Interference Random Movie Talk II

[lazarus]

The best sight is seeing Vegas in my rearview mirror. I can only stand about 6 hours of the place and then all the pathetic examples of human desperation become too much to witness any longer.

 

[Lancemc]

So how horrible does The Bucket List look?

I think I'd rather sift through a pile of my own shit looking for chunks of corn than watch this.


...maybe.

 

[LMP]

You mean you don't want to see the eventual "Morgan Freeman narration" scene?

I bought Shawshank and Blazing Saddles for the combined 13 bucks at Target the other day. I love life.

 

[Lancemc]

Hey LMP, David Lynch has something to say to you:

[No spoken words]

Me. TWBB. Tomorrow. 11:30am. Fuck you all.

Oh g-d, that was great.

YLB pwned by the creator of Frank Booth.

 

[Lancemc]

Me. TWBB. Tomorrow. 11:30am. Fuck you all.

*yawn* That movie was soooo 10 days ago...

 

[LMP]

That's the first time I've understood anything related to David Lynch.

And I have Blue Velvet on my computer, ready to watch after the fucking gargantuan Magnolia.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm going to watch it on my phone, though.

 

[Lancemc]

That's the first time I've understood anything related to David Lynch.

And I have Blue Velvet on my computer, ready to watch after the fucking gargantuan Magnolia.

STOP READING FORUMS AND WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE

That is all.

 

[LMP]

I had to pause to get rid of my ant problem.

Yes, I have a fucking ant problem.

I feel like the Hoffman in Boogie Nights again.

I'm a fuggin' idiot.

 

[No spoken words]

What a little bastard. Fuck.

 

[LMP]

Tell that to the ants.

 

[No spoken words]

I'll tell that to your Mom. Watch the film or risk death.

 

[LMP]

She probably planted them in her to make me not watch it or David Lynch probably sent one of his midgets to do it.

Fuck.

I'll get back to it in about 60 seconds.

 

[lazarus]

Wise Up, YLB.


"If those dogs come near me, I will drop kick them."

 

[LMP]

I already typed up my informal review in the review thread, but man, I loved the Aimee Mann songs in that movie.

Especially Wise Up.

 

[lazarus]

I thought it was lame that Save Me was nominated for the Oscar over Wise Up.

Phil Collins won anyway. God, that was lame. Over Randy Newman for Toy Story 2 and Blame Canada from South Park, too.

 

[LMP]

Save Me is pretty terrible. Momentum and Wise Up are my two fave tracks from the soundtrack.

Man, that was a good movie.

 

[Lancemc]

Phuck Phil Collins.

Unbelievable.

The ones I've seen are bolded. Shit, that's an impressive list.

What about Election or the classic Galaxy Quest?

 

[lazarus]

Oops, I had Election on my first draft that got erased.

Shit, that should be on my Top 15 list, too. Oh well.

 

[lazarus]

You forgot to highlight The Phantom Menace, unless you successfully erased it from your memory.

You haven't seen Being John Malkovich?! Jonez & Kauffman, man.

 

[LMP]

Going back to the '80s for a second, I'm surprised how little love John Carpenter gets around here. Same with probably the ultimate cult classic:

 

[LMP]

You forgot to highlight The Phantom Menace, unless you successfully erased it from your memory.

You haven't seen Being John Malkovich?! Jonez & Kauffman, man.

I did forget The Phantom Menace.

Being John Malkovich is on the NetFlix queue. I can only see so many movies at a time.

 

[lazarus]

Another note, the director of the Marcel Proust adaptation Time Regained is Raul Ruiz, not Ruix.

Apologies.

 

[lazarus]

Going back to the '80s for a second, I'm surprised how little love John Carpenter gets around here.

Really? I could have sworn we had a discussion and/or ranking of his films not too long ago. I love Carpenter, extremely underrated director. Great sense of composition.

I'm pretty sure The Thing was on my list for the 1980's, but I could be wrong.

 

[LMP]

I think it was between you, me, and NSFW.

This podcast I listen to, Watching the Directors, is going to do a Carpenter show soon. It's amazing what that guy did from '76-'88.

And no, The Thing didn't make your list. As much as I love that movie, Big Trouble in Little China will probably always be my favorite Carpenter movie.
