So you've never seen The Gestapo's Last Orgy?

 

[IdleRich]

yeah i don't think so. i hardly watched any films between about 2003 and about 2021. wasn't interested at all, had no respect for it. only really got interested coz i liked a lot of the video art i saw in galleries. don't think i've seen a german one before.

Well, fair enough. Fassbinder is a good place to start.

Faster pussycat kil kill. Incredible film. Cant believe i never saw it before. Def not what i thought a russ meyer film to be. Still, even despite its silly, campy bits, felt really fresh, taut and raw. Something really immediate about that kind of exploitation or underground cinema of that period.

[luka]

a Decepticon just took out an imperialist US army base which is great cos i hate America even though I have the utmost respect for individual Americans such as Leo and Ian Champion.

Nobody who is, say, charmingly quixotic in a quaint californian way?

Zac Efron?

 

[luka]

the US military hardware looks super cool

 

[Clinamenic]

You silly goose I'm trying to get you to say me!

 

[luka]

Oh! You Stan! How could I have forgotten! have you seen this film? he's wearing a Strokes t-shirt lol

 

[woops]

agree particularly dislike the scooby doo voice it has

 

[luka]

yeah, it's easily the worst part of the movie so far but dont be disheartened its overall pretty good

 

[luka]

it undermines the seriousness of the film and makes it seem like a kids cartoon grave misstep.

@0bleak have you seen transformers?the main sexy girl is always glistening with sweat? oil? dew?

 

[0bleak]

hahah, yeah - is there such a thing as a visual onomatopoeia - there must be!
