Films Recently Watched

Legend, well its better than all that Guy Ritchie wank and it does a very British kind of psychopath like i havent seen for a while,

who the fuck knows with 60's gang bollix, but pretty good fun & the 1 particular pub fight scene is dark funny

star wars 7 - pure joy. i don't care about the minor flaws or the fact that it's basically a new hope all over again. i've never felt happier walking out of a movie theater. just so, so fucking awesome.

steve jobs - meh.

the martian - slightly underwhelmed by this. still though, 7/10

hey, any of you nice people on letterboxd? i need more decent people to follow there...

Star wars, wasn't bad.

Over the weekend I also watched Ace in the Hole (great, a classic) and Champion (mildly diverting boxing picture) in honour of Kirk Douglas, who turned 99 the other week.

Love that film.

I watched:

Dude Bro Party Massacre III - Patton Oswalt/10

i watched "mahler" by ken russell. it was excellent. i love ken russell. he's sort of a genius. a campy, over the top genius.

i watched "raw meat" (aka "death line"). it was pretty good with a surpringsingly dark atmosphere for a british film from 1972. great soundtrack too. good use of synth.

i watched john frankenheimer's "seconds". i loved it. absolutely brilliant. it had some of the greatest cinematography i've seen. eye candy of the highest order.

Re-watched "Au bord du monde" by Claus Drexel, a magnificent documentary portraiting some homeless people living in Paris.

Couldn't seem to find an english extract but it's really worth watching.

Blue Velvet is good, Wild at Heart is one of Nic Cage's best

isnt Eraserhead partially about the mood of the times he lived in Philadelphia?

caught in an interview somewhere

New Star Wars. good/10

Watched Eraserhead for the first time. My mind is incredibly numb. I have absolutely no idea what happened.

...

(also bought the soundtrack - In Heaven is such a good song <3)

 

Also, what Lynch should I watch next? I've been meaning to catch up on classics and stuff because I don't watch many movies. Heard Blue Velvet and Elephant Man are good :o

"elephant man" is one of my favourites, but it's pretty different from everything else lynch has done. it's fantastic nonetheless.

I am, whats your user/page?

just watched The Martian, aside from the odd bit of bad sciencing and bad songs here and there it was really good.

If you're into series, you could watch twin peaks as well.

it's good lynchism.

True that Elephant man is pretty unique in the direction he took with it, i find it a damn good film.

I can also recommend you Sailor and Lula, with N. Cage doing some Elvis Presley perfs

Predestination. okay but gross/10

Ha! I liked it.
