Enjoyable but very simple plot (have a bribe. no thank you. have a bribe. no thank you. have a bribe. no thank you. have a bribe. no thank you. have a bribe. no thank you. have a bribe. I'm telling. the end.) Pacino in good form and looking great in that beard. Terrible soundtrack.

My Blu-ray of Magnolia arrived today and I watched it on my projector. It seems to be a love it or hate it film, but I think it's one of the ten best films of the 90s and a genuine original. If it occasionally falters, then that's only fair for a film that dares to take more risks than most.
Superficially an LA ensemble drama along the lines of Short Cuts or Crash, this is much more ambitious. Its an epic of the emotional currents of its characters and it's carried along by its swooping camera work, a great cast, wild excursions into Fortean phenomena and an incredibly beautiful score by Jon Brion.
The mid-section is the best part. It's like some 50s Douglas Sirk melodrama on steroids, as several characters simultaneously head towards emotional meltdown while the camera deliriously swirls around them. After the Aimee Mann singalong it flounders for a while till finding its feet again with the frog raining climax.

Dont walk away in silence
^ iirc it would've origanally only gone out with the episode title, the return of the daleks would've been a shock for viewers if they hadn't been spoilered by the Radio Times etc.
Episode 2 is pretty sloooooow, felt a lot longer than 25 minutes. Made it to episode 3 on Monday, have decided to give it a break now (it's the only remaining unwatched Dr Who story I own).
It's a lot better, also felt longer but as a good thing - the amount of plot/exciting things happening. Cool as fuck but down right bizarre Dalek battle editing. Director/producer etc somehow managed to make the Dalek dodging wheel chair race round London (while the Daleks - Nazi saluting with their plungers - trundle past the historic Landmarks/monuments just missing them in the next streets) look thrilling rather than silly. The music/drums helped too.
Didn't expect Dortman's sacrifice to happen so early, thought it'd be more heroic (and his bomb didn't work in the end
)Other recent viewing: last episode of series one of Men Behaving Badly.
I've now seen every episode at least once, (I think).
I won't be in a hurry to rewatch that series, Sex and Violence was almost a classic though (if only it'd been Tony...) My Brilliant Career was half great, loved the parts mostly focussed on Gary, Anthea and George in the restuarant , but had to fast forward past Dermot.

It's like they only had so much money, so they had to choose: plot? cast? direction? cinematography?
They went with cinematography. And even then, I'd say that they didn't get back a hundred cents' worth on the dollar.

You're right there - I've only seen it once but hated it as much as I hate Closer and Donnie fucking Darko (i.e. a lot). Some of the performances are superb (Julianne Moore especially) but that's about it. The rest is an irritating, self-indulgent mess.

Self indulgence is an easy accusation to make against almost any very personal, really ambitious film. I also don't see what these three films have in common apart from that you don't like them, but thanks for sharing anyway.

there's nothing wrong with a spot of self-indulgence if you have talent. i don't think magnolia is at all self-indulgent though. it's a film i can watch repeatedly and there aren't that many of those.

I thought it was a pretty good comedy myself - 20 minutes too long.

The 2004 documentary 'Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train'. A fitting tribute to a great man. Recommended to those who haven't seen it.

I watched Gamer. Gerard Butler doing hard (if he's not doing hard, he's doing rom-com) and it's 'ok' if you've been into on-line gaming etc. Dexter's in there as well.
What it does have though is a couple of scenes that seem to be homage to BladeRunner, I swear. (Plus a Pris Prossie)
i watched Sympathy For Mt Vengeance, it is one of the best films i have ever seen i think! my one problem with it was right at the end when it had the flash back voiceover of the girl explaining who the men were, i was like "it's alright, i knew who they were, you don't have to explain". that is a pretty minor flaw though./

Isn't it. Isn't it!!
I don't remember the flashback voiceover though. Miles better than Old Boy and Lady Vengeance.
I bet you would like kim ki duk too. Maybe not the bitter sweet ones like spring, summer blah blah or the isle (brilliant though they are). Try Bad Guy or Samaritan Girl.

So many particulars. So many questions.
More buffy.
I'm sure this is no original insight but Dawn really is the scrappy doo of this show. SUCH an annoying bint.

what was good was i didn't have a clue what to expect but it still managed to not be what i expected all the way through somehow.

Amazingly 3 years later at the age of 26 Du-na Bae (the girl) was playing a 16 year old high school girl in Japanese film Linda Linda Linda. Then two years later she was a high school girl again in the Host.
