Has anyone seen Lil Quinquin? It sounds interesting but 3.5 hours is a pretty big commitment for an absurdist murder mystery cop drama comedy.

Also: World of Tomorrow left me kind of flat after how breathless reviews have been and how much I liked It's Such A Beautiful Day. I kept expecting a turn that never really came.

i honestly just don't get the appeal of Don Hertzfeldt at all

I just really want to know how the John Waters cameo came about. Whose idea was it? Because a reference would be weird enough, but he's actually in the movie. Someone ponied up the cash to have John Waters appear. Who? Why?


They thought it was lame and they were right

I bet some people involved with the film wanted to meet John Waters - primarily.

I went into Day pretty skeptical and the first half-hour or so didn't do much for me — it plays like a more polished, downer version of Rejected, which I liked well enough in high school but grew out of. It really finds itself in the back half, though, it ended up being one of the most thoughtful, beautiful movies I saw that year.

World of Tomorrow is funny enough, it just didn't ever click beyond that.

I felt more awesome about it before the trailer gave away the premise. If it's good, that won't matter.

Edit: I love Henry Rollins though, I'm defs gonna watch this.

edit2: does anyone know if it's streaming anywhere? I'll do digital rental...

So, how do you guys feel about Viper's 5 part Short Movie?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4pGsSeKm78

Personally, I'm really into the door creaking in part 3 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEv5eyem_KI it's at a minute in )

and Part 4 gets really uncomfortable imo, but it's a cool peek "behind the scenes"

I have not seen it but just pretend it's one of those prestige TV miniseries because it is.

I've only seen two films by Bruno Dumont: Outside Satan, which follows the trend of slow arthouse cinema while still being weirdly unconventional; and Camille Claudel 1915, which is slow but much more conventional and Binoche gets to strut her stuff next to a bunch of real asylum patients.

I don't think that's unfair. McTiernan is going for an Alien-esque slow burn, but the jungle environment doesn't have the environmental richness and flat-out weirdness of the Nostromo setting. It doesn't take that long for the Predator to show up (what, the 30-minute mark, at most?), but there's definitely a "hurry up and wait" sense to the beginning of the movie.

And I love that with monster movies, but it's that battle scene that I just am not a fan of. I like some little parts, (I ain't got time to bleed! Stick around! the truck) but it just doesn't do a thing for me outside of those moments. It's weird because every other monster movie works for me because it's slow, except for Predator. Because once the Predator shows up, it's still a low burn, but the interesting things begin to happen. I much prefer the pacing post battle scene.

I mean that battle scene does nothing for me either, but it firmly establishes that the main guys are huge badasses who can easily kill loads of people.

Redlettermedia is good and my favorite internet thing. They're funny, and don't take film reviewing super serious. Watching their reviews is like hanging out with your buddies after a movie. Everyone is polite with each other, and makes each other laugh and it's a good time.

I took my nephews (age 5 & 6) to see Star Wars this morning. Two minutes before it started I told them I accidentally bought tickets for Alvin and the Chipmunks and we had to watch that movie instead. The sheer look of terror on their faces was worth the price of admission.

This is hilarious.
