I have a quote of a disfigured man saying "frrriiiieeend" in my head. I am not sure where it's from! I was thinking it was either The Elephant Man or Sloth from the Goonies, but I have been unable to track down a fitting quote from either of those movies. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

E.T.?

Definitely check out more Curtis Mayfield, though! His albums are a bit uneven, but the "People Get Ready" box set collects most his best songs.

The Circus (Charles Chaplin, USA 1928)

Port of Shadows (Quai des brumes, Marcel Carné, France 1938)

The Conductor (Dyrygent, Andrzej Wajda, Poland 1979)

Raven's End (Kvarteret Korpen, Bo Widerberg, Sweden 1963)

The Passion of Joan of Arc (La passion de Jeanne d'Arc, Carl Th. Dreyer, France 1927)

The Phantom Carriage (Körkarlen, Victor Sjöström, Sweden 1921)

Rashomon (Akira Kurosawa, Japan 1951)

But then why lace the rooms history with various specifics , to drive the observant viewer mad? :confused:

Like the three paintings. Why those three specifically when it doesn't look like the people in the painting (the paintees???) were ever in the room or commited suicide?

It also seems like the events depicted (when the pictures start moving) could have happened long before the hotel was built. I think there was a tudor painting?

Why the specific number 1408? (checked the year, nothing out of the ordinary), 1+4+0+8 = 13 of course. But presumably room 1309 has had nothing bad happen to it, or any other numbered room.

Did everybody who stayed at the room die?, or was it just the 53?

Why was the uneaten food in the hallway focussed on when the room service person was clearly there?

Who sent the postcard in the first place?, are there any clues on it as to the sender?

Argh! :psyboom:

The answer to all your questions is: it's a bad movie.

Fortunately Taschen always ends up releasing cheaper versions of these for around $50-60. Can't wait to get the Kubrick Napoleon one.

They still haven't released a cheaper version of the Bergman Archives like they did for Kubrick :(

What? No. That is not the "twist" at all. That movie doesn't even really have a twist. Everyone in the movie is real. Not everything you see in the movie is real but all the main characters are established as existing outside of Nina's mind at at least one point or another.

No way dude, she was totally incepted.

Also, pay close attention when Nina(4) goes in the box, you can see Nina(6) in the background.

I've been trying to find this out without exposing myself to spoilers through sifting through Wikipedia and some reviews but I couldn't find a conclusive answer: should I watch Apocalypse Now first and then Apocalypse Now Redux or vice versa? Or will Apocalypse Now Redux on its own cover all of the bases?

Theatrical version first.

What was so special about Prizzi's Honor that it was nominated for so many awards? I just caught it for the first time on HBO and thought that it was pretty average. The IMDB users agree with me, because it has a 6.8 rating, yet it was up for Best Picture at the 1986 Academy Awards. What am I missing?

You're not missing anything, the Academy is stupid.

I watched Children of Men last night, and was wondering what movie holds the record for the longest scene without cuts?

Off the top of my head, I'd guess Russian Ark (99 minutes, no cuts)


edit: Bela Tarr's Macbeth has 67 minutes without cuts

It's generally accepted that Saturday Night Fever was a critical deconstruction and dismantling of the shallowness of the disco era, right? I thought it was going to be a good times dance flick, since I see it in music movie lists with Xanadu. Boy was I surprised. I guess the PG/tv version cut down on the number of rapes, and it's all that people remember?

It's just a case of people judging a book by its cover. It's the same thing with Seventh Seal, first time viewers are always surprised that it has comedic elements.

I've watched After the Rehearsal twice and didn't care much for it either time. Perhaps reading A Dream Play would have made it better.
