Hey UK people, pre-order Andrzej Zulawski's last movie Cosmos on DVD. Out October 10th!
Some more cool Zulawski related news, one of the last scripts written by Zulawski called "Language of the Birds" (written before Cosmos) has just been given funding. Its being made by four directors, one of which is Zulawski's son Xawery.

Probably my favourite Steven Spielberg film.
interesting, i haven't seen that one. from the 17 (yikes) that i have seen i reckon RAIDERS... is probably his masterwork (although i love LAST CRUSADE just as much tbh), but my personal favourite is always gonna be JURASSIC PARK. no point tryna talk me out of that one.

I change my mind, it didn't hold up like I thought it would. So scratch that, haha. The last time I watched it was probably ten years ago.

have you ever seen his debut DUEL? i watched that one for the first time pretty recently, it's not the most subtle thing thematically but i really liked it just as a hitchcockian suspense film.

If I'm a cunt to wankers like you I'm obviously doing something right.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I'm watching this movie Embrace of the Serpent, and I paused it just to say how BEAUTIFUL this film looks. Holy shit. The prettiest B&W film ever. It's an amazing film, full thoughts coming up.

Excellent film. I think Richard Matheson of I Am Legend fame wrote the script. Watched that and The Duelists back to back a few months ago, hard to say which I like more.
Munich was pretty good.

Had this on my hard drive for a while now, been meaning to watch it. Kind of put off by the B&W visuals tbh - colourless makes sense to me in a noirish urban environment, but in the jungle?

interesting, didn't know that! although i think the script is probably the worst thing about it tbh. it's like pseudo-peckinpah or something.
folks who like DUEL should check out FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE (by the great joseph losey), similar except trade the emasculated everyman for a pair of escaped convicts (one played by malcolm mcdowell) and the truck with a shadowy police helicopter. it may be the better film actually, has a more mysterious existential feel to it while still working as a tense genre flick.

Yeah, but I guess you don't really watch a film with one actual character and a faceless trucker maniac antagonist for the high quality dialogue, lol.
