24 frames per second: new movie thread

[girl]

Is today opposite day? How come no one told me about it?!

[YojimboMonkey]

Darling Fascist Bullyboy,

Send me more money you bastard.

May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman.

Love, Neil

[girl]

 

Seriously, between the Irvine Welsh hate and now the Young One's hate, I thought I was going crazy.

[Wally]

To be fair. I may have sand in my crotch.

[girl]

Ok, then. That explains everything. (?)
 

[jebreject]

There's quite a bit of sand. I've seen it. He has an entire coastline's worth in there.

[girl]

(someone make a joke about using the sand to make pearls. I just can't bring myself to do it.)

[sassymcassface]

Seriously, between the Irvine Welsh hate and now the Young One's hate, I thought I was going crazy.

i was waiting for someone to say that stephen king and some awful tv show i can't think of were way better.
then i was going to cry.

[Wally]

If you're looking for an interesting modern scottish pulp writer read Ian Rankin, Welsh is a fucking tourist (and yeah I don't care if he was born and raised there, he writes he's read about Selby and stopped reading at that moment), and if you're going to watch the Young ones, well there's nothing I can do for you.

[Wally]

I don't actually like Ian Rankin that much, but at least he nails all the things that Welsh gets praised for.

I have no idea why some of them are on there, I added them so long ago that I've forgotten.

[Greg Nog]

Southland Tales would be my number one choice if you haven't seen that before.  Otherwise, I'd go with any of the Planet Earths.

[G.C.R]

Out of the Past! Out of the Past!
Well, that or Candyman.

[girl]

Have you seen Out of the Past? If not, that would be my top choice, too. That or To Have or Have Not. (Lauren Bacall's debut, she was 19, she sings in it with Hoagy Carmichael!)

[girl]

If you're looking for an interesting modern scottish pulp writer read Ian Rankin, Welsh is a fucking tourist (and yeah I don't care if he was born and raised there, he writes he's read about Selby and stopped reading at that moment), and if you're going to watch the Young ones, well there's nothing I can do for you.

Noted. I mostly like reading Welsh for the accents anyhow.

[G.C.R]

Have you seen Out of the Past? If not, that would be my top choice, too. That or To Have or Have Not. (Lauren Bacall's debut, she was 19, she sings in it with Hoagy Carmichael!)

And apparently she's auditioned for Hawks before, but he told her to go away for voice training, and she came back 6 months later with her sexy breathy trademark voice. When she had first auditioned it had been, well, a Hee-Haw accent. Can you imagine?

i will look into him.
i really like marabou stork nightmares, like to a ridiculous degree. but i also like learning new authors.
and the young ones is a very good show :mad:

[girl]

I'm changing my vote. Lauren Bacall's entrance into the movie puts To Have and Have Not just slightly ahead of Out of the Past. It's one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

[Good Intentions]

I want to warn you away from Zardoz, Jim, but seeing as how often I refer to that movie, that would probably be dishonest of me.

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

I've been a netflix rush.  I have the 2 at a time unlimited subscription.  So I have been making it standard to get the movie, watch it and return it the same/next day.  I recently went through a good John Waters phase of Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living.  I loved each one!



They're the coolest!

[slow west vultures]

I present you the following three celebrity Tucsonans:
Linda Ronstadt
Geraldo Rivera (then called, I shit you not, Jerry Rivers)
The guy who played Coach on TV

I lose.

ooh, i can help.  i picked up this 'southeast arizona travel guide' when i was down in sierra vista and its got a whole lot of random ones. 

to wit: (not necessarily from tucson, but with a tucson connection)

Barbara Eden (Born in Tucson, starred in 'I Dream of Jeannie')
Greg Kinnear (graduated from u of a 1985)
Lee Marvin (lived in tucson from 1975 until his death in 1987)
Don Knotts (attended U of a)
Earl Hindman ("Wilson" on Home Improvement, born in bisbee attended UA)
Jerry Bruckheimer (attended UA)

and finally,
Stephen Baldwin (lives in tucson)

plus you got all those famous planetary scientists. 

and don't forget all those celebrities who choose to burn out and commit some stupid crime in phoenix or tucson, diana ross, glen campbell . . . i know there's more

[Ignatius]

Mike Tyson?

That's pretty cool, though, between Barbara Eden, Don Knotts, and Wilson, they should build a Quirky Sitcom Sidekick Hall of Fame.  Coach doesn't quite fit, but that blond, Vikingesque hulk of an assistant coach?  If only he were from Tucson.

[YojimboMonkey]

I'm changing my vote. Lauren Bacall's entrance into the movie puts To Have and Have Not just slightly ahead of Out of the Past. It's one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

Well Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep was the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen in my life so I'm declaring this the winner, with Out of the Past and Southland Tales behind it.  However, I've decided I really want to see The Host so I put that at the top of the queue with these ones behind it.  Thanks for the recs folks.

[edison]

The Seventh Seal. Out of the Past isn't too bad, either, yes

[guanajuato]

the orphanage. i've been wanting to see this for a while, because it was produced by mr devil's backbone -- a film that is, imo one of the best haunted movies ever! shit -- the orphanage did not disappoint. i recommend a viewing with the sound turned entirely too loud, and the lights turned off.
