Film What's the Last Film You Saw? v. Tell Us What You Thought!

aw The Monk last Saturday and Life After Porn last night for a documentary movie.
 
I saw a few seconds from the clip below from “Snowpiercer” used on The Colbert Report as a punchline to a political joke Steven Colbert was making. It was obvious from the stunned response to it that the audience was both largely unfamiliar with the reference and taken aback by the potency of Tilda Swinton's delivery – as was I.

Having been compelled to seek it out I can appreciate why Steven gave it the “Colbert bump.” “Snowpiercer” is destined to become a cult classic in the spirit of “1984” and “Brazil.”

In a future ravaged by the effects of climate change humanity seeks to curb rising temperatures by seeding the atmosphere with a novel chemical that inadvertently plunges the world into a life-extinguishing ice age. The lone survivors – including wealthy ticket-holders and those able to force their way on – are inside the Snowpiercer, a luxury train fortified to continue its trans-global trek through the wastes as an enclosed ecosystem. Aboard this “rattling ark,” a rigid class system emerges.

I may have just described a plot whose central conceit strains credulity, but what a conceit it is! Korean director Joon-Ho Bong (“The Host”) crafts the unlikely setting into a surprisingly effective allegory for revolution in an oligarchical society. If you can suspend disbelief and get past its slightly over-long running time you'll be rewarded.

Currently the film can be seen in theaters in limited release or rented online at a premium. If you download it instead be sure to also install the Korean subtitle file. There's not much foreign dialog but you'll want a translation for what there is.

In this clip passengers from the tail section have put up resistance to the wishes of the authority established aboard the train. The screaming man has had his bare arm fastened outside in the frigid wind in order to freeze it, thereby making him an example to the others.

Under the Skin

best role for scarlett johansson since charlotte. i'm a big fan of sirens. the movie is pretty good. a little slow and certainly not bright. the plot feels like that of a short film.


The Deflowering of Eva Van End

needed a lighter tone. not a bad movie, but too serious and too dark in conveying a pretty basic moral about envy. reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite and Little Miss Sunshine. with a little Happiness.

i got completely turned off from jim jarmusch after seeing broken flowers in cinema years ago, but on the prompting of a good mate, watched his successive films "the limits of control" and "only lovers left alive". suffice it to say all is forgiven. i haven't enjoyed fine cinema like that in years.

no deal. my attitude toward film is shifting. i've spent too much of my 20s paging through netflix. can only discover nouvelle vague once. the best in life is over. now i'll take what's easy.

i keep hearing great things about this film. is it cinema worthy? or would be just as enjoyable watching at home?

ive heard some scenes are quite graphic and that scarlett johansson plays an excellent role and the level of terror she is able to portray is quite remarkable.

The Unspeakable Act. 17 year old Jackie is horrified as her older brother gets ready for college and starts getting girlfriends, because she's in love with him. For a movie about 'the unspeakable act' - Jackie talks about it constantly. It's interesting how the other family members gloss over her statements. she doesn't hide that she wants to fuck her brother - its everyone else trying to make it seem as harmless as possible. Because this doesn't happen in families like ours. But it does, and it always happens in families like this, these weirdly isolated "gifted & talented" in the outskirts of portland oregon white people, and this is how we deal with it. A movie about incest that isn't creepy or designed to make people uncomfortable.

i ADORE american history and last night watched "hatfields and mccoys" . i have to revisit it this evening as in true form i fell asleep before it had fully ended. an amazing showcase of an historical battle between two families that still continues/tells the tale to this very day. well and truly worth the watch if you appreciate historical documentaries/portrayals.

History is so much cooler than they made it out to be in school. That should be one of the most interesting classes in school, but they present the material in such a dull way.

I've heard good things about that miniseries, but haven't seen it
 
im with you 100% carl. history in school sucked ass until my final year where "political history" was an elective. that class was amazing.

and youll really have to make time for that mini series, its honestly one of the best ive watched in a long time. please be patient with the first part as it can come across as a little slow, with very little happening but by the second installment it all starts coming together and has you glued to the screen. i cant recommend watching this enough. i was so impressed that i ordered the dvd. its one youd wanna keep and revisit.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it, it kept me on the edge of my seat from the start to finish.

^ Edit, this was about the movie 'Lucy'

Gone Girl was excellent and worth checking out in the theater


Edit:
Morning after. Movie was great. Heard it followed the book well. Might have to check that book out. Fincher continues to deliver high quality work. There was also a surprising amount of humor in the film. I was in a packed theater and there were a few times the whole place was laughing.

"5th anniversary is wood. There's nothing good to give."

"Why don't you go home, fuck her brains out, pull out your dick and slap her in the face with it. There's some wood for ya, bitch"
