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

[DotCommunist]

Hunger Games: load of shit. Battle Royale beats it hands down.


Enders Game: much like the book its quite good but incredibly self important

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Dracula 2000. It starts off pretty good. Jerry Ryan [Seven of Nine] gets bitten in the bayou. Later on, she's part of the standard scene - three hot vampire chicks menacing the stalwart British vampire fighter [I think he's out of that MI5 show].

But she's the first to take a spike to the heart. I'd have kept her, and delivered the screen spike to the dark haired one. It's a personal preference; what can I say?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

p.s. those who crave intellectual validation: there's some guy out of the Wire in it.

 

[fishfinger]

The Pervert's Guide to Ideology. Interesting and entertaining.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I also watched Inspector Gently. The joy of social commentary with a grade B Foyle.

 

[DexterTCN]

Elysium. Disappointing. Lots of decent ideas but all a bit flat.

Are you sure?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Are you sure?

No. Am I wrong?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I checked. You're right. It was Scream 2 he was in. I always get those two mixed up.

I just wanted to say: I'm impressed by the amount of diligent Googling you must have performed in order to come up with the background for this post.

 

[Orang Utan]

I just went to IMDb!
I just find vagueness infuriating and have to find these things out myself.

Ha!

What reason would you have to find vagueness in a statement that an actor from The Wire was also in Dracula 2000?

Turns out it's wrong; but it's not vague.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Ha!

You sure you're a librarian and not a school marm?

I had a teacher you made a mistake like this, and she hit you across the knuckles with a yardstick.

Yes it is. You didn't say who it was.

I was saying ha! at your joke

Ok. I'm just used to getting the whip hand from you.

 

[not-bono-ever]

About Time.

jesus fucking christ.

 

[Tankus]

As for my own viewing pleasuere I enjoyed last night the first three episodes of HBO's True Detective. It's a lot lot better than the mismatched detective premise. The framing is interesting so far too. Harrelson plays himself but he's come a long way since his days behind the bar in cheers- he's a better actor than I think he gets credit for.

I was a bit "meh" for the first three episodes,but the fourth "samcro" episode points to a getting better,perhaps.

Captain Phillips. I couldn't get the subtitles to work so missed out on all of the Somalian dialogue, it did make me concentrate harder upon their expressions. I felt ambiguous as to who I supported throughout the flick, perhaps if i'd heard the pirates words it would have swung my sympathy one way or the other? There weren't really any likeable characters imo, still though, worth a watch.

 

[OneStrike]

Currently watching Prisoners, it's fecking grim as fuck so i'm posting this for respite. All misery so far.

Is that the steven seagal vampire film? Dying to watch that.

Nah, that's the Sydney Lumet film with Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke in it.
It's great! Though it has rather an unlikely sex scene featuring Hoffmann and Tomei

My mistake.

 

[Orang Utan]

Watch it!

 

[Belushi]

'The Arrival of Wang' low budget Italian sci-fi, quite enjoyable.

 

[stupid dogbot]

After Earth.

Yeah, look, it was on and I couldn't be bothered to choose something else.

It wasn't totally awful (ok, yes it was), but I have to know this. If "everything on this planet has evolved to kill humans", how come Jayden Fuckwit Smith could lie on the grass for so long, and climb trees? Eh?

Toss, basically.

 

[TruXta]

A couple of episodes of American Horror Story and 45 minutes of Iron Man 3. Started watching the last Thor movie but it got too silly, so turned it off after 10 minutes.
