Good Movies / Re: Creepy houses in movies?
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:12:52 PMQuote from: Trevor on 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.
For the second time today, I misspoke somewhat. It was definitely Lynch's "house" - though apparently one of a couple buildings on the property, so it's unconfirmed whether he and Mary Sweeney slept there or somewhere else in his "compound". For her sake, I hope it was elsewhere!

Humorous Captions / Chuck Yeager in Split Personal...
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - Today at 04:18:23 PMNot sure when this will end. If it will ever end. But yeah.
I don't know many times more I can take the word Naive. "One would be extremely naive to believe that life didn't exist on other planets." I mean what does that word even mean anymore. In today's culture. If you sing a cappella with a group of lousy singers then you are being naive? Maybe these ET's all come from the star Capella. And A capella originated from aliens who a long time ago came to earth and taught us all how to sing. And you would be extremely "naive" not to believe that. Ok.
Yeah I know these are astronauts and so they automatically have more credibility than the rest of us little people. But more and more I am actually doubting that and not in a Michael Shermer way, but in a real legitimate way.
If anyone else has any other clips or videos of NASA astronauts or Air Force pilots talking about things they saw. You can add to this. I mean if you watch this interview and really that includes so many of these testimonies and interviews from Pilots and so forth it literally looks like Ed Wood. Plan 9 from Outer Space. I mean these people act like we are all just automatically clueless. And I don't buy it. How many of you guys think that a potential Staged Alien invasion is what this is all about. Or Blue Beam or like a money making scam tied in to Wall Street and the Bigs?
Some places call this movie The Long Weekend.
I feel like in a way, this movie in 2008 is one of the first predicting Covid movies. I mean call the movie whatever you want. People just literally dying all over the place and out in the woods and no one really seems to care or be overall concerned. Just blare out some loud music and drown out the horror around you. I hope this film comes out on Plex someday so I can give it an actual real review. For the time being Jim Caviezel is too good of an actor and too high profile. And so I am just making passing comments. I think a lot of this film though tries to go into humanities neo surreal primeval past. Where Nature wasn't something to just run over or trample over but everything, include a tree or a flower or a bee had a symbolic purpose entertwined with your own. Mesolithic, the Reindeer age. And the whole mystical element of life. And Jim Caviezel and this lady friend of his tries to interrupt that by having a pancake picnic.
Unfortunately I don't think the humor in this movie works. What does work to me is the indy feel of it. But after that has expired you are spending a lot of time just looking at Jim Caviezel with his shirt off. Fun. Probably not a bad one time date flick. If you know someone who likes to collect Grumpy cat posters, this is possibly up their alley.
Ok. Look Chuck. Football is great! The Cheerleaders. Ahh, they are unbelievable.
And the Line Scrimmage and getting mean in the opponents Face. LikE GRRR!!
Rigght, eh Chuck..That is Soccer n'est-ce pas? Except these "cheerleaders." I have never seen those? Tell me more about those!

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).
4.75 /5
edit: Also, art should have just gone from Monet to Picasso to Pollock. Dada and Surrealism are more in the realm of philosophy and illustration, respectively.

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.
