What was the last movie you watched?

[Tripe]

Wild Strawberries makes me cry, as does Fanny and Alexander but I have a hard time not thinking of Deconstructing Harry when watching Wild Str. - haha

Yeah, Allen's 'homagery'  is pretty blatant with that one.  I must confess, I've only ever seen Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries but I loved them both - Strawberries more, because it was relatable - but I did have a problem with them that I still can't seem to get over: The language.  The sing-song way in which the Dutch language is spoken is completely different to any other accent I've heard and for me, it's really off-putting! Talk normal! 

Dutch?

Whoops.  Silly oversight on my part.  Though, honestly, many of the Scandanavian countries seems kinda interchangeable. 

Er ,Holland is Scandinavian?

I personally can't think of a more boring way to spend 2 hours than watching the Seventh Seal.

Thank you.  I consider myself a film buff, but movies like these, well....they might be literary, influential, and important, but that doesn't mean they're enjoyable.  I found it a total chore to get through.  Now that I think about it, I don't think I even finished it.

The last movie I watched was Unforgiven (in HD).  Totally awesome flick, a wonderful examination of violence, revenge, and friendship.

I liked the Seventh Seal, it's a reflective piece rather than entertainment though.

My last movie night: The Wild Women of Wongo and Gilgamesh Vol 3

My Ingmar Bergman marathon continues with Smiles of a Summer Night, the least Bergman-esque Bergman film I've ever seen. Not just the fact that it's a comedy and Bergman is famous for his heavy dramas, but it has one of the biggest casts in a Bergman film (Bergman leans towards smaller cast) and there is a score through the entire film (most of his films use music sparingly). It was... eh, it was alright, just alright. I'd only suggest it for the hardcore Bergman fans.

I can understand that, it's definitely not the kind of movie pop in 'just for fun'.  I feel the same way about "Nobody Knows" - you ALL MUST SEE THIS.  It's amazing!  It is sad, and it's not the kind of movie you watch over and over, but it's very rewarding when it's all over.  It's recent, I think 2004/2005.  Rent it!

I just watched the documentary Lenny Bruce: Without Tears.... it was so goddamned depressing watching one man try to be broken for going against the grain of the times. Apparently freedom of speech didn't matter too much if you offended people back then. Not a very good documentary, but it gives you some insight to how things were at one time.

[gbeenie]

You might enjoy the fictionalized version, Lenny, a bit more.

[BathTub]

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, quite enjoyed it actually, the Giant Squid was better than I expected.

Didn't need to see Kurt Douglas wiggle his butt though.

It's not? *looks up*  Ah.  Well that explains the mark I got in Geography.   

Anyways, the last film I saw was Sambar Salsa.  An Indian/English film about cultural differences.  It was rubbish.  Incompetent in almost every way, bar a couple of half decent performances, it was so bad I laughed practically all the way through.

[Variety of Cells]

My Ingmar Bergman marathon continues with...

Let me know when you get to Cries and Whispers or Persona.  For some reason, no one mentions those when they start talking about Bergman.  It's always the Seventh Seal. 

[GregMcduck]

Persona is next in line, in fact.

[Compound]

7th Seal rocked. Best personification of death ever.

I think you spelled "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" as "7th Seal" there.

(Yes, yes. I know.)

[Compound]

My last film?

Phone. A Korean film about a vengeful ghost  haunting cell phone users. It was better than it sounds. (I still don't get the Asian "ghosts will kill pretty much everyone they come across" thing though.)

The film currently sitting in my DVD player? Bloodrayne 2. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Yep. Congressman Gary "I probably didn't kill my intern, but I'm going to act so suspiciously that everyone will think I did" Condit is in the film as well.
