Matt 984 Posted November 22, 2012 People who scratch DVDs and return them to the library afterwards - every bone in my body is filled w/ hatred towards them to be honest. I am depressed I wasn't able to watch American Beauty in full. Every other scene was scratched. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10milestereo 228 Posted November 23, 2012 ^Heathers is in my top 10 ever. I still need to watch Jawbreaker, even though I know it will be nowhere near as good. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 984 Posted November 23, 2012 ^Heathers is in my top 10 ever. I still need to watch Jawbreaker, even though I know it will be nowhere near as good. Jawbreaker is a fun movie. I like it, and I really like Rose McGowan. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10milestereo 228 Posted November 23, 2012 She just doesn't do it for me most of the time. I loved her in The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette, but that's about it. I didn't think she'd be a good fit for Von Trier, but then again, he does have a reputation for pushing actresses in his films to their absolute limit, so I decided to give it a shot. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teethclick 898 Posted November 23, 2012 Today I watched; American Beauty Heathers Girl, Interrupted The score for American Beauty is so beautiful. What did you think of "Girl, Interrupted"? It's one of my favorite movies. I think I watched it 12 times in a week once. 0 Quote last.fm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 984 Posted November 24, 2012 What did you think of "Girl, Interrupted"? It's one of my favorite movies. I think I watched it 12 times in a week once. I really did enjoy it. The scene where Daisy hung herself was haunting, especially with "End of the World" playing in the background. It oozed loneliness and I adore the direction for that scene in particular. Overall I really did like the movie, I think Winona and Jolie really nailed the roles. Also regarding Daisy's death - this forum has made me more worried about the welfare of her cat than her. :/ Maru... Also, I thought this might be an interesting question for anyone reading this thread: Who are your favorite actresses and actors - and why? (Specific films you love of theirs, etc.) I'd love to hear everybody's favorites. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10milestereo 228 Posted November 24, 2012 Hmm, I have quite a few, but if I had to choose one, I'd probably go with Isabelle Huppert. I could probably say so on the strength of La Pianiste alone. Never before or since have I seen an actor so fully embody a character to such magnificent effect. I don't think any other actress could have played such a complex role so effortlessly. She has had a long, illustrious career, but I think her roles of the past 20 years have truly been her best. She's incredibly versatile, but I think she has a particular gift for portraying damaged, unstable characters without ever coming across as melodramatic. She is always sublime and a true master of her craft. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 984 Posted November 24, 2012 Watched "The Night of the Hunter" (1955) - earlier today, amazing film. I really recommend it. The narrative gets messy during the second half of the film though, in spots - but the visuals are beautiful and haunting. It reminds me of German films like "M." I just watched "Donnie Darko" - I'm not sure what to say, I really loved the film, and I'm trying to 'figure it out' at the moment. But I think after one viewing it might just enter my all-time favorite films, something about it really struck me 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
