Museum Hours, which I'm excited to finally see

Three that are among my favorite films of the past year or two:
Leviathan
Child's Pose
I Used To Be Darker

and Escape From Tomorrow, which is terrible but maybe worth skimming just for shits and giggles. maybe not honestly.

museum hours owns.

been wanting to see leviathan for a while

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Thursday, 29 May 2014 15:14 (ten years ago) link

oh i used to be darker was good? huh

schlump, Thursday, 29 May 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link

leviathan is honestly way more of a theater experience i think

socki (s1ocki), Thursday, 29 May 2014 15:17 (ten years ago) link

ok fine i wont watch it

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Thursday, 29 May 2014 15:18 (ten years ago) link

i'm gonna try small screen leviathan

I thought I Used to Be Darker was a very honest look at adult working musicians... i think it'll help if you're a fan of Palace as that's who the lead is.

I will because I have a projector deal with THAT

recently bought a proper tv to replace our shitty old crt and leviathan was one of the first movies i watched on it. it was incredible!

wmlynch, Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:30 (ten years ago) link

oh no man you gotta watch it on CRT

socki (s1ocki), Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:34 (ten years ago) link

watched it a 2nd time just spinning the dvd in the sun.

wmlynch, Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

i can kinda relate to needing to see leviathan on a big screen,but it's more so you can zone out in harmony with the film rather than because you need to cower at its magnificance, imo. it's a really spacey film, kinda arrhythmic & lulling.

schlump, Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:54 (ten years ago) link

its spacey like k-pax

socki (s1ocki), Thursday, 29 May 2014 19:00 (ten years ago) link

saving k-pax for optimal screening conditions

schlump, Thursday, 29 May 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link

i couldn't be in harmony w/ Leviathan on all the Dramamine there is

yeah, i did drowse in certain parts of leviathan

there's a lovely rosenbaum line about your mind wandering but wandering to interesting places

Daniel, Esq 2, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 18:13 (nine years ago) link

you can stream both seasons on netflix

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Tuesday, 10 June 2014 18:32 (nine years ago) link

it totally screwed-up my sleep schedule, but i've now watched every episode (seasons one -- two).

Daniel, Esq 2, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link

I'm gonna do that with House of Cards at some point.

Ishtar is up!

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 19:33 (nine years ago) link

FINALLY

"The Bride" - extremely odd, unhurried New Romantic take on the bride of Frankenstein with Sting as the doctor, fun bit parts from alexei sayle and a young Timothy Spall, one of the little people from time bandits in a focal role. A damned thing.

Exit through the gift shop is so awesome

watching this now (thanks for this recommendation). it is awesome. so much subversive energy in this film.

Gothic is on there now

And Salome's Last Dance!

Right now I'm trying to figure out wtf is up with the streaming of Mission Impossible films. Amazon Prime has the even-numbered ones only, Netflix adds #3, but nobody has the De Palma.

Just saw that BOSS (feat. a motherfucker with some dark secrets) is streaming.

American Oldboy is streaming, and having just watched it, let me take this opportunity to remind you that the original Oldboy is also streaming, and is actually a good movie, unlike uh

i want to see george bush eat a live squid

Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 20 June 2014 05:33 (nine years ago) link

exit through the gift shop was great. i like how it changed from a film about a cool underground scene into a film about a complicated, troubled, maybe sad central-figure. banksy's comment at the end summed it all up well: "maybe thierry was a genius all along. maybe he got lucky. maybe it means art is a bit of a joke." or maybe the real street-artists are jealous. or maybe thierry's life-story is the art, like a giant moving installation satirizing culture and fame. also, bonus points for the use of richard hawley's tonight the streets are ours.

Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 20 June 2014 10:37 (nine years ago) link

p sure ive said this elsewhere but my favorite thing about exit through the gift shop is that i know bansky stans and banksy haters who both love it and find that it re-affirms their view

xp- Sorry, that came out wrong; I wasn't bemoaning a lack of responses after 5 minutes, which would be selfish and moronic, I was just disgusted with my writing, as usual, and making a poor decision to vent that in public, also as usual. I'm starting to think I should invest in a shock collar that goes off every time I type the word "genuinely."

HA HA OLD FELLOW YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN
