Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 03:56:21 PMThe Appointment (1982) - Wow, this was definitely something else. Edward Woodward from The Wicker Man is a Dad with a rather odd 13 year old daughter who may or may not possess otherworldly powers. The first half is a fairly conventional drama, the second is a really out there "Is it a dream or is it real?" experience with the Dad driving on scary cliffside roads in England. The fact that I was nodding off while watching this at 4 am magnified the nightmare effect. I saw it on the ROKU channel which had a nice print. Very cool. watched in one night (or morning, rather)

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 03:53:13 PMThat's a fair criticism. I absolutely consider Surrealism to be V2.0 of Dada, in spite of the philosophical distinction that you cite. Among other things I'd argue, I would argue that Dadaism imploded because its practitioners and critics eventually had to accept that the possibility of art devoid of any meaning is non-existent, and that any art must inescapably bear implicit (or sub-conscious) meaning from its creator or at least inferred (or sub-conscious) meaning from its consumer. Hence Surrealism abandoned the pretense that art meant nothing and just stopped fretting about a clear consensus meaning. But, you're right, I was oversimplifying.
On this matter, I've seen original Duchamp ready-mades in at least two major museums in my life. They are still considered valuable and significant, in spite of just being urinals with Duchamp's name on them.
Meaning is indefatigable!

What Was That Film? / A Old 1950s movie. Where a guy...
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - Today at 03:27:42 PMI only saw about twenty minutes of the movie. I think it was made in the 1950s — most likely late 1950s. It was in color, sort of the same kind of looking color at the Movie The Searchers. I believe too that this was a John Wayne movie. It is possible though that this was from that Kirk Douglass and Anthony Quinn movie, Last Train from Gun Hill.
I believe strongly that this was a John Wayne movie though. I remember a scene where there is an old guy out on his porch with his dog. And some people come up to him and approach him. I think they were wanting to know something or get some information about something. And they saw this guy's dog. And they said something like that is a nice dog. And the old man was like, Oh thank you. And then they say, what is the dog's name. And the guy says, His name is dog. And the people sort of look at each other befuddled and they say something like, seriously what is the dog's name. And the guy comes back more cantankerous, I said his name is "Dog! What is their something wrong with your hearing!" At least that is how I remember the scene. The main question though is what is the name of it.
Points that I am almost hundred percent sure about, but I could be wrong about!
——> It's a John Wayne movie (any movie from like the 1950s that looks a certain way and has a certain feel to it and definitely if it is a western I might say it's a John Wayne movie. Without confirming it. It is possible it was Last Train from Gun Hill, but I really think it was some John Wayne movie. Probably not one of his better known ones.)
——> That it is a western (It could be one of those stoic sort of like Dust bowl type of movies. And the way it was shot, sort of rustic and in old farm locations I might have assumed it was a western.
Appreciate the help. The internet has been no help at all on this one. It has been like the sting of a thousand cobras. I guess even the internet is turning into Grumpy cat these days. With trying to find out information.

Good Movies / Re: Creepy houses in movies?
Last post by Trevor - Today at 10:59:08 AMQuote from: M.10rda on Today at 10:32:41 AMThe creepy (and oddly designed) house from LOST HIGHWAY that Bill Pullman lives in was apparently David Lynch's real home. If I was Mrs. Lynch (maybe Mary Sweeney at the time?) I'd be nervous about going to bed at night. Lynch also shot scenes for INLAND EMPIRE in his backyard. A real DIY kinda' guy.
You just made me go 😳 with that info. I didn't know that.
