Finally saw Three's a Crowd - Harry Langdon's directorial debut. This is just weird and borderline inept. This has some of the worst continuity I've seen from the time. But it's really obvious Langdon was trying to do his own The Kid/Chaplin film. And Langdon doesn't even do much in the second half On the plus side, the DVD includes Langdon's second self-directed film The Chaser, that's actually a funny, even if misogynistic, clever comedy. Basically, it revolves around Harry and his wife and their extremely estranged marriage. At one point, a repo man comes by to claim payment on items that haven't been paid for in a year. Harry brings down a baby carriage still in its wrapping.

In other news, I might be reforming an old band from a decade ago (the difference is we're all sober now). The band's name: Johnnie Walker Wisdom. I just need to not get so deep in the hole for paying rent that I need to hock my guitar. But I'll get there.

I liked the Sydney Pollack movie Yakuza. Haven't seen enough proper yakuza films to compare though.

Also The Yakuza written by Paul Shrader and Robert Towne, which in 1973(4?) was one of the most expensive screenplays ever bought. It's not all that amazing, but it does have Robert Mitchum in that 70's stage of career where he was still the best. I think it's still in Filmstruck.

Tokyo Drifter and Branded To Kill. Edit: Fuuuck. Ok, I'll recommend Ryuji for a small film about a Yakuza's destructive personal life.

Thanks everyone. I’ve heard about the Battles w/o Honor and Humanity films and I’ve seen a few other Takeshi Kitano movies so I’ll probably start with some of those

Grendels Dad posted:I assume reverse John Wick has a cat instead of a dog and since recent discussion concluded that cats are lazy rear end in a top hat actors, go for animation. John wick is a k9 officer for swat, and when he gets killed for not rolling with corruption, he gets killed and his dog gets revenge with the help of a bright eyed rookie transfer.

Sounds like Olivia munn is sideways getting blacklisted over the predator scene. https://www.twitter.com/FilmFatale_NYC/status/1038564071694655488 Costars are cancelling joint interviews with her and won't put out statements on the mess.

I hate where I stand here, and I know I’m going to catch poo poo, but I’m glad Munn got that scene cut and I think Shane Black hosed up and shouldn’t have hired the guy or at least warned Munn...but the whole film was thrown under the bus pretty much, and this issue will be all everyone will talk about. This film seemed like a passion project from everyone because it’s a Predator movie and those don’t come from anywhere other than some kind of love for the series, and all that work from the cast and crew will be over shadowed by this. It’s heartbreaking. I don’t know what anyone should say about it. The movie comes out in a week, and this dropped right before the film came out. It just seems like something is missing. Very frustrating story.

I'm guessing there's as much cowardice as there is outright misogyny here. I'm sure several of her costars have agents or publicists that are just telling them to avoid the whole situation and they're listening because they're loving spineless.

People are impressionable creatures, and a huge portion of how we react to film is emotional and visceral -- and moreover, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think it's much better to articulate your position clearly, understand how you got there, let other people challenge it, and then change your mind (or not) than it is to never say anything you're not sure of.

It's sad if they didn't back her up in interviews and such, but I'm not gonna think badly of them for ovating their director at the premiere. Unless she asked them to not stand for him beforehand I wouldn't think that's a gesture against her. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Sep 9, 2018 |
