Bad Lieutenant

Harvey Keitel calls Jesus a rat fuck, reprising his role from The Last Temptation of Christ.

Seriously though, this film is bleak as fuck. Keitel is the human equivalent of a black hole. One of the most degraded, fucked up characters I've ever seen in a film. This definitely falls under the 'couldn't be made today' category.

It's a good one for sure. King Of New York will always my my go to Ferrara movie.

To be fair the only thing holding something like that from getting made nowadays is New York being expensive to shoot in and being relatively clean compared to how it looked before Giuliani turned it into the tourist trap. Plus you had old school producers who would take a chance on stuff like that.

Think Ferrara fecked off to Italy and got super Catholic.

That's funny given his films sit at the further reaches of exploitation films 

I'd say Ms.45 is my favourite of his, but he for sure has several really good ones.

Gravity

The effects were good. It could have been better if the dialogue wasn't such unbelievable Hollywood cheese though.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Saw it in the cinema and thought it was fierce tedious.

[Carnage]

Saw the first few minutes of it in the Imax, it looked amazing. Not quite as spectacular on DVD though.

I just watched an ad for a new Irish horror film called Hokum. The same dude made Oddity, the trailer of which also looked interesting. Is there a bit of a movement for Irish horror lately or is it one dude doing good things? I must try to get my hands on these and have a look.

Oddity was great.

Gave Wonderland a rewatch last night. Still a good film even though it feels like The Doors part 2.

Seeing the Oddity movie mentioned too, thought that was terrible. Had to turn it off the acting was so bad.

[Necro Red]

In a bit 9f a rewatching buzz as if late. Revisting movies i haven't seen in yonks. Had Dellamorte Dellamore on the other night. Such a bizarre zombie flick. Good craic so it is. I stuck on Saving Private Ryan too. Gotta love that opening scene, its vicious.

[Carnage]

Stuck on The Long Goodbye on a whim last night, great stuff. Gould must have shredded his lungs in that role with the amount of chainsmoking he did. Sterling Hayden in top form too, and even a small (glorified extra) role for Schwarzenegger!

Elliot Gould was one of the coolest fuckers on the planet in the 1970s. Up there with Nicholson, DeNiro, Pacino, Caan, Beatty and Hackman.

He made shit of his career by being impossible to work with.

If you enjoyed "The Long Goodbye" then I really recommend another Gould movie called "Busting".

[Carnage]

Noted, thanks.

That's the first film I've watched in three weeks, which is a long time for me. With the good weather I've been out & about more, plus I'm ploughing through my (still growing) pile of unread books. So much stuff on various 'to watch' lists I'll never get through a tenth of it.

Long plane trip tiday with the usual Marvel limited choices on the seat back screen - spotted a film called Bugonia - no idea what I was getting.  Enjoyed it though I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
