Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

[B_Buster]

I enjoyed it but wished Herzog would have "turned the hog loose" a little more often (e.g. the iguanas scene and the dancing soul scene). The Eva Mendes and reformed alcoholic dad scenes were a little too dull and conventional for me.

Yea. I felt like all the best moments were in the trailer.  Except for the scene in the shed about the spoon!

I dunno...
This movie did not even try to get into the nitty gritty like the original Bad Lieutenant did. An iconic scene, like the church-scene in the original did not evolve, the motive of the lieutenant being torn apart was not well executed and too easily resolved and the end was just not satisfying.

Do you think Xzibit and Herzog spent a lot of down time together, you know like going for fries and milkshakes, that kind of stuff?

what a terrible movie

[Omar]

This film is the equivalent of a Kevin Allin feces fling.  An absolute disgrace.

The weirder scenes were definitlely the stand out scenes.  I also liked Cage's drug store Freak out scene.  I hope Cage does more movies like this and less movies like Knowing.

Yeah, trying to make Cage into an hero I think was the start of the problem.  He's more fun in weirder roles.

I like your certainty.

All right, this is only tangentially related to "Bad Lieutenant," but it seemed like a good place to post the trailer for this new Nic Cage humdinger...

Presumably this is not the Nic Cage Disney flick that was shot at WFMU?

Don't know if anybody already posted this but I listened to a funny Werner Herzog interview today on the NPR archive.  I don't care what he talks about, healways makes me laugh and sounds a little crazy.  There is even a little Strozek talk during it.

My friend and I regularly quote his immortal line from Encounters At The End Of The World to each other: "I hate the sun - both on my celluloid, and on my skin." Best Herzog quote ever.

I liked it.  Should I go through the boards and post that in all nineteen Bad Lieutenant threads?

[Andy from Atlanta]

I really enjoyed the film also but I am certainly willing to cut Herzog (and Cage for that matter) extra slack. If it was made by anyone else, I probably would have left it as mediocre...

That said, I thought Xzibit actually did an excellent job! That alone is pretty crazy, right?

And did anyone notice the random little person walk by Mr. Cage in that one scene? Am I being offensive by thinking that was perhaps a nod to "Even Dwarfs Started Small"?
