YOU LUCKY BASTARD........This guy seems like a hoot.

how did it go?

it was amazing .. i think Chris and I were both in shock for the most part.

he's a very funny guy .. when Chris posts anything related to the interview (or the Bad Lieutenant review) i'll post it here.

So who is it.

really ?....surprised at you NE.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001348/

I didnt recognize him either.


I saw Grizzly Man only a couple of days ago, quality documentary about a strange man.

he's up there with Polanski as 2 of my favorite filmmakers of all time

fitzcarraldo is a wonderful film.

hmmm...I just figured he had one of those universally recognized faces.


and seeing that neverending is like the oldest guy in the world...he would have known him. :D

thats the one he signed for me :)

You guys seen the trailer for Bad Lt yet? Looks like a fuckin' stinker.

It's getting rave reviews pretty much across the board.

This film looks like nothing but lightweight American Pie bullshit compared to the original but everyone will lap it up and call it art because of the names involved.

Can't believe the shit Herzog said about Abel Ferrara especially the "Who's that?" deal..... pretty fuckin' arrogant.

I guess it'll appeal to the people that liked the US version of Funny Games and give hipsters shit to talk about by the water cooler. "Did you see what Herzog did with that NY B-movie.... AMAZING!"

in the interview Herzog was pretty funny in person ...
he gives off that German arrogance vibe but he seems like he's joking when he does it - so his Ferrara comment may have been taken a little out of context.

My friend Chris who reviewed the film (and also interviewed Nicholas Cage) loved the film.

You're probably quite right there. I wouldn't have a problem with this film if it had a different title.

Herzog was pretty funny in Harmony Korine's flicks :cool:

What the hell does that have to do with anything? The director re-did his own movie and you're saying it's completely inferior? Why? Because there aren't any subtitles and you can pretend the foreign acting was better if you don't know any better?

Herzog's the man... who else gets shot and still continues with the interview? BA

Its a pointless remake that more people will end up watching than the original was what I was getting at. It's inferior because it was a rehash with less convincing actors... Michael Pitt sucked.

WAT?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Why were they less convincing?

People watching a foreign film who do not speak the language the film was shot in, often misinterpret the acting because they're not getting all the nuances of the speech. This sometimes leads to folks believing a performance is better than it is.

I also love the fact that you're convinced it's a pointless remake even though the writer and director felt otherwise.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Well if the writer and director felt otherwise I really should change my opinion :rolleyes:

Arno Frisch gave more menace to the role and I thought the more unknown actors (well to me) as the family gave it a bit more punch and I felt more empathy towards them.

That's pretty condescending.

Wow, you pick up quick, I wish I had a cookie for you.

my thread is no longer a happy thread

I don't know.......cookies make me happy.

What about a cookie girl?

Anytime there are fantastic pictures up of a great film-maker it's a happy thing. Even if some asshole like me comes along and derails things a bit. ;)
