What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

got round to Sympathy For Mr Vengeance and almost wished i hadn't.

up there with Dead Man's Shoes for brilliantly realised unremitting anguish.

Wahh, don't be like that. SFMV is a comedy, a very dark comedy but it's still funny.

 

[Skim]

Finished watching Pleasantville last night... very enjoyable

 

[extra dry]

Inside, movie about a prison, I say it is ok score about a 3 out of five.

 

[jrj2020]

The Producers - brilliantly made and very funny

 

[souljacker]

The Aviator.

Scorsese, what the fuck was the point in that?

 

[jeff_leigh]

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance - finally got round to completing the trilogy, well impressed

 

[mwgdrwg]

Family Guy Season 4

The episode with Chris in the A-Ha "Take on me" video...quality.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

King Kong -
Noncence, just a series of one show off set piece after another. Not bad for what it is I suppose.

40 year old virgin
Crap throwaway comedy, strangley touching in places. Not abd for what it is I suppose.

Nana
Lame cartoonlike tale of two unlikey friends bond. The regular over dramatic japanese acting was a little grating but . . . . Not bad for what it is I suppose.

A cock and bull story
Felt a bit like a period 24 hour party people. Creative and interesting but not big on laughs. Not bad for what is I suppose.

 

[jodal]

Soprano's Season 5
eps 1 and 2

Steve Buscemi...

 

[jeff_leigh]

Bad Boys 2 - utter crap Will Smith plays Will Smith

 

[muser]

Fix up, look sharp

Watched solaris and the beat that my heart skipped, both are very good.

 

[purves grundy]

Good Night, and Good Luck

Pretty good, very interesting footage. I expected it to climax with a real showdown, but I suppose he had to follow the historical record - no showdown, just a crappy McCarthy retort. Not as gripping as I'd hoped.

 

[CharlieAddict]

tony takitani
- minimal movie on lonliness, death, rebirth and lonliness again. fantastic.

 

[purves grundy]

Stan Kubrick's 'Knife In The Water'

 

[Reno]

Stan Kubrick's 'Knife In The Water'

That one would be by Polanski and a great film it is.



I tried to watch Thumbsucker last night, but fell asleep. I think I've seen just one too many US indie films about sensitive, oddball teenagers living in suburbia with the rather underwhelming message that it's OK to be different. If anything interesting or unpredictable happens in the second half, let me know and I may watch it to the end.

that's the last time I try to be clever by trying to put a directors name to a film

 

[Jo/Joe]

First couple of episodes of Deadwood, series 1. Very good and absorbing. Love the liberal use of the word 'cunt', feeding a corpse to pigs, etc.

 

[milesy]

girls aloud - "what will the neighbours say?" - live at hammersmith apollo.

 

[Dubversion]

some episodes from the first series of Curb Your Enthusiasm

 

[jeff_leigh]

Dead Mans Shoes - fucking excellent movie

 

[CharlieAddict]

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Atomic - have you watched Vital yet?

one of the finest movies ever, so badly panned on release Laughton never directed another movie..

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Atomic - have you watched Vital yet?

No it's still on my bedroom floor. I have bought sex is zero and female yakuza (sex and fury as exellent, so I wanted more) since and have not got round to any.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I have bought sex is zero and female yakuza (sex and fury as exellent, so I wanted more) since and have not got round to any.

Oh right

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh right

Don't get confused, despite the titles none of them are sex films.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Don't get confused, despite the titles none of them are sex films.

but where does fury come into it?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

but where does fury come into it?

Well it's just your average pinky violence revenge movie (but better than average).
60s/70s Japanese movies that tried to get men into the cinemas on a promise of titillation and extreme violence (quite low on titillation and not violent at all by today's standards) and women in because of the strong female roles (which I think the guys liked anyway).

Or if you are asking what lady yakusa has to do with sex and fury - it's another pinky Violence film with the same lead actress. I think it might even be a sequel.

I see. I don't think I'll be getting any of them though

I highly recomend Sex and Fury it's very cinematic. It is a bit laughable too but cool, really cool. Great music too!
