Watching "Indentity" in Psychology/Horror class...not so bad, I'd give it a 6.5/10.
Next week we are watching parts of "Hostel" and "Punishment Park".
You and your classmates would probably get a real kick out of the film The Ninth Configuration, written and directed by the guy who wrote the original Exorcist (book and film). It's about a bunch of Vietnam vets in a secluded mental hospital, and is a real trip.
...and then ask someone from your class out on a date.
I remember seeing that with my girlfriend and then getting into a huge argument on the way home. Not even about the film or the subject matter. It's something better seen alone, because it does not leave people in a good mood, their right mind, etc.
And yeah, Inception does look good. I really didn't care for Following much. Or the batman films... or Insomnia, but that's well worn forum ground by now.
I'm not surprised. Irreversible is the single most physically-intense/stirring film I've ever watched. Eli Roth and his hack horror comrades aint got nothing on ol' Gaspar. It doesn't help that they're all idiots and make idiodic empty films, but yeah.

*sigh*
VLC is having trouble playing the subtitle files for Love Exposure. I also tried mplayer and Cellulo to no avail. Any ideas?
Don't you have Perian for Quicktime? You install that and it automatically loads any .srt files when you play an file, assuming they have same file name before the extension.
Other than that, I would try Visual Hub. If you go to advanced and check Force Quicktime Encoding, it should fuse the and the corresponding .srt, again if they have the same name.
Hey folks, big news here:
Barnes & Noble is having a 50% off sale on ALL Criterion for the next two weeks. In addition, there's a coupon that will give you an additional 25% off one item if you buy it at an actual store.
I just picked up the 9 hour Japanese WW2 epic The Human Condition for $30 + tax. Retail is $80.
I highly recommend these collections:
Carl Th. Dreyer set (Ordet, Day of Wrath, Gertrud)
Late Ozu
Raymond Bernard collection (incudes the 4.5-hour Les Miserables adaptation and an amazingly ahead of its time war film called Wooden Crosses)
Here's the link for the printable coupon:

BTW, I found the entire Until the End of the World director's cut (even against the warning of someone here).
How could you? It's one of the worst films ever made, didn't you hear?
