FreudianSlippers posted:Chainstores are all pretty dull. The smaller more specialized stores where you have to search through mountains of material to find the good stuff are more fun and have the added bonus of the person behind the counter often being the one that owns the place so they know the whole place in and out and can tell if you if they have that certain Mojo Nixon record or Lost Highway on VHS or a cassette by some uber kvlt Black Metal group that only released half a record in 1993 and if not they can probably try to order it for you. That's just more appealing than a bunch of bored teenagers that can't stand being there. I'm that guy at my store My favorite day is the day the old dude who drops like 200 a week because he has his own customers and doesn't want to set up a diamond account comes in because it's the only conversation I have in a given week where I don't have to explain anything and am.more likely to learn some poo poo

Isn't the explanation at the end of Psycho just kind of a product of its time? Psycho pioneered this kind of psychological gimmick thriller on the screen, didn't it? Sure now days, people having identity disorders and stuff is a giant cliche that every predicts and rolls their eyes at, but it wasn't in 1960.

The Night They Raided Minsky's kinda owns with all these crash zooms on leering and befuddled 1920s men. Working my way through Friedkin's oeuvre after reading his autobiography.

Tonight's double feature: The Terminator and Badlands. Terminator is like the platonic ideal of a B movie. Badlands is... well it sure is something. The score is crazy.

FreudianSlippers posted:Peeping Tom is so good that it ruined the directors career. Everyone was like "Wow! this is far too good. He can never work again". I thought it ruined the main star's acting career? I vaguely remember him as the heartthrob in kitschy movies that were super-popular in Germany, then he starred in a good movie and was promptly forgotten.

Sure now days, people having identity disorders and stuff is a giant cliche that every predicts and rolls their eyes at, but it wasn't in 1960. Part of it. Hitchcock was inspired by the low-budget horror movies by the likes of Roger Corman and William Castle, as well as Les diaboliques. I think he was poking fun at having a long-winded coda, only to pull one more scare on the audience with that long creepy take of Norman smiling.

I don't think he directed anything else for years and certainly without the prestige of his earlier films. Karl Bohm may have been affected, but IMDB lists his next two films as two years later, but both mega-productions at MGM. (Also, IMDB says he starred in a German TV version of Traumnovelle)

Bohm was who I was thinking of, I guess it was more that people were shocked that Kaiser Franz from the Sissi movies suddenly played a pervy murderer, but he seemingly did alright after that.

It depends on the season (and episode). For instance there's a stretch where George is broke and has to move in with his parents. e ^^^ and he sometimes eats garbage.

Yeah, Jerry is obviously wealthy, based upon the apartment and how he can pay cash for a Cadillac for his parents or casually loan Elaine five grand. Kramer "fell rear end-backward into money," according to George.

morestuff posted:Anyone have any writing they'd recommend on Ali: Fear Eats The Soul? Anyway, this being Fassbinder's most well-known film in America, there are a plethora of articles & books about it and I'm not sure if you're looking for a particular angle or length. A good, if tangential, starting point might be Fassbinder's own musings on Douglas Sirk, especially All That Heaven Allows.

Coaaab posted:I never liked the addition of "Ali:" to the original title to make it a subtitle, probably done at the behest of some American distributor for marketing purposes or w/e; it's much more evocative as just Fear Eats The Soul. Awesome, thank you. I (unintentionally) also watched All That Heaven Allows for the first time recently and it wasn't surprising to find out Fassbinder was a big Sirk fan. Know of anything specifically on the way the film treats and depicts Ali? The ending gives a good idea of why they did this but I was frustrated by how much of the film focuses on Emmi's point of view.

My wife had an unexpected day off yesterday and my freelance work is kind of dry at the moment, so we watched a bunch of random poo poo on Netflix and Prime yesterday. - Life, Animated was a really touching look at how the classic Disney animated films helped an autistic young man break out of his shell and actually become verbal and living on his own. Good movie but it kind of feels like a paean to Disney by the halfway mark -- almost relentlessly praising the way the company is so brazenly consumerist. Still worth a watch. - Sing Street was so, so, so loving good, holy poo poo.

There are parts when it gets more than a little depressing but the music is so fantastic (how the gently caress "Drive It Like You Stole It" didn't get an Oscar nomination is beyond me) and the ending made me tear up quite a bit. The cast, which is almost entirely unknowns (the biggest names are probably Aidan Gillen and Maria Doyle Kennedy, and they're barely in the movie), has wonderful chemistry together. The dedication card at the end of the movie is "For Brothers Everywhere," which should tell you what kind of story it is.
