Hmm, right now: David Lynch, Luis Buñuel, Jean-Luc Godard, Terry Gilliam.

All good choices, though there are still quite a few David Lynch movies and Jean-Luc Godard movies I need to see before I consider myself well-versed in their work. 

Cet Obscur Objet Du Desir is one of my favorite French films.

If you don't have any Lynch films at hand, he's got a lot of short films and commercials floating around the YubeTubes that are amazing.  I highly recommend his animated series Dumbland.  He drew it himself and does every voice.  Every episode of Twin Peaks (except the damb pilot) are online too.  http://www.cbs.com/classics/twin_peaks/  The pilot is unimportant though, as long as you know that there was a murder and a body was found and an FBI agent arrived in town to start the investigation.  Shit really gets started in episode 2.

For Godard, good starting points are Breathless and Band of Outsiders, and a good ending point is my favorite Godard film, Week-End.  It's hard to describe, and is kind of about traffic jams, car crashes, and the collapse of capitalism in 1967 France.  Turns out my school's offering a Godard class for my last semester.  Great timing.  I think I have to take it.

You know, you're generally a useless bohemian pinko hippy bastard, but every once in while you prove yourself valuable.

Twin Peaks online... Now I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day.

Apparently bohemian pinko hippy bastards aren't very good at operating the intardweb. Here's the correct link:

I just copied the link from the Wikipedia Twin Peaks page without czeching if it worked or not. It worked for me before, and I don't know why it would've been changed. Weird.

Heh, they redesigned the CBS site and all the links changed.

I only posted it because I like calling you a bohemian pinko hippy bastard, really.

Twin Peaks is amazing. I have also seen Eraserhead, which is one of those kinds of movies that really sticks with you. That is all I have seen though. I really want to se Mulholland Drive, and I will check out some of Lynch's shorter stuff.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Ill just disrupt this thread a bit to ask if anyone else has seen The Decalogue?



"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murders will foam up about their waist and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...

 ....and I'll look down and whisper  "no."

My mate gave me a copy of tokyo godfathers for my birthday. I haven't watched it yet though (I'm guessing I should).
