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

[pboi]

and yet kids love the new star wars films. thats all that matters!

 

[Sadken]

That so is not all that matters, pboi.

 

[pboi]

to you maybe! its all about the kids man.

 

[Sadken]

Right, cos I love Star Wars much more than the bible, but if they brought out a new version of the bible with Jesus modelled on Jack Bauer, I'd probably have a good long hand wring about it. It would be sacrilege for millions of people and shitting on something they loved and had loved most of their lives. JUST like the Phantom Menace.

 

[Sadken]

to you maybe! its all about the kids man.

Kids don't rule the fucking world! Look at the mess they've made of running society after it gets dark!

 

[electrogirl]

The Phantom Menace is not Star Wars. There were only three Star Wars films made, "the others" are an incredibly cruel joke. Third one, second half is not too terrible but that's really the most I can say for it.

I don't know if I could get out of bed and look myself in the mirror each morning if I hadn't seen Robocop.

Edit - oh ffs, now I look like some nerdlinger fanboy! Great second post, electroschmirl.

every nerdlinger is as predictable as the next

 

[pboi]

daily mail like whoa

you jocks are always two steps ahead!!!

 

[Sadken]

daily mail like whoa

That's not even a real sentence. I can't have this conversation with you.

 

[electrogirl]

you jocks are always two steps ahead!!!

that's why we're boning the cheerleaders while you are discussing which spaceship you love the most.

 

[Sadken]

Dur! That would take about 2 seconds because it's obviously the Millenium Falcon. It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. It's fast enough for you, old man.

See? You'll never know what that means! Absolutely scintillating dialogue.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Not being funny, but you would actually like them a lot. Still not being funny, I'm not just saying that because of my intense bias.

I once loved star wars with all my heart and soul. I am now however a grown up and children's films don't interest me as much.

I can't see someone finding that much to like about Star Wars if they haven't had any 'history' with it.

 

[Sadken]

Nah, can't have that. I've gotten loads of people into it.

 

[electrogirl]

I just watched that Zidane film.

I found it strangely enjoyable and hypnotising.

I find that, in many cases, the categorisation of films into Children's and Non-Children's films is unhelpful. Obviously there's lots of rubbish aimed at children that doesn't stand up to adult scrutiny, but a good "kid's" film is still a good film. Many of the classic Disney films, for example, are supremely fine examples of film-making - writing, dialogue, editing, music, the works.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh but also, half the time they haven't even WATCHED it. I mouth off about shit I have watched, but I have never seen a Star Wars film so I can't go round saying it's crap.

My housemate used to slag off Gilmore Girls as american crap, now he likes it.

I am forced, via work, to watch that and One Tree Hill and Smallville and Switched and Ghost Whispererer and SATC and Will & Grace and Friends and Dark Angel and, well, you get the picture, and I can definitely tell you that they're all trash

No seriously, give me your job.

But anyway, I mostly agree with you, Gilmore Girls is different though. I swear it.

 

[electrogirl]

I just watched Millions, the Danny Boyle film.

I really liked it, its a really sweet story but not too sacharine. There's lots of magical stuff and religious imagary but it manages not to bee too sentimental. I think. Well sentimental, but not in a naff way.

And I cried.

 

[Badgers]

Another episode of Fringe here.
Since my first post it has (as another poster said it would) grown on me a bit.

 

[Badgers]

Might do Star Wars tonight?

 

[Scrus]

Star wars is the best film out of the six imo. The scene where Obi wan Kenobi is in a bar and using the force to mind control is class.

Last night I watched Quarantine, very good, about a group of people who live in an apartment block where a virus starts affecting them one by one.

 

[Yetman]

Any film series containing the word 'Star' is for nerds.

 

[Grandma Death]

Eden Lake.

It had its moments but it was a bit OTT I have to say.

Also Shooter the night before. Held my attention but a fairly throw away trashy thriller.

 

[Orang Utan]

OTT = if it's a horror film

 

[N_igma]

Watched a bit of American Dad season 2 last night. A brilliant show, need to watch it a few times to 'get it'.

 

[Badgers]

American Dad

Still never seen a minute of this..

Like all the other ones (South Park, Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, King of the Hill) but this one has eluded me.

It's from the same creators as Family Guy, quite similar but none of the "like that one time I did x" stuff.

Grindhouse - first film and ads

Pretty good. I know I am going to be disappointed by the death proof one though.

So did you watch Planet Terror? I thought that was the second one

I've loved you so long - Brilliant French film. Kirstin Scott Thomas's performance is fantastic, playing a woman who's been imprisoned for 15 years and is reunited with her sister on her release. The circumstances behind her imprisonment and her estrangement from her family slowly and very subtly become clear as the film progresses. Its a very compassionate, humane film with some heartbreaking characters. V recommended.
