House Of Cards (Netlix version) again. These episode just don't get old for me. The Ian Richardson version was good and had to exist so this one can stand on its shoulders, but this one is so well made.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

Totally ace documentary about people's interpretations of The Shining. Probably not of much interest if you don't like the film / Stanley Kubrick but I thought it was brilliant. Some of the theories range from vaguely convincing (there's a subtext about the genocide of Native American Indians) to utterly barking (the film is Stanley Kubrick's confession to hoaxing the moon landings). Fittingly, this film is about a lot more than Jack Nicholson chasing Danny round with an axe but I can't really go into that atm as the spoiler code's not working.

Surely you can spoiler a classic?

True Grit.
Not bad - I don't think the Coen brothers could do anything really terrible - but really it's just a glorified Mary-Sue story. I was surprised at Matt Damon though, surprised by how good he was as the Texas Ranger.
The landscape of the American west also played a key role.

Nah. I wanted to discuss what this film is about, not The Shining. Can't do it without giving too much away really.

Margin Call. Made for peanuts in a few weeks but with a great cast. Paul Bethany, Stanley Tucci, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Zachary Quinto. Blood on the floor (not literally) as trading firm finds out they're in deep shit and trading at a loss.

Shit! Just found the TED talks on Netflix! That's me locked to the couch for about 100x20minute intervals...
Also, I watched this:
Excellent stuff. Great how the guy totally doesnt want to know but still does everything necessary to try and understand why he's suddenly started seeing spirits and angels and weird shit coming out of the sky.

Noticing Crispy 's thread about the resurrection of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, I started to think of this other french animation series which i love even more-
This is the series that defined my childhood- summer holiday mornings, alien french with subtitles, awsome storylines about a many-layered multiverse inside the earth... different stratas resembling ancient cultures, an intelligent talking spaceship, children of a dying sun creating an AI messenger, discordian pirates swooping between the stratas trying to mess things up and capture our heroes (and always bursting into extremely catchy songs), every episode presented a different alien world-culture which featured some sort of oppression or social problem which the main characters tried to solve...
Imagery and scenarios are often reminiscent of Moebius, but instead of outsourcing the production to japan etc. the producers decided to keep it french, and therefore some of the animation is a bit sub par compared to japanese anime of the same period- This however doesn't distract from the sheer brilliance of the world-building, episode scenarios, memorable cultures and characters you come across in this series... I have never seen anything like it before or since. After watching this, we felt everything was possible.

Hawkes grossly underused? you must be joking. he's been telly and film's go-to creepy psycho backwoodsman for years now. Agree with you about his talent and Winter's Bone as a film tho. (btw if you like Hawkes he's never been better than in Martha Macy May Marlene IMHO. truly spine chilling.

Exasperated, not angry.
He's mainly used in shit tho - MMMM, Winters Bone, and the wonderful Me & You & Everyone We know excepted for film, and Deadwood & Eastbound & Down on TV. That isnt that much, is it?

why should i? that's what trailers are for.
i have absolutely no compulsion to believe that anyone's claim to being a receptacle for the fantastical is nothing more than self regarding horseshit, and for that reason,i'm out.
/i imagine this is what poor old Joseph Smith went through.
