Machete don't text is one of the greatest lines of recent cinematic history, but I totally understand that it's not for everybody - it's silly b-movie fare after all.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-77169937586186558462012-08-17T02:51:18.672+08:002012-08-17T02:51:18.672+08:00Sorry if I started a bit harsh.

I've always had this preconceived notion that hes mainly the Spy Kids director. But looking at his catalog El Mariachi and Once Upon A Time in Mexico sound great so I may need to rejudge his films.

I saw the trailer and it looked almost shot for shot identical to an OK original. <br />Von Trier's edge has almost certainly not been lost, he's very much still a film maker that challenges the viewer to do more than consume but until I see Melancholia I can't get past the idea of Antichrist.<br />I'm surprised by all the love for Bernie actually, seeing Jack Blacks name mentioned made me think it would be another not great but not bad Hollywood project for him. I will watch it anyway and all the love sent its way has raised my optimism.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-35956456715508221022012-08-16T15:00:23.311+08:002012-08-16T15:00:23.311+08:00Thanks, they're all responsible for some of th...Thanks, they're all responsible for some of the best movies of my lifetime whether the effect they had on me as a person, a film fan or a wannabe film maker.

I'm with you on Fincher. He is trash to me now. I've always felt he was questionable, but The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was absolute garbage. I still really like Aronofsky and Von Trier and don't feel like Von Trier has ever lost his edge. I wish that Linklater would stick with more interesting stuff....actually his movie this year Bernie was rather interesting. I love Woody Allen. One of my faves.
