Motion Pictures (that anuse me)

[vom]

and I don't like Alex Garland's solo work very much but 28 Years Later had lots of really fun, crazy shit in it and I'm looking forward to the next one

[vom]

also I saw the new film by the guy who remade Suspiria last night, it was alright

I haven't seen the Suspiria remake, mostly because I hate Thom Yorke

[vom]

also I liked Bone Tomahawk although that guy does seem awful

[dng]

someones got to fill the ezra miller void

[dng]

oh wait there's another whole page of vom i hadn't seen

[dng]

now my comment makes no sense

[dng]

anyway, jared leto was so shit in bladerunner 2 i've never had any interest in ever watching it again, not even to see if i hate it even more now

[vom]

hopefully Tron: Arse has failed so spectacularly that he will never get cast again

[dng]

The suspira remake is a perfectly fine but largely unmemorable horror film that seems to think it's actually a really serious meditation on the holocaust or something.

But it's not suspiria at all

[dng]

suspiria

not suspiria at all

[dng]

also the man who made new suspiria made a version of william burroughs queer with daniel craig as william burroughs for some reason

(it was okay, with a couple of really incredible scenes, which is basically my review of most of his films i've seen)

[endar]

anyway, jared leto was so shit in bladerunner 2 i've never had any interest in ever watching it again, not even to see if i hate it even more now

yes, his character made no sense

also, the film

[blombluss]

now my comment makes no sense

Welcome to my world.

Yeah, that's the basic problem with it. I just don't see the point of having made it. You may as well say you're going to make a new Pink Panther film and then make a James Bond one instead, with lots of ominous references to the Berlin Wall

[CandyDarling]

In regards to "Queer", I remember watching the David Cronenberg adaption of Naked Lunch back in the day. It wasn't very good, despite them depicting things like living typewriters and mugwumps and all that. It was sort of half bits taken from the book and half biography. Cronenberg stayed away from the "talking asshole" story, presumably because it was funny

Really all adaptions of Burroughs's work should be along the lines of this

[dng]

I quite like a lot of the cronenberg naked lunch thing (especially ian holm), but it is the most bafflingly heterosexual burroughs adaptation its presumably possibly to make.

I have never watched a movie

[An Unicorn]

I watched WarGames for the upteenth time, this afternoone.

It's surprisingly watchable, and I don't want to hit M. Broderick in the faece like I do in Ferris Bueller's Day Orf.

I don't know, I still wanted the nukes to win just to blow him up.

I think there's a bit part with the guy who would go on to voice Mandark on "Dexter's Laboratory" a decade later though (cast against type as a library-dwelling pocket-protectored capital-N Nerd) so that's fun.

Also I quote the "how about a nice game of chess" bit often.

(so wonderful i made a heavy wave generator machine - https://accumulationofthings.com/twine/ ... ywave.html )

Comic strip generators are the highest form of internet

[dng]

The one true artform

Star Trek "Yesteryear" 2025 Re-animated show based on the 1973-75 Filmation series NOT AI!

[endar]

I don't like it. Too stunted and awkward. Also for some reason the characters make me think of Romancing Saga Minstrel Song

[blombluss]

re: Too stunted and awkward.

Agreed!

[dng]

islands - sam riley is relentlessly sexy while also looking exactly like jamie vardy, a combination i would have hitherto considered impossible

[vom]

Haha I saw that, but did not make the Vardy connection, and I am grateful

[dng]

it made everything 78% more unsettling

[blombluss]

Excellent. Maybe Cremonese thought they were signing Sam Riley?

[Pual]

In Fabric (2018)

What the hell is Peter Strickland on?

[dng]

i quite enjoyed that, understood none of it

[Pual]

Yes, me too.

[dng]

i watched the new frankenstein film and it was absolute bollocks. poor old guillermo del toro and his increasingly useles film making abilities (i didn't see pinochio so maybe that was good who knows)

[dng]

although also i was trying to think if there are any actually good frankenstein films and i'm pretty sure there's not

[dng]

young frankenstein doesn't count

[dng]

and nor do pretend frankensteins like edward scissorhands or poor things

[dng]

which is a shame because i bloody love frankenstein (the bok)

[endar]

but de Niro

[blombluss]

I'd prefer Frankenstein films if the monster was 2000ft tall and stamping on buildings, whilst quipping.

[CandyDarling]

I have now seen 2001: A Space Laughing Gnome three times on 70mm. I am quite pleased at this hat-trick, which I was able to do via cinema membership allowing me cheaper tickets

Also on Monday I saw this at the BFI Southbank, introduced by Laura Mulvey

[dng]

That looks excellent

[dng]

I saw princess mononoke at the cinema today and it looked even more beautiful/horrifying than ever

[blombluss]

young frankenstein doesn't count

The only one I like doesn't count. :'(

[endar]

which is a shame because i bloody love frankenstein (the bok)

best bok

1818 edition is slightly even more best

[dng]

ves

[dng]

young frankenstein doesn't count

The only one I like doesn't count. :'(

because its the only good one and would therefore ruin my thesis

[blombluss]

Very true!

I didn't like his Pinocchio at all

[vom]

Son of Frankenstein (1939) is brilliant

[dng]

hooray. maybe i'll watch then

[Pual]

What do you get if you cross Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, some sort of mummified ape man, a spy thief, an alien, a train, snow, a mad monk, a baroness, telly savalas as a Cossack ?

It’s Horror Express, some sort of spaghetti horror film on bbc iplayer.

Genuine 7/10

[dng]

I'm sure when I saw that it was called something different but equally crappy, like death train or something, but i can find no evidence of this on a four second search of google

anyway, somehow telly savalas in this is worse than he is in any other thing, and he is always the worst thing in every other thing he's ever been in, so that's some impressive telly savalasing alright
