I watched Clair Denis' Trouble Every Day in the wee hours this morning. Forgot how much I love Tricia Vessey and Vincent Gallo in this film. Definitely a strange one. Great soundtrack by The Tindersticks, too.

I just watched On The Waterfront and it's great. You can add it on that list Klin.

You deserve to be buttl-seksed by Zach for watching the remake. Just saying.

I recommended you that one ages ago, I think.

@Klin, make sure to watch the short version. Also, clear your inbox!

Thanks for the heads up. The one I have is 4 hours long and there's no chance in hell I have the energy for it today.

Is the "short version" 2 hrs 3 min long?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Don't worry.

Books, coffie and movies are the engine of enjoyment and relaxation.

You have a 4 hours one? WTF. The long ones is almost 3 hours and the short one 2 hours.

He meant 3h version and a porn.

It was a scam as it jams in the middle. I love you.

He'll never make the mistake of watching a remake first again, i promise you.

 

[Post Ironic]

I didn't mean it, you stud. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Well, maybe DP84.

 

[Klin]

Don't even mention his name.

Grand Budapest Hotel was great, though it made me feel stupid with the aspect ratio at the beginning.

I dread the day I awaken to the news that some Hollywood retard has decided to remake Stalker.

FIFY

Just out of curiosity, any big fan of Asian horror movies?

You thought you downloaded the wrong film?

Great, simple trick with the changing aspect ratio imo.

I've only seen a few. Ringu, Ju-On, Onibabaand Janghwa, Hongryeon...

And then Kim Ki-Duk... But his films aren't really horror.

 

[Osman]

Old film, but it was on TV during christmas. "Hook". Loved that film as a kid, so it was nice to watch it again.

Just wanted to share this scene, it's so funny

LOL it sure is, your clip reminded me of this, also classic:

Once i did a marathon for a week just watching their movies.

Anytime you feel like watching a horror movie you can't go wrong with Asian. They're the creepiest fuckers with the creepiest ideas in the genre. Then comes Hollywood and fucks it up with their remakes. Some off the top of my head:

A Tale of Two Sisters
Audition
Thirst
Shutter
Noroi

I guess all the talk in here got to me, gonna rewatch the original Alien

Only saw it once so far, when I was ~10 and it was on TV. Needless to say, it scared me shitless, gonna be interested how I find it now.

Great scene

 

[Ocelot]

Sooo, to be honest I didn't like Alien nearly as much as I thought I would, at least the second half of it. I find it degenerates more into a generic action/horror movie after the famous scene of the Alien's burst through Kane's chest. To be fair, some of that probably has something to do with sequences of other, later movies being in a large part inspired by this movie, but I just lost considerable amounts of interest through the latter part of it.

What I can only agree with however are the, especially for the time, amazing visual effects and set. The alien ship, and the cave underneath are just stunning, and I don't think it would even with modern technology be possible to make the facehugger look more realistic than it does here.

All in all I'm probably with PostIronic on this one, I don't love the film in particular, but it's defenitely among the Sci-Fi greats, and deserving of its place in movie history.
