Movie

Gangs of New York on AMC last night. I guess I liked it, for the most part. Would have been better if I could have understood more of what the heck they were saying.

one of my all-time favorites. the dvd's have a little dictionary section...quite amusing. prim stargazer.

Mr. Brooks is on the Lifetime Movie Network now. Good flick.

Great flick!

I watched the Big Lebowski the other day too, forgot to mention that. Comments of approval aren't necessary, everyone knows its an all-time classic.

Pulp Fiction on AMC. First time I saw it was my first QT movie, and I had had a bunch of beers beforehand. Took me a couple of non-beer viewings to get it. Now it's up there on the list.

I didn't care for Pulp Fiction. But then agree, I don't care for QT. I'm not interested in violence for the sake of violence. Kill Bill was enjoyable, though but I don't have the desire to watch it again.

Equilibrium is about to happen.

[Chefpatrick871]

meh, commercials. Popping in Sin City

[Dickie Dunn]

Equilibrium is about to happen.

I really really really hated that movie. I had to give it the Mystery Science Theater treatment to even make it through the entire thing.

Watched American Psycho last night on IFC.

You like Huey Lewis and the News?

They're ok.

[Idoit40fans]

I put Dark City on instead.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

My favorite line from the movie always seems to get overlooked.

Patrick? Is that you?
No Luis. It's not me. You're mistaken.

Is that a raincoat?!

Ha, love it! Also the serial killers view on women, priceless.

My favorite lines seem to get overlooked too.

I love "I'm leaving. I've assessed the situation and I'm going."

In fact, thats my favorite scene of the movie.

"I know that your friends are my friends and I've thought about that. You can have them."

[Dickie Dunn]

Is that a raincoat?!

Yes it is!

Ha, love it! Also the serial killers view on women, priceless.

Do you know what Ed Gein said about women?
The maitre'd at Canal Bar?
No. Serial killer. Wisconsin. 50s.

Hilarious line that is unfortunately wrong. That wasn't the infamous Ed Gein's view on women. It was actually Ed Kemper, the co-ed killer, who targeted female college students. Funny stuff nonetheless.

I love "I'm leaving. I've assessed the situation and I'm going."

"I know that your friends are my friends and I've thought about that. You can have them."

Indeed. The entire movie is hilarious, but the more nuanced lines tend to get overlooked.

I've always been a big fan of "When I get to Paul Allen's place, I use the keys I took from his pocket. There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park and is obviously more expensive than mine. I calm myself and move into the bedroom, where I find his suitcase and start to pack."

And though its definitely not a nuanced line that tends to get overlooked, I love when Bateman lists everything wrong with the world.

"Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people."

Has anyone else ever read the book? The book is far more disturbing, very graphic, and can be quite disgusting, but you get a better sense of Bateman's deteriorating mental state. I enjoyed it, but prefer the movie. In fact I highly doubt I would have liked the book at all without seeing the movie beforehand.

dark city
equilibrium... not so much. pretty good action in it, but i can't get past the idea where in a world in which emotions are outlawed, the criminals of the city sit around looking at art and crying. like that's the only way to appreciate art...

[Idoit40fans]

Yeah the book is sweet, but I agree that the movie is better. That line about Paul Allen's apartment is definitely another amazing one.

When they're at dinner, he says something like "Oh Africa Brave Africa. it was a laugh riot."

[Idoit40fans]

I love equilibrium, I don't remember anyone sitting around looking at art and crying in it. Did they even show people actually "sense offending" in the movie other than Preston? The arrests were for people having art of some form. Now i'm tempted to go watch that instead.

The scene in the book with the rat and the tube is one of the most disturbing things Ive ever read. I've read it a couple times over, the man is absurdly talented.
