Y'jeeeeeeeerking! We could've talked about the growling at the start of the film! The racial banter! There's so many funny aspects to that film...
 
just started on John Adams, which I downloaded last year then forgot about. Pretty good first episode and a half, even with the very very strange accents

Can you let me know what you reckon please? I'm really interested in Adams, but I thought the tv show looked a bit crappy.

It's not my obsession with the stupid crappy football that hindered this.

I'm especially intrigued by the growling so I will definitely watch.

The growling should've taken him over the line for an oscar. It's the way it's so unapologetic that does it for me. I've been growling at a lot of stuff since I saw that film, let me just put it that way.
 
Walk Hard- Yeah that was pretty good. Should have been a bigger film, much better than all those latest Will Ferrell films.
 
last few days -

finished Our Friends In The North, which was powerful in its own way but still very flawed - compared to the wire (sorry :( ) everything is really obvious and stagey and 2-D. Too much exposition etc

In Search of a Midnight Kiss - expected another underwhelming mumblecore movie, but actually was a moving , funny, inventive, wonderful film. Totally recommend it.

Somers Town - took a while to find its feet, but was lovely on the whole.

all of season 2 of My Name Is Earl. Just fucking ace, still. Packed full of genius little moments and amazing imagination among the gags.
 
Over the last 3 days I've watched:
Casablanca. - I must remember that.
Sink the Bismark. - old but still classic stuff
And I've just watched the new Knight Rider. Crap but I'm sat here with sod all else to do except play internet and watch movies.

Roll on the staff starting next week.

if you like Steve C. please watch the film "Dan in Real Life"...its such a good movie...hes excellent in it.

Hes funny and sincere and shows his real chops as an actor. It's really a great film.
 
Watched 'Wanted' streaming the other night...after about 6 fucking attempts! *note to self, don't try to stream films with a lappy and a dongle :mad: *

Not too bad...i've got a soft spot for James Macavoy coz he was in Shameless and it's norvern, and Angelina is always good to look at. Anyone read 'The Traveller' by John Twelve Hawks? She'd be ace as Maya in the film of that.
 
Finally got round to seeing In Bruges and thoroughly enjoyed it - there are a couple of genuinely brilliant moments and the two leads are perfect.
 
Devil Times Five - rubbish:(
Damnation Alley - pretty poor but the futuristic vehicles were cool.:hmm:
Skin Game - 1931 Hitchcock film, - great.:)
Demon Seed - cool:cool:
 
It's a great package, you get a comic and everything.

hubba hubba hubba.

I nearly bought the japanese DVD when it came out but it was something stupid like £90 (even when the pound was strong and it was in a second hand shop). In Japan they never even finished transmitting the whole series (stopped half way though) so it took a million years to get to DVD (never made VHS).

Basically it was only ever popular in the Uk where it wasn't even repeated once.

For some reason the japanese dvd contains an edit in english as a movie version. The english TV version is a different cut and the J movie type does not exist anywhere else.

Goodnight
 
about 7 eps of Flight of the Conchords.

Talk about diminishing returns, it starts mildly funny and then just runs on the same very thin "we're blank nerds" material from then on. THe songs likewise. Very disappointing. Only good thing in it is Mel

My partner will no doubt be interested to hear this (and to know there's a fellow Starfleet fan out there). The DVD is his - he watched the show every week as a kid and loved it, right up until the day his parents made him go out to visit grandparents or something and thus made him miss the last ever episode. He's been waiting all this time to see it :D
 
Just watched Zodiac this evening which was OK, nowt special, but I saw Burn After Reading last night and loved that. Can't beat the Coen Brothers for dark laughs really.

I wasn't really allowed to watch TV in the mornings but one day I came across it by chance on the black and white portable TV in the kitchen. I thought it was perhaps the most amazing thing I had ever seen (Dai X transforming into a robot from a spaceship).
