Funny Games (2007)
The only thing disturbing about this film is that it stole my money
Pretentious, boring, torture porn (which is just boring) pointless, waste of time. And those are the good points. My question is Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? You even had a previous movie to tell you how meaningless and contrived this was going to be. Shame on you. A pig with a tux is still a pig. Heneke YOU SUCK! Okay, so I have no more comments worthy of this flick, but IMDb insists on more. Huh? What is this bullshit? More? I need to have a certain number of lines to make a full comment? Someone please explain to me this inane rule? Come on IMDb, how about short and sweet? Don't see Funny Games. Hows that? Enough lines yet? Oh oh. They might block me now. Fascists. 'attempts to pad your comment will result in you being blocked' you mean Eastern Blocked? As in East Germany? Or the old Soviet Union. Are these comments being screened by some nerd in a cubicle jacked up on Big Gulps? Yikes!
Rubber Johnny (2005)
need a story to move to features
Chris Cunningham is a genius of FX and editing when it comes to establishing a tone or touching on a theme. But when it comes to telling a story (as Borat says) "not so much". The story in this slice of a locked away 'elephant man' is not a story as much as is a glimpse into a world abhorrent. The 'rubber' part of johnny is all in his mind, we are to assume seeing as he is a cripple when ever that door opens. Perhaps only the dog can see those 'liberation' thoughts. That's pretty much it. I would love to see Chris do a full length feature using his skills directing a well written story, (like mine). Chris, if you read this, I have a script that is perfect for you. It's got all of your favorite themes, style of humor and outright creepiness that is your signature. You can find me through Motel Films in L.A.
