Based on a cool quirky graphic novel that kinda tapped into that whole coming-of-age 90's snarky dark humour scene.

I didn't like it much myself but it's kinda grown on me.

Exceptional year. Mulholland Drive at number 1 really needs no explanation. Lost Highway might be my personal favorite movie of all time but there's a strong case to be made for Mulholland Drive being Lynch's magnum opus. Utterly flawless in virtually every department. Also a great year for Asian cinema with Miike delivering not one, not two but three quality pieces of work and Kim triggering the fuck out of everyone with Bad Guy. Amazing to think it'd be even more controversial now. Kim getting MeToo'd not to long ago doesn't help, either. Still totally unsubstantiated, by the way.

So many in yours I want to see, like Bad Guy, Visitor Q, The Happiness of the Katakuris and Bully.

Visitor Q and Katakuris makes for a curious double feature. One thing that always amazes me about certain Japanese movies is their ability to be perverse and poignant at the same time. Miike is especially adept at this. Hilariously wrong as Visitor Q is at times, it's really about a broken family unit coming together. Katakuris is just as frivolous albeit far less gross but again, the family element of the story is so earnest it still manages to work amongst the asinine musical numbers, zombies and claymation bits.

Hannibal is hardly garbage.

 

[jimmy101]

Hannibal is hardly garbage.

I found it to be an underwhelming film. Guess I was just expecting more from it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Garbage films.

says the guy who listed Freddy Got Fingered
