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

[llion]

Waiting for Guffman - Hilarious. The second best of the Christopher Guest/Michael McKean/Harry Shearer films IMO. Not as funny as Spinal Tap but possibly funnier than Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.

 

[mentalchik]

Daybreakers - not bad, quite enjoyable take on vampires etc
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - okish, bit too long but liked the look of it
Pandorum - fairly entertaining tosh in space

 

[silverfish]

District 9, which was great

Australia (desperation set in) was absolute fucking pump, managed about 20 minutes of it

I need to watch District 9 again. Normally am a sucker for that type of film but it did not click first time around.

 

[Part 2]

episodes 1-3 of Our Friends in the North. First rewatch, still stands up as a top piece of television. At first I thought it had dated a little but the writing is excellent.

 

[Jackobi]

Kick Ass - absolute garbage requiring the intellectuality of a dead fly.

it must be tough having the intellectual prowess of a flea.

 

[revol68]

Martyr's: A really brutal french horror, really "enjoyed", was certainly rather captivating, though it kind of lost it's impact towards the end.

 

[RaverDrew]

The Darjeeling Limited

Very enjoyable

Wes Anderson is a cunt.

 

[RaverDrew]

Wes Anderson is a cunt.

Come again ?

 

[avu9lives]

Bringing up Baby! Probably the funniest screwball comedy ever. (IMHO) "Laugh" A nearly wet me pants

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Wes Anderson is a cunt.

Even if he is (I don't know him personally) I can let him off for Rushmore alone.

 

[Orang Utan]

the imaginarium of doctor loadofoldbollocks

 

[chazegee]

the imaginarium of doctor loadofoldbollocks

Yep.

Twin warriors was not though.

 

[rutabowa]

i agree, if they had ended it with the bolt head woman scuttling around making animal noises it would have been a properly horrific film, all that philosophy stuff in the last 3rd was a bit boring.

Kick Ass - absolute garbage requiring the intellectuality of a dead fly.

Did someone tell you it was an intellectual film? Or are you insulting the intelligence of the people that enjoyed it?

I liked it. Certainly a more adult version of a superhero movie with healthy doses of cynicism.

Watched In Bruges again at the weekend....just can't go wrong with that one.

 

[Jackobi]

Did someone tell you it was an intellectual film? Or are you insulting the intelligence of the people that enjoyed it?

I can see why it appeals to 13 year-old, homophobic [OMG she thinks I iz a fag!1!], frat boys, otherwise it was just mind-numbingly pathetic. I expected something more like Kill Bill after reading all of the hype, it is just bad, teen comedy at best.

"It it so like, pwns, like when like the little girl says like, "Cunts", like that is so like rad, man."

I should have trusted my instinct and avoided, but each to their own.

 

[Jackobi]

it must be tough having the intellectual prowess of a flea.

Yeah, I feel sorry for Jane Goldman.

 

[DexterTCN]

I can see why it appeals to 13 year-old, homophobic [OMG she thinks I iz a fag!1!], frat boys, otherwise it was just mind-numbingly pathetic...

I'm neither 13 nor homophobic. I enjoyed it.

If I don't like a film, I don't feel the need to insult others. Unlike some cunts around here.

 

[Jackobi]

Actually, thinking about it, there was one scene in it which I did find amusing.

Spoiler: kick ass scene

When Nicholas Cage was shooting his daughter in the chest to test her bulletproof vest

That was a bit WTF?

 

[DexterTCN]

Yeah that was original. Part of the trouble with Kick Ass is that one of the main characters is very young - which implies it's targetted at young people.

Now...with DVD/net/cable...it probably *is* targetted at them in the long term, but it's original release I saw mainly as for an adult (movie educated) audience.

It was great weirdo.

[imposs1904]

The Likely Lads

The 1976 film.

 

[Orang Utan]

the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford. this nearly 3 hour movie was almost ruined by the MASSIVE spoiler in the title.
and he took his sweet fucking time doing it.
nice photography. good ACTING. i shall never watch it again.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I watched a canadian film called Pontypool. A viral horror film set in a radion station. Had the always dependable Steve McHattie.

Low Budget, nice set up, enjoyed it a lot, but fizzled a bit towards the end.....not sure the idea for the virus was fully thought through....but then again, I could just be bieng thick and didn't understand what it was getting at towards the end.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

the hangover (for the millionth time, i love that movie )

 

[belboid]

and he took his sweet fucking time doing it.
