goose Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not to derail this thread, but although I've watched The Hills Have Eyes (1977), I'm not completely sure I'd want to see Cannibal Holocaust (1980). Has anyone else seen Cannibal Holocaust?Parts. It's vile...with snuff film elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, using the tactics of Felini, he makes fools of his detractors including the greatest detractor of all, Woody himself. For many reasons, I rank this among his best. He removes the restraint of plot, and just goes balls out nuts with his usual philosophical angst, and endless worship of beautiful dames. Oddly enough, without the fetters of convention, to me it was actually less pretentious or indulgent I think people like to call it, and a lot easier to understand and empathize with. One thing that I've always found absurd, and ironically what this film dwells on, is the complaints by fans and critics that he should go back to making comedies. Woody cannot not make a funny movie. If he's in it, and he's talking, I'm laughing. Especially back in this era, when his jokes were so fresh. So make no mistake, this film is loaded with comedy. Finally, I liked his choice of women in this. Charlotte Rampling is what I suppose the word breathtaking was originally meant to describe. If you arent touched by the final scenes with her, you got issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad accent there. Chappie looks good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Babycat, Cannibal Holocaust belongs in the "disturbing movies" thread...it´s The Hills HAve Eyes on steroids. Forgot there was that thread - eventually found it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waluigithewalrus Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Last movie I watched was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Never really watched much silent film before, but I've got to say that that movie was pretty darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was gonna be a Stan and Ollie double bill for me, but I found there was way too much Bo Peep and other shit and not enough Laurel and Hardy so I gave up on that.

Segue Myles Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Pearl Harbor I am going through a very stressful time, and big budget Hollywood schmaltz is exactly what the doctor ordered. I do not care what the critics say, I think this film is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
