A few films recently watched.

Hugo

 

What a fucking piece of dogshit. This is seriously the shittiest fucking film Ive seen in years what the FUCK how did this win anything? How was it nominated? How was it made by the same man that made the Departed, Goodfellas, and Raging Bull? Its like a third-rate children's story told by a man with severe ADHD and shitty special effects.

 

I understand Scorsese wanted to talk about something near and dear to his heart, but make a fucking documentary without the unnecessary bullshit setup.

 

Goddamn this movie made me so fucking angry.

oh yeah forgot my score

 

-13775638457665/1

lol, agreed. It would have been nice if he just told the story straight, without all excess steam, gears, eyes tinted artificially blue etc. But he has such a taste for the maudlin and sentimental (for ref, all the drawn-out shots of the girl and boy making faces at each other, looking longingly, etc) that it seems he wouldn't have any ability to tell the story straight, even if he wanted to.

 

I thought the movie got better the further it went along. I actually switched if off twice near the start, but my gf wanted to continue so...

I didn't get Hugo either, and i don't understand why a kid would want to see Hugo, kids these days are more advance than 1050's kids but this movie had nothing to offer them. My theory is that Martin Scoorcesee wanted to make a movie about movies just to show it to his movie friends, and critics love it because it was about movies.

the movie should have ended with Ben Kingsley telling Hugo he really did burn the notebook. End.

 

 

Fantastic, soul-crushing short film.

I'm glad you guys are reinforcing my gut reaction to Hugo. I thought I was being too grinchy and maybe just didn't like the 3D. It turns out it really was boring after all?

it wasn't just boring, it was a badly made film/narrative/plot/acting/setting/sfx/camerawork. Utter, utter fucking tripe.

 

I now owe Netflix some money because I ended up destroying the DVD with a hammer and barbeque lighter.

no blade of grass - the kind of flick where the acting is off, the directing is off, the music is off (the theme song was waaat) and dialogue is dumb but all in all it never really bothers you enough to turn it off because it's kinda hilarious. it gets kinda confusing when it turns into what looks like a monty python-ish first world war movie an hour into it, though. or mad max on bikes ten minutes after that. but then again it gets confusing a lot, so maybe that's the thing. it follow a straight story for an hour and then it kinda implodes into 20 diferent movies going on at once. there's even a guy who gets shot in the nose from the side so it pierces it (but not through, weird) and dies. then some other guy drives a motorbike into a stone and the stone explodes. there's so much going on. someone else watch it and explain it to me.

now I hate Hugo even more. Thanks for nothing kinski

let me make it up to you by playing the theme of no blade of grass

LOL yeah we real cool now!!!

ive watched it and i still can't explain it to you, it reminds me of some of the more bizarre non character narrative based parts of Dawn of the Dead or the original Crazies but even more incoherent and low budget, still enjoyed it though

Possession....... ummmm, 8/10

Team America - funniest thing I've ever seen/10

Chappaqua - William Burroughs + Ornette Coleman + Ravi Shankar/10

Just finished watching and I did not enjoy it very much. Mostly due to it being a lot like the film 'Super', which is much better and a lot more funny. Bobcat has the Todd Solondz/Terry Zwigoff/John Waters thing down but the only strong point of the film is the lead actress. Bill Murray's brother is pretty unconvincing. The film if filled with attempted shocks for the sake of shock but with a candy covering. The film is poorly executed and amateurish. Other folks might enjoy this film for its simplicity but it is not a strong film. I would suggest watching 'Super' instead and avoiding this. 5/10
