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

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a Japanese anime

A bit girlie in a teen rom-com kinda way. But like it 'cos of the sci-fi bit.

The time travel storyline isn't complicated and doesn't have the problem like other time travel movies where you'd meet your old self in the past and have to end up killing them like in Primer.

Have you seen Primer? That doesn't happen.

The Volunteer.

A fairly minor Powell & Pressburger, only 45 mins, but still quite enjoyable, despite its propaganda role. It also gives Laurence Olivier his greatest ever role - 'Man impersonating a fish outside restaurant window'

 

[Zabo]

Mesrine

Excellent French gangster bio-pic film. Well worth watching the two dvd's. And what a cast!

Brilliant.

 

[Voley]

More Deadwood.

Best quote from tonight:

Wild Bill: Sure you wanna quit playing, Jack? The game's always between you and getting called a cunt.
Tom Nuttall: Meeting adjourned, fellas, take it outside.
Wild Bill: That dropped eye of yours looks like the hood on a cunt to me, Jack. When you talk, your mouth looks like a cunt moving.
Jack McCall: I ain't gonna get in no gun fight with you, Hickock.
Wild Bill: But you will run your cunt mouth at me. And I will take it, to play poker.

I had to rewind it and listen to it twice.

Trixie is by far one of the most under-rated female characters of modern TV shows.

She has some choice lines.

Was watching an Ep with Miss-shelf when Trixie uttered the words 'You’re too fucking healthy-minded. You’ll sit here waiting for me to materialize from a piece of fucking furniture and think the world is normal'

Which, given the scene and the setting and the time is very fucking funny and smart.

i watched Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, it was excellent again but didn't quite match mr vengeance... i think because the plot was a bit more linear and thriller-y... but still better than almost every other film.

 

[Cm7]

Have you seen Primer? That doesn't happen.

Yes I saw Primer and yes that happens in Primer - when the guy travels back in time, he has to kill his old-self. They can't co-exist at the same time. Otherwise you end up with duplicates.

 

[Grandma Death]

Revolutionary Road. Not nearly half as good as I expected. The two main protagonists annoyed the hell out of me.

No.

 

[DotCommunist]

First half of 1066: Battle for Middle earth

Shite. Looked like they filmed a particularly impoverished re-enactment society

 

[nicksonic]

frost/nixon - very good

three and out - good

in bruges - very good

 

[Voley]

Caught up with a load of South Park & Family Guy that Sky+ has been collecting for me over the last few weeks. The 'Awesome-o' episode of SP was really funny, others less so.

 

[marty21]

2 Episodes of The Shield - Season 4

and

'Moon'

 

[Dillinger4]

I saw that. It was phenomenally bad.

If ever soaring ambition was articulated through depressing crapness...

You know what? My older brother (well only brother) gave me my first tiny dvd. at Christmas. However, I can't figure out how to record on it-- on the buttons it says nowt about recording.!!! I feel so behind and would love to record many 1930'3 40'50's etc. for me mom.

maybe it's just a dvd player and can't record anything?

 

[marty21]

last 2 episodes of the shield, season 4, and The Thin Man, 1934 film, another box set begins!

i would have found it fine


except the only time i got around to watching it i was on ket so it's still a bit confused in my head

 

[Zabo]

Bergman's "The Magic Flute". Good but not as good as Losey's "Don Giovanni".

 

[DJ Squelch]

The Terror Of Tiny Town 1938 musical western where the entire cast is played by midgets (riding shetland ponies). classic

Watched Up again last night - just as great the 2nd time around and still as touching, exciting, funny, and thrilling in 2D.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Terror Of Tiny Town 1938 musical western where the entire cast is played by midgets (riding shetland ponies). classic

that reminds me of a film i saw with a cast of dogs in clothes and hats hanging about a speakeasy, smoking and drinking and playing the piano. the manager of the speakeasy asks a young bitch to come into his office then proceeds to rape her. the rest of the punters her the damsel's screams and break in and save her.
now i read what i've typed, maybe i didn't see it and is the product of a feverish cheese dream.
