Annelid's blog: "Ramblings,thoughts and assorted stuff"

So tonight I shall watch either of the following movies : 1. Gummo. 2. The Brown Bunny 3. Der Untergang 4. Irreversible 5. Philosophy of a Knife 6. Cross of Iron 7. Angel Heart I've seen Gummo,Der Untergang, Angel Heart and lastly, Cross of Iron before. I pretty much loathe the more commercial movies out there but occasionally if I want to shut off my mind I'll watch a mindless action flick. As for Der Untergang and Cross of Iron, nothing like a good WW2 flick, especially knowing the out come...i.e....lot's of dead Nazi's (always a good thing in my book). Gummo (directed by the guy who wrote "kids" I believe) is a bizzaro film. The only scenes I object too are the ones with the cats. If you've seen the movie you know what I'm refering too. Irreversible , well all I can say about that is, it's ultra violent. Think Clockwork Orange but much more violent. Philosophy of a Knife is based on UNIT 731, which was a Japanese Army Medical unit stationed in China during WW2. And they did horrific experiments on people. If you've ever seen "Man behind the sun" than you'll understand and I guess, appreciate POAK. It still boggles the mind that they did what they did as they were "following orders". Sigh. A few days ago I watched "Quill" about the Marquis De sade. Not the 1st time I've seen this particular movie but the acting is amazing in it. And I love period pieces. And with that I'm off to heat up something to eat and then off to watch a flick.
