I went over to Cinema-Suicide and saw the new poster of Funny Games. I had completely forgot about this entire thing. After further investigation I have discovered the Funny Games trailer on youtube. It’s looking to be a shot for shot remake, meaning (i hope…) NAKED CITY. When I first saw Funny Games I was so overwhelmed by the fact that one of my favourite bands, Naked City (John Zorn, who also created the Big Gundown a reworked cover album of Ennio Morricone’s work) pumped through my speakers as the titles were shown on screen. Funny Games is a brilliant film. I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to watch it again. Thats right, I saw it twice in a row. I didn’t wake up in time for school the next day because of it. But my life was changed.
“You shouldn’t forget the importance of entertainment.”
Fuckin’ yeah.
