Miscellaneous Movie Musings

katiesue · 08-29-2009, 11:01 PM

I tried to watch Valerkrie - but then I got bored and went and took a shower. Then it was still on and I realized I didn't miss anything. So I did really try to pay attention, but I had to blow dry my hair. Then it was still on and I did sincerely try to pay attention, but I got bored and went in the other room.

On the other hand - Braveheart on BluRay is awesome. I need to go to Scotland, now.

I still want to see Valerkrie ... I think it would make an awesome double-feature with Inglourious Basterds. Ya know, the pompous, serious-mode, historically accurate Kill Hitler movie ... and the edgy, semi-comical, tense Tarantino instant-masterpiece Kill Hitler movie that throws historical accuracy to the winds in favor of fantastic wish-fulfillment alternate history.

In case you can't tell, i freaking LOVED Inglourious Basterds. Breezy even at 2.5 hours, a collection of very tense and fantastically enjoyable witty dialogue scenes, all with war suspense, but nary a battle scene anywhere. Oh, and the dialogue is 90% foreign language. And it's at once nail-biting and hysterical.

And the two music cues from Kill Bill totally cracked me up.

I love the discussion people have regarding the end of the movie Shane. Did he die or not, etc. I guess it's implied, but I love how people still talk about it 56 years later.

Me likee

1. The Fantastic Mr. Fox ("that's my trademark")
2. A Serious Man ("please, I need help")
3. Tron Legacy (two Jeff Bridges for the price of one!)
4. Bad Lieutenant (herzog's version NSFW)
5. The Expendables (no trailer as yet)
