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

[El Jefe]

the first two parts of the 2nd half of BSG4.

A laff riot

and another couple. nearly there.

 

[keybored]

Just saw Lucky Number Slevin, I don't know why I put off watching it for the last few years 'cos I thoroughly enjoyed it. Must have been the title.

And Sexy Beast a couple of nights ago, which was pretty good too.

 

[The Octagon]

The Wire - Season 2, Episode 6

Spoiler: episode

*pours one out for D*

Guess that's what happens when Stringer takes a fancy to your bird.

I thought he'd be around for a lot longer (though I guess he'd never have got out of prison like Avon still could)

In other news, Nikos / Nicky is growing on me and I still want Ziggy to die horribly.

 

[kyser_soze]

The rest of S2 of Mad Men, which ends brilliantly, satisfying as both an end if they never make another series, and a perfect springboard into a post-Cuban missile crisis world.

I hope they don't end it here, as I'd love to see how Sterling Cooper reacts to Kennedy being assasinated...

 

[Yetman]

That film about Factory Records

Underworld 2 - good sequel but you can tell the next one is gonna be one of those that you shout 'YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT' at the screen when they change the laws of nature and physics in order to milk another movie out of the franchise.

Thirteenth Floor - mmmmmmmmmmmeh, should have enjoyed this much more than I did.

 

[Badgers]

Over the weekend:

JCVD
Really enjoyed this one despite not really liking anything he has done before

 

[markb28970]

Saw that 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days. Fantastic bit of filmmaking but bloody grim.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Kiki's Delivery Service - visually beautiful with a great score and a charming story, as you kind of expect from Studio Ghibli

We'd recorded it from the TV a while ago so had American dubbing rather than subtitles which was a bit jarrring - I didn't like GG's voice at all.

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm watching this:

it's not very good

 

[El Jefe]

i nearly went to see it at the ICA, but figured it was a "great title / concept but shit movie" kind of deal

 

[Dillinger4]

I am watching 'The Room' by Tommy Wiseau, for the second night in a row.

This is the worst film I have ever seen. It is awful. It is so bad that it is brilliant. It has everything in it, and none of it works. I cant believe something this rubbish could ever have been created.

 

[Sadken]

I'm watching this:

it's not very good

Haha, I scrolled down that poster thinking "Oh my God, this looks fucking amazing and then saw your comment". Imagine you, as me, doing that: it was really quite comical.

 

[El Jefe]

More BSG4.

 

[ramjamclub]

3:10 To Yuma, one of the best westerns since The Unforgiven

 

[electrogirl]

I really think I would like Poltergay. Just by looking at that poster, and the fact OU doesn't like it, makes me think I would really enjoy it.

 

[keybored]

Just seen Lord Of War. Not worth your time if you've already seen Blow 'cos it's the same film but with guns not coke and Cage not Depp.

And if you haven't seen Blow, watch that instead. It's better.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy


"Well, it looks like we got ourselves a bi-lingual bloodfest."

heh

 

[electrogirl]

I love lamp

 

[MightyAphrodite]

You stay classy

(your tag should say 'shutup internet!' instead of just shutup ....)

 

[The Octagon]

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy


"Well, it looks like we got ourselves a bi-lingual bloodfest."

heh

Probably one of the most quotable films ever

"Brick. Where did you get the grenade?"
"I don't know"

"I killed a man with a trident"

"Sex Panther"

your username is the same name as brian fantanas penis....

"Brian Fantana: People call me the Bry man; I'm the stylish one of the group. I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called The Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater. You ladies play your cards right you just might get to meet the whole gang. "

maybe sadken wont faint because ive put rudds face here, hope not/so, he has a mancrush on the ruddster ...

 

[Sadken]

He's just a very handsome and charismatic man indeedy.

I think Step Brothers - having seen it several times - is nearly as good as Anchorman and Talledega Knights but, definitely, Ron Burgundy is Will Ferrell's best performance.

 

[electrogirl]

Have you seen the trailer for 'I Love you, Man' Sadken?

I can't help but worry it's going to be shit.

Yeah, and the reviews probably will be shit too but there seems to be a real problem marketing that sort of film for some reason; they always focus on, like, fart gags or something like that for the trailer - just the least funny, most puerile bits which don't seem at all funny out of context- and sometimes aren't in context- when there's often a lot of subtler humour at work within.

Yeah, I think I am going to argue that there is subtle comedy at work within Will Ferrell films too.

You might be right, the marketing for 40 yr old Virgin was the most ridiculously misleading I have ever seen, and put me off seeing the film for years.

'I love you, man' is excellent, dont listen to electrogirl!

its fab.

 

[Sadken]

Yeah, and I distinctly remember seeing adverts for In Bruge and saying "why do people even bother making films like that?" only to find that it was, in fact, brilliant.

 

[electrogirl]

I didn't actually say it was shit tbf, I haven't seen it.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

no i know you didnt...sorry

i have seen it and i loved it, but i love all those films.

 

[Sadken]

How did you see it, MA? You were saying it was cool before it was released - did you watch that crappy cam version that's knocking around online? I'm waiting for a decent release or I might, y'know, go to the cinema.
