Movies - How Did I Miss That?

Really, Frankenhooker is self-consciously awful. Nobody in it thought they were making anything but a joke and it shows, right from the first scene...that’s the difference between this and the ‘grindhouse’ style. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all, even when most extreme, whereas (IMO) grindhouse plays the premise straight no matter how over the top it gets.

Yes most certainly - The Grand Budapest Hotel is a great film - with quirky almost silent movie type homour at times - and some great action scenes too - I'd recommend it.


A more recent movie that I have seen and like is called 'Valerian' - kinda sci-fi mega-action flik.


I’ve always wanted to see that. Is it worth the watch?

I wouldnt say Frankenhooker was grindhouse but it was differently different.whoever made that movie was on all kinds of drugs that I want. BEST LINES WERE "WANNA DATE!" FUCKING GOLD
A whole 'nother level of 'different' is what I have to say. Holy crap!! Ya gotta watch Frankenhooker if you haven't. Yes, filmed from the start as a parody and it definitely shows. lol WOW. heh This one goes in the archives.

The drill. I, wow... definitely difficult to watch. LOL I don't do "Saw" type movies for the same reason. Totally fake and still realistic enough to make me cringe quite badly.


Question: Would removing the stocking and shoe from the leg have made him 'less,' or 'more' conspicuous as he climbed down the fire escape?

Super crack! Sooooooooooo funny!
:laughing:

American Success Story - this is a movie I saw once, but it stuck with me.

I love movies, and I enjoy seeing ‘small’ films, watching good people practice their arts and hone their crafts; this is one of those. It’s not really a drama, a comedy, or a romance, but it *is* a love story. Jeff Bridges, Ned Beatty, Marisa Berenson, Bianca Jagger.

Good luck finding it....


No good stoner’s movie experience is compleat without Zachariah, a reconfiguration of the story of Siddhartha by the guys in Firesign Theater...as a western...starring a very young Don Johnson, Country Joe and the Fish, Doug Kershaw, jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones, and, of course...the James Gang.

"Dead men don't wear plaid", Black & white film noir directed by Carl Reiner, starring Steve Martin. From 1982, back when Steve Martin was still funny, is very underrated in my opinion. If you're into abstract humor and 1940-1950's pulp detective & gangster movies, check it out.
DMDWP uses clips from them old movies and mixes em to it's own storyline.

If you have seen some of the old movies used to make DMDWP, like 'Sorry, wrong number', 'The postman always rings twice', 'White heat' or 'The lost weekend' to name a few.. That helps too, but is not a must.
Good stuff! :tiphat:

Spaghetti Westerns were called that because they were mostly produced and directed by Italians.

So Chinese westerns as a genre, with that logic, should be Noodle westerns? :)

Never heard of the movie, might check it out. Chinese people do some weird stuff, good and bad.
