What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Abraham Smashington]

I'd rather watch Sleepaway Camp.

[Ed Hocken]

A lot of people forget that The Crying Game is meant to be a thriller involving the IRA. Sadly, the pan down to that cock derailed the entire movie.

And the way they did that shot was meant to be an homage to Sleepaway Camp!

Speaking of Stephen Rea, dude was great in Citizen X.

I'd suggest The Crying Game but that movie dragged.

Agreed on Rea in Citizen X. And I'll raise you Jeffrey DeMunn. Fuck was he creepy.

[Ed Hocken]

The only hang up I had with Citizen X was that we know it's been about a decade since the start of the investigation. And yet, Rea's kids never aged.

Probably budgetary issues

[Captain Russ]

Niggling detail at best.

It's nothing to detract from the incredibly solid performances and seriously fucked up narrative. Plus, you can always read it as symbolic of the nightmare finally being over for Rea's character, and knowing that his and post-commie kids like his are finally safe.

Forgot to mention Donald Sutherland. Understated, but awesome as well.

Cruise was great in Vampire, granted I'm not a fan of Anne Rice. So I couldn't even know who would play whom.

But I had heard some good things about Daybreakers. Doc Happenin over at the other site gave a pretty good review.

I'll go one step further and say that I absolutely loathe Anne Rice, I have no idea how that bitch got so famous or wealthy with her library of long, boring-ass books. But movie-wise, I loved Pitt, Cruise, Dunst, and the whole wacky "Interview With A Vampire" gang! Seriously, there was a little cheese there, but overall, I thought it was a great movie.

Good to hear the love about "Daybreakers" - I do want to see that. I need to balance out the Twilight films with, y'know, REAL vampire stories. Scary ones, well written ones. My needs are simple with my vampire movies - be scary.

Currently watching Punch-Drunk Love. Is it wrong that a mental defect like myself can relate to Barry so well? Well, up to a point. But any time his sisters show up has to be one of the most emasculating moments in all of film. You wish, WISH he'd tell each and everyone one of them to fuck off.

Speaking of Rice, I've read her son's stuff, Christopher Rice. His first book is complete trash and it's great for that. The second one was garbage and the last three haven't been too bad. They are breezy airport reads. Check them out at the local library...but you don't have to take my word for it.

Dunna-Dun

Also, Paul Thomas Anderson usually films around the valley refers to numerous locations around the area in his films. The home address that Barry reads off is practically right down the road from me. We would be living in the same neighborhood.

[Captain Russ]

I can see on my worst days being a close relative of Barry, and at least he fucked their sliding glass door up good and proper.

Love Hoffman's sleazebag extortionist mattress king.

Wanted to echo the 'Citizen X' love. This film would have netted Oscar consideration for Rea, Sutherland, and Max Von Sydow if it had been released theatrically. I think it's one fo the best serial killer films ever made.

Best scene in the film? When Sutherland tells Rea's character about the fact that this case is being studied by a VERY admiring FBI. It's very emotional and powerful.

Citizen X is great indeed.

This weekend I watched:
Book of Eli- now I want to rewatch it. Goooood movie.
Father Goose- Cary Grant- great lighthearted flick.
9- watched it with my oldest. We both really liked it.

I am going to watch Night Watch tonight.

[Captain Russ]

Watched Outland while awaiting the tedious download manager at the Gnomon Werksherp.

Connery is the shit. Frances Sternhagen shares the "is the shit" crown.

I miss Peter Boyle almost as much as practical and in-camera optical effects.

On to one I've have yet to see (sadly): Three Days of the Condor.

[Nathan]

Outland! YES!!

[Captain Russ]

I may get shot in the face for saying this, but I like it more than it's source material (High Noon).
