What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ed Hocken]

Watched the original House of Cards yesterday.

Vin, I got something for you to take a look at.

[B_Metal]

and here I thought that Wahlberg SUCKED in it.

GAWDAMNIT MATT WHAT THE FUCK?!?! DO YOU HATE JOY?

[Ed Hocken]

I'd like The Other Guys more if it was a bit shorter and gave Michael Keaton more stuff to do than have the one-note joke of quoting TLC songs.

[B_Metal]

Yeah you could tell Keaton was enjoying himself and I could have used more. But the TLC shit was pretty funny.

[Bobby Bear]

Its comparable to Lynch's Dune in that sense, though I'd say Coppola's film is 'better'. They both have the absolute peak of physical craftsmanship on display, tackling a tricksy story structure, failing, but with too much ambition on display to write-off.

A beautiful point beautifully made.

Regarding 'BS's Dracula':
- Keanu Reeves isn't just BAD, he's AMAZINGLY BAD. Laughably BAD. It's amazing that he ever found work after this.
- Anthony Hopkins is in full-on ham mode. He treats the film like a farce.

It's gorgeous but feels poorly planned out...the first two acts are a complete mess in terms of structure and tone. It only starts to gel in the third act when it becomes a full-fledged vampire hunt.

I find that if I watch it through the prism of Ted Theodore Logan fightin' Drakoolyah, the uneven result is much less jarring.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

The "universe" feels much more dreamlike at times than I remembered (outside of the actual dream sequences, of course.) The sheer brightness outside the Church for example.

There's also much to dig about the O.T.T schoolyard chant score. And I still love the "dream expert" from the "dream clinic" who doesn't really know thing one about dreams.

X-Men First Class: I will say this, I was skeptical and wanted to nit pick, but once you know who said

  Spoiler: SPURLUR 

Get the fuck out of here.

I was with it. Not great but it was entertaining.

[Matt]

One of the best uses of the one-shot PG-13 FUCK that I've ever seen. That scene absolutely KILLED in my theater.

[B_Metal]

It killed in my "theater" too.

[Jan]

Animal Kingdom.

Wow. Now that is a movie I did not expect it to blow me away like it did. I expected something way more of a traditional crime movie. So not the case. So much dread. So much despicable characters that charm themselves into your brain over the course of the running time.

I have to digest this one - and watch it again very soon.

In Bruges

Pretty great. Colin reminded me of Pitt in 12 Monkeys with his mannerisms. The shit with the dwarf was fucking great. But goddamn what a schizo movie in terms of tone. Was chilling with Baltar laughing my ass off, then BLAMMO, then back to laughing, then BLAMMO, then back to laughing, then KERBLAMMO.

Gleeson was great but I was quite surprised with Colin. Totes worth the 8 bucks on blu.

Also, I'm going to sell this movie to Ceej by saying: "British crime flick with Voldemort and Mad Eye Moody". He'll see it for sure because of that.

[B_Metal]

Knew you'd dig it man. Really awesome flick.

[Abraham Smashington]

I honestly wish we had more of Fiennes though. The constant look of "RAGE" on his face was fucking hilarious.
