it's a really good movie and the ending is great, but it really isn't a movie "before its time" at all. rather, it hearkens back to the paranoid conspiracy thrillers of the 70s that came out in the era of watergate, such as the parallax view (which is a must-watch if you haven't yet).

I was referring more along the lines of hollywood allowing the ending. 99% of movies would have this seem like the most anti hollywood ending the audience could get. I guess terrorism is like the icing on the cake about it

and i was referring specifically to the ending too. if one were inclined to be generous, one might say the ending of AR is an homage to TPV; if one were inclined to be less so, one might say the ending of AR is a rip-off of TPV.

Okay cool. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm sure if the storyline is anything close to AR I'll find it interesting and worth watching

I'm getting four movie posters framed and putting them in my computer room. I've settled on the first three:

Heat, Alien, Lawrence of Arabia

The first three are favourites of mine and I think certain cuts of their posters look great. I'm not picky on old or new, and it can be a super iconic/common poster too. Too bad I think a lot of some of my favourite movies don't have very good posters. I'm having trouble settling on the fourth.

Any suggestions, lounge?

I have 2 framed movie posters in my TV room: Casablanca (my all-time favorite movie) and The Maltese Falcon which I think pairs well with Casablanca.

The wood mounting is the way to go. I've got 5 movie posters that are wood-mounted. It makes it look so much better.

Here's a couple of the ones I picked for my basement.

Joan Cusack. Terrific movie.

Live and let die

I normally wouldn't share this with other people, because I'm generally selfish, but these are the best movie posters in the world: http://www.polishposter.com/

personally, I love vintage Porno movie posters.

they are just Titillating enough to hang publicly.



Loni Sanders was great...

Here is another one I have

^Had to Google that. Couldn't remember what movie that was for. Thought it was for The Golden Child at first. Trading Places, of course. Classic Polish interpretation

Ghost Movies

The Shining
Amityville Horror
Poltergeist

Thoughts on The Devil's Backbone?

Devil's Backbone was pretty damn good. I'd give it 4/5

Anyone see Nymphomaniac yet?

I know it's not in theaters yet, and it's only the first part that the US will see in a couple of weeks for a bit. But, it's certainly worth talking about when it finally sees the light of day.

I'm seeing Nymphomaniac Vol 1+2 on Monday. Guess I should brush up on Lars von Trier

Any reviews of Grand Budapest Hotel yet? Is it as good as it looks?

That is an awesome movie poster and it being for Trading Places makes it even better.

Devils Backbone is great. The Unborn is another good one I'd recommend. Shutter is an asian film that is another great ghost flick as well.

Andrei Rublev: Everything Russian feels like it about 10 years older. This movie feels old even though its not that old. Love the camera work. Captures Russian culture better than his other flicks. Pretty racy film for that era, particularly with an anti religious government at the time. Though the subject matter may seem boring, this film is entertaining (and its like 3.5 hours). I love it when directors tell a story and don't forget about the "art" aspect of proper filmmaking. Next I will watch Stalker.

Wolf of Wall Street: I'v seen this movie three times, only the first two times it was excellent. Once titled as Goodfellas, once as Casino, and now the latest reiteration Wolf of Wall Street. Scorsese should have hired Sorkin and made a three hour film that takes place at the restaurant table featuring nothing but dialogue between McConaughey and DiCaprio. Or he could have just confined this film to its first 5 minutes and looped it 36 times. He would have had the same 180 minute film, only production costs would have been cut by about 36x. We get it; Wall Street guys live extravagantly, maybe next time make a movie if you have an actual story to tell?

I didn't see this "lately" but I HATEDMoonrise Kingdom. So I am totally pumped for Grand Budapest Hotel given that its been 7 years since I've seen a proper non animated Wes Anderson film.

I would argue Fantastic Mr Fox was 'proper', despite being animated.

"Hate" when talking about a Wes Anderson film is still bizarre when I hear/read the words. There are some I enjoy less than others but never walked out without a smile on my face. I cannot wait for The Grand Budapest Hotel. I hope we get it in my city, otherwise I have to travel a great distance to see it.
