I've been wanting to watch this movie for a really long time. Never got around to it though. I want it to be on netflix instant cause I don't know where else I'll find it.

I found it at Barnes & Nobel yesterday for 10 bucks.

Dope, maybe i'll hit them up. I've always got the impression that this film is Guillermo del Toro-esque. Is it?

Kind of. It's a dark, slightly twisted fantasy/ fairy tale that still manages to be light-hearted and kind of heart warming when people are being stabbed in the eyes or forced to watch themselves get strangled to death.

I think City of Lost Children is mostly interesting for being somewhat unique rather than an awesome film in every way. I feel like much like Dark City, Labyrinth, Willow or even Hellboy, it is flawed, but fun and memorable nonetheless and so worth checking out.

been ages since i've seen City of Lost Children

i honestly don't remember much about it, except that i enjoyed it immensely at the time

Watched the end half of Pulp Fiction last night. I can't believe I haven't even tried to watch it until now. Sooo good.

eXistenZ (1999)

Caught this on TV the other night, one of the more popular Cronenberg movies that I had yet to see. I remember renting it back when I worked at Hollywood Video but turning it off because I was a little confused and really tired. The whole biopod thing was mostly the source of the confusion, the idea of humanity trading synthetic technology for more biological "living" thign was just a little too strange for me when I was 18. I did think the tooth gun was kind of cool, so you can't fault me too much.

Well 6-years later and with a more worldly I can definitely say I can see why people like to talk about this one. It seems the late '90's/ early '00's were full of movies questioning reality and how technology has altered our perception of what is and isn't real. The ambiguity in this one was far more forefront, so if you found Inception (2010) to be confusing, eXistenZ (1999) may turn you off.

^finally a good review of eXistenZ :)

watched this on a whim last night after work....the narration is great and the "never before seen" clips were amazing!....informative and more explosions than a michael bay film.....very interesting little doc

I can understand why people wouldn't like it. It's one of the more "out there" films that just kind of forces you to accept that there will be no backstory to fill in why Jude Law's cell phone looks like a dildo. I think that was my biggest problem when I first viewed it in 2006, I was expecting some kind of explanation as to why humans had shunned synthetic technology for something organic. I think some people may have also been turned off by the somewhat lackluster script, although I think that was more to do with poking fun at the script found in some video games, which kind of sells games short.
