What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[RockandorRoll]

Apocalypse now.. which is indeed ace. Was a bit unexpected though, went round to mates room, drinking/smoking + listening to music, then all of a sudden "hey watch this!" wasn't quite a fitting film for the moment, but from what i got, dam good ..

Will have to borrow and appreciate by myself one night

 

[Phenol]

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Classic british cinema.
You just couldn't recreate that late 50s feel. You can almost smell the smokey pubs and oiley factories!

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

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...

Sadly not, I started at episode I but I'm enjoying these originals more!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Land or the dead.


Bollocks. Romero has lost it.

Mind you he never had it before dawn of the dead and he lost it somewhere between that and day of the dead in the 80s.

 

[elevendayempire]

Frantically watching Battlestar Galactica season 2 (you know why, Mr Suplex...). Only 4 episodes to go!

For you, dear, anything.

You do realise that this exchange looks mighty dubious to the vast majority of posters who have no idea what we're on about?

I can't freaking wait. I'm sticking it on my website.

,,

this Carnivale business, the entire first season on DVD, borrowed after lenghty persuasion attempts loosely involving emotional blackmail, pointing out that he owed me money and i'd be willing to ignore this if he did me a few favours such as borrowing me this exciting-looking series...anyway, it all ended well and now i find myself sitting here with the DVD box in my hand...only to find out that my bloody DVD player has given up its last life breath and spite me by refusing to work... !

but come what may, this series sounds like it's been made to please me, it's got everything i want from a dramatical production:
...the 1930's!! ...bizarre circuses! ...dwarfs!! ...strange mysteries!!

it almost inevitably follows that murphy's law will kick in to prevent me from enjoying this- by making it less good than my expectation would dream up...
hrmm...

 

[Orang Utan]

Deadwood Season 1 EP 4.

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

Have just seen the first two and by god it's good.
Wiki Deadwood - it's a real place and still a sinful town!
The real Seth Bullock:

 

[Dubversion]

Watched episode 7 last night. Not sure I've ever seen TV like this, the scripting is unbelievable, there's not a weak character / actor to be seen. It's funny as fuck, tragic as all hell.. Just unsurpassed.

 

[Orang Utan]

Fuckin' cocksucking sonofabitch!

 

[belboid]

Did you ever read Charlie Brooker on Deadwood? Marvellous stuff it was, well worth going back to read if you haven't done already.

I'll have a google..

 

[Pieface]

I love Calamity Jane and want to climb into Bullocks longjohns. Then I want Sol and Charlie to be my best friends.

But I think I like Lovejoy the best

 

[sojourner]

Little Voice

God how awful. Brenda Blethyn wants killing in the face for what has got to be the single most crap representation of a northern woman I almost switched it off after 10 mins cos of her

I love Jane Horrocks, and thought Jim Broadbent was good in it, but they saved the film between them.

 

[Orang Utan]

I hate that film

 

[CharlieAddict]

half of 'a history of violence.'

couldn't finish it.
and it's not a bad film.
just not interesting enough.

 

[Elektra]

Here's one I made yesterday.

Grudge Lonely Heart

 

[Reno]

Just watched A Sound of Thunder, based on the famous Ray Bradbury time travel story which I reread many times as a kid. It's a film so jaw droppingly awful that it is almost worth seeing, a real "what were they thinking, oh hold on they weren't" experience. The special effects are terrible, Ben Kingsley gets to make a fool of himself in a white pompadour wig, the science is hilarious and the whole thing is so endearingly misguided that it becomes almost sublime in its sheer awfulness.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Count Yorga, Vampire.

 

[Jim2k5]

just watched John Tucker Must Die was a amsuing hour and a half but predictable ending and predictable story line, just your thing if you enjoy your teenage flicks.

Make sure you watch the Redux version-get some great green in and watch on a great TV with cracking surround sound.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

First half of hostel.

I think it's going to be a one watch wonder, i'm looking forward to a bit of gore but I don't like it when the ladies bite the dust.

 

[Dubversion]

erm..

Deadwood.

(this might be all I post on this thread for a couple of weeks )

Boring

It is isn't it? All Michael Mann's films are dull. Even the epic gun battle in Heat is boring - it takes some skill to make shooting things up boring.

 

[etnea]

erm..

Deadwood.

(this might be all I post on this thread for a couple of weeks )

We watched Deadwood obsessively over the summer - totally brilliant viewing. Calamity Jane is the coolest
Myself I watched the last couple of episodes of "The Lakes" last night. Pretty good really.

I thought Collateral rocked, though.

No - that was boring and empty too, like the rest
