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

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm trying to remember a movie you do actually like, just quickly checked your lasty fifty posts on here and there doesn't seem to have been one!.

I think I only mentioned 4 films in the last 50 posts, one of which I gushed nearly two pages with Nanker about. The only one I said was 'shit' was Jackie Brown. Only two people (including you) said it wasn't, and two people (including me) said it was boring.

I was just wondering where you got the idea I only liked moronic children's films?

I have not seen IB so can't comment.

Sorry I think 3 people actually said JB was good.

Dark Water - okay
Wolf Creek - predictable and boring

I have only seen the Japanese Dark Water and it was terrible, not scary at all and pretty boring to boot. I think I actually bought the DVD but then took it back to the shop in disgust.

I liked Wolf Creek, I don't think I could watch it again though until I forget about everything that happened in it.

Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Beer Day.

Hilarious in parts, just like the tv show. Worth watching.

I enjoyed it, too. Lahey really stole the show with his almost Shakespearean tragic role...Some of the other characters were definitely a bit more subdued (Bubbles was almost speaking with a "normal" voice!), and a I bet a few viewers who bailed before the credits rolled wouldn't have known what became of J Roc..

A fair bit of bitching about it on the IMDB message board, but it definitely had its moments - the fucked-up heist and car chase scenes, for example.

I thought it was brilliantly funny.

Yeah well what do you want me to say? It's a terrible film in almost every way. Annoying characters, no suspense, no horror, badly paced.
I'm a big fan of asian horror and for this (and the laughable) Juon to be held up as shining examples in the west is just madness.

The original Dark water was a very poor entry in to the canon of post Ring films which seemed to rely on a spooky children or school girls and haunting scenes in lifts and hallways

A spectral damp patch was never really gonna get going was it?

Fell asleep twice on Blood Rain, a Korean suspense set in ancient time.
Will try to finish the last quarter of it tonight. So far it's been interesting.

I thought together with the very different Kairo, Dark Water was the best of the Asian horror films of that time. Reminded me a bit of Polanski really.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

What the!?!

 

[Reno]

Let's not go there.

The Counterfeiters. Excellent film, uplifting in a way

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Moon - I liked it.

Clearly Silent Running was a big influence....which I knew it would be. Silent Running is my fave sci-fi of all time so I've put off watching Moon, but it was very enjoyable.

Another good Clint Mansell soundtrack too.

final two episodes of The Shield, season 6. Fucking brilliant drama, no one can say that it isn't, superbly ties so much together.

It was a show that got better and better.

It also has the best ending of all recent TV classics from Sorpanos to The Wire.

I hope so because s1 dragged the arse off me - it was just the bill.

 

[belboid]

it really has, I shouldn't say more cos I can't be arsed to use the spoiler code, but there are so many bits that seemed almost throwaway earlier that are now....oooohh, I really must leave seven a little while so I can let the rest sink in and let the excitement build.

me sis (who introduced the series to me) says she'll be round to watch the last three with us, as she both needs to see them again and wants to watch us going fuuuuuckkk with bulging eyes

that's pretty much what i thought. well, a bit better than the bill, but basically just another cop drama, with them being the biggest basards out their. and not much changes in some ways, but...

Well, I can't testify that it'll satisfy your discerning tastes, but I felt for the limitations it faced, being on a Network channel, it really got itself to a place up among the HBO shows.

Season 7 is very very different from season 1, actually season 2 really gets moving.

It's probably one of the most depressing shows since Oz.

I'm trusting you now. You've been right in the past.

 

[belboid]

I think I'll watch 1.1 now, see how they compare.

Those files were made public?

Yep, I loved that shit. Ta.

 

[belboid]

and I didn't even realise my double entendre there (well, not consciously anyway)

 

[belboid]

shit, Vic is thin

 

[Reno]

I know that there is an unwritten law that we all have to say that The Wire is our favourite show ever. I genuinely think that The Wire was brilliant but if I'm honest, the show that I enjoyed the most over the last decade was The Shield.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

shit, Vic is thin

He'd worked out big time for S1.

You should see him pre-shield

The internet is strangely devoid of pre-sheild pics.

Well for me it was The Sopranos, but I'd say that The Sheild matched The Wire.

It really pushed it's luck as a network show and hammered some big and shocking storylines.

pretty boy!

I think The Shield had a narrower reach, didn't try and do as much as The Wire, to tell as many aspects oif the story, but it did what it did superbly. Just how much was set up in this very first episode is telling.
