Cry Baby.

I forgot how good it was, every line is class adn hammy to the max. Good to see Depp and Walters make the time to return for a little doc. Shame the bleeping was taken out, in a rule of three gag the third fuck was funnier when the other two were masked.

Mrs Suplex thought it was silly, it took her half way through the film to ask if it was a comedy.

I just bought this at the weekend, after years of wishing to see it again...pure smiles in DVD form.

Thought this was supposed to be a classic? It is absolutely fucking dreadful from start to finish. :mad: :(

Classic 'video nasty' and one that deserves the tag nasty-its dire explotative rubbish. :(

Superb film!

Yeah, I'm one of those that if I really like a film I can't resist watching it once every year or so.

I do that with stuff like Repo Man, Napoleon Dynamite, Ghostbusters, Dumb and Dumber, Spinal Tap, The Big Lebowski and US Marshalls starring Wesley Snipes.

Once you get over being impressed by the visuals, it's a piece of shit. Dire acting, dire script, dire dire dire.



We just watched The Princess Bride. Not bad, not a patch on the book and looked like a slightly over-budget TV movie but still an enjoyable 90 minutes. Didn't realise Andre The Giant was in it, which is a weird piece of synchronicity with my new Shepard Fairey book :)
 
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Now you must die" :)
I love that film and fancy the arse out of Robin Wright
 
She is quite pleasing ;)

And Inigo is a great character.. It is a good movie, it just lost a bit of the humour of the book which disappointed me. I mean, it's still pretty funny and knowing.

Watched the Taking of Pelham 123 - fucking genius 70s New York heist caper starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw if you've not seen.

Fucking class. Thats where Tarantino got his inspiration for the calling his Reservoir Dogs characters different colours. The music score is fucking boomtastic too. I think its done by David Shire. very sample friendly. :cool:
Fucking crying shame Robert Shaw only made so few films.

Completely agree with you, the book is much superior and not nearly well known enough (in Germany where I grew up it's much read and a bit of a cult novel). I recently tried to watch the film again, but it hasn't dated very well and it looks very dull and cheap now. Much of the cast was spot on though. Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest and Wallace Shawn are all much liked I imagined them in the novel.
 
All About My Mother - my first Almodovar :eek: :oops:
It has a warmth that is refreshing in these cynical times but it's contrived and over stylised (eg the scene at the place the tarts hang out was ridiculously well lit like an advert) - are all his films like this?

Deadwood Season 1 EP 4.

<spoiler edited out>

can't believe i still have 32 episodes of this utter genius to go :D :D

Maybe you could do those of us still on Episode 2 a favor, and not spoil the next 32 episodes as well. :mad:

Edit to add:

No problem. I wasn't especially mortified over the revelation. And i shouldn't have compounded the problem by quoting! :)

Pretty much its a bit of an Almodovar trademark, bright lighting and lots of colour. Gives it more of a theatrical feel.
 
Dubversion said:
oh shit, sorry. I just assumed everybody else had seen it. i'll edit if you do :)

I haven't. I'll be watching the first few episodes this week, so thanks for spoiling it for me:p

Star Wars episodes IV and V - ace! Somehow managed to miss these until now so have been watching them in 'order', roll on episode VI!

Good to hear you've started with IV and V. I know a few people who had never seen them before, watched I/II first, and were put off watching the originals...
 
More of the fucking excellent Deadwood series!!! It's class - me and Dub keep getting reminded of Glastonbury when they have scenes outside in the camp. It gives good screaming drunk :D
 
Miss Congeniality 2. Sandra looked really fabulous in her outfits but the film was a bit lame.
