What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Masseuse]

I watched a documentary called The Dolphin of Dingle Bay. I found it in a charity shop.

It's great. All about lovely fungi the wild dolphin and all his human friends.

<Books holiday to Dingle>

 

[Masseuse]

And I bought the dvd of the first series of peep show and watched a couple of episodes of that and I laughed and I laughed.

 

[kage]

A Canadian documentary called Stupidity.

Rather wishy washy with no real information in it. Just jumping on the Moore bandwagon.

The only thing I learned from it was the definitions of Idiot, Imbecile, & Moron

 

[kazza23]

Sadly, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I wasn't very good, but it did have the fit radio presenter from Northern Exposure in it that made up for it.

 

[Loki]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I think it was somebody on this thread who reminded me about this one. RIP John Candy.

Last night I watched "Spinal Tap". I haven't watched it since I was a kid , and although I enjoyed it , it's just not the same film I remember (I had a similiar experience when watching "Superman" on Sunday but that's another story).
I found myself getting upset that they were failing in their quest to take over America rather than laughing at it like I used to.

I think the Comic Strip's "Bad News" which is a blatant rip-off may actually be funnier (?!)

 

[ernestolynch]

Bad Santa - quality film that.

 

[girasol]

The Idiots, the 2nd Dogme film...

Interesting and disturbing... Still wondering what happened to the main character at the end, after she visited her family. 'Spass' (as in spastic) is used as a verb in the film... A new word, perhaps?

 

[andy2002]

Just finished working my way through the Peep Show DVD, now I'm on to seasons 1-3 of Seinfeld and its enormous haul of extras.

Sagan - Unseen Forces

..weird San Franciscan artist types running around playing little games with flashlights and false noses...
(err,no just kidding- no,it's actually a touching hommage to the role of scientific discoveries and newtonian physics through the ages,with a pissing contest between a corrupt tyco brahe-with fake "gold" nose-and kepler(as suited/bespectacled underdog)-as one of the highlights, not to mention blevin blechdom & lesser's moving madame-curie-with-husband-in-laboratory-ditty.... )
...hail sagan,and all cosmic discoveries,- we're all scientists, we are the music makers, let's meditate on the beauty of falling leaves, the fragility of dandelion seeds scattered in the wind... oh yeh. we're part of it all,on this little blue beach ball...floating around in the big black infinity that's space...
...simply beautiful.

Blow wow what a film never seen it before

 

[DaveCinzano]

yesterday watched 'jay and silent bob strike back' - fucking hell that was the funniest film i've seen since 'black balls' lots of gratuitous swearing and dumb gags, can't ask for more. lots of great extras on the dvd too

tonight watched 'shaun of the dead', absolutely superb, beautifully framed and shot by edgar wright with great performances, a sharp little script, tight stuff indeed. loved it

 

[Belushi]

Troy - what a pile of shite.

 

[Poi E]

Armageddon. One of the best films, ever. Bruce Willis being tough but fair, Liv Tyler looking winsome, Ben Affleck at his toothy, cheesy best.

 

[shoddysolutions]

Carlito's Way

Brian De Palma goes out of his way to insult every minority going with cardboard characters and a very (il)liberal sprinkling of 'spicks', 'wops', 'niggers' and an unforgettable 'jew' lawyer palyed by a curly-permed Sean Penn. Al Pacino steals the show, however, as reformed dope baron Carlos Brigante, whom Penn's character manages to get released from a thirty year stretch on a technicality. The film focuses on Pacino's attempts to stay on the straight and narrow while trying to earn enough moolah to fuck off to Miami. Needless to say, thing don't run smoothly, and culminate in a nail-biting climax on the New York subway as Pacino is pursued by mobsters.

 

[Bleep]

Truffaut's 400 Blows.

Excellent stuff. La Dolce Vita tonight.

 

[Random One]

Monster's Inc

Saw that fairly recently, it's a tremendous film. Curtis and Lancaster's finest hours imo.

any hour of burt is a fine hour he was one of the greatest screen actors america ever produced, and does he get kudos? does he shit. he encompassed the crossroads between physical performance, charisma and a chameleon-like ability to become his characters, without going to method-hell.

anyway, last night watched 'the office' series 1, and both volumes of 'kill bill', which i thought was marvellous, better than i expected. the extras were a bit lacklustre though - unlike on the alien quadrillogy. the tech stuff on that is awesome, if a little too in-depth at times there were two chaps from corman's model shop on the 'aliens' extras who were really good at explaining whole sequences, like when ripley and newt are locked in the lab with the facwhuggers by cater burke: these two chaps broke it down in layman's terms perfectly, and when you see the whole bit cut together you appreciate who well they did their job.

Shrek 2. I was somewhat disappointed. Sure, the animation is fantastic but the plot is just all over the place. The first Shrek at least had a decent story.

 

[Dandred]

It was on the telly here but I watched Black cat white cat realy good even if I didn't understand it.

(seen it before so knew what was going on)
