wtf @ neo ned

Looking for belonging, young Ned (Jeremy Renner) falls in with a group of neo-Nazi skinheads and soon lands in a mental asylum after getting entangled in a racially driven homicide. But the arrival of a beautiful black woman (Gabrielle Union) -- who believes she's possessed by Adolf Hitler -- sets the stage for an unlikely romance and plants the seeds of Ned's redemption. Cary Elwes also stars in this engaging indie gem.

scott: is it actually good?

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 04:38 (eleven years ago) link

I finally saw The Lovers on the Bridge last night. A bit of a mess, but *that* scene was just wonderful.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 04:39 (eleven years ago) link

i enjoyed it. kinda like heathers for a new generation. depends on how you feel about watching people being gunned down in a movie theatre though. or the whole i'm mad as hell and i'm not gonna take it anymore theme. i would have liked it s lot more when i was younger. because the idea of killing all the awful people always appeals more when you are younger.

The Turin Horse is now up on Instant.

Also Glengarry Glen Ross, which I admit I've been jonesing to rewatch ever since that thread got revived.

UPDATE:

though labelled as seasons 2, 4, and 6, the series of prime suspect on netflix instant are 1, 2, and 3. no idea why. this company is so fucked sometimes.

goole, Friday, 17 August 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link

"PRIME" suspect, indeed!

max, Friday, 17 August 2012 18:06 (eleven years ago) link

i was just gonna say. i think they must have fucked up the numbers from the episode nos. (last in 1 is 2, last in 2 is 4, etc.).

j., Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:22 (eleven years ago) link

the other seasons are there too, sort of.

what does 'sort of' mean?

goole, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link

well, the instant website now shows 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, but all of the actual series are in them, mislabeled and not in the right order. i think that affects how the show player skips through them, too. but if you watch on something else, like an apple tv device, the show's screen lists the actual series in proper order and properly labeled.

I never knew ppl liked Prime Suspect so much

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Monday, 20 August 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link

Gah, I just watched Super 8 two nights ago (on DVD) and that movie sucked.

Original Piranha, or POS remake?

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 August 2012 19:03 (eleven years ago) link

"POS" remake

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Monday, 20 August 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link

It's no Limey sadly.

This was probably mentioned upthread but Arbor, the doc about playwright Audrea Dunbar, is pretty amazing.

Watched the 30/30 "June whatever 1994" thing. I love the approach and agree^ it should be done more often, but I think it would have been vastly improved w/o the swelling strings, which portend something heavy that's never delivered, and the intertitles w/ the time of day, for the same reason. Would have been more hypnotizing w/ no soundtrack and jumping between "channels" more abruptly.

My fave of these so far is the Bartman one for sure

Hadrian VIII, Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

So I'm halfway through the Bartman one and while personally I respect Bartman for not having anything to do with well anything about the "incident" I do kinda feel like it's slightly weakening the doc that he's going to be interviewed.

Two Escobars is my favorite followed by the Iverson one followed by the June 17th, 1994.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link

he's NOT going...

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:24 (eleven years ago) link

I kind of like that about it, really it's one of the things that makes his story so compelling—that he hasn't played along as expected and recouped on his public shaming w/ a book deal or whatever.

Hadrian VIII, Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:28 (eleven years ago) link

Need to watch the Escobars one. Just watched Cocaine Cowboys though and am all coked/murdered up for the time being

Hadrian VIII, Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:30 (eleven years ago) link

reccomend!

"I kind of like that about it, really it's one of the things that makes his story so compelling"

I'd just rather hear what Bartman really has to say than listen to a bunch of other people project onto him ultimately (this is not all of the movie obviously--which I still quite liked.)

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 31 August 2012 13:08 (eleven years ago) link

this is kind of fucked up but i'm halfway through the bartman doc and i'm finding it more depressing than the two escobars. i guess because it's more relatable? like it's something that could literally happen to anyone

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 31 August 2012 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
