top five meme part one (or, the not-so-visual one)

May 28, 2011 10:44

So I looked at the top fives and decided that three out of eight required visual evidence and two youtube evidence, so I'm doing two posts. This round is one of the youtube ones and the visual evidence-less ones, the next will be the other youtube spam one and the ones with picspams ( Read more... )

tv shows, meme, damon/alaric is my happy place, the vampire thing gets its tag, movie recs, movies

There are some of those Italian movies I haven't watched yet. I also made a list of great Italian movies to a Danish friend a few days ago, so this is relevant to my interests. :D I adore Nanni Moretti, btw, his world's view is also mine.

I Soliti Sospetti, and Gassman in general, THE LOVE. I also recced to my friend Una Giornata Particolare as a pure masterpiece, it's incredible how beautiful that movie is to me.

Also, WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE QUOTES. I didn't know Deadwood was slashy too, LOL.

PS: just watched some of the trailers you linked. OMG THAT ENGLISH DUBBING IS AWFUL...I think we are probably lucky as far as dubbing goes here in Italy, because JESUS. :/ How can someone like a movie, even if perfect, with THAT DUBBING? Checking out Il grande silenzio then, I can't believe I've missed this movie, looks like the kind of thing I usually adore!

Moretti! <33 I love his movies. (Did you see the latest one? I was tempted to put that one instead but I went with my first love.)

GASSMANN. Indeed. Though Mastroianni would be my favorite out of that bunch. And nn Una giornata particolare is AWESOME. It didn't make the list here but I love it too.

DEADWOOD HAS A CANON FEMSLASH COUPLE. WATCH IT. IT'S PERFECTION. BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. ;)

Ugh. I know? I think dubbing should be abolished for a general rule, really, but yeah 70s English dubs were a lot worse than 70s Italian dubs (though now I think we suck equally lololol). And CHECK IL GRANDE SILENZIO. OH MY GOD IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO UNDERRATED AND IT TOTALLY HITS ALL MY BUTTONS. I'm pretty sure you'd like it too, lol. ;)

I haven't watched the last one, yet. You mean Habemus Papam, right? I also loved La stanza del figlio tbh...I don't know, something about his direction/world-view makes me appreciate everything he does. It's like he speaks to my brain directly ( ... )

janie_tangerine May 29 2011, 21:20:01 UTC
Yep, I mean that one. It's really good - I'd totally go and recommend it. And nn La stanza del figlio was great. (And Il caimano too - but if I think about that one I feel depressed. Sigh.) But yeah, word on that.

I DON'T KNOW. WE'RE DOING BETTER NOW BUT WE DID SUCK FOR A WHILE. And Sorrentino IS good.

I'm not a Benigni supporter when it comes to movies...I like him in other fields, but movie direction is definitely not his thing IMO.)... are you me? Because the only Benigni movies I really like are the ones where he isn't directing. XDD And I love everything else he does but I'm not his movie's biggest fan ( ... )

Same as you on Benigni! Actually I think I wouldn't even know how to place him in regard to how I see him...I think I like him as a personality, but I don't really think of him as an actor or director. He's so more of a stage animal IMO ( ... )

janie_tangerine May 29 2011, 22:37:34 UTC
Yeah, he's better at stage things - but he did some pretty good stuff when he wasn't the one directing. (Like, try Jarmusch's Daunbailò. It stars Tom Waits as well. It's awesome. XD) but yeah I love him and I think he's awesome - I'm not that fond of his movies though.

AHA TOLD YOU IT WAS GOOD. AND I KNOW??? :((( I went into it knowing how it ended and I still was like '.... punch to the gut ohmygod NOOOOOOOO ;__________; *WEEPS*'. And I know? I mean, I'll always <333 Leone movies like woah but you can't argue that this one is way historically fairer. And oh dear now I'd just like Clint Eastwood to shoot KK in some random crossover sequel ;) ;) ;)

Also I KNOW? I LIKE THAT THEY ACTUALLY ACT. FOR GOOD. I have a thing for eyes-driven acting but in this one it was just like 'OH MY AWESOME'. I don't even have words for how good JLT is. <333 And yeah word about the western cliché reverse. That's why I love it so hard. Among other reasons. And I think I have a girlcrush on the lady. She's awesome. And SHE'S A REAL CHARACTER! Bless that. I ( ... )

Never saw that one! I'm actually pretty ignorant about movies with Italian actors. I should definitely upgrade.

AHAH, I thought of CE shooting KK in some crossover movie too, LOL. I mean, KK is SO EVIL in this one, you can't believe it. The weird voice (could it be him speaking? I hear he talks Italian) is a plus.

JLT is like, one of the most beautiful and expressive men in the universe. Like most French actors of those years to be fair...there are a LOT of French actors I dig, to be honest. Remaining in the topic of hotness, i just read on IMDB that Tarantino is still not over with revisiting Italian cinema, so this time it's Django's time. And apparently Franco Nero (one of the best looking Italian actors ever IMO) is going to star in his upcoming movie too.

I googled Franco Nero just for kicks, and yes, still beautiful as I remember him. :)

OH BUT HAI FRANCO NERO UNFFFFFF. YOUR FACE. And oh, Django. That movie is awesome in its over-the-top-about-everything-ness, but it's not like his face doesn't add a very welcome plus. Mmmmhhhhhhhhhhh, ALSO FRANCO NERO STARRING IN A TARANTINO MOVIE OMG AWESOME. Actually Tarantino approaching Django would be awesome since it's not like he hasn't been referencing that since Reservoir Dogs anyway.. XD ( ... )

Oh ARGH. Ho paura di averti linkato Terrence Hill invece di Franco Nero...solo che poi ho controllato meglio su google e pare sia impossibile capire chi sia quello in foto, Franco Nero o Terrence Hill...viene fuori per tutti e 2, LOL. Oh my, I can't tell!!

Veramente su un sito di TH c'è...forse è TH? MA POSSIBILE CHE NON LI DISTINGUO CON IL CAPPELLO!?

FUCK, OK. It was TH indeed, in the Django sequel...they are twins!

janie_tangerine June 3 2011, 23:22:36 UTC
... LOL THEY DO LOOK ALIKE. Tho on closer look yeah, that one is Terence Hill. He has a uh, thinner face? Maybe? FN has it more squared. Or something. Idk I re-watched Django like last week, it's there in my head but idk how to put it.

I feel i need to inform you of the fact that the scene of the bounty hunter eating chicken just came up, while I'm having late lunch, and I almost threw up on my keyboard, LOL. Aw, Italian westerns without disgusting eating habits are not the same. :P
