just saw it for the fourth time on BBC2 tonight.. man, the part where they kill Pauline's mother always fucks me up. when they offer the mother the last piece of cake, when they start walking down the path, my stomach turns over. and when they actually kill her.. such a great film. best Peter Jackson has done, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, you really take films seriously dont you ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well actually just saw a film that make ppl cry and laugh so i guess it can touch you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if a film is good, it hits me in the stomach, yeah.. :) when its bad, it does nothing. which is sooooo awful. which mysterious film are you talking about..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i didn't see it yesterday exactly for the reasons you mention, qrter... have already seen it 3 times or so. excellent film. i want to yell 'don't do it!!!' everytime when they walk down that path in the woods.... really fucked up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes.. breaks your heart doesn't it..? you feel for the girls - you've been a part of their fantasies. but you also still really feel for the mother - she can't help it. so in the end you opt for the mother, ofcourse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow that's exactly how i feel... i did see snippets of the film last night in which i saw the mother. pretty early on in the film. such sadness allready when she meets her daughters friend... as if she already knows it's the beginning of the end............ |
||||||||

I didn't see it. My onscreen tv listing simply said "As BBC2" and so I didn't know it was on. I watched 'Series 7 - The Contenders' instead, then turned over to see another person getting twatted to death. Quite a jolly evening all round. I would like to see this as it's the only Jackson film I've never seen but the story doesn't really interest me much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'll like it. + it has kate winslet nude, haha. right? or was that another film? anyway, the story is compelling when you're watching it. as qrter says, you get sucked into their little fantasy world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should see it. its not so much about the story as in how he tells it. with fervour, I would say. beautifully acted too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the only jackson i didnt see yet i really want to tho even if the story seems a little low |

thinking about it, I guess I think its his best because it combines his flair for visuals and great imagination (some wonderful special fx scenes in there..) with a story that has an interesting, quite deep psychological layer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually didnt really like Heavenly Creatures..maybe because I read up on the case quite a bit..and the caricature monster they made out of the mother was a gross exageration.. Visually yes the movie is stunning and it has a lot of merits..but... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes, it was based on something that actually happened? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes..it was a true and very tragic story...a bit of New Zealand's own little Southern Gothic.. |
||||||||

I loved Heavenly Creatures it was his first real accessible main stream film but his first full length movie "Bad Taste" is just so cool and really gory, as played by Peter Jackson himself. The movie is about an alien invasion of a small country town and the aliens wish to take humans away as food to serve in their fast food restaurants. There is a scene where Peter Jackson has fall down one of hills in and splits his head open on a rock, half his brains fall out and he goes around trying to shove his brains back into his head, and somehow sheeps brains are included in the mix. Much of Peter Jacksons movies are shot around my home town Wellington and some of my old punk buddies were extras in Braindead and they used one of our party houses for the filming. One of his short film that is great value if you can find it is The Valley of the Stereos and all of the musicans here would get a real kick out of it :) |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
hahaha regarding your avatar, i'm just cooking tofu with sweet and sour sauce :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah no but pot is pretty interesting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bad Taste is shite, Braindead is cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I found this badge at the ATM machine and I hate to admit I hate tofu even though I am vegetarien :) mainly because I dont know how to cook it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its 0 budget - Z grade movie but it was a blast |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have no idea how to cook tofu either - this is my first time. and i meant double speed vcr or other means of playback speed doubling, not the drug speed :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm aware it cost fuck all, I just don't like it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Red says..I was just kidding about speed but the VCR things sounds like an interesting experiment:)..just like what flea does to Jackie Chan..forwards and backwards and forwards and backwards on all of his stunts:) Red says..Jarworski..I know that Bad Taste is not for everyone but I have sentimental attachment as I knows most of the locations and a few of the people that are on there:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neetta says to red: want my tofu recipe? this is actually good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah she does :) I now have my correct email address on my profile:)..she is offering a receipe of her own invention in return..with cashews;) |

The only Peter Jackson movie I (think) haven't seen yet is 'Forgotten Silver'. Heavenly creatures surely is one of his better ones. BTW for those who DID see Frighteners (another PJ movie starring Michael J Fox): Don't you think the baddie in Frighteners looks quite a lot like a ringwraith (LOTR)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh my god jarworski... bad taste is so cool, i find it way better and funnier than braindead... i still love your avatar tho... bill muray is the king |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the frighteners is fucking awesome too i love michael j fox and the bad cop guy, so psychotic! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really disliked "the frighteners". I found the fx kind of disappointing. did like the FBI agent ofcourse.. :) bad taste is pretty good - they showed it late late LATE one night on BBC2 and then followed it with a short documentary on how Jackson made it. he built his own dolly, pretty impressive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think I maybe don't like Bad Taste cause I had it rammed down my throat by a Jackson fanboy. He insisted I buy it, then watched it with me and laughed everytime the name "Derrick" was mentioned, etc. I dunno, maybe if I hadn't given the vid to fanboy straight after it ended I would have given it another go ;) The Frighteners was an alright film, bit all over the place though really. I still find it weird that Jackson was entrusted with making LOTR. In fact, a lot of films are given to directors who hardly seem suitable at the time. Luckily there have been a few nice surprises (LOTR included). |
||||||||

|
|
well, Heavenly Creatures does show he can make quite a well-structured film.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but would you give him $300 million on the basis of it? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sure.. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

this is one hellavah movie! i purchased the DVD the first time i saw it, it was so inventive with the girls make believe world, thats what stayed with me long after the movie was over. the fact that it's a true story and unbeknownst to me i have read ann perry murder mystery novels. quite amazing that after serving her time she's now quite a popular novelist! |
||||||||
