Nadene is watching I'M STILL HERE, this documentary on Joaquin Phoenix. what does this documentary tell me? That his brother should be alive instead of him. He's snorting coke off of some girl's boobs, kissing Puff Daddy's ass because he thinks he's a hip hop star, and in general, proving that he's a scumbag waste of skin. I wish that i'd not seen it, because i don't really mind him in WALK THE LINE for all of it's flaws. But he's obviously a douchebag who deserves a punch in the face.

Just watched SALT also. I like Phillip Noyce's films, for the most part. This was pretty good, but not as strong as some of his other works. The script and lead actor may have something to do with that. Hard to beat Patriot Games. Anyway, Noyce directs action very well and creates (in my opinion) believable characters and settings for them. He manages to establish faces and places before he really gets the ball rolling, which is important and skipped over by many directors these days.
SPOILERS
The main difference that I noticed is that in the extended Unrated Director's cut, Salt is shown killing all of the other Russian agents on the boat. This is not shown at all in the other cuts, which makes the audience uncertain still about her loyalties and motivations until the climax of the film. So while I appreciate the extra violence/action being available to see, the film may actually play better in the tighter, shorter versions.Last edited by paul h.; 12-24-2010, 05:37 PM.

SALT>>>Also my player glitched/pixelated in the longest cut during the transition of the end of the boat sequence into the next scene. this was the DVD version. Anybody else have this problem? Worked fine during the same section in the other cuts, so it may be a branching/authoring weirdness.

I finally got my first two 'grindhouse' non-mainstream type BluRay titles this week:
STAR CRASH - it's trippier than the new Gaspar Noe film, first 20 minutes of Caroline Munro in that disco-bikini is worth every cent. The shit FX, Christopher Plummer trying to give the film English-Shakespearean class, it's just hilarious shit fun on every level and doesn't take itself as seriously as the seriously shit George Lucas drek.
MANIAC - I've seen it twice before but forgot about it. This time on BR I took it more seriously, I mean it's just one horrible vicious murder after another, there's no plot, and Spinell is just perfect as a sweaty blob of drek, didn't Ron Jeremy play a serial killer in a porno? I couldn't help thinking that they should put Vincent Gallo in the remake. The extras were cool, especially Tom-Botox-Savini talking about how basically they just flew him to New York and stitched him up with porno actresses and they were just partying the whole time. The guys who wrote the song 'maniac' was funny too. I dunno I get a weird vibe about 'Maniac' it's kinda like Lustig has been trying to legitamise the film in the same way Ron Jeremy used to pretend he was a legit actor and not a porn star.....
