i watched 'new world' last night, which is this pretty incredible 2013 south korean gangster film. it's this almost perfect marriage between infernal affairs/the departed (undercover cop on a long-gestating assignment within a crime syndicate) and election/election 2 (two different crime bosses vying for a newly vacated throne.) loved it!

what a grand picture that one is, we had the best time double featuring that w/'someone i touched' (that cloris leachman STD movie)
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 2 January 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link
maybe i'll suggest that one for tonight! nothing says "snowed in" like topical cloris leachman!

"Topical Cloris Leachman" sounds like what you should use to get rid of an STD.

Preferred the Schemel doc to the Big Star one, mainly because the Schemel one is just more human and involving I guess. Also, I can never quite gauge whether I actually like on balance like Big Star or not. I'm ambivalent about a lot of Hole stuff too so I guess the difference was the difference here.
Must stop watching music docs before my recommendations get ruined.

dug the ricky jay documentary, 'deceptive practice.' he's just fun to watch and knows so much about his craft.
watched 'the yellow sea', a korean thriller from the director of 'the chaser'. it was good, like 'the chaser', but also like that film not much fun to watch. the best bits are this harrowing journey where the lead character is smuggled via boat from Yanbian Prefecture to South Korea (really quite quickly establishes better than most films i've seen how terrifying a sea journey can be) and later the same guy staking out an apartment building where he's supposed to carry out a murder. the last act is pretty ludicrous and betrays a lot of what came before it and the villains' motives are murky. still worth a watch because of the lead performance and some impressively gritty imagery but it gets a little tedious towards the end and seems to strike a poor balance between realism and ludicrous brutality.

iirc quite a lot of All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is surprisingly beautiful. The cinematography and tone are substantially better than yr standard cheapo teen horror flick. The ending is really silly, as mentioned, though.

i didn't hate this one, but i also didn't really see the point. the attempt to keep the title character mysterious so as to make the ending "shocking" just translated into title character being a dull cipher.
i thoroughly enjoyed dredd. cinematography was really smart, mix of a variety of film-like and video-like effects to good purpose. i guess it bombed pretty badly, not even making back its (not all that high) production budget internationally.
dumb question, but does netflix just pay a lump fee for a bunch of films or do they actually keep track of "views" and provide royalties on that basis? if something is a "hit" on netflix, does the studio see any more money, as they would with physical-media sales?

i didn't hate Mandy Lane, either, but the ending wasn't shocking in the least imo---the fact that the baddy was outed fairly early on made the "shocking" ending pretty well telegraphed, i thought.
― gbx, Monday, 13 January 2014 06:51 (ten years ago) link
been wondering this too...

lump fees that get negotiated on a regular basis, from what I've been told.
