If you can get down with pulp sci-fi, Message From Space is what's up. Also, everyone watch The Stuff.

Dead Precedents posted:I get on a foreign film kick sometimes and several months back watched several Korean films. Tell me more about Masquerade? I just took it off my list because I wasn't sure I wanted to sink quite that much time into a movie I really have no idea about.

Check out Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy? if you want to hear Michel Gondry talk over and misunderstand Noam Chomsky.

I found Bound to be too thickly laden with wink-nudge self-awareness, without anything all that interesting to back it up. To be fair, the people I watched it with went nuts for it.

K. Waste posted:Don't forget Chauncey. Yeah, but Chauncey went out a champion, at least. I really felt for Tree and wanted to see him get hit poo poo together and then, "killed by police taser".

K. Waste posted:Yeah, it's all pretty fifty shades of hosed up. You especially gotta love/seriously contemplate when Dada's brother (not his 'brother,' his literal brother, I don't even know if that was necessary) is saying, “This is what’s been goin’ on for centuries. The Romans started it with the coliseum and the gladiators. And it continues today, here in West Perrine.” The irony is palpable. The vast majority of gladiators were vilified and hated slaves. Only a few were distinguished by the honor of being "volunteers," and they mostly acquired this distinction by callously murdering these undesirables. The parallels to gladiator fights also extend to the heavy implication that these are poor people being violently pitted against one another to distract the lower class from their misery, and that it's a desperate means for disenfranchised people to earn their freedom. With regards to the first part of that: "I'm against violence. I have to say that, because I'm involved with United Homes for Children. BUT" sums up a lot of the movie.
