Talk About Movies: Part 4 - Page 170 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

I have so many questions....

why was his severed foot in the grill?
why did he want it back? I assume it was too far gone to reattach
why would you just give the guy hid foot back?

Was the foot in a jar or just sitting on the grill decomposing?

They released a handful of official stills from 'DUNE' today... much excitement ensued!

You're absolutely right. I'm watching again right now on Netflix and I had been thinking of the hand where Harlan folded 999QQ to a bluff by Bad Brad because he thought that Brad had kings full, rather than the VO at the beginning of the movie where Molly says a player folded the mathematical best hand to a bluff by the Tobey Maguire character.

Hopefully the remake of Dune will be better than that first silly one.

Well, Sh*t. Another great potential down the toilet. I think, given the complicated/complex nature of the book, it should be done in a trilogy. May do the story better justice. On the other hand it may just give the producer more time to sink the story into a real cesspool.

I think purists are being too quick to judge the Dune images. I was too young to appreciate if LotR had similar doubters when it was coming out but I trust Villeneuve to be one of the best possible choices to adapt Dune.

Villenueve could dress them up like Simpsons characters and I'd run to see it.

Looks great to me.

You keep making these great suggestions, but nobody takes action.

It’s the polar opposite of Part I. How did they ruin Pennywise?

part 1 wasn't much better....they both had decent characters, decent scares, but it just all falls so flat. some of it was laughably wrong - like the scene with Jessica Chastain getting the crap beat out of her by her husband. I mean, I get that she's with a man like her father, but it was so melodramatic and completely over-the-top. I was like, "what is this? What does it have to do with the story?"

The Grand Bizarre (Jodie Mack, 2018)

Quote:

The basic description of The Grand Bizarre is this: set to a driving, minimalist electronic soundtrack, the film presents what appear to be thousands of different patterned textiles displayed and integrated into the landscape in various settings, using stop-motion and time-lapse techniques to make them continually change from one pattern to the next in a dizzyingly rapid fashion. Juxtaposed with these constantly shifting, multicolored and diversely patterned fabrics are a variety of other objects that reveal similar traits of symmetrical design, repeating patterns, and distinctly planned or engineered qualities: sheet music, tattoos, satellite maps of city blocks, and so on.

Strange and great hour long experimental movie. Won't claim to understand what exactly it's about, but I really enjoyed watching it. Eyepopping. On Mubi now and for 23 more days (7-day free trial available), recommended since it's probably gonna be hard to find a way to watch it after that. Do not watch if you have epilepsy tho.

Southland Tales (Richard Kelly, 2006)

Rewatch. Probably my 5th or 6th, and loved it maybe even more this time. Perfectly cast in all roles, hilarious, strange and beautiful. One of my favorites. Also on Mubi.

I was fairly certain I was the only person alive who had ever seen Southland Tales. It's well worth a watch, and the soundtrack is great.

I think one thing we've learned here is someone else has probably seen what we've seen. Except for La Region Centrale. I'm convinced no one here has seen it except for me.

Had anyone seen The Monolith Monsters?
