I've watched thousands of films only once. If I don't like a film I won't watch it again. Simple. I found Salo very dull by the way.

d3d on Nov 23 '05 at 4:11am

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
too damn long and pompous

Ady bear on Nov 23 '05 at 4:12am

that bit when he forces that kid to eat his own belly button.weird.

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:13am

I'll say, d3d. I had to watch that numerous times for my film studies class. I'm really not a fan of Peter Greenaway.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:13am

where did you see salo?

i didn't finish day of the woman/i spit on your grave. it got repetitive.

Ady bear on Nov 23 '05 at 4:15am

i got it from my local libray!

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:15am

aw man! was it the criterion collection copy?

Ady bear on Nov 23 '05 at 4:19am

i dont know what that is,it was in a plain white box with salo in big,bold black letters.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:25am

What is it with film studies classes and greenaway. I saw that too in film studies class. It's like film 101 :
DW Griffith's Birth of a nation
Luis Buñuel's Un chien andalou
Sergei M. Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin
Orson Welles' Citizen Kane
Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
Throw in a Greenaway film, quite possibly a Goddard flick like Alphaville to cover the French New Wave. Screen Easy Rider or Bonnie and Clyde for the American New Wave.

Tell me you didnt watch at least 80% of those in film class... and it doesn't matter what part of the world you are, thats almost always what is taught.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:26am

btw We had Salo on our film studies list, but it's banned in Oz and our lecturer couldnt get a copy so we mmissed out.

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:27am

Ha! I watched ALL of those. Plus a token film noir. I had to write my final essay on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, meaning I watched that over and over... *shudders*

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:28am

How could I forget film noir... oh and definetily add a Buzby Berkely (sp?) musical. I'm opening up my own film school gawd dammit!

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:30am

On a lighter note, we got to choose three films to 'analyze' throughout the course. I chose Predator, Robocop and Blue Velvet, so all was not lost. I found that if you bullshitted about hidden meanings and connotations, you'd do good.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:31am

no german expressionist?!

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:32am

and the prince himself: seventh seal.

covers philosophy too.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:32am

lol, how true. I did the same with Waters' Pink Flamingos ;)

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:32am

No. A little French New Wave, which had it's low and high points.

d3d on Nov 23 '05 at 4:34am

gah, Blue Velvet!
We had to watch a lot of David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Greenaway, Kubrick, and some bizarre russian thing called Stalker which i don't remember anything about but it wasn't awful.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:34am

No, no German expressionists.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:35am

for godard's it's most probably breathless.

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:35am

David Lynch is my favourite film maker bar none. I'll forgive him Dune.

Stalker is pretty good.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:36am

stalker over andrei rublev? nice.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:37am

I dindn't mind the french surreal movement though. Did anyone have to watch Buñuel's The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie. I actually liked that film

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:38am

I still haven't seen Tarkovsky's Solaris, although I didn't actually hate the George Clooney version.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:39am

Sorry Ady for derailing your thread (ever so slightly though, we're still talking film :) )

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:41am

did they cover japan in your film classes? not ozu but maybe kurosawa? or italy? i notice they don't get covered as much.

(& yeah, sorry, ady!)

d3d on Nov 23 '05 at 4:43am

bloody pretentious art students. i need a latte and a black turtleneck.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:44am

don't recall any japanese films, not even kurosawa. I think we had an italian film.. cant remember what it was. I loved my uni years. Miss them fondly

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:44am

Nope. Film Noir, French New Wave, Postmodernism and Auteurism.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 4:44am

d3d, i'll share my tofurkey with you.

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:44am

d3d: Most of the students in my class were SO pretentious. It made me chuckle.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:45am

lol, sorry d3d, but those were the best years of my life. And no it was Flannie's, Pearl Jam, and beer at the bar. Yay for 93!

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:47am

can't forget $2.50 chip roll!!

d3d on Nov 23 '05 at 4:48am

anyone seen Lars von Triers The Idiots? not bad but some really hate-able characters.

gerpander on Nov 23 '05 at 4:52am

Tim Roth's The War Zone is something most people probably end up watching only once. Well I have at least even thought bought the damn DVD.

d3d on Nov 23 '05 at 4:52am

i admit they were fun years. it was 94-96 for me, and the uniform was the same. pure grunge.
there never seemed to be any lack of black wearing talentless prat critics about though.

gerpander on Nov 23 '05 at 4:53am

I've seen some of Trier's dogma stuff, but they're so utterly dull that I haven't finished watching them.

eskimokiss on Nov 23 '05 at 4:54am

yeah not many here either. I went to uni at the gong. Surf, pub , and in those days grunge culture all the way.

Bramish on Nov 23 '05 at 4:56am

I really enjoyed The Idiots. True about the characters though. And yeah, most of the other dogme stuff is as dull as a foggy night in Finland.

OlliRudi on Nov 23 '05 at 5:25am

Lawnmower Man 2- Beyond Cyberspace. Awful, awful film.
the weird thing is that a small part of me kinda wants to see it again.

riverxo on Nov 23 '05 at 5:28am

but austin o'brien was cute in it! do it! watch it again!

Ady bear on Nov 23 '05 at 6:36am

i thought dogville was dog shit!
i found i heart huckabee was pretentious shite as well.

2 days later

lenabean on Nov 25 '05 at 8:06pm

jublin on Nov 25 '05 at 8:54pm
