The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Bizarre but enjoyable. Gambon always cool.

Saw this a long time ago. I don't remember a lot about it beyond the fact that it was really weird. May have to watch it again.

Not sure it's the kind I'd watch again, to be honest. Tongue

It does include the smearing of a man with feces and the delicacy of glazed penis for dinner.

lol. It was NC-17 in the states.

MULLHOLLAND DR.

Classic Lynch-weirdness. I had actually never seen most of it before I caught it on television this morning. Apparently it was originally designed as a pilot. I would've loved to see it as a television show but networks would've castrated it. Perhaps with the television revival that seems to be going on with programs on AMC and HBO, Lynch could be inspired to try to bring it to the small screen again. It would be a great gift for those (like myself) that miss "Twin Peaks."

I'm currently working my way through the second season.

The second season is a bit weak in my opinion but it has to be appreciated since that's all there is. The last few episodes of the season are on the level of the first season though.

There's also the film TWIN PEAKS:FIRE WALK WITH ME that seems to divide people. Not enough of my namesake in it for my tastes.

That scene was particularly boring in comparison to the rest of the movie.

Disagree. That was one of my favorite parts.

I'm with Eraserhead. Brilliant scene. And fairly important for understanding the plot as well, imo.

Well there was no real 'plot', but yeah it was an important scene.

After my first viewing I had an interpretation of the plot that was fairly straightforward. Two more viewings have only reinforced that interpretation.

(and before anyone accuses me of smug pretentiousness, Lynch has said that the film has a plot and I think my interpretation is the standard one. I do take some pride in having come up with it independently though Cheesy)

The Last Detail

Hilarious and excellent. Still trying to figure out if the ending worked for me or not though.

Is it remarkably different from the dream interpretation?

Don't remember the last movie (I'm not much into the movies recently), but last thing I watched was an entire first season of Boss.

Is Kelsey Grammer Fred Thompson's twin or what?

Is it the one where one of the characters is a dream that the failed actress wishes she was?

If I had to say a plot, I would say that an actress arrives in L.A., meets an older actress, they get into a relationship and audition for the same movie and the older one becomes a success while the younger one fails. The older one then abandons the younger one who, in a fit of rage, orders the older one killed. But the older one survives and becomes amnesiac. The younger one commits suicide.

I don't think the older one (whom I never thought of as all that much older) survives.

My interpretation is essentially that the last part of the movie depicts reality whereas the first and main part of it is the blonde girl's attempt to deal with feelings of guilt, creating an alternate reality which is more palatable to her. A lot of the cool sort of side-stories fit very nicely into that.

The Hunger Games.

The last half hour was a load of sh**t, though I can see how it made sense to the plot. Still, a decent watch.

My biggest complaint after watching it was just how every action scene was shot. It was just that sort of "this is PG-13 but it still needs action so we're going to make sure you can't tell what the hell is going on, ever" philosophy of camera work.

It didn't really bother me that much.  They still showed the injuries.  I think they were just trying to go Cloverfield-manic.  The crap with the CGI beast dogs was baloney and that last fight scene made me feel like I was just watching Twilight.  It was 2 hours of Children of Men with half an hour of some CW show at the end.

Was the crowd particularly obnoxious, or was it as diverse as that Box Office Mojo report said (only about 60/40 female/male and a majority over 25)?

Just watched this too. I had some issues with it but, overall, I liked it quite a bit. It was more intense than I would have expected it to be. This and The Dark Knight kind of prove that you can get away with a lot of serious violence in a PG-13 movie these days as long as you use a lot of fast cuts when necessary.

Some dude (and I mean dude) chuckled with every kill.  It was kinda odd.

A Night to Remember, followed shortly thereafter by Titanic. Yeah, a Titanic marathon.

On a side note, the resemblances between Titanic and Twilight are rather disturbing and preoccupying.

What's disturbing is that you know enough about Twilight to compare things to it. Tongue

Anyway, my last film was Network. Amazing. And felt scarily modern.
