What movie did you watch last night? (19 Viewers)

You ever see Hopper in the Seagal film Ticker? It's an amazing shit-fest, Hopper does possibly the greatest comedy Irish accent to ever grace the big screen. Hopper's foreign accents are all genius really, his Serbian warlord in 24 was amazing too.

haha, will check it. I think I'll pepper 2022 viewing with Norris, Siegel and Van Damme.

In terms of his directing, he can even make artistic failure interesting.

He disowned this, but it's curious stuff nonetheless.

Catchfire (1990) - IMDb

Watched Colors in May which gets a lot of flak from the woke letterboxd brigage... music and cinematography as characters in a movie - exuberant. The use of hiphop and cityscapes in Colors is delirious, and throw in a very dull, deadly Don Cheadle as a blood - recommendation enough.

Anyway, I watched Single White Female tonight.

Incredulous stuff... hard to even fathom it on a psycho-sexual level, although it comes under this whole late 80s/early 90s psycho-sexual/gushing faucets giggling housemates in a kitchen/ erotic stuff that includes Black Widow...probably Ken Russell and Brian DePalma are the genesis of this stuff in Hollywood pop culture: High art descending to meaningless, formless pap over a decade.

Reckon they just wish they could be Verhoeven, but they can't

Zola

I knew nothing about it beforehand apart from it being based on some twitter related business?

Don't hold that against it. It was really good.

I watched "I Never Cry" the other day. Polish-Irish film about a young Polish woman whose father in Ireland dies, and she has to go to Dublin to claim the body etc. It was really good and the Polish one is basically a star in her first screen role.

Whilst I'm here... Gravity was pants in the cinema.

Boring meaningless Oscar-riddled tosh.

Revenge. French rape revenge/ human hunt film. Good if flawed. Some very good, bloody kills.

George Lucas 2004 remix of THX 1138

Great! Although there was

Gosford Park, hadn't seen it since, well not the cinema but whenever it was available for rent in Xtra Vision. Thought it was great, didn't realised that Laurence Fox was in it.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood rewatch. Fucking love this film. Just tips over Jackie Brown as Tarantino's best.

We enjoyed it alright. Wouldn't say it's one of his bests though

Godzilla. Still not bad, still suffers from NOT ENOUGH GODZILLA. I'd seen it before but the boy wants to watch them all, so here we are...

The Departed again. I don't know why.

Did we really dress like that back then? It's a very strange movie. Toxic masculinity on film.

I enjoyed it when it came out but time hasn't been kind to it
