Fargo, for about the fifth time.

I never get sick of that movie.

Thats because its fucking a work of art :) as is the other great great film by the coen brothers...The Big Lebowski.
 
watched Dylan Moran's Monster - lovely stuff.

And then - finally - episode 1 of the Wire. Slow start, but i can already tell i'm going to get hooked :)

49 episodes to go :)

Nacho Libre. Think 'Napoleon Dynamite' in Mexico.


Except not in the slightest bit funny. In fact, nothing like Napoleon Dynamite - whatever Hess had to make ND so quirky and charming, he'd lost by the time he made Nacho Libre, which has two jokes - Black in a unitard and hairy wrestling dwarves




We've just watched Sex & Lucia. Heard great things but in the end I don't buy it. It didn't know whether it wanted to be a convoluted campy Almodovar movie or some clever French metatextual thing. So it just twatted around in the middle

Libre might have been better received if it was first. Also, ND had an unknown in the lead, so there were no expectations coming in.

I disagree that it wasn't funny; maybe it was my mood last night. Also, the soundtrack had some songs I liked, including the instrumental playing while the contestants for the fight with Ramses are introduced, along with their stats.

Ah, the music was OK. It wasn't a SHIT film, it was quite charming. But it wasn't funny and it wasn't a patch on ND..

Maybe charming is a better word. Although the kid at the beginning, fighting air, then lying down on the crypt, only to be cleansed by the monks, had a chuckle or two in it.

I thought Sex & Lucia was a very very saucy film.

The first, what, 20 minutes are quite interestingly saucy (actually the first 3-4 minutes are about the worst start to a film i've ever seen but nevermind). But after the sexy stopped, the melodramatic started.

Lotsa fun to be had watching the trailers for Medem's other movies - hysterical stuff.

"You are like my kidneys, my bones"
"I love with you with my entrails"
"What colour are they?"
"I can't remember my eyes"

COWS



etc.
 
Bombom El Perro - sweet road movie set in Patagonia with nice man and impotent dog - stunning scenery
March Of The Penguins - more stunning photography and great scenes of penguins being penguins - it would have worked without any narration at all - just pics and music - but the avuncular tones of Morgan Freeman with a twee script ruined it - 'this is a story about love' - is it fuck! It's about nature, red in tooth and claw
 
this thread should be a sticky. soor it oowut.

That said.

Delicatesen - reminded me a bit of brazil. nonetheless a good film
The candidate - Brilliant film. idealogical lawyer runs for the senate, in a campaign he is destined to lose.
 
I watched the putrid drivel which is World Trade Center:

Rezello...Rodrigues....we gotta lotta good people here...holy shit!.... I'm just doin my job ma'am...get to the elevator shaft!...we grew up together...I don't know if you guys know this yet, but this country's at war... go see the Yankee playoffs....New York's finest... United States' Marines, if you can hear me yell or tap...Marine KBAR - best knife ever made...they're gonna need some good men to avenge this...

The other night I watched Factotum - Bukowski deserves better than that, imo
 
Silent Hill, partner loved it but I was a bit bored by the end. Very odd, although to be honest I've never played the game so maybe that would help,
 
Don't know if this counts, but I'm about to watch (Mel Brooks') High Anxiety on Film4+1.

Not seen it in years, and I'm a bit worried I might not find it funny now... :oops: :)

And there's a VERY nasty part in it :eek:
 
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.

absolutely hysterical. I mean, you end up warming to Hetfield in the end, and the new bassist was a genius. but jesus - there's nothing funnier than watching really fucking dumb people playing at psychobabble or talking in tortuous analogies.

"you put it on the table, but you're.. you're gonna have to leave it on the table. Because that table is fucking Metallica, man".

"there shouldn't be a rule for no solos. But there also shouldn't be a rule, y'know, FOR solos".

fucking idiots :D
