  • Antichrist (2009)
    We’re doubling down this week on selections for our overarching year’s theme called “A DREARY YEAR OF LARS VON TRIER”. By the end of what is already a complete shithole year, we will have discussed a dozen movies by the dreary Danish auteur Lars von Trier. We’re now over halfway there. Today’s film discussion is one of his most notorious and amongst the smallest casts we’ve ever discussed for a movie. It only stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg (and somebody’s little German kid) as “He and She” who are struggling to cope with the loss of their child who crawled out the window while they were love tunneling. “He” decides to dedicate psychiatric techniques upon his wife and go out to a secluded cabin in the woods called Eden. It’s there when the nature of evil, and the evil of nature, unravel all around them. Hold onto your dicks and clits, folks. Von Trier’s psychological horror ‘ANTICHRIST” from 2009 lives up to its brutal reputation. Don’t mind the stillborn fawn and the fox eating itself. They will check up on us later. They say this was the talk of Cannes that year. When are we gonna get to go to Cannes? Do I gotta cum blood to get into a prestigious film festival or what?

  • Paths Of Glory (1957)
    We’re approaching the end of July’s theme of GLORY & PROPAGANDA. How appropriate that this month has men carrying guns in every discussion. When you’re a French solider in “The Great War” you gotta keep your head on a swivel, even in them trenches. Then you got these shithead commanding officers who seem to want to throw you on the meat pile quickly. Displays of common sense might seem like cowardice to the guy who doesn’t have to do the bullshit he commands you to do. Is there justice? Perhaps a dramatic turn of events that saves the lives of brave soldiers? Don’t expect that here. People got brass buttons they want to get. Once again, we discuss a Stanley Kubrick feature., the 1957 anti-war film “PATHS OF GLORY” starring Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, & George Macready. Maybe not the first Kubrick war film you think of but one that is just as essential to the history of war on film. You know we got a link: https://archive.org/details/pathsofglory1957_201908

  • Jarhead (2005)
    GLORY & PROPAGANDA means war movies all month long and there isn’t very many war flicks about the first gulf war. “Three Kings” is one you might think of immediately. On the other hand it’s an interesting thing to capture the mundanity of a particular conflict and during that first gulf war in 1990, a lot of soldiers charged up without seeing quite as much action as they prepared for. I mean, shit got hot but folks were more like to be accidentally bombed by their own countrymen than getting it from an Iraqi in a hand-me-down Russian tank. Today we discuss the mundanity of militarism in this adaptation of Anthony Swofford’s Marine memoirs, the 2005 film “JARHEAD” directed by Sam Mendes and Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard and Jamie Foxx. A unique war film that was released during the actions of a war that you could say was the sequel to the war presented here. A sequel that was considerably more destructive and withstanding. What’s it like to get trained to be an elite killer and then get completely blue-balled out of killing? Makes you kinda feel like one of those trained killer whales at Sea World. I don’t blame whales for attacking us. We’ve had it too good. Will these boys finally “get some” or will the only people “getting some” be their wives and girlfriends back home getting railed by some Jody college boys? When you gotta be with the boys you might as well be gay. Put that sentence in a recruitment commercial.
