What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Orang Utan]

we're busy people, innit?

You have to make time for The Wire!

 

[May Kasahara]

Oh indeed

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh indeed

I feel I have to question Dub's commitment to the greatest show on television - we should take it away from him as he is obviously not worthy enough to be allowed to see it.

 

[Dubversion]

the counter-argument is that something so good needs to be appreciated over time rather than guzzled down. A fine vintage rather than supermarket plonk.

But you two are fucking philistines so you wouldn't appreciate that

 

[baldrick]

a pirate of spiderman 3. it was terrible cheesy nonsense interspersed with special effects and the picture quality was appalling. i went to bed before an hour was up. boring

 

[fear-n-loathing]

The Hunted with del torro in it, absolute rubbish turned it off after half an hour

 

[heartof gold]

the break up.

 

[May Kasahara]

But you two are fucking philistines so you wouldn't appreciate that

I was going to craft a witty and unimpeachable proof that this is not so, but then I noticed a review of the special edition DVD release of Summer School on The Onion and decided instead to spend a blissful 30 minutes or so renewing my acquaintance.

True story.

If the civilised world ended tomorrow, at least me and May will have watched seasons 1-3 of The Wire - we'd have that much more to talk about, before the conversation runs out and we all attack each other with rusty spoons. YOU will have got beyond that point way before us though.

 

[Bazza]

I watched Hostel for 20 minutes. I'd seen it before but I challenged my girlfriend to see how much she could get through.

I'm off to Bratislava (where the film is set) next week for a stag do and I made the fatal error of telling my girlfriend that we're being greeted by female hosts upon arrival and the subsequent conversation interupted the viewing!

 

[Reno]

London to Brighton. Well made and well acted, but rather cynical British calling card film which wrings all its suspense and from the possibility of an eleven year old girl getting raped and murdered. The end is thoroughly unbelievable.

 

[corporate whore]

The Hound of The Baskervilles - 1959 Hammer version with Peter Cushing as Holmes and Christopher Lee as Baskerville.

A two-pipe movie.

 

[Orang Utan]

Little Miss Sunshine - very good but not as amazing as it's hyped up to be - very sweet though - the Grandad is ace and fantastic acting all round.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh, and Jackass 2 - lots of people getting hurt. I laughed all the way through, so it must be a 'good' film then.

 

[Dubversion]

Little Miss Sunshine - very good but not as amazing as it's hyped up to be - very sweet though - the Grandad is ace and fantastic acting all round.

Alan Arkin rules.

 

[Kanda]

I thought Lil Miss Sunshine was really dull. If it wasn't for Arkin I would have turned it off.

I watched Deja Vu yesterday, was ok. Typical Bruckheimer/Scott stuff.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh, and Jackass 2 - lots of people getting hurt. I laughed all the way through, so it must be a 'good' film then.

I watched this and Borat.

I thought they were alright but that might just have been because I had such low expectations of both.

Nice plane haze viewing

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I thought Little Miss Sunshine was a bit overrated too. The only bit that had me laughing all that much was the porn/corpse confusion bit with the copper.

 

[rollinder]

last night - last episode of Doctor Who - City Of Death (about bloody time)

tonight first episode of Doctor Who Carnival Of Monsters

grey buricrats shooting a rioting commoner and having to deal with fairground entertainers who don't realised that entertainments een banned as it's unproductive for the workers, Pertwee talking to chickens

"They've no sense of responsibility. Give them a hygiene chamber and they store fossil fuel in it."

 

[purves grundy]

The Descent

The very idea of going caving and making yourself tiny enough to squeeze through damp passages which are probably gonna fall in any minute is terrifying enough for me without adding carnivorous crawly humanoid monsters.

A 'descent' enough watch though, and refreshing to have a horror in which everybody dies in the end.

 

[sojourner]

Little Miss Sunshine - very good but not as amazing as it's hyped up to be - very sweet though - the Grandad is ace and fantastic acting all round.

It's one of those extremely rare films that actually had me laughing my fucking head off - on me own. Absolutely loved it, ending was fantastic


I watched Red Road - which was really good - loved the direction (Dogme-style I believe, having looked it up - I like it), story was good (could have been a bit tighter, worked out what had happened fairly early on), but Katie Dickie was excellent in it, as was Tony Curran

 

[ringo]

The Draughtsman's Contract.

Great film; smart, intricate and beautifully shot. Newly converted to an online DVd club with lists of decent films instead of car chase/gun fight/blockbuster shite.

 

[sojourner]

Sexy Beast finally

I've had the chance to watch it several times now, and kept falling asleep, so rented it instead

Ben Kingsley

Both good eps.

City of Death holds many childhood memories for me.

Monsters has some Pertwee fight action.

 

[rollinder]

watched the rest of it last night

 

[Dubversion]

watched Ginger Snaps again, with Pie Eye and Pie sister.

enjoyed it all over again. Really amusing and OTT symbolism, modern fairy tale stuff

 

[gaijingirl]

Been watching the 2nd series of The Smoking Room which never seemed to get popular - as with all TV series I never got to see many of them on first airing due to never being around enough. Just finished the first series. It makes me laugh lots because it really does remind me of when I smoked and worked in various offices....

 

[CharlieAddict]

the host - disappointing. dull. directionless. had no idea on what it wanted to be.

 

[mhendo]

The Departed

Perfectly decent film, but not as good as the hype, IMO, and certainly not Scorsese's best, as some have asserted.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

children of men...it was stupid imo, care not.

zoolander...an all time favourite
