hey bloom why you getting rid of that fritz lang flick , not any good , been wanting to see that one for a while , but will have to pass am really short on sb`s
now ill go respond to your last comment

by elrocho at 8:54pm November 28, 2008


Reading is that what your supposed to do with those things they call books , i thought they were just made for me to roll some joints on them , and wipe my ass with those pages lol suprisingly i do read , a lot too . and suprisingly except for a leonard Maltin film review book( that i pick up in the laundry room), it hasnt cross my mind to be on the look out for books about film history or directors biography , I really cant explain why , but now this seems like a great idea , thanks for the recomendation ill be on the look out for some , this will probably suprise you dho , except for The shining, Stangeloveand a Clockwork orange I dont really care for Kubrick fims ( aldo i like a bit and would own)2001 and Full metal , and i dont really understand why every one was so hype about that directors , Eyes wide shut was one of the most boring films I ever watch, that was a pretentious peice of shit in my opinion. Also except for his Gangsta flicks ( excluding the boring Gangs of new york) and Taxi I dont have strong feeling about the other Scorsesee flicks , Speilberg and Stones also have a lot of hit and miss for me . But your irhgt about Penn and Altman aldo i know a lot of the films they did , I have only seen 2 films from both each . The boring Popeye and the good The player and for penn both great flicks the quirky Penn and Teller gets killed and Bonnie and clyde .

Thats why i love checking a lot of biography and docs about films on TVO , awesome source of films recomendations . I saw a great one 2 years ago on Moviepics about canadian Horror films , dont remember the name dho , one of the most interesting docs about canadian films i have seen.

I also cant really say i have a huge place in my heart for canadian flicks( french or english ) except for for Bob Clark and Cronenberg , I am not that knowlagable about a canadian director , I agree with ya dho Atom is a great director to bring a chic too , but not really my cup of tea. Am suprised your not familiar with some french canadians flicks , specially the ones from oscar winner Denys Arcand ( Les invasions Barbares , Le declin de lempire american , Jesus de montreal )ect... suprisingly not one french canadian flick has really wowed me ( t.v shows are different dho), have got a few in my collections but mostly comedies , but i do admit that Bon cop bad cop suprised me a litle , would love to see more french english co-prodution

rewatching Calvaire , what a treat , be on the look out for a small review in the gropu , also keep in mind that Renegade , is a bit all over the place and has some flaws and is not your conventional western , have you seen and like the fountain , if so your gonna really enjoy the end of renegade. Also dont forget The last horror movie , truly a hidden horror gem , imagine if Patrick Bateman ( more sain and not a killer because of repressed sexual feelings) was inspired by The blairwitch and Behund the mask and decided to document his life has serial killer , well this flick is it and it works really well

oh been meaning to ask you if your a fan of Lynch (i have seen every filmwell except for his shorts ) . I love his films but wont call myself a hardcore fan since i do understand whay some will say that his films dont make sens at all , I have no trouble making sens of his films ( even if am left with stuff that dont seem to fit anywere) I always found that lynch was one if not the most intersting dorector to watch at work. But with Inland empire , the fucker lost me on the road of his new journey. it wasnt because this was the most hard to follow and comprehend flick i ever saw , but more because of is choice in camera , what the fuck is the point of watching a lynch flick , if you cant appreciated , the mix of colours , the lighting and every single detail in a room . Inland empire was a huge huge disapontment in that department , if he keeps shooting with a cheap digital camera i have to say that am gonna fluch him , even if it's the directors that fucking amazed me with Lost highway

In deed I did recomend Sheitan , just saw your small feedback on it , glad you found it entertaining , I had a feeling you would like it . intersting fact about that film , is it's the youngdirectors first feature film , him and a couple of the actors you saw are a group of guys in the same lane has the broken lizard comedie troup , instead they dont really do comedie , they have done a bunch of shorts before cassel noticed them and ask if he could play in a couple of them ( for free i think) , he did and they ask him to be in their first feature film. But if you were trying to find a frenchy delivrance kinda movie , i see why you felt that way , but honnestly that isnt it . the one your looking for is Calvaire aka The ordeal , imagine if Lynch (in his prime) would try is hand at some horror , it would look a lot like this one , this film is a must see for people like us , am proably 99% sure your gonna like this recomendation has much has Baise-moi
dont forget to check out The last horror movie.

I happen to be a big fan of Cassel , am glad he started to get noticed by english folks thanks to films like Derailed, The birthday girl , Oceans 12 and 13 and Pink Panther , but moost people dont even know that Jan Kounen ( dobermann) has directed a recent westernin english staring Cassel and a bunch of good seasoned american actors . Its called Blueberry aka Renegade ( youll have more luck finding it on Renegade) , It's nothing has mesmerizing has the rencentThe proposition ( if you havent seen it do)

Also is there some french canadian films and directors that you like , have you see Maelstrom , am pretty sure you would love it.
also what do you think about french and english co-production , after the good Bon cop bad cop and the awesome Dernier chapitre/last chapter t.v series , i dont understand why they aint more of them

thanks for pointing out that Lurking fear was on dvd, it also made me think of another horror film I would love to see Night of the creeps , cant ind that one.
you proably noticed that i want ot see Flying high on dvd , you seem to have a classic movie knowledge and know whats out on dvd. Do you know any titles staring Burt Lahr ( love that actor hes the guy that palys the lion in wizard of oz) and the Mad house flick your looking is it the same has me , the underappreciated comedie flick with John Laroquette and Vhristie Alley

also would love to get some suggetsions from you about some recent flicks to be on the look out or if you know some good underarted canadian flicks
take care big

Man oh man , thought Simon would of setle everything by now , since i saw that he did send you a comment ( after me bugging him like crazy lol , i can get annoying when thing dont go like they should lol). Real sorry about everything that went wrong there Bloomberg , I saw that he also hasnt mark his item received in bulins ratings , maybe he his waiting to see what hell get , but i do know that he is a pretty damn busy person and from my trading with him quite trustworthy . I suggest you leave him a new comment on his page , since their may be a chance he doesnt see your last one. Man sometimes i know i have a new message but cant find what original message it was written on.

anyway have a great evening bud , i suggest you host this christmas exchange am sure youll have better luck if it's not hosted by adamn fucking jinx like hell dirty french men lol

Don't worry, everything's okay, I'm still in the gift chain (though with a little bit of fashionably-late) and plan on sending you (when I select one of the movies from your list to buy) soon enough... I'll take the title you keep secret in no time after that...

Till next time, have a good one.
Simon B.
