Films you just don't get.

Well, whatever blows your hair back, I suppose. It's an obsession of mine that almost rivals that of The Smiths/Morrissey, including visits to the filming locations in the Lake District. I simply love the film.

I love Donnie Darko. First time I watched it was on a psychiatric ward...others I watched it with didn't get it. I don't see what they don't get

Burn it to the ground

A Bout de Souffle (or Breathless)

People say it's wonderful / great Godard movie / could watch it over and over again, but when I watched it some time ago - it sucked beyond belief. But because I know it's widely appreciated and considered as an important piece of film history, there must be something wrong with my understanding. I didn't connect with it on any level. La Nouvelle Vague is certainly not my cup of tea...

David Lynch's Inland Empire. A great disappointment because I really like his other films. But this was a complete waste of time. What were the bunny rabbits about?

i would suggest you watch it again. maybe three or four times. in differing mindsets. also, check out his earlier series, rabbits http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347840/. this might give you some idea what those segments were all about. probably not though.

*I know... after saying this I will probably be banned by Kewpie.

Went to see 'Sleep furiously' -= actually i was dragged and agreed as i dont mind old cornerhouse style cinemas - although getting reviews that called it sublime I wanted to tear my eyes out after around half an hour.

I guess "don't understand and don't see what all the fuss is about."

when my hawk is down it looks like one. Jealous?

Pics or it didn't happen.

Really? I've wanted to see that for ages, however I had no idea what type of movie it was. It was suggested to me a year or so ago. So its not about a car breaking down, space travelling alien incestual transvestites who create a man, kill each other, then launch the castle into space after a floor show?



Repo, the Genetic Opera, saw that the other day. Wonderfulness. Its more of a goth (and better) rocky.

Repo was great. I loved it!

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - eh?

i love that movie, but the "why" to that is 180 degrees from where it was when i first saw it 5 years ago
back then i saw it as terribly romantic and was doubtless in my faith that their love would(like the truth) would win out in the end

as a further counterpoint to this, i distinctly remember my then spouse thinking i could not be more wrong & being resolute in her belief that their loved was doomed
its weird when a film forshadowes one's own life
for just 6 months later all that i cherished would be betrayed
so much so i yearned til only recently to have all memory of her erased just as joel and clem did to each other...
