bad lieutenant is gone, but that's b/c it was offered through Starz.

and yes, bad lieutenant is well worth watching ... Nicolas Cage and Werner Herzog together is like a wet dream come to life.

Just finished My Son, My Son What Have Ye Done. For the first 30 minutes or so I worried this was going to amount to mere quirk. But by imperceptible means the quirk took on more and more weight and became tragedy and the movie is actually fucking great. For recent Herzog i would rate it above both Bad Lieutenant (a delicious romp) and Rescue Dawn (an intense but narrow immersion exercise). It's funny about the Lynch production credit because this does feel like a blend of their two strains of id-touch. It is helped tremendously by Ernst Reijseger's score, one of the best scores I've heard in a LONG time, which I am ecstatic to see is available on Winter & Winter records (Reijseger also did the cello work on Rescue Dawn which blew me away at the time).
Will definitely rewatch before it expires next month.

i watched the original girl with the dragon tattoo and it was exactly like the us one. i think i will watch the rest of the series.

so it's like the let the right one in/let me in relationship?
(haven't seen the american dragon tattoo, i've seen the swedish ones and they were better than i thought they'd be.)

Actually I thought the diffs between Let The Right One In and Let Me In were really fascinating and made both versions worthwhile

Ernst Reijseger did the score for Cave of Forgotten Dreams too, I think? I liked it iirc. He's no Florian Fricke but who is.

Has anyone watched the extended versions of the Dragon tattoo movies? I watched the originals when they first showed up, and those were long enough as is. Mostly just wondering if the extended versions fix some of the giant plot holes (especially in the third one).

Prompted by a Jennifer Westfeldt profile, I watched "Kissing Jessica Stein", which was pretty good. They also have "Ira & Abby".

finished first season of Damages last night. very enjoyable. a little suspension of disbelief is needed to enjoy, but i'm all about ignoring reality.

been watching STANDOFF, which i gave a pass when it aired because ticking-timebomb/hostage scenarios seemed sooooo boring at the time.
but it's really entertaining! smartly conceived episode plots, and the thru-narrative is compelling - the leads (ron livingston and rosemarie dewitt) are negotiators who start up a relationship when they're not supposed to which then becomes public in the pilot episode. then there's kind of a working-relationship-with-mutual-admiration/stupefying love theme going on. gina torres as the boss, michael cudlitz as the gung-ho swat-type guy. apparently livingston and dewitt got married after this, they've got good chemistry onscreen.
also, always pretty hilarious to hear livingston sounding like peter gibbon.

wait so there are dragon tattoo movies that are longer than the 2.5hr ones? or are those the extended versions?xpost

the swedish t.v. versions are longer than the swedish theatrical versions. netflix has the t.v. trilogy.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:27 (twelve years ago) link
i think each one is closer to 3 hours.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:28 (twelve years ago) link
The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy contains more than two hours of additional footage not seen in the theatrical versions of the original Swedish films. Amassing a total of 9 hours of story content and presented in 6 parts, this complete version of the international hit series restores notable characters and subplots from Stieg Larsson's best-selling novels.

i watched the first one. i've had enough. i'm just really not in the mood for serial killers these days. i think i noted that upthread.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:30 (twelve years ago) link
or maybe on the action poll thread. whatever.
I don't think I can watch those again.
― NWOBHamster (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:31 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't watched it yet, but Shut Up, Little Man! popped up fairly recently. If you're familiar with that utterance, the documentary is apparently exactly what you think it is.

Today's Watch Instantly Pro tip: avoid movies with awesome VHS box art that were made in 1987.

haha, i'm not, it's on hulu. but i did look it up first on netflix so that my post wouldn't be off topic! guess i should have done more fact-checking.

Watched the one about Paul McCartney being dead today. Wow, it's hilarious and badly made. Pretty much the complete PID compendium, with plenty of 'clues' I had never heard of. Also the fake Paul is referred to as Faul, and there's a George Harrison interview at the end where they overdubbed it to sound like he's says "Faul".
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 03:25 (twelve years ago) link
Also, for some reason they think Rubber Soul was released in 1966. Also, they went to India to see if the Maharishi could find Paul's spirit and make it enter Faul's body. Lol

The next one is apparently coming in May. I'm looking very forward to it (just watched the rest a month or so ago). I do wonder how many of the participants are holding fast to their stated refusal to do further installments.
