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

[Orang Utan]

Much tit action in his films?

More muscle mary moobs than tits.
And flying silver orbs drilling people's foreheads.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

You weren't supposed to answer that.
I am way too deep for your simpleton mindset.
That's as deep as a puddle.

You're the one asking about tit action like some sort of compulsive mouthbreathing fap artist - is that what qualifies you for deepness? Or was that just an awkward failed attempt at humour?

 

[Orang Utan]

It was just inevitable after that initial mix up.
It was impossible for it to be any other way.

 

[Orang Utan]

By Jupiter's cock, you are dense.

 

[ymu]

By Jupiter's cock, you are dense.

I think 'hypocritical' and 'creepy' are the adjectives you're looking for.

 

[Part 2]

Zero Dark Thirty. Boring.

 

[starfish]

Just watched Ice Age 4 with our 3 nieces. It was pretty good, had some good jokes & set pieces & they seemed to enjoy it.

 

[DexterTCN]

By Jupiter's cock, you are dense.

He spreads cheeks and FUCKS me up the arse again!

(assuming we're doing john hannah)

 

[DJ Squelch]

Just watched Stephen Frears 1984 film "The Hit" - John Hurt & Tim Roth as a couple of hitmen driving Terence Stamp from Spain to Paris to pay for grassing on his bank robber colleagues. Excellent script, great acting, beautifully shot & a nice Eric Clapton soundtrack too, not sure why I'd never heard of it before, it should be a British classic. Brilliant film

It's good isn't it. I saw it (with a kid) in the cinema and I was pleasantly surprised.

 

[DotCommunist]

I love all the Ice Age films. For the Squirrel and his nut

 

[Idris2002]

Django 2

Franco Nero stars in this one, which I suppose makes it the "official" sequel to the first Django movie.

They're called exploitation films for a reason.

Videodrome.

The best thing about this one isn't actually in the movie. When James Woods said that he felt like he'd been "reduced to being the bearer of the slit", Debbie Harry replied, "ha, now you know how it feels".

I'd like to have seen what Buneul could have done with Videodrome, or indeed with Django 2.

I doubt that the subject matter of Videodrome or Django 2 would have interested Bunuel.

 

[Idris2002]

OK, not Django 2 probably, but doesn't Videodrome deal with issues of reality and fantasy in ways that could have been dealt with in a Buneuelesque fashion? I defer as always to your superior knowledge of film history.

Bunuel was more interested in satirising the hypocrisy of bourgeois morality and organised religion especially the Catholic church. Surrealism was always just a tool rather than an end in itself and applied rather more subtly. The moments of visceral horror of his first film Un Chien Andalou is more down to co-director Dali. In Videodrome there is a solid sci-fi explanation for these shifts in reality, which makes it not a surrealist film at all.

If you fancy a surrealist Western, check out El Topo by Jodorowsky.

Yes, Django strikes back is the only official sequel. Stars Nero, scripted by Corbucci. I've never bothered to watch it......I will one day.

 

[Silverghost]

Resident Evil 5 and Cloud Atlas, as well as the last bit of Michel Gondry's 'The Green Hornet' which was playing out in the hall at this backpackers..

 

[Part 2]

Beasts of the Southern Wild. Not sure I quite got it but I enjoyed watching it. I'd watch it again anyway.

 

[r0bb0]

REC , a low budget Spanish zombie film - really enjoyed it.

[TruXta]

Argo, better than I expected. Nice to see a Hollywood production that's not all sparkle and glitter.

 

[avu9lives]

Klute (1971) god it made a big immpression on me when a were a kid. Jane Fonda fer a start especially her bare back, nipples the size of bullets, the fact she was an hooker, and smoked pot. jeeze she were proper wankin tackle fer a sensitive shy pubescent teen like meself.... Trouble is it just makes me nod off now its that bloody quiet at times. Still a great 70s film though.,/;.;

 

[Orang Utan]

I think we all know now who Will Self is on Urban75

 

[Part 2]

Defendor. It's a long time since I've turned a film of before the end but this broke me. Dull.

 

[butchersapron]

P2, Vatican corruption, suicide under Blackfriars bridge, mafia, fascists etc - all that and more in Giuseppe Ferrara's The Bankers of God: The Calvi Affair - problem is that he just dumps so much info and plot on you that unless you have a good handle on post-war italian history, political history especially, you may feel that you're drowning. The film is well worth watching despite that.

 

[Part 2]

Oh, you remind me butch, I watched Seven Psychopaths the other night. Thought it was ace. Christopher Walken especially, as good as his Pulp Fiction part I thought.

I'm surprised at how little buzz there is/has been around it tbh considering whose in it and who made it.

Media too pre-occupied with Django maybe?

 

[butchersapron]

Quite possible yes.

 

[Reno]

I had a friend round for a movie all nighter and we watched Martha Marcy May Marlene, In Bruges and Les Aventuriers, all films I like with the last one a top ten fave.

Is it not something to do with every other review saying the film's a steaming pile of horseshit?

I'm planning (depending on when the tennis finishes) on doing a double bill of that & Django this afternoon
