Re: Suggest a movie!

Dude. I feel really old now. Thanks a bunch.

On the subject of drinking games, I'd vote for a film that's a little less likely to put people in hospital with alcohol poisoning.

EDIT: Trey, who beat me to the post button, is right.

I'm put in mind of … oh, god, which one was it. There was one commentary where it sounded like you, Teague, were really gonna be hurting in the morning. Princess Bride, maybe? I can't remember now.

Whichever it was, it was a fifty-fifty split between really funny and "wow, I hope he's okay."

It wasn't bad or anything, I don't think. I just hoped you had a ride home. And a big glass of water and a couple aspirin.

Always? I thought I remembered hearing you'd done roadshows.

Either way, drinking game yes, overdoing it no, live show yes, pictures of you and Brian and Dorkman gettin' it on hells yes.

Any other polls being taken at the moment? I'm feeling opinionated.

You should do "The Book Of Eli." This is a film that STARTS with a character literally killing a cat.

Is it out on DVD yet? I was interested in seeing it. But not $12 interested.

I remember Duellists being really good, I should revisit that one.    It's also notable because it was the first feature from a promising young  commercial and TV director named Ridley Scott.   His second movie was something about an alien.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I didn't have time to wade this entire thread, so apologies if this has been said 1000 times, but... with Trey in the house, I'd REALLY like you guys to commentarize:

- Dark Crystal (one of my favourite movies)
- Labbyrinth   (less so, but, hey, puppets wink )

We talk about Cube at the very beginning of Alien 3.

I already made a suggestion to Teague through twitter but he recommended I join the forums so here I am.

Last night I was watching the new Pelham 123 and thinking about Tony Scott's visual style and editing and I thought: "in the hands of a  less-skilled director and team, all this MTV/music video editing and shots would feel like complete egocentric Director excrement. In the hands of Tony Scott though, it feels rich and kinetic"

Pelham 123 was by no means a stunning and great film but it had it's moments and I feel it did represent Tony Scott's style. I began to wonder what the DIF team would say regarding T Scott's visual, audible choices.

I would love to hear a commentary for Man on Fire. At first I wasn't going to recommend it, because I'm sure that the whole DIF team will filmgeek gush all over it as I do, But I feel that it represents his style better than any other film.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I wanted to clarify something. By "Tony Scott style" I mean his visually crackling movies like Domino, Enemy of the State,  Deja Vu, Taking of Pelham 123, and even the TV show numbers.

I wasn't talking about common themes and looks.
Lighting conditions, amber sunsets, cigarettes and satin sheets... These are things from his earlier films and while I love 'em, I really want to hear thoughts on the way he films, edits, scores and grades his films now.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I'm sure it's been recommend before but I'll double recommend it again. I agree with Trowa, Cube would kinda be an awesome commentary, i think it fits in perectly with the "motto" you guys had in Constantine, awesome movies that no one knows about. I think Cube fits the bill.

I like Cube a lot, especially for its clever low-budget thinking.   They devised a feature film that could be shot entirely on one set, and managed to keep it interesting the whole time.

While I don't love absolutely everything about Cube, it's smarter and more intriguing than many genre movies with ten times their budget.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Has it been enough pages since I suggested "Joe vs. the Volcano" that I can bring it up again?

(Actually I don't remember if I ever suggested "Joe vs. the Volcano." I just know I intend to keep doing it as often as I think I can get away with it.)

I liked that movie. And not just for its use of "Sixteen Tons."

Re: Suggest a movie!

It was Ray Charles' version of "Old Man River" that did it for you, wasn't it?
