I can't remember wether aptly named al commisioned Hickocks murder or just benefited by it. He wasn't to happy about it, seemingly but then angry is his default mode
Synecdoche, New York
brilliant, mad, self indulgent rubbish, not sure what, not even sure if I enjoyed it, I think I did.
I was fucking loving it, thinking it was the best thing that had happened to my eyes and brian. It was rolling along at a cracking pace and I was lapping it all up like a hungry film eating dog. Then about half way though it started going nowhere, it got really slow and just got worse and worse until it just ended. By the time it finished I couldn't remember what was good about it.
i watched excalibur last night cos my flatmate unbelievably hadn't seen it before.
i loved it when i was about 14 - i thought all 14 year old boys were obsessed by it but it seems it was only me. it was my star wars.
it's totally ridiculous - the lighting, the pompous corny classical music, the hammy acting, the blatant (teenage boy) audience pleasing sex and gore and it's way too long, but i still loved it.
nicol williamson's bizarre performance as merlin is what nails it - it really is extraordinary and often hilarious- dropping tones halfway through sentences and sounding creepy as well. nigel terry's arthur is almost as weird - before he is king he acts all wide eyed and irish like father dougal, then he just hams it up as the king, much like patrick stewart, liam neeson et al. most of the actors seem to be deaf and just shout at each other. brian blessed is conspicuous by his absence.
I watched Scarface for the first time last night...it was brutal but I enjoyed it.
fucking love that film - watched it so many times over the years
'say hello to my little friend'
'Take a good look at the bad guy. You ain't never gonna see anyone as bad as me again'
'My name is Tony Montana, a political prisoner from Cooba.'
MILK which I loved thought Penn was outstanding as per usual.
