i haven't seen all of the remake of funny games- but after watching the first 25 min or so it did seem shot-for-shot. haneke is so fantastic, either way.
and your list was great meat- gives me quite a few movies to check out...I think jacob's ladder and oldboy both belong at though, perhaps dark city as well.
antichrist was more fucked up than just too, in my opinion.

hooray for gozu though.

Srsly?! Then it surely is the most pointless movie of all time, why the heck would they do that?

I don't know

Of course, this begs the question, why remake it at all? Haneke is directing it, so it might amount to a second-chance to clear up some mistakes on his end. That and I guess we can't deal with subtitles.

Hahaha, that was so weird

Originally posted by MeLLyMeL Yay or Nay? I just saw one that is going down in the books. The more I read about this directors previous films, the more I see he is really fuked up! I just saw 'Enter The Void' by Gaspar Noe. It is insanely long, pornographic, heavy, and they do just about any drug imaginable (DMT, LSD, Coke, E etc...) The whole movie is told in the perspective of the brother - even after he dies. You see important moments that happened in his life with his sister. It's a very shakey cam - reminds me of Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up. SUPER DUPER LONG. When he dies he basically floats around (takes way too long to float from one place to another) - little dialogue in the movie. Since he can't really talk after he's dead - he is just witnessing what is going on after he dies. Noe's got other movies where 1 guy from Daft Punk made the soundtrack but all his movies are weird (like a guy fuks his autistic daughter). BUT.. It's unique, different and I liked it. OO and if you have epilepsy - don't watch any of his movies.

damn you... watched that movie.. fucking hard core... I enjoyed it but it was just fucked up, like you said.

BTW, hate to burst your bubble but it wasn't that original - irreversible used similar concept and if you can manage the first 10 minutes of it, rest is a very fucking good movie. Also, the whole "SMBU" perspective is cool but sometimes annoying - like I sat there wanting to raise my head so I could see more but obviously, it's a trick.
