movie nerd
Good lord, my Netflix queue just passed 300 movies.
It would be more impressive if I had a better track record, but I keep renting shit that looks good and is actually awful.
On that note, if any of you reading this actually enjoyed the movie Gozu, please tell me why. I love weird movies, and experimental cinema, and all of that nonsense. I have a high tolerance for bizarre situations and bodily fluids and gore. But Gozu was just BORING. I can't believe so many people gave it a good rating.
And just for reference, I loved Ichi the Killer.

I liked Gozu and Ichi. The reason I liked Gozu is because it reminded me of a David Lynch movie by John Waters. (I thought it was funny. A parody or something.) And I hate David Lynch.
I liked Gozu because it made me feel uneasy, which movies don't do very often. It had queezy orange overtones and a few things that I know I'll probably never see again - lactating madwoman/demon/demonkeeper/what in the fuck ever that movie was actually supposed to be about/ to name one.
It's a Beat Takeshi movie, isn't it? Mr. Tarantino's style was influenced by that guy's direction.
I also love trading Ichi to people, seeing something else I want from their trade list and being able to say that I have Gozu - though I'm not interested in seeing it again, it's a popular trading card that helped me to get the NIN concert DVD. *flash horns*
Queue THAT.
