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

[Badgers]

More Potter last night.
More Potter to come tonight.

This ^ ^ ^

Prisoner of Azkaban was a bit weaker than the first two for me but pleasing weekday evening watching.

 

[Orang Utan]

Tropic Thunder - reasonably funny, hilarious in places

I saw it at the cinema

 

[foamy]

Happy Go Lucky which i really liked and he hated

 

[Sadken]

He additionally appears to have given aphids to my basil plants.

He is a Wrathful God for true

Yes. Wrathful and hairy.

 

[Yetman]

I watched it after your recommendation, it was just like being on ketamine!!

Wicked film, very well done

30 days of night, however, wasn't, What a load of shite.

I thought exactly the same thing, the shimmer on everything is a lot like being on k

I found the first half of Bad Boy Bubby to be a lot like being on k as well, albiet a lot darker than the bright electric energy of Existenz. Mind you I think I was actually on k when I watched both of them

Any more k-esque films out there?

Edit - the first 5 mins of City of Lost Children thats like a ketamine nightmare!

 

[sojourner]

it's wank

Is it? Well, find it hard to understand how you could translate that to a film anyway, so not surprising

 

[rennie]

Grey's Anatomy.

 

[maya]

'Threads'.



eek:!)

Bloody hell.

 

[sojourner]

Bloody hell.

hello you

you been on a break as well?

 

[maya]

hello you

you been on a break as well?

No, I've been breaking.

But back on track- mad - that film was SERIOUSLY bleak. *shudders*

 

[sojourner]

No, I've been breaking.

back off track hope you're all fixed now

 

[maya]

back off track hope you're all fixed now

Yeah... Thanks... I'm getting there. Picking up the pieces is hard work, though... Breaks my back(bone), that... Ho-hum.

BTW, just caught Ashes to Ashes (nicely subtitled) on swedish TV! 'Twasn't you who fancied Gene, was it? Nothing wrong with that, BTW... Just trying to get the conversation to run smoothly... back to teh film(?) world, loik...

Don't think that bird is dressed very authentically 80's, BTW... looks more like a disco queen, no copper would be dressed like that back then... too 'provocative'. Office ppl would be dressed in uglier, stuffer clothers, like on Columbo or MacGyver... Nerdy clothes, not at all fashion-y. And BTW it looks like a cheap H&M sweater bought last week... Even I could have done the costumes better.
But perhaps that's supposed to be the point- not authentic at all, keeping in mind the 'dreamworld'.

 

[ViolentPanda]

First two discs of "Kingdom Hospital".

glad you're getting there

and no it fucking wasn't me who fancied Gene!! the very thought!! :spew smilie:

That IS a funny thought *pictures souj*

 

[Part 2]

Just watched Night of the Hunter. Never seen it before but wanted to for a while, probably due to the high rating of Rev. Harry Powell in 'top bad guy' charts.

Understandable why he's up there with the worst, I like a good old film like this once in a while.

I was never that interested in films when I was younger, must be loads of old classics I've never seen.

You seen the 'original' VP? Well woth getting hold of before the king one, but too late...

(You probably know) Delicatessen?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Love Guru. Lots of midget jokes.

The best thing about this movie, is it gives a realistic portrayal of french canadians to the world. Also, it's about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jessica Alba owns the team.

 

[rollinder]

Doctor Who - Infirno on Wednesday night -
meant to watch only one or two episodes, then thinking each time it went back to the menu 'just one more...', ended up watching all all seven FUCK! (last time I couldn't stop watching something and ended up staying up to the early hours was with the second video of Edge of Darkness)

Possibly one of the bestest Doctor Who stories ever - seriously bleak (especialy for a Pertwee with green slime turning people into hairy primitives)
- drilling for energy nearly/destroys the planet, the Doctor slips sideways into 1984 (where the Brig's a fascist & the Royal Families been executed)
nobody lives - every-fucking-body in the paralel universe dies.
Craves of Androzani is the only one that grimmer really (outside the books/New Adventures).
oddly uplifting as well - re the Doctor's relization about choices and free will.

Sir Keith's a bit Steve Wright looking and there's that great line re computers

If you have a tool, it's stupid not to use it!

[Johnny Canuck3]

Bitten. It's a buddy/vampire movie.

The cute vampire chick comes between the buddies, but they get her in the end. But then at the very end, it goes all twisted again.

Possibly the best vampire chick since Lesley Warren.

I always figured, if the vampire chick invites you into eternity with her, just bare your neck and tilt your head.

 

[Biddlybee]

Dead Man's Shoes.... nice cheery number

 

[gilroy]

Rogue

Directed by Wolf Creek fella - wasn't expecting a great deal but as giant killer crocodile films go I was impressed. Looked really nice as well, lovely scenery out in Australia apparently.

Also, Radha Mitchell is in it. Shes lovely.

"Riget"? Yep, fortunately saw it before the King adaptation. I like them both, though.

 

[Grandma Death]

Dairy of the Dead. Not great but not too bad either. I just wish Romero would now move onto something else. The zombie stuff is well rinsed and since 28 Days/28 Weeks/Dawn of the Dead remake his zombies just dont seem as scary now.

 

[Orang Utan]

Heheh, great typo - zombie cows would be ace

 

[jeff_leigh]

Battle for Haditha

 

[ViolentPanda]

Final two discs of "Kingdom Hospital".
