― is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Friday, 9 February 2007 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link
Incident at Loch Ness was a lot of fun, but would've been far better if they had been able to maintain even a slight semblance of believability all the way through to the end.
A lot of music I play these days is basically extended Aguirre soundtrack rip-offs.

... he certainly is!
I don't really remember the music in Aguirre, except for the dude playing pipes?
You don't remember the opening sequences?!??!

I must get round to watching the rest of the Herzog-Kinski films I bought a couple of years ago. Nosferatu and Aguirre are both larf riots.

Herzog's diary/memoir Of Walking in Ice, not available in English since 1978, is back in print. Yay.

I recently borrowed "Burden of Dreams" (that film about making Fitzcaraldo) from the library and it comes with a little book of production diaries that are a great read. The shit they had to go through for that film is just incredible. Eating a shoe was obviously a piece of cake in comparison.

I was rather disappointed with the ending of Rescue Dawn. It felt like he was trying to honor the life of Dieter but it ended up coming off as a cheesy attempt.
― Jeff, Friday, 31 August 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link
The documentary's no better for me. I said on the Rescue Dawn thread that Herzog doesn't do much with Dengler's weird all-American "pluck," which is to me the oddest thing about his story.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 31 August 2007 14:36 (seventeen years ago) link
I thought there wasn't much going right for Rescue Dawn even before the Top Gun coda.

It seems with Herzog I really really have to be in the mood ... at least to turn his commentary track off.
― Eric H., Friday, 31 August 2007 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link
Just rewatched Heart of Glass - man, what an ending. I had forgotten how great the Master was as well. Wish I'd had time to watch the commentary, though.

lol
Have you talked to him?No. I have no idea who Abel Ferrara is. But let him fight the windmills, like Don Quixote.Have you heard his comments at all? He says he hopes "these people die in Hell."That's beautiful!Do you relate to that passion?No, because it's like theater thunder. It's like being backstage in the 19th century, with the machines that make thunder. It has nothing do with with his film. But let him rave and rant; it's good music in the background.You did a remake before with Nosferatu, but —It was not so much a remake as an homage to Murnau. But I don't feel like doing an homage to Abel Ferrara because I don't know what he did — I've never seen a film by him. I have no idea who he is. Is he Italian? Is he French? Who is he?Oh, come on.Maybe I could invite him to act in a movie! Except I don't know what he looks like.

There is no way this film is going to be good, is there. Still, I guess he deserves to make some money.
The interview is v v entertaining, he's a funny guy.

His more recent hollywood drama stuff is pretty consistently bleh and seems only to be providing cash for his flood of pseudodocumentaries, which is fine by me.

Stroszek still remains a favorite. I like that it's billed as a comedy.
