Something Snares was saying over on WATMM just made me think of this film... Anyone seen it? I remember another film with James Duval - Was set in some high school with this alien going around killing his friends - Anyone that one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What was he saying? "Hello everyone please buy my 67 albums due for release by the end of the year" Nah I ain't never saw that film squire |

i thought this was going to be about the goth teen angst movie "the doom generation".. one of the movies i've been wanting to see for years but strangely enough no stores stock it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that is what it is meant to be about along with the Robert Duval alien in a school film which i haven't saw either. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
James Duval is in The Doom Generation.. I think that's the movie he meant... |

have you seen gummo or crumb? those are 2 more i've been wanting to see for years but can't locate in rental stores. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gummo is soooo good. Definatly one of my favorite movies... You must have crappy video stores... |
||||||||
|

i do. blockbuster and hollywood video and since i don't live in an "arty" area (i actually live in a pretty poor area that's mostly ethnic or african-american) they don't carry too many out-there films. i'm lucky my college has some for 24 hour borrowing, but not everything i want. i might just buy gummo since people talk so highly of it, but crumb and the doom generation i'll just keep checking stores.. |

Yeah I was refering about the Greg Araki movie actually. I can't believe it's so hard to get hold of over there! You can get them on Amazon apparently... Seriously well worth seeing, all of his movies. http://www.angelfire.com/az/gregaraki/index2.html Found out the other one's called Nowhere. |

Good movie...very very dark and disturbing. Quite similar to Requiem For A Dream in tone, not content. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did see nowhere, didn't care a whole lot for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nowhere isn't as good... kinda lame actually I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw it when it first came out.. maybe in '95 or 96 i thought it sucked wank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And the doom generation is nothing like requiem for a dream... sooo different. not even the same feel .. not in the least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you prefer requiem for a dream then? It didn't really do that much for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought requiem was really good. |
||||||||

Yeah, a lot of my mates really rate that film - I just didn't really click with it so well. Not really into any of the cast or the overall look of that one - Interesting ideas though - Although I didn't really like the way they did those drug-induced hallucination bits... Now THE TRIP! Anyone seen that one?! It was only recently unbanned, was actually made in the 60's... That's got some of the best acid induced hallucinations of any film I've ever seen. In fact, apart from the first five minutes, the whole film is an acid trip. That film's got some of the best scenes I've ever seen in any movie - I don't think anyone who hadn't taken a lot of acid would get it atall though... |

ehhh doom generation... i saw that like 3 years ago... i thought it was horrible... but, that was 3 years ago... so maybe i just didnt "get it" at the time... but i thought it was a pile of poo poo |

requiem was brilliant; so was mullholland drive, probably the two fucked up movies i've seen recently. anybody seen life of david gale recently? brilliant movie. awesome ending. |

I liked both films... ofcourse requiem has more emotion. I love rose mcgowan so the doom gen was one of my favs... |

quite to my surprise i found it last night in a 95 cent rental store... i really enjoyed this film! at first i thought, wow this is some terrible acting and stiff dialogue, but it got better. i saw the unrated director's cut, and at least this version was rather daring and also very realistic (the way they talk as well as the teenage meaningless promiscuity and senseless criminality). the ending was the most daring thing of the film. very wicked and quite sad. so all in all, this was a lot better than i expected all these years. |
||||||||
|

|
|
That ending is absolutely insane! hehe That's why Snares suddenly reminded me of it.. he was talking about Nazi's and anal sex (hehe) and Doom Generation just sprung to mind! There's just something about the whole style and feel of Araki's movies that I love. Glad you digged it anyway! |
