Pierrepoint-about last hangman in Britain-thought it utterly compelling disturbing viewing. Made me 100% anti death penalty as well.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

a weird but kind of inspiring history teacher I had when i was about 10 or 11 loaned me Pierrepoint's autobiography to read one summer. (i guess with hindsight he must have been a pink liberal commie faggot

Just finished reading The Executioner, an autobiography of a hangman in the nineteenth century and felt sick after reading it-brilliant book though. Can't even wear a tight necklace atm after such a surfeit of hangingDubversion said:a weird but kind of inspiring history teacher I had when i was about 10 or 11 loaned me Pierrepoint's autobiography to read one summer.

Das Leben der Anderen (the life of others). Bought it when I was staying with some friends in Berlin. A truly excellent film. I think it comes out here next month. I wouldn't mind seeing it again with subtitles as I'm sure I only got about 80% of it in German.
downloaded that last night, will watch it later

Watched 'One Upon A Time In The West'.
Skull crushingly good - the cinematography, the score, the acting.
"What's he doing out there? What's he waiting for?"
"He's whittling on a stick. I guess when he stops whittling, something's gonna happen."

It's beautiful! As the film began I wondered if I could be arsed to sit through 2-and-a-bit hours but it really sucked me in.
Might watch One Upon A Time In America tonight, as a companion piece of sorts.
Punch Drunk Love
Why? I can't remember the rationale behind putting this on my list. It tried sooo hard to be clever, but was just irritating. And ffs! Why did I not know it had Adam Bastard Sandler in it?!
The best thing about it was when Philip Seymour Hoffman's character did that big sweary thing down the phone

I like those pointless colourful bits in it too, even though they're really really wanky

Saw Hidden last night and The World's Fastest Indian tonight.
Hidden was intriguing, but the lack of an ending left me feeling it was a bit of a waste of time. I enjoyed it while it was on and interested in the characters and wanting to find out what was going to happen and then nothing did.
I suppose it worked, as it made me want to read up on it more (including the 2 threads on here) and find out more about France and Algeria but for a film to focus mainly on one story (with interesting subtexts) and then end as if to say that the story focused on was irrelevant just seems silly.
It's like watching films that I have taped off the telly only to find that the end is missing
World's Fastest Indian doesn't appear to have been mentioned on these boards, but it was an excellent performance by Anthony Hopkins and a very enjoyable story about a strange old man.

Oooh, do it, it's amazing. I went to the cinema to see it and was really quite worried because it's so long, but by the time the interval came around I didn't want it to stop!
