Universal Love TRTT Part 10: Ken Things I Hate About You

[bomberclifford]

Anyway Barry Lyndon is the absolute duck's nuts. I saw a shockingly pristine print in a Perth theatre in the early 2000s and have never been the same since.

The number of times the audience noticeably sighed at the beauty of an establishing shot.

If you were ranking them on cinematography this would be the clear number one.

I am.

Swap Shining with Barry and Clockwork with Lolita and that’s pretty much my list.

Shining is a great movie, but a shit adaptation of the book. I get conflicted depending on where it should go based on that.

The location was the star of that film there was no build to madness with Nicholson's portrayal it was yep this guy is creepy, odd, nasty & borderline mad already.. how long until we try killing the family.

*The wife was lousy casting as well

I really liked her in that role. I haven’t read that book though.

She was widely panned for it I think the best I could say was the overacting side of it gave it high cheese dramatics she would've been a good cast member on Prisoner.

I think the only Kubrick film I've seen in its entirety is Dr Strangelove and that 3 or 4 times

 

[Contested Marx]

I mean, nobody has actually watched 2001 have they?

You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company for that.

I can understand how people can think it's boring but for me the pacing of that movie is sublime.

Also there are people that know that Boogie Nights is the single greatest film of the 90s and there are people who are wrong.

Which one are YOU?

Well thats the most productive discussion I've ever started.

From Bill Murray making dick jokes to a heated debate on the filmography of Kubrick.

I half watched it way way back then the Mark Wahlberg boycott kicked in so I guess I'll never go back and watch it properly

You can watch it for Philip Seymour Hoffman if you prefer

Mega-ditto re: A Clockwork Orange

It’s one in general I have with movies and TV series adapted from books I’ve read. I generally need to see them twice. The first time I’m ‘How could you leave out that!/change that!/add that! You idiots!’. The second time I can watch for is it a good movie/show on its own merits.

I've started it 3 or 4 times and fallen asleep 30 minutes in each time

 

[Macca19]

I love The Shining. It would be in my top 5 favourite movies. I understand its not a true reflection of the book but I don't care, it's a ****ing great movie.

The 90s was a really ordinary decade for movies and I've got to go with the crowd on this one (no, not The Shawshank Redemption - I mean Pulp Fiction).

 

[Powerade 08]

Haven't seen a single Kubrick movie lol!

Moon Landing (1969) is his only good work.

Clockwork Orange is a great film adaptation of a shit book .
