[The Third Man]

Any more old foreign film classic suggestions are welcome.

Pépé le Moko, Le Corbeau, Shoot the Piano Player, and Touchez pas au Grisbi.

+ Bob le flambeur, Le Samourai, Le Cercle rouge, Le Doulos, Le Deuxieme Souffle (everything listed so far is Jean-Pierre Melville - love that guy), Breathless, Band of Outsiders, Quai des orfevres, Le Trou. Old French crime movies rule.

That and Antichrist are both on streaming. I'm slightly curious if I can watch one after the other without killing myself afterwards.

Antichrist has some moments that are very difficult to watch, lending it an element of the pornographic/exploitative, but I think it is a pretty interesting, provocative film. Worth watching.

I know I mentioned it awhile ago, but Flame and Citron is streaming on Netflix and is a great foreign film.

Deathly Hallows is going to make nearly $150 million this weekend alone. How many billions are going to be spent watching the Harry Potter and Twilight sagas by the time they're finally played out? How many Potter and Twilight fans could we sterilize for that amount of money?

If you can write (not that well, even) and figure out what comes next in this series you will be very rich:

1. Wizards
2. Vampires
3. ???

[cpebbles]

Nope.

1. Easy-to-pander-to nerds.
2. Easy-to-pander-to preteen and teenage girls.
3. ???

It has nothing to do with wizards or vampires, it has everything to do with selling rote escapism to people who are naturally inclined to think they are the center of the universe.

It's really unfair to compare Twilight to Potter. One is literary garbage, one is at the very least a decent fantasy series.

Movie adaptions of Harry Potter range from good (the first two) to decent (the 3rd) just plain crap (the last three). All three Twilight movies have been vomit inducing garbage.

[The Third Man]

Whoa whoa, the third one is way better than the first two. And the best in the series.

I agree. I think I've seen four of them and number three is the only one I liked.
