Clerks - Turned it off after 20 minutes. I remember it being funny

 

[Cm7]

The Road -

Haven't finished reading the book though.
Enjoyed it.
Liked the whole colour palette of the cinematography - the sudden glimpse of colours of the past contrasting the ashy grays of the presence.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Training Day! Book of Eli....yeh was a bit beige.
American Gangster!
Inside Man!
Manchurian Candiate!
Remember the Titans!
Bone Collector!#

motherfucking Malcom X!

I think you just shot yourself in the foot there. I'll give you Malcolm X, but the rest is a joke. I'm not saying that he's a bad actor, just a very limited one and to me his persona is deeply unappealing. To mention the terrible remake of The Manchurian Candidate and the crap Seven rip-off The Bone Collector can only be a joke. The rest is mediocre at best.

I really enjoyed Inside Man and thought Denzel was good in it - I think he has the potential to become an interesting older character actor.

As for Deja Vu it is a good premise not backed up by the film sadly.

I watched the supernatural thriller Triangle, which was pretty good. In terms of mood it reminded me of the excellent The Machinist and there are some odd similarities to the recent Spanish sci-fi/horror film Timecrimes ( though they were in development at the same times). Afterwards the plot twists take a while to unknot, but the puzzle starts falling into place if you know your Greek mythology.

I did the same last year. It's piss poor, I'm not sure why I ever liked it.



I watched Caprica ep 5. Better but still shit.

Is little willy adama Bill Adama then? Jesus that would be lameo, (but he is isn't he?)

 

[belboid]

Who the hell else would he be? Pay attention!

 

[Voley]

More of Series 2 of Deadwood. Just gets better and better.

Jesus! The bit with Al's dick!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think I just didn't want it to be. I only noticed them calling him Willy this week.
God, this show it too stupid. How old was he supposed to be when he fought the cylons the first time? How long was the battle? If it all started and ended in a year or so it might just make sense.

Adama was 70 in BSG?

 

[imposs1904]

Tony Scott's remake of Taking of Pelham 123. (Didn't even realise that him and Denzel Washington were being discussed on the thread.)

Very slick. Not as bad as I thought it would be, and Gandolfini has a nice wee turn in it as the Mayor of New York. Only watched it because part of it was filmed in the neighbourhood where we used to live - seemed like hundreds of bastard trucks taking up the road at the time - and that gave it curiousity value.

aah, I'd forgotten about that, marvellous telly that was

That's about right, he was about to retire when he was dumped with the Galactica. It is all explained in the show. First cylon war was 12 years long.

 

[kyser_soze]

Ah yes, passing the stone. One of the best scenes in telly history, and one where despite his absolute bastardy you feel for Al.

Kind of interesting in seeing that mainly to see how it compares to the original, which I love. Probably be a wait until it comes on TV one though - or the DVD is £3.00 in Sainsburys

I love the original as well. That's why I was a but pissed when I originally heard that Tony Scott was doing a remake. (He's also remaking The Warriors, ffs).

However, there's enough change in the script of the remake that you're not always comparing one with the other during the course of the film.

 

[Sunspots]

Jesus! The bit with Al's dick!

Yeah.

I watched that last week. Did I wince? Yes, I fucking did.

(-Currently halfway through Series 3 now, btw.)

 

[Voley]

Yeah.

I watched that last week. Did I wince? Yes, I fucking did.

I actually groaned out loud.

 

[Sunspots]

I actually groaned out loud.

I did the same last night, watching a scene in Series 3, Episode 5 (A Two-Headed Beast).

You'll know it when you see it...

 

[Orang Utan]

die hard 4
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
why did they bother?

 

[belboid]

District 9. Excellent stuff.

 

[Pie 1]

Scum.

 

[sojourner]

Scum.

I've seen that quite a few times over the years, and the horror just doesn't lessen - still churns me up

 

[100% masahiko]

Sin Nombre - Predictable. Awful. Hated all the characters. Wished they all died.

 

[DotCommunist]

Caprica. It's getting better.

 

[kyser_soze]

Is it? good, I've got 3 eps lined up and was avoiding them cos everyone was saying 'Oh it's all gone shite'

 

[Pie 1]

I've seen that quite a few times over the years, and the horror just doesn't lessen - still churns me up

1st time for me - fucking harsh, harsh film.

(it's been on the too see list for about 20 yrs ).

And to think that shit went on.

As a nipper in the late 70's, I remember a particular cunt of a headmaster threatening us with ending up in borstal.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Caprica. It's getting better.

That's not saying much though.
