hmm The Machinist sorta struck me in a few parts, left me thinkin quite a bit. Oh and Munich. That was a very powerful movie. those are just things I've seen within a few months though.

Easy Rider.

Sometimes it seemed more like an extended music video than a feature film, but I thought it was great.

That "If Six Was Five" or whatever Hendrix song was rad.

Does anyone know if that movie was the first place "Born to be Wild" appeared? It seemed so appropriate. A lot of cool shots and some crazy editing too.

"INDIANS!"

cool film. i like when 'wasn't born to follow' by the byrds is playing as they're leaving the commune.
quality. i just recently saw 'pi' which i thought was pretty cool. christ used a sample from it for his tune 'always to play' on MRM. "when i was a little kid my mother told not to stare into the sun" i think BT also used "mathematics is the language of nature" for their tune 'the fibonacci sequence'

It's funny you should mention Pi because I just watched that for the first time ten minutes ago. Loved the music. Nice to hear some Autechre in a cinematic format.

I had to wonder, though, as I watched that movie, if that film had served as an inspiration for some of the elements in Geogaddi. I saw a lot of paralells in there.

[Edit]: I hope this isn't one of those 'been explored a million times in a million threads kind of comments' but I can't remember discussing it before. Don't shoot me.

Don't get me wrong but i found 'Easy Rider' quite boring, out of time, good music score but that's it for me, sorry guys.

Hey, I don't blame you. I think it's one of those movies where you either really like it or really you don't. Jack Nicolson did a lot for me in that movie. I kind of wish that Peter Fonda had been beat to death instead.

I just seen a Flemish movie:'Iedereen Beroemd' [Everyone Famous], oscar nominee in the year 2000 for best foreign film. Very good.

The Grandmother

Found on the "Short Films of David Lynch" DVD.

Full of BoC-ish music.. very interesting to watch as well (music composed by Tractor in 1970? must find more!)

Also on that DVD is a short film of his called "The Alphabet". This must serve as the foundation for every modern day Japanese horror film.

Movie that didn't impress me: Pirates of the Carribean 2.

What a waste of five bucks.

lol...I think potc 2 is a typical sequall

thedisavowed · Post by **thedisavowed** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 6:41 pm

It had the EXACT SAME plot as the first one, only with a new prick from the homeland generating troubles for will and elizabeth and a new mystical object associated with Jack Sparrow's sordid past that they must recover in the face of more supernatural, semi-demonic resistance.

Very little acting, very little plot, very little soul.

Empire Strikes Back and Two Towers were sequels. Pirates 2 was a rehash. Which is a shame, because I really liked the first one.

I disagree 'The Two Towers' that was a very good sequel.
