So Halloween is coming up! That means it's time to start watching horror films. Has anything particularly interesting come out in the past year? I was hoping to have some horror nights with friends starting next weekend, but I'm not exactly a horror aficionado. I was hoping there have been some good horror movies that came out more recently, rather than relying completely on top 10 lists of horror films.

Keanu talkin' bout Bill and Ted 3

[Tulpa]

He always sounds like that in interviews! He always sounds like he thinks his films make profound statements on the nature of the world! Even stuff like Point Break!

Impressions of what are likely the two best films of the year. Good luck finding them play in a theatre near you.

A rather upbeat track from The Social Network.

I saw I'm Not There last night. I really enjoyed it, speaking as someone who generally hates biopics. Blanchett was particularly good, but I liked most all of the Dylans. The Billy the Kid sequence was strange, but tied him into the larger fabric of American history. Interesting.

I really like the aesthetic of this, but it's slightly troubling for a few reasons. Not because it might seem racist, but because it's exploiting poverty and alienation to sell fashion, or something. What do you guys think?

it's a watered down version of those old controversial united colors of benetton ads. i'm not sure what korine's intention is (it seems like everyone's been out 'subvert' things for decades) but the very presence of the brand or product means that in the end (like the benetton ads) you're supposed respond to it by buying something.

movies i watched recently

a zed and two noughts - one of the nicest-looking movies i've ever seen, but the story was just a bunch of pet motifs randomly colliding with each other like i'm supposed to scratch my chin and admire the duality of it all. definitely want to see more sacha vierny-shot movies now though

ghost in the shell - more dumb anime shit than i remember, there's a difference between subtle and anticlimactic, kaiba's better for playing the ideas out instead of endlessly pontificating on them

blade runner - glad i waited to watch this on a nice tv. dialogue's a little hamfisted at times (and yeah i saw the final cut) but everything else about it is perfect

shaun of the dead - don't think i've ever seen a movie this funny with direction this great. i'm glad that someone with this good of an eye is making mainstream comedies. probably gonna buy scott pilgrim on blu-ray

dead ringers - awesome, i was so sure jeremy irons was two actors that it bugged me that they seemed to have clearly different facial structure. i'm retarded. the twins' relationship was surprisingly easy to sympathize with, they were actual characters instead of A Set of Ideas About Twins which makes greenaway trying to grab credit for it through zed it all the more obnoxious

scott pilgrim on blu-ray >_o;

Easy A was a lot better than its terrible trailer.

Reminded me of Mean Girls (this is not a bad thing).

Oh, also, they had super-nasty alien bugs! But, they were hissing cockroaches.

Oh, here's something:

I rewatched some of 8 1/2 for a class recently, and I think I still hate it. Until taking this class it was my only exposure to Fellini. After taking this class I think he's a genius. Nights of Cabiria was a fun exercise, La Dolce Vita was brilliant (if less intellectually engaged), and I've heard tell of some of his later, more bizarre works.

But 8 1/2 just seems sophmoric: egotistical, overtly "artistic," and obsessed with metafiction but to no end. Even if you don't buy into the ideology that seems to underlie Cabiria and (I'd argue) La Strada, you can at least see them as elegant attempts to embed early media critiques within the art form itself. That's pretty interesting to me. It's not interesting to see a director pontificate his own luxury problems through onanistic experiments that convey little more than neurotic self obsession. No wonder Woody Allen was such a big fan.

So there's that.
