Moriarty’s One Thing I Love Today! ADAM’S APPLES And Film Movement!

I love Adam's Apples!! by DerLanghaarige	Mar 18th, 2008 06:46:28 AM
Greatest movie I saw last year and I'm glad that it found it's way to the USA!
Been trying to get this on DVD in the UK for aaaaages... by SoWasRed2012	Mar 18th, 2008 07:10:55 AM
Danish cinema is the shit - everyone needs to check out The Green Butchers, another one with Mads Mikkelsen, it's hilarious and very twisted yet somehow manages to be incredibly sweet. Also, my Danish buddies have tried to convince me that Terkel In Trouble is comedy gold. That shit is fucked up is what is.
Film Movement sounds like a cool little idea by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Mar 18th, 2008 07:11:19 AM
If only we had it here.
All hail Boondock Saints!! by SpencerTrilby	Mar 18th, 2008 07:13:58 AM
I'm not sure if it's the right way to promote In China they eat dogs than spitting on a fan-favorite movie. You got me interested in it though. I guess that's what's important.
"And -- sigh – he’s younger than I am." by ballyhoo	Mar 18th, 2008 07:25:42 AM
I never want to be one of those people that comments about age. It's so freaking annoying. Doesn't matter if you are actually jealous of youth or just pretending to be, it's stupid.

Its available from cdwow: http://www13.cd-wow.com/detail _results_2.php?product_code=36 3225&subcat=region2 Also people who dig Adams Apples or the Green Butchers should check out ATJ first full length film as a director Flickering Lights.

Anthony Minghella has died by kwisatzhaderach	Mar 18th, 2008 07:58:08 AM

Call me crazy but Howard the Duck movie was the shit! by donwillymo	Mar 18th, 2008 07:58:34 AM

Anthony Minghella has died... by gobofraggleuk	Mar 18th, 2008 08:30:14 AM

RIP Anthony Minghella by photoboy	Mar 18th, 2008 08:33:07 AM
Damn 54 was way too young.
Thanks Fuzhi by SoWasRed2012	Mar 18th, 2008 09:11:26 AM
I'll try them, but I've ordered Danish CD's from those guys before and they just never ship so I'm skeptical - don't suppose you've had problems with them?
I fucked a chick who had one of those by donwillymo	Mar 18th, 2008 09:13:40 AM

Thank you Moriarty! by Cat_Corporation	Mar 18th, 2008 09:19:51 AM
For recognising the greatness that is Mads Mikkelsen OUTSIDE of Casino Royale or - for shame! - King Arthur. The guy is a wonderful actor, super-charismatic, and this is another of his classic Danish performances. I had to pick this up on DVD when I was in Copenhagen last year, along with a couple of others that aren't available in the UK! He makes this little lady very happy...yum.
Anders Thomas Jensen touches good stuff. by bret3d	Mar 18th, 2008 10:22:59 AM
I saw "Adam's Apple" two years ago at CIFF and "Green Butchers" the year before that at TIFF and quickly imported the DVDs to show friends. The bird shooting scene is one of my favorites. Also he is involved in the project that created "Red Road". He is credited with the character creation. I hope they continue that project. Jensen has a dark sense of humor I've not seen anywhere else.
Dont' forget.... by Big_Pants	Mar 18th, 2008 11:43:45 AM
Flickering Lights. It's actually my favourite Anders Thomas Jensen film and also stars Mads Mikkelsen and Ulrich Thomsen.
Actually, Criterion should start a monthly subscription. by Knuckleduster	Mar 18th, 2008 11:52:43 AM
I'd sign up in a heartbeat.
Mori by Mezzanine	Mar 18th, 2008 01:28:20 PM
I thought these were going to be short articles. Not that I am complaining, but you know what some people say about Stephen King and his... verbosity? I think you fall into the same boat.
SpenserTrilby by Mezzanine	Mar 18th, 2008 01:30:17 PM
Do people here actually like Boondock Saints? Jesus, that movie is ass.
JOB.... by Dogma_Jedi	Mar 18th, 2008 02:27:54 PM
Actually....Job was not randomly screwed. God was bragging on him (at how righteous of a man Job was). Satan said that it was because Job was blessed that he loved God. (That Job only loved God for what God gave him.) When put to the test... it turns out that Job still remained a righteous man.. he didn't curse God. His friends & family kept giving him bad counsel, and he never listened. In the end God rewarded him with MORE that what the Devil took away.
Dogma.... by TheRealMoriarty	Mar 18th, 2008 02:33:50 PM
... yeah, that makes it all okay. "Hey, remember when I killed your wife and your children and burned your land and your cattle? And twisted you will illness? Well... I was just fucking around." HORROR. STORY.
Dogma is right by Internet Thug	Mar 18th, 2008 02:38:30 PM
Leave it to McWeeny to let the point of a story a child could understand sail right over his five-head.
And Leave It... by TheRealMoriarty	Mar 18th, 2008 03:05:25 PM
... to my fan club to have the inability to understand that there may be more than one way to process that story besides the one you're told in church.
film movement by dunners	Mar 18th, 2008 03:22:05 PM
the best way I can describe the company is kind of a criterion for films most in the USA would not have heard of otherwise. certain hollywood video and movie gallery stores carry these titles when they are released for public sale (usually a couple months after "club" members get them-but that varies i think) if you like this one, try The Bothersome Man (awesome) and Aaltra. (hilarious)
what the fuck where's the fake moriarty I like him better by donwillymo	Mar 18th, 2008 03:46:41 PM

There are a million Ways by Internet Thug	Mar 18th, 2008 03:48:41 PM
to "process" a story..unfortunately for you only one is right.
Boy, you said it Chewie.... uh, Mori I mean... by The_Deathticle	Mar 18th, 2008 04:03:07 PM
Mori, THANK YOU! I have been saying the exact same thing about the Book of Job for years! I've never gotten how anyone can look at that story as some kind of uplifting parable about the virtue of loving God unconditionally. You said it brother. HORROR. STORY. Why would anyone want or even be ABLE to love a god who would do that to you. Job is even more mentally disturbed than the most pathetic battered wife. Horrible story.
A riff on the book of Job??? by thebearovingian	Mar 18th, 2008 04:05:41 PM
Blasphemy! Sacrilege!
I've only seen Wilbur from that list... by Tourist	Mar 18th, 2008 04:29:29 PM
...Which...I don't know...it was a bad movie? The tone was reaaaallly odd...It never really settled into being a comedy or a drama...I've loved Mads Mikkelsen in the Pusher movies and in After The Wedding, and while I didn't like Wilbur overall, I liked parts of it. This film sounds really good, luckily I'll just be able to rent it from my video store or watch in on SBS, cause that record club sorta deal sounds fucking lame.
Mori: "And -- sigh – he’s younger than I am." by ThePilgrim	Mar 18th, 2008 04:56:39 PM
Well, It's all about You then. Isn't it.
Mori's ego travels in a stretch limo while he takes the bus by Murk the Turk	Mar 18th, 2008 05:21:26 PM
The guy's getting worse and worse. Check out his Narnia "set vsit" - otherwise known as "Mori's Ego's Big Day Out." He actually waffles on about his family and personal life for three pages before he gets to any movie-related info.
I agree, Mori by Matthew Martinez	Mar 18th, 2008 05:38:55 PM
The whole idea that just because God does something means it's righteous seems kind of like bullshit to me. As The_Deathticle implied, imagine it as the story of a man who beats and openly cheats on his wife to prove how faithful she is. Even if he gave her, like, a billion dollars for her trouble, it still isn't a very heartwarming story. Just remember that every blow he lands is just another way of saying, "I love you."
JOB....2.0 by Dogma_Jedi	Mar 18th, 2008 06:18:20 PM
"Hey, remember when I killed your wife and your children and burned your land and your cattle? And twisted you will illness? " .....Hey man I completely understand where your comming from.... and I wasn't trying to "start" up anything... I was trying to point out that God didn't do those things to Job. Satan did. God is being blamed for what someone else did.... I appologize if my posting came across as hostel. That wasn't the intent. :)
okay, i stand corrected by Matthew Martinez	Mar 18th, 2008 06:31:33 PM
Per Dogma_Jedi, change my variation of the story to a man permitting someone to beat and rape his wife while he stands idly by, perfectly able to intervene but not doing so, to prove that she'd never turn against him. I'll admit to misunderstanding who it was who inflicted the hardships upon Job, but my absolute bafflement over devout believer's reception of the story continues. Allowing the normal events of nature to occur, whatever. The makers of nature shows do it all the time, and that certainly doesn't make them bad people. Allowing another supernaturally powerful force to fuck around with someone's life to win a bet, that's a pretty dick move.
I am a member... by bee152	Mar 18th, 2008 07:17:56 PM
of Film Movement. My wife gave me a one year's membership for Christmas. It is fantastic. 1 movie a month is sent to me to keep. Movies I never heard of but are fantastic, for those of you who like arthouse movies. The first movie i watched was "Arranged" about a Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who become friends in NYC and are both being arranged to marry. Really good. I still have to watch "The Violin". The reviews have been through the roof.
Film Movement not available outside of the U.S.? by Max Castle	Mar 18th, 2008 08:23:34 PM
Maybe I didn't dig deep enough into the site, but it looks to me that the service is only available if you have a US mailing address. Sigh. And not a "Moriarty is younger than me" sigh, although he is.
"HORROR. STORY." by Mezzanine	Mar 18th, 2008 09:03:38 PM
Quote of the fuckin' year.
Hey Mori! by bee152	Mar 18th, 2008 10:55:24 PM
Thanks for the recommendation. I just bought "Adam's Apple" on film movement. $12.95 if you're a member. That's fantastic. I look forward to watching it.
Mori... by GoFukyerSelf	Mar 19th, 2008 01:57:44 AM
I've just re-read (the first time in 2 years) the Abrams Superman script.. and god damn it, why did you have to be so vocal... that flick would have rocked! Now, I LOVE Singer's Superman Returns, but whether or not you liked that film we can agree that it's not the Superman we were hoping for/expecting. So back to Abrams draft.. is it the Superman that we all now.. yes and no.. it's definately not the backstory we recognize, but it has all the heart and emotion.. what it also has in rejuvenation.. Abrams Superman would have brought a whole new fanbase to Superman. It would have allowed Superman to live in the hearts of kids for another 60 years. So what if it wasn't the traditional story... need we forget that originally Superman had no flying abilities.. he had no Lex Luthor.. hell, Superman didn't "learn" of Krypton until the 1940's!! Sometimes it's good for fan's to a say in the pre-production of films, but should one scathing review have the power to sideline a film.. HELL NO! Re-reading your initial story it's obvious that you were off track.. "SPIDER-MAN and the BLADE films work incredibly well, in my opinion, and DAREDEVIL looks to me like another home run..." .. and I believe that you were wrong about this version of Superman as well. So Mori, I love your contributions here on AICN.. but tonight I'm feeling a bit testy (and a bit cheated.. cheated out of what could have been one hell of a Superman flick, not to mention an honest to god jump start to the Superman mythology) so I have one thing to say to you.. FUCK YOU MAN!
Ok that was by Internet Thug	Mar 19th, 2008 06:03:06 AM
random. ^^^^^^
Who the fuck wants a Superman that doesn't fly? by Knuckleduster	Mar 19th, 2008 09:38:27 AM
And what the fuck does any of this have to do with Adam's Apples?
Random by Dogma_Jedi	Mar 19th, 2008 10:13:51 AM
yeah.. that WAS random.... Adam's Apples looks great....
Random Message.. by GoFukyerSelf	Mar 19th, 2008 01:01:28 PM
Yes, my message was random.. however, at the time it was the most recent of Mori's articles... so I thought he might see it. Plus, Superman does fly in Abram's script.. I'm just pointing out that Superman has "evolved" since his first incarnation.
Job is evidence the old Testament God was an asshole by hst666	Mar 19th, 2008 03:06:48 PM
Seriously, I am an atheist, but if the Old Testament were actually true and not just a collection of fantasy stories, I would tell God to go fuck himself. I'd rather be damned than serve an asshole like that.
we get what we want... by Dogma_Jedi	Mar 21st, 2008 12:08:46 AM
