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

Gah, I just watched Super 8 two nights ago (on DVD) and that movie sucked.
Original Piranha, or POS remake?

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 22:24 (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

"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.

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.

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 ...

Tape Store included Oslo in the (ongoing) foreign film series he curates at the local theater. It really affected me. This week's film is Thursday Till Sunday and the director and star are being flown in for the screenings.
