I remember it as total bollocks. Hopper has created his character as the more level-headed one but it's totally undercut by his wild-eyed totally coked up demeanour. Less fun than I'm making it sound.

The scene where they force the night watchman to drink the full bottle of acid is the stuff of nightmares.

Darned cockwombles.
Atlantics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantics is pretty good. Sort of interesting in terms of mashing up genres/styles in an original way. Kinda gets a bit boring once you've figured it out though. Has anyone watched any of the films made by her grandfather? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djibril_Diop_Mambéty I might have a go with them. There's a kodwo eshun lecture all about this film of his https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyenas_(1992_film)

I was gonna watch that this week after seeing the trailer and an interview with the director. Still will, sounds like it's worth it.

Yeah that was horrible

The whole thing is like a nightmare tbh

I dunno what it all amounted to ultimately but it was "a helluva ride"

Definitely going to see that

I watched the Meyerowitz Stories last night which I felt ambivalent about but it had some great stuff in it and principal among those great stuffs was Adam Sandler.

I rewatched Bringing Out the Dead last night, Scorsese at his most frenetic. Ving Rhames steals the show.

never seen it, but might give it a go.

watched climax by gaspar noe the other day. pretty good for about 40 mins, then descends pretty predictably. but i'd still recommend it. there's a great sequence where two very alpha dudes are talking about shagging and it's really gross out.

did anyone see 1917? i normally don't really like war movies but this one was quite okay i think. this "one-shot" technique actually adds something to the experience. anyway, what made me like the movie especially was one scene in particular. i wouldn't have mind if they would have stretched out that scene into half an hour. it's the bit where the guy crosses the bridge and finds himself in a little town or city completely in rubble, just ruins of buildings left. it's night and the only light comes from fires and flares that are continually shot in the air. the silhouettes of tore down buildings and these flares slowly falling down creates wonderful shadows, the ones that come and go real fast, the ones that start out as looooooong shadows but become increasingly shorter as the flares fall down. it looks like hell. but aesthetically it's beautiful.
