Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

you're lucky. i bought both seasons on first release and there was a 2-3 year gap between releases in aus due to some legal bullshit. once you see the end of season 1 cliffhanger, you'll realise how torturous that wait was.

edit: oh shit i just remembered that i couldn't stand it past the first couple of years and dloaded the second season before eventually buying it.
 
Criterion Collection DVDs and Blu-rays go "out of print"? what the fuck? they just stop selling some of their DVDs? So if i do not buy Vivre sa vie and Bande a part now, I will have to buy them at some ridiculous price off of an Amazon seller when and if I do decide I need them? Fuck if I'll be playing that game. What the hell is their problem?

because it is out of print, buying A Woman is a Woman off Amazon is $52-$87. Cool, Criterion.
 
^what rubbish!

piracy becomes perfectly justified when they make it so abundantly clear that they don't want the business.
 
watched "Watership Down" last night.

pretty realistic cartoon movie about rabbits. what the world would be like if we were all rabbits. the best way to describe it is, grab some cute rabbits and throw Hitler and WW2 in the mix.
not a kid movie.. (even though it has rabbits).
 
it was a really good movie, i wished that i read the book first.

i'm re-reading "Breaking Dawn" again so i'll be ready for the movie :).
 
so hulu plus has teamed up with criterion and will have 800 titles available for streaming (with special features like commentary) by the end of the year. wont be in hd though. i could have sworn i saw them bashing netflix somewhere but i cant find that now. something about how everything on netflix changes all the time.
heres the announcement

^I won't be switching, but thank god. Netflix is in desperate need of some real competition. While their selection and efficient system is too great for me to give up, that company is a dick. during a time they were making changes to the structure of their site, they were getting so many customer complaints by email that they just decided not to have an email address anymore. They still dont, because they really just don't give a shit what a customer has to say; they have plenty of 'em and more everyday. While it is not common and they have thousands and thousands of instant play titles, it is not extremely rare to find a movie that is either in the wrong aspect ratio--like showing black bars on the sides of my widescreen even though the movie was originally in 1.85: 1, Mulholland Dr. for example--or a different movie of the same title, like The Stranger.

But at the same time their selection is amazing and actually is growing, their DVDs (and blu-rays!) are in good condition, and when it comes to issues with lost or broken dvds they give you every benefit of the doubt and are damn quick about making it right. if you are honest and just admit you lost it, only $10 and when you find it up to a year later (I always do) you can just throw it in with whatever dvds you are returns and they quickly refund your $10. damn respectful.
 
George Clooney is currently directing a movie starring Ryan Gosling. And in it, Ryan Gosling's character rents a car from Avis.

My friend runs the avis store they chose to shoot at, and they just decided to use the actual avis guy, my friend!

so assuming this doesnt hit the cutting room floor (it might, renting a car sounds more like a continuity scene that an essential piece of the story), my buddy will be in this movie. either way, he did a scene directed by clooney with a big name actor. obviously met them both.

redbox is planning on offering a streaming movie service by the end of the year as well.
 
dude, what the fuck is up with the audio for The Tenant? Is it a bi-lingual movie, and it is just not an option to watch it that way on the DVD?

Ya, Fat kid is defo from the Goonies; like Hydro and AmoRoark mentioned.
Also spotted: Rocky Horror Picture show, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and This is Spinal Tap.;)

Who's the Cowboy-esque figure in the Green Cap(wouldn't be a young Steve Martin by any chance c. The Jerk?) ...and the Grey, Transvestite- looking character (top- left of 'The Dude'), who is that???

More Qwe!!!! :D

I'm watching Twin Peaks for the first time. Just finished the pilot--which felt as long as a movie. I'm very excited.

Do you have the american dvd? Didn't have any problems with it, but I watched it in French. You have the option of watching it in English too, but in my memory you can't watch it with the two languages on.

how wasn't that a problem for you? so either way, you have to watch some of the movie with the original dialogue dubbed over? i mean, they are speaking two languages right? the characters? they use both english and french in different scenes of the movie? that's part of the story? i'm so confused, it does not say anywhere online, and how could you not care?


im about to have a fucking panic attack over this. it's like when i lose something and it's just gone. how are people on the internet not talking about this? am i batshit crazy? whatthefuck language(s) was the movie filmed in?


edit: Like Contempt! That is what i am asking. is it filmed like Contempt? where characters are actually speaking different languages in the movie? that's what it felt like, because neither audio option seemed right at all times. if it is filmed like Contempt, who thought DVD buyers would want the movie forced into one language, without the option of seeing it how it was supposed to be? if those characters are switching languages or some characters only speak certain languages or whatfuckingever, it is part of the plot, part of the story, part of the movie. plus, obviously we want to hear the film's original soundtrack, especially the original dialogue track.

The Tenant is a special movie which was filmed in both English and French, with Polanski and the other american actors speaking English, and the french actors speaking French.

For me it's a French film, filmed in Paris, and Polanski, who is fluent in French, dubbed his caracter in French in the post-production. For me it's a film called Le Locataire, not The Tenant.

The rest doesn't interest me, sorry to say that.

edit: for example, Jo Van Fleet who plays a typical french concierge (Madame Dioz), do you think it would be logical to hear her speak in English? I think not.

^I think it is a french film for everyone. anyway, Polanski probably had a reason for filming it the way he did. and as he filmed it that way, it's probably the way he wanted it to be seen. it's certainly the way i want to see it. whatever. hopefully criterion does a release. it was a cool movie.

edit:
i've since learned about and made my peace with this being how older foreign horror movies were made.

I just saw an early 60s interview with Anna Karina. First time i've seen her out of character, as herself. I was very nervous to watch it, but of course had no reason to be. She was down to earth and presented herself very well. As adorable as the characters she plays. the end of the interview was sad though. but don't worry, Anna, the world respects you now. You are Nouvelle Vague.
 
^ Did you see her interview in the nineties with Godard? (on french TV). She was crying... so sad. Beautiful interview.
