and i got home and realized misspelled my away msg, which was supposed to just say 'run lola run' but instead read 'run lol run'
and i thought that was hilarious
the music director for the movie It's All Gone Pete Tong is named Lol Hammond and i laugh everytime i look at his name on the poster thats hanging in my living room.
lol i swear, the thought process behind this movie: "yo so i saw trainspotting the other day, and man those two scenes with the underworld tracks playing, the crazy detox/exorcist baby scene with dark+long train or w/e and the end scene with born slippy, so fucking good right! okay so i was thinking we basically take those two scenes and make one feature length movie just like em, it'll play out like one big music video, its gonna be awesome! what do you mean underworld won't write shit for us? fuck them, we'll just find some german guys to do it."

of course not, but i thought that this was far more engaging than some action blockbuster like terminator
there its mostly action thats interesting, whereas run lola run was much more involved on a mental level. to me the constant running if anything served to keep the viewer on the same level as her, constantly trying to figure things out. idk, i thought it was anything but dull
edit: lol i'm also half playing devil's advocate because i'm in a film class and right now writing a paper on the movie, and i regard you as the premiere film buff around these parts

well are you supposed to defend movies you think are crap?
I'm not saying this one was but ... I guess you are supposed to do a detailed analysis etc of the movie but I don't find much depth in this one.
Franka Potente has been viewed as the leader of the new Germanic cinematic wave because of this movie but the Lola character has become a curse for her (recent interview she was talking about trying to disconnect herself from this stagnant public conception of her as Lola). Happy to see it brought her to Hollywood. I saw a short movie she directed and I liked it. But this was far from being her best work ( it was one of her first major movies actually )
The other one I posted ( Julietta ) was much more deep and was based around the whole Love Parade drugs etc ( hence me naming it ) but no one has ever seen so you wouldn't have a clue ( except if you are in germany I suppose ).
