watched jodorowsky's santa sangre the other day for the first time. absolutely brilliant, it's a like a mexican surrealist version of psycho.
watch Love and Death, and admit your error.
Isn't Jodorowsky from Chile though? Sorry to be pedantic.
Oh, yeah, could be, I'll shut up."yeah but the film is set in mexico... I think."
My copyy of that wouldn't work properly, shame 'cause I'd like to see it."A Bergman horror film (!); most intense pole-fishing scene in cinematic history"
Never heard of it but it looks interesting. Would like to see it."has anyone seen this? been considering getting the dvd since seeing the youtube clips, Meredith Monk thing, I really like this sequence but I could see a whole film could be odd in a pretentious way."
In a Lonely Place is a fantastic noir where you don't know - right up to the end - whether or not the main character, played by Bogey, is a bad guy. Well, he's quite bad all the way through but is he a murderer? Think there was a different ending planned or something and maybe even shot I dunno."has anyone seen nicholas ray's films besides Rebel Without a Cause? was bowled over by that and have read up a tiny bit on the director"
^ Ride the Whirlwind is a must if you are obsessive about Nicholson and/or Harry Dean Stanton (i am borderline)
been really into films set in Texas lately
Hud, starring Paul Newman as a very hard to like antihero but he's got tons of charisma. interesting to hear about folk resisting punching holes into the land for oil in light of the BP fiasco --- that sort of connection to the land/earth is loooooooong gone now.
finally saw Last Picture Show last night due to someone mentioning it a couple pages back
Cybill Shepherd - whoa. excellent film.
tangent:

godard: "If the cinema no longer existed, Nicholas Ray alone gives the impression of being capable of reinventing it, and what is more, of wanting to."
