Being John Malkovich

damn dude, it took you think long to finally watch this movie?
what's next? return to the planet of the apes?

 

Think fast, Malkovich!

 

Spike is currently working on "Where the Wild Things Are" with a script by Dave Eggers. Test screening feedback was that it was too dark for kids and they there are some reshoots happening. It's been delayed a couple of years now but might be out next year.

 

You know Kenny hit 7 threes, right?

here is the preview for oldboy. check it out. i think most people would like it (at least people with good taste)

: )

 

Infrequent lurker here, and big fan of the four movies you mention, especially Eternal Sunshine. (I was disappointed by the Gondry/Kaufman pairing on Human Nature.)

"Mind-warp" reminds me of this film.

Terry Gilliam is in the same vein as Kaufman: not quite as verbally brilliant/funny, but visually capable of more. His Fear & Loathing with Depp & del Toro is hallucinatory too, though drug-induced; it's underrated, especially if you like Hunter Thompson. 12 Monkeys is decent.

David Lynch is awesome. Mulholland Dr. with Naomi Watts is great, and relatively accessible compared to some of his other indulgences.

Waking Life is trippy, if you enjoy slacker-philosophy in your Saturday morning cartoons.

Though absent most all traces of humor, Ridley Scott's director's cut of Blade Runner might fall under the same mind- (or in this case, consciousness-) f--- sensibility.

Rashomon could be the ultimate film mind-f---.

Cool: looks like Kaufman's directorial debut is due out in a few months.

Anybody recommend anything else? I will pretty obviously already be hitting up Blockbuster.

 

big fish is interesting and in that realm

 

I saw this amost ten years ago at a free screening at U of H. A crowded auditorium with a bunch of other college kids is a pretty fun place to see a movie. The only things I can think of are A Scanner Darkly, Stranger Than Fiction and Me, You and Everyone You Know, although the last one isn't as "trippy" and might be a bit controversial for your taste.

 

"It's alcohol that burns, but doesn't burn up. Lighter fluid just burns. And then I thought, 'It's okay. It's better this way.'"

[Nods head.]

I haven't seen Big Fish or Stranger than Fiction, and haven't come across Scanner Darkly yet (though I like the Before Sun___s, Dazed & Confused, Waking Life, Slacker). Thanks; will check these out.

 

"Go" was good
Mullholland Dr. was fantastic, lesbian scene was topping on the cake
A Beautiful Mind - not really a mind warp film for viewers, but main character is
Requiem For a Dream
Jacob's Ladder - very disturbing
Fight Club - cult classic
Betrayal

 

Old boy is a good movie.. Definite mind trip

 

I'll second the recommendation of GO. I remember when that came out, the previews made it seems like something else entirely. Turned out to be pretty good.

I wouldn't call BIG FISH a mind-**** movie...although it is fantastic and Tim Burton's best (in my opinion). Definitely see that one if you haven't already, finals.

STRANGER THAN FICTION is a good, light-hearted mind-**** movie. At least as far as mind-**** movies go. Give it a look.

 

David Lynch's Mulholland Dr is a good one.

I like Lost Highway a bit better though.

 

Pi by Darren Aronofsky

 

The Fountain.

I don't know if you've heard of it.

Run Lola Run

Killing Zoe

"Waking Life" is great.
