Snake Eyes is a film I've watched several times, purely for the style. The story is almost completely junk. His technique is that fucking intoxicating.
I thought Femme Fatale was a straight-up masterpiece (of course there are caveats: it's almost a sequel, in the sense that you have to be very familiar with De Palma's…

Aw, bullshit. Kings of the Road is perfect.

This Black Keys lad sounds like a square.

Seminal book for me as a kid, still lots to admire, but his Joker is even more homophobic than he is homicidal

He can't act. But he's interestingly eccentric in Pat Garrett, his score is great and the film is a masterpiece.

STRONGLY DISAGREE. I don't mean in this movie, at mean in the 80s. LOOK: http://www.brooklynpaper.co…

There's a good book about Dylan's film work, called Like A Bullet Of Light. I forget the author, sadly, Deals with everything, including Eat The Document and his cameo in Catchfire/Backtrack. Isn't up to date enough to include Masked and Anonymous though, sadly.

I fucking love Bob's hair from this period. I can only presume he modelled it on that of a French king from the Enlightenment era…kind of parted at the back, with these weird little curly points flowing down from the back of his neck.

I see all your Dylan movie comments, and raise you with his cameo as a chainsaw wielding artist in Dennis Hopper's Backtrack/Catchfire: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Dig that video name.

Biggest crime it commits, in my opinion, is that it doesn't give us one single complete musical performance, IIRC. It cuts away from them all! And it's boring as fuck.

STRONGLY disagree. Love the artwork. The 'mangled salaryman under forensic scrutiny' look.

No, no. I really just mean that it's not a good joke.

I wouldn't cling to it, if I were you. It's a piece of shit.

I'm pumped, amped AND stoked for this show, but that dialogue is embarrassing.

Maybe he could write it, too.

Yes. Yes it was.

Body Snatchers is fucking ace. So underrated. Talk about yer visual storytelling. That stuff with the silhouettes at the beginning…fantastic.

One thing about it I always liked was that in several places, notably in the prison riot, he uses the language of action movies, the editing, general sense of kineticism, etc - but puts them in the service of murderers killing innocents.

I always thought he was basing it on Mel Gibson, who he worked with on Air America.
"Repetition works, Davey. Repetition works, Davey."

I see. I'm sorry about that, sounds like he really is one. I thought he'd be slightly more cartoonish.
