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

[Orang Utan]

V For Vendetta.

Much better than I thought it would be, to be honest. Really liked it...

I thought it was great too - haven't read the book though

 

[El Jefe]

I thought it was great too - haven't read the book though

I know Moore was pissed off (but then he always is ) and it's too long since I read it to know how faithful it is, but for playschool us against them triumphalism, it rocked

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Forbidden Kingdom. More Jackie Chan shenanigans.

In this one, it's Jackie Chan Meets The Karate Kid.

 

[Part 2]

I thought it was great too - haven't read the book though

Book is excellent. I watched the film first then read it.

I meant to rewatch the film afterwards to see how much was different as I felt I'd got much more from the book.

 

[Biglittlefish]

The Beat that my heart skipped.
Cool french movie. I couldn't see what the fuss was about the first time I seen it. But I've seen it a few times now and really love it. Also half way through the final season of the wire. nuff said.
Getting near the end of Studio 60 on the sunset strip. Its great when it concentrates on the characters but losses me when it goes into politics.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Fountain. Of Shite. What was Aaronofsky thinking?

I liked that movie: for one thing, it got my 14 year old thinking about metaphysics.

 

[Orang Utan]

In what way?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

V For Vendetta.

Much better than I thought it would be, to be honest. Really liked it...

Me too. Was expecting it to be rubbish because everyone said it was, but I quite enjoyed it...

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

In what way?

I seem to recall discussing the concept of the soul, as well as the possibility of past lives, and the possibility of all occurrences actually existing at the same 'time', ie in a place outside of time.

Christ!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Christ!

Well what else we going to talk about. If you know any 14 year olds, you know they hate talking about girlfriends, school, etc.

 

[Badgers]

V For Vendetta.

Much better than I thought it would be, to be honest. Really liked it...

Great film, great dialogue and I have watched many times.

London in a few years perhaps

 

[belboid]

Rewatched Network - what a fucking great film.

 

[Sadken]

Who said V for Vendetta was rubbish? It's ace!

I showed Idiocracy to my girlfriend and found it wasn't as good for me 2nd time around; it kind of petered out towards the end.

Also saw Bigger, Faster, Stronger which came over as an advert for steroids, quite weirdly.

And I was subjected to the Chronicles of Narnia which I ended up really enjoying. I'd forgotten how much I love the character Edmond.

 

[Sadken]

Oh, and Zombie Strippers shits all over Eagle vs Shark, which is very boring for 75% of the time and contrived for the rest.

Oh yeah and I also saw the Fist Foot Way recently and don't know whether I liked it or not.

 

[Orang Utan]

It did a bit, but I still loved it - "hey man, I'm 'bating here"

 

[Sadken]

Haha, yeah, there are a few choice lines in it, definitely. I really like the President too - that is something that I can really see happening within 50 years.

Or even one year!

 

[Sadken]

I'd definitely vote for Macho Man Randy Savage ahead of Brown, Cameron or Clegg, I know that for DAMN sure!

 

[El Jefe]

Mutual Appreciation

mumblecore, apparently

three self-obsessed jaded neurotic NYC gimps talk about themselves for nearly 2 hours. In black and white. Frequently boring, always irritating.

So I have no idea why I really enjoyed it

 

[Ranbay]

Ninja Cheerleaders, should i watch this or not ?

lol

 

[Sadken]

'sif that needs an answer. Watch the shit out of that, mother, Bob. Watch it good.

 

[foo]

Finding Sarah Marshall. i quite liked it - the main bloke was way better than Russell Brand who just played a toned down, over cautious version of himself.

who's the main actor? never seen him before.

 

[Orang Utan]

Jason Segel - he was the slimy mate in Knocked Up

I liked that film and I liked Russell Brand in it. I pretty much like anything Judd Apatow does.

 

[foo]

yeh, he was ok. just a bit watered down and well behaved. it's like you could tell he'd been told DO NOT AD LIB so he seemed a bit stilted imo.

do you know who the main actor is ken?

edit: ooops!

 

[Orang Utan]

His audition for the film is on YouTube and he's hilarious

 

[Orang Utan]

do you know who the main actor is ken?

Ahem

 

[foo]

Jason Segel - he was the slimy mate in Knocked Up

oh sorry, didn't see you there Clyde

haven't seen Knocked up - any good?
