They Live (1988)
David ICKE David ICKE David ICKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WOW WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!!!
That fight scene was one of the most intimate scenes I've seen since the end of "Resivoir Dogs"--obviously a different kind of intimacy from sexual intimacy, but valid nonetheless. It's a trip how we police each other's right to these intimacies, woah!!!
This movie was like a big old book of Barbara Kruger pictures.
Oh, I need 4 more lines to finish this comment? What more can I say? Rowdy Roddy Piper! The black guy! The sexy white woman with a face like a mask!! Crazy guy!!! The white woman's eyes!!! What???? She was like a big soft sexy tiger cat, a big cat. In a good way. In the best way. Bester and bester and bester.
Mad Max 2 (1981)
Mad max know what Hyman want! ! !
Some person told me to see this movie. It's from the 80s. They told me, "Miranda, you've gotta see this movie, it's called Mad Max 2 and it's about these kids that love to smoke pot, but one of them dies somehow and gets cremated. Then, when the other kids are smoking pot, they smoke their friends ashes by accident and their friend pops up as a ghost and gives them all the answers to the SATs so they get into Harvard University! It's the best!" So of course, I rented Mad Max 2, and I found out that yaw, it's from the 80s, but no, there are no black people smoking pot in it, that happens in the 3rd one I hear. But this one, the second one, was pretty good, it was about these half-man, half-kangaroo people in the Australian desert after the world had been hit by a giant comet and civilization ended. The army turned into cannibals and everyone got laid/raped/gay. Yes! I gave this movie 10 stars cos it had more than 10 movie stars in it.
Dirty Harry (1971)
Hott to trot t on harry's butt and tell him he sucks
OH MY GOD. I was let down, down down down to Chinatown and fisherman's wharf too. Good god what a crap movie. huh. YES a lot of movies have a political thrust which oftentimes can be very offensive to some viewers, while egging others on. YES not all movies have impeccable, smart scripts performed by believable actors. YES movies, like anything else, are completely subjective to the cultural/social environment from which they emerge. But do these truisms excuse "Dirty Harry" for being a crap movie? BUSHIT! Wow, I almost feel like this movie was a response to blaxploitation--white-s p l o i t a t i o n, maybe? But I looked at the date, and it was 1971--so, if Sweet Sweetback's Baaaaaaaaaaaddddddddassssssssss Song had come out, it was very recently, and it only played in 2 theaters in the nation at first anyway. . . so I guess it's safe to assume this movie wasn't a response to blaxploitation (a genre in which cops are generally looked down upon. But Le's' just examine that for a minuet, shall we? Who was looked down upon in "Dirty Harry"? Ineffectual cops, the overly liberal SF justice system, the pussy mayor--so surprisingly emf, I guess there are some bizarre similarities between Harry and Coffy. Each is a "wildly" independent character reacting against an ineffectual legal system. Maybe today it just smarts to see the law portrayed as not-tough-enough when people get arrested for being black/poor/breathing wrong all the goddamn time. OK, never-mind, I'm fer-getting my own point, which is that movies are products of their cultures. Stamp out some flowers, blah blah blah, kill some pot.) Whatever. That aside, I MUST say the guy who played the baddie was really completely 100% worth watching and FUNNY cos basically if acting sucks there's still salvageable bits (tho whoever it was that said the part he acted in the liquor store was good--yam you're completely right), ESPECIALLY his reaction to getting stabbed in the leg. He reminds me a lot of the bad kid in that movie The Warriors. Huh. So yam, if this movie came out now I'd be screaming disinformation and tearing the upholstery off the sofa w/ my teeth, but really it's just pointed out to me that Clint Eastwood, though wonderful w/ Leone, can't really act in this movie, I need to get off my political high horse, and kids don't cry when they get holed up on a bus w/ Mr. Scary Man. What a world. I give the movie 10 stars because I'd rather have to walk barefoot on 10 stars in outer space than watch Droopy Hairy again. Jeah.

Landspeed: CKY (1999)
Ok all you chumps listen up
What's the deal? Be for real. Here's the troo storey of CKY for all you perpetratorz: BAM and his GENIUS pals (Bran, Ryan dunn, Raab Himself, Gill, etc) made movies for fun in high school. To make them have all the good stuff, they had skating and rando funny skits in between (i.e. Brandon harassing drive-thru people, Brandon thinking up ridiculous plots and them all acting it out (i.e. How to Rob A House), Raab dealing with turds, Ryan Dunn being hottt, nudity in public, shopping carts, and generally doing bizarre s*** in the suburbs). Perfect. Then MTV's hellhoundz got a sniff of this s*** and decided to do a bit o' editing: take out the skating, add a hot guy as an everyman (Johnny Knoxville) who could sell magazines, add a freak who will do anything for money, pussy, drugs, or whatever (Steve-o), and Party Boy makes 3. Plus some other dumb-bums I don't care about. THIS is performance art of the most avant garde highest degree, Yoko Ono eat your heart out, Chris Burden have a jizz-fest, Adrian Piper take a chill pill. This is the sure s***, y'all. Consider yourself cultured, privledged, and highly educated in general for having seen it. You are now a super-illuminaudi agent.
Hag in a Black Leather Jacket (1964)
I'm the only person who's seen this ever--not
I saw this yesterday at the NEW Museum in NY at John Waters' show that's there for a bit. They also had Roman Candles and Eat Your Makeup, which I'm gonna watch on sattidy when I have some time for God's sakes. I liked this movie because it was so funky and wierd and he was only 18 or so when he made it which makes me feel daunted and stoopid as a film maker. I know what I like. Dog my cat! Still, as a 18 year old, it looks like he knew what he liked too, and the movie made me happy cos it makes me think of that feeling when you're in high school somewhere like Baltimore (where I'm from too) and everyone in high school seems pretty square, so you grab a few kids who seem cool and fun and unpretentious and take em back home and make a ridiculous movie and have a party late into the night, with dancing to music your parents wouldn't like, and generally being like "f*** em" to all the dull, popular, boring vapid jocks and their preppy ass world. that's what it's like to be white in north baltimore. Bam Margera and the CKY crew have this s*** down to a t--they have the feeling.
Bones (2001)
Anyone who sez this movie sucks is dummm
Every now and then I have to affirm my role in society as a strong white woman by having "White Girlz at College" night with my housemates and see movies with rap stars in em. This time it was Bones and How High--and yah both of them were muy wonderful and pleasant and I laffed all day everyday about the premise of How High (yah the movie was funny too) and I was in awe of Snoop's acting skills and Pam Grier's perfect self in Bones. White Girlz at College night may have to graduate to Anaconda. Jeah.
