunted masculinity, and trauma all swirling around a very critical view of family in the modern world.

I'd agree with this... it's an often nice looking and OK movie but doesn't necessarily go anywhere

between the lines (1977) - joan micklin silver

Image
memories of underdevelopment (1968) - tomas gutierrez alea
“everything ripens and rots very quickly here. nothing lasts”
refreshing to watch something made within the context of a revolutionary moment suffused with such uncertainty and apathy

prison on fire (1987) - ringo lam
the gift of friendship :(

the virgin spring (1960) - ingmar bergman

Image
the big heat (1988) - andrew kam, johnnie to, tsui hark
“you’re right. the whole world is after money. the best thing for us is what we’re doing now: sell them drugs and capitalism”

Image
the exorcist III (1990) - william peter blatty
not bad. as far as the sequels go compared to the original i still prefer the orientalist nauseous fever-dream imagery and psychotic atmosphere of boorman’s 1977 take. this one here has some really well earned scares and watching a surly george c. scott wander his way through proceedings has its fun

The Piano (1993)
This thing won a bunch of awards in '93 and the acting is superb but I was so confused by the motivations of the characters.. Why did the husband leave the piano on the beach? What's his damn problem!? I liked it!
Image

Thelma and Louise (1991)
Wait... Harvey Keitel is in this one too? I'd never seen it and it's got some pretty classic 90s skies in this. Good movie, good movie.
I took this screen shot for the random dude pumping weight at the gas station
