As one of my drill instructors once said,
“Some of y’all think I’m a morherfucker. Well, you’re right. I got kids, I got a wife, she’s their mother, and I fuck her every night!”
Or as Sledge Hammer once said, “hey, just because I gave a guy a backrub once doesn’t mean I’m a misogynist!”

Just for you BK:
Crazy Heart, 13 Assassins, Hara-Kiri (OMG!) and I DID see and love The Place Beyond the Pines. [/quote]
Funnily enough I saw Crazy Heart not too long ago, I saw The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke drunk and somehow it led me there afterwards, and I have a fairly lengthy review of 13 Assassins in the Even More Movies thread from a couple days back. Be happy to talk to you about it if you like, mostly about how great Naritsugu is as a villain, how great introducing the “yokai” assassin was and how brilliant that fight scene in the latter part was, even for how incredibly long it lasted. Yeah PBTP was brilliant wasn’t it? I have some reservations about Gosling’s Only God Forgives though, I’ve heard some very differing opinions so far.
Have not seen Harakiri though, for some benign reason it’s one of the ones I really should have seen but managed to miss it, shall watch it very soon. Man, there’s a Danish film I reviewed in the Even More Movies thread too (it’s Derek’s new one, along with 13 Assassins) called The Hunt, I expect you’d enjoy the hell out of it, if you ever have time try to find it, it’s one of my favourite films I’ve seen fresh this year.
Also, it’s way too early right now, but Takashi Miike has a new one out called Shield Of Straw that premiered at Cannes. And there’s one by Hirokazu Koreeda called “Like Father, Like Son” that won the Jury Prize, worth looking out for.[/quote]
Good stuff, BK, thanks for the recommendations, I’ll definitely adding those to my watchlist. You MUST see Harakiri. See the original version BEFORE the Takashi Miike version, but make sure you see both. Back to back is best, as they are almost, but not quite, the same story. The original is as good as the best Kurosawa movies. Yes, it’s as good as Seven Samurai. I did say that.
I am extremely excited about Only God Forgives. I am fairly certain the bad reviews stem from queasiness and little else. I like movies that make most people queasy.
Crazy Heart was fabulous. This is actually what led me to it:
[/quote]
Hell I wasn’t even aware Miike made a version of Harakiri, seems like a frontrunner in modern Japanese cinema all of a sudden, I’ll probably have to catch up on the rest of his work, I’ve not seen much outside of Ichi, 13 and Audition. That’s a lofty claim you have there, I am intrrrrrigued.
Yeah I hope Only God Forgives is good, I’m a fan of the idea around it and I can only hope that it’s just more prudish people that bashed it at Cannes, but I’m a little downtrodden by that.
I love Crazy Heart, I love Jeff Bridges. I can’t even remember one role with Jeff Bridges where I actually thought he did badly as an actor, off the top of my head, not one.
Out Of The Furnace looks like it could be real good, huge hard-on for Bale’s acting career and I always kind of appreciated Woody Harrelson.
Forgot to mention it because they’re probably less likely to jive with you as much as The Hunt or the Asian films from Cannes, but I saw both of the movies Ben Affleck has directed yesterday, Gone Baby Gone and The Town. The Town is real good, Gone Baby Gone is incredibly good. There’s a lot of reason to like both, but Gone Baby Gone is so mesmerising, it’s a neo-noir set in Boston about a kidnapped kid and two hired private detectives, I recommend both but Gone Baby Gone is my personal favourite of the two.

Did you enjoy the crazy heart soundtrack? Never seen the movie, however Ryan Bingham is one of my favorite alt country artists.
13 assassins was epic!

[/quote]
I very much enjoyed the soundtrack, though I don’t think Bingham’s performances even show up all too much on it, most of it is taken up by Bridges and a couple by Farrell, though he does perform The Weary Kind as the theme and that does show up quite a bit. There are a lot of great scenes where the soundtrack fits in perfectly, you should see the film man, you’ll enjoy the shit out of it, it’s really really good.
Man the turn from being all quiet and gentle into that final fight was something I really loved about 13 Assassins, I can’t believe he managed to get it going on for so long without being boring or fading off at all, it might be one of my favourite fight scenes in a film now, so glad I got around to finding it.

Hey raj.
That’s a potentially HUGE can of worms to open, and there are related phenomena like the misuse of surgical masks as a form of “hiding in plain sight” from society, which I believe is more often practiced by females.
A few of the issues that probably lead to this are the incredibly exacting social structure of forced conformity that is moving into an era where people now have a form of escape that has never been historically available to them until now. So those weaker or less grounded citizen who would, in the past, would have been bullied and taken advantage of, but had to at least deal with it throughout their lives, now find they can shut themselves off and avoid such treatment by retreating to the relative safety of their rooms. Combine this with a society of enabling parents (kicking kids out of the house is nearly unheard of here, outside of pretty extreme cases) and…well, I don’t want to oversimplify anything. This is one small part of a much larger issue that would take volumes to adequately cover.

I loved the soundtrack, and that’s saying something, as I despise modern country music, for the most part.
BK, you will see what I mean when you watch Harakiri. You’ll be wondering how on earth you ever missed such a jaw-droppingly great movie for so long.
After that, watch Samurai Rebellion, also by Kobayashi, and starting the impeccable Toshiro Mifune. It is probably as good as Harakiri. Yes, it is.
I do not care are mister dark ninia using Dolly whomever
