MOVIES

[TPD]

Speaking of which, I just saw Catfish. Another one of those IS IT A DOCUMENTARY? IS IT NOT? I DUNNO! type of films.
Well worth a look.

I heard positive things about that movie.

Also, I really can't get over your avatar!

It's Derek/tae

He's the guy in the hat that applied for an obscure job working in paper mache...also think he got yelled at by mbw at some point too

oh, really?? 
thats too funny.

teeps, i saw catfish,
CRAZY MOVIE. I think its real, honestly,
but with movies like that you can never be sure.

[r00]

hmmmm  Catfish?  Sounds like I need to check this out.

I watched eXistenZ last weekend.  Good for anyone who ever thought, "You know what I wanted from The Matrix?  A better lead actor.  Nauseating pseudo-sexual imagery.  Bio-horror."

New and previously unimagined taste sensations:

[TPD]

yea, i saw that about 15 years ago or so... really enjoyed it.
i like cronenberg's weirdness.

Blockbuster is closing a bunch of locations here, got a blu ray and a dvd for $5 total! Going to stop at the one by my house on the way home and see if there's anything else interesting

[doom]

yeah, its sad they're closing but the deals are AWESOME.
one by me if even selling a microwave for 15 bucks. haha.

I got a movie called 2 days in Paris there and really liked it.


also, eXistenZ ruled.
and r00, check Catfish out, its weird...but really revealing/enlightening in a sense.

I used to watch a lot of Cronenberg, but after the awesome indie video store in my town (with its totally badass Cult section) shut down I haven't been able to seen nearly as much. I don't think I realized eXistenZ even was a Cronenberg film until a few years ago.

Green with Envy: from the trailer, it looks like the best RomCom ever.

I've watched Blue Valentine twice this weekend.

The whole feel of the movie just feels so fresh and well done.
The soundtrack is also really good.

Tree of Life.

Possibly one of the most beautiful movies i've ever seen, with a plot that practically doesn't exist.

[r00]

I heard Tree of Life was awful, but then again that review came from someone that probably gives 4 stars to a Michael Bay flick.

I watched Catfish over the weekend and loved it.  (Thanks for the heads up!).  It is funny to see the new facebook generation discover things that anyone who has been online previously already knew.  [spoiler]OMG YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE ONLINE ARE NOT REALLY WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE?  YOU MEAN THAT HOT YOUNG CHICK I CYBERTEXT WITH COULD REALLY BE SOMEONE ELSE?  WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING!  hahahaha  Not much of a shocking revelation for most of us here, but it is entertaining as hell to watch these naive individuals discover it for themselves. [/spoiler]

[doom]

Tree of Life is artsy-fartsy as FUCK. I don't know how else to put it, but once you sift through some of that nonsense, theres some good film in there. It LOOKS gorgeous, great camera shots, lighting, Brad Pitt does a great job,etc., but its not really a movie I'd want to see over and over again.

I can't RAVE over it, and I mean it is Terrence Mallick, but at least the film is presenting something that feels fresh, though its probably not for everyone.

[kristin]

eXistenZ is one of my fav. cronenberg flicks (though I do love me some Dead Ringers)

[r00]

Dead Ringers is one of those that I could never manage to watch again.  It creeped me the hell out.
