MOVIE THREADS

Roger Corman’s Not Of This Earth

Ryan Leach his outfits are fab

I saw "I'm Still Here" in the theater today. About the Brazilian military dictatorship disappearing a dissident in 1970. Based on true story. Especially terrifying in the current political context. Killer, killer soundtrack, as you could guess.

Clearing my Sunday schedule to watch Tomata du Plenty's scifi musical:

Saw the Dylan movie a week ago. It was fine. I'm kind of over slick musician biopics. At least it was at the small fancy theater that sells beer and taro gelato. The Brutalist is playing there now so think we're gonna check that out next.

Seeing this at my local theater next month. Looks dignified.

BARELY HUMAN this look's sick! will add it to my list... on the topic of German sci-fi's, watched World on a Wire recently, a made-for-TV two parter by Fassbinder about a simulation model that gets outta control, proto-Matrix stuff that i'm surprised i'd never heard of til my partner told me about it -- it ruled!

Love World on a Wire. I'm generally not too big on sci-fi stuff but have a soft spot for the lower-tech projects. Went on a Fassbinder binge a couple years ago and that was a definite highlight, alongside Lola and Fox and His Friends.

Hadn't seen Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez in ages, watched is yesterday and had a good time, even if it was a bit slower than what I remembered.

Wade T Oberlin Legendary. Even matched the interior of his Mercedes.

Some very excellent movies in this thread already. I recently watched Leos Carax's latest, It's Not Me, and yesterday I watched his first, Boy Meets Girl. I've been really into post-French New Wave French movies lately I suppose!

finally watched that wrecking crew doc, pretty fun thing to watch while stuck in bed with the flu.

Got lucky and caught World on Wire at the local art house theater a year or two ago. Anything Fassbinder is A++++++.

Will be watching these soon - both full films are on YT:

'70s Japanese Fast and Furious with jazz ST

The trailer makes it look very dramatic but it's a comedy - I watched the beginning but decided to wait until I can watch it with my waifu...
Just ran across this about the director and some good commentary on Japanese films in the west - I skipped the part about the above movie. I have heard of his "Japanese Columbo" but have to yet to watch it...
