Sucker Punch

i like long-haired, nice, pretty neighborhood girl (sometimes with a skag problem) jena malone much more than short-haired, edgy, punk-rock jena malone.

other than that, best movie i've seen in the last decade.

That's probably the best compliment that movie has ever received. Most comments go along the lines of "Yeah, I had a boner, but everything else was shit".
 
I'm firmly in the "Suckerpunch was everything that's wrong with contemporary blockbuster films balled up into one heaping pile of trash" boat.
 
A Tale of Two Sisters

because it made F&Ts top 100 horror movies--thanks MrGrunge! and it stars the girl from I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK, su-jeong lim. i like her.

i didn't dislike the movie. it does a good job of being simultaneously confusing and creepy. sometimes the combo is overwhelming, at which points the movie successfully made me feel uncomfortable.
i was really surprised that the story is clear by the time the film ends. Suspiria meets The Sixth Sense meets The Ring meets The Shining meets 3 Women.

^ Right on, I really love that movie.

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

There were five different scenes in this that left me balled up in hysterical fits of laughter, I honestly can't remember laughing at a movie this hard. By the time it was over I was physically exhausted. I know Tim and Eric aren't everyone's cup of tea (over half of the audience walked out at its Sundance premiere), but I think they've tuned into a style of comedy that works for them. The whole movie is deliberately anti-Hollywood and just mocks all of the familiar Hollywood tropes, including the least-sexy sex scenes in all of film history (worse than any sex scenes from The Room). Reviewers claimed that it tended to drag in some spots, but I completely disagree. If you "get" T&E's brand of comedy, you'll love the movie from start to finish. Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and Will Forte (especially) give some of their funniest performances of their careers (imo).

I know it might seem hyperbolic to some, but Billion Dollar Movie is our new Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Seriously, I'd give it at least a 9/10.

The flowers of war, loved it.
 
^i turned that off, not for the graphic material, but the atrocious narration and absurd claims.
 
^Is that like another food documentary about how bad animals are treated in the food industry and what not?
 
yeah, apparently it's standard industry practise to jump on chickens to kill them, and pick up stray dogs to crush them in garbage trucks.

oh and you gotta love logical pearls such as [joaquin stoner voice]"why don't slaughterhouses have invisible walls? if they did, we'd all be vegetarians"[/joaquin stoner voice]

lol. That's funny I live in Hong Kong and if you go to an open air market you see butchers killing live chickens all the time. Does that stop me from going to a Cantonese restaurant and ordering roast chicken? Hell to the no.

I don't think it was meant to suggest that everything happening was standard practice, they even said that happenings in certain factories they showed were clearly in violation of standardized procedure. I lived on a small pig farm growing up and the treatment of the animals was nothing like this, but with however many millions of farms around the country and around the world it would take alot of naivety to assume these sorts of things dont happen on a daily basis and on a large scale.
 
it's hard to say, just like some stringy red meat. it was heavily prepared with heaps of onions and some kind of thick sauce. i actually asked her what the dish was, and she said after a pause "red meat... try it".

or perhaps it was a paws ;)

yeah, i got the impression the film was making such claims. animal cruelty is something that gets to me, however bullshitting about it does a greater disservice to the cause than not doing anything at all. i was looking to be informed, not put off my dinner by some vaguely relevant and much outright misleading snuff.

I've never eaten dog but my mother has. She said that her dad tricked her into eating it. Although she regretted eating it she said that it did smell really good. Like the best smelling dish she has ever encountered.
 
I've had so many dishes in my four trips to china, i could not possible compare them like that. i did refuse to eat tortoise, but only because it was served with the whole body on the plate. the visual put me right off.


onto topic, last night i watched "vanishing point". very 1971 film. cool style.
 
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys

that's the kind of jena malone i like. all fuckedup and suburban. i'd seen this movie once before. or most of it. and like 10 years ago when it came out. unfortunately i could remember the climax, and occasionally got caught up in waiting for and dreading it--instead of always staying with the film's pace.

despite comic book motif, it has less of a cult feel than i remembered. plays it safer than i remembered. not a classic in my book, but the movie is good. worth seeing. for more than just turn-of-the-century malone.
