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

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

wut? it's an astounding film. proper intricate. like seeing inside someone's mind.

I really thought this was one of the most fantastic things I had ever seen until about half or two thirds of the way though, where it seemed to lose it's way a bit and became predictable and dull. The craziness of reality blending with fiction seemed to get lost.
However my disappointment in the second half is probably partly due to the fantastic amusingness of the first half. I had not been so hooked on a film in a long time.

Being John Malkovich was great.

Now there is a shit film. Can't stand it.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Rock 'n' Roll cop is cool. Saw it years ago. Anthony Wong is always good to watch.

Yeah, think I'll watch it again soon.

Watched Predator with Nanker Jnr last night.

I haven't seen it since it came out on VHS originally...when I really didn't like it.....but last night I found it quite enjoyable.

I did think that if you swapped out The Predator for John Rambo from First Blood and vica versa....you'd still have the same two films.

Anyway it was fun, and Arnie was quite watchable......

Nanker Jnr just worked his way through the Alien Quad....now he's onto the Predator films and then to the awful Alien Vs Predator films.

He's also got the Mariachi trilogy lined up.

There's a new 'Predators' film coming out this summer.

It really is a film of two halves - the first being very funny, surreal and coherent, with the second half being allowed to literally spiral in on itself, just as creative and intelligent.....and entertaining (I thought), but the shrinking and replication of life, the claustrophobia,the darkening mood and sense of doom doesn't make for a shiny happy ending....life is death and all that!

I loved it......didn't get all of it, but I had fun with it.

I'll let the kid know....he'll shrug his shoulders and say 'huh'.

That'll be excitement.

Goddamit. Sometimes I feel people are only on the internet to talk and argue about stuff.

That's the power of bedrooms and keyboards.

It's a bit like The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe......weedy little middle class kids go through the interweb and suddenly they deem themselves royalty that can take on everyone.....and win!

....but then they go back through and nothing has changed and they are still in surbiton, croyden, slough......wherever...and no one cares.

But I'm not from the burbs! I'm from the city.

More the Lion, The Witch and the self facilitating media node.

Well, then I wasn't talking about you.....unless it applies.

I was talking the magic of the internet in general and it's ability to turn wimps into warriors at the touch of the CAPS LOCK key.

Carshalton.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Sounds like a make of carpet.

Give you nice price?

Yeah I know what you mean but, I began to guess where part two was going as well so it just didn't seem all that clever anymore either.

I think I will watch it again soon and see if I still feel the same way. It sort of reminded me of 'Jacobs ladder' and maybe 'the i inside' in some ways.

Ace arent they?

I watched Hellboy 2. Another film with great visuals, a CGI beanfeast in fact. Sometimes got a bit confusing and the plot wasnt as good as the first but the style and graphics are what makes this movie

[belboid]

Just watched the extra's to The Beat Is The Law, cracking wee thingymebob about the Sheffield music scene between the Cabs & Pulp (with a bit of each of them in it too). One of the main features it is sold on is te 'mini-documentary' 'The Dolebusters' (a wee Sheffield day festival, held in the centre Againat Unemployment). It lasts seven minutes.

 

[rutabowa]

"The Virgin Suicides", bit shit, teen highschool movie with arty bits and "filosofy".

Several episodes of 30 Rock that were Sky+'ed

It's just the best comedy ever made.

Nothing is better than Curb!
