Movies you've seen recently

Watched both Vol. 1&2 and really dug it. I still think Shia LaBeouf is a douche.

[JkFlesh]

I think he actually did. I think it was symbolic heaven shit which was the only thing I didn't like about the movie. So in short, I agree. 

I agree that he probably died, it's just that, in a moment of oxygen-deprived delerium before death, he found a moment of peace.

All Is Lost is a harrowing film, I didn't expect it to be quite so stark and harsh.  It was awesome.

[GodShifter]

"All Is Lost" was great. I've thought a lot about it since I've watched it.

Some of the reviews I've read about it on IMDB though are scathing of "Our Man"'s sailor skills. Perhaps it should have been named "The Peril and Demise of the Dumb Sailor" instead.

We discussed his little soliloquy in the beginning and were trying to tie in his character to that.  One of the scenarios we came up with was that he was a rich entitled yacht clubber who'd sailed extensively through out his life so was therefore very smug and couldn't possibly entertain the idea of this actually happening to him until it was too late hence his lackadaisical approach to rationing and general survival.

13 Going On 30.  pleasantly surprised.  bought it for $2 in the shitty DVD bin.  got it for Judy Greer cuz I have a thing for her.  Jennifer Garner is good and pretty damn hot too.  basically, they turned Big into a chick flick.  DVD extras shocker:  they show pix of the stars when they were kids, and Judy Greer looks like she should've been the star of It's Pat!  she's got to be the ugliest duckling of all times

[poppus]

But as good/bad as Bad Taste?

BAD MILO isn't quite as insane as I remember BAD TASTE being.  It's sort of like BASKET CASE meets OFFICE SPACE. Great cast too.

We discussed his little soliloquy in the beginning and were trying to tie in his character to that.  One of the scenarios we came up with was that he was a rich entitled yacht clubber who'd sailed extensively through out his life so was therefore very smug and couldn't possibly entertain the idea of this actually happening to him until it was too late hence his lackadaisical approach to rationing and general survival.

my folks saw it and liked it. I haven't seen it but they mentioned his laze-afair attitude toward sailing and drowning and stuff. my pops mentioned early on he got hit in the head with something (tool box, yard arm?), and so chalked up his shitty sailor skills to a severe concussion.

Saw about 10 or 11 films at SXSW last week. Some were badass and all were worthwhile.

Richard Linklater's new film Boyhood was the cream of the crop. Shot over 12 years with the same cast, 3 days each year. Basically a simple story about a boy growing up. But seeing him and his family age and mature right before your eyes makes it truly epic and one of a kind, not to mention totally engrossing. Almost 3 hours long and it feels short. Of course, Linklater always does an amazing job of portraying the human experience, but he knocked this one even farther out of the park than usual. Truly a master.

The Raid 2: Berandal kicks some serious ass. Superior to the first in all ways. Great bad guys, great camera work, and there is actually a decent story. Oh and there are a couple of badass action sequences  

The Guest is the new one from the writer and director of You're Next. I actually did not really like You're Next, but I liked enough about it to check out The Guest. I ended up watching it again a couple of days later because I liked it so much.  Great 80's feel, due in large part to the score, even though it is set in the present.


The Infinite Man was kinda like a romantic comedy version of Primer. Pretty damn good actually.

Buzzard is the last of my favorites. It's about a slacker/scammer and his downward spiral. And it's fuckin hilarious.

Snowpiercer  10/10

I'm very jealous.  I'm absolutely dying to see it.

Wolf of Wall Street

My wife's cousin, the suspect Scientololgist you remember, used to work on the trading floor in Chicago in the 90s. He was one of those obnoxious club drug master of the universe pricks like this. Yuck.

[Lumpy]

Marc Maron - Thinky Pain. Stand-up set. 14 LOL's, 36 giggles and 12 smirks. I liked it a lot. B-plus or A-minus

The Notorious Bettie Page. Good (not great). I enjoyed it. Gretchen Mol does a great job portraying Bettie, if you catch my drift. Interesting insight as far as Betty's fun-loving expressions in her pictorials. B or maybe B-minus.

A boring predictable way too long movie.

I've been on the fence about this, but by your reaction(s), I'll give it a go.
