Happy Birthday PD, you were always my favorite weird gay black man.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Speaking of birthdays, my moms birthdays is the 23rd. She's really mad at me for ruining this past weekend with not wanting to goto dinner at 9pm(I was watching house for the first time ever).

Anyway, she told me awhile back that she wanted some fruity meal from Red Lobster on her birthday. I was thinking this would be a great "I'm sorry for being an ass/happy birthday gift but I was wondering if I should get her something else too.

Please keep in mind I only have $14.52...that I can only use on paypal.

first happy birthday to pd

in other news, PR, maybe something from shanalogic?  it skews hipster indie cool, but there's lots of cute things here.  maybe you can find something for your mom.  they take paypal

Well there's a Deja Vu within walking distance of campus, and my buddy has been hinting at it. But since we'll be going out with two chicks (including said buddy's girlfriend) I doubt that'll fly

Plus I heard most of the chicks are fugly

Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Phoenix Dark!!!!
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 19, 2008, 10:43:26 AM
You think OUATITW>TGTBTU? One of my friends got it for me mainly because we argue over that all the time. He says OUATITW is a better film, and the best western, while I'm more on the fence. Both are classic, and I'd agree OUATITW's score/music is better...but I give TGTBATU a slight edge because it's paced better imo. I'll watch both films back-to-back this weekend hopefully and make my final decision
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Phoenix Dark!!!!
Post by: Ichirou on February 19, 2008, 10:48:08 AM
OUATITW is the better movie in terms of scene composition, cinematography, score.  TGTBATU is a great pulp western, but they're just completely different types of movies.  One is very much a comic booky-type pure Spaghetti movie with a lot of great action setpieces, the other is sort of an ode to the end of the mythical West, filled with intertextual references to classic Westerns.

It's kind of weird to compare them since they're really different kinds of movies tho they're both Westerns.

Beware The Big Sleep.  It's got a rather convoluted plot, but the writing is where it excels!

Great documentary on this

I'd agree about scene composition. There are some truly amazing shots throughout; granted, both films are beautiful in that sense but OUATITW seems almost operatic to me

Post by: Ichirou on February 19, 2008, 10:57:24 AM
That's from the DVD.  That's Sir Christopher Frayling, Leone's biographer and also a writer of a number of books on the Spaghetti Western phenomenon.  He's the leading expert on the genre, and the rector of the Royal College of Art in London.

His Leone bio, "Something To Do With Death," is really excellent.  It's OOP but I recommend it highly.  Grab a used copy off Amazon if you can.

The Big Sleep is one of those mysteries where the mystery is really second-place to the mood and the general feeling of suspense the writing evokes.

I prefer Dashiell Hammett, though.  I know Chandler's a more accomplished writer and his language is more beautiful, but I like the rough and crude style of Hammett.  Probably why I prefer Maltese Falcon to The Big Sleep.  Sam Spade's a much darker, amoral character than Marlowe.
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Phoenix Dark!!!!
Post by: Eric P on February 19, 2008, 11:09:11 AM
have you read Hammet's Continental Op Stories?  Check those out.  They're really good.  My Favorite is probably Red Harvest because of the labor elements of the plot.
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Phoenix Dark!!!!
Post by: Ichirou on February 19, 2008, 11:10:32 AM
Yeah, I have the book that collects most of the Continental Op short stories as well as Red Harvest, which I initially read just to see where Kurosawa had ripped the plot off for Yojimbo.

Published twice yearly by lawyers out of Philly and Baltimore, it's amazing.  It's neo-noir, dark and street level.  I have an extra copy of the first issue.  If you like I can dig it up and mail it to you.

it's a great shot though and really representative of baltimore.

but that's the level they're going for.  the lead story in the first issue deals with revolutionary activity in an unnamed south american country while there's also a story called Scarecrow which is basically a horror story.  It casts a wide net of awesome
