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

[Orang Utan]

With the exception of the guy who tries to woo her - he loses his rag with his mates in the pub when they're getting lewd.

The sister's lover and the landlord are sleazebags, though.

Nah, he's a sleaze too - he wants to possess her.

 

[Reno]

Everyone in it has squalid motives - people are portrayed as petty, grubby, small-minded and malicious

That's to a large extend because they are seen from the mentally disturbed central character's unreliable POV.

Pitch Black, then Videodrome... Not my choices, but I was stoned out of my head so it was probably the same whichever way...

Love Pitch black though- Vin Diesel's films doesn't usually do much for me, but this is a gem IMO. The way they show the constantly shifting light is v. nice- I'd like to be on a planet like that! (but without monsters lol)

 

[jeff_leigh]

Master of the Flying Guillotine - Love these Kung Fu Movies

 

[Orang Utan]

Hard Candy - an immensely annoying film. I thought it was dead clever but was as vaccuous as Jordan in a babydoll dress giving a handjob to Chris Langham. Nicely shot though.

 

[mentalchik]

Daywatch - sequel to Nightwatch (well actually it's a trilogy)



enjoyable Russian nonsense !

 

[Aravis]

Finally got around to watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Fab

Not last night but this weekend I watched Perfume - Story of a Murderer. Enjoyed immensely. Then Zodiac. Twas good.

 

[rollinder]

the BBC 1954 version of 1984 (via the magic of torrents)
doubleplusgood & accidentally hilarious when Steptoe turned up (twice)

wtf can't you buy this?

 

[sheothebudworths]

Finished Series 4 of The Wire. Poor Bubs

 

[May Kasahara]

Innit

(((Bubs)))

 

[sojourner]

Not strictly last night, but...Open Hearts. Old story, but interesting film

 

[CharlieAddict]

eagle vs shark - the leading lady, loren horsley is pretty hot in real life yet manages act so 'ugly' for this role. can see why so many compared it to napoleon dynamite...not a bad effort.

Can you be so kind and put a spoiler alert on there for those of us who haven't got that far yet.

 

[May Kasahara]

It's not really a spoiler though is it? I think it's fair to say that at any time you could say 'Poor X' about most characters in The Wire!

 

[sheothebudworths]

Fucking hell, calm down!

I thought it through before I posted and came to the same conclusion as May...that it is not a spoiler.


OK?

 

[sheothebudworths]

(Poor McNulty )

 

[Reno]

(Poor sheothebudworths )

 

[sheothebudworths]

Yes.
Poor me.
Poor, poor me.


(((((((((((((((( me ))))))))))))))))

 

[sheothebudworths]

My daughter says that....'Oh poor you mummy! Poor, poor you! Poor, poor you, mummy! '
I'm thinking...'Settle down, I've only stubbed my fucking toe - do you know something I don't? '

Just a touch too much pity, y'know?


Poor me.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Anyway.

Back to the telly.

 

[sheothebudworths]

I'm currently downloading the first half of Series 5 btw Reno, so I'll keep ya posted!

 

[MightyAphrodite]

my favourite film that ive seen a zillion times....

The Departed

 

[Orang Utan]

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things - it had its moments but was mostly trash - based on the supposed childhood of 'JT LeRoy' - has all sorts of terrible tragic things happening in it, but I felt detached from it. And Asia Argento doesn't look so hot in it as she normally does

[dlx1]

tonight I got The Graduate

sound track

 

[jeff_leigh]

Volcano High

 

[Orang Utan]

The Island, clueless knuckle-dragging gormless ludicrous cloning thriller from the never understated Michael Bay. A heinous amount of product placement and riddled with gaping plot holes. I loved it.

The Battle Of Haditha - Nick Broomfield's documentary style account of a massacre of innocents in Iraq- told from as an impartial perspective as possible and for the most part succssful in doing so, though the very fact of Broomfield making it shows what side he's on - much better than the current crop of vaguely critical but unfocussed Iraq movies.

 

[El Jefe]

The Island, clueless knuckle-dragging gormless ludicrous cloning thriller from the never understated Michael Bay. A heinous amount of product placement and riddled with gaping plot holes. I loved it.

I thought it was AWFUL. A poor Logan's Run rip-off entirely free of excitement or narrative.

or acting

Oh it WAS awful, but the thing about Michael Bay movies is that none of that matters

 

[extra dry]
