"it's fucking grim and awful and you spend the entire movie waiting for something really awful to happen."
hahaha! it was not either! the end thing was scary though.

did we discuss how jacques rivette's OUT ONE -- all 13 hours of it -- is on netflix instant now?
― wizzz! (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 April 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link
i imagine jonathan rosenbaum will soon rescind his endorsement of OUT ONE as the greatest film ever made?
― wizzz! (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 April 2016 21:43 (eight years ago) link
we did indeed talk about it.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 5 April 2016 21:46 (eight years ago) link
i even talked about it today!
― scott seward, Tuesday, 5 April 2016 21:47 (eight years ago) link
or actually 20 hours ago...
we didn't really discuss it though. just got excited about it...

Mekons movie was good except for awful music critics in it, but I found Mekons themselves very charming (also reminded me to pull out Fear and Whiskey which is really their only album I come back to but it is a very good record).

there's a 0.0000000000001% chance i'll ever watch OUT ONE in its entirety, but if i do, i'll let you know :)

i'm digging it. i watch one installment a night. kinda. i can't stop watching The Booze Traveler.

nothing beats that first half hour rehearsal scene for me in Out 1 though. i loved that thing! i tried to get my kids to watch it and they looked at me like i was insane. and then i showed it to maria and she she BARELY made it through the whole scene. it embarrassed her and made her really uncomfortable. i thought it was awesome!
― scott seward, Wednesday, 6 April 2016 00:38 (eight years ago) link
No :( not on Netflix Aus, of course. But I loved the book!

i'm intrigued, anyone seen it? german humor + hitler seems like it could be... interesting
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
Happy Go Lucky isnt that grim! Certainly not by Leigh's usual standards.

xpThe Hitler comedy is coming on the back of a bestselling Volker Ullrich Hitler biography in Germany recently so I guess the German people's reaction to Hitler portrayals has changed since Downfall.
I wouldn't recommend it tbh mh, the joke wears thin very fast and the humour is very German in a sort of gaudy unfunny manner. Though idk some people might like it like that + find the idea of Hitler shooting a puppy dead hilarious. It also features lots of heavy handed stuff with Hitler interviewing real neo-Nazis and real racists, yeah I get it.
I am expecting more from Iannucci's forthcoming Stalin satire tbh

Yeah, I know the background, I just didn't know how well it played out in a film

now i kinda want to watch more mike leigh movies and i don't have any to watch. i kinda forgot about him. i never saw Another Year or All Or Nothing. i don't really want to see Mr.Turner. i don't want to watch Topsy-Turvy or Vera Drake. i want the family ones. don't need to see Naked again anytime soon either...

Another Year was good.

i wanna see Grown-Ups! don't think i've ever seen it....
this is when those exhaustive artsy video stores of yore came in handy...

All Or Nothing is on Youtube...
― scott seward, Thursday, 7 April 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
i can rent another year from sony for 3 bucks and watch it on youtube...good to know, i guess.

Leigh's Nuts In May is good family friendly fun

finally finished Out 1. took me awhile. i just never had a whole day to watch. plus, i watched other stuff. saw the last 3 hours yesterday. i still like the first chapter the best.
― scott seward, Thursday, 14 April 2016 16:03 (eight years ago) link
i just finished _autism in love_ and bawled my eyes out about 3 times. recommended.

Life Is Sweet is one of my fav Leigh family films.

I haven't actually seen it, but this seems like a safe recommendation.

i'm finishing daredevil season 2. one episode left. i dug it. might have even liked it better than the first season. not quite as disgusting violence-wise. the walking dead guy is a good punisher. elektra definitely a good elektra. i think i totally forgot that there was a jennifer garner elektra movie. never saw it. she seems a little too vanilla to play elektra. though obviously fetching in an elektra suit.

i mentioned upthread that i was looking for another way to get around netflix's region restrictions and i think i've found it. unlocator.com seems to be working for me at the moment so anyone else who's looking might wanna give it a try too
they're currently running a promo where you can get a year's access for $37 but i think i might just go month-to-month given the swiftness with which unblock-us got locked out

does it give access to any regions apart from USA?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 2 May 2016 12:32 (eight years ago) link
started watching The Assassin and it really does look cool but i think it would be even cooler if i was really stoned when i watched it.
anyone ever see Easy Living series? i might watch that.
also started watching Meek's Cutoff which is a total stoner western and i might go back to that if i ever get stoned. haven't been getting stoned lately. maybe have an Assassin/Meek's Cutoff stoner feature.

netflix put up so much stuff on may 1st that i don't want to see.
tracer, yeah, it's supposed to give access to all regions as far as I can tell. i've tried mexico as well as the us and it seemed to work fine.

borderless also works.
I love how all these guys have changed their marketing to be about security: "take your privacy back by proxying all your dns traffic through a server in barbados owned by a company with a po box address and no phone number who can't accept paypal!"
(lets me watch frasier tho, so.)

The Twisted Sister documentary is great, whether you like the band or not. Excellent story of the work they put in and the popularity they achieved before getting a record contract.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 05:13 (eight years ago) link
Agreed, I couldn't care less about TS or metal/hard rock in general, but this doc was really entertaining to watch. Some dodgy apologism is included (apparently during their "disco sucks" era they used to lynch an effigy of Barry White on stage, and they claim they didn't realize the implications of such act until some racist club owner commended them for "hanging a n*gg*r"), but mostly the band members came off as interesting and eloquent characters. It was also a good choice by the documentary makers to focus only on a certain period in the band's history instead of the usual full biography, because it allowed them to give a proper theme (the long, hard work TS went through to finally make their breakthrough) for the movie.

Did you guys see the Quiet Riot doc? That was pretty good too.
