Tha Godard moveh was gud.

And since I know Hayden's gonna have a nice date for Valentines Day, I hereby declare that he see Bergman's Cries & Whispers with that lucky someone.
(Unless he's already seen it, which would mean he'd have to watch [i]Lenny[i] instead)

EDIT: Ahhhhh 😄 La Antena was lovely. 1.5 hours of pure, unique, enthralling enjoyment.

Humm... this could be a good thread for a movie beginner, like me!
For Nutso, one of my favorite movies of all time, even if my friends find it to be quite monotonous, it attracts me in some misterious way, I can't explain

When The Wind Blows (1986), directed by Jimmy Murakami. It's a lesser-known amazing animated film, but I found out after watching the movie that there's some big names behind the soundtrack: Roger Waters writing most of the tracks and David Bowie (T.T) behind the title track.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed (dir. Lotte Reiniger; 1926)

Interesting early animation film, though I didn’t get much out of it. I suppose this is due to my preference for other forms of narrative and aesthetics. That said, I did enjoy it and honestly I’m pretty impressed by the work of Lotte Reiniger here from a technical standpoint.

hey let's resurrect this

Have you seen any Ryan Trecartin, Gabe? I wonder what you'd think of I-Be Area.

so basically what we have here is a lo-fi postmodern blend of fast-paced absurdist vine-era humor mixed with the equally absurd/fast-paced humor of those YouTube Poop videos and blended all together with Slacker's ideas of anti-narrative and dialogue so meaningless that that's actually the whole point? Honestly that description sounds so maddening I feel like I should have really loved this, and to be fair I did for certain stretches, but I kind of feel like only a few select portions of the 100some minutes here were really executed to the fullest potential of whatever this kind of "Slacker for the internet era" vibe is I'm getting. This is the kind of thing I feel like I would love if the bits that tickled my fancy the most were culled together into a much shorter film, but then again making any attempt to derive something truly concise out of this might be kinda defeating the purpose. Who knows. Heh I'll def be directing some of my friends towards this thing. Regardless of if I liked it or not (still undecided on that), am definitely glad I now know it exists.

Alriiighty so I think I send one to Hayden again? Hmmmmmmmmmm here try this

Nope. I'll take that on 😄

I'll be honest, my knowledge of Haneke is kinda sad... I've only seen his latest two.

Okay, I just saw Pastoral on YouTube, and it was pretty good. With Teriyama's Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I had trouble getting into the narrative, and I still had that trouble connecting to the characters here. However, I was really visually pleased by the surrealism, and when it comes to boom-boom-boom, it's hard to get any better than this. Every shot had something crazy in it, and it amazed me how much variety there was in the set design and cinematography. Maybe I should see this other 1971 Teriyama Throw Away Your Books.

Throw Away Your Books is the only other of his I've seen besides Pastoral and it's almost as good imo

Yep, definitely my favorite poop-vie of last year. It was like Jeunet doing a mashup of Satantango and The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. So great.

Fascinating. Really loved Ghandi's commentary on the nature of spiritual leaders and the implications of spiritual practice in general. The social experiment was interesting in and of itself, though the actual craft of the film was rather excellent as well. Thanks Dave 😄

Alright another for Charlie I believe? Hmmmmm this maybe?

The Color of Pomegranates (dir. Sergei Parajanov; 1969)

Finally got around to this today. Excellent rec DBZ 😄 I'm surprised I hadn't seen it already to be honest. Fantastic imagery. Going to have to check out some of the director's other works.

Dang, this was like the greatest Youtube poop I've ever seen. So very, very fun and surreal in its own way. Thanks for the rec, Gabe 😄

Dave, I want to see what you think of The Nightmare (2015), from the guy who made Room 237.
