‘The Deer Hunter’ is class, not for everyone (those who don’t like long films). Defintely in the top 5 Vietnam war films.
Agreed with that totally. The Deer Hunter is great, Christopher Walken’s performance is pretty chilling. It also was the last film of John Cazale the only actor I believe that every film he was in was nominated for Best Picture.
We watched Ong Bak 2 last night, great fight scenes, and a very gritty look to the movie. Some of the worst dub over voice acting I have ever heard though, will have to watch it again in Thai later.
Saw ‘Mesrine’ the other night. Pretty good alright, some memorable scenes. Liked the way it managed not to glorify him or demonise him too much, a balanced presentation of a fearless cunt. Vincent Cassell is definitely France’s version of a De Niro.
I love my men round and a bit weird, Paul Giamatti, Tarantino.
yeah I know that scene w/terantino from planet dread when his dick is out and he takes off that gas mask and he starts melting toxic avenger style gets me all wet and horny…
Tarantino’s appearance and demeanor have always reminded me of that of a pedophile. For example, I don’t think his character on Dusk till dawn was him acting, I think that’s really who he is. I have no proof of any of this it’s just the vibe I get from the dude.

I don’t think Tarantino looks a pedo, he’s just a nerd who gets away with being a nerd in public. But then again what does a pedo look like? Beady eyes? Overweight? Grimy? Patrick Swayze?

I don’t know, i always thought Tarantino looked like a real life version of one of the guys in the spy vs spy cartoon/comic
I fucking love this movie.
I had cheaply made VHS of it which crapped out (was official, and I didn’t watch it THAT much, but it stopped working).
Heard there’s a criterion version on DVD… I should check that out.
Oh yeah Tarantino rulzzzz and shit. Looks like a Pedo… I watched one of those “To Catch A Predator” shows last night, and I dont think theres any particular look to a “pedo”… pretty diverse range of guys… scary.

The Criterion DVD of Videodrome is really nice, they’ve done a great job as usual with extras and such. Plus the spine of the DVD looks some sort of weird bootleg VHS sitting on your shelf. I also have Dead Ringers and Naked Lunch on Criterion, those are good too.
Perhaps “Looks” like a pedo was the wrong word. It’s really more of the vibe I get from him. I certainly don’t get nerd off of him… besides, fuck that guy he gave us Pulp and Reservoir and then pretty much a poke in the eye with every movie since, I know many don’t agree but I’ve been really disappointed with everything since Jackie Brown onward… although still haven’t seen inglorious basturds so perhaps that’s his triumphant return to story telling.

Saw Inglorious Basterds last night.
Didn’t like it much. Was expecting Tarantino’s version of The Dirty Dozen and instead he spent a lot of time with characters that turned out to be inconsequential - similar to Grindhouse in that respect.
Saw a part of some anime last night. I think it was called “Memories” or something like that. Coolest plot ever: A guy takes a sample of what turns out to be an experimental biological weapon and winds up exuding a toxic stench, killing pretty much everyone in Japan, fucking up guided weapons systems, and leaving him untouched and clueless.
There’s a tagline for ‘Shutter Island’ that says: “Someone is missing”
YEAH, A DIRECTOR!
Scorcese, I want those 2.5 hours of my life back. Should be called ‘Shitter Island’
The wife and I were thinking about going to see it.
What was so bad about it? Pm the deets if your gonna spoil anything (just in case others don’t want it spoiled) THe movie looks hella good!
