Music Banter - What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Someone is bashing Wes Anderson films? Not gonna happen on my watch. Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, Royal Tennenbaums...all classics.

Plus he uses some great music sometimes. Seu Jorge singing Portuguese covers of David Bowie songs? Genius. David Bowie even said he prefers some of those covers to his own version.

Kubrick's gonna be feeling mighty sad now...

-also, Wes Anderson is awesome. And he does use great music... I love the Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack.... almost as much as the movie itself.

Lynch is quite depressed also. However, I think they'd love to see me recognize the master who influenced both of them.

Bullsh*t. C'mon, you can like it or not, but low key it is not.

It was good I found the acting pretty dated though. Rebecca Demornay was sexy in it I'm not sure why.

Kubrick and Anderson are two of my favourite directors.

Lateralus, Erin Brokovich is such an amazing movie. I really think this was one of Julia Roberts' best performances.

Also, great incorporation of other visual arts, but she is multitalented so it all felt more genuine than other films dealing with such things.

Man, I felt pretty much the opposite. It seemed like such a forced effort at being precious to me.

Watched it last night having just read the book. I found it followed the book very well, but I failed to see why Sean Penn earned an Oscar for his performance. All the acting was good, but I found Sean Penn a little cheesy at points and unable to correctly convey the persona of Jimmy in others. I felt like Penn portrayed Jimmy as more of a villain, where as in the book, his actions are explained and somewhat justified. Also, they don't delve much into Jimmy's past, where a lot of his character development comes from. Overall it was a good film, I would recommend reading the book to compare.

Just saw William Friedkin's Bug last night. I really think its his best after French Connection and The Exorcist (although I havent seen Sorcerer which I hear is great). It was based on a play and from what I read it follows it pretty faithfully, and you can really tell that it was a play because of a the dialogue (which is great) and the sole location. I dont see why this movie was so panned when it was released, I thought it was very effective
