Movie of the year

Post by Tom »

Before sunset.

I love movies that break conventions. An entire movie based upon 2 people's conversation strolling through Paris. No classic beginning/middle/end. They are both amazing actors.

I love Julie Delpy's Nina Simone impersonation at the end.....what a great ending to a great film.

Julie Delpy is sexy as all hell. And Ethan Hawke...sigh. Ever since Dead Poets Society I've waited for him to declare his undying love for me.

I haven't been going as much to the cin, because it costs $10.50 even during the day, there is no discounted shows so I have been reading and renting music DVD's and weird little films like Gone to Coney Island on a mission from God be back 5 from Kim's Video- Kim's sells music and movies and are soret of like Scarecrow-- they also sell the dual DVD players that play all DVD's UK and USA and France and all over the world and all films ever made so I bought one of those and have seen loads of only UK and France released jewels.

I got Spacemen 3 and Galaxie 500 DVD's now.

I haven't seen it either, though I think maybe I should. I haven't seen many movies lately, paradoxically because I've been working alot lately...and the company I work for tests movie previews, so their work is keeping me from actually seeing the movies. Plus, Mccutcheon isn't here in Seattle being a bad influence on me and convincing me to go to the movies with him in the afternoon a couple of days a week. I don't tend to go as often if I'm going alone.

So, the point is, I need to make a point of seeing more movies again, because I miss it.

Surely Jansch didn't do a song called Needle of Death - much too goth and metal sounding a song title for Jansch, surely! Ha ha.

Funny you should mention the whole mash up phenomenon -
I could have sworn my roommate was playing one tonight of Mamas & Papas California Dreaming with some dance beat techno underneath it. Or maybe I just made that up in my head, I don't know for sure. I couldn't hear it too well, but it kindof captivated my imagination, the idea.

Morrissey's song "Boxers" sounds closer to the Smiths than anything I've ever heard Morrissey do.

New Order's "Cries & Whispers" rules. I went to see that film once (I believe it's an Ingmar Bergman film?). It was okay, but not as good as the song.

Mash this

Post by Tom »

I'm currently in the studio producing a mash up to end all mash up's.

It's a sample accapella from Donny and Marie..."a little bit country" over the guitar from Led Zeppelin's 'stairway to heaven" with the bass and drum from "cotton-eyed joe"...

"I'm a lil bit..(WHERE DID YA COME FROM?") country..she's a little bit (COTTON EYE) country (COTTON EYE) country (COTTON EYE)

bass pounds....builds...lifts-breaks -cut to-

"and she's buuuuyyyying a stairway...tooooooooooooo(reverb with a britney spearish voice modulation)

"Where did ya come froooooommmmmmmmmmmm-from-from-from-from......fade out/fade in "country eyed country joe!!!"

I'm going to play it this Wednesday night with Cutch

Wish I could hear those songs Tom, they sound good.

And McC, I haven't been called a twerp since like 1987. Old school insults, cutting edge on PA

I thought you might have found a way to make bad music better. Thats a service for humanity.

Oh well, I guess some music will never be good.

worst of the year

Post by martino »

nobody said whether this thread is supposed to be about the best movie of the year, or the worst movie of the year, so here i go, on the latter...

the worst movie i saw (and it's only august, for chrissakes) was van trier's Dogville.

jeez, that was a stinker. somebody wrote that the question about Dogville was not whether the movie was anti-american -- the real question was whether Dogville was anti-people. i'd answer that question with a simple "yes".

when you consider the super-cool cast involved (including lauren bacall, ben gazarra, stellan skarsgard, nicole kidman, james caan) you might call it the greatest waste of talent ever.

over here, Dogville was a magnet for anti-american pretentious self-righteous types, like Dogshit is a magnet for... well, i'll leave that one up to your imagination.


the other worst movie of the year for me was actually made in 2002 but it took 2 years to cross the pond: larry clark's Ken Pond. since i just saw it yesterday it qualifies for my worst list (meaning, worst movies i saw this year) for sure.

larry clark manages to make teen pornography look unattractive, which is some mean feat. you wouldn't believe this guy: here is an episodic movie about kids in LA who screw and suck and scateboard all day, and after about 20 minutes i had to fight an overpowering urge to leave the movie house.

just thinking about these two movies makes me want to consider doing something drastic, like buying a tv set.
