Just wait until the tesseract.

They just flew to the ice planet. I don't know if I'm going to resume watching.

Oh the real surprises just start happening now.

I enjoyed the movie up until that part. Then it sorta fell apart.

That's the part where Darth Mopey attacks the New Republic base, right?

Finally got round to watching Sorrentino's The Hand of God last night. It's obviously autobiographical and a lot more 'real' than his masterpieces, The Great Beauty and Il Divo, but it shares the same great casting and performances, beautiful cinematography, quirkiness and careful scene-construction. However, it was a little disjointed and less satisfying as an experience than those great films.

Still looking forward to an extended director's cut of La Grande Bellezza. There used to be some extended cut scenes on YouTube that really fleshed out some of the events of the film and made it more coherent.

Need to rewatch Youth although I'm not sure if that's for Caine and Keitel or Madalina Ghenea naked. Although a bonus is Madalina Ghenea naked.

Is this the one where he bones that witch in the hut? Or was that the sequel with Wilt Chamberlain?

That scene is very much in Conan the Barbarian.

This is indeed awesome (with a script co-written by Oliver Stone too).

On the other end of the Arnold spectrum I caught The Running Man on Nixflet yesterday.

- here with a poster totally ripping of Rollerball.

Taking place all the way in the future of 2019 I couldn't remember much about it, and with good reason - it's very mediocre. Crazy to think that it came out the same year as the near perfect Predator. Even so I'm still planning to read the book it's based on by Richard Bachman (Steven King).

That reminds me of Teshigahara’s first full length feature film whose title gets translated into English as “Pitfall “.

I haven’t seen it years but it’s available for streaming on Criterion. It’s worth it for the Takemitsu Toru score alone. I think Takemitsu’s best work came on these type of low budget films where he had plenty of artistic freedom but couldn’t squeeze a lot of instrumentation into the tiny budgets.

The book is genuinely good, as I recall. Very, very different.
