What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

[Pickman's model]

Supposed to be. I really want to see it, but will wait until the blu is cheap enough. I think Carey Mulligan gets nekkid in it.

blue indeed then

 

[Orang Utan]

you do like your off-topick abuse.

And you only pop up to needle me. So fuck off as your work is done.

do you really think that a any real proportion of my posts have anything to do with you? you aren't that important you know.

Carey is indeed naked a lot of the time, but not necessarily in sexy ways.

Sorry. Thought True Grit was unspoilable, being a classic.
Better not tell you what happens at the end of Hamlet then

I know I'm rubbish. Never watched the original and not read the book.

I do know hamlet though, that's what an eng lit degree does for ya!

No, just your responses to my posts.
Ever since I told you I wasn't interested, you've been pettifogging at random posts of mine, even making digs at my personal situation. I was flattered but as I told you at the time, I just don't love you back.
If you can think beyond your infatuation for just one moment, it might give you pause that an ex-alcoholic ex-long term doley leftist like yourself would show a smidgen of solidarity with someone who is in a similar situation to the one you were once in (bar the alcoholism), personal feelings aside.

what has this got to do with the ending to 'true grit'? what the bloody fuck has that got to do with you being on the rock?

Nowt. I apologise for that comment, but please check yourself, fella. You can be very unpleasant.

I thought it was a load of faff about nothing really.

But Michael Fassbender is very pretty.

Yeh there were shades of American Psycho in there I thought....just finished it after watching half earlier. It were alright.

 

[Thimble Queen]

we watched you me and everyone we know... it was weird but I liked it... bits of it were quite heartwarming and it was quite funny but mostly it was a bit odd.

 

[yardbird]

I have found loads of the DVDs given away with papers in the past, should keep me going for a bit.
Just four
Shawshank Redemption,
Sympathy For The Devil
Paris Texas
Kind Hearts and Coronets
and many more that I'd forgotten about

This seems an odd time to be an abusive. It's just a minor difference of opinion on the way threads are used. I'm subscribed to both and enjoy reading them. I was just suggesting that it would make more sense to merge them cos they are both threads in which we discuss films we have watched recently.
A tenner IS expensive, waged or not.

I'd rather have it split between films (either at the cinema or on DVD) and TV series. They're different beasts and I've never liked the fact that TV series are discussed on this thread.

Das Boot, the near-4hr director's cut. Not bad at all, tho I wonder if it really needs to be quite THAT long.

I've always been pretty underwhelmed by Das Boot. It all seemed very by the numbers and rather unsubtle to me. The insertion of the Nazi into film to show that the rest of the crew are "good guys really" being a case in point.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

As part of Nanker Jnr's indoor Zombie film fest we watched Doghouse

Oh dear.

 

[Mapped]

Argo - Good stuff from Affleck, pretty tense in parts.

 

[thriller]

Django Unchained. It was OK. Not something I will revisit or purchase. OK as a one off thing.

 

[DexterTCN]

Disturbia. Someone recommended this to me a while ago....when I remember who the bastard was, I'll get them back.

It goes like this....30 minutes of the main character perving on some semi naked 16 year old, 1 minute of saying 'wait a minute...this is rear window!' then an hour of utter, utter crap.

Rear Window, it's not.

 

[Reno]

A South African film called Beauty about a middle aged, married, white Afrikaner stuck in the closet who develops an obsessive infatuation for one of his daughters male friends. Looks and sounds great, but its all a little precious and predictable.

Also my Blu-ray of Funny Face. After the punishing Les Miserables I needed to watch a musical with wit, charm and great tunes. Sure, the message is rather conservative, but it doesn't take itself very seriously, it's one of the most beautiful looking Technicolor films ever, Audrey Hepburn is at her cutest, the Gershwin score rocks and the fabulous Kay Thompson runs away with the film. Fred Astaire is good too, but he always looked a little old for the young things he got paired up with in the 50s.

Drive. A third-rate genre movie whose forty minutes' worth of plot are padded out by endless static, silent shots of nothing very much in an attempt to make it look like the there's something more going on here than a third rate genre movie.

 

[Mephitic]

Lincoln ~ twas not my cup of tea
Roller Town ~ erm... nooooo.

 

[Yetman]

Upside Down - Hmmm. Interesting plot, bit too much of a love story without much else in it though and a bit OTT on the CGI. Alright for a family film but not one I'd bother with again. 6/10

 

[Me76]

The Kid with a Bike.

Not quite sure why it was on my Lovefilm list. It must have got lots of stars from Empire.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

The Kid with a Bike was a great film. That and Le Havre were two of my faves from last year.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Just watched the first episode of Breaking Bad....so I guess I'm in for the long haul now.....

I also thought it was a great film.

 

[Orang Utan]

Me76 - did you like it?

 

[DaveCinzano]

I watched a doc called Mr Untouchable about Nicky Barnes and his superfly 70s Harlem heroin trade in the 70s....

It was entertaining and informative (and a bit cool!)

"...And he shitted on them..."

I'm a bit jealous, tbh.

Revel in Marie's love of purple. It's the only constant

 

[Virtual Blue]

Django Unchained - Loved the stressed look/ enriched look to this film. Plot-wise it's okay, thing with Tarratino is that he tells simple stories so damn well.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

"...And he shitted on them..."

This tends to happen....
