He's describing himself eating a shoe!

Rediscuss this director for the month!

Can we do a consensus revisit, too?

Can we do a consensus revisit, too?

That is what we're doing, right? Re-consensusing him?

So I guess I'm gonna be that guy that doesn't like Stroszek?

[Adam]

The lack of enthusiasm for Even Dwarfs Started Small is moderately stunning to me

I'm tempted to bump up my score just to offset that "3" it got

[Spun Lepton]

Oy, I'm sure I'm gonna love the reaction I get ...

Aguirre, The Wrath of God -- 5/10
Fitzcarraldo -- 8/10

Need to see more.

[Russ]

Yeah, what's wrong with you?

:)

[B-side]

I don't know. Some wiring must be frayed upstairs or something. I found it to be standard fare with the exception of the ending.

Netflix Instant has a bunch of Herzog's films available. I do plan to continue watching his stuff. I wish his version of Nosferatu were available, that sounds like something that I'd probably love. (It's in my queue.)

Last time I had Netflix, that wasn't even available on DVD. I had to torrent it. It's worth it for Kinski, definitely.

That would be lying. And lying is wrong.

Yeah, in line with this, I'm bumping my Fata Morgana score up to 15 to make up for the epic fail happening in this thread.

[Melville]

Indeed. Even if the entirety of the rest of the movie were sheer garbage, this would justify the 15: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOSCftwbpvA

[B-side]

I guess I need to see Fata Morgana. I love Leonard Cohen, so I suppose that might help.

Aguirre: The Wrath of God seems to be a good place to start with Herzog?

I'm starting up his filmography this weekend.
