I think "There Will Be Blood" is incredible, even the ending. There are much harder movies to watch. Certainly if you like "Night of the Hunter" you'll dig this one.

it's also pretty humorous, nowhere near as dry as some ppl might lead you to believe

I'm totally going to revisit Marnie!
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 September 2013 21:20 (ten years ago) link
marnie is great, there will be blood is "fine" but definitely a movie i have 0 interest in seeing a second time.

Daniel Day Lewis acts so hard in that movie it's almost difficult to watch him

Like his performance is supposed to be brilliant because he has two very memorable lines and does a really good job at that old-timey voice, even though I get no feeling of any kind from him

i cld watch gangs of new york again. it's been a while. that movie, i thought, was more 'fun' than TWBB. and i like fun, believe it or not!!
― ian, Friday, 6 September 2013 21:59 (ten years ago) link
Fun! That's exactly it. Movie should have been called There Won't Be Fun.

You guys are craaaazy, Blood was super fun.
― Nhex, Friday, 6 September 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link
For what it's worth, TWBB has the best brimstone preacher scene in history. Not the best brimstone preacher, though. That'll forever be Mitchum.

I keep thinking bc of some sort of synaptic cross link that TWBB is a film of And The Ass Saw the Angel. Did anyone make a 4 hour movie of that yet with dd Lewis in it?

Marnie: the original tracks of herrmann's score need to come out in non-bootleg form by the end of 2014 or I give up on this fucking planet.

Why do people keep saying TWBB is four hours long? It's a whopping 2.5 hours or so, more or less 10 minutes longer than "The Avengers."
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 7 September 2013 01:18 (ten years ago) link
...and 8 minutes less than Django Unchained.

God, that movie could have lost (at least) 30 minutes.

watched Frenzy; great!

I watched Parker, pretty low key, had a couple moments
― space is deep (mh), Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:47 (ten years ago) link
Parker books are so good... movie is kinda eh. Wifey thought it was awful. I have a higher tolerance for stupid action movies than her.
― ian, Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:50 (ten years ago) link
It was not a Parker movie and it didn't quite gel but it's still better than some British Statham films. British action films sure are some shit.

i watched dragonslayer -- is good in its total expectedness, fn crust punk sk8ers are all the same
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 7 September 2013 16:32 (ten years ago) link
i couldn't hang with twbb. i watched half of it. i think i got to about the third or fourth thing falling down a well and hitting someone. so, that was probably enough. i couldn't tell if you were supposed to care what happened to anyone. and the music was really really bugging me. movie music for dummies.
― scott seward, Sunday, 8 September 2013 14:28 (ten years ago) link
has DDL ever directed anything? feel like if he made movies they would be more interesting than what other people give him to do. he's an interesting guy.
― scott seward, Sunday, 8 September 2013 14:29 (ten years ago) link
There are much harder movies to watch.
lol that this is a recommendation. "Not as excruciatingly painful as a lot of other stuff!"

No, I mean, it reminds me of when I saw "Tree of Life" in the theater, and these dudes were all "now I'll never get those two hours of my life back!" And I was thinking, kids, it's only two hours! Of pretty pictures! A Bela Tarr commitment it is not.

every time i see a PTA movie i think hey this guy has watched movies. he must like movies. sometimes having no knowledge of anything but movies can work for a person. i think it works for tarantino. but with PTA its like writers like franzen who write about things from the perspective of someone who has read about those things and never actually witnessed or experienced them. i mean that's how it reads to me. its possible franzen has seen a tree or whatever in the wild. and i'm sure PTA has seen someone working outside once or twice in his life.
― scott seward, Sunday, 8 September 2013 15:47 (ten years ago) link
See also: a lot of directors. But I will concede that as far as movies go, PTA is pretty movie-y.

You could say he sees ... the Big Picture.
watched SOLOMON KANE last night.why do i keep watching movies about fictional characters that i love? i just get angry. "THE REAL SOLOMON KANE WAS NEVER A GODDAMN PIRATE."
it was fun though.

did you see john carter? that movie is great. dunno if you've read the books though.
― scott seward, Sunday, 8 September 2013 19:24 (ten years ago) link
i haven't seen john carter. is it on the netflix? maybe i'll watch that later. i read a few of those books. i bought a huge box of (Edgar Rice) Burroughs books at a stoop sale last year, mostly for the Mars/Venus books, rather than the Tarzan/lost world ones. I didn't read them all though.

anyone watched the mind of a chef (w/david chang)? production is too flashy in places but it's fun enough

started watching a low-budget indie called The New Year but got bored. its been a while since i've watched a low budget drama where it looked like they just cast non-actor friends and neighbors in most of the roles.
― scott seward, Monday, 9 September 2013 13:26 (ten years ago) link
I've watched a bunch of mind of a chef. It's fairly entertaining although they hit a lot of spots that have shown up on various similar shows hosted by Anthony Bourdain. Also, it looks like they got footage from a small handful of trips and then stretched it out into many episodes.
― Moodles, Monday, 9 September 2013 13:53 (ten years ago) link
Not sure why I hadn't started watching it until now. It's basically the same (Chang + Meehan) people who head up Lucky Peach magazine. A lot of the material on the show was written up in there.
― is space noise (mh), Monday, 9 September 2013 14:29 (ten years ago) link
We watched the New Year the other night trying to find something at least somewhat funny. "Indie comedy" it was not. "Indie snoozefest" 100% accurate.

the only time i laughed during the new year is when her brassy friend recounted the dream about the bucket of vaginas on the beach.

I watched Electrick Children over the weekend. The premise was decent: teenage girl who lived her whole life off the grid in a pseudo luddite Christian enclave suddenly finds herself pregnant, in Las Vegas, and romancing a grungified Rory Culkin. Unfortunately, it required too much suspension of disbelief to hold up.
