I reckon if you like good western, you'll love No Country for Old Men.

Never said it was a classic, Ole....just pandered to my passing interest in Japanese schoolgirls!

Love Blood Simple but Barton Fink left me cold.

But there were no naked schoolgirls.

But they were in uniform, which is no bad thing. Probably the only plus point in what is, I agree, a pretty awful film.

olesmyhero · 28th December 2007, 15:33

I did enjoy the overdone sound effects of guns. Every time a gun moved, it sounded like it was being loaded.

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 17:30

The Man Who Wasn't There was very good. Again, a fantastic looking film by the Coens. They know their onions.

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 19:33

can someone recommend me a few surreal/weird/lynch-type films? Oh I think I've seen most of Lynch and Miike's work.

Salvation · 28th December 2007, 19:37

I can't

Hope this helps

If you want surreal, try Un Chien Andalou or L'Age D'Or by Bunuel...that'll blow your mind, and see where Lynch gets some of his influences from. Make absolutely no narrative sense but good for a chin scratch!

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 20:55

I've only seen The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by Bunuel.

Have you seen Grindhouse yet, Hammer or anyone for that matter?

mehro · 28th December 2007, 20:59

I"ve seen it. It was alright. PLanet Terror was better than the other one.

Hammer, have you seen anything by Bresson?

Discreet Charm was bubbling under for my top 100 (wonder what Topper would have made of that one!).

No haven't seen Grindhouse yet. Somehow couldn't get excited about either films. Maybe an experiment that didn't have the legs (if you pardon the pun with regards to Rodriguez).

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 21:03

Ok. Any horror films?

Only seen Pickpocket (which I completely forgot about for my short list, thanks for reminding me!)...had to study it at uni when I did a paper on Existensialism in film, focusing on Taxi Driver. Scorsese and Schrader refer to this a lot as a source of inspiration.

Jesus, Spoons, you'll be here all day with me on that one!

Give me a couple of hours then and I'll try for a definative list.

You do realise that talking about all these films on here is stopping me from marking a mountain of work over the Christmas period!

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 21:16

oops.

Hammer Michael · 28th December 2007, 21:18

Fuck it, I'll just fail them all and say they know nothing about films. Apart from the pretty girl who sits at the back and has chosen to analyse The Elephant Man...she can get a pass, with extra after hours revison with yours truly!

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 21:24

Tell her Spoony's in the mood for love.

Hammer Michael · 28th December 2007, 21:32

She has quite nice norks as well, Spoony - shall I pass her a note during maths??

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 21:37

I would take advantage of her if I were you. I still can;t believe Billy Bob's character turned down a blowjob from Miss Johansson in The Man Who Wasn't There. I was in utter disbelief.

The moral thing to do would be tell her if she fucks you she gets an A.

I've seen Grindhouse. If you're looking for a movie that's straight out of that era, watch Planet Terror. If you want to see how a modern day director interprets a grindhouse film, watch Death Proof. I love Planet Terror for its commitment to the genre. I love Death Proof because it's just a good movie.

Spoonatov · 28th December 2007, 21:40

I want to see Sex and Furry, Ole. Reiko Ike looks well fit.

And the immoral thing?

Anyway, what's the point? Love Captain Spoony is on heat, so I can't compete with that.

I didn't like either that much, though prefer Deathproof. Could see why some would like Planet Terror though but I could not relate to it at all.

She's certainly not afraid to get her tits out.

But you hold her grade in her hands. At the very least she'll think of Senor Spoonez whilst you're giving it to her. Win win for all parties really.
