who's seen this film? what do you make of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it was great. Unfortunatly I didn't see for a long time because the commercials made it look like a Tom Cruise film. I really dug the biblical references, thought it was kinda funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you notice the proliferation of 23s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah... That's part of the biblical refernce. Wan't there a bunch of 83s as well. Something like exodus 8:3. "Let my people go or there will be a plague of frogs". Or something to that effect. The hardware store where The Wiz kid worked was 'Solomon and Son's' ie. king solman. all sorts of funky stuff like that. |

i went with 6 people to see this movie and 5 of us loved it, the 6th slept. it was so inventive with such great roles, i recommend the soundtrack, i believe everything was written by Aimee Mann. listen to the track Save Me....absolutely beautiful. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i agree - when they all sang it, it could have been embarassing, but it was very well done |
||||||||
|

|
LeCoeur, you got some guns on you !!!!lol THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*bitty bitty bang bang* ehehhe baron i'm glad you're still SPEAKING =) yea that movie was great, you never knew what was gonna happen. i love intertwining stories that somehow all fit together. i think it would be difficult tho to see this film at home, it's almost 3 hrs long and seeing this in a theatre woulda prolly been best =) |
||||||||

|
Loved it. I'll have to rent it again sometime soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i bought it. i like how sometimes the dialogue from one scene trails into the next scene and becomes the narration. did you notice the smart kid in the gameshow had the angel wings on the wall behind him? "don't mistake children for angles" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh i'm gonna go out and buy it TODAY....i have a $3 off coupon. i have to WATCH it again. you guys have me on a mission. i missed all these little details ya'll are talking about. i'm gonna pay close attention, i'll prolly have quote from that movie later tonight =) |

no no dont get that moive if u have seen shortcuts by Robert Altaman, magnolia looks like complete shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, you like robert altman and that's the best constructive criticism you're giving? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i like the film shortcuts by robert altman which is superior to magnolia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Short Cuts is good but I don't know about it being superior to magnolia. They are movies not laundry detergents so there is no reason to compare them like that. Besides that, owning magnolia does not mean that you can't own Short Cuts. |

I saw it time ago in theater and it was quite a good experience, good film i think, full of 'subtilities' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well to put it another way i disliked magnolia didnt like it at all because of the characters i couldnt care less for , it just seemed everyone was sad about somthing and things just got worse for them,and the save me song and the frogs and the length i felt the length because i wasnt engoying this long trying hard to be gloomy movie, but shortcuts is in the same vein as this movie and the length is similer and i loved this movie all the characters were brilliant, i dont wanna argue about this petty shit i just wanna say go see shortcuts ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a cool film. Boogie Nights is good too. I hate it when people go on and on about Altman... yeah, he's good but he's not god ;o) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did altman do boogie nightS? nah i havtn seen any of his other movies just shortcuts but if he did boogie nights ive seen it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anderson did boogie nights. |
||||||||
|

would anyone here see a movie called jesus son its not religous its more like fear and loathing in las vegas i highly recommend it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to "save me" at work today |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha Le Coeur, you an old mamma |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw jesus son in blockbusters and have been intending to rent it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its great ! one of my favourite movies jesus son and it sucks that not many people have seen it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i will rent and see what i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the movie was amazing, I bought it on DVD a while ago.... I love that film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw jesus' son i didn't really care for it. i do like that actor... whats his name? i didn't like the move though for the same reason you seem to dislike magnolia; didn't care about the characters or anything they were doing. in magnolia though, its not about the characters as much as it's about the similarities in each character's philosophy on their own existances. i agree the movie is a little pretentious but as a p.t. anderson fan, it is easily, in my opinion, his best work. |

Got the DVD, got the soundtrack :-) Thought it was great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Have you all seen Requiem for a Dream? Its well harrowing. Especially as the end grows ever-closer. And that scene with women!!! Cool music too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Requiem for a dream is one of my all time favourite movies if not my favourite. Probably the only movie that really left me disturbed after I saw it. I left the theatre needing a hug soooo bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its good, very good. But is it better than Superman III? I think you've gotten a bit carried away my friend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you ever notice that when Chris Reeves was walking he was considered a joke, but when he got crippled, everybody loved him or said he was so great. what about Touch of Evil.. or Re-animator... or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh you cynic you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what did you think of the song?? i purchased the double DVD yesterday, but have yet to watch it since i was tutoring someone in MATH....uugghh. hopefully tonight. i think altman is a wonderful director...seen godsford park yet....it's brillian!! i have to agree, i really liked magnolia whilst thought shortcuts was lacking in some areas. i think it comes down to having an affinity with the characters or not. =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just love that actor with the red glasses...can't remember his name though. and also, the old man's nurse is just great, can't remember his name either.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i loved requim for a dream even more than pi the books also really good and that author has brought out alot of good books hubert selby jr i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh i meant to answer this earlier.....the older mans nurse is the actor philip seymour hoffman IMO one of the most underrated actors around! remember him in boogies nights? he had the crush on dirk diggler =) the guy with the red glasses....humm i think thats william h. macy! =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw damion paul anderson wrote the oscar nominated screen play for Magnolia......it's weird how the movie Boogie nights in connected....two of the same actors william h. macy and philip symour hoffman.....and the director is anderson....ehehhe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
phillip seymour hoffman just keeps popping up in great movies dont he the big lebowski happiness and some would say magnolia is good :p evolume the star of jesus son Billy Crudup , hes the best newcomer actor in my eyes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea that's william h macy, one of my fave actors along with steve buscemi == have you seen TREES LOUNGE? a fucking magnificent film directed by and starring buscemi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Buscemi is indeed a large-toothed genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buscemi, macy, and hoffman are all such great character actors. not that awards mean too much in the long run, but these guys deserve to be recognized for their amazing work....IMO =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just go see TREES LOUNGE if you haven't!! and the song by HAYDEN of the same name is great too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
love the movie dont like the soundtrack |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, yeah, P.T. Anderson uses a lot of the same cast in his movies. And he also said that the movie was mostly based AROUND the songs of Aimee Mann, so the movie is sort of built around the music, not the other way around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think is ok but nothing great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just an altman style rip off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you the director is trying so hard to be cool and the film ends up to be boring weak story weak caracters that it |
