YouAreMySilence: The Road

YouAreMySilence 12.22.09	So yah what are your opinuins of the movie, book or both? And yah neo classical recs or recs of any kind would be great. And I'll add the next part of my top '09 will be put up as soon as I'm at my father's house. And my top 100 of the decade asap.
SeaAnemone 12.22.09	book was pretty boring, I should see the movie though
PuddlesPuddles 12.22.09	Well hell you just pumped me up and excited for the movie
Relinquished 12.22.09	I haven't heard about the book/movie
Prophet179 12.22.09	1 is their best, followed by Horse Songs. Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music I Olafur Arnalds - Dyad 1909 Stravinsky's later works Anything by Brahms
djanus69 12.22.09	Book was shit, the movie was shit, cormac mccarthy is shit, you're shit, this list is shit. End of story. Moving on
Burn2Burn 12.22.09	This was the movie i was looking forward to most in 2009 and it isn't coming to theaters where i live, ugh. just gonna have to wait for it to hit dvd. also, fuck yeah @ 8
tombits 12.22.09	haven't read the book yet, although i need to for literature next year. from what i've heard, it's going to be an awesome read.
Bfhurricane 12.22.09	I've heard a lot of awesome things about the movie, definitely plan on seeing it soon. Right after I see Avatar though.
Zoo 12.22.09	I've struggled not to give The Sea and the Bells a 5 on numerous occasions.
iranscam 12.22.09	Book was really good though far from McCarthy's best. I'm not expecting much from the movie.
thebhoy 12.22.09	gonna see the movie when it gets to my neck of the woods. Pretty sure I'm getting the book for Christmas, but if not then I'm buying it.
YouAreMySilence 12.22.09	I remember Program Music I being quite excellent, though that was before I got into anything classical so I need to give it another listen. Will be sure to give the rest a listen asap. And djanus you calling Cormac Mccarthy shitt makes you an obvious troll. I had to go to a remote theatre in Calgary to see it, which is odd because it was advertised quite well. Yah Burn2Burn, it's probably gonna be even better when it comes to dvd, cause the movie is acually an experiance. Like it's one of the only movies that acually had the same effect as listening through some of my favorite records, if that makes sense. Any other recs would be much appreciated.
robertsona 12.22.09	love 2 6 and 7
YouAreMySilence 12.22.09	And ilu.
Dotcommy 12.22.09	What I don't understand is the book was purposely vague and nondescript to correspond with the bleak gray post apocalyptic world. But the movie looks like a typical Hollywood action/disaster film. How is it good?
Homewrecker 12.22.09	Like all of McCarthy's other work, can't touch Blood Meridian. But it was pretty good.
qwe3 12.22.09	you needa watch more movies man
ninjuice 12.22.09	It's not in our area and neither is Red Cliff which really really really sucks
FigNewtns 12.22.09	1 is p cool. used to listen to them a shit ton.
YouAreMySilence 12.22.09	Than any other movie recs?
qwe3 12.22.09	before the devil knows you're dead twelve angry men inside man casino russian ark
breesuschrist 12.22.09	book has its moments of brilliance, but all in all i think its a little boring and done before to a degree. still will check out the movie though
DiceMan 12.22.09	OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GO SEE THAT GODDAMMIT YOU REMINDED ME IT LOOKS SO GOOD THE ROAD IS MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!!!! Thanks though, seriously. Book is fucking amazing.
CelestialDust 12.22.09	i want to see it because aragorn's in it
Deviant. 12.22.09	qwe: Russian Ark is insane
thebhoy 01.25.10	Dr. Strangelove and La Grande Illusion. Watch those.
TricksterGRex 01.25.10	the average person probably couldnt handle la grande illusion tbh
JWT155 01.25.10	The movie was depressing as fuck.
ninjuice 01.25.10	So is Requiem For a Dream...
thebhoy 01.25.10	Requiem For a Dream is overrated. Trainspotting is a better film about similar themes. And yeah La Grande Illusion probably isn't for the average movie goer, but it isn't overly artsy, which is why I like Renoir so much. He always manages to make this technically intricate, layered pieces into a relatively accessible package. Plus Jean Gabin is amazing, so yeah.
ninjuice 01.25.10	"Requiem For a Dream is overrated." Not at all.
thebhoy 01.25.10	yeah, I shouldn't have used "overrated", I hate that word. I just find that it turns the characters into caricatures instead of human beings, taking away from the effect, but I'm in the minority in this opinion, I know. Until the Wrestler (though I haven't seen Pi) I don't think Aronovsky knew how to handle a story and a lot of his films felt like they were from someone just out of film school.
ninjuice 01.25.10	That would be one hell of a film school.
thebhoy 01.25.10	hahaha, no what I mean by that is that he uses a lot of trickery and whatnot instead of good story telling/filmmaking. Though, he really corrected and balanced his technical abilities with a well constructed narrative on The Wrestler, and it resulted in his best film, imo.
Greggers 01.25.10	Pulp Fiction > every other film ever
ninjuice 01.25.10	Requiem is his best but I'm fine with everyone acknowledging Aronofsky rules.
Wizard 01.25.10	Funny I saw the title to this list because I'm seeing the movie tonight hahahaha.
YouAreMySilence 01.25.10	Nice bro!
tombits 02.08.10	Hunted down this list to say it's an incredibly beautiful film... some of the most stunning cinematography I've seen.
