What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[ada]

Black Narcissus. It was entirly gorgeous to look at, and really very good. Though be warned it's terribly melodramatic and stylised - presumably partly because of when it was made (released in 1947). About nuns setting up a monastry in the Himalayas, and their 'repressed yearnings' (as one review had it).

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

An Audience With Kevin Smith.. occasionally very funny, but fuck me the audience were idiots, and Smith is a bit of a fratboy

I went to what I thought was a press screening of Jersey Girl that turned out to be front row tickets to smith talking for hours and hours. I was amazed to find it was fairly entertaining but after about three hours I began to get worried about getting a bus home. Mrs Suplex and I made what I thought was a discrete exit (if you can do that from a meter in front of smith) anyway I was pretty sure I could hear him badmouthing me as I left.

The place was packed and he was already overrunning by something like a hour, did nobody else have to get home?

Much better than the DVD as it didn't have the US frat fan boys whooping all over it.

A Room For Romeo Brass.
I *heart* Paddy Considine

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I *heart* Paddy Considine

My ex neighbours were mates of his, he would come round and stuff (so they tell me but I never saw him).

They were also ex top UK 10 ballroom dancing champions, not that you would think it to look at them. Hippies.

 

[bellator]

The Reflecting Skin, outstanding film but very depressing.

last night i watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. it was fucking hillarious, the state i was in may have helped though, and tonight im getting ready to watch Waist Deep. ill let you all know how it is

ddint watch waist deep, watched Stormbreaker instead, it was amusing.

 

[Phenol]

Great script, well made, basically good film. AND Lucy Liu (dribble).

I didn't make it past the first half hour

 

[Moggy]

I didn't make it past the first half hour

Why's that?

 

[purves grundy]

Why's that?

I just found it tedious. Maybe I should've given it more time.

 

[Moggy]

I just thought it was really nice, probably not for everyone though.

 

[CharlieAddict]

the vanishing (1988/french).

loved it. better than the american version.

 

[Dubversion]

the vanishing (1988/french).

loved it. better than the american version.

i thought it was Dutch? but yet, MUCH better than the US version. a genuinely harrowing film, probably upset me more than anything i've ever seen. the end just goes on tooooooo long

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

The Legend of 1900 with Tim Roth.

Excellent film

Agreed, I thought it was brilliant, one of the most underrated films ever.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yeah, the Vanishing was Dutch.

I watched the bloody remake first though, which ruined the original for me.

 

[CharlieAddict]

Yeah, the Vanishing was Dutch.

I watched the bloody remake first though, which ruined the original for me.

same here.
i thought the vanishing was french production based on a dutch short story. the americans utterly destroyed the ending!!!!

...a genuinely harrowing film, probably upset me more than anything i've ever seen. the end just goes on tooooooo long

i was pondering on the final scenes all night.
was the ending that upsetting? (SPOILER ALERT) cos rex was seeking closure on what happened to his partner, in that he knew he was going to die if he drank the coffee. i mean all through the narrative, the theme of pre-destiny kept coming up and the socio-path helped him to fulfill his dream of the 'golden egg.'

I watched Brick for the second time in a week last night.

Didn't mind it the first time, except for really having a hard time understanding what they were saying alot of the time, but it actually really annoyed me the second and just thought it was bad film trying to be dark and cool and not really achieving either.

 

[Jim2k5]

yet you watched it twice in a week? fair enough

just watched O Brother, Where Are Thou on film four, great movie, a classic in my eyes.

 

[spacemonkey]

Agreed... Series 5 is better though!

I've only got 1-4 on dvd.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've only got 1-4 on dvd.

You can get 5/6 on torrents

[Red Horse]

yeah thought that was pretty good, when u get the full picture its a bit biatch

 

[Red Horse]

just watched 'down by law' by jim jarmusch which i thought was a bit over stylized, Bob Begnini was very good tho. am watching 'Conan the barbarian' for nostalgias sake, but with all things from my childhood ive revisited, realised it a bit crap really

 

[Bomber]

Well tonight anyway I'm tucking in to my season 1 box set of 'Spooks' that I just got from the HMV sale Then maybe Belle Vue Rendezvous which I got free in the papers a week or so ago !!
