Southland Tales is a weird movie and something you have to see for yourself.

It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar ( Buffy the vampire Slayer and Dwayne Johnson ( the rock )

You want weird movies, try "Eraserhead" by David Lynch. Lynch is famous for making oddball movies, and oddball TV shows. Twin Peaks was one of my favorites back in the early 90's.

I'm a huge fan of David Lynch, he just happens to tick all of my personal boxes regarding what makes cinema such a fantastic medium. He's an incredibly talented visionary and I can't fault many of his films.

Yes Lynch is great. :applause::applause: I can watch Mulholland Dr. and Lost Highway over and over again and still find things that haven't noticed on previous viewings. Still Lynch's best film is The Straight Story which is not weird at all, just awesome.:medals:

Classic Lynch scene from Lost Highway

I think the most incredible scene in a Lynch film for me has to be the scene with Rebekah del Rio in the theatre in the middle of the night in Mullholland Drive. It just asks so many questions of itself and us, and gets more and more profound every time I see it.

I've got a profoundly creepy movie to throw in here. Let the Right One In. Let just say, if you're a teenaged bully tormenting a twelve-year-old boy, you'd better be sure his new little girlfriend isn't a vampire...

because i just recieved http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183252/ from amazon today, and the film you mentioned is one of the previews.

HOLY MOLY!!!! i will definitely be looking for that one.

btw, chocolate is probably one of the coolest martial arts/action films made in many years. jeeja yanin is going to be a woman who changes the game for this type of movie.

When you've seen Let the Right One In, chezzy, please post what you thought of it. You appear to have seen a genre movie or two.

i will, but first i have to find it. i doubt if they have it at the local blockbuster.
funny how we have the film festival here in toronto, and so may people glory in that, yet, finding anything that isn't your run-of-the-mill hollywood big budget blockbuster is near impossible to do. if i ever fell into a pile of $$ i swear i would open a video rental that only stocked the kind of movie you don't find in the rotating display at the supermarket.

They do have it at Blockbuster. I've seen it. For Blockbuster not to rent something it has to have some fairly realistic looking sex act or the like. Hollywood sex is fine. Human being sex is verboten. You can rent all manner of torture porn with no problem. In Scary Movie, the "serial killer" carves Carmen Electra's breast implant right out of her chest with a butcher knife and that was considered comedic. Don't even get me started on the movie ratings board.

I owe you one!:applause:

I just watched Southland Tales last evening. I was expecting wierd and got it big time. I think I spent the entire movie with a grin on my face. I kept thinking to myself, "You've got to be kidding me." everytime something new happened, which was about every few moments. :)

Exactly my kind of wierd flic. Tooooo much fun!

Thanks :)

EORA, you ain't kidding about that! i once rented a movie called "pistol opera"
i swear i thought it was a shoot-em-up flick. next thing you know, i am seeing a naked girl of about 8 or 10, in a "relationship" with an adult woman.
although they did give me 2 free rentals when i took it back and vociferously complained, they didn't remove it from the shelf or add any warning.

I kept thinking of Star Trek, with all its alternate timeline stories, especially the Original Series episode about what happens if the same person from two universes meet in any one universe. (I can't remember the name of the episode off the top of my head. The time travelling character's name was Lazarus.) This movie also oddly reminded me of Salman Rushdie's The Ground Beneath Her Feet which takes place in an alternate universe with all sorts of dimensional rifts. I swear these people are all Star Trek fans.

ATTN: Cheezyflier,

Now that I think of it, you can rent Audition at Blockbuster.

One of my favorite Jet Li movies is "The One".

This is the one where he's a bad guy who travels from one dimension to the other through wormholes to find and kill all his other selves. Each time he does it makes him a little bit more powerful. If he can manage to kill all of his other selves he gets to be "The One". :)

It's not that it's the best Jet Li movie, I just really liked the concept.
