| Quote: |
A human being contains 5 liters of blood, 6 pounds of skin, 206 bones, 600 muscles, and 35 million glands. It takes a human body more than 25 years of life to grow such things. But one man actually believes he can rid himself of every single piece of human flesh by just using straight scissors and a small surgical blade. And he is going to prove it. |

I recommend you see...
This is a request for recommendations. I'm doing this list: http://www.flixster.com/movie-list/its-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-4
I am looking for absolute end of the world movies, not just a dystopic society (got a list for those at http://www.flixster.com/movie-list/the-best-of-dystopia )though some like 'Quintet' can chill on both lists. And my BIG caveat: NO studio movies from 1990 onward, only indies and foreign. If I get a suggestion for 'The Day After Tomorrow' or SpielCruiseberg's 'War of the Worlds', I will find you and beat you down 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' style. The thing I'd most like to find is a silent flick about the end of the world.
And if you are one of the few people who hasn't seen the uberclassic Vincent Price's 'The Last Man on Earth', you won't regret it no matter what your taste in film, as it is a solid movie.posted 14 days ago -

A Certain Kind of Death
by KellyThis is a superb documentary, not interested in probing its subjects (indeed no documentarian or film crew member is ever heard from) but instead settles to observe. The people interviewed seem to be allowed a free forum for their thoughts, like the director told them, "just do what you would normally do and help us understand what your job requires you to do".
"Faces of Death" can totally suck on it because this crew ALSO got LA county morgue access, and they got just as awesome footage as you guys did, cept it wasn't all heavy handed and laced with shock value like the FoD series. This is a film that shows what is - what a modern pauper's death and burial looks like, exactly. Not much sentimentality, just what we find out about the person from recovered legal forms or papers left in their houses. We first meet these people as decaying remains. The camera is not afraid of dead bodies, even extreme cases and bodies left to decay as long as most of these are usually much more severe to look at than other corpses. So there are many things here you may not want to see in our bubbled modern world, and that luxury is afforded to you because of the people who work for coroners and mortuaries. This movie shows us exactly what these jobs entail; the best example in the sequence in which bodies are prepared for cremation and then cremated. It's a beautiful naturalistic filming technique and the result is pure reality. This is what life, and death, are really like, and it may take a hell of a lot to watch this. But if you're a sick objective fuck like me, you're just going "those are some great shots of blood filled body bags" or "look at that...died on the shitter. Probably what'll happen to me. I better make some skydiving arrangements ASAP if I get bowel cancer instead of waiting around my shitty apartment and making mounds of 'gonna die' documents."A solid modern doc for my cinephile friends and a challenge of sorts to the "horror fiends" on my list to see if yall can stomach the real deal. This is an Instant Watch on Netflix, so added accessibility there.
No one on my friend's list has seen this yet, and I did send to a few people who marked 'Not Interested' and yall especially are totally welcome to bitch me out for impishly promoting something so unnerving and bleak, but I just think seeing this film or something like it (preferably in real life) is essential for people who are not aware of what real death is like and how our society currently deals with it.posted 26 days ago -

Fausto 5.0
by KellyA step above the typical horror movie; this is more accurately described as a surrealistic/existential thriller. The most remarkable thing about this movie is that it is engaging, it whips by and leaves the viewer wanting more. The pace is incredible, the rendering of Mephistopheles is unforgettable, odd, and distinctly without religious trappings. Actually, that is another quite remarkable thing about this film that it avoids religion altogether and instead approaches the Faust story as one man's degrading and distorting vision of life. Not as gory as it is said to be, but extremely atmospheric and included gore is pleasing and effective. This film assumes the audience's prior knowledge of the Faust legend, as some plot events may seem arbitrary, illogical, or unjustified (particularly the end may not make sense) when it is in fact representative of the details in Goethe's and Marlowe's Faustus and Faust respectively. You don't have to be familiar with those texts though, a quick synopsis review on wikipedia will do to give you enough plot knowledge for this. Not at all a disappointing version of Faust, but indeed a very modern and effective rendering.
This is conveniently on Netflix Instant Watch, where I saw it.
I've always liked the Faust legend (Murnau's version is my favorite). While this is not as art house as Jan Svankmajer's Faust, it is certainly a modern Faust that expects its viewers to be in a mood for subtlety and analysis.posted 30 days ago -

The Dark Knight
by KellyJoin with the other AGENTS OF CHAOS and UNFRIENDS OF BATMAN to rip on 'The Dark Knight' at http://www.flixster.com/conversa
tions/1100974
Don't tell me all you fansters are *really* that satiated by this movie? Surely, it's the drought that has left you all suffering from dehydration (and delusions that this is a "great" movie as opposed to "acceptable").
Masterpiece?!?!?!?!?!!? why so serious fanboys?NOT A TYPICAL REVIEW/RECOMMEND!
Trying to exclude people already who posted a reply, sorry if you got included. Just to bring attention to a Conversation thread I started http://www.flixster.com/conversations/1100974 aimed at the "grandiosity" surrounding "The Dark Knight" and undermining said thingy with "few drums of gas and a couple bullets".posted 34 days ago -
