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

[Part 2]

Breakdown...another from the horror films thread. Almost as funny as From Beyond, a cross between, The Hitcher, Dukes of Hazard and Deliverance.

The bad guy, imaginitively named Earl (because he's a hick) is straight out of The Spongebob movie

 

[kyser_soze]

No films, just the first 3 eps of the S4 of Ugly Betty and the new eps of Gossip Girl and Heroes...

 

[belboid]

finished Being Human, which was really very good indeed.

Then started on season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. God those webisodes were crap! Fortunately the series proper is as good as ever.

 

[belboid]

The Dark Knight.

still bloody marvellous

 

[kyser_soze]

Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty and Heroes.

Got 3 episodes of Mad Men tonight

Belb...are you a schemer?

 

[Sadken]

Zombieland - I really liked it, except for the Michael Cera lite manboychild thing in the lead role. His Ceraisms really got on my tits quickly.

Hurricane - Fucking great film. I love Den.

 

[belboid]

Belb...are you a schemer?

are we talking machiavelli, glesga, or televisual entertainment, old bean?

 

[Yetman]

Crank 2 : High Voltage

Fucking brilliant I love these films

More The Joker's monologue in the jail cell with Batman really...

The Joker: Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just... do things. The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon's got plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say... Ah, come here.

[takes Dent's hand into his own]

The Joker: When I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and look where that got you.

[Dent tries to grab the Joker]

The Joker: I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

[Joker hands Two-Face a gun and points it at himself]

The Joker: Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!

 

[belboid]

aaah yes! Fucking great scene that one. Ledger really did actually deserve his Oscar

 

[Sadken]

He did. Fucking amazing performance. Really right up there with the classics, I think.

 

[kyser_soze]

If someone ever opens up a karaoke film quotes bar, I'm doing that as my piéce de resistance

 

[Sadken]

I might do this

Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas.......What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans? That he had wisdom? Bullshit man!

 

[belboid]

I'd be tempted by the snakeskin jacket speech from Wild At Heart m'sen.

 

[kyser_soze]

i can hear Dennis Hopper say those words.

Do you reckon film quote karaoke has any legs?

 

[belboid]

I'd certainly be more up for it than the song version, as would anyone who has heard my attempts to perform....

 

[The Octagon]

If someone ever opens up a karaoke film quotes bar, I'm doing that as my piéce de resistance

This needs to happen.

 

[kyser_soze]

How to make it work tho...will have to think about this...

 

[belboid]

mmm, you play a DVD with the subtitles turned on....??

and the sound down. No, hang on, that wouldn't quite work...

 

[crustychick]

we watched Star Trek (and in English eventually once we had figured out the dual audio thing). it was aces

 

[kyser_soze]

Yeah, but how to make it work as a format. There'd be no point in just having people do single line quotes like 'I say take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.', cos they'd be up and done really quickly. Then how do you score it? Synchronicity with the soundtrack, matching gestures, tone of voice etcetc

Damn it's a hard life sometimes!

 

[Biddlybee]

Watched the last few episodes of series 3 of deadwood. Could very happily watch it all again... some of the best scripts I've heard in a while.

 

[belboid]

Yeah, but how to make it work as a format. There'd be no point in just having people do single line quotes like 'I say take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.', cos they'd be up and done really quickly. Then how do you score it? Synchronicity with the soundtrack, matching gestures, tone of voice etcetc

Damn it's a hard life sometimes!

score? ime it's make it thru to the end or get bottled off....

It'd have to be at least a minutes worth of dialogue, 'duets' would be perfectly acceptable (in which cse I bagsey the opening closing scenes from Pulp Fiction with pumpkin & honey bunny)

 

[Sadken]

I'm not sure it's workable - who really knows all the words in a scene?

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Natural Born Killers

 

[Orang Utan]

dirty sanchez - bunch of welsh cunts being cunts. a few laughs, but mostly you just hate them

 

[belboid]

I'm not sure it's workable - who really knows all the words in a scene?

who knows all the words in song? (okay quite a few people more, but....)

they have clever machines with the words on, that you read along to.

You've never karaoked I take it

 

[jeff_leigh]

I'm not sure it's workable - who really knows all the words in a scene?

You could find the script on google print it off and read along to the movie

 

[kyser_soze]

DVD with subtitles would be fine TBH, no need to get all poncey.

But you' have to do scenes.

Imagine the Aliens scene after the APC get's totalled by the dropship crashing into it! That'd be

 

[Sadken]

You've never karaoked I take it

Honestly, I consider myself to be one of the best karaoke performers in the world. I've cleared bars from Mexico City to Tokyo and a lot of places in between.

This'd be cool if it could happen, but people get into singing more than acting, I guess. I'd love it though.
