Post a status update on your Facebook page right now on how much you hated Cabin in the Woods or how much you loved Coachella. Do it!

i don't have a facebook, did he do this?

[p.r. teo]

did your girlfriend claim to be jesus? seriously though, no one is this stupid.

No. She studied the occult and paganism and said she witnessed a friend do what she was trying to do several years before.

This is what I was talking about when I say nobody ever believes me.

i don't have a facebook, did he do this?

Why would I jump like a dog because some asshole named Oolong said to?

she's a liar and she didn't witness this. no one can die and come back to life 3 days later. your girlfriend was clearly retarded.

I got The Tree of Life in the mail today.

you're girlfriend was clearly retarded.

Hey man, I simply wanted proof you are who you say you are. I'm still not completely convinced, but I will go ahead and find time to watch your movies now. I've watched plenty of shitty movies in my time willingly, so I'll go ahead and give yours a chance.

Also, I saw Cabin in the Woods tonight which I found to be great fun. It's definitely not a movie for everyone, but it certainly doesn't deserve to be shit on. I'd put it in the same class as Rubber though a heck of a lot more insanely entertaining.

Have you ever had insomnia? Sometimes the only thing that helps me get to sleep is reading boring stuff on the internet. Your posts in this thread have been good to me. You're like Ambien.

I didn't say it took me days to figure out my girlfriend was dead. I knew she was dead. We talked about it before. She had these ideas that she could come back from the dead. I got the ouija board tattoo on my back as per her instruction and we did a ritual and shot up, my first time in many months. It was a strong dose and knocked me almost out. I don't expect you to watch/appreciate a show as good as Breaking Bad, but if you did, there's a part where Jesse and his girlfriend are on heroin together and while he sleeps, she dies from a overdose. This is basically what happened to me so I can't say what kind of overdose it was - I'm a filmmaker, not a doctor - I just know that she intended to overdose and when I woke up, I guess you could say, she was dead. I thought she was right about being able to come back to life and the heroin probably didn't help me to figure out she was wrong. She said it shouldn't take more than three days so I waited around and on the fourth day, it hit me that she was wrong. I thought I had lost count of days so I waited one more and when I knew it was more then three days and still she was dead, I called for help.

You can't say horror movies can't be good or controversial if you have never seen mine. Have you seen Liberata Me? Children of the Arcana? Necromentia? Dead Inside? No? Then you can't talk to me about horror.

Keep telling yourself that you're holding out to make something with "actual artistic content" and not that you haven't made a movie yet because you aren't good enough to.



If you could read correctly, the audience had a good time. "fun and games for everyone."



First my Facebook, now my blog. I'm not one of those babies who is going to cry to a moderator about my privacy being invaded but you're a real sack of shit to bring my kids up. If I tried to make movies in Arizona where they live with their mom, I would make no money, could not provide for them. I go where the work is and make lots of money, something you wouldn't know about. And I see them more than every three months. More like every two weekends. My dad wasn't very attentive and it hurt growing up knowing that his job was more important to him then me but I appreciate the lesson now because it taught me how to be a better dad then he ever was. I'd say maybe some day you would have kids of your own and respect what I do but looking at your face, it's obvious the last vagina you touched was your mom's when you came out of her.

No, I didn't watch any of your shitty movies. I do however notice that they don't seem to clear any better than a 4.2 on IMDB. Some of the worst movies ever fucking made by humanity still beat a 5.0. Why would I possibly waste my time watching your shitty, obviously incredibly genre-muddled storyless bullshit? I'm just basing that on the synopses I'm reading, which make actually having to watch your crap completely unnecessary. If you're that fucking bad at summarizing these pseudo-edgy postures at originality, well, watching them would only be a futile exercise in pinpointing EXACTLY how much you suck.

You're right, you should get a medal for seeing your kid twice a month. What an exemplary human being you are, finding the time in your busy schedule of pursuing your dream to add to the glut of shitty movies that come out every year to drive a few hours back to the place where a human being who depends on you for giving them a healthy, happy life so you can spend a day and a half pretending you care about them.

Have fun being a "successful" filmmaker. Personally, I'm happier knowing that I'm not a shitty person whose selfish drive to become a famous purveyor of trite crap has outweighed my responsibilities as a decent human being and grown man.

[thelastgreatman]

Also, it takes about six hours to actually die from a heroin overdose. There's no way you passed out for much longer than that, so again, allow me to heap praise on you for being so smart as to believe your girlfriend that she can come back from the dead, and thus in the process you let her die when you could have saved her life. Way to go, buddy. You helped a crazy person commit suicide because you're a fucking idiot.

[cutterbutter]

Thanks for ruining one of the few threads I like reading with this crap.

[thelastgreatman]

Everybody wanna act like they forgot about Dre. "Dre" in this context meaning "the repeated atomic bombs of deeply personal abuse you suffer when you decide to involve me in some dumb shit you're saying."

[Shaxspear]

Unless you lived in a refrigerator, there is absolutely no way you would have been able to handle the smell of your girlfriend after being dead for four days.

[tyles]

THIS, and I blame it on P.R. Teo, mostly.

[KungFuJoe]

If you all care to keep a discussion on talented Asian American filmmakers the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival is coming up. I usually try to take in at least one film at this event. Normally going for more of the action oriented films I've heard about. Overall, martial arts films are my genre of choice. This year I plan to check out Blood Letter.



Any other suggestions? http://laapff.festpro.com/films

[schoolofruckus]

Actually, you would be the best one to answer this, as you have probably seen one of his movies. Is Pearry Reginald Teo anywhere near good enough to justify the hubris that Randy's alias is espousing?

[PotVsKtl]

Horror enthusiasts do have standards. Sort of.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Los Angeles Times is experimenting with making their Hero Complex blog into a Youtube show and the first episode is a nice interview with Ridley Scott.

[p.r. teo]

Well, she is dead now so no need to insult her anymore.

Here's a good place to start: http://www.amazon.com/Misanthropy-Sh...ag=vglnk-c9-20

Glad I made a fan! After you watch my movies, you will see why I didn't like Cabin in the Woods. My standards are very high.

Did you even look at my IMDb? Children of the Arcana: 7.1. Take Me Somewhere Nice: 6.4. Dead Inside: 9.2. And the other ones are low because of jealous people who have worked on my movies and thought I was obligated to give them something or that I had to fire because they didn't do their jobs good. I try to be honest and fair with all people I work with - I look at my crew as being like my family and I want to enjoy the people I work with and make sure they do a good job because that only helps to make me better director and make my films better. And sometimes people think that making movies is all glamor, not realizing it is hard work. So they slack off or get drunk and come to work still hungover or high and do nothing. I have no use for people like that on my crew so I fire them, then they get offended as if it's my fault and try to take down my reputation.

I have paid my penance for this, I don't need you to keep on harping about it.

One of the side effects of doing coke when I was younger is that I barely have a sense of smell. It's been gone for so long now I hardly even miss it.

In the spirit of this thread, I will talk about a movie I saw for the first time recently. Richard Kelly's The Box is the kind of sci-fi film I really appreciate. I enjoyed his Donnie Darko but didn't expect such an assured, mature voice and vision to develop so quickly. It raises interesting moral questions about what a person would do to benefit their life at the expense of someone else that they don't know. I would go into more detail about it but I don't want to ruin the twists and turns it takes. Better for you to watch it and experience it for yourself.

Holy shit that movie was terrible. I watched it on HBO and I still wanted my money back.

[stinkbutt]

and neglect them

[schoolofruckus]

Ain't that some shit. I guess this isn't Randy, after all.

I have paid my penance for this, I don't need you to keep on harping about it.

The penance for your contributions to this thread, on the other hand, is in its infancy.

Uhhh, I probably like Southland Tales more than 95% of the population, but there's no way you typed this with a straight face.

That movie was a mess, but it was an entertaining mess.

Hahahaha, this deserves credit.

[KungFuJoe]

Actually, I don't believe I have seen any of his films and I can't imagine them being any where near as good as he claims or any good at all. Maybe I've seen snippets of one of them, but I can't recall, nor do I think I'd care to. Much like I could care less about ever watching The Box.

[TallGuyCM]

I poured a few cocktails and watched the newest Mission: Impossible flick tonight. Thoroughly entertaining. Although his screen time was rather brief for the role he played, Michael Nyqvist was an excellent Bond-esque villain, and should be utilized this way in the future.

[GeezrRckr]

Movies about music/musicians:

24 Hour Party People
Last Days
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
I'm Not There
Control
Almost Famous

Finally watched this last night. Fucking brilliant. I barely got through it with all the scenes I had to rewind and watch over and over again. The drumming scene in the studio being my favorite.

And, Gabe, you forgot Dig!....arguably the best music documentary ever. Arguably.

EDIT: This one! So damn funny.

[schoolofruckus]

It's not so much a matter of forgetting DiG! as it is me not having seen it. Been on the list for years but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[bobert]

24 Hour Party People and Dig! are both fantastic films, the former especially. Steve Coogan is fucking brilliant in that movie.

[GeezrRckr]

It's not so much a matter of forgetting DiG! as it is me not having seen it. Been on the list for years but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Wow! Kinda like me sitting on 24hr people so long. Yeah, get on that one soon. It's really well done.

[cutterbutter]

Guys. The Raid. BLEW. MY. MIND.

HOLY SHIT

Go see it.

[TallGuyCM]

Whenever I've attempted an at-home double feature in the past, I've found it best to involve two movies that are on different ends of the spectrum. Tonight, I watched Ron Fricke's Baraka followed by Horrible Bosses. One was quite possibly the most triumphant visual experience that I've ever had in cinema. The other was, well, Horrible Bosses.
