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

[Sadken]

She's played by Big Suze when she's older.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Tin Drum - brave but futile attempt to film Gunter Grass's epic, complex novel. The little lad in it is awesome and it captures some of the grotesque imagery of the book, but there's too much to fit in and it suffers for it.

 

[Part 2]

Shine, quite enjoyed it.

 

[rocketman]

Doctor Who boxed set.

 

[corporate whore]

Bloody Sunday - an uncomfortable, fantastic watch.

Even though I knew what was coming, it's shocking when the shooting starts. The scene in the hospital is horrible, in all the right ways.

Jimmy Nesbitt goes some way to redemption for all that shite he's done.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I thought you were talking about a sci-fi film at first!

2047?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

In my defence

I would say that would work better for the prosecution.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring -

Basic philiosophy made into a decent film - though Buddhism have alternating principles depending on the subject and is not universal.

Great film, check out more Kim Ki Duk, he's done some shit but he has also done great stuff like

Bad Guy
Samaritan Girl
The Isle
3 Iron

 

[Ranbay]

Pulling all of season one,

how did i miss this before? so funny

 

[Crispy]

"Downfall"

Seen it before, but thought it was better 2nd time around. Even though Hitler's very well played, he's still too outsized or rather outside the range of normal to fit into your head properly, IYSWIM. I found the actions and reactions of those around him much more fascinating.

 

[Orang Utan]

2047?

Is that an actual film?

 

[Orang Utan]

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia - ultra-misanthropic ultra-macho Peckinpah movie with Warren Oates being the hardass that he always is. Excellent.

 

[Biddlybee]

You're OU again

 

[The Octagon]

Serenity.

Been a while since I last saw it, but it's still quality.

Operative - I'm not threatening you. I'm unarmed.
Mal - Good. (shoots him in the chest)

 

[Lea]

Constantine with Keanu Reeves. Didnt like it. Didnt know what was happening half the time.

 

[Orang Utan]

You're OU again

Aye!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Is that an actual film?

No, but maybe it will be the sequel to 2046?

 

[Orang Utan]

Cannibal Ferox
As with most Italian exploitation films, the best thing about this film was the music. It was atrocious on the whole and we saw the cut version with all the ultraviolence cut out, so kind of pointless really.

 

[Part 2]

5 episodes of City of Men. More lighthearted than City of God, good teenagers stuff, son loved it.

 

[middle C]

From Hell

it wasn't good

 

[middle C]

Departed

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!

 

[Yetman]

Amelie - arrr

I love Jean-Pierre Jeunets films

 

[sojourner]

La Vie En Rose, for the 2nd time...still got that damn grit in my eye

 

[El Jefe]

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia - ultra-misanthropic ultra-macho Peckinpah movie with Warren Oates being the hardass that he always is. Excellent.

ah, but there's more to it than that. There's a doomed romance, a sense of loss and honour, all that stuff

 

[Orang Utan]

Of course, but I did enjoy Oates being a badass more

 

[El Jefe]

Of course, but I did enjoy Oates being a badass more

I think Peckinpah is fascinating (and I recommend the biog, If They Move.. Kill em - written by a BSG scriptwriter). He was really tormented but in no way the right wing gun nut he was painted as. He was left leaning, kinda pacifist.. Just deeply troubled, and that came out in his movies

 

[Orang Utan]

There's a great article about him in this month's S&S

 

[El Jefe]

ah cool

 

[purplex]

I saw Breaking Glass with the utterly superb Hazel O'Connor. Wicked film, absolutely stunning performance. Her first acting performance I believe. I truly loves Hazel O'Connor I do.

I saw Breaking Glass with the utterly superb Hazel O'Connor.

I was an extra in that movie scenes filmed at the Rainbow finsbury park
