I thought the long one came first (or at least at the same time) and a shorter edit was made for the three extremes volume 2. The long one is supposed to be much better but I have never seen it. My favorite of the 3 extremes vol 2 was the park chan wook one. I was pretty disappointed by the miike takashi box one.

Yes, the shorter version is a cut down of the feature film that focuses more on the horror elements.
 
I think "Cut" was my favourite of the three films... well it was the most disorienting and disturbing anyway.

Yeah. Thats the Park Chan Wook one, my favorite too by a long way. Have you seen Sympathy for Mr Vengeance? It's one of my favorite films. Dark but pretty (in a tragic way) funny. Quite clever in the way that it gets you to root for just about everyone.

This is where it gets very confusing! Three extremes vol 2 is actually another portmanteau set (originally called Three) released 2 years before the Three Extremes we're talking about here - so i assume when you say vol 2 you mean vol 1 over here? IYSWIM :D

It's not that confusing. There was Three and it's superior sequel Three...Extremes. As we have only been talking about Three...Extremes and the full feature version of one of it's segments, Dumplings one can assume that Atomic is referring to Three...Extremes, the second film with Vol.2.
 
However, the first one was released (or re-released) as Vol 2, so refering to vol 2 would lead one to think that maybe he was getting mixed up - hence the request for clarification.
 
AND i watced Trouble Every Day and 35 Shots of Rum by Claire Denis. i think i prefered Trouble Every Day more, maybe i was just more in the mood for it, they are both worth watching though, but 35 Shots is v low key. Trouble Every Day has the actress with the gap in her teeth from A l'Interieur in, she plays a mental psycho murderer in this one too, she must get sick of fake blood.

I've only ever heard and read about the first film referred to by it's title Three. I've never heard about an alternatice title called "Vol 2" :confused:

Can't check Imdb, it keeps crashing on my work computer.
 
Tried to wacth Slumdog Millionaire on DVD on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, the subtitles were this big making then unreadable and the film unwatchable. :mad:
 
It was released under that title in a lot of anglophone markets:

I have the chinese DVD which says Three Extremes 2. I do remember someone mentioning that the first set had been released in the uk now but did not realize that they called that volume 2. The fact that we have been talking about the same films and directors points towards the fact there was little or no confusion.
 
District 9

The "social commentary" on apartheid or whatever was as subtle as a brick, but as a scifi action movie with a bit more brains than usual, it was good. unique style to it.
 
You Don't Mess With The Zohan.

It was funny. When you watch an Adam Sandler movie, you can't go in expecting great revelations or deep truth. You have to settle for being entertained, laughing a few times.

I laughed out loud a number of times. Sandler usually is able to come up with something comical that's unexpected, and he gets a few of those off in this movie.
 
Funny People. Some great gags from a huge comedy cameo cast.

Bit of a "mick" flick really though or whatever the male equivalent of a chick flick is.
 
I also watched a film last night called 'Armoured' starring Matt Dillon, Lawrence Fishburne, Jean Reno, Fred Ward, Milo Ventimiglia, Skeet Ulrich.....and directed by Nimród Antal who did Kontrol....so you'd think it'd be an alright with that cast and director, but it was one of the most plodding, workman like, tv drama quality films I've ever seen.

A plodding heist movie. Steer clear.
 
I watched Up! last night. Very much enjoyed it, surprisingly it was a bit of a tear jerker! But I can be a little sentimental at times.
 
I watched the last hour of the surprisingly watchable 'The Holiday'. Cheesy as fuck for sure, but I wasn't forced to annoy Wrysmile by switching channels claiming eye-inflammation.
 
Smoking aces. I think this is the third time I have watched this total mess of a film, and I really can't explain why. It should be a very very simple 15 minutes tops set up. I don't mind it being a stupid film but if it's going to be then it doesn't need to come up with any long winded explanations. A variety of bizarre hit men are all after a man who suddenly has a lot of money on his head, what more do you need to know?
Could of been a much better film but I don't think editing could ever save whats there.
