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

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.

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.).

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.

Super 8 (cropped ;_;) and Piranha are up.

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

Tbf,.pos remaked seemed to recognize it was a pos.

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

that bartman doc was crushing

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Friday, 31 August 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link

Bartman seems so well-adjusted about the whole thing though?

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 31 August 2012 14:55 (eleven years ago) link

I don't know about that? Anyways what was depressing was how people reacted in the moment and in the short term after.

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 31 August 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link

I can't believe he still lives in Chicago.

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 31 August 2012 15:09 (eleven years ago) link

I had almost the exact same reaction. I have no investment in the Cubs or even baseball for that matter. It's just interesting (depressing) people watching.

these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Friday, 31 August 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link

I need to watch that one.

Jeff, Friday, 31 August 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link

can't believe they mad a whole doc on the bartman, i didn't even realize that it was considered a sport

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Friday, 31 August 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link

lolll

just sayin, Friday, 31 August 2012 22:53 (eleven years ago) link

"I don't know about that?"

Well really no one does cuz Steve Bartman isn't interested in telling us about Steve Bartman which strikes me as actually fairly well-adjusted ya know.

Just watched Mike Judge's "Extract." Not very good, but sort of endearingly mediocre, as if he shot it out of pocket over the course of a week. Great sort of underutilized cast. Bateman, Affleck, Wiig, Mila Kunis ...

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 23 September 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link

everybody watch REPRISE right now.
