It wasn't until late last year that I realized why I felt this way; I was him at one point. My first real "relationship" years ago had so many similarities to what he went through, and the movie brought a lot of the emotions I had felt back up to the surface. I knew exactly how it would play out from the get go, and I wanted to try my hardest to stop him from putting himself through that because I knew exactly how he was going to feel. It was at that point that I actually really, really appreciated the movie.

I just watched this, and fucking wanted to kick the character because I was in a similar predicament a bit over 4 years ago. God fuck am I glad I learned.

Although Eva Mendes might be reason enough to watch any film.


hated it. nic cage is washed up. anyone who says his acting was fantastic in this particular film is blind, deaf, and a moron.

worst line of the film, that i immediately think of when i think "bad lieutenant"

"i'm gonna pop a cap in yo ass.. til the break 'a dawn!!!"

lol

except hal. he's just a moron.

I had zero interest in seeing Bad Lieutenant until I saw someone on another board with a quote from the movie as his sig. "What are these fucking iguanas doing on my coffee table?"


Posted by Silky Johnson on May-14-2010 16:56:

I'm telling you all. See the original with Harvey Keitel.


Posted by Halcyon+On+On on May-14-2010 16:57:

Haaaaaa, the fucking lizards out of nowhere was awesome. It was mostly a fucking mess of a movie, but I enjoyed every slimy minute of it for some reason. I like to pretend it was all intentional, kind of an underbelly exposition by way of the imagery it used - close-up shots of snakes, lizards, dead gators, etc. It was just a really animalistic piece, man being the main animal.

Oh snap! So much hate in your heart! Imagine if you actually saw the whole screen!

Anybody wanna hear some more Asian jokes or what?! Fuck!

Yesterday German TV showed the 2007 Golden Palm winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Highly recommended!

hey ******, i'm agreeing with you! damn mexi- peurto ric- argenti- err..

i still stand by my convictions though. i've never been so appalled by awful acting in my life. nic cage really tried way too hard to act like a cracked-out piece of shit. i mean, werner herzog is a classic director, so maybe everything was intentionally shot like that like hal mentioned.. but i just couldn't get past nic cage's bad.. well, bad everything.

Just watched this. Great flick. 8/10.

If you thought that you were an intelligent movie analyzer, don't watch this film or you will be prescribed Xanax.

Watched that for the first time (and in hd) the other day, quite good... but sortof weird.

It's like a story that doesn't really have a moral. Like, it doesn't even try to be weird (whether succeeding or failing) but just is anyway.

It's hard to hold onto. I mean, I own naked lunch and that's more straightforward.

I can see why mad world was a popular song though.

+1. I've yet to see New York, I Love You but I've been meaning to. I doubt it lives up. What was your favorite short? It's hard not to love the Natalie Portman one - I really liked the gay guys language barrier one (probably my favorite) but also...the nick nolte short was great..and the Oscar Wilde one.
I could go on....


In other news:
I'm watching North Face right now and 'edge of your seat' doesn't begin to do justice...

You should give the Director's Cut a try; it explains some parts by including pages of the book between some chapters

That being said, there is no real explanation to it.
The director doesn't want that, he wants people to come up with their own theories

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Don't do it! Never read that book or the retarded explanation it gives.

Donnie Darko should be surrealistic and when looking at a surrealistic painting I don't want an art fag like Nefardec to come along and start explaining "The wolf symbolizes the animalic human nature and the house symbolizes society and it's values at the time. By painting bla and bla the artist wants to express his views on bla and defines art in a new way that is different from bla and more in accordance with Bla's theory on eductaion. However for that we first must discuss the nature of art and education and their specific role in bla bla (more tl;dr)." Imo it's an awesome movie without any explanation, that time travel shit ruins things.

I watched You Don't Know Jack last night and I recommend it. Brilliant acting from Pacino (of course) with solid performances from Susan Sarandon and John Goodman. The movie itself does a brilliant job of presenting Jack Kevorkian in a fair manner. It can basically be summarized in a line said by a news reporter in the movie: "Jack Kevorkian, the right message but wrong messenger". Watch it.

Yes, this is definitely on my list of films to watch.

just saw the Australian film "The Square" the other day. Really good film noir. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Check it out:

I'm gonna rent this one some time this week.

I watched Robin Hood last weekend and it was ok. I'm having trouble enjoying a movie where I feel it's cliche and I know what's going to happen.. they made it very obvious there will be a second part.

I hope to see Prince of Persia this or next week, just to see Jake's body ..oh yeah, and the movie.

Get him to the Greek is hilarious. I went in with no expectations, but loved every second of it.
