I watched another good one tonight that I had not seen for many years, “Rumble Fish” with Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke. What a great film.

I can’t believe that I forgot to put this in my list. One of the best films ever made.
It is really interesting how most of Scorsese's films feature the common themes of Catholic guilt and what Freud called the “Madonna/Whore complex” (a man's inability to understand a woman except in terms of the only two roles he knows how to assign: virgin or whore.)
I just watched “Raging Bull” the other night, and I was thinking about how much it has in common with “Taxi Driver” and “Mean Streets” as far as themes go.
-
Man, everyone has some good taste in films on here. I’m not surprised, but it is cool to see (or read, I guess.)
-
night of the creeps
Hell Yeah! I love this movie! Have you seen both endings? I wish that they would release this on DVD. I am hopeful that they are going to now, since the just released the same director’s other film “Monster Squad.”
Real Genius is rad too.
-
you guys were saying fight club lot. So i rented it tonight. Probably the best mover iv seen thus afar..

i read that theres an EXTREMELY good chance that night of the creeps is gonna get a proper dvd release in the future. The studios saw how good "monster squad" did in DVD sales (the majority of the stores selling them sold out on the first day) and i guess they're hoping lightning will strike twice
I bought a bootleg DVD of it from a comic book convention for about 20 bucks and it has both endings (the alternate ending with the graveyard is somewhere on youtube, i think). Rad movie, for sure.
-
I think the only movie that Ive ever been consistantly stoked on is The Life Aquatic. ClockWork Orange is pretty good too.

read the book too. subtle differences, and different ending.

So sick. I like this alternate ending better then the original one. I need to have this on DVD.
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid, and then seeing it again a couple years later and it was the version with this alternate ending and I was like “What the hell? They changed the ending!“ The same with “The Thing”, for years I swore that I saw a version of it on TV where it ended with a dog running away from the camp (Implying that the Thing had survived), but when I talked to people about that film no one had any idea what I was talking about. It wasn’t until a while later when the internet came around that I discovered that there were two cuts of both films.

tyler uses parrafin for the explosives in the book so the buildings dont blow up, saving the world from economic equilibrium unfortunately. on a good note the narrator doesnt hold marla's hand after shooting himself in the damn head. he goes to the hospital where the space monkeys still think its tyler laying in the bed but as far as you can tell, tyler is dead

If you own (or want to rent) “Fight Club” on DVD there is a commentary track with Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the novel the movie is based on, where he discusses in detail the differences between the book and film.

Ten European films off the top of my head, in no particular order
1. C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Belgian mockumentary about a TV crew that follows a serial killer, hilarious and shocking)
2. Limonádový Joe aneb Konská opera (Czech western from the 60's, actually a piss take)
3. La Stanza Del Figlio (Italian drama about a familiy that loses a son/brother, super good, realistic and moving at the same time without the pathetic and sombre elements one would expect)
4. 23 (German film about a group of teen hackers from West Germany in the mid 80's that get involved with KGB, good mix of zeitgeist, action and drama)
5. ¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto!! (One of Almodovar's films from the 80's, the usual fucked up plot and characters)
6. Muttertag (Austrian comedy about life in the lower class building complexes of Vienna. Loads of top Austrian cabaret artists in this one, might be hard to translate the humour, though)
7. Knoflíkári (Czech episodic comedy set in one day in Prague)
8. Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (weird German drama about a nurse working in a asylum)
9. Carne trémula (Another Almodovar film)
10. La vita è bella (You know, the Benigni Oscar winner. I was on the verge of tears by the end)

I love that movie. You have really good taste in films man.
Superbad might even creep into my top ten now. I’m still laughing just thinking about it after seeing it last night. “See when I was a kid I had this problem, maybe like 8% of kids have this problem…”
I would definitely be down for this thread becoming a general film discussion thread if everyone else were cool with that.
-

Every 5 seconds of the movie, theres a new thing to laugh at.

Maybe buying it on DVD will solidify my love for it.

where the buffalo roam
I have not seen “happiness” yet, it is actually at the top of my netflix queue right now.
A lot of people seem to not like “where the buffalo roam” but I dug it. I am a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson’s work. It was really interesting to see Bill Murray’s more subdued portrayal of Hunter as compared to Johnny Depp’s more manic version in Fear and Loathing. Murray and Thompson were actually really good friends in real life. Supposedly Johnny Depp is going to be playing Hunter again in a film version Of The Rum Diaries, I am looking forward to that.

It was the only movie I can ever remember seeing where I laughed constantly from the first minute to the last. Most comedies have a few dull moments or jokes that fall flat, but not Superbad. I was in a sold out show and the whole crowd was going nuts. It was awesome, one of the best movie going experiences of my life.

"where the buffalo roam" definitely isn't a great film or anything, just entertaining. i too, love hst's work and think bill murray did a good job of playing him, even though it was more the duke-esque character.. plus, peter boyle as lazlo. i can't really get into johnny depps portrayl of him, it's pretty awkward to me. the rum diaries could be cool though since it won't be johnny depp overexagerrating a bugged out raoul duke. have you seen that old bbc documentary from like '77 of hunter and ralph steadman or "breakfast with hunter" from a few years ago?

Yes, I have seen both of those documentaries, the BBC one was especially entertaining, and an insightful peek into Hunter as a person outside of his “gonzo” persona I thought. There are two newer ones out that I have not seen yet "Come on Down: Searching for the American Dream" and “Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride: Hunter S. Thompson On Film” have you seen either of those?

I’m with ya man. This is another film that a lot of people seem to dislike but I enjoyed. I saw it in the theater and I am not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear at the end when he got to spend one last day with his “Mother.” In fact, it was the only movie that ever made me tear up in a movie theater.
-
The Brown Bunny (hated it the first time. LOVED it the second time. I havent watch it since, due to the fear that i might second guess my adoration for it)
I have not seen this yet, but have wanted to based on it’s horrific reputation and all the controversy surrounding the verbal sparring between the director of the film Gallo and critic Roger Ebert (Ebert called The Brown Bunny the worst film in the history of Cannes film festival, and Gallo retorted by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader.” Ebert responded by saying "one day I will be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny." Gallo then claimed to have put a hex on Ebert's colon, cursing the critic with cancer. Ebert said that enduring his colonoscopy would be more entertaining than watching The Brown Bunny.)
Would you recommend it then?

The Brown Bunny (hated it the first time. LOVED it the second time. I havent watch it since, due to the fear that i might second guess my adoration for it)

sit through it at least once.
and if you hate it (which you probably will), give it a rewatch
That's what i did, and it ended up being one of my favorite films ever.
(and Ebert actually gave a "thumbs up" to the new theatrical version of the film - the version thats on the DVD)
All in all, theres probably a good 10 minutes worth of dialogue (the entire film is 90 minutes). But honestly, the film is naturally beautiful. Gallo did everything himself, and he isnt afraid to take chances with his work. I respect that in a filmmaker.
edit: also, if you havent already, go watch his first film "Buffalo 66" Its way more accessible than the brown bunny. So it may be a good idea to see that one before the brown bunny

did you hear about the upcoming remake produced by and starring Natalie Portman?

really? i hate remakes, but Natalie Portman doesn't sound that bad. I'll definitely check it out if it gets made. I heard that they were going to make an Anime version a few years ago, but I'm not sure what ever happened with that.
If you like Suspiria, they finished the 3rd film in the series last year. Its called "Mother of Tears", and it stars his daughter Asia. I don't think its been released yet in the states, but you can probably find a torrent of it online somewhere.

david gordon green is directing it. This is his first horror film. In the past he's done more minimialistic Terrance Malick sort-of stuff. More recently, he directed Pineapple Express. so yeah, the juxtaposition of his directing style with the subject of matter of Suspiria should be interesting.
Mother of Tears came out in my town back in April. I didn't see it, but everyone that did didn't speak too fondly about it.
