Weirdest Film

[AndyRM]

I've just remembered Killer Tongue, which I love.

I'd love some of whatever they were on when that got signed off.

One that's quite mainstream but still as mad as frogs - Under the Skin - with Scarlett Johanson as the spooky alien man farmer/hunter. The critics went nuts over it, but it left me undecided TBH, and I'm as pseudo-intellectual as the next man.

I read the book after seeing the film just to compare. Unusually the book is a much more conventional narrative than the film.

Very uncomfortable viewing. Rather long too.

This is on Film4 this week; a Leos Carax film, Holy Motors, I think it qualifies as weird.

7 pages and no mention of Naked Lunch.....


Naked Lunch then....

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Most of my favourite films are weird: Eraserhead, Inland Empire, Lost Highway, Videodrome, Naked Lunch and many more.

I'll also add Begotten, Un Chien Andalou and Society.

Ahem...

Ahem...

in my defence I was skim reading.....lets keep this between the two of us...

Sorry, I saw it too. Both the film and your post.

And what's that I spy? A googlebot spidering away collecting evidence. It's a language virus 'bot as well. Everyone reading this post will die in a very Burroughs way; naked batboys with pulsating penises and flutes up their arses will see to it.

Got any spare drugs?

Would mescaline do?

But wonderful! And that applies to The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus too . I love Terry Gilliam's work (except, that is, for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas which I thought was awful.)

You haven't seen Zero Theorem then?

That was dreadful...

... Where's the worst film ever thread?

After two failed attempts at Dr Parnasuss... I've not got round to Zero Theorem yet, although I've had it for months.

 

[MossCommuter]

No I haven't - should I not even try?

In the sense that bad ones help me to appreciate good ones I think all movies are an experience so I'd not tell someone not to try but I thought Zero Theorem was tripe.

I see about two or the movies a month on average. This one was one of the worst in the last 18/24 months.

Actually, I take that back; Tomorrowland was worse but that's in danger of taking us off topic

I liked it, for whatever that's worth.

Just watch it and make up your own mind.
