Tabu overrated. liked the modern story more than the retro.

Wrong but modern story is great.

would like to see a low budget SF movie that wasn't set mostly in cramped quarters space pod. a little imagination goes a long way. hey, how about setting your movie on another planet with aliens as main characters? maybe try befriending set designers and makeup artists.

scott did you watch the little scifi film i posted recently (that i made)? no space pods. https://vimeo.com/48492387
lol i'd like to show you some actual dreadful films
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Monday, 11 November 2013 15:35 (ten years ago) link
i did watch it! it's weird!
― scott seward, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:53 (ten years ago) link
i can't remember how i watched it. someone must have put it on facebook.
babylon a.d. was not very good. i kept falling asleep. it seemed to last forever. the only "sci-fi" in it was blade runner billboards on the sides of buildings. talk about saving money. Faster was pretty good. pretty brutal. i liked billy bob in it. i mean it was bad but i enjoyed it well enough.
― scott seward, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:57 (ten years ago) link
babylon a.d. is on netflix now? I'd rewatch it. It's not very good, but the book it is sort-of based on has some interesting goofy stuff
― mh, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:00 (ten years ago) link
no, its not on netflix. sorry. i bought dvds. i listed them upthread.
― scott seward, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
ah, I missed that, continue on
― mh, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:22 (ten years ago) link
I wish the movie took place in s1ocki's neighborhood like the book did
which book??
― socki (s1ocki), Monday, 11 November 2013 16:31 (ten years ago) link
oh cool, an intentionally awkward/stilted film in which pretty much nothing happens but lol the uptight nerds hang out with a pair of new age swingers thats just classic material

mostly kidding, I think they are in the other part of MTL although they do blow up a house
obviously the edition on Semiotext(e) is twice as cool as the movie cover, even if it does feature Vin Diesel

Watched Denzel's drunk pilot movie Flight last night. Very effective at being a super downer. Well mostly effective. Egregious abuse of "Gimme Shelter" blasting over slomo walking down hallway bits. And when the son visits him in prison at the end I just had to turn the thing off. Couldn't stand to watch the final four minutes if that's how it was all gonna go down. Will say that it had one of the most breathless plane wreck sequences I've seen since 'Lost', haha.

Couldn't make it through Computer Chess. Switched to Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan.

Watched the docu about the filipino guy who became Journey's singer. Pretty fluffy but I guess bc of my soft spot for Journey I had a dece time.

started watching skyfall last night and zzzzzzzzzzzz....i still have 50 minutes to go tonight! yeesh, longest movie. not very good either. dreary bond. Dame Lady M kinda my least favorite character in film though. stiff upper bulldog thing with her is just dreary. she's kinda one of my least fave britsters.

they should have had an action movie director direct that movie. the only sam mendes movie i like is road to perdition.

Europa Report was all right! despite what some dudes are saying on the internet, very much not horror, although, you know, bad things happen to people and stuff.
― Wendy Carlos Williams (jjjusten), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 16:14 (ten years ago) link
I thought Europa Report was Blair Witch Project in space. Really great while you were watching it, totally vacuous in retrospect.
