Film chat (5 Viewers)

I'm reserving judgement till i've seen it - this is one critics want to slate.
Also it being a good movie would also require hollywood and related west european entities to accept narrative, which makes everyone look like a dick that everyone will think is a dick for another 2000 years.

People, Places, Things... with Germaine Clement of "Flight of the Conchords" fame. It's on Netflix and I highly recommend it. It is more shoegazing than rock and roll, but it's heartwarming and feel good despite the main protagonist finding himself in a really shitty situation... if you don't enjoy it you need a new heart. I want to watch it again but I need sleep, so it will have to wait.

That’s less Film Chat and more Film PhD Discourse.

As if we needed proof that Kubrick is a fucking amatuer

This is about the TV remake of the film from the book. No mention of the other film remake, which I remember being "grand".

But, you don't often get to read show makers talk in straight up practical terms, how they decide to do, and then do, a thing.

I'm sure this the thing I just watched. As in the documentary.

Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau - Wikipedia

I told housemate that years ago an ex had been told about some friends of hers who had worked on this film. It seemed fanciful, and she had a lot of stories. So housemate insisted on showing me this.

Turns out, having watched this, her mates stories were likely true, even sanitised. I'm not sure I ever even want to see this movie.

Housemate and and I have decided to stay in. Rambo III is on, so that's that.

I'm not a film buff, but before his name ever came onscreen, we knew it was Jerry Goldsmith doing the score.

As the overwrought everything of the movie went on, housemate said: maybe I'll just spend the rest of my life doing acid with Jerry Goldsmith scores in my headphones. It'd be epic.

I laughed anyway.
