yeah, i'm embarrassed to say i'm not up on the history of serbia (except for the little i know about kosovo) but the content of that movie makes me want to read up on it to see what motivated a group of people to make such a movie. i was really surprised by the quality of the film making. very well done but rough to the very end. the climax (ugh...i wish there were a better word to use) was so chaotic and shocking that i couldn't process the horror fast enough. there are honestly two scenes that i wish i could scrub from my brain forever.

far more disturbing than i could have imagined. it cannot be unwatched. it's definitely not for the faint of anything.
i feel like this is a pretty accurate review without giving too much away.
seriously, shit's intense. if you decide to watch it, make sure you haven't eaten in a while.

The pilot episode was golden - the one where he gets his own files. But the next two episodes I saw caused me to lose track of the series completely. It might've picked up again, but I had already been turned off by it.
yeah, some of the episodes are hit or miss but i still laugh more often than i do watching a show like family guy.

ha! brandon bird is the shiiiiiit!!!!!!!!! i just want to decorate my entire apartment with his art.
-
I searched but couldn't find a thread on this. I know it's been around for a little bit but I just started watching it and it gets my stamp of approval. Coach McGuirk (H. Jon Benjamin) voices the main character (awesome!) and Jessica Walter (Lucille Bluth) and Judy Greer (Kitty Sanchez) also do voice work (yay!).

i watched human centipede and it pissed me off. ugh! i don't like rooting for the antagonist unless i'm supposed to.

she has one of the sexiest figures ever.
-
yeah,
i like seeing them floundering a little.
-
yes, a thousand times yes! i was watching the history channel at my parents' house and it was a mixture of nazis (fine) and jesus christ and ghost shit (what?!). now i don't mind looking at religion or ghosts historically, but that's not what's happening. the last good show i saw on there was on the history of the blood diamond trade in sierra leone (debeers is the single most evil corporation in the history of the world, in my opinion).

i seriously can't wait until october. amc is kicking so much ass these days w/ breaking bad and mad men (sunday!!!!).
-
indeed. he's on my "fuck that director" list. i thought i'd be able to take him off the list halfway through mulholland drive but then he goes and fucks shit up for me again. i don't mind symbolism but tiny old people in a shoe box is not symbolism. it's fucking stupid is what it is. don't even get me started on lost highway. jesus christ.

man, fuck lynch.

just read the article baytor posted and that's really fucking interesting.
the deeper interpretation was fascinating.
i really want to watch this again now.
-
first of all, this is one of the coolest movies i've ever seen. and the cast was fucking incredible. with that said, here are my (and my mom's) theories of what happened):
my mom and i were talking about how we thought that his wife really was right about them being in a dream still and when she jumped she was going back to reality, not committing suicide. i didn't catch it but my mom said that in the scene with michael caine and dicaprio in the lecture room, caine told dicaprio that he needed to wake up and also told him something else that seemed to be foreshadowing that he was still in a dream.
also, i found it odd that he had no totem of his own. he only used his wife's totem, and he specifically emphasized to ellen page that she needed to have her own totem and not share it with anyone else so they can't replicate it. then, i remember that his totem toppled over at some point in the movie (toward the beginning?) so we're still trying to figure that out but our current theory is that he's convinced himself that he's not in a dream state so the top will not keep spinning in what he perceives to be his reality, especially since it's not even his own totem. i think i need to see the movie again to really understand that part so i'll go more in depth later.
also, his children appear to be in the same position and wearing the same outfits as they were in all of his dreams of them. it also seems that they haven't aged at all.

i have also been in a foreign film mood so:
i haven't read the book but i thought the movie was pretty good. it was a little long and the point was a little heavy handed (the translated title "men who hate women" doesn't really beat around the bush) but it was a decent mystery. i'd give it 3.8/5.
and
i guess yesterday just turned out to be a foreign serial killer night for me. this was pretty decent but i felt that
the end punked out
so i was a little disappointed. i don't know whether to call it an homage or borrowing heavily but there was definitely a lot of silence of the lambs in there, but they at least acknowledged it at one point. 3.2/5
off to watch more foreign films!

Toy Story 3
Toward the end, i thought they had hired Joss Whedon to write again. Also, Mr. Tortilla Head and Buzz en castellano were my favorites.
-
Apparently the series is being made into an anime as well.
Just started over from the beginning before catching up on the series (only made it to the end of season 2 a while back).
i love this show! how interesting. i loved all the christian mythology stuff the last couple of seasons.
-
i finally got into and quickly finished this show (it's on thewb.com for those in the U.S.). God damn that was a fine show and kristen bell is fucking AWESOME! the 3rd season was a bit choppy and some of the main characters from previous seasons were M.I.A. or marginalized at times during the last season, but the first two seasons are absolutely solid. awesome writing (it's successfully filled my whedon void since dollhouse ended). i'm feeling really pissed after watching the last episode though. i couldn't believe that was it. shit needs to be resolved. i hope they make a movie but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. anyway, i just needed to praise/vent.

Must admit i stopped watching after Season 2, pity it was quite enjoyable.
you actually stopped watching when it was still considered somewhat enjoyable. then they decided to focus on way too many characters at the same time and it got slow as shit. i, for one, am glad it's finally been put out of it's misery. they could never top the first season.
-
people like this make me so very very sad. who surgically removed your sense of humor? who?! have you seen some of the comments on the youtube page? they look like they were written by mel gibson.
-
yeah, i'm not a fan of the changes they do for american remakes or american releases of foreign films. the change in the descent was so ridiculous. that's what i'm worried about with let me in. i think that was an important scene in let the right one in and leaving it out would really piss me off. my guess is that they'll leave it out because of america's uber-sensitivity to school violence (among other things) but i'm hoping i'm wrong. the way it was filmed in the original was perfect.

sometimes things work out for the very best.im most upset about will smith in oldboy
theyll definitely cut that out @ baytor
do you know if they're keeping the ending in tact?As for Let Me In, I'm not sure where I stand on it. My knee-jerk reaction is to hate it but the director seems to have more than a passing care about the subject matter. He made a point to set it in Colorado in the 80s and though he changed to main characters' names it's not too traumatizing. He picked two great child actors (Codi Smit-McFee from "The Road" and Chloe Moritz from "Kick-Ass", not to mention Richard Jenkins from "Burn After Reading" as Hakken) So far, the setting and the actors please me, so any fuck-ups at this stage will be on the shoulders of the script or the director.EDIT: This picture gives me hope -
finally, a cause i can get behind!
theyll definitely cut that out @ baytor
What was the last film you saw?
in Mystery Hondo's Theater 3000

yes, never again. and i honestly can't think of a single person who i could even recommend it to and feel good about it.
i don't know about you but
i had to keep rationalizing a lot of the scenes to stomach them, which was not working very well. for instance, i thought the baby looked like quatto from total recall but that still wasn't enough to detract from the core concept of the scene. also, i kept trying to remind myself that Milos was on uber drugs so it's not really his fault with what happened, but i was still totally rooting for his wife to kill him when she saw what was going on. you know shit's hardcore when a movie can make a mid-coitus decapitation seem like one of the more tame scenes in the movie.
