No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
I'm loving Season 2, and the cast is frankly redonkuously good.
Didn't know about this - will give it a watch

Stupidly I can only watch the most current ep on my Virgin media so I have to catch up on my tablet which is just silly imo.
This was repeated on BBC4 again last night so I ended up watching it again until I drifted off.

He is the best thing about Lost in Translation but might not be enough to save it in your view.
Also
Fantastic Mr Fox (and loads of other Wes Anderson so it depends how much whimsy you can stand)
Zombieland
Rushmore

DotCommunist beware - I thought Murray was good in Rushmore (or at least in the bit I saw), but the teenage lead (presumably a proxy for Anderson himself) was so annoying I turned it off after 30 minutes.

The new Jurassic Park one. People in it annoying, dinosaurs in it ace. Dinosaurs eating annoying people = good. Dinosaurs not eating both annoying lead characters = not so good. Would've liked to see it in 3D - there were a few bits obviously designed to look good bursting out of the screen.

Just watched For No Good Reason which I really enjoyed.
Johnny Depp chatting to Ralph Steadman about his life and work. As much about Hunter S Thompson as Ralph, at times, and very interesting for it. Some funny footage of HST sweating profusely and looking totally fucked. Some less funny stuff that showed the complicated and sometime fractious relationship he had with Steadman. Seems they parted on sour terms which is sad as they were clearly very good friends at one point, if very different people. Good bit of William Burroughs shooting his paintings with a twelve bore, as was his wont, too. I also enjoyed watching Ralph splatter paint all over a canvas with no idea how it was going to pan out and turning it into a portrait of (possibly) a person going insane in a city. Good doc, well worth a watch.

- The Hunters / Jagarna (1996) - mad Swedish murder thriller which is basically Deliverance nordic style. Hero is a Stockholm copper who returns to his deep-north rural roots but finds his unstable brother is all in with a bunch of evil poaching redneck nogoodniks. Chaos ensues. Lots of very very macho men, elk, firearms and fisticuffs. Well OTT in many ways (they really lay it on with a shovel, the bad guys are not just violent but racist, rapists, drunken homophobes, who abuse puppies, Saami herds people and local 'slow' lads etc etc) but it's impressively blunt in tone. Utterly implausibly gorgeous blonde DA turns up to help but in the end it doesn't help - the rot goes too deep. If you like Scandinoir (or even Blood Simple, tho it's not that good) this will do you nicely.

Still a better movie than Chinatown, though.

False Trail aka Jagarna 2 (2011) - sequel to the mad Swedish film above. Things are still grim up North in Sweden as our hero gets dragged back into the woods for another murder hunt. Bleaker and more po-faced than the earlier one, still classy and worthwhile but lacking the streak of berserk comedy in the first instalment. More low-key and naturalistic all round. And it stars this guy, who I had honestly never ever even suspected of being Swedish ever, I thought he was a strictly US product!
