anyone else watch the Gainsbourg biopic? It's really weird but kind of awesome.

I dug the gainsbourg trailer when it came out but got the feeling it wouldn't be delivering on its promise
another great nonobvious french film is the awfully-titled love me if you dare but I don't think that's streaming anymore

stream me if you dare

I was looking forward to more films by the guy who did secret things but everything he did afterwards was gross

gainsbourg is by joann sfar who recently released rabbi's cati'm a little scared to watch gains; i'm a big fan of sfar and the reviews were kinda scathing

Saw that "Safety Not Guaranteed" is up. The movie is *horrible.*
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:21 (eleven years ago) link
S'alright
― Gukbe, Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:35 (eleven years ago) link
Horrible. The worst thing, ever. Like, the horrible boss who is an asshole and not funny yet who is the focus of some much of the movie even though he is horrible and not funny? The Indian guy? Plaza? Duplass? All terrible in this smug my-first-film indulgence that made me angry for giving it a chance.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:42 (eleven years ago) link
watched it tonight
eh

maria made me watch one of those arty dr. morbius movies last night. The Polish Bride. she kept telling me i had to see it and i'd put her off forever cuz the title always made me think of seinfeld movie titles and a young woman's erotic journey from milan to minsk. it was boring. and so dutch. but maria likes dutch stuff and hearing dutch what with her being a dutch translator and a former dutch resident. one of those movies where everyone follows art movie dream logic so it doesn't really matter what they do or why they do it. lead actress wears troll make-up at the start and then gets progressively less troll-like. very strange. after we watched that i put on Nothing Sacred to wash the Dutch cheese out of my mouth. Ben Hecht can make everything okay again.

in retaliation i'm gonna make her watch the german movie HELL. which i loved. and maria speaks german too so that will lure her in.
― scott seward, Friday, 15 February 2013 13:58 (eleven years ago) link
fight fire with fire, make her watch even dwarfs started small

i remember seeing a bunch of ads for the 1999 'animal farm' when it came out and it looked pretty horrible. i'd stick to the '50s cartoon.

gotta echo what's been said. watched Safety Not Guaranteed bc of Aubrey Plaza, what a massive piece of shit

it's watchable crap but it is the type of sitcom arthouse clogger you can use as a symptom of the decline of american indie cinema

The American Astronaut, certainly the best Western space musical I've ever seen.
― Women, Fire, and Dangerous Zings (silby), Tuesday, 19 February 2013 03:27 (eleven years ago) link
I was wondering about that.

Man, American Astronaut. I think I saw that when they were touring with it back in Ann Arbor like 10 years ago. Plenty of neat ideas.

If like me you weren't digging Parks & Rec. that much, give it another shot. Been watching it on Netflix all month. Good shit.

night tide, a weird noirish thing from the early 60s about a sailor who fails in love with a murderous mermaid, dennis hopper's first starring role iirc
― unprepared guitar (Edward III), Tuesday, 19 February 2013 15:32 (eleven years ago) link
always reminds me of vhs dollar movies. cuz it was public domain or something. like night of the living dead.

devil dog, best opening scene in cinema history. Three Satanists walk into a dog shelter...

after checking IMDB I realize I've seen almost half of harrington's filmography without realizing it. how awful about allan, who slew auntie roo, I even watched the awful bayou possession flick ruby a couple of months ago, which features this classic moment

doomsday book is up, a south korean anthology of dystopian sci-fi tales
and the 1924 hands of orlac, kind of slow going but worth it for conrad veidt's tormented performance
