but seriously the film is terrible on every level. i dont really care it has nothing to do with the atmosphere/horror of the first film, but jesus atleast make it good.

game over man is cringe

It's good when you're ten years old (or less). Considering the merchandising after that film (action figures, comics, etc) that's exactly what they were aiming for.

I really enjoy the awfulness that is Alien Res, though. :allears:

Nah, his stuff just makes people uncomfortable, but it's good. Spring Breakers owns.

Spring Breakers only works because of Franco's commitment to Alien and the stunt casting of Disney tweens in bikinis. Everything he does is just " what if a retard had AIDS then raped a baby and that baby raped other babies then ate some poo poo and pooped out that poo poo then hosed the poo poo and gave it AIDS hey society look at the mirror I'm holding up to your face".

Well yea, Franco's "Alien" was an awesome character, and the whole Disney Princess aspect of casting was great too; you basically watched girls who grew up being watched by tweens 'Break Bad' due to their own characters perceived struggles. It's a very interesting film that sees Korine mature his viewpoints on...

I've seen Alphaville and Pierrot le Fou and loved both of them. I want to see more but it's hard to choose because the dude made (makes?) a shitton of movies. Any recommendations?

I've given up on Godard.

I like Breathless and Pierrot le Fou, but Contempt, Week End, My Life to Live, and Masculin Feminin left me cold. The bits of his later films I've seen look pointless.

Truffaut is a lot more fun. The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, and Day for Night are absolute masterpieces.

Alphaville is pretty out there. Having grown up on 80's and 90's movies it seems weird that it's generally accepted as a sci-fi movie, but I get it.

I figured I'd check out Breathless, what with it kicking off his career, but otherwise my plan was to stick with his work that Anna Karina is in and that seems like a good course.

As far as contemporary stuff goes I really liked Valhalla Rising. A cursory knowledge of viking myths and history definitely help. The scenery and cinematography are loving on point though. Mads Mekkelsen stars (but never speaks) and Nicolas Winding Refn wrote and directed it and those two seem fairly popular around here if that helps.

I watched three of Louis Feuillade's 1910s serials in a row a while ago. Fantomas, Les Vampires, and Judex. They may be a century old, but they're awesome.

Judex is probably the best one. He trolls the bad guys via a French poodle that walks upright, with a message attached to its collar that they are losers.

Yeah that movie is very 2001-ish in a way. The thing I hated about it was the pointless walking. Otherwise the seduction sequences and those two dudes turning into loose skin was pretty great. I liked the opening sequence
