well the dude mad Kids which I find one of the best movies ever made, another day in paradise is real good also and Bully is quite good also. Never cared much for the rest of his movies. Ken park wel yeah I am not planning of re-seeing it any time soon or ever |
Kids was written by Korine though, as I'm sure you know, so I think if anything's good about it, it's SOME of the writing, but I dunno, I think the direction was bad. Well, I don't like the whole movie at all, now that I think about it, though I guess it was important, even though it seemed like a bunch of indie movie cliches put together and made really ugly and ... rambling... sorry. Bad mood.
Anyway, Another Day.. and Bully are both tolerable, but have you seen what's up rockers? UGH! Might be worse than ken park, somehow! I've seen some of his photos though and they're cool :) |
I said two years ago I never speak about what's up rockers again after a epic rant on a other board
|
Clark sucks.
Korrine is pretty good. That's why Kids worked. |
Kids SUCKED I was the age they were"mimicking" my man was a skater i hung around with no one but skaters. That is not how REAL skaters act! It was so full of steriotypes. Yeah we liked drugs and sex and rebellion but not to such an incredulous point. The movie made people look down on skaters and treat them with more disreguard than they already get enough of. Harold Hunter RIP.
|
The best thing bout Kids is the sountrack yeah
|
the best thing about Kids is all the music in teh movie that's NOT on the soundtrack. Pfft.

I don't think it was a movie about "what skaters are like". I think it was a movie about "don't get AIDS." |
I think it was a movie about fake nihilism.

chaos theory

![]() bell from hell - 9/10 One of my all time favorites. The director killed himself on the last day of shooting, ON THE SET. |
^never heard of it.

I think I was 15 when it came out and watched it. I dnt know I liekd it a lot then. I'd probably hate it now. THe characters were stereotypical BUT that was the point. They were over-the-top ridiculous characters. Not unlike the cast of The Real World or something XTREME that was hip at the time. Y'know?
|
Well I was -2 till 7 in the 90's so mine memory of the 90's youthculture is most based on video images and stories. But kids just hit the point even been really MTV like(it was even a MTV movie), I can get all the hate but still I love it to death.
|
yeah I think it was good for what it is. It's basically our generation's REEFER MADNESS. People try to make it out to be something more than it is. It's just a "shocking" children-don't-do-THIS movie.
|
Our generation's Reefer Madness is the Room.
Reefer Madness rules btw. |
yr right. Kids is our generations version of that tv movie where Helen Hunt does angel dust and then jumps out the 2nd floor window of her highschool.
|
I was in my forties I thought Kids was trash. I didn't see it as anything more than an exploitation film. Disgusting
|
it is trash exploitation. almost as bad as doom generation.
|
I also love doom generation but it's miles apart from kids
|
Doom Generation is one of my favorite movies of all time. I honestly can't think of many films even 1% as brilliant, entertaining, and awesome as that movie. Easy 10/10. Gregg Araki is just an amazing director. and yeah it has NOTHING to do with Kids.
|
Rob only likes movies that ROCK or have asses.
|
I Just like movies that entertain without stupidity. Doom Generation was a movie about stupid people doing stupid things in stupid stupid ways, with absolutely no entertainment value other than to watch idiots do supposedly debaucherous and "taboo" things. and it was BORING
|
I never saw it.
But you do like movies about asses rocking, right? |
You think Heat and Casino are also boring, though. So, there's really nothing else to say. Anyway, the film has nothing to do with anything you just mentioned, but your take on it is funny.
Anyway, nr, you're missing out if you haven't seen The Doom Generation. Rose McGowan's tits, talking decapitated Asian heads, a truly disturbing strobe light Virgin Mary statue rape scene, and Slowdive! Maybe the most perfect film ever. Anyway ![]() scream bloody murder - Please don't watch this movie but watch the trailer which says "THIS IS THE FIRST FILM TO BE DESCRIBED GORE-NOGRAPHY." |
Oh, I FORGOT, Babyland is on the soundtrack to Doom Generation. BABYLAND! So, you've got Slowdive AND Babyland. Two of the best bands EVER!
I really do think the scene with BLUE SKIED AN CLEAR playing while Rose McGowan and that dude who married Kelly Bundy eat Doritos is probably the most beautiful scene in any movie ever. So many great scenes... just a masterpiece. |
Oh hey, nr, I watched I KNOW WHO KILLED ME the other night. There was actually something to that movie, wasn't there? I dunno what. I thought parts of it were ridiculously stupid, but some of it was shockingly effective... I thought the scene with the slicing of the arm and shit was disturbing as hell!... and the director clearly liked Argento...
Dunno how to rate it, will have to watch it again. |
Quote:
oh yeah the reds & blues were totally ... well if not Argento then Italian horror at any rate. Who directed Stage Fright & Cemetery Man? His direction came to mind when I watched it. Anyway, it really is an awesome film. People were brainwasehd like "oh LL's in and the critics said it was bad, so that's what I think" the limb-scene is really disturbing. The f'ing DRY ICE!!! So gross. (After I saw it I wanted to start a band called Dakota Moss) but yeah, I'm glad you "got it" ... I feel like I've been able to turn on a lot of people to it just by insisting "no no trust me, just watch it." too bad she's still such a wreck. I'm not even keeping up with the drama anymore. I hope Machete turns her career around. I'd be so pumped if she just got out of the drama of TMZ and just became like a Scream Queen figure who just did low budget horror and grindhouse throwbacks. oh. And she looked great with black hair. |
It really did remind me of an Americanized giallo; it was stylish and effective. Lohan as a bitchy mean girl (literally, and pun intended) was hard to take seriously at first, and "I know who killed me" as an actual line spoken by a character? Reasons alone to love this movie! Haha.
No, I dunno, just something about it, can't put my finger on it, but it shocked me at how good it was, in a completely different way. Thanks! |
yep. I felt like it was a cross between Giallo and b-movie and tv mystery. Very aquired tastes I suppose.

Just watched the Doom Generation due to all this convo, I don't like castration in my movies.
|
I just read the wiki. Says it's compared to NBK a lot. I don't know. But plot-wise there's definitely a bit of a Starkweather vibe. No? Sounds insane though.
