I SAW IT

THE WOMAN WAS A BIT ORNERY AS WELL

Yeah, I saw that shit too!  I mean, I've seen people with a cat on a leash down here before, but there was something strange about that particular woman.  The cat didn't seem particularly put out by being leashed, though.

yep, saw it too, when we were walking to the grocery store for ice. i don't remember her being ornery though!

Noir double feature tonight, Tension and Where Danger Lives. 

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh should be here for tomorrow, Whit.  I'll keep you posted.

I intended to put on Spinal Tap, but got distracted by The Big Lebowski, so I'm watching tha instead.  This aggression will not stand, man.

I just got done watching Murderball which was very enjoyable in sort of a feel good documentary way but not too feelgood, just enough feelgood mixed in with a bunch of guys in wheelchairs knocking the crap out of each other.  I think it would be an interesting sport to watch, I wish there'd been some more game footage that was not cut for maximum dramatic effect, just so that I could get a better feel for how the sport went.

I have watched Hot Fuzz about four times in the past couple of days.

I'm temporarily winning my war against the internet, but it entails things like not posting my every thought about the 1973 Canadian Karen-Black-as-murdered-hooker movie The Pyx (okay, in a nutshell: disappointing).

I am curious, though, whether anyone else has seen Sweet Movie, which just came out on DVD and is probably the perviest thing Criterion will ever do (unless they release an Otto Muehl collection, in which case check out Scheißkerl for the finest in Reichian scat-art). I enjoyed it, pissing, shitting, age-inappropriate sexuality, naked woman writhing in liquid chocolate and all, but I'd be interested in other reactions.

I watched part of Sweet Movie at music camp when I was 17.  It was at a small liberal arts college in central Tennessee; when we were scouring the library's aging VHS collection it was the closest thing any of us could find to pornography.

I think we turned it off pretty early on...just after the Texan millionaire guy whips out his gold-tipped cock and takes a piss all over the female lead. 

Eight years later and I'm a) shocked I forgot about this movie in the first place and b) totally going to find it and watch the whole thing.

John Vernon! It was a stunt cock, but still, I'm surprised that the infamous Dean Wormer's very-golden shower isn't used as a selling point for the film. Who wouldn't want to see that?

I was about to answer your "who wouldn't want to see that?" with "me", but then I thought about it for a second and decided that I actually do want to see that, so I added the movie to my Netflix queue.

Pushing his themes of sexual liberation to their boiling point, Yugoslavian art-house provocateur Dušan Makavejev followed his international sensation WR: Mysteries of the Organism with this full-throated shriek in the face of bourgeois complacency and movie watching.

haha

Colin and I spent forever last night trying too choose between "The River", "Django" and "Rosemary's Baby". And then the vidoe player crapped out so we watched InSex clips instead. Good Times!

[guanajuato]

i like neal gaiman and i went and saw stardust because i enjoy the book upon which the movie is based. i snuck in a peanut butter and chocolate twix as well as a king size reeses peanut butter cup treat. the peanut butter and chocolate twix had half melted (sure was hot here today!) alarmingly so not only because of the heat but also because i have naturally hot pockets.

it turned out to be somewhat delicious though, once i stopped being a sissy and avoiding getting a baby's squished pea mess on my face in a highchair look -- except for with chocolate.

the reeses was less good because by this point i was overdoin it. i didn't need it, i didn't want it, but like scott bakula in necessary roughness, i went into the game like a thirty something dude who is getting a second chance to toss the pigskin around.

the movie was OK

Yeah, that sounds pretentious as all fuck. And to be sure, Sweet Movie IS pretentious as all fuck. But what surprised me was the unexpectedly breezy tone of the movie--it doesn't feel like a lumbering political allegory, even though it features a boat with Karl Marx's face at the front. It is, without question, the most whimsical film in cinema history to feature people smearing one another in their own shit.

As long as I'm at it, other stuff I've seen lately:

Revolver and Rabid Dogs. Two impressively tough Italian crime movies from the 70s, the former with Oliver Reed raising holy hell to track down his kidnapped wife, the latter a complete departure by Mario Bava from his usual atmospheric horror. Both have unremittingly bleak endings, hence winning them big points with me.

In the Belly of the Beast is a feature-length documentary about the 1997 Fantasia SF/horror filmfest, unfairly buried on disc 2 of The Manson Family. It's a nice window into the world of struggling indie genre filmmakers that deserves a release of its own.

Oliver Reed

I saw The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh this afternoon. I see Whit's point about Edwige Fenech. The score annoyed me, and I thought it was a bit too muddled to be a thriller, but I did enjoy it.

[jebreject]

watched less than zero tonight, which i'd never seen. i quite liked it, though the score was beyond bad, and i thought the ending was kind of cliche--though not without power, so that's good. robert downy, jr. is fantastic.

Woo!  I have that!

I watched Color Me Kubrick with my cousin.  I don't advise anyone else to see it.

[Aglaya]

Saw Waiting (meh) and The Fountain (regretting not seeing it in the theater) yesterday.

[elpollodiablo]

You guys should go see Stardust. It was great!

Glad you liked it--the muddledness is sort of endemic to the giallo genre, and I actually liked that score, but yeah, that Edwige is something. I think she has a cameo in Hostel II, which'll give me an excuse to see that.

THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE RETURN TO THE BOARD I COULD HAVE EVER ASKED FOR

I'd say she's the only possible reason to see that, actually.  It was pretty bad.
