What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Lisa]

Good to hear, Cass - that's another one on our list for us to see.

Blue Velvet

It's amazing the difference a few years can make to your perception of a film like this. What once seemed so nebulous and beguiling now feels a lot plainer. That's not meant as a put-down; I still really like it. It's just, Lynch's touch is a lot heavier than it used to be.

Star Trek IV on blu. Man. Make up/wigs look rrrrrrrrrrrrrreally bad. Forgot how many recycled TNG sets there were in this. Recycled FX too. Still had cool moments. Too much nudge-nudge cornball humor though.

You're talking about Undiscovered Country, right? Not Voyage Home?

[Nathan]

Shit! VI. Bad form.

[Ed Hocken]

What I enjoyed about VI was that Nick Meyer explicitly said this was a "Downfall of the Soviet Union story".

Meyer really should have gotten more work directing.

'True Grit' (2010). I liked it but didn't love it. I'm still processing WHY.

Meyer was a director who liked to butt heads, but he never helmed any BIG films.

Lack of box office push resulted in him getting pushed to the curb.

[Ed Hocken]

Ehhh, he still does screenwritting and rewrites to this very day.

So he's not starving or anything.

Yeah, he's still a writer. But, he's not directing.

The guy has a really fucked up history with projects and I side with the guy. He strives hard to create a better film and people shit on him for it.

Presnell and Paramount fought him over Khan and Undiscovered Country the entire time.

The Wicker Man remake

That was a bad idea.

A Film With Me In It.

A sometime actor in Ireland becomes afflicted by The Draids in the worst way, and Dylan Moran is the one to answer the call to help (and hinder) the situation. And to think, it all started with that damned clarinet.

Dark hearted humor and farce shape the film into something uniquely meta-textual in regards to the difficulty of film and filmmaking. And even if that is too esoteric for some, the film is engaging enough on a fundamental level.

It has been a while since I have laughed so hard at someone else's misfortunes.

[Bobby Bear]

Dylan Moran is an Irish treasure on par with Roy Keane and Andrea "The Hottest Corr" Corr.

[Matt]

The Wicker Man remake

That was a bad idea.

I bet you laughed your ass off.

[Ed Hocken]

Only at the scenes of extreme randomness. The rest of it was a massive WTF

Ellen Burstyn is much much MUCH better than this.
