The last movie I saw was Nosferatu with Lon Cheney. That background music still haunts me and will always stand the tests of time.

The Andromeda Strain. It's a sci fi film from the 70s about the US government's response to the outbreak of a virus from space. Visionary.

That movie was appalling.
I recently watched Walic and Gromit, very funny.

If they have the third one, you can watch that. It has *NOTHING* to do with the first one, and you need to know *nothing* about them.
I saw the 1972 version of Solaris, which was amazing. Has *anybody* else in the entire universe ever seen it? Because, I've been asking around, believe me, and it just doesn't seem like it. Come on people, George Clooney is disgusting. Wouldn't you rather watch some obscure Russian actors do this awesome movie?
...Which was truly awesome, by the way. And I really recommend seeing it, the way it explores the topics of faith, reality, and illusion. Of love, where it comes from... Of humanity, and what we're really looking for... It was beautiful. Just beautiful. Ten. Even though it was really long. You just have to look for meaning in every drawn out shot. Because it's there: This movie is *packed* with meaning.

The Andromeda Strain is yet another book I own but have not read. Sigh. So many books, so little time...and motivation.

Mmm, yes I think the video place had the first and second sequels, or the second and third films in the series, however you want to say it. I'd still rather see the original first, but I suppose I'll take what I can get.
I think my parents rented the original Solaris a couple months ago but I didn't watch it. I have to be in the right mindset or I can't sit through a film. And I have a bad habit of not wanting to watch something unless I picked it out; since my family has an MVP pass at Hollywood Video I can just return whatever it was someone else rented and get things that I've been meaning to see. Sometimes I do watch other people's picks, if I'm in the mood to watch 3 movies in a row or I'm bored and tired of the computer/reading.

I watched The Fog..yesterday and today. It wasn't as jumpy-like the second time though.

I watched a Japanese film with the English title Nobody Knows (I didn't catch the Japanese title) and about half of some movie my mom rented,
Smile, last night. Nobody Knows was really good and I reccomend it. It kinda sorta reminded me of Grave of the Fireflies, but it's live action and the plot is completely different.
I'm pretty ambivalent about Smile. It starred the now-teenaged actress who played the little girl who got kidnapped in Along Came a Spider, whose acting is only so-so. I would like to find out what happens to the Chinese girl with a facial defect, though.

I should rent the original. I think the last time I watched it I was 12 years old or something thereabouts.
@Loy: Ooh, yeah, I want to see A History of Violence so hard, man. Hopefully it will run at one of the few small independent cinemas around here, but if not I guess I have to wait until it's out for rent. I don't think it's the kind of film that would make it to the huge multiplexes, in this area at least. I guess you could call me a Cronenberg fan, though by no means am I an expert on the man or his work.

Oh, damn..I didn't know that The Fog was a remake. Now I feel really young.

Teapot-of course I've seen "Solaris" (I love Tarkovsky). However, I think you were talking about "Stalker" because "Solaris" was boring as hell. Come one, how many times can a train pass the same spot over and over again? No, "Stalker" was "Solaris" done right (on earth rather than space, and more enigmatically). Though I do love the novel.

Yes, and it starred Jamie Lee Curtis. Don't feel bad, it's not like you had any control over when you were born. Sometimes I feel old, like when I'm around my 16-year-old friends -- [random unrelated rambling] For some reason I have very few friends that are my age or older and I don't see them very often so I'm almost always around younger people, which really puts a damper on my sex life. [/random unrelated rambing] -- but compared to the rest of the world population I still feel like a kid. And I'm too young to legally buy or consume alcohol in the Yoo-Ess-of-Ay; in fact I still will be until November 2007.

I knew I could count on you Loy
But I thought Solaris was good! Just you know... every single shot was about 20 seconds too long... but, when I stop to think about it, the over-artsy-ness of it sort of was good. Like, he made it so you COULD NOT ignore that car scene where they're all driving nowhere- the point is driven into you so hard it's impossible to say "it was just a car scene" or something.
But I haven't seen stalker... I'll totally have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Teapot-As you're probably well aware of, I have no problems with over-artsy films (hell, most of my reviews are overlong wordplays over over-artsy films.....and lots of trashy ones for balance). I just couldn't connect with "Solaris" the same way I could with "Stalker". However, I'd also like to suggest Tarkovsky's other works ("My Name Is Ivan", "Nostalgia", "The Mirror" (where my friend Kevin nailed in describing as "most films strive to be poetic, but The Mirror is poetry"), "The Sacrifice", and if you've got 12 hours to spare, "Andrei Rubelov"). Just out of curiosity, what did you think of the Soderbergh remake of "Solaris"?
Soggy-I'd suggest "Videodrome" (get the Criterion edition if possible), "Dead Ringers", "Crash" (uncut, which means don't go to Blockbuster or Hollywood), and "The Dead Zone" in that order. I'd also suggest the works of Michael Haneke, who's also a philosopher of film the way Camus was a philosopher of literature. "The Seventh Continent", "Benny's Video" (unsure if it's available yet, but try anyways), "Funny Games" (which a few of my friends consider the most fucked up film ever, one of whom saying "and this is why we should nuke Europe"), "The Piano Teacher" (where he out-Kubrick's Kubrick), and "Time Of The Wolf" (which I consider the third greatest post-apocolypse film ever made. "Threads' and "The Road Warrior" are numbers 1 and 2).

"The Fog"... first, it was not my idea and I went out of politeness (my friend's birthday). After all these years people are still making awful horror films. You'd think they's have learned something! I can't beleive the things people do in showers... he's a boy... HE HAS COOTIES >.<

I saw this documentary called WHORE and it's about prostitutes...all of them get interviewed and it's a rather interesting watch because they ALL have the same opinion on men....Dirty Filthy Pigs....
But that's their opinion, and I'm not suprised really....I recommend it though.
