Don't like the taste of your own medicine, eh? So you're going to run to the mod and grovel. Pathetic. :rolleyes:

i am so beyond the point were you could ever annoy me. i know you aren't real, i know you are some sort of parody. if not then your personality is a parody that you have mistakenly taken on as real, and that's a horrifying thought, leaving only pity to stifle my revulsion.

i just want you banned so that you don't continually bring the mood down with your existance. your posts are like shit on the screen that merely needs to be wiped off but is still a nuissance.

I do find it amusing how westernquinox was banned almost immediately every time he joined, even though at least a few people found him amusing.

Not a single person on the board likes Keeping It Simple, and yet...

quinox is one of the best posters. at least what he did was funny. i was never the target of it but even if i was i hope i'd still be able to admit that it had comedy value.

Have you always been this brazenly hypocritical?

Robert Rodriguez has several excellent movies.

Sin City top among them.
Spy Kids was GREAT. If I was 12 when that shit came out it would have been so cool
the first El Mariachi is still awesome. I watch it in spanish at least once a year

I will agree that Spy Kids is his best film. Still doesn't mean he's better than 5000 starving indie directors at the top of my head that no one gives a fuck about.

Here's a good film:

you know the way in cinemas your watching a reel of film and its all still pictures - there is a quote somewhere (maybe godard?) about how on tv you don't get this, and the real power of film lies in the the fact you are watching still images with a short imperceptible black gap between each one of them. this is apparently supposed to affect the brain differently.

i'm wondering - is there a some way to recreate this on a computer for example? some sort of software that would insert a black gap between individual frames of a video in such a way to recreate the true cinema experience.

On movies that have already been made? I'm not sure. But if you're shooting footage, you could always put it into virtualdub, extract the frames into individual jpegs, go into windows movie maker, and paste whatever frames you want into it, and then choose the duration of the individual frames, and put a black space in between them. There's probably other ways to do this but that's probably the most interesting way.

television is comprised of frames also? or are you talking about something else related to it?

no no, television isn't - but films in the cinema are.

television is inded comprised of frames.

oh ok - but the way it is transmitted makes it different and you loose the blank gaps, i assume so anyway.

i remember vaguely it had something to do with alpha waves affecting the brain or something

wonderfully wicked.

omg YOU!!!!!

Everything's comprised of frames, n'ik was talking about how cinema runs at 24fps on a film projector. You're essentially looking at tons of pictures put together. On television, everything's been transferred to digital versions, and cleaned up, so it isn't the same.

TEETH rules.

TV is still frames. digital frames

the only thing continuous is real life

3 people have said that now.

Magnolia - never seen this before, it's actually really good! Reminds me of a better version of Short Cuts. 8/10

just me three times

The only thing that I don't like about this film is Marty's sudden hatred of being called "chicken". It feels forced and unrealistic, especially since there is not even the slightest mention of this in the first film.

Other than that, this is my favorite film of my favorite trilogy. Hollywood at it's best.

ew, you can see michael j. fox's little dick in his jeans

I watched "Repo Man" for the first time since high school last night when I got out of my exam.

That could very well be a sly nod to James Dean's hatred of being called "chicken" in Rebel Without A Cause.

Possibly. I wouldn't know, I've never been much of a James Dean kind of guy.

The first half and a bit more is fantastic. The last 30 minutes or something like that isn't as good. 8/10



Giulietta Masina is fantastic. 8/10



At times really beautiful, but I should have watched it with something else as the soundtrack. 7/10

Really, you didn't like the soundtrack? It was perfect, imo, and I'm not a glass fan.. actually, I think Koyannisqatsi is a perfect film, period.

Philip Glass is way too samey and boring. It seems the minimalism is just an excuse for him to be lazy most of the time... I love Glassworks though! That's his best.

I found the soundtrack to be quite boring and too, I don't know, repetitive. I don't like Philip Glass. At times it did fit well with the pictures, but mostly it just felt dull.

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Break

I can't believe how horrible it was. How did that get fucked up? Ti West directing. The story's already there. Gussepe Andrews. And yet it managed to be a total trainwreck.

NO ONE lookd like they wanted to be there. So funny.


twentynineplams - 6/10


american pimp - great

bam, herzog / cage did it, at least in my book

:( damn

Part of 500 Days of Summer.

It's like a memory that never happened. Fuck that shit.

this is one of the worst films i've seen in a long time, it was hard watching it all the way through and not scary one bit.

1/10
