What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

[Sadken]

I went to the Southend date. To paraphrase Sven, first half not so good, second half good.

 

[Ranbay]

if you have the Russell Howard DVD you can hear me shout out a question on the Extras

" how many marbles "

 

[Sadken]

Downloading it now. Give me some more comedians with dvds out - I'm off work sick and lonely, so lonely.

 

[Ranbay]

It's that time of year,

but Sean Lock, Jimmy Carr, michael Mcintyre, Lee Evans, Frankie Boyle, Dara O'Briain, Lee Mack, and so on.

 

[Ranbay]

oh and get some Doug Stanhope and George Carlin or STFU

 

[Sadken]

Yeah, got Stanhope and Carlin already. With Stanhope, I can't help but be reminded of a bloke I went to see last year who was pretending to be Bill Hicks risen from the dead. It's not that what Stanhope says isn't funny, but the Hicks homage is a bit OTT at times.

Sean Lock's one is good. Dunno if Carr would be my bag, really - just gag, gag, gag, gag isn't it?

I'm getting Dylan Moran, Russell Howard and McIntyre. Also just found Stewart Lee's last one.

has Sean Lock got an xmas dvd out?

 

[Sadken]

Yeah, it's very funny indeed. Last bit especially.

 

[Ranbay]

yeah, it's wicked, saw him on this tour... fucking ace as per..

will grab the Stewart lee one tonight

 

[foo]

oh good. my bro wanted to know what to buy me...

i love Sean Lock, think he's my favourite current comedian person.

The Dark Knight - what's all the fuss about? Ledger's great but that's about it. And Bale makes a great Bruce Wayne but a terrible Batman - what's with that silly Big Bad Wolf voice he puts on whenever he's in costume? I found it really distracting. Batman should have an icy, unsettling voice not sound like a poor man's Wolverine.

 

[BlackArab]

Saw Bamboozled today. Another classic from Spike Lee, uncomfortable viewing but thought-provoking and educational.

 

[andy2002]

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - warm, imaginative and loads of fun. My second favourite comic-book adaptation of the year, behind Iron Man.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. It was hard to get used to the style of acting at first but it paid off in the end. Very creepy silent horror film with maybe the first twist in cinema. The sets are incredible - all angles and long shadows - things that are two dimensional look three dimensional and vice versa. Still thinking about it the day (esp the twist and the unrealism - don't want to post spoilers though). Just ordered Dr Mabuse and Vampyr

 

[Pie 1]

1st 3 eps of Mad Men.

My oh my.
What an exquisitely filmed bunch of cunts.
Love it.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, I post on more than one forum

Control last night. Riley and Morton are superb, too much of the rest looked like a re-tread from 24HPP to be really ace tho.

I think I'll wrap meself under a blanket now and watch Michael Powell's ultra-rare Bluebeard's Castle, which is meant to be a stunner.

 

[sojourner]

oh

[foo]

astoundingly good, wonderfully staged and sung. Nice little twist at the end too

Bagpuss - the ballet shoe awwwe
two songs, illustrated mice sailing & falling down the stairs in a shoe to an song improvised by the mice & toad around row, row, row your boat, Professer Yaffle getting all sentimental & ending up all tangeled and upsidedown in a balet shoe

 

[corporate whore]

Letters from Iwo Jima - very, very good.

 

[ringo]

Life Is Sweet.

Great Mike Leigh film, must have been the inspiration for The Royle Family.

 

[Orang Utan]

M - extraordinary Fritz Lang thriller starring Peter Lorre as a child murderer who is caught and tried by the criminal fraternity - the final sequence is like a typical Urban debate on capital punishment only much more succinct - no one has really added much to that debate or the police procedural serial killer pic since.
