i finally watched hide and seek tonight. so at the end when the girl draws herself with the two heads, is that signifying she also has multiple personalities?

Have anyone seen the movies Kids and Bully by Larry Clark?
I've heard alot about them, they should both be very disturbing and realistic. (very strong rape scenes, drugs, etc.)

Kids disturbed me at first, but after seeing Bully it no longer effected me...not saying Bully is worse, but they both just seem like shock and I think the director has too big a hard on for that.

I guess, I didn't care by that point, all I know is that when that chick fell out of the window I laughed my ass off.

I have a hard on for Larry Clark. They are both really good movies. I love his photography too.

You and Mazzy are horrible, giving away the ends of movies.

I watched Love Liza tonight. I'm still trying to process what I've seen and it's hard to explain it. I felt incredible sadness, uncomfortness and empathy for Seymour Hoffman's character, Wilson.  God, the pain Wilson goes through and the complete destruction that he is ensuing on his life after his wife's suicide. It gives you this inlook on how a person copes with loss in one's life without omission. Huffing gas is about the most destructive thing you can do to your body, for not that much reward. There are so many other substances that will make you feel much better and don't have as horrible side effects on your life. But that's exactly the point for Wilson, his life as he knew it, is over and it's all about destruction now. It's like Wilson wants to join his wife, but with a slow, soft suicide. He wants to feel what she felt as she died, why she died, but he doesn't want to read the letter that Liza left him. The ending was something I liked, it wasn't the happy ending, it was raw and it showed the vulnerability of a person who just doesn't really know how to cope.

It was stunningly accompanied with Jim O'Rourke's music in the background, and Jeff Buckley's Corpus Christi Carol was definitly a beautiful surprise. I really loved this more than I can really say. I feel what I've written doesn't give it any justice because it's so much more painfully and depressingly beautiful.

i knew that you would love it. it's one of my favorite movies. i enjoyed the comedic side to it. philip seymour hoffman is very good at achieving drama with dark comedy. i loved the parts with him and kathy bates. the ending was really weird to me yet satisfying in a way. i loved what the letter said and how things came about. it was like youre saying bye to this lonely soul and you have no idea whats going to happen to him. and BAM! the movie ends.

Watched:

- The Woodsman - great movie, you have so much sympathy for Kevin Bacon.

- The Thin Red Line - one of the best war movies ever, in my opinion, although it's sometimes a little too vague for its own good. If it would've kept up the pace of the first half, it would be the best war movie ever, the end.

[deftones_subject]

kids was good, havent seen bully yet. if you guys like movies like these you should check it "thirteen". has the same screenwriter from kids (harmony kormine) but i dont think it was that harsh compared to kids but still worth seeing.

[one weak]

Watched "The Deer Hunter" yesterday. man...Christopher Walken and De Niro are such great actors.

[Mazzy]

I watched Dawn Of The Dead. It wasn't too bad, considering the unnecessary nudity they had. I just didn't think it fit into the whole plot and where they were trying to go with the whole movie itself. I guess it was just cheap tacky visualisation. I liked how at the beginning I hated CJ's character (one of the security guards) then I started to love him because he was the humour of that movie. I thought some parts of it was just boring but I found myself commenting on how good it was to my mum afterwards so I guess it gets a half up thumb from me. I thought the whole God involvement with anything tragic is just so fucking overdone. I just hate watching a movie and then something happens and suddenly it's like 'oh let's bring God into this'. The evil pastor that was on tv was just the devil himself, yeah, let's blame this on gay people...pfft  :roll:

Thirteen is based on the dark haired actresses real life though. I thought it was a highly disturbing movie.

watching Fight Club tonight for a group Psychology project (doesn't get any better than that...unless the project wason Pulp Fiction i guess....)

[ItsClassicalAnyways]

on friday im going to watch the 78 version of dawn of the dead, then go and see land of the dead, then back to lauras to watch H.O.T.S.III, a david hasslehoff and cheerleaders movie pumped full of nudity. oh joy.

[Azwethinkweiz]

I watched the movie Elephant tonight.
Hmm, I don't really know if I like it or not. It was an interesting movie and kinda depressing and very real but.....yeah.. dunno what to think.

anyways, watch it and see for yourself.

agreed

The reason I love Saving Private Ryan is because Tom Hanks dies. I only start crying because I realise that it's just a movie.
