Watched Richard Stanley's documentary The Otherworld this morning after getting woken up at 4am. Tired and confused is the best time to see that movie. A mix of doofy orb-obsessed expats, bemused and sometimes pissed off locals, a slightly mental skeleton wizard and Stanley himself discuss the history & mystical goings on in Montsegur, France. It's engaging, goofy, eerie and beautiful to look at. E: sorry, Netflix US mysterious frankie fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Nov 12, 2015 |

Lamenting that the butt you saw on screen is not the actual butt of the actress on screen is pretty creepy, folks.

Now if he was lamenting the lack of unsimulated sex in Irreversible, that would be creepy. Wanting to see a pretty woman naked? That sounds pretty darn universal to me.

Being upset the movie tricked you into thinking you got to ogle a particular person's butt but it was actually a different person's butt has a gross sense of entitlement about it.

You would have a point if there was no butt trickery at all and someone was complaining about a complete lack of a persons butt in the movie, but the movie makers use a stunt butt because they know it will trick your butt identity capabilities.

Every thread I follow has had a butt conversation this week, with varied degrees of butt jokes and people accusing the butt jokers of being creepy. Is there some kind of planetary alignment I don't know about? Here's an easy softball lob for someone to make a Uranus joke, don't let me down thread!

Just watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and holy gently caress was that refreshing after my Human Centepide trilogy marathon. If you like spy movies and haven't seen it you really owe it to yourself to watch it. It's a hard movie to follow because so many of the little details and plot threads are easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention, but it's extremely enjoyable trying to piece together the full picture as you watch along. The rewatch was just as enjoyable as the first time since I could pick up on so many of the things I missed the first watch.

I'm half way through Master of None and it is pretty drat good. I didn't know what to expect because Aziz Ansari has been sort of hit or miss lately, but it's really solid. Reminds me of a young guys Louie.

I actually might enjoy it more than Louie myself. Louie can be really good, but it can also be a little pretentious and cheesy. Actually, I don't like Eric Warheim in Master of None though. I think his character kind of sucks. I like everything else. Jon Benjamin was great. I hope he is in more episodes.

It's a weird adaptation of a good book. They didn't try to replace all of the internal thoughts and descriptions in the book, they just left them out. The acting is really good and there are good scenes in it, but I wouldn't have understood any of it if I hadn't read the book.

I liked TTSS, but I'll admit I had little clue what was going on until the quick recap at the end (since I've never read the book). I found the performances engaging, though. Today I watched Under The Skin and The Visitor, both up on Amazon Prime. I had high hopes for Under The Skin based on the attention it got when it came out, and the earlier bits when she's out 'hunting' where nice (apparently most of the dialogue there was improv), but it felt like it ground to a halt halfway through. One of my complaints is that it feels like a 22 min. episode of The Twilight Zone that's been stretched out to nearly 2 hours, without adding any additional story. Another complaint is that Scarlet Johansson has to carry nearly the entire film on her own, but her only lines are the bits I mentioned earlier. Which wouldn't be a problem in and of itself; other actors are done it before successfully. But in this case the fact that she's playing an alien masquerading as human with actually feeling most human emotions, means that she never emotes. And without lines or emoting, I never felt like I was watching her act for most of the film, just very extended scenes of her standing, sitting, or walking in various locations. Great cinematography, though, so it was nice to look at. The Visitor was an eighties sci-fi/fantasy/horror (I'm honestly not sure what it was supposed to be) film, that finally managed to answer the question that had been nagging me for years: 'What if The Omen were remade by a Scientologist, with a dash of self-aware pedophilia and a comically inappropriate funk score?" Then, in the last 15 minutes, it got weird. Weird enough the even Lance loving Henriksen looked like he was struggling to maintain his dignity.

I didn't find Tinker, Tailor all that hard to follow per se, but I think part of that is that you aren't really meant to "follow" the spy stuff completely. It's meaningless bullshit, boys and girls playing a ridiculous game with real lives and no real sense of consequence or goals. Hence the one guy's absurd bluster about how "we're on the front lines now" when they're called out on their incompetence.

I'm glad someone else can confirm that The Visitor exists. I mentioned it in this thread a while ago and got nothing. I was hoping to form an ad hoc support group for people left in the wake of that bewildering film, but since no one was forthcoming at the time I just went ahead and channeled all that rage and confusion into the resurrection of the Northside Chicago street gang The Almighty Gaylords.

I haven't read the book but by the end I did more or less get everything that had happened. It is incredibly dry and slow but in my estimation it didn't take anything away from it. Oldman, Hardy and the guy from Stardust all acquitted themselves very well.

The Visitor is great because on paper it's just "The Omen meets Chariots of the Gods" but in practice is something wholly original. Also the music and that opening monologue.
