MOVIE THREADS

Al Dorado

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.

Gimmie Sopor If you're looking for a legit '80s arthouse punk movie, check out the German dystopian sci-fi flick Decoder on YouTube. Featuring Einstürzende Neubauten's F.M. Einheit as an anti-hero noise musician and prominent counterculture figures such as William S. Burroughs and Genesis P-Orridge in supporting roles.

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.

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

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!

Randall

Mor this looks like a good one. Gonna watch World On a Wire once I finish cleaning my office

11th hour stubble

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

Mor

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...

The Warners Classic official YouTube channel has been putting up some full film bangers. Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Madeline Kahn & Richard Fucking Roundtree in a neo noir.

Rapid Adapter

Warners Classics also has the 24 hour Tom & Jerry livestream, which is perfect to leave on mute on the TV while you're doing other shit. No dialogue means you ain't missing anything.

I saw the new Captain American Eagle flick.

…

It was nice to be back in the Bagdad theater.

Saw Becoming Led Zeppelin at the little art house theater this evening. I'm not much of a fan but it was good. Over two hours but didn't feel like it was that long.

At one point there was a photo shown of a marquee with Country Joe and the Fish headlining over LZ. I inadvertently made an audible "ugh" sound. I think people heard me

Randall

Al Dorado I want to go see it tomorrow but I’m gonna go IMax if at all possible. Went and saw Wild Zero tonight at the Hollywood. It’s been over 20 years since I’ve last seen it. I really hope they find a way to make Wild Zero 2. This trailer is insane

Al Dorado

Randall The art house sells beer and fancy gelato. Also no previews. Lights go down, movie starts. There's also a good dive bar a few blocks away if one is up for it
