dreadnought posted:So there's a film festival in KC this weekend. I know this is really late and the thread has moved on (sorry - I can't read while I'm teaching, so I catch up when I get home), but Why Don't You Play in Hell? is completely insane and loving awesome. It's like a blood-splattered Yakuza version of Cinema Paradiso mixed with American Movie. It owns and I hope tons of people see it. I hated The Congress and thought Mood Indigo was a really creative mess that didn't work. So, take those for what it's worth.

Speaking of yakuza movies, has anyone seen Last Life in the Universe (2003, dir. Pen-Ek Ratanaruang)? I caught it recently and mostly dug it, but it made me realize that I've probably seen more deconstruction-y yakuza flicks than 'straight' ones, which I feel like I need to do something about.

Coneheads is not the deepest of movies intellectually, but I don't think it's possible for me to watch it and not grin the entire time.

My girlfriend put this on netflix the other day. When Phil Hartman showed up I got really bummed out. While it's not really GOOD, it was still a lot better than I remembered it. I got called a "yankee human being" at a bar in Texas once. I just laughed, said "Really?" and then hoped I wasn't about to get the poo poo beaten out of me. Luckily the dude (wearing cowboy boots and hat) just wanted to drunkenly yell a few more slurs at me and then walk away.

FishBulb posted:Get it from Stroud's (KC crew knows what I'm talkin about ) Awwwww yeah, Stroud's does in fact own all of the bones. Best fried chicken in town, if you've got like an hour to wait to get it. Pizza Ranch is one of those places that everyone should really go once in your life, just to believe it. The thing I didn't realize until I went there is that it's REALLY Christian. Like, the owners openly state that they opened these restaurants as a ministry to serve God and spread the word. Through an all-you-can-eat orgy of greasy chicken and stale pizza. There are tons of hidden crosses in the decor, and the only music they play is this Sirius station called "The Message." Every time I go there (there's one really close to me, and my dad really likes it, so we go there somewhat frequently), I'm tempted to write one of those totally bewildered, condescending "immersion pieces" about it. Also, KC doesn't really have any great pizza places, and that's a little depressing. I mean, we have a lot of really good ones, but none that are like legendary status "you have to go here" kind of places. I always get a hearty chuckle anytime I hear about "St. Louis-style BBQ," but I'll admit y'all got your pizza game on lock. My favorite place in the city is Leo's, which is a St. Louis-style pizza place that, honestly, is so much better than Imo's* it's not really comparable. *Disclaimer: I have been to Imo's like 3 times in my life, and only one of those was actually in the 'Lou. dreadnought fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Apr 16, 2014 |

They also have minnow shots (which I will not do because I value life...sorta) where you take a minnow out of a shot glass filled with water, throw it into the shot of alcohol, and then pound it down before it dies so it dies going down your gullet instead of the alcohol.  They celebrate your birthday by whipping your rear end with a belt. Note, that is not me.

FishBulb posted:Minsky's is pretty good. I completely accept that St. Louis-style pizza is disgusting to like 75% of the population, but I have a crack-like addiction to that Provel cheese. I also accept the fact that I have a gutter palate. I've been in college for six of the past seven years, so I'm at the point where I'll eat anything as long as it has cheese on it. Minsky's is indeed dope. Papa Keno's was my favorite by-the-slice place but I'm not sure where any others are after the one in Westport closed. There's one in Lawrence still so they didn't completely go under.

I Before E posted:uh what I don't know what it is. It's light fun and amusing but some are shamed to go there and don't want people to know, others are like gently caress it (me), and will hang for a bit of amusement. I had a co-worker go there who was being made uncomfortable because the waitress was overly friendly with him and flirting and he was like "Uhhh...what?" I think half the point is they do shock stuff for attention. They had a day that was announced as "Wear anything but clothes day"

Your description of it sounds like how I'd describe Science of Sleep and Be Kind Rewind, which I enjoyed despite their messiness. Maybe I'll just YOLO it and grab the pass. I'd really like to catch Dazed & Confused, because 1) that movie owns and 2) Spirit is the Spirit is a pretty good band (that I coincidentally had to miss during the music portion of the MotM Fest due to a schedule conflict with another band). edit: OH poo poo BREADCRUMB TRAIL.

TrixRabbi posted:So THIS is what people are talking about when they mention the patriarchy. It is an interesting wonderland. The waitresses can do nearly whatever they want and the customer takes it, sometimes enjoys it, sometimes is confused and frightened, however the place is owned by a man. Some of the girls look like they're having a blast being ridiculous and others probably want to go home and drop out of character. Like no one goes in thinking "I'm going to get twerked to my face." but then it happens out of nowhere and you're like "Wait...for real did that just happen?"

dreadnought posted:No worries on the tardiness. The thread derailed really quickly after the original post, so I don't think anyone actually replied. That movie sounds bananas though. The biggest thing I'll say about Mood Indigo is that it takes a very unexpected tonal shift that I felt really didn't fit the movie around it. That being said, I did end up seeing a shorter American cut (about 90 minutes or so); apparently there is an international cut that is about 2 hours or so. So the international cut might make the final act work more/build to it better. But I can't say enough good about Why Don't You Play in Hell?. It's not for all tastes - it's bloody as gently caress and it does whatever it feels like, genre-wise - but I loved it. It's like a gloriously insane love letter to celluloid that also features a lot of Evil Dead 2-style severed limbs.
