Raxivace posted:I dunno how it comes off in Japanese, but in English I think Heaven and Hell sounds like a little much. My favorite Japanese/American title change is Hari Kiri, or as it's known in Japan, Seppuku. Basically, it would be like retitling Shinobi to Ninja. I know there is a difference between the two terms, but I can't explain it. Still, I like how one Japanese term is too obscure, so let's replace it with another Japanese term for ritual suicide. Ironically, Seppuku is probably more known in the west now.

Any opinion on One Eyed Jacks? A western noir with Marlon Brando intrigues me, but a Criterion with 54% on Rotten Tomatoes makes me think that it's definitely a "not for everyone" movie.

Empress Brosephine posted:is filmstruck worth it guys now that its been out for a while I like it because I'm waaaay behind on watching a bunch of classics that are on there. There are also titles that don't have physical releases yet like Stalker. It isn't comprehensive by any means though. I can see myself dropping it after I catch up on everything I've wanted to watch.

Ditto what he said, but since my watchlist currently has 87 titles, I doubt I'll be dropping it anytime soon. I think it's great, so far.

Huh, I actually just watched Rumble Fish the other week. It's a beautiful film with a great Stewart Copeland soundtrack, but it's based on a (I assume) not very good young adult novel, and it's an odd case of the quality of the direction highlighting the weakness of the source material rather than elevating it. The dialogue is awful and the ending is ridiculous.

I'm not sure I'm really feeling the Dekalog. Probably mostly through no fault on its own, it's just that something so heavy and melancholic is not exactly what I need in my life right in the wonderful year that has been 2016.

I feel frustrated about Filmstruck because it's really awesome, but I already have Netflix steaming, Netflix DVD, Prime and Shudder. This covers at least 95% of what Filmstruck has, so it's pretty hard to justify.

Probably. But I just finished the other book I was reading and Amazon gave me a notification that it went down in price. It's only a couple bucks. Speaking of which, is the Night of the Hunter novel worth reading?

FYI, In a Lonely Place is an awesome movie. I knew it was going to be great between it being a Nicholas Ray film with Bogart and Gloria Grahame, but drat.

I've had Solaris sitting on my shelf for ~4 years and haven't found the time to watch it. I really should get around to it at some point. How does it compare to other Tarkovsky movies?
