Random Movie Talk XIII: In Which I Cannot Come Up With a Relevant or Witty Title

[Lancemc]

...but still want to ask who's picking up the Shutter Island blu this week?

 

[purpleoscar]

Can't wait.

 

[lazarus]

Can't really afford to buy new Blu releases.

But nice work unceremoniously bumping Godard to the LS archives.

 

[Imperor]

I expected Brodyquest to have a much warmer reception.

I feel you there, honestly. I'll be picking up the Shutter Island blu for the ladyfriend's birthday this week. I also have Kino's new Happy Together blu coming in the mail, which I'm ridiculously excited for. Have my eyes on the Red Desert Criterion too, but can't afford that right now.

And you're welcome.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm in an odd spot where I can and cannot afford them at the same time, if that makes sense. I've been trying to be smarter about buying them lately, especially if I am just looking to replace old favorites. Shutter Island will likely have to wait.

 

[lazarus]

I expected Brodyquest to have a much warmer reception.

I could only get through about one minute of it. Amusing.

What's wrong with this picture?

 

[Lancemc]

What's wrong with this picture?

The picture is absolutely perfect.

 

[lazarus]

You can say that again.

I'm guessing the one on the left because she gots de harujuku hair?

 

[Lancemc]

If only I were that lucky.

Also while I'm embracing my unwavering nerdiness, I'm about to start two anime series for the first time - Ergo Proxy and Casshern Sins, both of which seem very promising.

Same here.

Pierrot le Fou was a tough film to gauge, because yes, it was overwhelmingly stylish and vapid, but I was entranced by it. I'm still unsure how I feel about it, though the scene I posted I'm in love with.

Antonioni's Blow-Up was much more to my speed; I love me some devastating psychological breakdowns.

I expected Brodyquest to have a much warmer reception.

I liked it alright, too.

 

[Lancemc]

Greater Antonioni awaits your awe.

 

[LMP]

Zabriskie Point and Red Desert are on the DVD pipeline.

Spoiler

THERE'S A BIG OCEAN OF ITALIAN CINEMA UNDERNEATH MY FEET.

 

[LMP]

Can this get any better? Aside from Jennifer Aniston, I mean:

Horrible Bosses (2011)

 

[Imperor]

I'd be dismayed at the inclusion of Jamie Foxx if it weren't for his character's name.

 

[LMP]

I stumbled upon this and couldn't help but laugh:

It was made for Laz.

 

[lazarus]

Wow. Visual and sonic torture at the same time.

(insert far superior Scorsese fan montage)

 

[LMP]

It's cut much better, too:

BENNETT MEDIA: the films of martin scorsese

If there's a good first week price on SI this week I'll pick it up, if not I'll wait it out as I usually do nowadays, I've got plenty of other stuff to watch in between, like reliving The Wire which I just snagged for $54.

You got the whole fucking series for $54? Good god that's a steal.

 

[powerhour24]

And it was brand new, Half.com baby.

 

[No spoken words]

That's awesome.

I own all 5 but paid a hell of a lot more than that, certainly.

 

[LMP]

Nice.

My marathon viewing of the series will hopefully start sometime soon.

 

[powerhour24]

I was always behind when it was on the air, so I ended up just borrowing or watching it on Demand, then I had to convince myself to wait for the price of the complete set to drop, I never expected to be able to get it for that little though. I also completed my Six Feet Under collection this week because Best Buy has each season for $20 right now.

I got in on the show late, I must admit. I started watching Season 1 on DVD while Season 4 was being televised. I assumed I'd like it so I DVR'd 4 as I watched 1-3. I binged and caught up quickly, maybe mid-season. Then Season 4 ended and I was kind of like "what the hell do I do with myself now??", such was the show's impact on me.

Basterd, get on it.

I've been a fan of Simon for a long time because of Homicide, but never had HBO until a few years ago.

 

[lazarus]

There's a Wire set still on Half.com for that price, in case anyone else is interested.
