Where'd you get that? Kubrick was told about and read the last chapter while in pre-production, but decided against including it presumably because he felt it's something of a cop-out. To say not including the reformed Alex means the film only 'gets' half the point is genuine idiocy on a base level - it's a far more interesting, complex work if Alex doesn't just decide what he's doing is wrong and goes off to start a family. There's more to it than that, obviously, and although it does break the 21 chapters thing, it's better without it.Henry Spencer wrote:Yeah, well, as legend goes, supposedly Kubrick never finished the book before finishing making the movie, and he did say he regretted that decision.
The last film I watched was Sympathy for the Devil and the next one I'll watch will be The Mirror. Hope this is useful to everyone.

Oh come on Rick! I'm trying not to create a flame war or anything but hear me out.
Spoiler:
Back on Topic. I just saw Pulp Fiction, pretty good movie. I'm in the process of watching Seven Samurai. What a movie!! Absolutely blown-away so far!! Reservoir Dogs is next.

Just saw the 1972 classic The Godfather. I liked it a lot. My next movie is Blue Velvet (1986). I hated Eraserhead. But on the other hand I loved The Elephant Man and I liked a lot of David Lynch's short films so I'll watch this one with an open mind.

I wouldn't exactly call Godfather a cult movie. It's far too popular for that (IMDb #1 and all...) But I agree, it's an amazing movie.
And everyone hates Eraserhead, but it's for very different reasons. It's that damn unique!
Blue Velvet is sick and twisted I must say, Lynch has never been more vile, actually. Hopper is the epitome of chilling in that film...
The Elephant Man is a masterpiece, John Hurt's best acting, ever. I'm such a Lynch fanboy. Haha.

What in Jonestown makes you say that? I absolutely love it personally, and it's probably the most critically successful of Lynch's films - according to Rotten Tomatoes, it is, anyway. It has a 93% rating for gawdsake!Henry Spencer wrote:And everyone hates Eraserhead, but it's for very different reasons. It's that damn unique! :lol:

True. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I wrote that post. Calling it a "cult classic" was really stupid now that I think about it. I still wouldn't call it "amazing" though. I thought it was very good, but not amazing.Henry Spencer wrote:I wouldn't exactly call Godfather a cult movie. It's far too popular for that (IMDb #1 and all...)

I wanted to like it. I really did. But it was JUST SO BORING! No plot, no dialog, nothing happens! NOTHING! Lynch made some good short films and I saw part of Blue Velvet and liked what I saw. And he directed The Elephant Man. Enough said. He has talent! Why did have to make something so boring?!
Henry Spencer wrote:Blue Velvet is sick and twisted I must say, Lynch has never been more vile, actually. Hopper is the epitome of chilling in that film...
From what I've seen so far, I'm inclined to agree
Henry Spencer wrote:The Elephant Man is a masterpiece, John Hurt's best acting, ever.
Agreed! That's one of my all-time favorite films!! Just one question though.

Yes, Eraserhead is hated upon for many reasons that I hear so many times, it just drains me when I hear the same ones over and over again. 'It's boring/too weird/self-indulgent/boring/likes to think it's something it's not/not weird enough (funnily enough, people tend to use that excuse when they can't of many other things to say negative about it/I just don't like it (easy way out)/boring/impossible to understand and did I say 'boring' yet? The amount of times I have heard people say it's 'boring' is unbelievable. Too weird, I can understand, but boring? Come on!
That's what I meant by that expression, Rick; everybody seems to hate it for 'different' reasons. They just don't know how to form their expression when it comes to negativity, and have their opinion heard about it. I love Eraserhead, in fact, I named myself on just about every forum I have signed up with after (only TUS in which I have not), under the alias, Henry Spencer; the protagonist and the antagonist of the movie (in my opinion).
As for Elephant Man; like people say, fiction is only subjective, it should be different with every viewer, everyone takes something different from another person, that's the beauty of a human being, we're all so different, so unique. I personally found the ending upon first viewing to be really upsetting and I decided to watch it again a month or two after, since it was on my mind a lot, and watched the ending again with another viewpoint entirely. I could tell you the same thing after watch One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, I had a similar feeling of sadness after watching the film, and watched it again and found that there is a glitter of hope by the ending, it was just not how I predicted it should or would end.

I was bored rigid while watching it. I mean, maybe I missed something but what I saw was just a bunch of meaningless images strung together by a crying mutant and a guy sitting in his apartment. That's it!! I swear this movie is probably the most un-watchable piece of trash I've ever seen! Of course, that's just my opinion. I hate Eraserhead and you love it.

The Elephant Man wasn't pure fiction though. I'm pretty sure there was a real John Merick.Henry Spencer wrote:As for Elephant Man; like people say, fiction is only subjective,
Currently watching "The Big Lebowski". Pretty funny movie.

Mine hated it too. I watched it with both of them and 20 minutes in my dad turned to me and said "Ben, I've had all I can stand from this thing." and walked out. After the movie was over the first thing I said was "What the hell was that?" my mom, who suffered through it with me, said "It was a waste of time." I just nodded.Henry Spencer wrote:Don't worry, my parents hated it as well,
But maybe we should end this argument about Eraserhead here. This is clearly something we'll never be able to agree on. Let's just keep moving.
I said it wasn't pure fiction. I'm sure most of it was fiction but there must of also been some factual elements.Henry Spencer wrote:And I think a lot of occurences in The Elephant Man was fiction, it wasn't meant to be an accurate portrayel of John Merick.

Watched '300' and animation called 'Spirited away'.
Both were good movies, 300 is little bit overrated IMO, but still it was good.
Spirited away was nice looking animation, fun and interesting story too.
rating for both movies: 3½/5
next i'm going to watch 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' and Luc Bessons 'Nikita'
