Realism? :lol:

I thought it was pretty clear that Scorsese was going for a really over-the-top feel.

yeah i guess operatic realism (which i've heard used to describe Scorsese before) would have been a more appropriate term. i'm not saying it's completely historically accurate or anything.

I'm in the middle of Lenzi's cannibal classic The Man From Deep River (okay so far), and I just put two more holds out for Cimino's Heaven's Gate and the Brando version of Mutiny On The Bounty.

Not going to see War Dance this weekend (My dad didn't like it anyways, so whatever), but I think I'll be able to see The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp by Powell and Pressburger, instead.

The Sword of Doom was really good. The main character is one of the best portrayals of a sociopath I've seen, in an extremely well-choreographed and well-shot samurai film, no less. I recommend it.

Coming I've got:

71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (Haneke)
MASH (Altman)
Do The Right Thing (Lee)

There's Something About Mary has been on HBO a lot lately. I've seen it many times but I usually tune in for part because there are still so many bits that make me laugh out loud.
Dumb & Dumber is the same way when TBS cycles the hell out out it.

Me too. As a whole it doesn't do much for me, but that ending is tremendous.

I watched "the shining" yesterday evening. What an amazing filmmaker was Kubrick ! The geometrical constructions of all the plans, the complexity and intensity of the image composition, that was mind-blowing. And Nicholson's interpretation is quite powerful. Great movie !

Yesterday I saw:

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Ken Loach)-A small-scale rendering of the Irish civil war that was really effective. Great acting and situations, and very well shot.

Wild Strawberries (Bergman)-I'll have to see this again really soon, and then see it again when I'm a little older. I could tell it was the kind of film that one viewing doesn't really get everything. My first Bergman as well, definitely a great director.

Working on the classics, though I've seen the Leone film before.
