so, my friend mike just put up a review i wrote of harmony korine's mister lonely a few months back, so i thought i'd pass it along:
http://esotikafilm.com/
if you look at the top left, the link to my piece should be there.
oh, and take a few minutes to click around there in general. mike has probably the most idiosyncratic taste in film of anyone i know. he's particularly fired up about this certain breed of arthouse erotica from the 70's (jess franco, jean rollin, shuji terayama, etc.). and he's probably more interested in radical sexual politics and the like than simply seeing some lady that looks like sophia loren get molested by a werewolf (or whatever). actually, he's gay, so he's probably not leering at the girls much anyway.
if you spend enough time on there, you'll undoubtedly find the occasional not-safe-for-work screencap. but not in my piece!

Nice review despite the dead sheep spoiler at the end. I guess this comes out on netflix on tuesday. I just got kent mckenzie's 'the exiles' and 'melody' recommended by t.c. off of karagarga. commence eyeball gluttony.
I'll have to see it, then re-read the review.
I'm definitely in to the recent pseudo-bio-pics...
"I'm Not There", "W". "Nixon" (Oliver Stone also), is going to be a difficult one to watch after watching an excellent documentary on him by PBS.
p.s. Next Halloween I think you should be Lincoln.
i didn't think about this, but i'm not there might have been useful to watch prior to writing that. i still haven't seen it. the only todd haynes flick i've ever been totally sold on is safe (amazing!)... mr. lonely is pretty far from a biopic along the lines of the oliver stone ones though, obviously.
i have a feeling w. will be entertaining even if it's a bad movie. the thought of richard dreyfuss as cheney is pretty entertaining in and of itself.
