Garden State. For realz.<BR/><BR/>But also: The Fall is totally excellent. I can't wait to own it and show everyone.<BR/><BR/>The Pan's Labyrinth/Del Toro comparison is a good one.<BR/><BR/>I think it's harder to see Jodorowsky in it. The images are used in more of an idyllic fantasy (even when they are getting killed...), than the sort of repulsive excesses he goes for.<BR/><BR/>That being said, the toad/lizard battle might have fit in with The Fall.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17049873411663795304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-45096300876906813562008-09-17T16:37:00.000-05:002008-09-17T16:37:00.000-05:00NO. Juno is great.<BR/>I love it a gazillion times more now that I've sat through Knocked Up.<BR/><BR/>But yes, I did want to mention Jodorowsky as a point of comparison. Very simular use of vibrant, even garish, colors and enormous scale. The big difference is that the tone is lighthearted in a Juenet/del Toro way.Walrushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-32880256598897048592008-09-17T09:15:00.000-05:002008-09-17T09:15:00.000-05:00All this talk of Del Toro and Jeunet and you don&#39;t mentioned Jodorowsky once? Looking at all of the screenshots, the first thing that came to my mind was The Holy Mountain 2.<BR/><BR/>And glad to see that there may actually be something to this movie. It got such middling critical reactions that I felt compelled to believe it because it had been so long since The Cell and... it wouldn&#39;t have surprised me if he hadn&#39;t turned out a better film. But hooray! It&#39;s been added to the queue. :3<BR/><BR/>And about cursing critics with quirky indie flicks about bridging whatever... can we agree that it will be Juno 2? &gt;:3Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10716883645607032782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-54620883289087288772008-09-15T21:25:00.000-05:002008-09-15T21:25:00.000-05:00The others that come to mind are:<BR/>Possession<BR/>A Zed and Two Noughts<BR/>Olivier, Olivier<BR/><BR/>Some that could probably be considered 10s for me:<BR/>Marketa Lazarova<BR/>El Topo<BR/>The Element of Crime<BR/>The Saragossa Manuscript<BR/>Memories of Murder<BR/>The Ear<BR/>Pan's Labyrinth<BR/><BR/>Although anything in the "Top Rated" is a must-see in my book.Walrushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-33595293524110314932008-09-15T20:57:00.000-05:002008-09-15T20:57:00.000-05:00Is this your first 10 to be published here?
