First couple of episodes of season 2 of Game of Thrones.
Getting a bit obsessed about it at the moment, to the point where I'm developing a man-crush on a couple of characters. But that's ok. One is serving on Night's Watch in the North and the other is in exile at Essos . . . so they never need to know about each other.

I had to trek over to urban dictionary to secure a translation.

Interesting. I didn't know that.
I just thought it was a bit of a cop out as Tarrentino obviously liked the title, but then couldn't go full steam ahead and use it.

I watched that recently and it just didn't do it for me anymore.

No - the last part of Pablo Larraín's Pinochet trilogy (the others being Tony Manero and Post Mortem - both great). This is the most 'normal' of the three and one (despite some choices that may seem odd at first look being made - 4:3 aspect ratio, grainy analog video) and one that looks out to wider society rather than concentrating on how pinochet's society warped individuals. Film hinges on the referendum on removing Pinochet in 1988. Almost totally successful film and a def recommend. (Tony Manero is the best of the three for me though).

The Rum Diary. Opening titles seemed familiar as did some of the supporting cast. Got about a third of the way through before remembering I'd already seen it and didn't think much of it. Once my expectations had been lowered like this, I think I enjoyed it more this time round. I might forget about it entirely and watch it again in a few years and declare it a work of genius.

I'm getting to see a lot of these with my daughter who hasn't seen them before.

You don't like The Thing, though, so I can safely ignore your opinion on fillums

I did like the thing, but when you have seen it loads of times and you have memories of it that have elevated far beyond it's actual status, it's not as great to watch again.You don't like The Thing, though, so I can safely ignore your opinion on fillums
When the shock moments do not surprise, and there is no suspense there is not much left.

Exasperated, not angry.
I know it's unusual, but he is right about Submarine. Considine is as enjoyable as ever (I'm sure he is channeling Julian Cope during his sermons) but otherwise, it's box ticking generics.You don't like The Thing, though, so I can safely ignore your opinion on fillums

Well, I'm not gonna defend it to the death or anything. I just thought it was a nice little film. I'm not going to be putting it in my top 10 films lists or anything.
Ending up watching Super 8 earlier as well, and felt the same about that. Fun, watchable film, but won't be gracing my lists either.

...cinematography, atmosphere, music score, acting ? I can re-watch good films endlessly, even when I know what happens. I enjoy re-entering the world a favourite film takes place in.
The Thing is a good film, I begrudgingly enjoyed the remake too. It wasn't as good but it didn't stop me from enjoying it any. A film I can watch time and time again and still be in awe of it's OST, and visuals is Sunshine. One of my all time favourite films.
In fact the OST for Sunshine is probably my favourite score of all time and I love it when I hear it used in other films, TV programmes and such. I should buy it really buy it really.

I found the remake to be a pointless uninspiring re-tread with none of the 80s ness which made the original. And the spaceship bit on the end was just poor.

I doubt you're going to think it's great tbh. I quite like Johnny Depp's version of Hunter S in the film of 'Fear And Loathing'. He hams it up a bit and plays for laughs but they're worth it. In this one, despite him supposedly being pretty pissed for half the movie, it's nowhere near as riotous and it doesn't really make much of a point other than 'this was the birth of a great writer'. I dunno, it's OK, there are a few giggles and that but that's it. I just thought that the director of 'Withnail & I' could've done a lot more with it. It's not shit but it's not brilliant either.

I know what you mean, and I re-watch many films endlessly, but for some reason the thing just didn't work for me anymore.
The 80s film is not the original. And although I haven't seen it, the 2011 version is apparently a prequel to the 80s remake not a remake of the remake.

Lucio Fulci's Four of the Apocalypse. Brutal, brilliant and nuts.

the original isn't all that. I've a lot of time for the Caprenter version tho- and the 2011 prequel felt like a remake. The one variation that worked was the way the xenomorph was unable to replicate metal things- fillings, leg pins and plates etc. And thats how they rumble it
