Really didn't get much out of this - was looking forward to it too!

I actually got bored and turned it off about an 1hr and 10 in.

I think maybe I have gone off watching relentlessly grim and harrowing films whose sole purpose seems to be as relentlessly grim and harrowing as possible.

Perhaps there was a point and I missed it.

Not sure I could ever watch Nil By Mouth again either.

Oddly enough, it (Ghost of the Civil Dead) has been available here in Dubai (of all places) in special edition format for ages.

:confused:


Bad Boy Bubby is :cool: though.
 
currently working my way through series 3 of peep show on dvd, its amazing, so funny and i think could possibly be funnier than the first two series, so many laugh out loud moments, only one more episode to go though :(

This is good to hear, my copy arrived this morning :p I'll ration myself to an episode a week, usually pretty good at that. Reckon this could be the last series as the ratings weren't half as good as they were expecting :(
 
Been doing a Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig megathon over the past couple of days...
Just finished Disc 6...
(Still think that the Tachikoma Day's sequel is the best bit though...).

peep show is pretty fucking funny, i particularly liked the Enya funeral scenario. Watched 'The wind that shakes the barley' very enlightening, showed it to a group of Chinese students, the new-found disdain for the British was palpable
 
fniished peep show, i hope they dont make anothe rseries as it does end on a high in my opinion and i really dont understand why the ratings wheren't as good as the first two series, but oh well.

The Machinist which i enjoyed Christian Bale goes way over and beyond the call of duty. If you liked Memento then u'll like this.
 
March of the Penguins.

Great nature film. I can't imagine the logistics of trying to film in Antarctica.
 
Hard Candy

Ouch!



I really liked this, thought Ellen Page was excellent in it. One scene really got my attention - but I shan't spoil it. And it's not the one you're thinking of, in case you've already seen it! :p (preventative maintenance)
 
I'm such and idiot. I bought revenge of the sith to compleate my collection.

Utter utter shit, but I knew that already. In the words of darth vader 'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'.

Screw the younglings, they should have been in a better film.

Fuck yeah!

Watched it a few weeks back without any kind of prior knowledge of anything about it. What a lovely dark little film it turned out to be :D

:D

I had a little knowledge of the basic premise - but it was far more subtle and intricate than I thought it would be. I really loved a lot of the scenes, some crackin camerawork and direction.
 
...is that a wax dummy, on the right? ^^
creepy.

Back on thread-topic, erm...
i did manage to watch the first two episodes of Twin Peaks last night, before falling asleep with the volume on- loud, apparently...this last fact revealed itself when i awoke from loud banging noises and "SHUT UP THAT TV NOW, YOU F***IN' COW!" circa 3 am...

nah, creepy is definately the appropriate description....

Aside from Deadwood, Deadwood and more Deadwood, I watched Vincent Price in Theater of Blood. Very strange, very camp and had an amazing roll call of Brit actors.

Price plays an embittered actor murdering his critics in Shakesperean scenarios....

Deaths
George Maxwell: stabbed, slashed to ribbons and hacked to death by an army of homeless people. (Modeled after Julius Caesar)
Hector Snipe: impaled in the chest with a spear by Lionheart after hearing the words and then dragged (Hector in Troilus and Cressida)
Horace Sprout: head sawn off while in bed by Lionheart. (Cloten in Cymbeline)
Trevor Dickman: heart cut out whilst still alive. (the death Antonio in The Merchant of Venice is saved from)
Oliver Larding: drowned in a barrel of red wine. (Clarence in Richard III)
Maisie Psaltery: smothered with a pillow by her own husband. (Desdemona in Othello)
Ms. Chloe Moon: electrocuted with hair curlers (The burning of Joan of Arc in Henry VI, Part One.
Meredith Meredew: choked to death on a pie made from his dogs (Tamora in Titus Andronicus)
Sgt. Dogge: run over by a train while he is radioing Insp. Boot for help.
Edwina Lionheart: skull cracked by an award trophy.
Edward Lionheart: burnt and then fell off the roof of the theatre taking his dead daughter with him. (King Lear).

It is crazy. :D
