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

[llion]

Adventureland. Made by the same people who made Superbad, but its much gentler and sweeter, and Jesse Eissenberg, who was in the Squid and the Whale, is very good as the slightly dazed and befuddled main character.

 

[imposs1904]

Sidney Lumet's The Anderson Tapes.

 

[Orang Utan]

the virgin spring - excellent. are all bergman's like this? amazing photography - people's faces look incredible. the story is very simple but it's well metaphysical.
my flatmate rented it cos the last house on the left takes it plot from it and i was slightly iffy about watching it as i thought bergman was all about peasants frowning in b&w - there IS a lot of that, but there's some amazing lyrical language and powerful imagery in there too.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Agreed on Caprica. Nothing is happening and annoying blonde woman is not dead. It needs to perk up.

I know, WTF? It can't be a great show if they are trying to make a tense situation yet you are willing the woman to die.

Plus I HATE the Adama element. No need to crowbar BSG into it, crowbar a good plot in there somewhere instead. I loved it when they played the 'original' BSG music in the new BSG pilot but it felt all facepalmy when they did it on Caprica last week.

Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (1981) - About teenage drug culture in 70s Berlin. Amazing film with a great Bowie soundtrack.

 

[pboi]

Legion.

Looking for Eric - enjoyable. Definately worth a watch.

 

[Pie 1]

Caprica EP4
It's just boring and irritating now. I can't see this lasting the corse.

Yep. It's definitely starting to look a bit shaky.
It also has, quite possibly, the worst title sequence in living memory.

the tech guy fiddling about with the proto-cylon that then cuts to shots of her as her human form looking all pleased is more than a little creepy.

Yeah, he's saying stuff like 'your chest is ace' (i.e. the robotic compartment of nerd wires and stuff). Then is cuts to the girl looking all pleased with her boobs.

It's not good that I can't find it in me to like one single member of the cast.

 

[dilute micro]

Ink

 

[idioteque]

Just watched the Science of Sleep.

Amazing.

 

[imposs1904]

Whip It

It was real good.

 

[madzone]

I watched Seven Pounds with Will Smith. It was very moving. I want to hate Will Smith but I can't

 

[Fictionist]

Seven Pounds.

Predictable but still worth watching.

 

[100% masahiko]

The Crazies - excellent re-imagining. Good pace. Recommend.

 

[Sunspots]

Just finished a ten-episode marathon of Deadwood Series 2.

Al's stones: *winces*

 

[DJ Squelch]

Reefer Madness: The Musical - which was much smarter & funnier than I thought it would be.

 

[andy2002]

Seven Pounds - one of Will Smith's occasional forays into SERIOUS ACTING. Thought it was dull and slow for the most part but redeemed by some clever storytelling and the presence of Rosario Dawson. Cool dog, too...

Seven Pounds.

Predictable but still worth watching.

I watched this too, Got a little bit of grit in my eye

 

[rutabowa]

watched Away We Go which is a kind of american indie comedy about this slacker couple who are having a baby and they go around america to fins themselves or something, it is quite sweet and subtle and a nice change from gore/horror films. it was almost ruined by the horrible twee music though, on the whole i would recommend though. also i watched Santa Sangre which was pretty fucked up but also very silly and tacky, but had some good bits.

 

[Orang Utan]

deuce bigalow - european gigolo - even funnier the second time round. sure, it's homophobic and racist in a puerile way, but it was just what i needed after a 14 hour shift at work.

 

[kyser_soze]

S1 and half of S2 of Entourage. Absolute fucking genius show, wish I'd started watching it earlier...altho the 30mins per ep running time is schweet.

Ari is one of the best creations on telly ever. He's brilliant.

 

[Sunspots]

Zizek!

This is the first time I've actually bothered to check him out for anything beyond a five minute interview (-typically for me, I got put off by all the hype a few years ago).

I'm fairly sure I failed to follow everything he said, nor did I necessarily agree with what I think I understood o), but interesting stuff none the less. Think I'd now like to watch The Pervert's Guide To Cinema sometime soon.

 

[Yetman]

13 Tenseki (or something like that) pretty good French film, nothing massive or awesome, just an interesting story to whittle away an hour or so with.

Also watched half of Pontypool. My hopes for a welsh zombiefest were scuppered but this is going well, when the main characters are nice and unsteady and you're just waiting for them to freak out. Watched ep1 of misfits as well which was excellent

 

[chazegee]

Felix the cat.

Robert Crumb character animated.

Spot on.

W/Great sub Hendrix psychedelic soundtrack.

Felix the cat wasn't a Robert Crumb character, He was drawn by Pat Sullivan

 

[rutabowa]

Fritz the cat!

Aha gotcha !

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Fritz the cat!

Indeed, and Crumb hated the animated film. I can see why, it's fucking woeful.
