I'm no James Wan advocate - most of his movies are bad. But he's at his worst with big budgets. I'd rank him slightly higher than Rob Zombie when it comes to horror - at least they're more original.

I'd be totally okay with more retarded Saw sequels, they're miles better than those super vanilla spooky films along the lines of Conjuring, Nun etc. Those films are for little girls

Re: Latest movie you watched (1-10 scale)
saw dune 2 in the imax last night. I think im going through the exact same set of impressions that i had with the first except more extreme. The scale and visual language is more ambitious in every sense but the quality of its writing seems to have regressed a little more. It's full of so many jaw dropping moments and then when characters have to talk to each other it kinda hates itself. Denis villeneuve really does just want to do pure dialogue free cinema
Still loved watching it and soaking it in! 10 skulls i guess

fuck you Ross, I bet you haven't even seen Jodorowsky's Dune
Death Wish 3 - 6.5/10
Laughably stupid, but Bronson has great screen presence and it's got plenty of violence and explosions. It's like a cheaper shittier version of Dirty Harry.
I am a Hero - 6.5/10
Doesn't do any really new things with the Zombie genre; among else, it turns into Dawn of the Dead infused with Walking Dead's distrust of human nature and hirarchies half way through. It also should have been a bit shorter, plus there were too many CGI gore effects. The Zombies were pretty disgusting, though, and some scenes were pretty tense.

get real! that documentary was great. if you were a more dedicated denizen of this board you would know that I said "It's basically flawless for what it is." on April 5, 2014 - in this very thread!
watching that doc and sincerely thinking his Dune would have been any good = viewer has critical thinking deficiencies

Re: Latest movie you watched (1-10 scale)
I'm planning on an IMAX viewing of Dune 2, but prob not for a little while, unfortunately.
I read Dune when I sublet an apartment over a bar in a college town (not old enough to drink tho). One of my roommates was a rich Saudi Arabian girl who told me it was based on the middle east, and spice was analogous to oil. It made complete sense, but hadn't crossed my mind before... I had only seen the David Lynch flick at a young age. I thought the book was great at the time, but the sequel books seemed impervious to me.
Deadbeat at Dawn ('88 | 81min) - 10/10 - (again) no notes.

I'm sure to no one's surprise: I think it would have been amazing - but when I put on a Jodorowski flick, it's not because I want to watch a movie.Necrometer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 10:19 pm and if anyone says "the Jodorowsky version would have been amazing" in earnest, you know they are not a reliable person

Re: Latest movie you watched (1-10 scale)
Man they could have cut every bit of the Zendaya dialogue out and nothing of value would have been lost. In fact the entire films dialogue felt like it had been translated from English to French and back again. The sheer amount of mangled/rewritten lines that amounted to poor fan service was pretty distracting. Same with the overwhelming girl-power insertion.
Costume design was amazing, except the smugglers all looked like Halo troops and the final battle has the fremen looking like modern French foreign legion, save that you'd never have a kevlar bomb collar along w a mostly open bump-cap style helmet. Reminded me of how Raffaella wanted to use a duck hunting boot that they had been able to get cheap. David Lynch took one look at them and said 'Those are duck hunting boots and people are going to be able to tell what they are.'

Re: Latest movie you watched (1-10 scale)
Dune 2 - 6/10 flawless in many ways, but such a fuckin slog for me personally. my imax showing had this incessant, semi-random rattle sound coming from behind the screen - that sure didn’t help. there’s one element that was so wild in the lynch version and was almost totally gone from these movies… it’s such a bummer. there’s this reflective ship shot that is absolutely mind-blowing. and i loved the stilgar comedic moments.

Re: Latest movie you watched (1-10 scale)
Lynch's Dune was imprinted on my brain having seen it in the theater when I was 8. I know it's very flawed - but through my eyes, it's absolutely perfect in every way, similar to how I think of other movies of that era, like Tron, Blade Runner, and Flash Gordon. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, I guess. But my failure to re-contextualize the movie before someone told me it was based on middle eastern oil is a failure of the educational system. Any criticisms directed at me about that should be taken up with New York State - please visit ny.gov to file a complaint.

The French should never allowed to direct films presented in English, at best they should only be given the Director of Photography position.

The Blade - 8 - Tsui Hark's solid revisionist wuxia flick that's pretty much a hyper stylized One Armed Swordsman redux.
Cats On Park Avenue - 7.5 - best cat movie ever probably
Her Vengeance - 7.5 - Nice ultra violent grimey Cat 3 rape revenge flick with a great final battle and Lam Ching Ying doing wheelchair kung fu.
