The last movie you saw

[Don Carlos]

Has anyone here seen Antichrist, starring Willem Dafoe? Fuckin' weird ass movie.

Anti Christ - WTF/10

What. The. Fuck.

[Ryoki]

Sherlock Holmes 7/10

Downey saves the day, what a great actor. Story is mostly tripe, but i really like his Sherlock. Was quite surprised to see guy ritchie was the director, didn't feel like one of his movies at all. Well, in hindsight maybe the boxing match should have tipped me off.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Wanted.

The only person who should see this movie is Mazda.

[LawL]

Yes. "Fuckin weird ass movie" doesn't even begin to describe it. Lars von Trier has completely lost his mind and it's no surprise that nobody wants to work with him anymore. The guy is a certified head-case.

Anti Christ - WTF/10

What. The. Fuck.

It's the first film in years that I've actually had to look away from (the clit mutilation scene).

Do either of you have a take on wtf the deal was with all the faceless women walking up the hill at the very end towards Dafoe? The only thing I can come up with is that they perhaps represented the repressed women that were somehow released when the mad bitch who believed all women were inherently evil was strangled.

On the 'so bad it's a guilty pleasure' pile along with Crank (deliberately so, I know I know), transporter, xXx, Ghost Dog, and a whole bunch of other dross

In all honesty I didn't even make it to the end. I simply turned if off after he burned her body.

MURRRRRRRRRRR...

Gamer - 7/10

Not sure if I should rate this an 8...really liked it...

Agreed, just finished watching it a few minutes ago. Except for a couple extraordinarily stupid moments it was entertaining, far more so than I expected.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Gamer = 8/10 - The story isn't exactly original but the production design, cinematography, editing and audio are top notch. The stunts are pretty good as well. Definitely worth a watch purely for entertainment value but it really slows down near the end.

Also...one of the best lines I've heard in a while:

"I need you to get me something."
"What?"
"Drunk."

[Nightshade]

That was pretty good, but what they followed it up with transcended the whole 'voluntary suspension of disbelief' thing and landed squarely in 'holy fuck where are my hip boots this shit is getting wayyyy too deep'.

It was a lot like Law-Abiding Citizen; better than I thought it would be, but still rife with cheese.

rofl

that was the only thing missing from The Ring, which didn't seem too different to me. But weird for sure

I like that line she said, "a crying woman is a scheming woman"
BAM


Also, the scene where the baby bird falls from the tree and the momma bird scoops it up and eats it is f'ing awesome... I'd like to know how they pulled that off!

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

The Big Fan
Unconventional film about sports fanaticism, self-actualization and being different.

Definitely worth watching.

What’s your take on the significance of all the faceless women walking up the hill towards Willem at the very end?

Hard to say, I could hardly tell they were faceless and the scene was very short. I figure a very important, all encompassing message would have been longer. The same song (and only song in the movie) is played at the beginning and end in the same fashion.. I looked up the song, it is 'Lascia ch'io pianga' from 'Rinaldo', an opera. This synopsis of the opera was on wikipedia (don't hate):

Act 1
The Christian camp outside the gates of Jerusalem. Rinaldo, a knight, reminds Goffredo, the captain general of the Crusade force, that Goffredo promised him the hand of his daughter Almirena, if the city is conquered. Armida, Queen of Damascus, enchantress and mistress of Argante, the Saracen king of Jerusalem, arrives in a fiery chariot and tells him that they will only conquer the city if Rinaldo is detached from the Christian army. In a grove, Almirena and Rinaldo affirm their love. Armida leads Almirena away. When Rinaldo resists, the women are carried away in a black cloud and Rinaldo is devastated. Goffredo and his brother Eustazio enter and the latter advises consulting a hermit to defeat Armida. Rinaldo calls on tempests to help him.

Act 2
On a seashore, amid mermaids, Rinaldo and Goffredo complain about how far they must travel to find the hermit. Eustazio tells them they are close to their destination. Rinaldo is lured into a boat by a spirit in the form of a lovely woman who tells him Almirena has sent her. His companions are unable to prevent him entering the boat. In Armida's enchanted palace garden, Argante makes advances to Almirena, saying he can prove his love by breaking Armida's spell. She pleads to be left alone. Armida is pleased at Rinaldo's capture and offers him her love. When he refuses, she changes her appearance to that of Almirena. Taken in at first, he is furious when the deception is revealed. On Argante's arrival, she again changes her appearance which only exposes his affection for Almirena. She calls for revenge.

Act 3
The hermit's cave at the bottom of a mountain with a palace at the top. The hermit-magician tells Goffredo and Eustazio that Rinaldo and Almirena are prisoners in the palace. The Christians' first attempt to release them is repelled by 'ugly' spirits, they escape back to the cave and the magician gives them special wands to conquer witchcraft. They strike the palace gates, the mountain disappears, leaving Goffredo and Eustazio clinging to the sides of a huge rock in the middle of the sea. Armida tries to stab Almirena, Rinaldo draws his sword but is restrained by spirits. His companions arrive and use their wands to transform the garden into the area near the city gate at Jerusalem. They are reunited with Rinaldo. Armida again tries to stab Almirena, Rinaldo attacks her and she vanishes. Argante and Armida are reconciled. The armies prepare to fight. The Christians win, thanks to Rinaldo. Argante and Armida are captured and profess the Christian faith. Almirena and Rinaldo are united.

There are similarities between that opera and the movie if you look at it generally (except the ending... and some of act one...). I know I'm stretching it but the movie may just be his interpretation of that opera. Plus the fact that neither of the main characters have a name probably means they are simply representing something else.

He sees the three symbols for pain, grief, and despair just before the mass of women come trudging up the hill and that probably means something has been resolved but I don't know what for sure (probably his wife). Also, they are all wearing skirts and who knows wtf that means.

I think a closer look at the literature in the house that he found would reveal something. Maybe Lar Von Trier could chime in....


This movie eludes me and I don't like being beaten by a movie...

[LawL]

Interesting. I think I'll just go with the theory that they represented the repressed women that were somehow released when the mad bitch who believed all women were inherently evil was strangled. Either that or the belief that LVT is a total fruitloop and it was meant to be more confusing than significant.

[andyman]

oh fuck this was on imdb trivia:

A video game based on the movie has been announced by the movie's production company Zentropa. The game "Eden" would supposedly be a continuation of the story.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[LawL]

Yeah I read that somewhere before. wtf

[GONNAFISTYA]

Either that or the belief that LVT is a total fruitloop and it was meant to be more confusing than significant.

Lars von Trier has completely lost his mind...
...The guy is a certified head-case.

I beat you to it. I don't think there's anything here to analyze. Lars von Trier has made several films that had nothing to say and no point. Like Uwe Boll...he makes films because he can get away with making shit.

Just finished True Blood season 2 after watching all of it today... CMON JUNE..........
