I think if I had been fourteen when I saw it, I would have enjoyed it. As an adult, I was just like, "Wow, stalker."

Ah, okay, good to know.
Definitely my favorite film by Von Trier. It's probably the only film I've seen of his where I didn't want to punch him in the face for some reason (and I say that even about the ones I liked).
Only if they're based on Mark Millar comics. I can, unfortunately, see a Nemesis movie happening in a couple years.
Even though I've read A Song of Ice and Fire, Moon Door sounds like a euphemism for a vagina that's currently in the middle of menstruation, like, "Honey, I don't know if we should have sex tonight. Do you really want to go through my Moon Door?"
Pretty sure I've seen this film more than any other Allen movie, as the summer break I got really into him, IFC showed this and Interiors every other day. Those were the good old days, watching Woody Allen movies on the tiny TV in the kitchen and avoiding the sun like a vampire.
I don't know if I've ever enjoyed a Cameron Crowe film. All of those I can recall just felt unbelievably contrived.
I'd be up for spending money on a third Red film. I don't know if the first two are necessarily good, but Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren just seem to be having such a wonderful time, and in a weird way, that's kind of infectious. Gotta say though, I kinda missed Rebecca Pidgeon in the second…
@disqus_oaLJ5MNIyo:disqus I think his aesthetic- that aggressively neon palette- is relatively unexplored in independent film, though it does have precedent in mainstream genre films. In terms of its influence, I've read several interviews with arthouse directors who have cited Enter the Void as an influence,…
They really are. All the creepiest messages I've received on OKC have been from weird men, including one who actually showed up at my work and stared at me.
Really? That's awesome. I've been trying to be good during the sale, and am failing.
Interesting. I'll keep that in mind for when I work for Criterion, right around the time that frogs rain from the sky.
While I think Enter the Void has some serious problems- and I have no interest in seeing it a second time- I think Gaspar Noe's vision is far more unique than Dunham's is, and I think avant-garde directors will be referencing it for years to come.
@avclub-d72f705337e5adcf7e33ec0381c5f5b2:disqus Oh, that's fabulous! Freddie was a character who really grew on me over the season, and it's nice to know she plays for my team.
I'm extremely curious to see how Fuller uses Molly in the season(s) to come. Some of my friends are really into the novels, and totally love the relationship between Will and Molly.
I haven't actually, but I do love those totally nightmarish noir films, like Blast of Silence. I should check that out.
I'd heard that Criterion was given first pick of IFC releases, which is why I was totally shocked to see Tiny Furmiture get a Criterion spot over Enter the Void, which came out around the same time from IFC, IIRC.
There's some pretty dull boning in Romance, the Catherine Breillat film, but it gets points for its "money shot" and that weird fairy tale closing scene.
I have that on the DVR right now. Perhaps I should just delete it?
I'm extremely optimistic about the show too. Really looking forward to deGrasse Tyson's work on it.
