Talk About Movies: Part 4
Somehow threads merged, so here's part 4 of our ongoing movie discussion.
lol that sounds awesome....my favorite is probably Pitbull Terriers...that video is fantastic. But the video for I Fink U Freaky is a masterpiece. And the video for Baby's On Fire makes me laugh.
It's about a dirt poor couple who become global superstars without changing who they are or their original vision. It's also a moving love story between Ninja and Yolandi. They are so very cute together in interviews and obviously their respective worlds revolve around the other. The movie starts out with teen Sixteen telling us about her family...and we get a great biography of that family and DJ Hi-Tek.
I haven't seen this documentary, but if you do some digging, you may change your mind about them.
the documentary addresses the controversy. The homophobic accusations are silly, as DJ Hi-Tek is gay.
That's not what I had in mind, but I don't want to get into details or derail the movie thread.
Just watched some Die Antwood videos for the first time. Highly creative. Great antidote
to Taylor Swiftiness.

ya I fell down that rabbit hole as well as I randomly stumbled upon their videos on YouTube and loved them then got sucked into reading about the disturbing allegations but no idea really how legitimate they are it def wasn't as convincing as other controversies so I can't really defend or condemn them.
def can't deny their appeal and musical talent and would really love a better idea as to the legitimacy of the allegations made about them wrt to the underage stuff.
Forrest Gump really cool guy.
Counterpoint: The Man Who Fell To Earth
omg a need to watch that film, rollins goat!
I love Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic.
Evil Does Not Exist by Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Almost from the very beginning, a long tracking shot from below looking up at treetops, combined with the score, I was filled with a sense of dread.
The film is about a developer who wants to build a glamping resort on land above a small town, one that gets its water from a stream. Two representatives are sent to present the plan to the townspeople. Doesn't go well.
You might think this is going to be a film about ecological disaster, and it is to some degree. But it's much more.
The director's previous film, Drive My Car, which was nominated for best picture, is one of my favorite films of the last few years. This one is no less captivating.

Like in "Drive My Car" the director uses conversations in a moving car as key scenes.
The last several minutes of the film are exciting and unexpected but were a little difficult to understand for me. So I couldn't rate it real high but it was worth watching.
Paths of Glory (1957)
There is no such thing as shell shock: I was slapping troops before Patton made it cool!
The last refuge of a: Scoundrel!
Theatrical enough so that the corny make-believe isn’t off-putting: Offering lines like “Scuzzy yellow bastard!”
Not flinching during an explosion is hard, even during a movie: Kirk Douglas!
Don’t quibble about fractions!
I’m going to get out of here somehow: Me, a social undesirable!
The New York accents of all the actors portraying Frenchmen recall: Another age of filmmaking!
Timothy Carey builds on the joyous talents we saw in The Killing: And will culminate in Beach Blanket Bingo!
I hadn’t seen this movie since it came out. I thought it was silly then and I think it is silly now. Heavy handed as an anti-war movie, it nevertheless succeeds as an anti-courtroom courtroom drama. Some of the carpet chewing is truly exceptional. Here is where Stanley Kubrick develops the skills that will one day give us Dr. Strangelove and Clockwork Orange, and for that, this movie must be cherished. Check it out! You’ll love it!
"The inspiration was all my memories of radical political movements in the 60s and how fun and sexy it was to go to riots every weekend instead of raves. I didn't want to make a nostalgic movie. I wanted to make a movie that could take my memory of that and put in something else I know—making movies; to have a comedy about people's movie politics, that if people were so opinionated that they would go to war over which movies they liked." —John Waters

Watching his Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy. First episode starts with another car conversation, a long one.

I thought that 2/3 of Wild Robot was fantastic and 1/3 was pretty good. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys animated movies.
A lovely morality play with actual period footage and a burgeoning Cronenberg visual flair.
This Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listening out there. It's like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes." ... You just listen to the ol' Pork Chop Express and take his advice on a dark and stormy night, alright? When some wild-eyed eight-foot tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if you've paid your dues, well you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that — "Have you paid your dues, Jack?" "Yes sir. The check is in the mail."
