better than Jan Svankmajer or The Brothers Quay?

 

[False Joe]

With the good...



Comes the fucking terrible

WTF. Bill and Ted remake.

Haven't seen The Brothers Quay, but Jan Svankmajer is great. As for which is better, I'd say it's non-comparable. Jan Svankmajer does films entirely in stop motion, which takes a shit load of effort in itself. In 20 million miles to earth, most of the stop-motion is just the monster, and not too much else. Whats great about it, is how amazingly smooth the animation is, and the great job they did of having it interact with it's environment.

Inland Empire

*waits for Alter*

it's not his best, but it's definitely his most esoteric work. For those who've seen Mulholland Drive, they really won't find anything new in Inland Empire except a slicker production and no lesbian sex (which is definitely a minus)

Both films are amazing but both are different.

The Inland Empire was great

...as for Mulholland Dr. I didn't like that one. Perhaps I need to watch it again, but when I saw it years ago I felt that it didn't really come off as a Lynch film, more so as if he tried to parody his own work. Not to mention I couldn't stand the main character! But I understand Lynch really does have a 'trademark' style that you can see in many of his movies.

yeah Jan Svankmajer is just amazing. Everything I've seen by him has impressed me. It's bizarre and funny and just awesome to watch.

I'll have to check out 20 Million Miles to Earth

Brothers Quay are pretty sweet. They're basically the inspiration to Tool's music videos. Check out The Brothers Quay film "Street of Crocodiles". Classic.

Just saw Foxy Brown, great blaxploitation film.

[NinjaGeek]

Those kids can't act worth a crap, especially in the first movie.

 

[waif]

Terrible... just despicable abuse of the fail joke.

Yeah. Sorry.

~gR~

Those movies are a guilty pleasure, but it's more guilt than pleasure.

I liked 1 and 2 when I was a lot younger, but the rest just made my eyes bleed. I did really enjoy the books, but the movies are pathetic unless you're a 10 year old...

 

[Psychonaut]

Thanks a bunch. Ichi the Killer and Audition I've already seen, the former is one of my all-time favourites.

 

[Vossyrus]

I finally watched that Sweeney Todd movie. I actually really enjoyed it.

 

[Blind Guardian]

You know what´s the creepiest scene in "Psycho"? Not the fucking shower scene but the ending scene with Bates in the cell thinking with his mothers voice. The very last seconds you see his face when he´s smiling into the camera,man he looks evil.

 

[TheAnonymous]

Yeah Sweeney Todd is a great movie. The acting is fantastic, and they really gave the atmosphere of Victorian England with the set, costumes etc.

 

[rms]

I got turned off with the amount of random killnig, just didn't seem to fit in at all

 

[rms]

I was just watching Phantasm and I noticed that the intro to one of the Municipal Waste songs is a quote from that movie

 

[Zephyrus]

Sweeney Todd was remarkably good.
