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

[DotCommunist]

Just watched Tropic Thunder.

Gash, imo.

Profanity isn't a replacement for gags. Don't get me wrong, I like a good bit of the old swearing but in a comedy film I want jokes as well.

Also, it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

 

[Goatherd]

I'm continuing to plow through Series 3 and 4 of Mr.Show on DVD. Series 3 isn't as good as 1-2 IMO.

 

[jeff_leigh]

My Wife's a Gangster 3 - Not as good as the first 2, But still OK.

 

[belboid]

Indianna Jones & The Crystal Skull - entertaining tosh, better than I feared it might be.

First half of State of Play - the original, not the shitty remake. Fuck its good!

Tropic Thunder is fucking excellent, a refreshing change to the usual shite thats been coming out of hollywood since American Pie. You sir, are a cad and an applejohn and on that note, I bid you good day.

Burn after reading. Ok, but not laught out loud funny.

 

[kyser_soze]

The Godfather Pt I on bluray...awesome transfer, just made watching it all so much more pleasurable...

 

[Miss Potter]

Frost/Nixon. Enjoyed it, Michael Sheen was Michael Sheen doing an impression of David Frost but Frank Langella was sublime as Richard Nixon.

I want to see All The President's Men now

 

[Sadken]

I'm continuing to plow through Series 3 and 4 of Mr.Show on DVD. Series 3 isn't as good as 1-2 IMO.

LOVE this show. I honestly think they got better with each series and series 3 has "the fairsley difference", which is maybe my favourite bit out of many, many to choose from.

 

[N_igma]

Finally got round to watching In Bruges last night after so many people here raving about it.

I thought it was ok, few laugh out loud moments but definitely have seen better.

 

[El Jefe]

on TV, Wilbur wants To Kill Himself. A sad and lovely little film

 

[grubby local]

again on TV, my God, what a doc. I'm tearful, speechless.

'Stranded'.

The story told by the survivors of the 1972 plane crash in Chile.

"It is simply one of the best stories of human perseverance ever and the film conveys this with absolute accuracy."

Fuck - I was gonna watch that! Dogme innit?

 

[jeff_leigh]

21 - College students scamming a Vegas casino, kinda predicted the ending though.

 

[The Octagon]

The last 3 episodes of The Wire Season 2.

Fuck, that was a depressing (but good) season, I felt sorry for almost everyone by the end.

I've got Seasons 3, 4 and 5 still wrapped in cellophane awaiting my return from Glastonbury.

 

[belboid]

oh I'd forgotten we watched Death at a Funeral. Supposedly hilarious (according to friends with taste, normally) and starring the lovely Dylan Moran. It was actually Matthew Macfadyen and was a funny as a hernia.

We turned off and watched some more State of Play

 

[ViolentPanda]

All four episodes of "The Nightmare Man".

 

[Pie 1]

Dreadful film. They should all be fucking ashamed.

Watched State of Play original last week. Superb.

no, it was gash. Tryhard gash.

 

[belboid]

Watched State of Play original last week. Superb.

innit? I'm torn for tonight, pack for glastonbury, or watch the end of SoP?

Sod it, can throw all me clothes into a bag in the moring, should only take five minutes

 

[rennie]

The last 3 episodes of The Wire Season 2.

It's a bit hard to emphasise with Ziggy though innit?

 

[Yetman]

no, it was gash. Tryhard gash.

You cant say Robert Downey Jr wasnt ace in it?

What do you mean, 'you' people?

What do YOU mean, 'you' people?

TC was ace as well. You dont know fun you loser

 

[100% masahiko]

La Zona - Not sure if it's a Mexican or Argentian film but it seriously rocked. Think 1984, mob mentality and class consciousness. Intelligent take.

 

[The Octagon]

It's a bit hard to emphasise with Ziggy though innit?

He's a proper dick, but still felt sorry for him -

Spoiler: Wire Season 2

Particularly the scene in which Frank visits him in the lock-up and he then has to walk back into the cell filled with guys twice his size, eyeing him up like a drunken prom date

(((Ziggy's pretty mouth)))

I just saw "Burn After Reading" - after hearing so much about how it was a return to form for the Coen Brothers, I was a bit, well, disappointed tbh.

Maybe I was gassing too much to my mate and not paying attention?

 

[Sunspots]

Spalovac mrtvol (The Cremator)

Dark, grotesque, and unsettling. No surprise to discover that the director is a close contemporary of Jan Svankmajer.

(-Anybody else seen this?)

Had it ready to watch, sitting on the pile for over a year now. Loads of Czechs from the 60s to catch up on - Jaromil Jires and Vojtech Jasny's (loose) trilogy which i'm hoping to get through this week.

I watched Tony Manero lat night - dark as fuck Chilean story about an utterly amoral scumbag obsseed with Tony Manero, Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever. Set in the middle of the Pinochet dictatorship - basically a story about a society rotting from the inside out.

 

[belboid]

Finished State of Play.

Fucking great.

That looks really interesting - will stick that on my rental list

No, it's pretty underwhelming. No Country For Old Men isn't all that either.
