"Spetters" was another great Paul Verhoeven movie. Now I only got three left. Until "Tricked" comes out at least.

 Thu Aug 01 16:31:17 +0000 2013

This one had a full on gay blowjob on camera! All of his films are strong with homosexual subplots.

 Thu Aug 01 16:35:07 +0000 2013

That's what it feels like. Porn was very big over there around that time, so mainstream probably felt like pushing the envelope.

 Thu Aug 01 16:39:16 +0000 2013

I will say that it's very refreshing to watch a bunch of old non-Hollywood films. The experience is completely different. I love it

 Thu Aug 01 16:40:00 +0000 2013

Actually, Verhoeven's 70s films remind me of Balabanov's very often. It's the shock plot twists with characters' human reactions.

 Thu Aug 01 16:41:52 +0000 2013

Verhoeven's filming style is very basic. He improved a lot as he moved along, especially in his Hollywood productions.

 Thu Aug 01 16:45:57 +0000 2013

Also an interesting thing that he seemed to always work with mostly the same actors and crew on his Dutch films.

 Thu Aug 01 16:46:44 +0000 2013

Polanski is great, but his films were always very visual. Just look at Repulsion. I fucking love the look of Rosemary's Baby too.

 Thu Aug 01 16:47:31 +0000 2013

Spetters was one, especially. I was thinking of Balabanov half the time. All that was missing is people traveling a lot. :)

 Thu Aug 01 16:49:56 +0000 2013

Hauer is absolutely amazing and is in the most of his films. He's a real delight to watch. Hollywood killed him :(

 Thu Aug 01 16:51:27 +0000 2013

But what I meat is all of his Dutch films were written by the same person. A lot of them were shot by Jean de Bont and etc.

 Thu Aug 01 16:52:59 +0000 2013

Most of my favorite directors do strong visual compositions. Yet I still love people like Balabanov for their character work.

 Thu Aug 01 16:54:10 +0000 2013

He WAS amazing in Hobo With A Shotgun. The "bear" sequence almost made me scream "Man, you're ACTING in the wrong movie!!!".

 Thu Aug 01 16:56:06 +0000 2013

I'll probably give it another whirl some day. I remember liking it past the first 15 minutes.

 Thu Aug 01 17:02:37 +0000 2013

Yes I did! The first one is great. And I've seen it since that day, so I know it works when I'm sober too. :D

 Thu Aug 01 17:06:08 +0000 2013

I've also seen the sequel which was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

The next person to call Serious Sam (or Painkiller) a throwback to classic shooters (in my presence) gets slapped in the face.

 Sun Aug 04 18:10:20 +0000 2013

The first game to actually market itself as a classic fps throwback, if memory serves, was KISS: Psycho Circus.

Haven't played Painkiller since it came out, but I remember it being fun. Weapons were fun, enemies were fun. That sort of stuff.

Haven't played Painkiller 2 or Serious Sam 3. Nor do I feel the need to. I know how to circlestrafe, thankyouverymuch.

 Sun Aug 04 18:38:21 +0000 2013

So for my money, Rise of the Triad 2013 is the 1st big real throwback to the classic fps games.

Not when I'm playing them.

 Sun Aug 04 18:42:32 +0000 2013

Here's one thing about ROTT2013 that I'd like to get out of the way: It's fuck ugly. BUT, let's face it, it's a budget title. So yeah.

 Sun Aug 04 18:43:48 +0000 2013

And the original game was ugly as well, so it could pass as keeping the aesthetic.

Ok, so a quick investigation proved that saves in classic DOOM games in Doom 3: BFG actually function correctly on occasion.

I'm trying to forget Terminator: Salvation like a bad dream...

 Mon Aug 05 02:08:50 +0000 2013

They fixed the T3 one with the second pressing, and Terminator now has an excellent blu-ray (albeit with altered colors)

The writing in hl2 isn't good, but i love playing it. Cutscenes in Doom 3 are equally as useless.

It might sound ridiculous now, but playing DOOM felt real. 20 years ago it felt like your monitor was a window into another world.

 Wed Aug 07 16:29:36 +0000 2013

Agreed. Most of dialogue in HL2 is "Holy shit, it's Gordon Freeman! The next rebel outpost is blahblah..."

Characters are caricatures. Kleiner is nerdy, Barney is sarcastic, the girl is a cardboard cutout. But...

Brat 2 is full of racism, it's there, but on purpose. To illustrate the ignorance of the characters. The reviewer missed that.

 Fri Aug 16 04:44:26 +0000 2013

The characters are most certainly prejudiced. Always have been. - A jew? - No, a German - Good, coz I don't like jews very much.

 Fri Aug 16 04:47:39 +0000 2013

That's the beauty of Brother. You get to know what Danila's simple outlook on life is. You get to understand where he's coming from

 Fri Aug 16 04:49:35 +0000 2013

"Do we, Russian people, ever trick each other?" I know. I'm just saying it was always there.

 Fri Aug 16 04:52:40 +0000 2013

I think Brat would be hard for foreigners to understand. I want to show it to some of my friends, but I have reservations.

 Fri Aug 16 04:53:15 +0000 2013

Ignorance. Danila's look on life is very simplistic. He doesn't understand how the word "negro" could be offensive.

 Fri Aug 16 04:54:32 +0000 2013

Yes, but then it's given context. Merilyn mentions that he shouldn't say it. That's on purpose for sure.

 Fri Aug 16 05:01:14 +0000 2013

Absolutely. But you gotta give it Balabanov - as commercial as Brat 2 is, it's still one of his best films. Somehow.

 Fri Aug 16 05:02:29 +0000 2013

First Brat is amazing. I still don't quite understand how a modern Russian movie this good ever got made.

 Fri Aug 16 05:03:14 +0000 2013

Will you stop reading reviews written by ignorant people?

 Fri Aug 16 05:05:37 +0000 2013

I find the first Brat to be superior. It's full of such amazing things. Brat 2 is very well done, but not as "pure" imo.

 Fri Aug 16 05:10:38 +0000 2013

War is fine, but nowhere near as good. Good message and acting though.

 Fri Aug 16 05:11:11 +0000 2013

Look at how he introduces Danila's character in the 1st film. You just see him over the hill in the army uniform...

 Fri Aug 16 05:13:02 +0000 2013

... He looks around. Walks right in front of the camera. That's it. As a Russian you now know everything about him.

 Fri Aug 16 05:13:41 +0000 2013

You get the most of his backstory with no dialogue or any kind of exposition. You just know the type. It's great film making.

 Fri Aug 16 05:14:41 +0000 2013

2nd movie doesn't have that. 1st film to me is so much more powerful. And he wasn't afraid to show how things really were either.

 Fri Aug 16 05:16:42 +0000 2013

I think many Russian post-Perestroyka films still exaggerated reality in way or another. Balabanov managed to capture reality.

 Fri Aug 16 05:20:52 +0000 2013

And fuck you! I'm drunk! It's 1:20 in the morning and I'm already watching the first one. Goddammit!

 Fri Aug 16 05:21:54 +0000 2013

Oh dear God, I love the "Yablokitai" album, as awful as it is. It just represents an certain time in my life.

 Fri Aug 16 05:24:38 +0000 2013

Yep, the whole thing. It wasn't really Nautilus. Butusov wrote everything, Akvarium actually played the music. Recorded in London.

 Fri Aug 16 05:27:50 +0000 2013

Surprisingly, this highly "experimental" album works really well as the soundtrack in Brat. With Balabanov's trademark "traveling".

 Fri Aug 16 05:29:07 +0000 2013

And of course it works also as a joke. Because Danila wants to get the album the whole second half of the movie.

 Fri Aug 16 05:30:28 +0000 2013

@AveTory "You're not a brother to me, you lousy black-ass."

 Fri Aug 16 05:34:29 +0000 2013

Showing people traveling on film is not a good thing. Balabanov gets away with that. Although he did abuse it in his last few films

 Sun Aug 18 00:46:05 +0000 2013

My mom had a quick job as a janitor in a drama theater before getting a real job, so all I did is hang out with actors backstage!

 Sun Aug 18 00:49:34 +0000 2013

No rockers, unfortunately. She DID buy Russian rock vinyls, so she's responsible for that one as well.

No you don't...

 Sun Aug 18 00:55:29 +0000 2013

Still. I only met Nemtsov. When he was still cool.

 Sun Aug 18 00:56:28 +0000 2013

Well, I actually got to travel down some river with stops in towns & my mom & her friends singing bard songs.

 Sun Aug 18 00:58:32 +0000 2013

He used to rent an apartment from my mother's college friend when he was young. He kept in touch, and my mom's friend lived close.

 Sun Aug 18 01:01:02 +0000 2013

My mother still sings bard songs. I've always known all of them by heart. I heard them all my life, so I can't distance myself.

 Sun Aug 18 01:03:35 +0000 2013

My mother's friends were fun & interesting people. A good chunk of them turned into asshole politicians later for some reason.

 Sun Aug 18 01:06:01 +0000 2013

I always used to sing with my mom. She never asked me. I just started doing that as a kid. And never stopped. A family duet!

 Sun Aug 18 01:07:18 +0000 2013

My mother is the only one with an actual musical education. I've refused despite her attempts to sign me up for any kind of classes

 Sun Aug 18 01:11:14 +0000 2013

Maybe. I barely made it through school. I'm obviously not cut out for education.

 Sun Aug 18 01:15:36 +0000 2013

I liked it

 Sun Aug 18 09:15:16 +0000 2013

Yep. It's not as good as Humongous games, but I think it was meant for younger kids.

 Sun Aug 18 12:19:48 +0000 2013

Yeah, I think they tried focusing more on it being an interactive cartoon with a lot of locations & funny characters.

Danny Boyle's Sunshine is criminally underrated. AND it had a real chance of being awesome, if it didn't turn into a monster movie @ the end

 Sun Aug 18 23:38:25 +0000 2013

Saw it about a year ago & didn't like it. Nice start, but then it just falls apart. Sam Neil is creepy, of course.

 Sun Aug 18 23:39:38 +0000 2013

Whatever. I think it's mediocre. I should have never rewatched it. My original memories of it were good.

The game never happened and the salvaged resources were turned into a shitty action game by a different company. Ouch.

 Thu Aug 22 01:35:04 +0000 2013

A demo might decrease sales of your game??? I mean, I guess it might... But an absence of a demo is more likely to do that.

Just finished Oz the Great and Powerful. Worst Sam Raimi movie yet.

 Thu Aug 22 13:22:50 +0000 2013

However, Raimi's Oz is still better than Burton's Alice, which I still maintain is one of the most soulless things to come out of Hollywood.

 Thu Aug 22 13:33:27 +0000 2013

It seems that over the last decade or so Hollywood managed to suck out all creativity out of some of my favorite directors :(

I'm still trying to digest The World's End. While maybe not exactly as funny as Shaun or Fuzz, TWE is also a better film in many ways.

 Fri Aug 23 16:39:46 +0000 2013

My favorite of the three is Shaun, while I'd say Hot Fuzz is the funniest (at least as jokes-per-minute go). The World's End is... different

 Fri Aug 23 16:41:54 +0000 2013

I actually think it was kind of the point.

 Fri Aug 23 17:05:45 +0000 2013

To be honest I'd rather not call it a part of the trilogy. It's missing the parody angle. It's much more a stand alone Wright film.

 Fri Aug 23 17:11:54 +0000 2013

But that's what I loved about it. It caught me by surprise. I need to see it again...

I didn't like Dredd one bit. I'm so surprised when people compare it to RoboCop.

Checked out a few minutes of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and, to my surprise, found it to be fun. Looks like the best adaptation.

 Thu Aug 29 03:28:44 +0000 2013

The problem with the other Gatsby films - they are fucking boring. The book is good because of the way it's written, not just the story.

 Thu Aug 29 03:29:46 +0000 2013

As much as I hate other Baz Luhrmann's movies, his farcical style seems rather fitting here. And the 3D looks great! (for once).

Oh, it's made by a team of EIGHT people. That explains it.

 Thu Aug 29 12:23:52 +0000 2013

I like the concept and the art style a lot. There's a demo too. In reality they are only asking for 50 grand, OUYA's matching.

 Thu Aug 29 12:37:33 +0000 2013

Still, the game looks a bit too rough for a team of 8 people. Not too mention that it's gonna be an OUYA exclusive for half a year.
