Well, you can still offer your opinion on Malick. Yay or nay?
No spoken words said:I did like it again.
I just like Timothy Dalton a lot. He can actually act, and it shows. Yes, for sure, it is not nearly as lighthearted as the Moore films, but, there's a certain intensity to it that I liked. You'll never convince me that Brosnan was better, that's for sure....and I like Brosnan in many other films.

No spoken words said:I have yet to see Hot Fuzz.
He's in The Lion in Winter, albeit at a young age.
He was in fucking Flash Gordon, of all things.
Lancemc said:I think mesmerizing is a great word to describe it. I just bought The New World on DVD today, so I'm in a Malick state of mind right now. Austin Lynch's making-of documentary on there was pretty fascinating. Malick is a real naturalist and historian. Brilliant man. I haven't seen Badlands yet, but it's in the mail right now from Netflix, along with All The Real Girls (finally!).
And have you seen any of Wong's short films? You could check them out in the meantime before your Wong-A-Thon later on. I think they're all on youtube. I could post them if you'd like. Some of them are rather brilliant.

I'm sorry, but I giggled.
You'll love it, and it looks like I'll love The Lion in Winter.
Lancemc said:This might be a completely random and worthless question of taste, but I'm curious, specifically from Laz since I know you've seen almost all of the entirely of these two director's catalogues, which talent you prefer/believe to be the greater?
Wong Kar-Wai
or
Terrence Malick
I've been trying to reach a conclusion all night to no avail, though I'm not sure why it even matters. On the surface at first it seemed like a wholly incomparable pairing, but there really seems to be a remarkable similarity between these two filmmakers. What say you?

I mean, I can tell you right now that I would take Days of Heaven over anything else by either guy. That film is just a slice of cinematic perfection.
lazarus said:I saw his short for The Hire, and whatever was on the In the Mood For Love DVD, but that's it. Maybe a commercial or two.
