Me too!
I watched The Works Of Michel Gondry - what a fantastic visual imagination he has - there was a doc about him on the DVD and nearly all his visual realisations seem to be based on his childhood memories. You can see why he was picked to direct ESOTSM.
He's a very articulate and charming fella - I liked his story about how his farting gave his girlfriend a nightmare.
He really is a unique talent - you don't often see a man being chased down the street by his own poo.
Best DVD menu ever too!

He's amazing. Despite the fact that most of his work has been on pop promo's I think he may just be one of the most innovative, visually inventive and original directors ever. There are more great ideas in a 3 minute promo of his than there are in most feature films. I don't know how many times I've watched the videos for Let Forever Be or Bachelorette, but every time I find them utterly eye-popping.

Brotherhood of the Wolf. Again. God, I love the cinematography in that film, even if it does lift shots wholesale from The Shawshank Redemption and the Scottish Widows ad(!).

One small step for me
Broken Flowers by Jim Jarmush. A few nice moments but overall a total waste of time for all concerned.Very glad I didn't bother going to the cinema to see it.

'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe' (Le Grand blond avec une chaussure noire). A great French spy spoof from the early 70's.

The In Kraut
A double feature of It's Alive and It Lives Again. They were low budget monster movies from the 70's and while the monsters themselves (killer babies with fangs and claws who turn out to be the next step on the evolutionary ladder) are a bit of a letdown, the writing and acting in cult director Larry Cohen's films was always much better than could be expected. Had never before seen the second film, which is actually a vast improvement over the original. Still have to see the third film in the series.

To the Bat-poles!
Saw 'Hostel' over the weekend. It's just another modern horror film that tries to emulate classics of the '70s (Chainsaw, Last House etc) but ends up being neither scary or even particularly interesting. The last 20 minutes are vaguely exciting but that's about it...

Aggreed, this guy is amazing, what a wonderful DVD it is and it does indeed have the best menu ever.
The Spike jonze one show him up for the posh no talent toss bag that he is.
Made - the Jon Favreau directed movie with him and Vince Vaughan basically reprising their characters from Swingers, but in a wannabe gangster milieu. Pretty good - you have to admire Vaughan for being willing to be portrayed as an utter cunt in so many movies 
Great turn from Peter Falk, even P Diddy isn't bad.

Sex is Zero -
Koreas highest grossing film ever I'm told. Supposed to be a American pie type thing. Not amazing and mostly depressing, rather than funny. All the puke funny bits like eating fried spunk were a bit random. Apparently the funniest thing in Korea is being caught wanking.
Shall we dance -
American remake, strangely not bad at all. Mind you as a married man I don't like that the lead was tempted to at least start dancing by thoughts of some kind of adultery.
I cried.

memento - it's a quite good idea well presented (even if they rush things a bit here and there so that we won't notice the little logical flaws)
although anterograde amnesia is usually be a lot more terrifying than that for the sufferer because they aren't aware they have it.. cos they keep forgetting.. d'oh!
the bbc horizon programme about Clive Wearing is altogether more involving and disturbing.

He seems to think he is an ideas man but that walken ones idea was 'lets have walken in a video'. It was walkens idea to dance and then the dop made it look nice and some other guy filmed it. He doesn't seem to do much on his own video past the shit quirk idea. Gondrey pisses on him from a great hight, he has great concepts backed up with creativity, talent and a technical understanding of the whole film making/effects process.Orang Utan said:
Spike Jonze is a cunt who likes to spell hiz name with a z. Twat. Him and no-talent posh spaz coppla were made for each other.

What happened to Dubversion ?
Wolf Creek - nothing new really, hitchhikers get picked up by psycho killer, the usual half arse cliches, except this time they get killed and the killer gets away with it

40 year Old Virgin....very poor film and equally poor 'my fathers den' ..

This afternoon (before 'Neighbours') I watched 'La Jetee'. Can't wait to watch 'Sans Soleil' now.

Schoolkids take local bully on a trip down a river to teach him a lesson, then as they see he's not that bad really they change their minds, and then one of them kills him anyway. Then they anguish over 'what they've done' and 'doing the right thing'.
Alright I spose.
